Chewy's Favorite Monday Night Raw Moments!

What's up everybody? As we celebrate 900 episodes of Monday Night Raw i thought i'd take some time and list off some of my favorite Monday Night Raw moments! These are in no certian order.

1. D-X Apology speach - This was Classic D-X just to see them spit in the face of USA network and poke some fun at Bill Clinton.

2. Stone Cold Steve Austin Pours cement in Vince's new Corvette - This was a GREAT moment in raw history that only helped the Austin McMahon feud grow even greater.

3. Stone Cold bring Miller Lite Beer Truck to the ring and soaks Vince and his goons. This was just priceless especially when Vince is swimming in the pool of beer.

4. The Nexus beat down of John Cena - I think every Cena hater enjoyed this. I'm not a hater but i felt it was truly one of those GREAT moments in raw that helped develop a new stable.

5. Bret Screwed Bret - This speech helped Mr. McMahon character get his started.

6. Rock throws Stone Cold/IC title over the bridge into the river - This was one of my Favorite Rock/Austin feud moments! The battle on the bridge which ended in Austin getting thrown over the rail into the river.

7. Vince McMahon is revealed as the higher power - I recently watched some of these raw's not to long ago and this story line with Taker going around Sacrificing people was just AWESOME!

8. The Hart Foundation reunites - This was a really cool moment, it helped turned Bret heel and reunited the family.

9. D-X invades the production truck during raw and Vince's speech - This was just funnier then hell, just watching these two goof around with all the buttons during Vince's promo was good T.V.

10. D-X invades WCW - This is just CLASSIC, when people think Monday Night Wars this is one of those moments people think about.

11. Vince McMahon's Limo explodes with him inside - This was a GREAT raw moment, sadly due to certain events we weren't able to see this story unfold.

12. The NWO comes to the WWE - This was a cool thing i thought, It was great to see Hogan back in the WWE at the time and Nash and Hall were still in decent shape to.

13. The Rock challenges Hulk Hogan to a match at Wrestlemania - Talk about an epic meeting between to of the businesses GREATEST superstars.

14. HBK Retirement speech - I know if i would of been in that building on that night i would of cried like a baby.

15. HBK and Bret Hart bury the hatchet - This was one of those moments we thought we would NEVER see, I guess now I can truly believe the phrase Never say Never, This promo between them felt so real and so heart felt, truly awesome moment.

16. Ric Flair Retirement - This was the perfect way for WWE to send Flair out, it was truly a great moment, just a shame he can't stay away from the Biz.

17, Austin crushes The Rocks new car with a Monster Truck - This was another GREAT Rock/Austin moment, The fact Vince bought a car the day of just to destroy it is amazing.

18. Kurt Angle drives Milk truck into raw - Ok this was a GREAT way for Kurt to do something Austin like that totally fit his style, this was just truly funny on Kurt's part,

19. Mike Tyson/Stone Cold Steve Austin showdown! - This was one of the fist moments that launched WWE into the attitude era. Truly an epic encounter between these two.

20. The Debut of Y2J - What better way to debut then to have a promo showdown against The Rock?

These are just SOME of my favorite raw moments, hope you guys enjoyed!

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Paris Hilton,Vinyl Records,Football,Raw,Smackdown,Impact and much more.

What's up everyone? Hope you all had a great week. It's time for another weekend wrap up edition.

I woke up this morning to the news of Paris Hilton getting arrested for possession of crack, like a great person i am i just laughed.

Finally this week i will be getting my long awaited Blink-182 self-titled record in vinyl! Collecting vinyl records is fun....i just need a vinyl player haha.

High School football started last night/this weekend for many states, nothing better then finally getting some football in our highlights!!

I've seen a few different articles predicting my hawkeyes will go undefeated...I REALLY hate articles like these i REALLY do.

My chiefs should of beat the eagles last night.....blew it on a hail mary pass with 20 seconds left..frustrating.

UFC 118 is tonight, I cheering for Coture to win by KO over Toney. We'll have picks on the blog before the PPV.

Now let's get to wrestling.

Raw celebrates 900 episodes this week!! There have been rumors of a new logo debuting...if it' the one i saw awhile back it's fn UGLY.

I will be interested to see what past superstars make an appearance.

Anyone else enjoying The Miz/Danielson feud?

I just wish Michael Cole would get his head out of The Miz's ass. He's been kind of an asshole to listen to lately even to the good guys.

I said it last week and i'll say it again Kaval wins NXT tuesday night, i suggest you go vote for him (not like it matters though)

Does anyone else find it hard to watch smackdown! knowing it's taped?

I also feel the same way when they tape Raw, it's just hard to watch.

Word going around the web is Triple H had another baby girl this past week. That's three girls for him and steph. Congrats Hunter! I wonder if any will become wrestlers?

Speaking of Hunter and Stephanie their dad/dad-inlaw celebrated his 65th birthday, i don't think he has any plans to retire anytime soon.

Sad to hear about the passing of Luna Vachon yesterday, RIP Luna.

You can't help but feel bad for ROH right now. They're loosing way to much talent at once.

I did like how their owner sent out an e-mail message on their website to address their fans.

I hope Tyler Black does well in WWE the guy deserves it. Also gotta cheer on my fellow Iowan.

Does anyone else find Dixie Carter to be REALLY attractive?

Pretty excited TNA is coming to Iowa for a house show. I rag on TNA a lot but I've heard their house shows are amazing and can't wait!

I'm not excited at all about their final four competitors in their championship tourny.

We all know Angle is gunna win so why bother with it?

Well that does it for another edition of the weekend wrap up.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up : Talking Ghost Hunters, Roseanne,NCAA,Summerslam,Impact and More!

What's up everybody?! It's Saturday which means it's time for another edition of The Weekend Wrap Up!

One of my favorite shows Ghost Hunters returns Wednesday with an all new season. Anyone else watch?

T.V. Land shows a lot of Roseanne, how great is that show?

The AP pre-season poll came out today and my Hawkeye's are ranked 9th! only 14 days away!!

My cubs are so horrible I've decided to cheer for the Twins the rest of the season.

Ok now time for wrestling

How awesome was Bryan Danielson's return at Summerslam? Sadly that was the best part of the whole show.

Kudos to WWE for letting Danielson continue to do his committed indy bookings!

The Undertakers return was not done very well, as many times as that casket opened it was almost expected.

I didn't like how they made Cena look like Superman after taking that DDT on the floor.

One of these years Cena will turn heel.

With the injury to nexus member Skip Shefield could this be a perfect time to bring up Husky Harris to the group? I think he'd make a perfect fit.

I'm not sure what to think of Michael Cole's new announcing style, sometimes he's just being a straight up dick.

I think Kaval will win NXT Season 2 but Riley will be a breakout star along side Miz.

I like that WWE finally unified the Tag Belts and got a new one, it has an old school look to it if you ask me.

Impact was not very good this past week imo, ratings seemed to show that.

Listening to Paul Haymen's interview this past week makes me think TNA needs him more then they need Russo,Hogan, or Bischoff.

I think TNA could REALLY benefit from Haymen.

Makes me wonder what TNA's long term goal actually is.

They can't stay at a 1.0 rating forever.

Well that does it for another edition of the Weekend Wrap up!

WWE Summerslam Predictions!!!

What's up everyone? Time for another Pay Per View so that means we are here with our Summerslam Picks!!!

Chewys Picks

1. Sheamus V.S. Randy Orton for the WWE championship- My pick goes to Orton on this one. He's been to dominate lately and I think it's his time.

2. Kane V.S. Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship- I'm going with Kane on this one, It seems WWE is giving him one final run before he calls it quits. His promo work on this run has been amazing so far.

3. Team WWE V.S. Team Nexus - If The Nexus is going to stick around WWE they HAVE to win this match. I'm going with them, BUT I think someone from the WWE side will help. I think it'll be Bret Hart or John Morrison to make the heel turn.

3. Dolph Ziggler V.S. Kofi Kingston for the IC Title - As much as I like Kofi i think Dolph comes out on top.

4. Big Show V.S. Straight Edge Society - This one is a bit of a toss up for me still. But I think CM Punk and crew will come out on top in this one.

5. Alicia Fox V.S. Melina for the Womens Championship - After their showing on Raw i'm actually looking forward to this match. I'm going with Melina in this one.

Ziggy's Picks
WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Ziggy's Pick: Sheamus
World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
Ziggy's Pick: Kane
Team WWE vs. The Nexus (Elimination Tag Team Match)
Ziggy's Pick: The Nexus
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Ziggy's Pick: Dolph Ziggler
Big Show vs. The Straight Edge Society (3-on-1 Handicap Match)
Ziggy's Pick: The Straight Edge Society
Divas Champion Alicia Fox vs. Melina
Ziggy's Pick: Melina

Chewy's Weekely Top 25 WWE Super Stars!

1. Randy Orton - He moves up a spot for me, guy has done really well at trying to get this match over with the crowd going into Sunday's Pay Per View. I say he'll be the new Champion.

2. Sheamus - He moves down for me, I feel Randy's been able to get the better of him lately.

3. John Cena - Takes a HUGE jump this week, I felt he got his Raw team rallied up and ready to go for sunday.

4- The Miz - He didn't really do much this week but he offered his help to Cena and The Hitman for Sunday's Pay Per View. He stays the same for me.

5. The Big Show - He moves up for me, Yes he beat three jobbers on Smackdown! But I think in return he sent a message to The Straight Edge Society.

6. The Nexus - The fall for me, While they did a nice a job of beating up potential Raw superstars who would join the raw squad, They still ran away from the raw team making them look weak.

7. Rey Mysterio - He got a win over Dolph on Smackdown! He's ready to go for Kane come Sunday!

8. Kofi Kingston - I move Kofi up, He took all his aggression out on Dolph which lead to Teddy Long giving him a title shot. I love the aggressiveness of Kofi.

9. Melina - Again a breath of fresh air for Women's wrestling. She carried Fox in that match Monday and I didn't feel like smacking myself while watching it! Kudos!

10. Edge - He was able to put differences aside and rejoin the Raw group to seek revenge on The Nexus.

11. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes - He pulled out a nice win over Christian on Smackdown! Seems they may be trying to get him a nice singles push.

12. Chris Jericho - He made the right move and is now back on team WWE.

13. The Hart Dynasty - These guys took a beating this past week at the hands of The Nexus. They fall a spot for me.

14. Christian - He was on the verge of beating Cody but ending on the loosing end he falls a spot for me.

15. Drew McIntrye - He was able to get a nice win over Matt Hardy this past week.

16. MVP - He got back on the winning track this week with a win over former World champ Jack Swagger. He moves up for me.

17. Evan Bourne - He had a nice lil match against The Miz on Raw but came up short.

18. The Straight Edge Society - They seem very confident going into Summer Slam Sunday against The Big Show.

19. Alicia Fox - Thanks to Melina she was able to put on a nice diva's match on Monday.

20. Jack Swagger - He takes a HUGE fall for me, seems WWE can't think of what to do with this former champ.

21. Ted Dibasie & Maryse - The raw "power" couple didn't have an impact on Monday but they avoided a beat down at the hands of The Nexus.

22. Team Laycool - Sounds like they had a good showing on Superstars, Not to mention their NXT pro is No 1 in the polls.

23. The Great Kahli - He suffered a beat down by The Nexus, Will he be ready to go for Sunday?

24. Bret Hart - He's stood by team WWE the whole time, helping being a mouth piece for them.

25. Mark Henry - Another one of The Nexus's beat down victims on raw. He won't be any help for Team WWE come sunday.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Eric Bischoff's ROH Comments, TNA's Free PPV,WWE Summer Slam

What's up everybody? Hope you all had a great week. It's time for another weekend wrap up blog.

Pre-season NFL football got under way already, Anyone else pay attention?

20 Days until Hawkeye football begins!

No real big celebrity news i want to talk about so let's get going on the wrestling shall we?

Did anyone else catch Eric Bischoff's rant on his facebook about how ROH isn't a big money maker?

I bet a lot of people would rather watch ROH then TNA, Eric really has no room to talk.

TNA's Hardcore Justice was last sunday, it would of been a good PPV if it hadn't been for the Blue lighting..What was up with that?!

I truly hope TNA does not keep a lot of EV 2.0 guys around.

TNA had their Whole F'N Show on thursday, it would of been great except I feel they already give away to many free pay per view style matches on T.V. it didn't feel anything special for me.

Jeff Hardy V.S. Shannon Morre Really?!

I haven't got a chance to watch Beer Money and Motor City yet but i've heard it's another classic.

They should of scrapped their worthless divas match and given the time to Kurt and A.J.

WWE Summerlsam is tommorw, they waited awhile to announce some matches i think they should of announced some more sooner.

I'm looking forward to Kofi V.S. Drew for the IC title at Summer Slam, Kofi has had a very aggressive streak on this feud and I think it's GREAT for his character.

The Nexus should win their match on sunday, I'll have more to say on this when we post are Summer Slam picks tomorrow.

I couldn't believe how loud that raw crowd was at the end of that show Monday! Man they were loud!

I honestly can't remember the last time i saw Jobbers on WWE T.V. They had three last night against the Big Show.

Will NXT live to see a 4th season? Word has it season 3 starts shortly after the 2nd one ends in a few weeks.

I would be surprised if Kaval wins this season, but right now it seems likely he will, either way i see all these final guys getting a roster spot.

I think Matt Hardy has become a perminate Jobber over on Smackdown! It's a shame to.

I also sadly think the same thing about Christian to, WWE hasn't done anything with him since moving him to Smackdown!

Well that does it for another edition of the Weekend Wrap Up! Hope everyone has a great week.

Is Monday Night Raw Becoming Must Watch T.V. Again?

Well the last raw going into Summerslam sure seemed to go off with a BANG. I tend to pay attention to Twitter throughout the show and at one point I did notice Randy Orton was trending topic, the last few weeks WWE superstars have become trending topics on Twitter, which is great news for WWE because it means people are talking about the product.

Yes I hard on the women’s division about every chance I get but, I couldn’t help but praise them tonight. Melina coming back to WWE has to be the best thing for that division. She carried that match. At one point it sounded like the fans were chanting “Fox Can’ Wrestle” they weren’t far off, but Melina carried the match and made it a decent match.

Evan Bourne and The Miz put on a solid match tonight as well. That hurricanrana that Bourne pulled off on the miz was amazing! I really hope they give Bourne a title run with the US Title, I’m sick of The Miz saying “oh I’m the US Champion.” You never defend the belt! Well maybe he does on house shows, but hardly ever on T.V.

Santino and The Bella Twins always are the part of the show where fans and viewers at home can take a break and go to the merch stand or got get food if your at home.

R-Truth and John Morrison put on a nice little T.V. match against Regal and Ryder but was it really meant to be on Raw or Superstars? I think this was more or less to show that R-Truth and John Morrison are on the same page, Morrison’s offense in this match made it a fun match to watch. Morrison has some serious skill.

The main event was done nicely, the live crowd had a TON of heat on The Nexus. I can’t remember the last time a group had this much heat on them. I loved the way they teased us not knowing where Jericho and Edge stood the whole time. The ending was just PERFECT and the live crowd ate it up!

I have to say Raw is not must watch T.V. YET, but it's slowly getting there. I felt the did a nice build towards Summer Slam tonight for their big WWE V.S. The Nexus tag team match. I'm excited to sit down and watch the event come Sunday.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Shark Week, UFC 117, TNA Hardcore Justice,WWE Summerslam, NXT Future?

What's up everybody? Hope you all had a wonderful week now it's time for another edition of the weekend wrap up!!

Shark week was this week, who else watched? I watched a lil bit last night good stuff.

UFC 117 is tonight i'll be cheering for Roy "Big Country" Nelson, Matt Hughes, and Anderson Silva to pick up wins tonight.

USA today released their pre-season NCAA football polls i'm shaking my head on a lot of the top 10 picks. My hawks are ranked 10th, I'm happy about that.

NFL Pre-season starts next week, I know it's only pre-season but i'm still excited to watch some football!!

Now time for wrestling

Only 8 days away and 4 advertised matches for summer slam? Step up your game WWE.

I expect they'll add two womens matches to the card....oh joy...

According to a recent interview with Gail Kim WWE is going to start focusing on the in ring product for their division...Let's hope so.

Kane is The Undertaker's attacker? Hopefully they don't go with another Kane/Taker Feud.

CM Punk is one of the best mic guys in the business, can't wait for him to get back in the ring.

They're doing a nice mean streak with Kofi Kingston right now over on smackdown! hopefully they keep it up with him.

Despite my hate for "Dashing" Cody Rhodes I still think he seems to be getting better in the ring and on the mic.

I really hope John Morrison gets his chance to shine during Summer Slam, dude is awesome.

John Cena took over TMZ the other, pretty funny stuff, looks like he had a good time. Head over to tmz.com to check out that video.

TNA's Hardcore Justice is tommorw, they have a solid line up of superstars set for the show, but only two advertised matches.

Motor City and Beer Money still had a good ultimate x match but it didn't live up to the hype if you ask me.

TNA's "The Whole fn Show" on thursday looks good on paper, but really doesn't feel like anything special.

I think TNA gives away to many good matches on free TV when they should be used for PPV's.

Ric Flair got into it with Jay Lethal again this week...and surprise surprise Ric felt the need to bleed...

Ring of Honor added Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Hass to their upcoming iPPV, should be interesting to see them get a chance to show off their skills.

That'll do it for another edition of the Weekend Wrap Up. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Chewy's Weekly Top 25 WWE Superstars

What's up everybody? I thought I'd try something new and start my own top 25 the way WWE does on their site so here it goes.

1. Sheamus - He's done really well lately, with the exception of getting side tracked by The Miz.

2. Randy Orton- The Viper has a lot of momentum going into Summerslam. He picked up a nice victory over The Miz on raw this past monday as well while watching his back for Sheamus.

3. Kane - He's taking all his aggression out on Rey Mysterio for thinking he attacked his brother The Undertaker, also helping build momentum for their match at Summerslam.

4. The Miz - He would be higher for me but he has failed to successfully cash in the money and the bank.

5 . The Nexus - These 7 guys are showing a nice united strong front heading into their elimination match at Summerslam. They continue to dominate.

6. John Cena - Seems really low rank for a guy like Cena right? He needs to keep the raw team together.

7. The Big Show -He has been making CM Punk's Straight Edge Society look like whimps. Sure they got him back last Friday but he's still one step ahead of them.

8. Rey Mysterio - He's been taking a lot of beatings lately. Before Kane it was from Jake Swagger..He can't seem to get out of all these beatings hes been taking.

9. Kofi Kingstion - Nice to see a bit of a mean streak from him last Friday on Smackdown! Hopefully it keeps up.

10. Melina - It was a nice breath of fresh air to see her return! Hopefully she can help the women's division out. Lord knows it needs it.

11. Edge -I don't think Edge did himself any favors by calling quits on team WWE heading into Summerslam.

12. The Hart Dynasty - They didn't work a T.V. match but they're one of the best tag teams WWE has right now.

13. Christian - I have him ranked higher then the WWE Power 25, but he had a nice showing against Drew on Smackdown! WWE need's to use Christian better.

14. Jack Swagger - Well his title reign came to an end and he's back on a loosing streak..Where does he go from here?

15. Dolph Ziggler - He ran into Kofi's mean streak on smackdown! last week....He better watch out.

16.Evan Bourne - He had the night off this past monday..Maybe selling the Nexus attack from last week? Still a true superstar!

17. Chris Jericho - Despite loosing to Cena on raw Monday him and Cena put on a solid match. He showed why Cena needs him on team WWE.

18. Drew McIntyre - He defiantly got out smarted by Christian on Smackdown...I hope WWE isn't giving up on this guy...I think he has "IT".

19. MVP - He's been doing a nice job helping out his NXT rookie Percy Watson, seems some of his personality has rubbed off on Percy.

20. Dashing Cody Rhodes - I still don't get the whole "dashing" thing...REALLY?!

21.CM Punk - He's trying to put one up on The Big Show, I think he got some revenge this past week.

22. Alicia Fox - Despite being on the winning end of her match this week, she did get to feel the rath of Melina.

23. Santino Morella & Valadmir Kozlov - These guys are nothing more then a joke....sorry WWE.

24. Team Lay-Cool - These two are just outright annoying,

25. Goldust - I thought he put on a nice lil old school type match with Seamus on raw monday. A true veteran he is.
