WWE Night of Champions

With a cheeseburger in one hand and a Corona that’s almost finished in the other, I took the time away from my BBQ to check out WWE Night of Champions.

There was so much speculation about who would be the tag team partner that Chris Jericho chooses. Who in their right mind would have guessed that the Big Show would’ve who Jericho chooses to be his partner. Nearly dropped the burger, I was so shocked. They went up against Legacy in a match for the unified tag team championship belt. Legacy wouldn’t have been able to beet Jericho and Edge, (Jericho’s original partner, until Edge suffered an injury requiring surgery) let alone Jericho and the Big Show. Honestly, this is a shocker. Jericho and Mr. RKO Randy Orton was the first tandem that came to mind. Then Shawn Michaels, and then maybe the return of a wrestler i.e. Chris Masters. (Hint Hint)

Jeff Hardy is back on top of the championship mountain. He defeated the newly turned heal (bad guy in wrestling) CM Punk. Finally, or at least for the time being, we are done watching this joke of a champ. He just fits the mold of an Intercontinental champ. Punk literally lacks the charisma it takes to be a successful champion and a heal at that. But Hardy on the other hand has the flare and the charisma that goes with being a champion. Isn’t he now the youngest to hold both the WWE championship and the World Heavyweight championship? Answer, yes he is. But back to last night. Punk’s eye “injury” wasn’t the case; Jeff Hardy was just faster, smarter, just plane old better. This is why he’s now on top and everyone on the Smackdown roster is looking up at him. But don’t get too comfortable Mr. Hardy, because one John Morrison is looking over your shoulders.

Now if you saw Monday night Raw, you see that Randy Orton is still the WWE champion. How in the world is he still champion? Did HHH and John Cena lie down and let Randy win? Not likely. Of course Randy did his in ring thing by getting these wrestlers off their game for a bit, but like the afore mentioned Hardy, Orton was just better, but also you know his lackeys Legacy interfered in the match. But if we know Orton, he’ll confess to one thing, he is still the WWE champion.

Im not going to spoil your appetite, especially if you didn’t watch Night of Champions yourself, your going to just have to order it and watch. That’s if you want details and to see what move connected where. Until next week, make sure you scratch your sports itch.
