WADE BARRETT AND DREW MCINTYRE WON'T BE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW

Wade Barrett, leader of RAW’s Nexus stable, has been pulled from WWE TV and live events because his work visa has expired and he’s no longer eligible to work in the United States. Barrett has returned to the UK where he’s waiting on a new visa to be cleared.


Drew McIntyre is going through the same problems. You may remember from SmackDown where WWE started a storyline saying Drew was being deported. This isn’t far from real life but it’s possible that McIntyre is still here in the States. Regardless, he’s also unable to work right now. If McIntyre is still here, it’s possible that he can stay while a green card application is approved since he’s married to WWE Diva Tiffany.


There’s no timetable yet on when Barrett or McIntyre can return.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT FOR BRET HART

Bret Hart on his Facebook page:
As far as the recent lawsuit filed by Martha, I’m working on a detailed response that I will post soon, but I think my fans might be a little surprised at my take on things. Aside from that, I know that the WWE Universe is more than curious to know what my status is anymore and the truth is nobody knows, including me. There are a lot rumors out there about me and all I can say is that they’re rarely true. I will have some major announcements forthcoming, but right now I’m going to keep the lid on things because I’m not looking for any distractions.

STRAIGHT EDGE REVIEW OF FATAL 4 WAY MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

Randy orton and Edge wre busy fighting with each other.... as if they dnt cared abt the title.. overall i loved that match it was gd n a interesting 2 .... but in this PPV i could see a alot of interference in other matches 2..
my rating for this match would be 7/10...

THE VIPER'S REVIEW : FATAL 4 WAY 2010

Sent By Our Owner : Urvish Desai
Match :- koffi vs. drew for IC championship


overall it was decent match. drew has upper hand in match most of time.
still kofi won for crowd. matt came from nowhere and gave twist of fate to drew when teddy long was acting as a ref. still nothing happened so it was looked clear that drew lost his opportunity to win IC belt due to rivalry with teddy long. koffi's both finisher rocked in a match. though he fight well in middle of the match in starting he was just jumping like a monkey.

my rate for match 5/10 as it wasn't interesting match who can hold me on sit till it ends


y2j vs evan bourne


by far the best match of night.
hats of to y2j he is only who can give best matches with mid carders or new comers. evan what to say abt this boy he deserves to b in this kind of matches. this match had lot of ups and downs. it wasn't on sided match both player has upper hands in match. evan bourne tried for air bourne and stand on feet was just dame good. in the end 2 times he was stopped by y2j to do his finisher but in the end boi hit it on back of y2j and won the match.

i m afraid for 1 thing

if bourne goes to main event than can other main eventers r able to lift up matches on high level as y2j lift with him


i hope they can





my rate for this match 9/10


b4 a match y2j cut a fucking nice promo.


in whole match ppl cheered for y2j and in the end when bourne won ppl cheered for him also

this proves that still understood ppl and smarks seeing wwe.


fatal 4 way match for whc title
Rey Mysterio vs Jack Swagger vs C.M Punk vs Big Show


short but still boring match of the night. ppl say rey deserves to win world title but in this match he haven't performed that he shd given title. other 3 were far better than him in this match.

if they seriouly wants to give title to rey than better they given it to him than better they gave him when he has short feud with Undertaker

SMACKDOWN REPORT 6/25

We start off tonight’s show with General Manager Teddy Long and Consultant to Smackdown Vickie Guerrero in Teddy’s office. Teddy mentions that it has been a whirlwind week in the WWE. Three new champions were crowned at the Fatal Four Way pay per view, including Rey Mysterio. In four weeks, Rey will be defending his title at the brand new Money in the Bank pay per view. Vickie says that over the next two weeks, they will be evaluating all of the Smackdown superstars to decide which eight men will be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Teddy says that they will all try to climb the ladder to get the briefcase above the ring. The briefcase will have a contract that allows the winner to have a title match against the Smackdown champion at any point in the next year. Vickie mentions the vicious attack that Vince McMahon suffered and he was rendered incapacitated.

Drew McIntyre comes in and interrupts Teddy. He wants to know why Teddy is so happy and he wants him to wipe the smile off his face. Drew says that he humiliated Teddy last week and humbled him. Drew says that he will tell Vince about Teddy’s officiating at the pay per view as well as his lack of concern for the chairman.

Teddy says that he met with the Board of Directors that based on the absence of Vince McMahon, he can run the show however he feels appropriate. Teddy says that he is reinstating Matt Hardy. Drew says that Teddy can’t do it. Teddy says that he can do it and Matt will be facing Drew tonight. Teddy tells Drew to take his Scottish accent and the sour look on his face and get out of his office. Vickie tells Drew to leave and Drew finally exits.

We are live on tape from Manchester, New Hampshire and your announcers are Matt ‘What did I ever do to deserve getting my butt kicked the last two weeks’ Striker and Todd ‘How much time do you have’ Grisham.

Before our opening match, Jack Swagger has something to say on his way to the ring. Jack tells everyone to know that he is filing a formal protest against the WWE. He says that he is protesting that he has to fight a 500 pound giant right now. He is also protesting that he had to defend his title in a Fatal Four Way match. It is a match that is so lawless and so unpredictable that it is impossible for a natural athlete like himself to come out victorious. There were no rules in place to protect him or the World Title. When Kane came out and cost him the World Title, he was cheated out of the World Title. Jack says that he is invoking his rematch clause at Money in the Bank and he says that he is confident that he will come out victorious because his daddy taught him that cheaters never win and winners never cheat. Until then, he is going to make everyone suffer. Suffer the way that he suffered on Sunday. Suffer the way that his daddy suffered on Father’s Day.

He’s also left his mark on the entertainment industry outside the ring, from his band Fozzy, writing a NY Times bestselling autobiography, through his appearances on VH-1′s “I Love…” shows and his role in the hit film “Magruber”. But his most famous moments are in sports entertainment, where Jericho has won multiple championships, including the WWE, World Heavyweight, a record number of Intercontinental titles, and the night when he defeated both the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the first ever WWE Unified Champion. But Chris Jericho has never had his remarkable career highlighted in a DVD set until now. This 3-disc release will include a never-before-seen documentary on the life and times of Jericho featuring new candid interviews with Jericho and his rivals, as well as more than a dozen of his greatest matches.

The top stars from RAW have been told they will be used at the tapings that night. It’s possible WWE is beefing up the tapings that night because it’s in Atlanta, the home of WrestleMania 27

SMACKDOWN SPOILER /25

* Smackdown opened with Smackdown GM Teddy Long and Vickie Guerrero on the video screen. Long said it’s been a whirlwind couple of he weeks. Long then explained an eight-man Money in the Bank concept match for the next PPV. He said the winner can cash it in for a World Title match.


Vickie spoke, but the crowd was so loud that I couldn’t hear what she said. Drew McIntyre then stepped in and threatened Teddy Long. Long tells Drew that he has full power over the show. Long then re-instated Matt Hardy and booked Hardy vs. McIntyre for tonight.


* The Smackdown intro aired and pyro went off. Big Show comes to the ring as they showed that Kane vs. C.M. Punk has been booked for a No DQ match tonight.


Jack Swagger came out on the ramp and said he’s protesting how WWE treated him at the Fatal Four-Way PPV. He said he’s not happy about his World Title loss. And he’s cashing in his re-match against Rey Mysterio at the MITB PPV. Swagger vs. Show is next.


(1) Big Show beat Jack Swagger via DQ. Show hit a huge superplex on Swagger at the beginning of the match. Swagger eventually locked in a Kurt Angle-style anklelock and Show struggled to the ropes.

* A video package aired on the Archer/Hawkins win over Christian/MVP last week.


(2) Christian & MVP & IC champion Kofi Kingston beat Dolph Ziggler & Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins in a six-man tag match. Decent match with a few believable nearfalls. In the end, MVP and Kofi cleared out Hawkins and Archer, then Christian hit the Killswitch on Ziggler for the win to a huge pop from the live audience. Other notes: Kofi got a nice New England reaction. Also, the side opposite the hard camera is still about three-fourths full. Still seeing many scattered empty seats.

Drew eventually had Hardy on the steel steps and was about to stomp on his arm, but Hardy tripped him and Drew landed on the steps. Back in the ring, Hardy hit the Twist of Fate for the win as the crowd cjeered.


* Teddy Long then came on the video screen and said, “Drew, sorry you didn’t win the match, playa. Looks like somebody’s Visa has expired. Somebody is in the country illegally. Send Mr. McIntyre back to Scotland.” Drew is pissed. “Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye” chants begin as Drew argues with Striker and refs. Drew stood at the top of the ramp as the crowd waved and chanted, “U-S-A.”


* Cody Rhodes came out with Husky Harris to cut a promo on his good looks. He asked the crowd which Superstar is the best-looking and they showed a graphic with Rhodes winning. Who voted? Confusing. He said Harris is an average man who can’t help how he looks. Good quote from Rhodes to an audience member: “USA can literally hear you getting fatter.” Rhodes then picked on Tony Chimel before doing the “hammock pose” on the top turnbuckle ala Chris Jericho. Rhodes kept repeating how good looking he is, then he called himself “Dashing Cody Rhodes” over and over and over again.


* Vickie Guerrero was then shown on the big screen with Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler is unhappy with his relationship with her. He said he gives and gives, so now he wants a title match. “Make it happen,” he said as he left. Vickie stared at a picture of Dolph and her.
