Chaos Awards Vol. 19

Greetings One and Everyone!

Edge returned at the Royal Rumble and is now heading to Wrestlemania!
Who would’ve thunk it? Apparently a lot of people!

At the moment, I’m trying out my new radio station so I apologize if this article does seem a little rushed. Although, you won’t really know that until you read it.

Anyway, onto brass tax.
I don’t have any because I drove… wait, what?
Weird. Let's start this!

Best Match – Royal Rumble
People are saying that this is one of the most predictable rumbles of this era. I disagree. Edge had a VERY speedy recovery. I haven’t known someone to come back from an Achilles injury in such a short amount of time.
Through a normal period of rest and healing, Edge should’ve been back around 2 weeks before Wrestlemania, not at the Royal Rumble which is about 7 weeks early. So I’m amazed at Edge’s remarkable comeback.
I am laughing at all of the people who said “Jericho will win!” or “Shawn Michaels will HAVE to win!”… then when Edge came out and won they all said “I knew that was going to happen.”
How about actually admitting what I am about to admit? I had no idea that Edge was coming back so early. If he was, its obvious that he is going to win. The injury comeback win at the Royal Rumble has been done plenty of times. In my mind, it never gets tiring. It’s only happened four times in the WWE’s history of the Royal Rumble: 1996, 2002, 2008 and 2010.
You all loved it when Triple H did it in 2002? We all loved it when Michaels came back in 1996 and won for the 2^nd year in a row… Why not now because Edge is back? Is it because he’s a heel? Is it because you are sick of seeing him at the top? Tell me what is wrong with you!!

Worst Match – MVP vs. The Miz (Royal Rumble)
Lamest Royal Rumble match ever.
The only time there was a finisher that was executed was after a very lame ass roll-up by The Miz and then Miz taunts MVP for about 25 seconds.
If I had Miz talking smack at me I’d want to punch his lights out too.
I’m still wondering why The Miz still has the US Title. I’m wondering what they are going to do with him?
It is good that he is the minor champion. His ego has had that major boost and I’m really annoyed by The Miz, which is his goal, and just with me he has accomplished his goal.
I’m annoyed by Miz but at the same time I’m intrigued about where he is going to go in his long reign as US Champion. I wonder if there is a face turn coming up?
As for MVP, how much more plateau are you going to get from a superstar? He arrived on Raw and went to Orton and basically said “You’re mine next!” and then… NOTHING!
Only just recently got another shot at the US Title… a title which he’s held for over a year combined in his previous reigns. One WWE Title shot in the last 18 months… What happened to MVP?
 
Best Performer – Ted DiBiase
This month is the month that DiBiase will either be made or crush under the weight of the pressure. Ted’s chance is right now. He will be headlining Wrestlemania at least this year, if not then next year.
I’m sure that DiBiase will be a 3 or 4 time WWE Champion in the next 5 years.
This is the destruction of Legacy and it has been caused by the one man that I didn’t think would be responsible.
Randy Orton.
I was sure it was going to be either Cody or Ted turning on each other but nope. I’m finally wrong about something. Randy attacking Cody and Ted after the WWE Title match after the Royal Rumble was very classic. It would’ve been so much better if Ted and Cody had fought back only to get RKO’d then Sheamus hits that Pump kick to bring Orton down leaving Legacy face down in the middle of the ring.
This is a fantastic moment for the WWE. It’s just at the point when everyone is giving Orton a pop and Legacy is starting to become a little too predictable. This is the moment that I have waited around for, for the last 3 months. Legacy is going to Wrestlemania… but not together!

Worst Performer – Yoshi Tatsu
It doesn’t take a genius to know how to jump over the top rope when someone clotheslines you to the floor. How is this handled? John Cena at his ever quick thinking best picks up Yoshi and tosses him over and out.
I understand that Yoshi has had a brilliant time on ECW. I don’t think that he’s really been able to release his full potential over the past few months.
If he is really going to be a great performer, he needs to get the new NXT Championship. I think he could do a lot with that. Especially with Goldust in his corner… oh wait, that can’t work. Because it’s the Next Generation… ah crap. Scratch that idea. He should get the NXT Title though. It would be a great run for him and it would give him the opportunity to work with someone else other than Trent Baretta and Caylen Croft.

Best/Worst Moment – Big Show Knocks Out the Referee
What a punch! You know those Daffy Duck cartoons where he gets shot in the face and his bill spins around his head? I bet that’s what this referee felt like after the run in with that fist.
I didn’t like how the match came to end, after all, this was the Main Event of Monday Night Raw. I would’ve preferred a clean win. But that punch just sold it for me. Wow.
”Hey Ref!” *holds up 4 fingers* “How many fingers am I holding up?”
”One… Two… Three… Four… Eleventy Hundred!”
Big Show complaining that he couldn’t see… Yeah. Even with you’re eyes squinted, that referee looks like an African Man with small Green and Yellow tights on. Yes I can see Big Show’s problem exactly.
At least he gets a bruise on his hand. He won’t be able to punch anyone for a while…

Best/Worst Promo – Vince and Bret
I’m wondering where this whole Vince and Bret thing is going.
On one side they are saying that Bret can work one full match and it will be Vince vs. Bret at Wrestlemania… but then other sources are saying that Bret CAN’T work a full match, so he’s going to have to tag with John Cena and Vince will team with Batista in a tag team match. THEN some sources are saying that Bret can’t wrestle AT ALL, so it will be John Cena with Bret Hart in his corner vs. Batista with Vince McMahon in his corner. So I wonder when they are going to make up their minds about Bret’s health. Because they have to make a decision soon, Wrestlemania is less than 8 weeks away.
So… either way, Bret Hart is going to Wrestlemania. It will be the first time that he’s competed in the WWE for over 12 years. I’m looking forward to seeing Bret in the ring again.

   And I don`t understand what you LIKE in that Rumble. One return doesn`t save a whole match of that size. 80% of that match - midcarders and such, were just thrown out of the ring by main eventers. The number of people in the ring was pretty low, no more than 6 wrestlers. So why do people like this? Because of Edge returning?

   but it wasn't a good rumble.. it was a pretty bad one... last year's was much better and more entertaining. This years' was a bad match and very predictable.

   R-Truth eliminating Show and Henry.

    It`s not about predictions. It`s about entertainment.

    I think the other 28 wrestlers shoulda just taken the night off. Ziggler Vs. Bourne woulda been a much better match... Yeah Edge, you are the greatest (to be read as sarcasm). Great article though Nem.

    I though that Edge of Chris Jericho was gonna win. I quite though that they we're not giving the win to Shawn. But let's face it the rumble had a few entertaining moments, but beside those few, it pretty sucked, I quite hated that when some midcarder like Yoshi Tatsu, Or Benjamin, would just come in hit a few moves and then they would just be eliminated, They should have letted them in for more. WWE is lazy.

    everyone knew Edge would return and win it, so yes it was predictable. It was bad because it was mostly main eventers making the eliminations. Edge doesn't deserve to win either. Is he superman? How could he come back from injury and just jump into the world title scene like that? What has he done over the past few Months? He was a forgotten memory that's come back to haunt us... He didn't deserve it and the winner should've been somebody who's worked for it.

    Just because Edge won the Rumble, does not neccesarily mean he will still have his shot at Wrestlemania. He could get a=in a feud with say, Jericho, with the Titke shot on the line. We still have 8 weeks til WM 26 and, hopefully (although I know it's unlikely) WWE will suprise us all!

    @123 (Comments 8, 17 & 27)
    
    I certainly didn't hear anything from (Quote) "LOTS of people" (Unquote) because of Edge and WWE.com stating that he would be back around Elimination Chamber/Wrestlemania. He had a bloody Achilles Injury, those things don't heal overnight. For him to make that recovery and return 1-2 months early is spectacular and surprising, no matter how much people "hype" him up.
    Well even with all of the hype, what if he DIDN'T return at the rumble? Then everyone who was hyping him would've just said "oh I knew he wasn't going to turn up.
    If you say "oh Edge is going to return" and then he doesn't... guess what? YOU'RE WRONG! Edge's return wasn't hyped by WWE or Edge himself. It was a complete rumour and speculation. People who said "Edge is going to return" made a lucky guess. Because if he didn't return, they would say one of four things.
    1. "Oh I knew he wasn't going to return."
    2. "Well he'll return at Elimination Chamber."
    3. "Well he'll return at Wrestlemania."
    4. "Oh well, I hate Edge. I don't care when he gets back."
    
    So everyone who guessed... because thats what it was... A GUESS that Edge would return, congratulations, you got lucky. I enjoyed this years royal rumble more than others. And that is MY opinion and no one elses.
    You want to talk about shithouse matches? What about The Miz and MVP for the US title?

    No Nem... you're wrong. At the time, about a week before the Rumble, there was leaked info that Edge would return at the rumble and the rumors were that Edge would win it, over 6000 people agreed to this rumor and the speculation could be found all over the net. It just wasn't reported here on TWG, that's all. So it was more than a guess, it was rumors based on leaked sources of info.

    Posted by 123 on Monday, February 15, 2010

    @123
    
    I'm wrong? Look at everyone who has agreed with me? And still does.
    Funny me being a reporter and all that. I never heard ONE THING from any of the major wrestling news partners.
    If it had been a news story ANYWHERE, I would've known about it and reported it.
    So if you actually had seen this report, why didn't you send it in to one or all of the reporters and make it a news story since that would've been BIG NEWS?! DEEEEERRRRR.
    
    Over 6000 people agreed to the rumor. Wow that leaves about 5.994 Billion people who either didn't care or disregarded this rumour.
    
    And before you say "where did you look." I look on the 5 most popular wrestling news sites INCLUDING WWE.com (which has nothing anyway). The point is, I didn't know about it. And it made for a MUCH MUCH better rumble because I didn't know.
    
    Oh and btw... if last years was more entertaining... when why was it THE MOST predictable rumble ever? I've watched every single Royal Rumble live since 2004. Never thought Benoit would win. Never thought Batista would win. Never thought Mysterio would win. Never thought Taker would win. Never thought Cena would return. KNEW THAT ORTON WOULD WIN! Never knew that Edge would return.

    Nem, with all the main eventers killing midcarders like flies, not only it wasn`t realistic, it wasn`t entertaining. And I really don`t care who predicted what. Period.
