Mickie James vs Natalya

Mickie's first match on Smackdown was not going to be easy, as she took on the Women's World Champion, Natalya. Mickie gave the champ all she could handle, nearly scoring the major upset with a big roundhouse kick, called the Kiss Goodnight. Natalya rallied though, and when Mickie missed on a diving senton, the Canadian Destroyer capitalized, locking in the Pin-Up Strong submission hold and forcing the newcomer to tap out.

Winner: Natalya


Tyson Kidd vs Christian

Both members of the tag title match on Sunday were in action, with their partners watching on at ringside. Captain Charisma wasted no time getting going, as he had and Tyson began brawling right away. Both men put on a show for the Smackdown fans, going back and forth with impressive offensive maneuvers, with Christian eventually getting the upper hand. Obsessed to prove he doesn't need Edge to win, Christian connected on a Spear, but not using his own move hurt him, as Kidd kicked out just before three. Christian lost his cool, slapping Kidd several times, firing up Tyson, who then connected with a Code Blue. It would've been over then and there, but Edge saved his buddy, distracting the referee. Christian finally got his head straight, and used his own move, the Killswitch, but it was Cesaro who helped his tag team partner out, distracting the official. Christian went after the King of Swing, and Kidd capitalized, looking to put Christian away. However, Christian had one more trick up his sleeve, rolling up Tyson with a small package to get the three count. Christian may have won tonight, but when Cesaro and Edge are involved on Sunday, will it be a different story?

Winner: Christian

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
