Welcome one and all to another edition of the Daily Slam! There hasn't been a new post fore the past 4 weeks due to vacationing and lack of motivation. Also, some blame must go to my supporters and that number is very little so you know who you are. Anyways, recently in the world of wrestling/sports entertainment, Sheamus gets 5 competitors for the title, Kane needs to fear his brothers revenge, Daniel Bryan is making life difficult for the Miz, and the Harts get new bronze (?) titles along with new #1 contenders. This and much more on this week's edition of the.....
Since the Celtic Warrior walked out of SummerSlam the victor, has been given some terrible news. This past Monday he defended his WWE Championship successfully against a great competitor in Zack Ryder. Unfortunately, the mystery GM didn't find Sheamus's victory good enough so he has issued a six-pack challenge at Night of Champions ppv. The superstars who will get an opportunity at Sheamus's gold (his belt not a pot) are Edge, Jericho, Orton, Cena, and Wade Barrett. Now I don't feel it's right not to allow Barrett to take on Sheamus one on one but I guess the guys behind the show don't think those two can carry a main event match alone. I think having Orton thrown into the mix for a triple threat match would be better and have Cena, Edge, and Jericho continue a feud with the rest of Nexus. By having all these members in one match could hurt the rest of the card. Having two members of Nexus win the "new" WWE tag titles and defend them against Edge & Jericho would have been more interesting than the approach at this time. I don't want to rush to judgment so I'll have to wait and see how this all unfold until I completely go all negative.
The Undertaker is returning to SmackDown tonight and looks like the Deadman will be looking for sweet revenge on his brother. I think someone should tell him that it's really Rey's fault. Kane got the upper hand at SummerSlam by choke slamming Taker so chalk that one up on the board. Unfortunately Kane is still losing in the long run. I imagine we'll get a good promo by Taker about how Kane is going to straight to hell or something in that nature. Odds are that it will be Undertaker vs Kane at NOC.
Speaking of SmackDown, Alberto Del Rio made his in ring debut last week by beating Rey Mysterio with an Arm Bar. Hell yes! Glad to see someone win with something different for a change. Those two had great in ring chemistry and I can see why the WWE is so hyped up for Del Rio. He'll be holding that IC title before you know it. Of course he might have to make love to Vickie first but there's always a price to pay these days.
Daniel Bryan made his epic return to the WWE at SummerSlam and reignited his feud with the awesome one, the Miz. Bringing him back was the right choice and perfect timing. The Miz and Bryan should put on some good matches in the following weeks and I can only imagine the US Title being defended at NOC with Daniel Bryan being in the mix somehow. If I was to purchase this ppv, that would be the sole reason right there. Also, Bryan put people in one hell of a crossface. I remember when HBK was the only one allowed to use that move. Oh how the tides are changing.
The Hart Dynasty was recently given new WWE Tag Titles and the design are awesome but the color is disgusting. They remind me of old Roman royalty but made cheaply. The bronze colors just don't work. They're as bad as that god awful platinum ECW championship. WWE needs to hire a whole new graphics department. Other than my disgust for the color, I like the idea of one set of titles but I would prefer if the Harts would show up on SD as well. Santino and Koslov beat the Uso brothers to become the new #1 contenders for the Hart's tag titles and I'm not all against this idea. I know it makes the division look like a joke but that's nothing new. Koslov is solid in the ring and Santino has in ring presence, even if it is getting his ass beat most of the time. Once this match is over, I highly suggest Nexus getting into the tag title picture.
Diva Break...
News from the 'E is that the lovely Serena has been released. No official statement has been posted on their website that I am aware of but things don't look good for the bald diva. She just made her in-ring debut and gets the boot a week later. Apparently she wasn't living the straight edge lifestyle off camera while is grounds for getting the pink slip. This news makes me deeply sad and hopes they bring her back her back with a full head of hair with a new gimmick. I mean if Tiffany gets fired then there is really no divas on SD what so ever.
With only 2 episodes to go and three competitiors remaining, it appears that Kaval is the front runner to win season II of NXT. He has to be the fans front runner in votes but I can still see Vince pulling a fast one on us and giving the win to someone who looks more like a main eventer. Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty are more of what the WWE looks for in new stars but Kaval has been getting over with the fans so much more that he will be on the main roster no matter what the outcome is. I just want Michael to reintroduce himself with his real name and reference his father (Mr. Perfect).
Until Next Time...
