I have a backlog of reviews so I will be getting caught up in the coming days on IWA reviews since I'm trying to work through all the stuff I have.  Lets start with some KOTDM.

11/6/06
I only watched the first half of this but the punk Knox match was good, I'd go 6/10
That being said Punk needs to put some weight on if he is going to be the guy to move up from ECW and become a super star. He has what it takes he just needs the look. Other than that..it makes me a little sad to see Paul out there and watch him talk up his show as if it's anything other than another WWE product. Since they aren't even performing anywhere other than Smackdown tapings it doesn't even look like anything but a WWE show. I'll update this again when I finish the rest of the show
later.
Update:
Guido vs. Daivari
OK little match though it all seems so smackdowny. 3.5/10

Tommy Dreamer vs. Test
Elimination Chamber Qualifier.
Decent little back and forth match until Test gets a low blow and then finishes off Dreamer.
Test moves on to the Elimination Chamber
4/10

Show & Heyman vs Bob Holly & RVD
Show sqaushes RVD to start. They have a bad spot where RVD is having to call Show over to keep him from tagging. Tthats pretty much the whole match, heymen never gets in and when RVD tags Holly, holly turns on RVD...Thanks guys ...great main event.
2/10
Well evidently I have not been missing much with ECW.
later

Yes this account still exists. I'm going to try and get more people reading it too.
anyway just downloaded Cyber Sunday. Have not been keeping up on vinny's Monday night show so I’m going in completely cold.

Ugama vs??
well the choice is Kane, Benoit, Sandman...Kane is the least interesting of these match ups so lets go with that one. Punch kick chock fest until Jo..I mean Ugama gets a belly to belly. He does his couple of offensive moves before there is more chocking and punching. Not much happens till Ugama gets a flying headbutt off the ropes. That only gets two so gives him some knees to the face. SO I admit i'm out of the loop but are people actually into this guy? He somoa spikes the post and Kane makes a comeback. Kane pounds away on Ugama for awhile and the crowd seems into it but Kane goes for the choke slam and Ugama fights out. Kane goes off the top and Ugama catches him with a spike..gives him another spike and beats Kane. Here is another Question: does Kane ever win?
2.2/10
Not a good opener …this was an average raw match.

Cryme Tyme vs. Charlie Hass and Viscera vs. West Texas Rednexx vs the Highlanders
This is my first time seeing Cryme Tyme. All the men are in at the same time so ..I’m not covering this. Cryme Tyme gets the victory over the highlanders. I was digging CT vs. Hass but that lasted all of 30 seconds. This was nonstop brawling so at least it wasn’t boring.
3/10

HBK freaking out over not being controversial enough got a laugh out of me. “see I just kicked Stan!”

IC title Match Jeff Hardy vs. ??
Carlito …huh..I actually liked all 3 options.
This is also my first hardy match since his return. We go all Ring of Honor to start with a handshake. The start off with a lot of back and forth chain wrestling but they screw up…something going for a leap frog. Carlito then takes out the knee and starts to work over Jeff. After awhile Jeff his the highflying stuff and when Jeff goes for the running the rails move Carlito catches him with a drop kick. Ha…JR says that these stars best days are ahead of them….Jeff Hardy? Yea him and Sean Waltman are young go-getters that have their best days ahead of them. This was a pretty good match in the beginning but got way to rest holdy in the middle. Jeff hit a SICK X-Factor…speaking of Waltman. Jeff went for the Swanton and got knees to the back but Carlito only got 2. Carlito only gets another 2 from his springboard moves. Hardy gets a two himself with…..whisper in the wind….sigh. Carltio missed a top rope hurricanerana and Jeff hits the Swanton for the win.
Winner and IC champ Jeff Hardy.
6/10
This was decent but nothing spectacular and too many rest holds.

Dx vs. RKO and Edge
So I crapped out on recapping but this was a pretty hot match with the expected amount of overbooking for HBK and HHH to lose. Orton hit HHH with a chair shot and an RKO on a chair infront of special ref Eric Bishoff.
Winners EDGE RKO. 6.8/10

Lita vs Mickie for the Women’s Title in a diva lumberjack match.
Mickie gets beat by the hell lumberjacks lita gets beat by the face lumberjacks. Wow..someone thought it would be a good idea to have the ring surrounded by screaming women the whole time…..yikes I’m getting a headache. Someone gave this match way to long. Mickie tries and all but Lita is pretty hopeless at this point. After more crap Lita gets the win with a pretty sick DDT.

Flair & ?? vs. spirit squad
his partner is of course Hot Rod
one word about Piper....AHHHHH MY EYES GOOD LORD MY EYES. It's...like watching my dad wrestle. Flair and piper win after flair gets the figure 4 on mikey. There really isn't much to say as it was just there and as for piper he was..there ...and over here...and ...around the corner..
2/10
Crowd popped big time though

The King makes a proposition to Cena, get rid of the giant and then we have it out. Cena agrees on one condition. One night with the queen. The queen freaks out but booker calms here and asks her to leave and he'll handle it...Booker agrees. This was the funniest thing on the show and got a pretty good laugh out of me.

King Booker vs. Big Show vs. John Cena for the World Title
Let me start off by saying that they put a belt on Booker about 3 years too late for him to be a major draw however I love King Booker. Yes its cheesey but he doesn't play it that way. Booker plays the role totaly straight and with the conviction that a William Regal would play the role. He makes it a brilliant performance. The match however is only fair. They over do the three way format to the point where its a joke. All three men only spend a few minutes in the ring together as one is pretty much always hurt outside the ring. Not a terrible match but also didn't feel like a main event either. Then Kevin F-N Federline came down to the ring and cost Cena the match. If wrestling fans didn't have enough to feel dumb about..Seeing "K-Fed" play a role in the main event didn't help any. I have know idea what they could be thinking. I mean I guess Vince is that desperate for exposure. It seems to me that if you actually put on good wrestling with engaging storylines that you will win your fanbase back and can grow from there back into the mainstream. But I guess Vince figures putting the only guy that rivals Tom Cruise as biggest joke in pop culture is the way to go. It's not even been a month since this PPV and with the divorce this already looks like 10 times the mistake it was at the time of the show. BTW (IT WAS A STUPID IDEA THEN TOO)
I'll ignore Kevy and give the match 5/10 With K-fucked its more like a 2
Winner King Booker.

Overall:
Wow...this was a rough start for getting back into the game. IF this is as good as wrestling is these days I may want to re-think this.
This was a definite thumbs down with what comes out to be about a 3 star match as the best match on the show your not missing a darn thing.

Cena vs. HHH Will be the ususal slow borring HHH win **

Kurt vs. Orton vs. Mysterio Should be a great match *** 1/2 - ****

Vince McMahon vs. HBK Should be entertaining crap ***

Edge vs. Foley Hopefully a really good match ***1/2-****

Money in the bank Shelton should steal the show again but I doubt it will live up to the first ***

Taker vs. Mark Henry Unwatchable negative ***

Benoit vs. JBL This could go either way it will either be ** or if they are both feeling it and able to have a good brawl it could be a much better match. MY guess would be two stars.

Kane & Bigshow vs. Masters & Carlito *, shold be pretty bad

Trish vs Mickie This has been the best fued they've had for awhile and they had the best match at armagedon. ***

Boogeyman vs Booker haven't seen much boogeyman but i'll guess *

Torrie vs Candice pillow fight Negative two stars.

Boy when I break it down that way I must say it sounds pretty good. However several of those matches could easily not live up to the hype. I guess we will see.

From Smackdown's spoilers "Rey talks a little more and out comes Randy Orton. Randy got a mixed reaction from the crowd. Orton says that what happened in the Rumble doesn't mean anything because Rey can't beat him in a normal match. He also challenges Rey for his title shot at No Way Out. He says that it wasn't divine intervention because Eddie wasn't watching him from up there. Eddie was watching him from hell. "

I'm making my vow...if Rey doesn't go to mania after something like that, I'm not watching mania...and I don't know when I'll watch WWE again.

More youtube goodness.
this is from IWA midsouth. Rey before WWE and Eddie before his second WWE run. It was not really fair to this match to watch it after the last one but it's still a really good solid match. They had some great spots but it was a little on the short side and not nearly the build that the TNA three way had.

Winner Eddie
7.5/10

I swear I could watch these 3 in some combination all day. These guys rally know how to work an exciting match that is hot from start to finish withoutrunning out of stuff to keepthe match building.

Winner AJ
great great match 8.5/10

I'm going to post ratings and thoughts on matches I watch and add the links on here for all to enjoy. I think this will be alot of TNA stuff. BTW HBK vs Shelton was an 8/10

9.5/10

I can't give this a full 10 because of some of joes standing around and the finish did not thrill me but everything else was pure gold.

http://www.youtube.com/w/WWE-RAW-HBK-vs-Shelton-Benjamin?v=UfiZhg83BZM&search=wwe
HBK vs. Moma's little boy was pretty good. Not match of the year but great free tv match.

and something for Jon
