Raw Segment of the Week: Christian Defeats Del Rio

There seems to be a huge push for Christian since his return to the WWE. His legit victory over World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio earns the Raw Segment of the Week.

Add this one to my tv show list

Hey guys
So I’ve always been the person to watch weekly shows and never in a million of years would I have thought there’d be one dedicated to the wwe divas. Now I must admit when my best friend told me about this show I was a sceptic and I almost didn’t watch due to none of my favorite divas (Kaitlyn, AJ, and Alcia) not being a part of the cast. However I managed to put my Presumptions aside and give the show a shot. Thank goodness I did because I absolutely LOVED it. The only thing I would gripe about is seeing Cena on my tv screen but hey since he’s dating Nikki Bella what can I do? Speaking of which I feel a bit bad for Nikki, you can clearly tell her heart belongs to John but with his recent divorce he’s a bit hesitant to start a new life with Nikki causing her to have doubts on the relationship. Then on the other hand you have Brie and Bryan. They didn’t have to much focus on this episode; which is sad cuz I RESPECT THE BEARD. However there was talk about the couple going ring shopping, which is very exciting because they’re an adorable couple.
Now what’s a reality tv show without drama and a favorite person on the show? For me personally the story that I found most intriguing was Nattie training and yet not having a match at WrestleMania rather having to baby sit the newbies JoJo and Eva Marie. Speaking of the newbies at this point I see nothing special about either girl but hopefully they can prove me wrong. Although I must say kudos to Eva Marie for being rebellious and dying her hair red and not blonde. That takes some guts. The drama was also a high factor of the show. Ariana’s dude Viney, looked like he was going to blow a blood vessel when he found out about Brodus Clay telling his girl “you suck” (which I might add pissed me off too) so he had every right to get upset, he should’ve just handled it in a different manner since that could ruin his girls job. Side note I love how John aka Jimmy Uso (Naomi’s boyfriend) said he would’ve done the same. Might I add they’re an adorable couple.

What’s a good show without viewers getting livid right? Well at least I know that’s what happened to me last night. I was very upset when the 8 person tag got cut from WrestleMania. In fact the best friend and I were pissed when we watched mania. Seeing the backstage reactions though killed me. Especially Trinity’s aka Naomi’s. I’ve been watching Naomi since NXT, yes she may not be one of my faves but that doesn’t mean I’m not women enough to admit what an amazing athlete she is. Seeing her cry was not a good feeling. The same can be said for Arian. You see because once upon of time Arian was once JoJo and Eva Marie for me. I saw nothing special what so ever but she has indeed proved me wrong. She’s come a long way since her tough enough days. All I gotta say Is damn you punk and taker…. Why did you have to to over time???!!!!
On conclusion this episode was very entertaining to me. I can’t wait for next week. Hopefully Arian talks to Viney because the issue should be discussed. With that said the rest of the upcoming episodes should be great to with the twins and their dudes, Nattie and TJ (Tyson Kidd) and the new relationship between Justin Gabriel and JoJo, and of corse Naomi and Jimmy. This has been my review of this weeks total divas and from now on you will be getting written reviews in collaboration style because my very own best friend Aranya will be adding in his thoughts and opinions thus creating a very very divatasric review. I hope y’all will enjoy the ride. Catch you all on Tuesday for “inside the squared circle with Nessa: Raw edition”

Have a wonderful and blessed week. Love you all

Ed’s Perspective: A Look Back At The Survivor Series

Just moments ago, I put up a post taken from WWE.com, that had a list of 15 great Survivor Series teams. The names on the list are like a Who’s Who list of WWE Superstars over the last quarter of a century.

JBL, Batista, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Razor Ramon, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, Brutus Beefcake, Ahmed Johnson, Sycho Sid, British Bulldog, Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy , Eddie Guerrero, Lex Luger, The Steiner Bros, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Demolition,Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Hardys, Ultimate Warrior,  & The Legion of Doom.

That doesn’t even mention current Superstars still in the WWE or around the business: The Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho, John Cena, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton,  Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Christian, Big Show,& RVD.

That by no means is a complete list and is just comprised from the list of 15 great teams in that one WWE.com article. Dozens more could and should make the list. Check out this post: PHOTOS: A LOOK BACK AT SURVIVOR SERIES. You talk about memories – this is the proverbial walk down memory lane with 199 photos from Survivor Series past.

Survivor Series is always fun and full of surprises. You can even do your own version of “Fantasy” Sports by putting together your own “perfect” teams from the past, the present or a mixture. This article has: 10 SUPERSTARS PICK THEIR SURVIVOR SERIES DREAM TEAMS.

Oh yeah as I finish this up, I voted in the the poll I mentioned at the very beginning of this article. I must be too old school, because the team I voted for only had 1% of the vote out of 17,120 votes submitted at that time. If you would like a hint at who I voted for, check out the picture at the top of the post, and remember that was Ed the fan, not Ed the journalist doing the voting.

WWE.com Poll: Which team is the most impressive Survivor Series squad in history?

Thanks to the endlessly fun format of the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match, the WWE Universe has witnessed the teaming of unlikely allies, the forging of new partnerships and the combining of singular talents that, under normal circumstances, would have no reason to team together. WWE fans have seen dream teams come into reality and, on occasion, the implosion of presumably unbeatable four- and five-man squads.

Through it all — the 25 Survivor Series events and dozens of Traditional Elimination Tag Team Matches — some groups have simply stood out above the rest. Whether it was due to their unique, never-before-seen lineups or their superbly impressive performances, these 15 Survivor Series squads are worth celebrating.

But don’t take our word for it. Take to the official WWE.com poll and add your voice to the conversation by voting for your all-time favorite Survivor Series team! (VOTE | VIDEO PLAYLIST)

#15 Team SmackDown (Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, JBL, Batista & Bobby Lashley)

#14 The Rude Brood (Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect & The Fabulous Rougeaus)

#13 Razor Ramon, Randy Savage, 1-2-3 Kid & Marty Jannetty

#12 Aja Kong, Bertha Faye, Lioness Asuka & Tomoko Watanabe

#11 Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Christian & MVP)

#10 Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan & Brutus Beefcake

 #9 Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson, Sycho Sid & British Bulldog

#8 Andre the Giant, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy & Butch Reed

#7 Team Guerrero (Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, Big Show & Rob Van Dam)

#6 The Visionaries (Rick Martel, The Warlord and Power & Glory)

#5 The All-Americans (The Undertaker, Lex Luger & The Steiner Bros.)

#4 Team WWE (The Rock, Big Show, The Undertaker, Kane & Chris Jericho)

#3 The Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts & Demolition)

#2 Team DX (Shawn Michaels, Triple H, CM Punk & The Hardys)

#1 The Warriors (Ultimate Warrior, The Texas Tornado & The Legion of Doom)

Who Will The Fans Cheer For?

In a sport where the good guys and the bad guys are usually pretty clear, this question begs an answer. Who will the WWE Universe cheer for in the Survivor Series Triple Threat Match?

First there is WWE Champion CM Punk. He is officially the “heel” in the match, but seeing as he was a crowd favorite just a few weeks ago, and that many of those people are still huge fans, there will be many people cheering for the Second City Saint.

Then there is the face of the WWE, John Cena. Cena is still way over with Cenanation, especially the young crowd. You can bet there be plenty of “Let’s go Cena / CM Punk” chants.

Then there is the new kid on the block, Ryback (can you call a monster like Ryback the new kid). He gets a huge pop and the crowd goes wild with the “Feed Me More” chant. When you factor in him getting screwed over in the last PPV, then could he be the crowd favorite for the match?

There will be some fans who love all three superstars, so will they have the dilemma of who to cheer for, or will they be happy with everyone in the match and go home a winner no matter who comes out with the WWE Title that night.

Oh yeah, one more question – will we hear any Gold – berg chants?????

Ed’s Perspective: Thoughts On Various Topics; Looking Forward to Turning Point

  • TNA:  As I normally leave posts on TNA to our two resident experts – Trevor and John, I thought I would mention that I’m looking forward to tonight’s Turning Point PPV. I can’t wait to see Jeff Hardy defend his title in a ladder match. You know there are going to be some nasty bumps in this one!
  • WWE: This is Ed the fan speaking – the best thing the WWE could do right now is make RAW a two-hour show again. Oh yes, there are plenty of other things I could suggest, but for me personally 3 hours of RAW every week is too much. Maybe I’ll throw up a poll asking what your opinion on this is, but all the different WWE programming on each and every week plus a PPV every month – JUST GIVE ME TWO AWESOME HOURS OF RAW!
  • HPW: What an awesome show Jerry Wilson and Hoosier Pro Wrestling put on last week in Columbus, IN. It is fun to have the big name stars come to town, but I want to give a huge shout out to the regular roster of HPW stars who give it their all, each and every month. And to my friend Jerry Wilson – you do an amazing job of providing us with the very best in Indy Wrasslin’ .
  • New Era Wrestling: Excited about heading back to Shelbyville, IN to cover New Era Wrestling for the second time. I am so getting into the Indy Promotions and the love getting to know the men and women behind the scenes. I know I’m going to see another good show.
  • DTRT Wrestling News Radio: Trevor and I are kicking around the idea of doing two 30 minute shows each week and adding a co-host. We’ll have an announcement soon in regards to this. We would love to have our listeners share our broadcast info with their friends. You don’t have to listen live, every episode is archived and can be downloaded any time at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dtrtwrestlingnews
  • And finally a special shout out to the crew here at DTRT Wrestling News: You 3 are awesome! Trevor, my partner in this endeavor, works so hard behind the scenes that I could never say enough positives about him and the fantastic work he does. John, you do great work with the recaps each week. I’m looking forward to bigger and better things from you in the future – I know you have it in you! And finally to Vanessa, our newest contributor – what a breath of fresh air you are to our site. You keep on doing what you do – and that is writing entertaining, insightful  material from your own perspective. You are a great addition to the DTRT Wrestling News Staff
