Last Sunday and Monday was a busy two days for the WWE.  New champions were crowned in Alberto Del Rio, new WWE Champion, and Beth Phoenix, new Divas Champion, a controversial ending to Hell in a Cell courtesy of the Miz and R-Truth and one unprecedented walkout to end it all. 

The rest of the week was not as busy as those two days, but there was quite a bit more news that happened later in the week.  So let us rundown the biggest news from Smackdown and Impact Wrestling.

 

The WWE Walkout

Well we took a small look at the event now known as the Walkout in the last Silver Report.  There has been quite a bit of news involving this event that circulated throughout the week.  First piece of news was revealed on Smackdown as the over 50 superstars who walked out on Triple H have stated that they will only wrestle on Smackdown as long as the COO of the WWE is in control of Raw because Triple H has relinquished control of the brand to Teddy Long. 

The last two pieces of news was revealed on WWE’s official website.  First, Triple H has announced that John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, CM Punk and the Big Show will be one Raw.  Second, the over 50 superstars, referees, cameramen, announcers and divas have a Solitary Rally before Raw in order to allow their demand that Triple H step down as COO be heard. 

The situation has escalated even further as Triple H has said that even if the employees who walked out on him last Monday come to Raw, he will not let them in.  It seems that this situation will not be solved so easily. 

The fact of the matter is that Triple H brought this problem on himself.  Instead of trying to work out a compromise with the employees that walked out on him, Triple H has let his ego and personal feelings get in the way once again and added more fuel to the fire.  The COO of the WWE has played right into the hands of whoever is pulling the strings in the WWE.  Time is running out fast and Triple H is on the edge of losing this invisible power struggle.

 

Bobby Roode vs James Storm, The Untapped Potential

The main event match of Impact Wrestling this last week saw tag team partners face-off one-on-one, James Storm and Bobby Roode as part of the set of matches Angle set up for Roode.  What us wrestling fans laid witness to was one of the best singles bout TNA has put on in a long time. 

That was until TNA could not resist their ever-so-frequent urge to overbook a match.  A ref bump and some interference later, a great match was ruined.  At least those two showed us how great of a match they can put on. 

Considering that it most certainly looks like Roode will be leaving Bound For Glory with TNA World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, this writer has been thinking.  The best feud TNA can put together and they have been hinting at it for the last month now is a feud between James Storm and Bobby Roode for the TNA Title. 

The Impact after Bound For Glory, you have Beer Money team in the main event against Kurt Angle and another heel like Gunner or Bully Ray.  Beer Money wins the match and Roode and Storm celebrate with the title and some beers. 

While Roode celebrates with the title, Storm takes his empty beer bottle and smashes Roode in the face with it thus busting him open.  Storm would continue to beat down Roode, leaving the champion in a pool of his own blood as he stood over him with holding the TNA Title. 

Given a good story built on Storm’s jealousy for Roode, this feud could give TNA some good buzz for once.  Also if TNA resists their urge to overbook the match they eventually have, Roode and Storm will be able to bring some much-needed prestige to the seeming worthless TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

 

Sting vs Hulk Hogan, The Match Nobody Wanted

Two weeks ago on Impact Wrestling, Hulk Hogan announced that he was “retiring” from professional wrestling.  This last week, it was revealed that Hogan was fooling the TNA fans.  Seriously did you actually believe an old leech like Hulk Hogan would retire from wrestling?  Guess some people are just so gullible. 

Hulk Hogan got so pissed off by Sting revealing his ploy that he accepted that he would face Sting in the match that was already booked for Bound For Glory. 

Did Hogan believe he had a choice in this matter?  And now he will put TNA on the line.  So now if Sting beats Hogan and there should be no doubt that he will, Dixie Carter regains control of the company.  All in all, there is now another addition to the match that nobody wants to see. 

Does TNA Wrestling get that it is not 1999; Sting and Hogan are well far removed from their prime.  For this match to be anything more than a total crapfest, they need a miracle. 

This Sting vs Hulk Hogan Bound For Glory match has been rumoured since this past March and nobody, other than the blind hardcore TNA fans, has wanted it to happen.  Thank God that this match will not be the main event of Bound For Glory as we are in store for a match that could rival how horrible Jeff Hardy vs. Sting from Victory Road, but will definitely be 20 times longer.

 

World’s Strongest Man Meet the World’s Largest Athlete

On this past Smackdown, we say the return of the World’s Largest Athlete, the Big Show.  After a three month hiatus due to an ankle injury courtesy of Mark Henry, Big Show came back to Smackdown for one purpose.  That purpose is to get revenge on Mark Henry for injuring him. 

Mark Henry may have destroyed Big Show back at Money in the Bank, but this Big Show is not the same Big Show he beat back in July.  This Big Show is fueled by revenge and that makes the World’s Largest Athlete much more dangerous as demonstrated on Smackdown. 

When Mark Henry refused to give Show a World Title match at Vengeance, the WWEs resident took it upon himself to beat the holy hell out of the World’s Strongest Man.  Big Show chokeslammed the World Champion through the announce table and was ready to break Henry’s ankle when Teddy Long came out and gave Big Show what he wanted. 

Now at WWE Vengeance 2011, we will see Big Show vs Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Championship.  This writer is not that enthused about the match these two will have, but this title match should do wonders to legitimize Mark Henry as a dominant World Champion. 

Big Show will be Henry’s greatest challenge yet and with a decisive win over the World’s Largest Athlete, Mark Henry will seem absolutely unstoppable.
