Watch TNA Victory Road! Pro Wrestling News - Live On PPV Sunday, July 13th 2008

If you're looking for TNA Victory Road, then you've come to the right place! On this page you will find many in depth listings of the matches on the PPV, as well as what you can expect and predictions on the PPV! All right here at Pro Wrestling News Daily (or PWND, for the unaware).


Gail Kim vs. Angelina Love

This match and rivalry has been built up very well over the past month or so. I'm actually eager to see it. Hopefully the match gets at least 10 minutes, due to the amount of build up and TV time given to it on TNA Impact. All in all, it should be a good solid wrestling competition between two of the women who typify the TNA Knockouts Division.


Prediction: Gail Kim in 8 minutes after Velvet Sky's interference backfires


Taylor Wilde (c) vs. Awesome Kong - TNA Knockouts Title Match

Taylor Wilde unexpectedly upset Awesome Kong last Thursday on Impact, which prompted Jim Cornette to make this rematch for TNA Victory Road. Taylor has showed some degree of professional wrestling prowess, so the match should at least be exciting and well delivered. Anyone with half a brain knows that Awesome Kong is.. well, awesome.


Prediction: Awesome Kong regains the TNA Knockouts Title in 12 minutes after Raisha Saeed interferes


"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt

This feud has going on for what seems like forever in a mock up of the Randy Savage/Miss Elizabeth saga from the late 80's and early 90's. Let's hope that it ends here, because these guys have been drawing horrible ratings and really need to be used more effectively. Unfortunately, TNA Wrestling never listens to me and instead insists on crossing the line, so this feud will last another month or three.


Prediction: Sonjay Dutt picks up the win in 9 minutes after So Cal Val "accidentally" hits Jay Lethal with some sort of gimmick


World X Cup Tournament Finals

We'll get a fast-paced match with a bunch of spots, and it'll be fun. Hopefully TNA Wrestling ends up signing the Russian guy from Team International to a contract. Other than that, it is difficult to really predict the outcome of this match.


Prediction: Kaz ends up pulling down the X in around 16 minutes, giving Team TNA the win in the World X Cup


AJ Styles, Christian Cage & Rhino vs. Team 3D & Kurt Angle

This match is really a couple of feuds thrown together. AJ with Kurt Angle, and the tag team with the semi-tag team. The only thing that I'm not really certain of is just what the swerve will be in this match, but I think that I may have a pretty good idea of how this will end up. You see, SpikeTV does not allow TNA Wrestling to show violence directed towards women on their network. However on PPV, all bets are off.


Prediction: The match ends as TNA hoists Karen Angle and drives her through a table at about 19 minutes. As AJ Styles is mourning her fallen body and trying to make sure that she's alright, Kurt Angle comes up from behind him and delivers the Olympic Slam for the win.


LAX (c) vs. Beer Money Inc. - TNA World Tag Title Match

Beer Money Inc. is comprised of James Storm and Robert Roode, and they seem to have meshed well as a tag team thus far. However, I really think this feud needs more legs and that LAX should keep the belts. This is also a fan's revenge match, and I'm not even sure what that means.


Prediction: LAX wins in about 12 minutes. TNA Wrestling doesn't really care about their tag division. If they did, they'd push the Motor City Machine Guns.


Samoa Joe (c) vs. Booker T - TNA World Heavyweight Title Match

This match has had surprisingly little build up over the past few Impacts, which comes across as very odd. Sting has also made his presence known multiple times throughout the last few weeks. Samoa Joe's building tensions with Kevin Nash have been evident.


Prediction: Booker T captures the TNA World Title in about 22 minutes of on again, off again wrestling. The finish comes when Kevin Nash tries to interfere on Samoa Joe's behalf, but Joe refuses. Nash takes out his frustrations on Joe. Sting is there too, and does something to anger Booker T. Booker T celebrates with the TNA Title in the ring with Sting looking on, while Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash brawl all over the place.


And that's the end of the show! Check back often and soon for more Pro Wrestling News Daily updates!

John Cena WWE Pro Wrestling News: Cena Has 6-Year-Old Sense of Humor

Last week live on national TV on WWE RAW, John Cena came out during the opening segment and immediately started cracking jokes about spending hours in the bathroom and such. It was ridiculous enough, but his crude sense of humor (or how he's scripted) is just something we have to get used to. Right? Right?


Alright then, later in the show, John Cena came out again with Cryme Time in order to settle a score with JBL. He destroyed JBL's limo piece by piece, which while slow and plodding in implementation was alright writing and scripting as far as it goes. Unfortunately, then John Cena got a spray can out, and proceeded to spray paint "Poopy" across the hood of JBL's trashed limo.


...


Are you !@#(%"* serious?!? Poopy?!?! Who the hell on the entire planet thinks that is funny or amusing or credible or intimidation or anything?!@$ Who thinks that will "put asses in seats," as they say in the business.


If Cena was scripted to do that, then that's retarded. If he did it on his own and of his own volition, then he's retarded.


WWE really needs to stop it with their "Kids First" crap, though. WWE has recently begun marketing heavily to kids and children, which has gone a long way in alienating their core fans as the WWE wrestling programing has devolved from a serious and athletic display to childish buffoonery and... well, poopy.


Come on, WWE. Cut the crap out. Get serious, show some wrestling, and for the love of all things holy and heretical, John Cena, stop being a douche.

Pro Wrestling News - WWE Raw Highlighted by CM Punk Winning World Title

Last night's WWE RAW was almost surreal. It was the first post-draft RAW of 2008, and I have to admit, I found myself watching.


In the opening segment, JR came out. He gave a heartfelt sounding goodbye that dragged on a bit too long. He's moving over to commentate on Smackdown. Finally, Edge came out and told good 'ol Jim Ross to scram, and told him that now he has to get used to saying "Edge wins! Edge wins! Edge wins!"


Edge cut a really good heel promo about how he would never defend the belt against a WWE RAW Superstar again. Batista came out, the man he faced at Night of Champions. Batista beat down Edge, leaving him in the ring after a Batista Bomb. As Batista walked to the back, CM Punk's music hit and he sprinted out with a referee and that famous Money in the Bank briefcase.


After a short delay for a ring introduction, they rang the belt. CM Punk picked up a prone Edge, dropped him with the GTS and pinned him 1... 2... 3! CM Punk wins! CM Punk wins! CM Punk wins! What a great moment. CM Punk won the World Title! I doubt that in his childhood dreams he envisioned winning it in 8 seconds, though.


WWE is really shaking things up, and that's good. They need to keep no general manager on RAW. That's right, none. No GM at all. Seriously. It's old. They need to transition away from the brand split completely, or start taking it seriously where competitors only compete on their own brands.


And they should let CM Punk keep the WWE World Title. Let him run with it for 4-5 months, see how it goes, what happens. Hopefully the numbers go up. Moreover, WWE needs to continue pushing their younger stars.


Kofi Kingston is green, but he's near ready, and I'm very glad that he's on RAW. Even with Ted Dibiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes, WWE is showing that they're willing to take chances with young blood - so long as the ratings and PPV buys reflect it in the end. And so it is now that I call out to you, faithful wrestling fans of the internet. Go out and buy WWE products. Watch their shows and get your friends to watch. Buy merchandise of the younger, new stars. And beyond everything, buy the next PPV, Great American Bash. If the PPV buyrate is simply huge for CM Punk's first PPV Title defense, they will have no choice but to acknowledge what the fans really want.


Oh, did I mention that Jamie Noble kicks ass? Kid makes me laugh every time...


Until next time!
