Alberto Del Rio greatly benefits from Ricardo's presence. It wouldn't surprise me if Ricardo became a highly over face, in the future.

Damien Sandow's theme rules. I'd kill to see him form a tag team with Daniel Bryan. The latter could revert back to his classical intro and could be a "refined comrade" of Sandow.

Ryback is slowly getting some tougher opponents. Slowly.

Glad to see that Camacho got some in-ring time.

Is WWE going to make "AJ slaps Kaitlyn" into a weekly segment?

Bryan's loss disappointed me.The problem wasn't that he lost, but that he lost to an injured Sheamus. If Bryan can get taken down by an injured man, how can anyone expect him to take on Punk? Outside of that, it was a good match that was hampered by its ending.

Well we've already seen Ricardo get some face reactions from the crowds. I have little faith they'll follow through though. For some reason his cross body in a tuxedo cracked me up.

boo hiss

- After the official WWE website transferred Dustin "Goldust" Runnels' profile from the RAW Superstars section to the Alumni section on Friday, PWInsider.com confirmed that he was released from his contract with the organization last week.

An undisclosed incident at the April 24 SmackDown taping in Grand Rapids, Michigan led to his contract being terminated. He had been working behind the scenes since suffering a shoulder injury in December 2010.

Just got home and am starting to watch RAW. Pretty standard heel opening promo by Johnny Ace getting a lot of heat from the fans and Cena chants from the crowd.

Cool seeing some of pics of Ace from when he wrestles in Japan. He was actually really good, if you haven't ever seen his matches from Japan they are worth checking out.

CM Punk out to confront Ace!

CM Punk vs Tensai tonight, could be a potentially good match up between the two of them.

Caught the excellent tag match between Orton/Sheamus vs Jericho/Del Rio

Cody vs Big Show IC title rematch.

Day 128.

Today I watched ROH on SBG from last Saturday. This was a great "go-home" show that did a superbly effective job of selling Saturday's iPPV.

The opener was Tommasso Ciampa vs. Matt Tavern. Tavern had a breakout match a month ago with Mondo and Ciampa is the undefeated guy in ROH. Ciampa has recently come into his own as a worker and developed into a hell of a talent. This match is excellent as you go in expecting it to be a squash, and it's not. And the thing is, Ciampa is competent enough that he doesn't suffer from selling or working a longer match, so the Goldberg-stigma won't hurt him. Ciampa wins, of course.

There's a great promo backstage with the House of Truth. Rhino really meshes in well here.

Next match is Mike Mondo vs. TJ Perkins and it's a bit of a snoozer. The real deal here is the set-up for the six-man on Saturday with TJ/ANX vs Mondo/Young Bucks. Inside ROH does a great job of hyping all of the matches, featuring some really good promos from the Briscoes, Mike Bennett, etc.

The main event is a good-ish match with Kyle O'Reilly vs. Kevin Steen. Steen wins, naturally, but the big stuff comes in the post-match segment with the beatdown, Davey making the save, the face-off, etc. Davey cuts a decent promo to end the show.

Match of the Day goes to Tomasso Ciampa vs. Matt Tavern.

Yeah that was absolutely a waste of time. Cody just runs off and gets counted out.

by **TROY** » Mon May 07, 2012 10:29 pm

I just cannot understand why Dolph Ziggler is not a permanent member of the main event scene.

by **TROY** » Mon May 07, 2012 10:33 pm

Damn good match between Ziggler and Kingston, but I believe Ziggler could have a good match with a bag of wet dog shit.

Also AW has signed Epico and Primo and is their new manager, looks like he might be getting Mason Ryan under his services as well.

I am sure that will be an intriguing storyline on Superstars.
