• Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors – WWE & TNA

As a fan I have always been naturally drawn to cheering for heels and booing faces, now maybe I have the WWE backwards but it just seems to me that heels are far more entertaining to watch, so I have decided to showcase the heels of the WWE in all their cheating and underhanded glory with this weekly heel report.

This week’s top ten:

1st Place: Randy Orton

A stellar performance at Hell in a Cell, resulted in the Legend Killer winning the WWE title once again, and more importantly won him first place in the chart. The expression on Orton’s face when he locked in that choke on Cena was nothing short of manic, a heel performance worthy of the full ten points. (10/10 points)

2nd Place: Ted DiBiase

Close behind his Legacy mentor is the son of the Million Dollar Man. Sporting a new mean streak and a massive shiner from his Hell in a Cell match, DiBiase looks to be breaking away from his days as an underling and moving on to a promising singles career before his movie release. (9/10 points)

3rd Place: Chris Jericho

Again sheer persistence keeps Jericho near the top of the chart this week, despite backing down on Raw and losing twice the self-righteous preacher man retained his tag titles and appeared so many times that it was impossible for him to drop lower than third place. (8/10 points)

4th Place: The Miz

An interesting week for the Miz, a title win on Raw after a loss at a pointless PPV. I’m not sure what message WWE creative are trying to send with the Miz but still a title win is a title win and he gets an awesome seven points. (7/10 points)

5th Place: C.M. Punk

All the way down in fifth place is the former Straight-Edge champion this week after losing his title at Hell in a Cell. A good performance, if a little strange being put first on the PPV, perhaps this was part of a punishment for his attitude backstage but still he got a win over Batista on Smackdown so he can’t be in the doghouse too much. (6/10 points)

6th Place: Cody Rhodes

The final Legacy member comes in sixth, despite being massacred in the Cell the dominance of Michaels beforehand cannot be ignored and many heel points go to the future star for the merciless beat down. Now the only question is how long is it before he returns to our screens? (5/10 points)

7th Place: William Regal

Proving that temporary GM really does mean temporary, the distinguished English gent finds himself at odds with seemingly the entire ECW locker room in his quest to become ECW champion. But with the back up that Regal has it doesn’t matter how many superstars rise up against him, it still won’t be long before he gets his hands on the title. (4/10 points)

8th Place: Big Show

The Big Slow seems to be fitting into the fixed role of ringside enforcer recently, running interference while his partner does all the real in-ring work. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but it’s strange that now that Show has seemingly gotten into some kind of shape that he is stepping back from his in-ring action and playing more a ‘giant back up’ role. (3/10 points)

9th Place: Jack Swagger

Not winning the US title at Hell in a Cell was not the worst thing for the All-American American as that route will always be available for a superstar with an epithet like that. Instead he has a new lease on life vowing to remain undefeated for the rest of the year. Let’s see how long he will last. (2/10 points)

10th Place: Dolph Ziggler

Last place goes to the Platinum Playboy as he manages to blow two shots at the IC title in the same week. It’s strange how the Miz was treated to the same and yet was allowed to win on the second try and yet Ziggler, who arguably has gotten a much better reception than the Miz, is still being left in the cold. (1/10 points)

Overall top ten:

* 1st Place – Chris Jericho: 191/230

*2nd Place – Randy Orton: 155/230

*3rd Place – C.M. Punk: 126/230

*4th Place – Dolph Ziggler: 101/230

*5th Place – The Miz: 97/230

*6th Place – Jack Swagger: 75/230

*7th Place – Edge: 69/230

*8th Place – The Big Show: 58/230

*9th Place – William Regal: 52/230

*10th Place – Ted DiBiase: 47/230

Weekly Filler:

The Face-Off: John Cena

What is it this week? Well it’s his proclaiming that his and Orton’s rivalry is epic. I personally like the rivalry because I’ve always been an Orton fan and Orton is over enough with the company to beat Cena clean like he did at Hell in a Cell, and seeing Cena lose always makes me happy. Also both those guys came in at the same time and are now main eventers, and whether we like it or not they are the new generation’s Rock and Austin. Now before you raise pitch-forks and torches against me I’m not saying that they are as good, only that they are the equivalent, in much the same way that Big Show is the equivalent to Andre the Giant. It’s not that they are equal, just that the kids of the kids who grew up with Rock and Austin are growing up with Cena and Orton, and that means something.

But still, I don’t need to be told this. There is such a thing as being humble, and Cena shows week in and week out that he truly does believe his own hype and spouts rubbish about all his rivalries being the greatest of all time. Someone really needs to check his ego before it chokes him to death with his own pomposity.

The Face-Off: Michael Cole

That’s right, not ‘Face the Facts’ this week, I’ve booted it to have a go at everyone’s most hated announcer; Michael Cole. What happened to you man, you used to be cool? Seriously the whole ‘one ignorant wrestler and one smart geeky announcer’ doesn’t work if the smart one is just as ignorant as the wrestler. Seriously all these two can do right is go on and on about ogling the divas, who really aren’t that good looking anymore anyway. I honestly cannot stomach hearing Cole talk for too much longer, the WWE really do need some new blood, and soon before we all tune out.

On the Rise: Drew McIntrye

Wow the WWE really do have faith in this not-so-newcomer to Smackdown, I’m still not too sure why but hopefully we will see in the coming months. With a PPV match slot that high up it seems like we will certainly be given plenty of chances to make up our minds.

Flat-Footed: Drew McIntyre

Yes that’s right I’m putting the young Scottish upstart here as well. Come on, seriously, what idiot thought it would be a good idea to put a guy this new in a slot that high in Hell in a Cell and with an opponent like R-Truth? It makes no sense. All that I can think is that they meant to have McIntyre-Truth first and then some terrible booking mix up left us with what we got. Or possibly McMahon has a bet on with someone that he can get McIntyre to the top in a couple of months and this is the best way he thought he could do this. Only problem is I’m not sure wrestling is like teaching your child to swim, if you chuck them in the lake too soon they will drown, and it looks like McIntyre is gasping for air to me.

Crossing the Line: Motor City Machine Guns

More complaints come from TNA this week as right before their biggest PPV of the year and they seem to have decided to leave arguably one of the best tag teams going at the moment off the show. Why is this? Clearly they have the ability and are massively over with the fans and yet they barely ever appear on the show and never wrestle anymore. Can someone enlighten me as to why this is? Because I just can’t make heads nor tails of what TNA management are doing.

Three title changes this week and yet Ziggler still has no gold, it just doesn’t make sense to me. The WWE could have at least give him and Morrison McIntyre’s slot on the PPV, that might have made more sense. Crazy times, this is James Wright signing off.
