ECW On Sci-Fi

C.M. Punk vs. Hardcore Holly

Why does this win? Why does any match win? Hopefully, things will pick up after Wrestlemania.

WWE Friday Night Smack Down!
Matt Hardy vs. Mr Kennedy

WWE Smack Down! was the best show this week, aside from the pointless Batista crap. What's more so is that this match actually lasted for quite a while. They took a commercial break during it, and it wasn't even the main event!

My love for Matt Hardy and Ken Kennedy grows. This is easily my match of the week, especially since Matt Hardy pulled out the win.

WWE Friday Night Smack Down!

C.M. Punk vs. Mr Kennedy

Before I begin, I must admit that it's rather odd that I'm doing this for the 33rd straight week right now and it is also the week of 3/3. Hmm... There's something in those threes. I just don't know what it is.

Well, I have selected this match mainly by default yet again, but it comes with several interesting talking points.

First off, why does WWE.com only have one picture from this whole match, yet they have four or five pictures of MizTV? That makes no sense to me. Second, why are either of these guys losing clean so close to Wrestlemania? It's not really good for C.M. Punk to lose clean to Mr. Kennedy, as both are in Money In The Bank and now it just appears as if Punk will not be winning it. (Though he'd be my pick for favorite) Also, this is kind of an interesting match because it took C.M. Punk out of his element on ECW and put him onto Smack Down!. This just begs the question of what would happen in ECW were to go away. Well... I guess the answer is kind of obvious now and if C.M. Punk was still left under contract with WWE, he'd most likely just be a jobber on the Friday night show taped on Tuesdays. Why couldn't this have ended in a DQ or double count out or something? Why did it have to be clean?

It just shows me that WWE doesn't know how to effectively use C.M. Punk and should he get the chance, he should leave WWE as soon as possible. It was, however, still a good match, as both of these superstars are great athletes. I don't know. It was good and bad at the same time, and I suppose that is why it won. Also so WWE does not forget.

Lucha Libre on Galavision
Hell Brothers: Cibernetico, Chessman & Charly Manson vs La Secta: Cuervo, Escoria & Ozz
*Lucha en Juala(Cage Match)*

All right, I don't think I've ever had a match from Lucha Libre win this award, but it's about time one has. I have recently become obsessed (no joke) with Lucha Libre (AAA and CMLL) as it just seems to be so much more than what any other wrestling is offering me right now. It's partly because it has a very sport-like side to the wrestling factor, but then when it does have theatrics they are just kind of over-the-top crazy and not too much into the actual complex drama like WWE some times likes to do. It just reminds me of when WWE would have characters like Papa Shango and you wouldn't ask "How?", you'd just be along for the ride and enjoy it.

In any event, this six man cage match ended a three hour long show that I watched over the weekend. As far as cage matches go, it was fairly decent. They had the usual bumps that you would expect to be taken inside of a cage. The reason why I named this Match Of The Week, however, is because of the finish. Let me set the stage for you.

Basically, it's down to Escoria and Chessman. Escoria set up a table in the corner, but then was speared through it by Chessman. Chessman then set up this table looking thing (which either had thumbtacks on it or was just dirty) on top of some chairs in the middle of the ring. You basically knew someone was going off the top of the cage and through it. Chessman started climbing, and Escoria followed. You knew the winner would be going down outside the ring and the loser would be going down back into the ring and onto that table set up.

As they're fighting, out comes La Parka. La Parka climbs up the cage and nails Chessman with a chair. Chessman takes the huge bump through the table that he set up. (Why is it that whenever someone takes the time to set something up, they're usually the one to go through it?) Escoria climbs down and wins the match for his team. As all this confusion is going on with La Parka being at ring side and helping out, all of a sudden... ANOTHER LA PARKA COMES OUT! Apparently, that first La Parka wasn't the real La Parka and, rather, this one is. The two La Parkas get into a little bit of a pull apart and the second one to come out manages to rip off the first one's mask (the one who did the chair swinging) to reveal none other than... PSICOSIS. Well, he was formerly Psicosis in WWE, but he's known here as Nicho because there's another Psicosis or Psychosis out there in Mexico still only under a mask. So tensions build between La Parka and Nicho as the show closes.

I can't explain it, but seeing the match was good enough up until the second La Parka (the real one) came out. That was just something like, "Wow, why can't the promotions here have stories this good?" But then when they revealed Nicho (Yeah, I'm going to have to get in the habit of calling him that now)... It was just such a surreal moment. It gave me that feeling where I go, "That right there is match of the week!". Nothing else made me feel that way this week.
