TNA Sacrifice 2009 Preview




TNA Sacrifice is this weekend and it should be a good one. Here's who I'm picking to win in each match.

Mick Foley over Jeff Jarrett, Sting and Kurt Angle in a Four Way Ultimate Sacrifice Match for the TNA Title
Booker T over A.J. Styles for the Legends title
Suicide over Daniels to retain the X Division title
Awesome Kong over Angelina Love for the Knockouts title
Beer Money over the British Invasion to win the Team 3D Tag Team Invitational
Samoa Joe over Kevin Nash
Taylor Wilde over Daffney in the Monster's Ball
Amazing Red over Kiyoshi

After the PPV is over, I'm expecting the feud between Foley and Jarrett to intensify and to lead to a singles match for the TNA title between the two at Slammiversary.

The question about whether Bobby Lashley will join the Main Event Mafia should also have some more answers.

On paper, this is a good card and I expect it to be a decent show.

WWE Judgment Day 2009 Preview




Judgment Day is here once again with some exciting matches but unfortunately, nothing of significance is going to happen. There are four title matches, but if all goes according to plan, all four champs should retain.

Randy Orton defends his WWE title against Batista. Batista has lot so many title matches over the years that every time he challenges for one, it's so obvious that he won't win. Orton will retain.

Over on Smackdown, Edge defends the World title against Jeff Hardy. These two have had some spectacular matches agaonst each other, but Edge should win to set up a potential feud with the Undertaker.

Christian defends the ECW title against Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio defends the IC title against Chris Jericho. Expect both champs to retain.

Here's my picks for the rest of the card:

John Cena over Big Show
CM Punk over Umaga
John Morrison over Shelton Benjamin

BSE: A Night of Kryme Recap


This was my first BSE Pro show and it was a lot of fun. The Ontario indie guys are all hard workers and it showed as they all worked really hard.

Kryme Tyme's return to the ring after a five-year hiatus was a lot of fun to watch. He teamed with TNA's Matt Morgan to take on Jason Sensation's Reflections of Perfections (Flesh and Vlad the Penetrator). Flesh hurt his knee at the end of the match and will be out a few weeks so I hope he's okay.

The biggest surprise of the show was seeing Sinn Bodhi (formerly known as Kizarny in WWE) make an unannounced appearance. I got to talk to him at the merchandise table and he's a cool guy.

My favourite match of the evening was a mixed tag team match pitting Robert Roode and Traci Brooks against Robbie McAllister and Taylor Wilde. All four worked hard to put on a good match.

I had the chance to talk to Kryme Tyme after the event and he told me he's going to try to bring BSE to Port Perry for another show before the end of the summer.

If you're a wrestling fan and live in the Greater Toronto area, it's well worth the drive to see some of the best wrestlers perform, so come on out when you hear about BSE coming to your area.

Blood Sweat and Ears Presents: A Night of Kryme



Hi everyone. Sorry that it's been a while since I last wrote a post. I've been busy with my work placement. Anyways, I'm back so let's get back to wrestling talk.

I want to use this post to talk about a charity wrestling event coming to Port Perry, Ontario.

For those wrestling fans living in Ontario and the surrounding provinces and states, you may be familiar with Blood Sweat and Ears (BSE) Pro Wrestling. BSE has been one of the more successful Ontario indie promotions as it features many up and coming wrestlers as well as established veterans. Various well-known names who have grappled for BSE in the past include Lance Storm, Abyss and Christopher Daniels.

BSE will be at the Scugog Arena in Port Perry this Sunday (May 10) at 3 p.m. for a charity show entitled 'A Night of Kryme'. This show will mark the in-ring return of former WCW and OVW developmental talent (and Port Perry resident) Kryme Tyme.

For those who remember Kryme Tyme, he wrestled as a developmental wrestler for WCW several years back. The highlight of his career was wrestling in Nitro and Thunder matches against Scott Hall and Billy Kidman. Kryme Tyme also wrestled a lot on the Ontario indie scene.

Kryme Tyme teamed up with BSE to bring this event to Port Perry to raise donations for several local charities to honour his father, who was a big supporter of his wrestling career and died two years ago because of cancer.

Aside from Kryme Tyme, several BSE regulars, such as Kobra Kai and Tyson Dux will be appearing. Also, many TNA stars, including Robert Roode, Taylor Wilde and Matt Morgan, will be on the card too.

I had the chance to interview Kryme Tyme about this event. You can see them here and here.

For info on the event, go here.

I'll be at the show covering it for the local paper and I'll have a recap post on it next week.

Cheers.
