Wrestling 10/11

Zman's Wrestling Top 10 for 10/11

1. Great ladder match last Sunday between HBK and Chris Jericho. With so many ladder matches recently, innovative spots are hard to come by. The way they had a tug of war with the belt while still entangled on the hook was pretty cool and something new for me anyways. I disapprove though of Michaels wrecking Cade the next night. That should have been his next feud, not a one night steel chair beatdown.

2. Interesting comment this week by Team 3D. In so many words, they said for the monster's ball match, they would be bringing back flaming tables. My guess is that the monster Abyss goes through it, with Team 3D capturing the tag belts.

3. Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) just got suspended for breaking the wellness policy. HA! This reminds me of two things. First is when DH Smith was called up to RAW just to be sent straight back to developmental for breaking the wellness policy, even though he app broke the policy weeks before. Second it reminds me of a guy with a similar physique who constantly flexed and found his way out of a job...Chris Masters.

4. I might be in the minority, but I kind of like this Khali-Knoxville feud. Fantasy booking alert! This monday, Knoxville issues Khali a Cyber Sunday challenge. The fans can pick anyone from the Jackass clan to face Khali at the PPV. This builds up to the blowoff of the feud at Survivor Series, with Knoxville, Bam, Steve-O, Dunn, and Pontius vs Khali, JBL, Regal, Swagger, and a returning Samoan Bulldozer.

5. Let me throw one more potential Survivor Series match out there, since it's one of my favorite PPV's of the year. Punk, Kofi, Bourne, and Cryme Time vs Orton, Rhodes, Dibiase, Miz, and Morrison.

6. Quick question for TNA. What is the main show of the year...ie their Wrestlemania? Is it Bound for Glory or Slammiversary? Just confused since they hype them both like it is their biggest show of the year.

7. Bound for Glory predictions - Joe over Sting with Joe turning heel at the end, Angle over Jarrett, Christian over Booker/AJ, Team 3D for Monster's Ball, Rhino's team for Bimbo Brawl, Roxxi over Kong/Wilde, Creed over Bashir, and Jay Lethal in Steel Asylum.

8. I spoke a little while back about wanting to see Nigel/Danielson make the leap to the WWE or TNA. Well same now goes for the Briscoes. I doubt WWE would know how to use them though, and if they do break up LAX, the Briscoes would be a welcome addition.

9. The new method of Cyber Sunday voting sucks. Cyber = internet/computer. It's not called "Texting Sunday." You're alienating those outside the US and charging people to vote? Bad move by the WWE.

10. Youtube clip of the week. Previously I've shown a Chris Harris shoot, a cross ring superkick, Rikishi messing up twice, and Lashley in Japan. This clip is my favorite NWO clip when they ran roughshed over the whole company. Enjoy
