WWE Smackdown Spoilers (12/7)

Posted by David Onda Categories: Action, Prime Time, Sports, The CW, Editorial, Features, News, Spoilers,

We saw a lot of really bizarre things on last few episodes of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. First we saw a disgusting make-out session between “The Rated-R Superstar” Edge and Vickie Guerrero, and then we saw the return of Teddy Long, which would ultimately lead to the making of a huge triple threat match between The Undertaker, Edge and Batista at Armageddon, with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Oh yeah, and this whole ECW/Smackdown talent exchange thing continues, so we can expect to see the boys of ECW as well.

Which superstar got speared so hard that he was out cold for five minutes? Find out in this week’s spoilers after the jump.

WWE RAW Reflections (12/3)

Posted by David Onda Categories: Action, Prime Time, Sports, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Editorial, Features, Spoilers,

WWE Monday Night RAW opens with “Y2J” Chris Jericho in the ring doing his whole “me want title shot” schtick. Jericho replays the video of WWE Champion Randy Orton accepting Jericho’s challenge for Armageddon. Orton comes out and it’s pretty much more of the same. The two get in each others faces - threat, threat, threat - and it almost comes to blows. Of course, Regal comes out and stops them. Orton and Jericho will pick each other’s opponents for the night. It would make sense for them to make Jericho face Flair. Now, that would be a good match. Instead, Jericho will face Umaga. Orton will face off against Shawn Michaels. Not bad main events!

After the jump, three WWE legends and an “Attitude Era” tag team make surprise “returns”!

Armed & Famous Gets the Axe

Seems the writing was on the wall for Armed & Famous from the get-go. As far as reality series go, this premise was a doozy. B-list celebs helping to keep the peace as police officers in Muncie, Indiana—well, I suppose there are worse reality shows on, but this one seemed particularly ill-fated. When the highlight of the short-lived series is watching celebrities get tasered, you know it’s got nowhere to go but down. And down it goes. After just four episodes, CBS has canceled the series. The show featured La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, Erik Estrada, Wee Man, and Trish Stratus. With stiff competition from American Idol how did the show even stand a chance? The debut episode drew 8.1 million viewers, but ratings quickly slid, and by the third week numbers were down to 5.8 million. If the cancellation has you feeling blue, fear not. VH1 will air the next episode this weekend; the remaining two episodes may make it to the music video network as well.

Midwest Town Worried About ‘Armed & Famous’ Celebs

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS,

Has anyone else checked out the latest reality show entry, Armed & Famous? Nah, me neither—and it has some folks in the town where it takes place a bit concerned. If you’re not familiar with it, Armed & Famous gives some B-list celebrities guns and minimal police training, then lets them hit the streets of Muncie, IN to enforce the law. While they are accompanied by real police offers, residents of the town are worried that the show will tarnish their reputation. And who wouldn’t be worried? The celebrities include Erik Estrada (who came the closest of the other celebs when he played a cop on CHiPs), La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, wrestler Trish Stratus, and Jackass star “Wee Man.” The show hasn’t received much love from critics either, with New York Post critic Linda Stasi saying, “Maybe they should have called it Armed & Stupid.” The highlight for Stasi was when the stars had to be hit with a 50,000 volt Taser stungun. Hmmm, maybe they should make a reality show out tasering celebs.
