The Trifecta Of Chaos.
The last of WWE’s new conceptual PPVs for the year is Tables, Ladders, & Chairs (TLC), an event that promises one Tables Match, one Ladder Match, one Chair Match (seriously…we have such a thing as a Chair Match now?) and of course a combination of the three in a TLC match. While the PPV looks somewhat interesting, I think WWE should slow down on their events towards the end of the year and give their superstars a break. That’ll give the Royal Rumble an even bigger boost. But anyway, since this is definitely happening, I’m looking forward to the DX / Jeri-show battle. I was almost certain that Jeri-show would drop the championship belts but now I’m not so sure. Batista / Undertaker looks interesting although I’m sure ‘Taker will hold on to the title. A lot of people think Sheamus is going to win. I don’t think so, and I don’t think he deserves the championship so soon. He’s a pretty awesome superstar, yes, but he needs some more climbing to do before he enjoys that belt around his waist. TLC isn’t too far away so get to downloadin’!

So it begins. We’re at the end of 2009 (it went by so fast, didn’t it?) and the hype for Royal Rumble 2010 has started. And with it comes the official beginning of the road to WrestleMania 26. All that aside, the promotional or inDemand poster for the Rumble looks kinda’ bad despite the fact that it’s bombarded with WWE superstars. Maybe the poster’s too white, maybe it doesn’t have as much color as it should, or maybe it’s just because it looks easily done. I expected more. This probably isn’t the final poster, though, since there’s still time and WWE may decide to pull off something more unique by then. My early predictions? It’s time for the new breed to shine. One of the up and coming superstars (Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, etc) is going to get their golden opportunity to headline WrestleMania 26 and seal their place at the top of the food chain. That’s what I think.

Woah, now that’s one ugly looking poster. Seriously, it looks like a preschooler was trying his skills at design work. I’m not sure why WWE picked this picture to hype their event when [a] Edge is still injured and is a few months away (at least) from returning to the ring, [b] Undertaker looks beat-down and (un)intimidating, and [c] there are loads of other images that depict a TLC match way better. I like the CM Punk poster a lot more than this piece. Looks very rushed and gives us a sense that even WWE doesn’t care about some of their own events anymore. Anyway, it’s still a poster…I just cant find one good thing to say about it!

CM Punk is featured on the poster for WWE’s brand new pay-per-view event, TLC, obviously branding all main events under Tables, Ladders, and Chairs rules. I think it would have looked better if more superstars were featured on the poster instead of just one; CM Punk looks kinda’ odd jumping around all by himself. Still, it’s a unique looking poster. Not any of the best this year, but not bad either. Click the image for the full sized image.

Survivor Series is always one of my favorite shows and this year’s looks like it’s going to be one heck of a ride! Two Triple Threat matches for the two most coveted prizes in the business; both matches pitting tag-teams against each other. Will Chris Jericho and Big Show beat each other to a point where it’s just impossible to coexist anymore, bringing jeopardy upon their Unified Tag Team Championship status? And can Degeneration X coexist as promised with both Triple H and Shawn Michaels working as a unit, or will their egos tear them apart as they eye the WWE Championship? Then there’s ‘the Great Betrayal’, or what I call the awesome turn of Batista from ‘best friend in the whole wide world’ to ‘unleashed beast that’s been behind bars for way too long’. There’s just so much happening at Survivor Series this year that there’s a very low chance of it not being epic. Here’s the wallpaper for the show, stylized according to this year’s theme (as seen on the microsite). Download, decorate, and of course…enjoy!

It’s a shame that Jeff Hardy had to leave WWE during the very peak of his illustrious career, a time when he was called ‘the hottest commodity in WWE right now’ and a time when he was boiling hot with potential. But then again if he had been a part of the company when his home was raided, he’d have been let go by now anyway…which is worse because rehiring him and trusting the ‘daredevil athlete’ with major angles would have been difficult for the company. Anyway, backstage stuff aside, Hardy is an awesome superstar. The personality, the charisma, the work with the facepaint, and the visual impact is what made Jeff Hardy a bigger superstar than anyone would have foreseen and this wallpaper shows you just that! I wouldn’t really call Jeff Hardy a Alumni name but he isn’t signed with any other wrestling organization either so I guess I’ll categorize him under Alumni for now. Download and put the Enigma on your screens!

The Battle for Brand Supremacy Begins.
Here’s the wallpaper for WWE’s new conceptual PPV, Bragging Rights, which makes it debut this Sunday on Pay-Per-View. The PPV looks interesting enough with a massive 7-verus-7 Raw vs. SmackDown! acting as the show’s main event. What confuses me is that Survivor Series is only about a month away and what’s a traditional 10-Man Tag Team Match compared to a huge 14-Man Interbrand Tag-Team battle for ultimate brand supremacy? Only thing I can think of is that the 7-on-7 ends with all superstars from Raw and SmackDown! invading the ring and the show ending with an all-out no contest brawl.

Even more interesting is the fact that this could be John Cena’s last night as a Raw superstar. I have a feeling he’s heading over to SmackDown! for the time being. Should be interesting to see how all this unravels. I’m almost certain that either Undertaker will retain his championship at Bragging Rights OR Batista will be crowned the new champion. I would have preferred a singles match between ‘Taker and CM Punk, though. And of course there’s the ‘Dirt Sheet’ match between Morrison and Miz. I’m sorry to say this but Morrison is on a much faster (and more successful) road to superstardom. Anyway, download the wallpaper for WWE Bragging Rights and decorate your screens!
