WWE Bragging Right's Picks

We are just 3 hrs away from WWE annual Bragging Rights PPV and here are picks!

Chewy's Pick's

Randy Orton V.S. Wade Barrett(w/John Cena) for the WWE Championship - If i'm booking this match you let Barrett go over here and to make things better you have Cena legitimately help Barrett go over. None of this teasing crap just make Cena turn into a heel tonight by helping Barrett win. I'm taking Barrett.

Kane V.S. Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match for the World Heavyweight Championship - Buried alive matches have never really been in favor of Taker, plus with rumors going around that he's taking more time off to have surgery it would only make sense for Kane to go over - I'm taking Kane.

Team Raw V.S. Team Smackdown! - Vince want's to treat Smackdown! as a No 1 brand...Sorry Vince Smackdown! won't become the No 1 brand no matter how much you want it to be. Still Smackdown! will go over here tonight. I'm also picking the Big Show to get the final elimination to make this his event.

Daniel Bryan V.S. Dolph Ziggler - I'm taking Bryan here.

Layla V.S. Natalya for the Unified Divas Championship - I smell a title change here and i'm taking Natalya.

Goldust V.S. Ted Dibiase - I think Ted takes this one.

Ziggy's Picks
Unified Divas Title Match: Layla © vs. Natalya
Ziggy: Natalya
* RAW vs. SmackDown! Match: US Champion Daniel Bryan vs. IC Champion Dolph Ziggler
Ziggy: Daniel Bryan
* Bragging Rights Tag Team Match: Team Raw (Captain Miz, Sheamus, John Morrison, C.M. Punk, R-Truth, Santino and Ezekiel Jackson) vs. Team Smackdown (Captain Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, Edge, Tyler Reks, and Kofi Kingston)
Ziggy: Team Smackdown
* World Title Buried Alive Match: Kane © w/Paul Bearer vs. The Undertaker
Ziggy: Kane

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking UFC 121, WWE Bragging Rigjhts, Stand Up for WWE, TNA and much more!

What's up everyone?! It's the weekend so that brings us to yet another weekend wrap up! Lot's to talk about so let's get to it!

Tonight is the big UFC 121 ppv! This card is STACKED! The UFC debut of Jake Shields, Brock Lesnar defends his heavyweight belt, and Tito Ortiz makes his return to the octagon!

I will be cheering for Lesnar and Ortiz tonight.

They are calling this heavyweight fight the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history....Wasn't that supposed to be Shane Carwin VS Brock Lesnar? Each of Brock's fight's keep getting bigger and bigger.

WWE started a "Stand up for WWE" campaign this past Monday. At first it didn't seem like a bad idea, but when Vince says they are "taking away our right to vote" Thats pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

If we don't vote it's cause we choose not to Vince!!!

This past week WWE actually had some good TV quality matches on their shows Raw and Smackdown! NXT is till not a show if you ask me...hell just ask Joey Styles, if you don't know what i meant by that follow his twitter page during NXT...It's priceless!!

I liked the "hype" they tried doing for tomorrows PPV but, with UFC tonight and Packers/Vikings game tomorrow they got TOUGH competition.

I'm kind of bothered by the fact that Vince wants to treat Smackdown! as the no 1 brand...Really Vince? Why?!

Smackdown! is just not no 1 brand material in my book, however it is getting better to watch.

Sadly Smackdown! will be going over at the PPV, mark my words!

This is all being done to help ratings and try and get their WWE network up and running.

I never would of guessed WWE would have more wrestling then TNA the past two weeks.

This weeks impact was good however.

But why is AJ Styles wrestling in Jeans? and since when does RVD wear a shirt when he wrestles?!

I'm REALLY enjoying the Jarrett/Angle feud right now, even though Angle isn't there right now i like how their starting to build it up.

When Angle comes back and is healed up it should make for a hell of a great match between the two.

No word yet on if Matt Hardy has a 90 no compete clause, but the word is he is TNA bound.

If he does have a 90 no compete clause we should see him in TNA just before the New Year or shortly after the New Year would be my guess.

TNA had an Ultimate X match on impact this week....Probably one of the WORST ultimate x matches i've ever seen!

Monday on Shotgun Radio our good friend @SullivanBooks author of the WWE Championship book will be joining us to talk about the upcoming book which is due out Nov 23rd. It can be pre-ordered by clicking on the link here. Also we'll be talking about the Stand Up for WWE campaign as well as a review of WWE Bragging Rights PPV. Be sure to check the blog tomorrow for our predicitions.

Stand Up For WWE: My reasons for being a WWE "mark."


For those who missed it early today Vince McMahon and the WWE posted a video which can be seen here asking the WWE Universe to Stand Up for WWE.

I completely agree with Vince McMahon here and what they are trying to do. The political race involving his wife shouldn't be focusing on her former company the WWE. Yet news networks and her opponent seem to think they should.

I thought I would take this time to post my thoughts on WWE and why I'm such a WWE mark as you would call me.

I first got into pro wrestling when I was two years old when my old babysitters son was very into it and he just got me hooked on it, from there it was all uphill. I loved how bigger then life pro wrestling seemed, all the stars with their awesome entrance music, and willingness to make the crowd "pop."

Hulk Hogan was my first childhood hero(but then again who didn't love hulk hogan?) Hogan was exactly what his nickname was immortal, he made you believe he could NEVER loose. Hogan was the perfect hero for young kids everywhere and he was one of the main reasons I started watching WWE.

I attended my first WWE event when I was 3 or 4? I remember my sister won tickets on the radio for me and we had floor seats, talk about a cool experience to be able to touch the wrestlers hands and cheer them on. I still have pictures from this event as a matter of fact. This was another moment when I fell in love with professional wrestling.

After Hogan had moved on to WCW I became a huge Bret Hart fan, he was just one of the best WWE champions the company ever had, never backed down from a challenge and always defended his title.

Throughout the years I would attend MANY wrestling events ranging from TV tapings to house shows and always have a blast at each one, There's nothing better then witnessing WWE,WCW, or even TNA LIVE! Now a days family's can bring their kids and make it one big family event, there's just nothing like being at a wrestling event live weather it be WWE,TNA, or an Independent show.

When I first got into WWE they were all bout the goofy gimmicks and big man, boy have times changed. I love the fact that it's not a big mans "sport" anymore. Now anyone doesn't matter what size you are can be a wrestler.

The WWE does more for their community/universe then just about any other organization out there. They're always granting wishes for kids through the make a wish foundation, they've gone over seas for a number of years now to do a tribute to our troops, they encourage young people to vote with the "smackdown your vote campaign", plus much more.

These are some of the reason why I'm a huge WWE mark and most likely always will be. I appuladed Eric Bischoff today for standing behind this campaign even though he is the "competition." I would like to see more wrestlers past and present along with fans join along and Stand up not only for WWE but for Professional Wrestling all together.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking TNA House Show, WWE Braging Rights, Smackdown, and More!

What's up everyone? I know it's a little later then normal but it's time for another Weekend Wrap up blog!

Anyone been watching Two and a half men? God how can you not feel bad for Allan? Poor SOB lol Great show!

Ziggy and I attend the TNA house show last night, i must say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. TNA really does go the extra mile to make their fans feel special, We met almost the entire roster that night except 5 guys.

Believe it or not I even enjoyed the Knockouts match they had on the card! They need to give their women more time on TV.

From what I've heard TNA impact this last week should of been called Total none stop talking.

I haven't watched it yet this week but i just may do that tonight or tomorrow sometime.

For those who missed Smackdown! this past week I suggest you go watch it! More wrestling then TNA and the matches actually had meaning behind them.

They did qualifying matches for the Team Smackdown! for the Bragging Rights PPV.

Speaking of Bragging Right I'm actually looking forward to this PPV.

The Team Smackdown! VS Team Raw match should be a good one but I think they'll put Smackdown! over.

WWE finally released Matt Hardy this past week.

All I can say is about time, According to Jeff, Matt will be in TNA very soon, I wonder if Matt has a no compete clause.

Hopefully when one Matt Hardy does show his ugly mug in TNA it's a good thing for him.

Raw this past week was very youthful, Focused a lot on the young talent of the WWE roster.

I never thought WWE would be the ones to push their youth movement more then TNA has.

Read a sneak peak of the WWE Championship book sounds like it's gunna be a great book, if you want sneak peaks follow @SullivanBooks on twitter also pre-oder the book here

For pictures of the TNA house show event I went to you can view them here

That'll do it for another edition of the weekend wrap up, Be sure to tune in tomorrow to Shotgun Radio on blogtalk radio at 2pm central time, Ziggy and I will run down our thoughts on the TNA house show in Dubuque, Preview WWE Bragging Rights PPV, Talk about the very talkative TNA Impact! and much more!

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking MLB Playoffs, NFL,NCAA,WWE,TNA's Bound for Glory and MORE!

What's up everybody? It's Saturday which means it's time for another edition of the weekend wrap up blog. Lots to talk about so let's get to it.

MLB Playoffs are going on right now, If the Yankees win the world series again I will be tempted to stop watching baseball.

I'm picking The Rangers and the Phillies in the world series.

Chiefs V.S. Colts tomorrow, HUGE game for the Chiefs, I'm not getting overconfident but i hope we put up a fight.

Right now Alabama is loosing by 7 to South Carolina, but are within scoring range, could be a dog fight finish, Personally i LOVE upsets.

Michigan and Denard Robinson got exposed today, can't wait for the hawks to play them next week!

Time for wrestling

TNA had their LIVE impact this Thursday, I've heard good things and bad things about this show, I have yet to watch it but plan to tomorrow after the PPV.

Kevin Nash claims on twitter that he will finish with TNA in 4 days and sounds like finally retire and go home. Good for him he deserves it.

If Nash retires it takes away who I thought "they" were. Be interesting to see who "they" are come Sunday.

TNA House show comes to Iowa next weekend me and Ziggy will be on hand and taking pictures and video for our facebook page. Really excited for their house show as I've heard their much better then their TV shows.

According to one Matt Hardy he has asked for his release TWICE....WHY does WWE want to keep him around?! Sounds like he may be getting released soon.

I find it funny that even his ex girlfriend Lita has been wondering "what's wrong with that guy?"

Also does anyone notice how wrestlers tend to bash internet sites yet they still check them all the time?

Edge got traded to Smackdown! I think this was a very good move by WWE he needs more people to work with and it helps the Smackdown! brand out.

Raw is getting CM Punk, Very excited to see Punk come over to Raw.

Sounds like WWE is leaning towards a buried alive match between Kane and Undertaker at the next PPV, Be interesting to see how this works out.

If you haven't yet you need to start following @SullivanBooks on Twitter, If you like wrestling he's a good one to follow.

Hie new book WWE Championship comes out sometime in November. Pre-order it by clicking on the text.

That'll do it for another edition of the weekend wrap up.

WWE Hell in a Cell Picks


Seems like we were just here two weeks ago....oh wait we were...Here are our Hell in the Cell picks.

Chewy's Picks
Randy Orton V.S. Sheamus for the WWE title in a hell in a cell match - I pick Orton to retain here and finally end this feud and move on to someone else.

John Cena V.S. Wade Barrett - I pick Barrett, it makes the most since and i think a Cena "heel" turn would make people watch.

Kane V.S. Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship - Should be easy and go with Taker to win here and keep his belt for awhile, might be the last time we see Taker in a Hell in the Cell match.
Daniel Bryan V.S. The Miz V.S. John Morrison - Pretty random to throw Morrison in their but i'm going with Daniel Bryan to reatin tonight

Michelle McCool V.S. Natalya for the WWE Diva's Championship - I'm taking McCool here.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Smackdown debuts on SyFy,Tough Enough,Mick Foley being promoted on WWE TV and More.

What's up everyone it's time for another edition of the weekend wrap up.

Smackdown! made it's debut on SyFy last night, Not a bad show but it felt more like Raw then Smackdown!

I like that Smackdown! moved the SyFy, now the show will actually be on at 7pm instead of 9pm.

Surprisingly to many my Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0!! Yahoo....better enjoy it now while i can.

Is anyone still watching baseball this time of the year?

Is Matt er Matthew Hardy starting to freak anyone else the fuck out?

I've been saying it weeek after week WWE PLEASE just release him...who cares if he does to a C rated program/company.

Raw got a 2.7 rating...ouch....

Final rating of NXT was a .07....Honestly am surprised it wasn't that rating any sooner! On a side note the final rating of ECW was a 2,.7.....HMMMMM

I recently bought the tough enough seasons online and just watched Season 3 where John Morrison won, it was a GREAT season to bad Matt the runner up had a brain tumor, i also thought Jonah could of been a star. I wish they would of continued with Tough Enough.

WWE's Hell in a Cell is tomorrow.....then in about two more weeks we have ANOTHER ppv....that's about 3 ppvs in one month...REALLY?! Do we need that many?

Tomorrow is the best day to turn John Cena heel.

I love Green Day and all but the worst possible theme song WWE could of picked is "Know Your Enemy"

Anyone else feel like Randy Orton should go back to a heel? I have a hard time believing him as a face, especially when he doesn't like it.

Big change coming to TNA this week....i feel like i've heard this before...oh wait i have,,,

If you haven't yet go pick up the new Chris Jericho DVD, A+ DVD!

Also go pre-order the WWE Championship book on amazon.com.
