Smackdown and Impact Thoughts

A very solid week in the wrestling entertainment world. A very emotional episode of Smackdown that was tributed to the late Eddie Guerrero was 5-star material. When was the last time I said that about Smackdown?! Batista, JBL, Chavo had very deep comments about Eddie. Never thought I'd see a 6"6 318 pound Animal cry. Good segments and reminicents of Eddie's wrasslin career. The guy was very hilarious and a great in-ring performer. A winning combination indeed.

TNA Impact was pretty tight too. Why don't these guys get more ratiings than they do?! Opening of Genesis pics was sick!! Slams on barb wires (to go along with another super barb wire match at Turning Point between "The Monster" Abyss and Sabu) and Samoe Joe destroying "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels (very hardcore; get will Chris).

1st match has "The Samoa Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs. "Mr. 630" Gerelle Clark. No 630 splash this match as Joe dominated in his usually manner. 6'0 and a whooping 280 pounds, you wouldn't believe the way this guy can move. Sick modification of a DVD (Death Valley Driver) knocks out Clark and then the submission. This move makes John Cena's FU look like a weak fireman's carry. Work on it Cena.

Christian segment!! Did I mention how happy I am to see this guy here!! Awesome mic work. Wasn't too keen on him being a face (good guy) as he has been such a damn good heel (bad guy) but it'll work. Worked the crowd; got HUGE chants. Now, out comes "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown. He does his spiel and before he could get his punch line out, Cpt. Charisma cuts him off and makes fun of him on how his "Pounces" guys. LMAO!! Crowd starts a Monty's gay chant!! Too cool. They start to brawl and then Monty gets the best of it by giving Christian a sick Pounce making Cpt. Charisma fly head first into the bottom/middle rope.

TNA is improving weeek after week. 1st class wrestling and improved storylines. It'll be interested to see what the WWE does to try to top the Eddie G. tributes because I don't think they can.
