WWE Smackdown Review (November 25, 2011)

Smackdown was in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania this week. There were five matches not including Daniel Bryan's failed Money in the Bank cash-in on Mark Henry. The match started while Mark Henry was knocked out so Teddy Long rightfully threw out the match. Mark Henry is still the World Heavyweight Champion and Daniel Bryan gets to keep his Money in the Bank briefcase.

VIDEO: My New CM Punk T-Shirt!

When I first ordered my CM Punk shirt, it was originally estimated that I wouldn't receive my shirt until December. When the shirt was shipped, I found out that I was expected to receive it on November 28. But despite the Thanksgiving holiday, I received my shirt today which is at least two days early. Read more to see my official unboxing (or unbagging in this case).

The Keg Stand: The Recipe for a Classic WWE Match

[Writer's Note: This is my Keg Stand for this week. There will be no Keg Stand this weekend.]

Last Monday on RAW, CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler had an amazing match. I would have gave it four stars if I was reviewing RAW. It was a really good match but that match had no chance of being a 5-star classic match and I will explain why.

CM PUNK IS THE NEW WWE CHAMPION!!!

Congratulations to CM Punk for beating Alberto Del Rio tonight at WWE Survivor Series and becoming the WWE Champion. Punk is now a two-time WWE Champion and a five-time World Champion. I would like to see him as the WWE Champion when the WWE returns to Chicago on December 26.

WWE Survivor Series Preview

WWE Survivor Series is in New York City tonight. It should be a great show. I think the NYC crowd is a little bit overrated but I am curious to see how they react to the Pay-Per-View.

The Keg Stand: CM Punk is Now Officially My Favorite WWE Superstar

For most of 2011, CM Punk has been my favorite WWE Superstar. I have always been a CM Punk fan because he's from Chicago like me. Punk was very entertaining in the beginning of this year and his epic feud with John Cena leading up to Money in the Bank definitely made CM Punk my undisputed favorite WWE Superstar. However, just saying that CM Punk is my favorite Superstar is not enough. I don't own anything with CM Punk's name on it. When you have a favorite sports player, the best way to make it official is by getting his jersey. So to make it official that CM Punk is my favorite WWE Superstar, I purchased something today on WWEShop.com that I have not owned since the Attitude Era. I purchased a WWE T-Shirt.

WWE Smackdown Review (November 18, 2011)

WWE Smackdown was in Hershey, Pennsylvania this week. Hershey is only 100 miles from Penn State...is it too soon to make a Penn State joke? I'm going say yes and I will not be making any jokes involving Hornswoggle.

CORRECTION: Smackdown was actually in Bridgeport, Connecticut this week. RAW is in Hershey, PA on Monday. I'm apologize for the error.

The Keg Stand: My Current Thoughts on RAW

I didn't feel like doing a "Keg Stand" this week but I also didn't want to skip a week so here's my "Keg Stand". Everyone has been asking me about how I currently feel about WWE Monday Night RAW. Okay that was a lie...no one has been asking me that but I am going to tell you my thoughts whether you want to read them or not.

WWE Smackdown Review (November 11, 2011)

Smackdown was in Liverpool, England this week. There were seven matches on Smackdown and I will review all of them.

The Keg Stand (November 5, 2011)

This weekend is going to be very busy for me. I want to give my opinion about this week's Smackdown and I also want to write my Keg Stand column. The problem is that I had a hard time thinking of five topics and I didn't watch half of Smackdown. So for this week, I will discuss two WWE topics and review three matches from Smackdown. I'm not gonna say "Never before...never again" but I don't plan on having The Keg Stand and my Smackdown Review be tag-team partners every week.

Mick Foley Has Officially Returned to the WWE

Mick Foley has finally returned to the WWE for the first time since the summer of 2008. It was reported almost two weeks ago that Mick Foley's WWE return would be on November 14 in Boston during a three-hour RAW. However, Foley's return came 12 days early. Foley appeared at a WWE house show in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday night (it's Wednesday night here in America but it's Thursday morning in Ireland right now so I can't say that the house show happened tonight because technically it was yesterday). Foley is no longer scheduled to appear at the Nov. 14 RAW according to WWE.com and the TD Garden website but I expect him to be re-added to the "scheduled to appear" list after appearing at Dublin's official WWE live event. I'm a big Mick Foley fan so this is news that I had post as soon as possible. I can't wait until he finally appears on WWE TV. I had a feeling that Foley would eventually return to the WWE but it's awesome to find out that he is now officially back in the WWE.

1,949 Views in October!

At the start of last month, I was hoping for this blog to get 1,500 views in October. Instead, I got almost 2,000 views! That is according to Blogger and I have requested that Blogger don't count my views so it's not like half of those views are from me. I had only 196 views during the whole month of July so 1,949 views in October is a HUGE number. I also got my StatCounter report today and it said I had 1,001 unique visits which means 1,001 different people visited the blog. So I know it's not just Ray, Alan, Capt. Smooth, Shaman's Harvest, and Chadam visiting hundreds of times. 258 out of the 1,001 unique viewers made return visits to the blog. This is great stuff. Every month my blog numbers continue to get better. Thank you for reading!
