WEEK IN REVIEW - 10/5 to 10/11

What a week of wrestling we have had! What can I say, what words can I use to describe this past week in Wrestling? These are a few words that come to mind: disappointing, horrendous, lame, good, and pathetic.

WWE

Using the words above, this is how I would describe this past week of WWE: disappointing, horrendous, lame, and pathetic.

Notice I didn’t use the word Good. That comes later.

RAW this week was horrendous, lame and pathetic. It didn’t even earning a rating, or much in the way of a full review. It was basically a repeat of the last two weeks’ Raw and Smackdown, right down to the main event.

It was even downright insulting at times. El Torito versus Min-Gator? Really? Kathie and Hoda twerking and smashing bottles on each other’s asses? I thought they were there to talk breast cancer and Susan G. Komen.

If your eagled eye, you’ll notice there was no Smackdown review this week. It is not that I didn’t watch the show until late, it’s because it didn’t deserve to be reviewed.

I can sum up the 15th Anniversary Broadcast of Smackdown in one word: LAME.

WWE you need to step up big time. Hell in A Cell is two weeks away and we only have one match announced. This is not the way to sell a PPV or the Network . . . not even at $9.99.

TNA

GOOD. This is where that word comes in. TNA was good and far and away the best wrestling broadcast this week. Except for the crowd, it was a rebound from last week’s disappointing show.

TNA has been putting out good shows lately, and seems to be getting back to basics, which is wrestling!

However, I do have to call out TNA. Bound for Glory is/was TODAY (10/12), so why in the hell did they only announced the card this past Wednesday? That is not a good move if they are courting a new TV deal and possibly new Network.

FINAL THOUGHTS: TNA ruled the roost, WWE laid an egg.

MATCH OF THE WEEK: Full Metal Mayhem, The Dudley’s versus the Hardy’s versus the Wolves
WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: The Wolves
IMPACT OF THE WEEK: ROCKSTAR SPUD slapping EC3.
