WWE Hell in a Cell 2013 Preview

This Sunday is WWE Hell in a Cell 2013. I'm previewing every match on the card and giving my predictions.

WWE Battleground Preview

The first ever WWE Battleground Pay-Per-View is this Sunday and I'm going to try to do a short preview of it. I'm giving predictions for all advertised matches.

Video: Triple H vs. Big Show vs. The Rock for the WWF Championship (RAW IS WAR - March 20, 2000)

Tomorrow, RAW is in Chicago and for the time in years, there will not be a WWE Champion on the show. Oh wait, I forgot about earlier this year when Dwayne missed almost every RAW when he was the champion. What I meant to say was that this will be the first time in years that the WWE Championship is vacant. The last time that happened was when CM Punk left Money in the Bank 2011 (ironically also in Chicago) with the WWE Championship and since his contract expired that night, WWE was without a champion when RAW started the next night.

WWE Night of Champions 2013 Preview

Welcome to another WWE Pay-Per-View preview. I can't believe PPV Sunday is almost here. SummerSlam didn't feel that long ago. In this preview, I'm giving my predictions for each match.

Most Bizarre Similarity Between the CM Punk Pipebomb and AJ Lee Pipebombshell Promos

On Monday Night RAW on August 26, AJ Lee did a promo that is now known as the "Pipebombshell" promo. I had the TV on while she was cutting that promo, but I wasn't listening carefully to it so I went back later and watched the entire promo because it got compared to the famous CM Punk Pipebomb promo in 2011. While I was watching the promo, I was shocked to see AJ do something just like Punk did two years ago.

2013 WWE Predictions Update

On the day before 2013, I posted my 2013 WWE Predictions. The year is not over yet, but there are only four months left. This is a good time to see how I'm doing so far.

The Wrestling Match Review: CM Punk vs. JBL (WWE SummerSlam – August 17, 2008)

[This review was originally posted at Wrestling Rambles on August 14, 2013]

SummerSlam is this Sunday so this week’s review is a SummerSlam match. I’m not reviewing a SummerSlam classic because I don’t review classic matches that people have talked about a million times. I’m reviewing a match from CM Punk’s first World Championship reign. Punk is currently my favorite WWE superstar and I will admit that his first World Championship reign was bad. I was going to compare it to Jack Swagger’s World Championship reign, but it’s likely most people don’t remember it. A good comparison is the World Championship reign Dolph Ziggler had this year. I think Ziggler’s short reign might have been slightly better. At least Ziggler lost his championship in a match. Punk was told that the Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels feud that was happening at that time needed the World Heavyweight Championship. WWE felt that the best way to take the World Heavyweight Championship away from Punk was by having Randy Orton punt Punk in the head during a backstage segment at the 2008 Unforgiven Pay-Per-View. Punk was unable to defend his championship so Punk was replaced by Jericho in the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble match and Jericho won the championship. Punk got an opportunity to win back his championship a week later and lost to Jericho on RAW in a steel cage match. Punk’s reign lasted only two months and he defended the title on PPV only two times. There weren’t many good things that happened during Punk’s first reign. I could only think of two. The first was the Orton punt only because when Orton and Punk needed a reason to fight at WrestleMania 27 almost three years later, Punk talked about wanting to get revenge for getting punted by Orton at Unforgiven. They were able to take one of Punk’s worst WWE moments and turn it into an entertaining WrestleMania storyline. The second thing was Punk’s match against JBL at SummerSlam 2008.
