ECW: Man, I hadn't thought about Alex Wright in years
• Good opening promo by Miz & John Morrison, where they essentially set the scene for their five-on-five, traditional Survivor Series match and managed to make fun of everyone in it during the process. As Michael Cole might say, "Vintage Miz & Morrison."

Oh, there's a PPV on Sunday: RAW report
• That segment with Shawn Michaels feigning nervousness about teaming with Rey Mysterio was just bizarre. Adding Dolph Ziggler into it made it even weirder. Then we went and had a good match with John Morrison & The Miz going over on Michaels & Mysterio. Miz & Morrison have now wr...

Ah, the Monday catchup, part I, SmackDown
SmackDown • I enjoyed the interaction between The Undertaker and the now darker Jeff Hardy. It's kind of cool that they went that direction with Hardy because it adds a little more depth to the whole "enigma" side of him. I thought both of them played their roles well. I was interested to see tha...

CCW could fill the void of Tough Enough
• Josh Mathews (Josh Lomberger), who is employed by WWE as a WWE.com personality and announcer • Matt Morgan, who wrestles for TNA. • John Morrison (John Hennigan), who wrestles for WWE's ECW brand. • The Miz (Mike Mizanin), who wrestles for WWE's ECW brand.

Live RAW blog
• It didn't. I am not a big fan of squash matches on RAW. With Rey-Kane, Orton-Batista and Michaels-Jericho still to come, I guess we will get some long matches. • Now the big question, what is stronger? A chair swung by JBL or Shawn Michaels' foot?

SmackDown thoughts
Survivor Series is usually the time of year where WWE kicks off the real road to WrestleMania, so we are probably in store for some great shows soon. SmackDown wasn't really that bad. I think it was the combination of a somewhat run-of-the-mill show and a tired blogger.

TNA: what I liked and what I didn't
WCW's New Blood vs. Millionaire's Club started out as a really innovative idea. After a while, though, it was clear that some people had their fingers in the pot and it wasn't the young guys.<br /><br />Here were are, in 2008, and Vince Russo and TNA are working a very similar angl...
SmackDown thoughts
SMACKDOWN • So glad that Primo & Carlito (the tag team champions) put over The Miz & John Morrison on the eve of DX probably obliterating them on Monday Night RAW. This match was alright, but I felt like the timing was a little bit off at times. Miz and Morrison have no shot against DX on M...

Catching up on SmackDown, Cyber Sunday
• Hardy and Triple H was again a good match, but when Hardy goes for the WWE Championship on three straight pay-per-view shows and loses, it's going to be kind of hard for the fans to take him seriously going for the belt if he ends up going back for it around Royal Rumble and WrestleMania time.

RAW thoughts
Having Chris Jericho and Batista fight in a gauntlet against the same three wrestlers (William Regal, Mark Henry and Kane) was clunky and awkward. When general manager Mike Adamle annnounced the match, I'm not sure anyone knew what he meant or what was going to happen.

SmackDown catch-up
SMACKDOWN Since he has been back positioned as the top guy on the brand, Big Show and Undertaker have taken on the responsbility of that feud, while Hunter has been paired mostly with Jeff Hardy and occasionally, MVP. Many have questioned Hunter's pin of Hardy back at No Mercy. But some have a...

Thoughts on a weird RAW
For starters, I liked that Chris Jericho and Batista got to choose each other's opponents for their matches on RAW, but they never made it clear that they got to choose their stipulations also. Jericho picking all heel lumberjacks for his lumberjack match against Shawn Michaels made sens...

SmackDown thoughts
It was the second week of SmackDown on MyNetwork TV. SmackDown has been consistently good the past few months. Maybe it has to do with the return of Michael Hayes and maybe it has to do with Jim Ross. Or maybe the folks on the blue show are just doing a better job of getting the job done.

RAW thoughts
• I'm sure Batista vs. Jericho will be a fun main event, but why make the fans choose between Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin. I'm not 100 percent convinced they won't pick Shawn Michaels, considering the great feud he's had with Jericho over the past few months.

No Mercy thoughts
• Batista CRUSHED JBL. That was a glorified, Superstars of Wrestling-style squasherrific squash. What ensued after the match with JBL complaining about the economy and being thankful for the economic bailout, to Cryme Time stealing JBL's limo and the Divas and Sgt. Slaughter getting in w...

MySmackDown recap
• The triple-threat match with Triple H against Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy was solid and I was pleasantly surprised at the finish with Triple H pinning Hardy; Jericho getting his heat back by laying out Triple H, Jeff coming in to take out Jericho and then laying out Triple H and then of all...

Opinion: Early-week wrestling
RAW • The ladder match between Jericho and Shawn Michaels was right for the next step in their feud, a high-stakes title match. I'm not really sure where Mike Adamle went before Shawn came out (no one is probably), but this should be a really good match. As if there was a doubt. ECW

ECW thoughts
• Somewhat lacking fanfare debut for "The All-American American" Jack Swagger on ECW. For those who don't know, Swagger is former University of Oklahoma wrestling All-American Jake Hager, who has been well-regarded for some time in WWE's developmental system. He looks like he has plent...

No Punk and no HBK make for a unique RAW
The new World Heavyweight Champion did an effectively smarmy opening segment, reinforcing himself as the top jerk on RAW. Jericho vs. CM Punk was announced as the main event of next week's RAW in Memphis in a steel cage. Not having Punk or Shawn Michaels at the show made for an interesting dyna...

Opinion: Another world title for Jericho highlights an eventful Unforgiven
It had been six-plus years since Chris Jericho reigned as the world champion and there couldn't be a more deserving guy in WWE than Jericho. In a surprising twist, Chris Jericho filled in for CM Punk and won the World Heavyweight Championship scramble match on the same night that he and Shaw...

Opinion: ECW, ECW
• While I am disappointed the self-proclaimed Shaman of Sexy, John Morrison is not participating in the scramble after his loss to Marr Hardy, the pair had a terrific, well-worked match with lots of near falls, lots of counters and lots of cool looking moves. Both these guys are good enough...

Scrambling
RAW • Chris Jericho is continuing to do just about the best job of anyone in a storyline right now, whose name is not Edge. It looks like we're going to get a Shawn Michaels-Chris Jericho money match at Unforgiven, which will probably draw a good buyrate with the scramble matches also on the ca...

SummerSlam had its moments
• John Cena vs. Batista was quite good and surprisingly, had a completely clean finish with Batista winning with the Batista bomb, one of the ropes catching Cena and then, a conventional one. It was important after already having one messed up finish on the show (Henry-Hardy) to make this on...

SmackDown thoughts, SummerSlam preview
SUMMERSLAM It's a fairly stacked SummerSlam card when you have people like Chris Jericho, Big Show and Kane not even making it onto the card. Will Shawn Michaels retire? My guess is probably not, but this is probably how we get Chris Jericho on the card.

Opinion: RAW's final build for SummerSlam
• Santino Marella is fantastic. I am pretty sure I heard Jerry "Stupid" Lawler (as Santino says) laugh out loud more than once at a few of the things Santino said while at the broadcast table. One was when he referred to Michael Cole as Michael Hole. The other was when he referenced Brangelina an...

SmackDown! thoughts
SmackDown! is one of the finest shows that WWE produces. The performances of those two over the past few weeks have been excellent. The match, itself, should probably be a classic, mainly because I am pretty sure Edge and The Undertaker are incapable of having a clunker on that big of a stage.

Opinion: RAW 6/2: The face (or faces) of pro wrestling
The top secondary guys right now are Chris Jericho (face), Shawn Michaels (face) and Mr. Kennedy (face). That doesn't even cover ECW, where their title feud is Kane (face) vs. Big Show (face) or SmackDown!, where I can't even think of who other than Batista (who is taking time off soon) would c...

WWE releases Torrie Wilson
She was formerly married to former WWE superstar and current FCW trainer Billy Kidman and had been dating former Spirit Squad member and Tough Enough contestant Nick Mitchell in recent months. Wilson and Mitchell have their own clothing line and recently opened a store in Texas. Wilson di...

Opinion: Some Impact reactions
Well, Impact was the only televised wrestling program this week that consisted of first-run material. WWE is running year-in-review shows all week. • I love that TNA acknowledged, in a backstage segment, just HOW stupid last week's show was.

Opinion: Musical chairs at WWE commentary table
Now that John Bradshaw Layfield is moving to RAW as a competitor and it appears Tazz is probably moving over to SmackDown! to rejoin Webutuck High School graduate Michael Cole at the announce table, there is probably a void at the ECW commentary table on Tuesday nights. I brainstormed toni...

Opinion: RAW XV great for nostalgia
The Goon (53 years old, better known in wrestling as Wild Bill Irwin) The Goon was a short-lived hockey gimmick that I am not even sure made it to RAW. Bill Irwin runs a wrestling school in Duluth, Minnesota these days. • The last segment was just about the best way to end a show like this. Three sig...

Opinion: Slammiversary/WWE: When giving the fans what they want isn't really enough
Before I wrap this up, I feel compelled to comment on the Vince McMahon "death" storyline. As many fans already know (thank you, Katie Vick and, sadly, Mrs. Guerrero), nothing is considered to be too taboo to use any more - and why should it be? This is professional wrestling, people! I mean, r...
