It’s the last WWE PPV of the year… man, what a sour note to end the year on. The Nexus, what could have been a hot thing in WWE, is all but buried, you have Miz as WWE Champion, and John Cena is still a thing. My hopes aren’t high for this TLC show, so let’s see if I can “just be a fan” and enjoy the show.

WWE Survivor Series 2010
Sooner than later…
Think he’s gone for a good long while? Think again…
Gotta sell that merch, after all…
Anyway, some thoughts on the card.
WWE Bragging Rights 2010
WWE Hell In A Cell 2010
Well, two weeks after their incredibly “okay” Night of Champions PPV, World Wrestling Entertainment presents its first of two October PPVs, Hell In A Cell. Are you one of the lucky suckers… er, I mean, customers who paid fifty to sixty bucks on a PPV comprising a whole FIVE MATCHES? Boy, that’s a real bang for your buck. No wonder people aren’t forking over their hard-earned money to buy WWE Pay-Per-Views.
Anyways… let’s get to the goods.
WWE Night Of Champions 2010
It’s the Night Of Champions! Where all the championships are on the line! And there’s a couple other matches on the card too.
TNA No Surrender 2010
So it’s another TNA PPV… and outside of the RAW Byte post for tomorrow’s show, no more wrestling-related posts for the rest of the week. Seems like that was all I talked about this past week here. Anyway, here are the results:
WWE Fatal-4-Way 2010
Tonight’s WWE Fatal Four Way Pay-Per-View is brought to you by the letter F, the letter A, the letter I, and the letter L. What do those letters spell? F.A.I.L.
Because when you’re running low of stupid gimmick PPVs, you do one after a match where four guys fight each other for a pin… or to be more realistic, two guys fight while the other two pretend to be incapacitated until it’s their turn to do stuff. Fatal 4-Ways are often a lazy attempt to get as many guys (or gals) in a match as possible and trying to make them interesting has been a tall order.
Spoiler alert: This didn’t get the job done.
Besides that, the only thing that is remotely worth a damn is to catch for whatever follow-up to the NXT invasion bit might come up, even if the shine has since been dulled. I mean, seriously; Bryan Danielson or no Bryan Danielson, WWE had a goldmine with this thing and not even a week later, in the first segment no less, they fucked it up. They’re going to need to do something BIG in order to recover from that.
(Spoiler alert from the future: They never did.)
But enough about FAIL. Let’s talk about the PPV and discuss the matches:
TNA Slammiversary VIII (2010)
Eight years ago, Total Nonstop Action held its first weekly PPV show, featuring human dicks, gauntlet battle royals for the NWA World title, country singers doing songs, and the epic feud between Jeff Jarrett and elderly statesman Bob Armstrong. How far we’ve gone since then? Now we’re feuding over WWE Hall of Fame rings while the TNA titles are mere afterthoughts. Amazing.
WWE Over The Limit 2010
HEY KIDS! We’re going Over The Limit! YAAY!
Nope, not doing it for me.
So on the eleventh anniversary of Owen Hart’s accidental passing (and no acknowledgement is made of this fact… possibly due to upsetting the widow), WWE held a PPV in Detroit with one of the lamest names ever… oh wait, the next one is called Fatal 4-Way, isn’t it? Aw shit.
Oh well, let’s get on with it, then.
TNA Sacrifice 2010
WARNING: Steve Austin is nowhere to be found on this PPV. Quite frankly, not even he could save this pile of shit.
It’s TNA Sacrifice. The first PPV of the new age where Impact sees a return to Thursdays after being humbled and tapping out (and they can sugar-coat it any way they want, but that is the case) and the tag champs are Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. What a pile of shit. Fuck you, TNA.
Okay, okay. Let’s get this over with. I have more notes that this pile of shit show deserves.
