This is week in wrestling was good but it was all a quality build up to the matches at Night of Champions.

 

Raw

Raw this week was felt to be good but could have been better, it was great to see ZZ Top as the guest host as it got to see one of the funniest things with Santino wearing that fake beard.

Cena coming up and building up the main event in what I expect to be a great match with three of the biggest superstars in the ring at one time.

I was hoping not see another tag match as the main event as I have seen all month between the three shows.

I was into the six man tag team match because I got to see some of the young talent shine as I saw Kofi come into his own as he has showed something new in the ring and like to see him shine at Night of Champions.

Brain Kendrick and Lawler match was kind of predictable of who was going to win because most matches Lawler walks into now a days are to face the young cocky superstars and show him who’s boss. 

Watching the Mickie James interview brought me back to the old days when they would interview superstars from the ramp or near that area and had a old school fell to it.

Mark Henry keeps his impact on Raw rolling with another victory against Jericho as he is becoming a top face on Raw and a force to be reckon with.

Hornswoggle and Chavo was my bathroom break for the second week in a row. It was good to see a athlete getting the chance to run Raw next week in Washington D.C.

I feel like that Alicia Fox is getting some type of a push or it is just another diva fill-in match.

The Main Event was a great ending, with Cena getting the momentum going into Night of Champions as he looks to get back his title that he never lost.

Overall Raw was a good show and I am looking forward to the Big Diesel running the show this Monday.

 

ECW

Yoshi Tatsu and William Regal put a good match together to start the show, to me its good to see a good veteran like Regal going off with a different style in Yoshi.

Jackson squashed the jobber and as I watch this match I wonder as I have for years, where in the hell do they find all these jobbers.

Jackson looks to be having a feud against Kozlov as it could turn into USA vs. Russia type storyline. It will be something that I keep my eye on.

The Golden One vs. The Gold Standard was a good quality match as Shelton would build the momentum that he has had in the weeks that he has been on ECW.

Sheamus called out Finlay in a promo, I wondered if Finlay will have anything to say back to the Irish Warrior in the weeks to follow.

Tyler Reks put a good first match together beating Paul Burchill and the little Abraham Washington talk show was what you say horrible.

I see myself watching ECW more and more and I will keep doing the same to see what I will get from the Land of the Extreme.

 

WWE Superstars

This was one of the first times I have seen Regal vs. Christian and they didn’t disappoint in a good match to open the show.

Evan Bourne beat Jamie Noble in a match just to basically to get Bourne over.

Morrison just keeps his momentum going, hopefully getting a World Championship run soon as he will be the top face on SmackDown when Hardy leaves.
