Last Week in Wrestling Purgatory

Welcome to a new feature at the OCC. In this feature, i will comment on the good, bad and the in-between of the wrestling and MMA shows i have seen in the past week.

So i shall start with last week's episode of Raw which was ok, not bad but not great either. John Cena has to stop with the 20 minute promos at the beginning of the show though, his promos are normally ok but this went WAY to long. In shocking news, it seems that WWE have remembered that they have a Women's title and perhaps it should be pushed once in a while. The return of psycho Victoria makes me happy but what made me even happier was seeing the beautiful Maria. I love her as she seems to be the only Diva that isn't made out of plastic unlike say Torrie Wilson. The eventual Victoria/Mickie match will be a great encounter i'm sure when we get to see it.

DX need to go away soon as i am fed up seeing them on my TV screen, they suck. However, at least they are involved in what has turned into a nice storyline with Team RKO so that makes them passible for the moment.

However the storyline of the month goes to the Umaga vs. John Cena feud which heated up with a fantastic brawl between the two men and led to Johnathan Coachman making the rule that they could not touch each other until the New Year's Day editon of Raw. I smell a screwjob coming in the Cena/K-Fed match.

Smackdown was...well i don't know, i taped the show but i have not bothered to watch it. A recurring theme in past month's and i will not be buying Armageddon either.

In the UK, we get a channel on Sky TV called TWC Fight which shows the following promotions and the best part of all is...IT'S FREE TO AIR! I get all the TNA PPVs for free so if they are shitty, i haven't lost any money on it. Also, i get all of the UFC PPVs free as well. Please do not send hate mail.

So this week i will be giving my views on two shows i saw over the last week. Firstly, i watched a show from the now defunct GAEA Japan which is an all women's promotion like Shimmer. The easiest way to picture the show is this: take Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi and substitute the guys for girls and you have GAEA Japan. These women do not hold back; they punch, kick and generally knock the shit out of each other like their male counterparts and it's awesome! I had never seen women's wrestling like this ever but now i have, i will be watching every week. If you think women's wrestling is just hair pulling and screeching, watch some GAEA and your view will be changed forever. For example during a six women match, one of the women took one of the hardest shots with a weapon i have ever seen and i have seen Necro Butcher.

The other promotion i watched was RQW(Real Quality Wrestling) from the UK. This show had some of the best production i have ever seen from a UK promotion, they had video screens, multiple cameras, commentators that did not offend my intelligence...the works. The wrestling itself was more than impressive for example; the opener was a three way match between Johnny Storm(a UK veteran), Bingo Ballance(from the IWW promotion in Ireland) and Pac who has the nickname "The man gravity forgot". Truer words have never been spoken as i saw some amazing spots i cannot even begin to describe, they were on par with the famous Do Fixer vs. Blood Generation match from ROH.

Now onto the shit and the winner of the newly created "Shittiest Show of the Week" award is.....TNA IMPACT! What the fuck was that last week? Did Russo take something before writing this show? I hope so as this was some of the worst stuff i have ever seen all-time all my life. I don't even want to talk about it.

No MMA this week but i am going to try and catch King Of The Cage at some point this week so i will recap that next week.

I hope you enjoyed this and i welcome all comments; good or bad.
