WWE Extreme Rules


Tonight was WWE Extreme Rules night. The one night of the year where the WWE "Goes Extreme". (They assume each year that viewers have forgotten about the TLC Pay-Per-View that aired just over 4 months prior). But i digress, here are the results.

Triple Threat Cage Match(WWE Title)


John Cena Vs. The Miz Vs. John Morrison

John Cena Beath John Morrison and The Miz to capture his ninth WWE Title. How will this play into tomorrow night's huge celebration of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's birthday on RAW? We'll just have to tune in to the USA Network @ 9/8 central and find out.

Ladder Match (World Heavyweight Title)


Christian Vs. Albetro Del Rio

Christian beat Alberto Del Rio who was drafted to RAW to claim the World Title that was vacated be Edge when a spine injury put an end to his wrestling career. This victory keeps the title on SmackDown thus ensuring that both brands have a major title.

Tables Match (United States Title)


Kofi Kingston Vs. Shaemus

Kofi Kingston Beat Shaemus to capturethe U.S. belt witch came over to SmackDown When the Celtic Warrior was drafted from RAW. (Now it's back on RAW and Daniel Bryan whom Shaemus beat for the title is now on SmackDown. Go figure).

Last Man Standing Match


Randy Orton Vs. CM Punk

Randy Orton once again proved how lethal his RKO is by defeating CM Punk with the lethal finisher. After Orton hit th RKO in grand faashion, Punk was rendered unable to answer the 10 count and lost the match.

Tag Team Country Whipping Match


Michael Cole & Jack Swagtger Vs. Jim Ross & Jerry "The King" Lawler

The absurd tag team of Michael Cole and Jack Swagger defeated the team of WWE Hall Of Fame inductees Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler when "Sir" Michael Cole snuck up and rolled Ross up for the 3 count. (Great now Cole is going to be downright insufferable as if he wasn't a pain in the ass to begin with).

Lumberjack Match (Tag Team Titles)


Kane & The Big Show Vs. Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson

With WWE superstars and NXT rookies surrounding the ring, The Big Show and Kane Defeated Ezekial Jackson abd Wade Barrett of The Coore to retain the Unified Tag Titles. This is yet another in a string of defeats that are threatening to tare The Coore aprt. (Like that would just break my heart).

(Falls Count Anywhere Match)


Rey Mysterio Vs. Cody Rhodes

Apparently Rey Mysterio decided to take a page out of the playbook of former WWE superstar Tajiri by spraying a bluish green mist into the face of Rhodes. This move set Rhodes up the 619 witch led to the victory by Mysterio. Hopefully this puts the painful storyline err fued between Mysterio and Rhodes who blames Mysterio for breaking his nose back in January out of its mysery. (It was painful to watch and trust me i've seen some painful moments in wrestling history.)

And Finally

No DQ/Count Out Match (Loser Goes To TNA I mean Leaves WWE Rules)


Leila Vs. Michelle McCool

Former BFFs McCool and Leila who has been on a losing streak a Texas Mile long, squared off in a hotly contested match. After being hit with a Faith Breaker, Leila managed to reverse the pin and get the 3 count. (This of course assures that McCool will be seen in TNA as soon sa the No Compete Clause in her contract expires) WWE Newcomer Kharma (Formerly known as Awesome Kong) came out and gave McCool a farewell ass whipping. Nice way to send a diva off don't you think?

Well thats all for now. Will report Tuesday on how RAW went. As well as a few personal tidbits. Til then true believers, see ya in the funny papers.

2011 WWE Draft

Last night on RAW and continuing today on WWE.com was the 2011 WWE Draft. Here are comprehensive results from the draft.

RAW got:


01. Beth Phoenix
As one of the most dominating Divas in history, Beth Phoenix wasted no time carving out a name for herself ever since her debut in 2006. The former Women's Champion made a major statement when she became the second Diva in history to compete in the traditional Royal Rumble in 2010. The Raw Diva locker room has been put on notice. The Glamazon is coming back to where she began in 2006.

02. Tyler Reks
He’s big, strong and has his own distinctive look. What Tyler Reks needs now is the right moment to break through in WWE. Will he find it under the glaring lights of the Raw stage?

03. Kofi Kingston
After losing the Intercontinental Championship in early 2011, Kofi Kingston is one of the hungriest Superstars in all of WWE. Kingston knows how it feels to be a champion, and more importantly, what it takes to get there. It’s most likely not a matter of if, but when, Kingston rises again on Raw.

04. Chris Masters
He’s big, he’s powerful and has one of the most lethal holds in all of WWE with his Master Lock. With the opportunity to showcase his talents on Monday nights, can Masters finally elevate his career to the next level?

05. Curt Hawkins
If slow and steady wins the race, Curt Hawkins has been doing everything right. Ever since his move from tag team competition to singles action, Hawkins has continually shown he has the right skills and desire to shine. Now that he is in the Raw spotlight, will he finally put it all together and make a name for himself?

06. Drew Mcintyre
Signed to SmackDown by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and instantly deemed The Chosen One, the brutal McIntyre ruthlessly battled his way into WWE success, including capturing the illustrious Intercontinental Championship. Now, The Sinister Scotsman heads to Raw, ready to fulfill the full prophecy of his greatness.

07. JTG
The high-octane JTG has used his street tough style and off-the-wall attitude to truly shake up SmackDown and WWE Superstars alike. Now, the hip-hop hero brings his action-packed mixture of mayhem and mischief back to WWE's flagship show. Brooklyn, Brooklyn!

08. Kelly Kelly
One of the most beautiful Divas in WWE, Kelly Kelly has proven herself to be just as awe-inspiring since journeying to SmackDown. And now that she is returning to Raw to challenge all comers with her devastating K-2 legdrop and endless spirit, could a Divas Championship be in the blonde bombshell's future?

09. Jack Swagger
A former World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger has recently split his time between training the outspoken Michael Cole and delivering merciless devastation in the squared circle. It remains to be seen what will happen when The All-American American brings his vicious nature and his dreaded ankle lock to Monday Night Raw.

10. John Cena
In one unprecedented night, the entire WWE Universe witnessed John Cena move from Raw to SmackDown and back to Raw again.

11. Alberto Del Rio
After leaving his elitist mark all over on SmackDown, the ultimate Superstar of destiny makes his way to WWE's flagship show.

12. Big Show
He’s The World’s Largest Athlete and one of the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions along with Kane. Certainly, the entire Raw locker room took notice when it was announced this dominating force is coming to Monday nights.

13. Rey Mysterio
With one of the most impressive championship resumes in all of WWE, Rey Mysterio is a major force to be reckoned with. The Master of the 619 is sure to make an impact when he soars onto Raw.

SmackDown Got:


01. Sheamus
It’s hard to name a Superstar who rose through the ranks as quickly as former WWE Champion Sheamus. The current reigning United States Champion and 2010 King of the Ring will certainly change the entire SmackDown landscape. Whoever crosses his path better be prepared for a fight.

02. Alex Riley
In perhaps the most stunning move of the WWE Draft, Alex Riley is leaving the side of WWE Champion The Miz and heading to Friday nights. How might this move affect Miz’s Triple Threat Match at Extreme Rules? And, will Riley continue on as Miz’s Vice President of Corporate Communications? Regardless of what the future holds, The Miz has certainly brought the young Superstar along for one awesome ride.

03. Tamina
Carrying on the high-flying legacy of her father, WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Tamina has a penchant for climbing the turnbuckle and punishing her opponents with the type of dazzling aerial offense her dad made famous. Who or what will she set her sights on in 2011?

04. Tyson Kidd
If you've been watching the current season of WWE Tough Enough, you’ve received a glimpse of the training and dedication it takes to become a WWE Superstar. Having trained in the legendary Hart Family Dungeon, Tyson Kidd received the skills he needed to become a Unified Tag Team Champion and a WWE Tag Team Champion. Certainly if anyone is poised for singles success, it is Kidd.

05. Ted DiBiase
It is harder to find a Superstar with a richer past. Not only is Ted DiBiase the son of WWE Hall of Famer "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, but he is the grandson of "Iron" Mike DiBiase. Expectations are high for this young man. His list of accomplishments already includes winning the World Tag Team Championship and starring in The Marine 2. Is 2011 the year DiBiase finally claims a singles championship?

06. Jey Uso
Jey Uso’s bloodline includes such in-ring legends as his father Rikishi, great uncles The Wild Samoans and multi-time WWE Champion The Rock. With twin brother Jimmy also coming to Friday nights, the SmackDown landscape has changed dramatically.

07. Natalya
Trained in the legendary Hart Family Dungeon, the extremely talented third-generation Diva has carried on her family's legacy with grace, style and painful precision. Now, the pink and black Diva brings the Sharpshooter back to SmackDown, ready to give the competition a full dose of Hart.

08. Yoshi Tatsu
A favorite of the WWE Universe, the gifted Japanese performer proudly carries the full spirit of the Land of the Rising Sun as he competes with WWE's ring warriors around the globe. Showing off his extraordinary kicks and exciting style, Tatsu leaps into the explosive world of SmackDown ready to make some noise.

09. William Regal
Besides being a highly decorated Superstar, the distinguished battler from Blackpool, England, has truly established himself as one of WWE's most sadistic grapplers, taking great pleasure in torturing his adversaries with stiff strikes and brutal submission holds. SmackDown just got a lot more painful.

10. Alicia Fox
As if SmackDown wasn't stunning enough, it is about to receive A-Fox. With a reign as Divas Champion and an overabundance of confidence, this elegant beauty has showed – without a doubt – that she has what it takes to make SmackDown sizzle.

11. Jimmy Uso
Coming from a long line of Samoan Superstars, which includes WWE Hall of Famers The Wild Samoans, his father Rikishi and even multi-time WWE Champion The Rock, Jimmy Uso and his twin brother Jey have wreaked havoc during their short time in WWE. Now, he makes his way to SmackDown, the perfect place for this electrifying Superstar to move to next.

12. The Great Khali
Any Superstar hoping to make it in WWE must move mountains. But, who will dare try to budge Friday Night's international tower of turbulence The Great Khali? The enormous Superstar returns to SmackDown ready to lay to Punjabi Plunge on any Superstar with enough guts to get in the ring with him.

13. Daniel Bryan
With a United States Championship reign to his credit, the dynamic Superstar with absolute heart and the full-backing of the WWE Universe charges headlong into SmackDown. Armed with the devastating LeBell Lock and a fierce thirst for competition, Bryan promises to be a dangerous addition to Friday night.


14. Sin Cara
After premiering on Monday Night Raw, Sin Cara descends on Friday nights, where his incredible arsenal of jaw-dropping maneuvers is sure to help him rise to the top of his game.

15. Mark Henry
The entire SmackDown roster braces itself as it is announced that The World's Strongest Man is going blue.

16. Randy Orton
As one of the most dangerous Superstars in WWE, Randy Orton has torn through many opponents on Raw. Now, he brings his style of fighting to the blue brand. Who dares cross paths with The Viper?
