I don't particularly agree with "******** MMA" (PRIDE and DREAM had some really good fights that prevent me from saying so) but I'm behind Jericho all the way. ******** UFC!

I just wish he didn't turn around and apologise:

(Spoilers) WWE SmackDown! Taping Results For Friday

Smackdown started with Alberto Del Rio talking about destiny. Kofi Kingston came out and talked smack and threatened del rio with a kendo stick. Kofi eventually hit Del Rio with a kendo stick and destroyed an in-ring setup, which led to a match.

1. Alberto Del Rio defeated Kof Kingston. Del Rio won by submission via armbar.

2. Justin Gabriel defeated Vladimir Kozlov. The match was ok. Gabriel won with a 450 splash. At one point during match, Heath Slater tripped Kozlov, and Santino hit Slater with The Cobra outside the ring. After the match was done, The Corre put a couple finishers on Kozlov and Santino, no "dog pack" beat down.

3. Drew McIntyre defeated Chris Masters. McIntyre said that it was all Edge's fault that Kelly Kelly was fired last week. He said this match was for her. They had some okay exchanges, and McIntyre won via the Future Shock DDT.

They went to a shot of Laycool talking backstage. Michelle said she should be Divas Champion and the refs got it wrong at Royal Rumble. Layla looked and said, "Don't you mean WE should be Divas Champion?" It looked like there may have been some tension. Vickie came out of her locker room and said that they needed to take control of what they wanted, like she was doing with Dolph Ziggler tonight.

4. Eve defeated Layla (w/Michelle McCool. LayCool came out to some heat).

5. Wade Barrett defeated Rey Mysterio. Pretty decent heat for Barrett, and Mysterio had a big pop. No Corre members were ringside. Barrett said that beating Mysterio is part of the plan of The CorreThey had a good match with a lot of action. Barrett ended up winning via The Wasteland finisher.

The Corre members then came down and they had a beatdown of Mysterio, and then Big Show came down and cleaned some house. Ezekiel Jackson broke up a double chokeslam attempt, and The Corre beat up on Show for a bit. Zeke actually suplexed the Big Show, and it was quite a sight. They posed over Big Show for a bit and left.

6. Kane beat JTG in a squash match. Kane dominated and won via chokeslam.

7. Edge defeated Dolph Ziggler with Vickie Guerrero as special referee to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Edge came out to huge pop. Ziggler came out to a lot of heat. When he got to the ring, Vickie came out to MASSIVE heat. Tony Chimel started to announce the match participants and Vickie took the mic out of his hand and did some talking She did say that the spear was still banned, and Ziggler would become champion if Edge used it. The match was back and forth. Ziggler had control early on and had a couple near falls, which Vickie tried counting quickly. At one point, Edge had a nearfall and Vickie counted to two, then put Dolph's leg on the rope for a rope break. Eventually, both guys were on the ground, and Vickie went to a corner and started pulling her hair back and taunting Edge to get up (basically doing the same thing he does right before the spear). When Edge got up, Vickie ran at him and attempted a spear, but bounced right off his chest and she fell over. She played that she had hurt her leg, and a trainer came over and got her out of the ring.

While the trainer was working on her, Edge speared Ziggler and went for a pinfall, but there was no ref to count. after that, the crowd started chanting "We Want Clay!" in reference to Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who they realized was not in his seat behind the announce table. Edge then speared Ziggler again. All hell broke loose. Clay Matthews walked onto the ramp wearing a WWE referee shirt. He walked to the ring, and did the three count for Edge to retain his title. The crowd went INSANE when Matthews walked out...he even had the championship belt that WWE had given to the packer players.

After what will show on TV, Matthews and Edge had the rest of the Packer players in attendance and their families in the ring. They all had their belts and celebrated and the crowd went nuts. Edge talked about how the ring was full of World Champions. Edge and the players went back up the stage and left.

Ziggler was still on the floor by the ring. He pulled himself up and started talking smack about how the Packers suck and that they cheated to win the Super Bowl, and then cracking jokes about Green Bay itself. Edge then snuck in and speared Ziggler yet another time to send the crowd home happy. Tony Chimel thanked the fans for coming, and that was that.

[Rumblestiltskin]

I love the bit with Clay Matthews...

[TofuToeBucket]

Edge is still champion right? Cause when Edge Speared Dolph a second time Vicki was looking straight at Edge and started screaming at him. Then at the end of the episode Michael Cole was all like "DOLPH IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION, DOLPH IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION" soo yeah.

WWE Diva Rumored To Be Turning Heel

WWE creative has been discussing the idea of turning Smackdown Diva Kelly Kelly heel in the near future.

Kelly, who is said to be Vince McMahon's favorite Diva right now, has been working an angle with Edge, Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler on Smackdown and was recently "fired" from the show.

While no time table has been given for Kelly's turn, it's being said that Vince wants the Diva to make a dramatic "first heel turn" in the company as he currently views her as a the most marketable female in WWE.

NXT Season 5 Theme Discussed

The current plan for season 5 of WWE NXT is to pair rookies with their respective Legend Fathers. With so many second generation talents in the developmental system, the idea is that the Legend Fathers would be the pros, and the rookies would be their sons.

As of now, WWE has the potential to pair teams like Richie & Ricky Steamboat, Brett & Ted DiBiase, Bo & Mike Rotundo and more.

Cole can say, "DOLPH IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION" all he wants. Edge got the three count, while Vickie was too busy having a hissy fit on the floor. Edge is still the World Heavyweight Champion.

As Izzy has said, watch the video he posted.

Yeah, that's obvious. I think he's only pushing her because he thinks she'll sleep with him then...

Snuka's not all that impressive (to me), but Beth and Natalya, yeah, definitely. Even beyond that, they've got Gail Kim and Melina, Awesome Kong is supposed to be coming in some times. Even Layla is somewhat impressive in the ring. They have decent Divas...why push the trash in front of them?
