This feud showed promise a month ago but has amounted to nothing. In the two months since Knox first attacked Finlay and called him soft, they’ve had only one singles match that Finlay won after the Horny distraction/shillelagh shot and one tag match but Hardy/Henry was the focus there. Finlay...

Amy’s take on ECW 09/23/08: *Don’t forget ECW on Sci-Fi moves to its new time 9 EST, 8 CST next Tuesday 09/30/08.* Opening Segment: Miz and Morrison came to the ring. They wanted to clear something up before the show got underway. Miz blamed Bourne’s BFF Ricky Ortiz for his loss to Evan last...

Amy’s LATE take on Raw 09/22/08: Opening Segment: Jericho atop a ladder called Michaels on his statement about revolutionizing the ladder match last week. Jericho pointed out his own impressive ladder match history. He said he’d still be the champion after No Mercy. Orton came down, told...

While Bella’s only wrestled about five minutes total in three matches, I’ve liked what little I’ve seen so far. She’s already better than Maria. In the brief backstage divas segment this past Friday night, Brie looked comfortable and sounded natural (unlike the awkward McCool). Judging by the...

Regardless what many think of the WWE’s version of ECW, the show is doing just fine without bringing over any top-tier stars. ECW with its “lack of major talent” consistently beats TNA with its big names (Sting, Angle, Nash, Cage, Booker) in the ratings. And ECW only has one hour to impress...

Amy’s take on Smackdown 09/19/08: Match #1 Maryse vs. Michelle McCool (Divas Championship): Early on, Maryse took control. Nice spot at two minutes with McCool flipping over Maryse then walking across her back and hitting the low dropkick to her seated opponent. Maryse went to the outside for...

Two more things occurred to me... While Raw will benefit from ECW’s young, fresh talent, it also means those guys that aren’t being used at all (London, Palumbo, Deuce, Venis) and those being used very rarely (Burchill, Snitsky) will have next to no chance of making it on Raw anytime soon...

With this new gimmick, Charlie Haas went from two TV appearances (during Million Dollar Mania) this year to being on Raw four straight weeks now. Wow. Clearly, he's getting a push. He could still be working dark matches or sitting home in danger of being future endeavored like some others...

It’s really only the last two months that the WWE has overloaded us with JBL in the title picture. He’s had more opportunities (3 by my count) in two months than some people have or will have in a year’s time. When he demanded Adamle make him the #1 contender Monday night, I had to resist the...

I'm curious about who and when the last time someone actually won the world title back in their rematch. 1. Who and when was the last time the WWE title was won in a rematch? 2. Who and when was the last time the WHC title was won in a rematch? 3. Who and when was the last time the ECW title...

Jeff's matches are always exciting and he’s really improved the last year, showing there’s more than just the spots to Jeff Hardy. His match with HBK on Raw was one the best TV matches this year. He bumps and sells like no one else (except maybe the recently departed Delaney). Matt’s matches are...

If you compare their rosters, Smackdown has a slightly smaller roster. Add to that, there are a few guys (Edge, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga) out at the moment. In contrast, Raw has quite a few guys they either aren’t using at all or are using inconsistently. When ECW merges with Raw and stops sharing...

I couldn’t disagree more with the writer’s opinion on Orton’s recent promos. In the past when Orton was champion, his delivery was very drawn out and seemed forced, like he was trying too hard. Orton promos six months ago, I had to fight dozing off. Now his delivery is much more natural...

Jack Swagger: In-ring, he's impressive, an interesting blend of more traditional mat wrestling and power moves. He just needs to not rush the moves so they'll seem more impactful. (Of course, one can only do or expect so much when they only give you 90 seconds to work.) I'm sure he'll settle...

Amy’s take on ECW 09/16/08: Match #1 Matt Hardy vs. Mike Knox (non-title): After the standard collar-elbow tie-up/back your opponent into the corner, the two traded side headlocks. Knox escaped a bulldog attempt and dropped Hardy with a big boot then stayed on him with stomps, powerslam, and...
