SCHLOMEY RANKS THIS WEEK IN WRESTLING (ending 7/17)
Ok another mixed bag this week. Seemed like all the shows this week had good moments and tons of questionable ones. Anywho, on with the ranking.
4. WWE Monday Night RAW - 3 straight weeks at the bottom. This show was highlighted by the Randy Orton vs Edge match. However, the main event letdown & the Brady Bunch abortion was enough to make me question if I'll continue tuning in or not. I am actually getting upset at myself for tuning in week after week at this point.
3. NXT - Pretty weak show as a whole. We got a talk show & a Mark Henry match. The main event battle royal was pretty sweet (ran a lil long really) but the rest of the show was just background noise.
2. TNA Impact - Impact finally knocked down a spot after 2 straight weeks at number 1. Impact had good moments and matches but when it sucked...it really sucked. I actually liked the Knockouts brawl/match too. Kendrick vs Williams was a product of over booking but at least it was a good tv match. Having Lethal lose to Hardy right after going over Flair is dumb but again, at least it was a good tv match. The second half of impact had good matches....the ending was back to the unusual/sucky part of the program.
1. Smackdown! - Finally a Smackdown that quenched my thirst. I loved the entire show and even the Swagger/Kane shit was at least tolerable. The worst thing we had to endure was a mixed tag featuring Christ Masters...The rest of the show was spot on really.
