'And that is how you mark out over text message.' -28 September '10

One half of 'Oh My...' has travelled off to University. She asked me to send her (very brief) summary text messages as to what happened on last week's Smackdown and iMPACT! Smackdown's went something like this:

Smackdown update Number 1: Kane had a match with Chris 'I was on Big Time Rush' Masters. It was OK. Kane did a dropkick and eventually won. Then Kane had a rant about the Undertaker and made this little kid very uncomfortable.

2: Dashing and Drew had a match against the Hart Dynasty, which was very good. Then it showed Taker sitting on some steps. It then showed Mexican JBL 'hurting' Christian's pectoral muscle backstage. Next, it was a 'From the Vault' of Chris Jericho with his old entrance and his 2008 Y2J character. It made me cry a little.

3: Luke Gallows has had a bit of a shave!

4: CM Punk had a go at Luke Gallows. Luke then strangled CM Punk and told him he was going to have a beer when he won his match against him later on. (Does this mean he can grow his hair back now he has turned on Punk? I hope not.) Kaval and Chavo had a match with lots of flippity flips, Chavo won. Taker then did one of his, 'In the United Kingdom this November, I will go against...' but unfortunately he didn't mention 'Shef-field' this time.

5: Mexican JBL then did a promo on how he beat up Rey and Christian and how Rey is back next week. Christian then came in and beat him up for a bit. But then MexJBL hurt Christian's arm again. Bye bye Christian. Then it showed Taker sat on the steps again.

6. Big Show vs Hawkins and Archer. Hawkins tapped out to a camel clutch, then I was sick in my mouth when I looked at Vance Archer's tattoos. (Come on Vance, wear some tights!) CM Punk came out (with new boots on may I add) to go against Luke Gallows. Punk won with a GTS. Then it showed Taker sitting on some steps. Again.

7. Vickie G then came out and excused herself a bit. Dolph vs MVP. Kaitlyn then pushed Vickie over after fighting over Dolph. LOLOLOLOL. Dolph walked out and got counted out. Then it showed Taker, have a guess... Sitting on some steps again. But this time, he sees someone! I wonder who...

8. Kane is out. Tense music comes on, he starts rambling on about demons and hell again. Many minutes pass. He did say something about Creatures of the Night, but unfortunately I don't think he was referencing Jeff Hardy... Taker's strange druid men come out with a coffin. NO WAY. PAUL BEARER IS IN IT. OMG. HE HAS AN URN. TAKER IS COMING OUT. HIM AND PAUL ARE NOW IN THE RING. TAKER IS FINE AGAIN. HE IS BEATING UP KANE. Kane runs away. Then they do that thing where Taker blobs his tongue out to the urn. Sdown is over.

And that is how you mark out over text message.

Underrated Wrestlers, our pick. '...why does he not have a title?' - 6th September '10

Underrated. A word that gets used a lot throughout the pro-wrestling community. So we thought that we would share with our massive audience of zero followers who we thought deserved a little bit more.


Zack Ryder.
Poor Zack, a swift kick to the face from Sheamus and that was the end of his first World Title match. As you can tell we love Zack, his hair, his tan, his catchphrase. But WWE seem to be putting him on the back burner recently. He had a very good match on RAW before the Fatal Four Way PPV, but apart from the mentioned incident with Sheamus, he has not really been used all that much. Come on WWE, you have a young, healthy, good wrestler with one of the best characters to get heel heat. Use him please! (Preferably in more matches with Evan Bourne.)


Christian.
The veteran who has never really had a chance. Many think that Christian's lack of title matches is because he spent quite a while in TNA and Vince is punishing him. Really Vince? Christian is a entertaining wrestler who knows what he is doing. Plus, he is a fan favourite. Get Edge back on Smackdown and put him in a feud with Christian immediately!


Matt Hardy.
We have been Hardy Boyz fans since the start and Matt has never once had a World Title in all these years. We know that nowadays Matt is a little on the round side, (Fat Matt, Husky Hardy, you know what we mean.) but he is still very capable. He is another fan favourite who always gets a loud ovation so why does he not have a title?


Cody Rhodes.
DASHING. We love this man with his eyebrow combing and his gleaming smile, but it seems that although he is on Smackdown every week, a title opportunity hasn't come his way in a while. I think he would be a great IC Champ and he is one of the best heels the company has. He is only young, so hopefully the future holds bright things for Cody.

William Regal, Gail Kim, Goldust and the Dudebusters all get mentions too.

Summerslam Part 3. 'His facial hair looks abysmal.' - 6th September '10

We had mixed emotions about the main event of Summerslam 2010, mostly the fear of being disappointed. The mystery member of Team WWE had still not been announced and we thought that it would probably be Mark Henry (It always is, isn't it?). But to our surprise, The Miz decided that he would take the spot. Ok, that isn't too bad.

Just when we got comfortable in our seats to watch the match, John Cena decides to say that Miz was too late and he has already found someone. Hence, both of us literally on the edge of our seats, feeling sick with anticipation...

Cena: "Well, sorry Miz but you are too late. You see, we have been looking all over for another member and we have already found one."
Miz: "Who? Who could possibly be more awesome than me?"
Cena: "Good question, but maybe there is somebody. Somebody with millions...and millions of fans."

Miz: "So, who are you going to get? Lady Gaga? The Jonas Brothers?"
Cena: "Sadly, no. We have got this man..."

-"IF YOU SMELLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN'."


And then I woke up.


There was no Rock. But there was a huge surprise that it was Daniel Bryan that showed up. We are not the biggest fans of his here at 'Oh My...' but we applauded WWE on an actual surprise. Unfortunately, there are three things wrong with Daniel Bryan being the mystery member.



1. Nobody mentioned that he had any bad feelings towards the Nexus. Last time we saw him, he was working with them. Confusing, yes.

2. He spat in Cena's face, now they are acting like best buddies.

3. His facial hair looks abysmal.


The actual match was very good, since this was basically professionals against rookies. It eventually got down to John Cena and Wade Barrett. We were hoping that Wade would pull this one out of the bag because Nexus had dominated nearly everyone on the roster. We were mistaken, Wade the 6'5'', bare knuckle fighting Mancunian tapped out to Cena.


Overall, this PPV was worth staying up until 4 in the morning for. Roll on Summerslam 2011.
