Detroit Lions Quarterback Mess

Like the old saying goes, "Things get worst before they ever get better." That happens to be the case with with the Detroit Lions. Yesterday Lions had to sign Quarterbacks Kevin O'Connell, and Brooks Bollinger because both Drew Stanton and Daunte Culpepper are both injured. Stanton blew out his knee and is probably done for good which disappoints me because he was really doing good in all of the preseason games. Culpepper was supposedly competing for the starting job against Matthew Stafford. However Culpepper has stitches in his foot that have not been taken out yet. So what does this all mean? It means the Lions are having problems as always and that Matthew Stafford will probably be the starter for week one.

If this is any indication of how the Lions season will go, they will probably be 0-16 once again. Look at their schedule this year.

1 Sun, Sep 13 @ New Orleans
2 Sun, Sep 20 Minnesota
3 Sun, Sep 27 Washington
4 Sun, Oct 4 @ Chicago
5 Sun, Oct 11 Pittsburgh
6 Sun, Oct 18 @ Green Bay
7 BYE WEEK
8 Sun, Nov 1 St. Louis
9 Sun, Nov 8 @ Seattle
10 Sun, Nov 15 @ Minnesota
11 Sun, Nov 22 Cleveland
12 Thu, Nov 26 Green Bay
13 Sun, Dec 6 @ Cincinnati
14 Sun, Dec 13 @ Baltimore
15 Sun, Dec 20 Arizona
16 Sun, Dec 27 @ San Francisco
17 Sun, Jan 3 Chicago

Okay so they might have a chance to win four games at best but I doubt it. They got handed a tough schedule and it doesn't look like this season will be any better then the last. Every team in their division had a good draft and made moves to get better. However the Lions made some bad draft choices and didn't do much to get better. Here is how it always goes. The offense can't do anything so the defense is on the field 75 percent of the time. The defense gets so tired by the end of the fourth quarter they give up a ton of points making it impossible to make a comeback. I am so glad I am not a Lions fan because if I were I still wouldn't watch. Oh what oh what are the Lions going to do. If you ask me they are completely screwed.

WWE Spinner Championship Belt being replaced?

Since the spring of 2005 the one thing has disgusted me the most about the WWE is the WWE Championship and the way it looks. When John Cena won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 21 he got rid of a traditional WWE Championship belt and turned into a glorified piece of bling that people wear around there waist. It is being reported that a new belt is being made to replace the spinner belt and will debut soon. When it comes to wrestling I am about tradition and being old school. I will also admit when it comes the belts I mark out for almost all of them including the spinner belt. The spinner belt is cool to have as a item around the house or to bring out and show your friends but it's not right for a WWE Championship. Look back on some of the older belts.

These belts had style, class, dignity, and sense of respect that made the championship worth fighting for. Look at some of the past WWE Champions like Hogan, Savage, Hart, Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, and others. Do you think they would have looked good with the spinner belt on them? No they wouldn't. In fact in doesn't look good anyone who has held it including Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Edge, Triple H, and Rob Van Dam. I am hoping whatever this new belt looks like it represents the past and the present. I personally would like to see the one that was used from 1998-2002 to return. I hope this new belt debuts soon it likes something people would fight for. Lastly, if you were going to desecrate a belt, why not do it to the World Heavyweight Championship? After all it use to be the WCW Championship belt and WCW is dead so it's not like anyone cares about it. So finally after four years of me complaining about this spinner belt, I will finally get my wish and there will be new championship belt. I for one will be rejoicing that a new belt has arrived. I will definitely be posting my thoughts on this new belt when it comes out and hopefully it will be better then what we have seen the last four years. Stay tuned for more.

Four Athletes on Dancing with Stars

I usually don't write about television outside of sports but considering athletes are involve I will. Dancing with the Stars which is in it's ninth season will air on September 21st. This year four athletes will compete to be a champion again. The athletes are Natalie Coughlin, Chuck Liddell, Michael Irvin, and Louie Vito. I am obviously pulling for "the iceman" Chuck Liddell because I am a huge UFC fan. There some other well known celebrities in the competition this year that include Aaron Carter, Melissa Joan Hart, Kathy Ireland, Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond.

So tune in on September 21st to see who will be the champion of Dancing with the Stars. Don't count out the big athletes because a few of them have won before including Emmitt Smith, Helio Castroneves, and Kristi Yamaguchi. Other athletes who have competed and went far include Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp, Laila Ali, and Evander Holyfield. So like I said don't count out the athletes, especially the bigger ones. They must just shock you.

Goldust vs. Sheamus

Over the last month on ECW I've noticed something that's going probably unnoticed by most wrestling fans and that's the small rivalry on ECW between Goldust and Sheamus. The rivalry concluded last night with a No DQ, No Count out match with Sheamus getting the victory. I have really enjoyed the matches they had on TV because ECW doesn't provide very good TV. Sheamus came from Florida Championship Wrestling which is WWE's developmental promotion. Sheamus was very successful down there winning the FCW Championship on one occasion. He was also a very credible "heel" which made it easy for him to be one on WWE television.

This rivalry has produced some really solid matches on TV that both guys should be proud of especially Goldust who is a veteran and in a lot of peoples mind past his prime. Goldust can still have great matches and make the fans believe in him which made this month long rivalry something to watch. I wish WWE did more of these types of things. Have small little feuds that are competitive that last maybe a month or two between a veteran and a younger guy that helps the younger guy get over in the process. I think Sheamus will be much better now that he worked with Goldust(Dustin Rhodes) and hopefully will go on to have a successful career in WWE. Stay tuned to see how Sheamus does against other opponents.

Shaq VS is fun and unique

So I caught an episode of Shaq VS last night and I got to say I am somewhat impressed by his other athletic skills he has. I also like the concept of another athlete challenging other athletes in their sports. Last night it was Shaq vs. Albert Pujols in a home run contest. Here were the rules for the contest. Shaq's handicap was that Shaq only has to hit the ball 250 feet to center. Pujols has to hit it 382 feet. Also, Shaq got ten outs per round, while Pujols got only five.

The Winner ended being Albert Pujols (Final Score: 16-10) but Albert gave Shaq a lot of credit and they both had a lot of fun with it. This was the third episode of it so far. The first episode was Shaq vs. Ben Roethlisberger. The challenge was a Quarterback challenge. Shaq's handicap was that Shaq gets to start each possession at the 20-yard line while Ben must start at the 40-yard line. The Winner was Ben Roethlisberger in a very close battle. (Final Score: 21-14)

In the second episode Shaq along with some help challenged Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh to a Volleyball match. This time there was no handicap and Misty May and Kerri won the match (Final Score: 11-6, 11-8)

Next week on Shaq VS. he will take on Oscar Dela Hoya in a five round boxing match at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. I am curious to see how this turns out. Also in two weeks he takes on Michael Phelps and their competition is unknown but I am sure we all know what it's going to be about. Tune on ABC on Tuesday Nights at 9pm to find out if Shaq can hang with other athletes in different sports. I enjoy the trash talking as well as the friendliness of it all. It makes for great television and great fun.

Aftermath of Rey Mysterio's Suspension

Last night at the Friday Night Smackdown tapings Rey Mysterio lost in his Intercontinental Title due to being suspended for 30 days because of violating the WWE's Drug and Wellness policy. A lot of people are saying his WWE career might be over due to a controversial interview he did in Mexico. He stated that the suspension wasn't justified which infuriated Vince McMahon. Mysterio has been in a lot of reports since Benoit did suggesting he does do steroids of some sorts. Only time will tell if he comes back to WWE. For now I would not count on it for awhile. So this Friday you will see Rey Mysterio lose the Intercontinental title to John Morrison in what I am told is a very great match that should be on a pay-per-view. I will definitely be tuning in. My question is, where does this leave Dolph Ziggler who was scheduled to face Rey at Breaking Point? Does it now become Morrison vs. Ziggler? I guess we will have to wait and find out.

This suspension is one of those that really screws up things. For example, in 2008 when Jeff Hardy got suspended before Wrestlemania that screwed things up. He was scheduled to win Money in the Bank that year and win the title earlier then he did but didn't because of his suspension. The winner of that match was CM Punk and his career has been great ever since. Guys who drop the ball are giving other guys a huge chance to be somebody. Look at the night Chris Benoit murdered his family and himself. He was suppose to be at a PPV wrestling CM Punk for the ECW Championship that was vacated. Who took Benoit's place? A talented young man by the name of Johnny Nitro who is now known as John Morrison. Coincidence? I am not sure but I know one thing for sure the young guys like Ziggler, Tyson Kidd, David Hart-Smith, Matt Hardy are going to be in line for that title. I cannot wait to see what happens with Intercontinental title the next few months. I think it's going to make for some exciting and fresh matches. Stay tuned to find out more.

White Sox throwing in the white flag, while the Dodgers gain

It would appear that the White Sox don't believe they can win the AL Central any longer because they traded two of their best players away last night. Jim Thome is now with the L.A. Dodgers and Jose Contreras to the Rockies. The White Sox are six games back of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central with only four weeks left to play. However those were not the only last minute deals yesterday. The Dodgers also acquired Jon Garland from Arizona and Ronnie Belliard Washington. The Giants signed Brad Penny to a minor league deal in hopes of him coming back. It would appear that the Dodgers have the advantage now going into the final month of the season and into the playoffs. They now have tons of depth and pitching on their roster. I will be very surprised if the Dodgers do not make it to the World Series and win it all. They have the team to beat right now.

As far as the American League goes, it's a mess as always. Minnesota still has a chance, Boston and Texas are still in it. The Angels did acquire Scott Kazmir last weekend increasing the strength of their rotation but at the end of it all I think the New York Yankees will be in the World Series. Sabathia, and Burnett are starting to prove why they were brought to New York to begin with. The Tigers are to inconsistent and won't make it past the first round if they make it to the playoffs. If the Wild card is Texas, they will be knocked out quick as well. The only teams that can compete with the Yankees are the Angels and Red Sox. So if you ask me the World Series will be the L.A. Dodgers against the New York Yankees with the Dodgers winning in six games. If I am wrong I will make sure to let all of you know but thats my final prediction for the year on baseball. This last month is going to be intense and will be fun to watch so keep your eyes open and see who makes the playoffs.

Chavo Guerrero's role in WWE

Week after week one of the things I see on Monday Night Raw is Chavo Guerrero being made to look like an idiot on national television. Ever since Extreme Rules,this year he has been in the dumbest of matches losing to a Leprechaun named Hornswoggle. Lets start from most recent and go backwards.

August 31st
Bull rope match dressed up as a cow

August 24th
Boxing Match

August 17th
Falls Count Anywhere

July 27th
Blindfold match

July 20th
"Sharp Dressed Man” Tuxedo Match

July 9th
Chavo had wrestle on his knees

These are all the ridiculous matches Chavo has been in and he has lost them all. At first it was kind of funny but it's not anymore. Chavo has not took part in a serious wrestling match in a very long time and it's a disgrace because he comes from a very legendary family. It's also horrible because Eddie died with WWE and the people loved Chavo when he was going out as a good guy trying to honor his uncle. Chavo is a lot better then what they are presenting him on TV. I mean the guy has a pretty decent resume.

ECW Champion
Four time WWE Cruiserweight Champion
Two time WWE Tag Team Champion
WCW Tag Team Champion
Two Time WCW Cruiserweight Champion

If I was Chavo Guerrero I would leave WWE and go to TNA because he would probably be taken more seriously. His family has made a lot of contributions to pro wrestling and well known throughout Mexico and the United States as well as Japan. It's one thing to have funny stuff on television but I don't think a whole lot of people are laughing. I hope Chavo gets his deserved push soon or leaves the WWE and go somewhere else where is appreciated. I want to see Chavo go back to the old ways of "I lie, I Cheat, I steal," and do some of stuff Eddie and him did as a tag team. Only time will tell if Chavo gets his break and has some competitive matches again. Stay tuned for more

Tedy Bruschi Retires

Yesterday a great career of 13 years came to an end. Tedy Bruschi's decided to retire after spending all 13 years of his career with the New England Patriots. He was drafted 86th overall in the 1996 draft and what a remarkable career he had. He accomplished quite a bit for a linebacker including:

-2 time All-American (1994, 1995)
-3 time First-team All-Pac 10 (1993, 1994, 1995)
-1995 Morris Trophy Winner (Defense)
-Second-team All-Pro (2004)
-2 time Pro Bowl selection (2004, 2005)
-Co-NFL Comeback Player of the Year (2005)
-2 time Ed Block Courage Award winner (2000, 2005)
-3 time Super Bowl champion (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX)

In 2005, he suffered a mild stroke which many thought would end his career as football player but came back to play in the fall where he continued to play up until yesterday. Even the often unemotional Bill Belichick was choked up talking about Tedy yesterday stating he was the perfect player. There is not doubt in my mind Bruschi will be in the Hall of Fame someday and will be considered for having one of best comebacks in sports history. Congratulations Tedy on an outstanding career. You deserve all the recognition in the world.

Hollywoods Rejects Fantasy Football Team

Yesterday I had my Fantasy Football Draft on the Yahoo Sports league I am in and I wasn't disappointed with who I got in the draft. I hope to do better in football then I did in baseball. So here it is my Fantasy Football team.

So as you can see I have a pretty solid lineup. This league is going to be really awesome. I know a couple of people in it and I am really looking forward to it. I will post from week to week the results and stats of each game. Week 1 starts September 10th and I am pumped and ready for football.

ESPN Fantasy Baseball Update

Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted on my ESPN Fantasy Baseball team in a long time. Well I threw in the white flag a while ago. I am 4-17 and in dead last against my fellow employees at where I work. I am very ashamed I didn't do better considering my knowledge of baseball. There is always next year and I know I will do better. This is my first year running a full fantasy baseball team and I think it will take me a little bit to catch on. There is one trend I might follow next year and I am not giving strategy away to anyone. Well I will be back at the end of the season to show you how horrible I did in this league. Until then you'll have to be patient.

Nogueira reclaims dominance at UFC 102

UFC 102 didn't leave my disappointed Saturday Night. The long awaited fight between Randy Couture and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira didn't let down at all. But before I get to that lets talk about a few other fights. For example Todd Duffee knocked Tim Hague in seven seconds a new UFC record. Hague is from Calgary, Alberta Canada and now might just be as famous as Bret Hart. Gabriel Gonzaga got back into the win column with a victory against Chris Tuchscherer. Brandon Vera defeated Krzysztof Soszynski in a good three round battle. Also Nate Marquardt defeated Demian Maia in 21 seconds which shocked me because Maia is a really good fighter and was undefeated up until that point. And what about Keith Jardine getting beat by Thiago Silva in 95 seconds. I thought for sure that fight was going three rounds with as many 3 round fights Jardine has had.

The finally the battle of two legends, Couture vs. Nogueira. The fight didn't disappoint but it was mainly dominated by Nogueira. Couture did counter a lot of Nogueira's submission attempts which kept him in the fight for the whole duration of it. I have a lot of respect for both fighters. With this victory Nogueira is probably next in line for Lesnar that is unless Shane Carwin somehow beats Lesnar at UFC 106 which I doubt will happen. UFC 103 is September 19th so I will be back then with more UFC news. The Ultimate Fighter starts September 16th and It's going to be great. Stay tuned for more...

What about Drew Stanton?

I am not much of a Detroit Lions fan...actually I am not a Lions fan at all but there is one thing thats got me interested. All anyone is talking about is the Quarterback battle between Matthew Stafford, and Dante Caulpepper. I've watched all three preseason games and why is no one talking about Drew Stanton? He has looked the best out of three so far this year. Personally I think he should be the starter opening day. He's got to be somewhat good if he was drafted in the second round. I think if he started on a regular basis and got into a rhythm and system then he could be great. Look at his numbers at MSU

YEAR CMP ATT YDS CMP% LNG TD INT SACKED
2003 2 3 39 66.7 31 0 0 1
2004 141 220 1601 64.1 57 8 6 4
2005 236 354 3077 66.7 75 22 12 23
2006 164 269 1807 61 46 12 10 19
TOTAL 543 846 6524 64 75 42 28 47

Those number are not that bad. They aren't that great but I've seen worst. He could be a prodigy and superstar waiting to happen. I think if the Lions don't give him a fair shot he will leave and end being a success wherever he goes. There are some teams in need of a good Quarterback. I think of a few teams like the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, St. Louis Rams, San Fransisco 49ers, and I might even say the Washington Redskins. There will always be a team i need of a good Quarterback. Stanton had the game winning touchdown today and has moved the ball more then the other two. Anyways on that note I think you are going to hear a lot more from Drew Stanton in the future. I wouldn't count him just yet. Stay tuned for the rise of Drew Stanton.

An NFL first...I think

Why is their always drama in Dallas when it comes to the Cowboys. If it isn't Romo with Jessica and the problems with T.O. in the past. Now the drama isn't even with a person, its about a big video screen. Jerry Jones paid for a new 1 billion dollar stadium for the Cowboys. Just one problem the video screen/scoreboard the hangs in the center above is a bit low. The league standard is 85 feet above the field. The video screen/scoreboard hangs 90 feet above. So for the first time in NFL history as far as I know the league had to make a ruling about how to handle kicks and punts that are interfered with by the scoreboard being to low. Here is what they have come to.

The NFL will allow the video scoreboard to remain but the down will be replayed if ball hits scoreboard. Coaches can't challenge it but the refs can if they think it's close. I have never heard of anything like this but if anyone else has let me know. I am curious to know what it is. Isn't it like Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to stir up some controversy and make things difficult. I will make this guarantee. They will be asked to raise the video screen at the end of the season because people will be so fed up with having to replay every punt or kickoff. I feel bad for any punter or kicker who has toe enter that stadium this year. It's ridiculous. I hope this comes back to haunt them. It should be an interesting season for the Cowboys without T.O. and the new video scoreboard. I cannot wait to see what happens

Rey Mysterio Suspended for 30 Days

Earlier this week I was shocked to learn that the masked marvel Rey Mysterio was suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE's drug and wellness policy. Actually it doesn't surprise me because his name has been mentioned a lot since Chris Benoit died. He has been named in numerous reports about wrestlers who take steroids, or other drugs. This is not good for him considering he is the Hulk Hogan of luchadors in Mexico. He has such a huge fan base in the WWE and across parts of the world. So what does this mean for the Intercontinental Championship?

Well it means he will probably lose the title this Tuesday at the Smackdown tapings. He will probably lose it to Dolph Ziggler who he was scheduled to wrestle at the next WWE Pay-per-view Breaking Point. There are a lot of guys who are deserving of that title right now. The ones I think of are Matt Hardy, John Morrison, Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, Finlay and even Kane. The one thing I am glad about is that due to this suspension some of the younger guys will get pushed a little bit harder then they are now. I am also glad that WWE does not play favorites with their superstars regarding their policies. Mysterio is a huge name and he is paying the price for his mistakes. You can bet that he will not get a title again for a long time and will be losing a lot when he comes back.

With all that being said I wonder who Dolph Zigglers opponent will be at Breaking Point? I hope it's Morrison or Hardy. We will find out on September 13th.

Jeff Hardy leaves the WWE

Last night on Smackdown Jeff Hardy said his farewell to the WWE as he lost the loser leaves town World Heavyweight Title match in a steel cage match against CM Punk. I was really happy to see Jeff have a proper send off. Over the last week he has had two incredible matches with a guy that he made a credible main eventer and made him a credible heel. So yes I am agree with what Matt Hardy said. He stated Jeff made CM Punk a credible main eventer and heel. Matt also called out some of the internet wrestling community who criticized Jeff Hardy by saying that they should respect Jeff Hardy because of what he has done for their friend. I agree with that totally. It wouldn't surprise me if these certain internet wrestling fans are from Chicago or even wrestlers from Chicago. Chicago wrestlers are known to be assholes and know it all's. At least thats what I have heard from people.

Anyways enough but the war of words. Jeff's three run in the WWE was awesome. As I mentioned before he did a lot of great things in his second run with the WWE. He had some great matches with Umaga, Mr. Kennedy, Triple H, Edge and his brother Matt. Do I think Jeff will be back? Most certainly yes. His career is not over by a long shot. Jeff Hardy will be in the WWE Hall of Fame someday and will always be remembered for his rock star like entrance and his craziness in the ring.

All I got to say is Jeff, I look forward to seeing you on TV again.

NFL games I can't wait to watch this year

With the regular season just around the corner there some games with some significance that I look forward to watching. A lot of potentially good games this year. So hear are the ones I am looking forward to the most.

Week 1
Titans vs. Steelers on Thursday Night

Week 3
Panthers vs. Cowboys on Monday Night

Week 4
Vikings vs. Packers on Monday Night

Week 8
Panthers vs. Cardinals on Sunday

Week 13
Eagles vs. Falcons on Sunday
Vikings vs. Cardinals on Sunday

Right now these are the only games that seem appealing to me. Obviously every Carolina Panther game is interesting to me but these games stand out to me for a number of reasons. Notice no Detroit Lions games. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 0-16 once again. They have a pretty tough schedule. They must be trying to make history the only way the can. I love football season. September 10th is opening kickoff and I cannot wait.

WWE Summerslam Recap

I've said it on this blog many of times that nothing in wrestling really excites me anymore but last night may have been the exception to what I've been saying. Summerslam 2009 was an exceptionally solid PPV which kept you going from the opening bell until the return of the Undertaker at the end. The first match of the evening was for the Intercontinental Championship between Rey Mysterio and Dolph Ziggler. It was a fast pace back and forth match that saw Rey keep his title. I do tip my hat to Dolph though because he had one hell of a match. He'll eventually get the title.

Up next was MVP vs. Jack Swagger which was a solid match between two of biggest up and coming stars on Monday Night. Both showed off their skills but in the end MVP won the match. It was a good match between two totally different cultures and styles.

It was then time...time for Cryme Tyme to take on the Unified Tag Team Champions in Big Show and Chris Jericho. Cryme Tyme really proved that they could hang with the best in the business. I thought the match was excellent but in the end Show and Jericho retained their titles.

Next up was Kane taking on the Great Khali. Personally I hate matches like these but it was better then the usual. Kane got the victory and makes me wonder if the feud is over. For our sake I hope it is.

I don't about you but I was ready. I was ready but I wasn't prepared for one of the most spectacular returns in pro wrestling history. You had to watch it to appreciate. The return of DX was simply electrifying in ways I didn't think were possible. The match itself was totally what I expected and more. I said a week or so ago that people would remember the night Rhodes/Dibiase fought DX because they would have the match of their lives. They hung in there with two legends in Shawn Michaels and Triple H. The match was great and DX got the victory.

Up next was the shortest title match in history between Christian and William Regal. I think it last six seconds. What a slap in the face to two great wrestlers. It seems like ECW is the joke of all the PPV's or they are not getting the credit they deserve. I can tell you this, since ECW has been officially apart of the WWE I have only enjoyed two of their championship matches. There was the night CM Punk defeated John Morrison in 2007 on TV. The other match was recently between Christian against Tommy Dreamer in an Extreme Rules match. That was also on TV. The only thing I liked about this match is Regals new alliance with Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozloff. It's kind of interesting actually. Anyways nothing exciting about this match

I've seen a lot of great WWE Title matches but I've never seen anything more crazy then I did last night. Orton got himself got DQ'd then the match got restarted. Orton then got himself counted out then again the match got restarted. Orton got the pin with his feet on the ropes. Another referee came out and for the third time the match got restarted. Cena looked like he had the victory then a fan came in and messed things up. Orton eventually gave Cena the RKO and kept his title.

A lot of people knew the outcome of this next with Jeff Hardy and CM Punk. It was Tables, Ladders and Chairs and it was one of the most brutal and exciting matches I've ever seen. Both men abused their bodies in ways you shouldn't. In the end, CM Punk ousted Jeff Hardy to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. As Punk was celebrating the lights went out and when they came back on the Undertaker was lying in the ring in Jeff Hardy's spot. The Undertaker choke slammed the new champ and left him lying as Summerslam ended.

I am not saying it was the greatest PPV of all time but it was very solid. DX's entrance stole the show, Ziggler/Mysterio was great and so was the TLC match. I would definitely rate it 7.5/10. A lot of people were buzzing after the PPV and said it was the best PPV they have seen out of WWE in a long time. I would have to agree. I am looking forward to the fallout from all three brands this week on TV. It should be interesting. If you didn't watch it you missed out but you can always but it on DVD. Well those are my thoughts. Hope you all enjoyed a good PPV.

WWE Summerslam Predictions

Tomorrow night is the night...The Biggest party of the Summer. It's Summerslam and I for one cannot wait. It looks to be a great card. Here is the final card along with my predictions

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. John Cena
I think this could be there best match to date. I have a great feeling about this match but in the end Randy Orton will remain WWE Champion and remain the top heel in the company

World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk in a TLC Match
Based on everything I've seen, read and heard I think the WWE Universe will be shocked and Jeff Hardy will retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

Cryme Tyme vs. Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show
Cryme Tyme is a legit tag team who has not held gold yet in the WWE but Jericho and Big Show make for a dominating tag team so in the end Jericho and Show keep the titles.

Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler
Rey Mysterio is nearing the end of his prime. Dolph Ziggler's time is now. He reminds me so much of Curt Henning in terms of his looks and charisma. I think Dolph Ziggler aka Nicky from the Spirit Squad walks out the new Intercontinental Champion

D-Generation X vs. The Legacy
Finally Shawn Michaels returns. I am going to stand behind my statement and say once again that this match will put Rhodes/Dibiase one step closer to being big. They made themselves look great with their attack on DX this past Monday. I cannot wait to see a DX return, victory and celebration.

The Great Khali vs. Kane
Usually the heel in this feud wins so I am going with Kane

ECW Champion Christian vs. William Regal
This match could steal the show because of the two unique styles they both bring. I really enjoy Christians work and believe he will continue to be the face of ECW for a little while longer.

Jack Swagger vs. MVP
I like this feud between Swagger and MVP. Both are great athletes and bring a different vibe to Monday Night Raw. I would like to see Swagger win because he is a great amateur wrestler but I think MVP will be victorious.

I think their will be some interesting surprises tomorrow night. Look at all the guys not on the show. Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Hart Dynasty, John Morrison, Mark Henry, The Miz, and Finlay. Who knows, maybe the Undertaker will return tomorrow night. It will be a great night of action. I will be sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 28th st watching all of it unfold. I will be back on tomorrow night with a recap of what happened.

Hardy Boys reunite for the last time?

Last night on a really great episode of Smackdown Matt and Jeff Hardy teamed up with John Morrison against CM Punk and the Hart Dynasty. The question is, is this the last time that we see the Hardy Boys together as a tag team. It has been widely reported that Jeff Hardy's contract expires after Summerslam and that he will be leaving the company. If this happens to be true Jeff had a great 3 year run even though he was suspended for 90 days back in 2008. In his three year second run with the WWE he has accomplished a lot.

He held the Intercontinental Title three times, the WWE Title one time, the World Heavyweight Title one time and even one the Tag Team titles with Matt one time. He had some great matches with Edge, Triple H, Umaga and Mr. Kennedy. I can tell you without any doubt my favorite Jeff Hardy moment is Armageddon 2008 when he won the WWE title in a triple threat match against Edge and Triple H.

However I do have to mention that late last night Matt Hardy posted this on his twitter account.

"Here's an update for the "sheets"-Jeff & I might not team again due to pursuing singles careers. And Jeff will be with WWE after Summerslam".

So this might be a case of WWE falsely leaking things to get the fans talking. They have done this before. A lot of people are expecting CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship but then again why would they put it on Hardy for only a month just lose it again. Something tells me that the viewers watching Summerslam are in for a few surprises. Only time will tell...
