Chaos Awards Vol. 20

Greetings One and Everyone!

Welcome to the 20^th Edition of the Chaos Awards!

I thank you all for tuning in to read my 2000 words of drivel that I call an article every week. It has been a pleasure writing to you and I hope that I have many many more to come!

Anyway, as usual, onto business!

Best Match – Chris Jericho vs. The Undertaker
Wait. Is Edge a Face, Tweener or Heel? Because he doesn’t like Jericho, yet he speared Taker and… I don’t get it! Runs into a wall from confusion.
Thank heavens we finally get a main event on Smackdown that is more than just mildly entertaining. I could have Edge on commentary all night. Why didn’t he come back and replace Jim Ross when JR got sick?
Anyway, next week is Edge vs. Batista. I’m actually looking for to and NOT looking forward to this match. I’m looking forward to it because it is Edge return match in singles competition. I’m not looking forward to it because he’s facing Batista.
Why can’t Edge take on someone who has actually been credible in the last few weeks/months? Like Rey or Ziggler or McIntyre?
I think the Main Event of next weeks Smackdown will be a sleep fest. Batista with the early offence. Stare down. Slow moments. 6 minutes later, Edge gets the upper hand. Edgecution, Kick out at 2. Misses Spear. Batista gets more on the upper hand, Edge counters, Spear. Pin.
Not hard…

Worst Match – Drew McIntyre vs. Kane (Smackdown)
What the hell does this match actually achieve?
To prove that Drew McIntyre is a soft little girl who wants to run away from the Big Red Monster?
Honesty, Drew can be a good champion. Just give him credible matches. I’m not saying that Kane isn’t a credible opponent… I’m saying that making a Double Countout for a match against Kane isn’t a credible match with a credible opponent. I mean who is Drew trying to become? Dolph Ziggler?
I think Kane has been in more Countout matches in the last 6 weeks than any other superstar has in their entire career!
Kane is never going to get a good push. So why put him in these types of lame matches? He’ll be retiring soon… at least give him the respect that he’s deserves.
Give him the IC Title. Let him hold it for at least 3 months. Then turn him heel and give him a decent rivalry with someone.
It’s what most of us want to see.
Note: After typing this I have just learnt that WWE has announced a new match at Elimination Chamber. Drew McIntyre vs. Kane for the Intercontinental Championship.
Wow. Can I pick it or WHAT?! Thank heavens that the WWE finally listens (somewhat).
 
Best Performer – The Miz
Well, now we know who is going to be bed buddies now on Raw. The Miz and Big Show. Just like Chris Jericho and Big Show, they are going to boast and call themselves Big and AWESOME!
I’m not really looking forward to their tag run, but I am interested to see how The Miz goes on with this. I’m trying to think if this is Big Show’s face turn or The Miz’s even deeper Heel run.
I will admit that The Miz has become a better performer in the last two years, but he really needs to get rid of that US Title. That or keep it and let the WWE reintroduce the Cruiserweight Championship and make it a title that has to be defended on all three brands.

Worst Performer – Hulk Bogan
That isn’t a Typo. I mean to call him Hulk Bogan.
Hulk and Eric Bitchoff are destroying TNA. They are making me turn away from the product that I want to watch. I want to like TNA. I really do. But NOT when they take a dump in the middle of the ring every week.
Having the attack on Kurt Angle at the end of TNA just reinforced the fact that Hogan wants to put the old guys over, then screw over those old guys and put himself on top. They don’t want to push the young stars. The new stars that have the MOUNTAIN of potential but no platform to launch off.
The Motor City Machine Guns and Beer Money Inc. are my points in question.
These guys are brilliant in the ring. Beer Money is getting a backward push because Bitchoff doesn’t think that they are Main Event stars and MCMG’s are getting held back because they didn’t want to cut in a match against Team 3D.
You have got to be kidding me. Four of the best guys in the business (and two of the best tags in the business) and they are getting a backwards push? Someone explain to me how that is supposed to benefit us and the industry as a whole?

Best/Worst Moment – Yoshi Tatsu & Goldust becoming #1 Contenders
Oh man. Can someone say SQUASH MATCH!?
This is going to be really bad for ECW. If Yoshi and Goldust win, it will be one of the upsets of the century.
Anyway, I think this may just me a match to either split up Goldust and Tatsu for the end of ECW, OR be the platform for Yoshi and Goldust to stick together and become a good tag team and go to Raw or Smackdown and feud with Miz and Show for a while.
I’m predicting something terrible… very terrible… Which will be a really bad ending to a really bad match.

Worst Promo – John Morrison breaking his ankle work over
Sorry if you didn’t know this, but it was reported that Morrison broke his ankle in three places on Smackdown. He must have made a miraculous recovery because he wrestled against Matt Hardy at a House Show and looked like he could jump over a moving bus that was covered in tartar sauce and was somehow on fire.
If the WWE wanted Morrison out of the chamber match so the new “crazy” HBK could enter in… why not just turn HBK heel and make him attack Morrison?
It would’ve been better than wasting 5 minutes of airtime like they did.
Run in, causing a DQ. Superkick. A few steel chair shots to the knee. Easy work! Not this work over crap from Morrison’s twitter!
It’s not entertaining if this is the way that the WWE is going with this. If Morrison turns up to Smackdown in a wheelchair or in a cast or something to say “I have a broken ankle and I can’t be in the Elimination Chamber at Wrestlemania” I won’t watch the rest of Smackdown.
That will just make me want to hurl fridges at little passing kids on tricycles. Or throw unsuspecting grandmas into oncoming traffic.
 
Question: Hello The Nemesis, Congratulations on 20 Chaos Awards! I want to ask you who you think the Future stars of the WWE are?
Well I have a few ideas for this.
Firstly, Ted DiBiase. This is his month. He will either make or break himself in this month and I hope that he shines and becomes the new WWE Champion.
Drew McIntyre. The Scottish lad who is the current Intercontinental Champion. I believe that he has the potential and the ability to have a great reign as IC Champion, but not if 9 out of every 10 matches that he has… SUCK!
Cody Rhodes. United States Championship OR another Tag Team Title reign by Summerslam.
Evan Bourne. Put this guy in a Main Event role and he will deliver! Move him to Smackdown where he can really take hold of his talent!
But I’m going to narrow the future of the WWE down to 3 words.
I AM PERFECTION!!
YES! Dolph Ziggler!
Everyone is now wondering why. Because he is the brash young cocky heel kid who has the physical prowess and technique that comes with wrestling, as well as the looks. If only he had the brains.
Thing is, he has.
He has been a fan of wrestling since he was 5 and made the decision to become a wrestler at age 12. He’s custom made to be a wrestler.
I’ve said it time and time again… Dolph should’ve been Intercontinental Champion. Dolph would be a better Champion than Drew. Hands down.
Dolph Ziggler for Money in the Bank to use it on John Morrison after TLC 2010.

   Nice article Nem. Not sure i'm with you on The Miz being best performer, but i completely agree on the rest. ESPECIALLY that Dolph Ziggler is the Future of the WWE. Vince needs to stop looking passed Nick Nemeth, he (like Orton and AJ) has everything one needs to make it big in the industry.

   Agree with most of this just a comment..
   
   If WWE is going to bring WWE NXT I think it's a good excuse to bring back the cruiserweight title.... and the first match that I'd like to see is a Fatal 4 Way for the cruiserweight Title and a chance to become a "mentor" in WWE NXT.. John Morrison...vs.. R-Truth...vs.. Evan Bourne...vs. Rey Mysterio. This would be a good chance to push R-Truth or Evan Bourne probably not Rey nor Morrison cosidering they should seek the major titles.
   
   Idk but these four offer or can offer great matches if they get the chance....

   nice and congrats on ur 20th article dude
   anyway i agree with everything and in my opinion aj has gone down in my top 10. hes now heel and cocky and he doesnt perform as exciting as he was b4. Also NXT should get cruiserweight like everybody says and hav another title and tag title. This is a fresh new brand and WWE should start by getting their smaller ppl like high flyer evan bourne as NXT champ or sumthing

    Ziggler was suppose to become Intercontinental Champion, but Mysterio didn't want to give it up. Then Morrison didn't want to give it up so quick, and then before you knew it, he was out of the picture.

    You hate it because I bash TNA.
    TNA has gone so far downhill since the 4th January. No one can disagree with me.

    Nem, I hate to say it because I love(d?) TNA, but you`re right. It IS going down.

    Nem, you're 100% on the money, and I don't get it how if we all agree the business is still crap. Before Hogan came to TNA, TNA used to openly say it listened to what its fans wanted, well that went down the toilet the day the fans chanted we want six sides and nothing happened.

    Awesome article dude.. I agree with everything. The Miz is greatly improving. Motor City and Beer Money are the teams that need to be pushed in TNA, they are TNA's best. And I agree with everything else such as Hogan being the one bringing TNA down to its' demise. I've said it time and time again, but Vince payed Hogan some money and told him to go to TNA and cause havoc.. it was Vince's master plan all along. Just a hypothesis :P

    "That will just make me want to hurl fridges at little passing kids on tricycles. Or throw unsuspecting grandmas into oncoming traffic." lol :D
    
    "Survivor Series was the birthplace of the Undertaker… now, it’s just dead." This leads us to possibility of soon retirement of Undertaker... If only they start doing something logical in WWE... :) Honestly, the closing of Survior Series could have been a wonderful storyline, which included Undertaker's reitrement. So simbolic... :)
    
    On TNA: I kinda liked Against All Odds PPV :) Most matches reminded me the real TNA, while quick, dinamic angles were a perfect break between action. On the other hand, the best match IMHO was the opener - Pope vs. Wolf. And the other matches went steadily down in ratings :) Even AJ vs Joe wasn't THAT good.
    
    By the way, Great article! Congrats with the anniversary ;)

    @ Antary
    
    I like TNA as well. I'm very passionate about professional wrestling. This is why I criticize it so much. I want it to be good. I want to be entertained.
    I don't want the garbage that is on the airwaves now.

    Nice article but I disagree with survivor series ppv. I know, b/c I was THERE when HBK put sweet chin music on Triple H, I espeically thought Taker's retain at triple threat was quite moving. He has come a long way from his first appearance. Kofi team vs. RKO team was rather heart-pounding. They certainly had great moments and match-ups. I think people would choose to spend time with their family and travelling which is why S.S. PPV ratings wasn't that great. If set up at different time, it might be better, but idk, I'm not sure. All I know was that Cena had a huge pop and that's something Cena didn't usually get. As for Batista vs. Rey, everybody hated Batista but I'm sure all non-idiots would know this is exact pivot for Cena (face) vs. Batista (heel) match-up which should fares better than Batista (face) vs. Cena (almost heel). Just speaking up my opinion here.

    @ sting
    the way things look eric "bitchoff" are set to ruin it the most shocking thing that could happen is kurt losing to rhino! and that is no good for TNA.
    
    yes hardy might be moving to impact big whoop matt isn't there yet so nothing gonna happen with jeff.
    
    and finally if the FL do win at final resolution then you need a name change!

    "Let us hope there are no more Gimmick PPV’s soon."
    
    Apparently, you haven't seen the new PPV schedule on WWE.com:
    
    5/23 - Wildcard
    6/20 - Fatal Four Way
    7/18 - Money in the Bank
    
    Here's one of my posts concerning it on the wrestlezone.com forums:
    
    I have a feeling wildcard will either bring back the RAW Roullette (or just roullette), or the Cyber Sunday type event. My reasoning is that in something where the stipulation is "wild," it could be totally random. However, with this wild aspect, it could also be a PPV where, we, the WWE Universe, pick the stipulations, match types, superstars, etc. in a fan based PPV. I personally hope it's of the latter, because of the pure unpredictability.
    
    Knowing Vince, however, it'll probably just be a "random" choice, that's not so random if you know what I mean And it would most likely be "randomly" drawn matches that create or settle obvious feuds.
    
    Fatal Four Way could potentially be not so bad (if they change the name), if it's purely in the Headline and Main Event to bring up Multi-person feuds. The others could be fatal fourway tag matches to split the tag titles (have 2 losing teams and two winning) or maybe just multi-person (triple threat, battle royal, etc...).
    
    Now, MITB is pretty self explanatory. It'll have regular MITB Matches to determine future contenders, and possibly ladder matches to win a title (w/ 6 or 7 men). Also, it could have a match between the current Mr. MITB (who wins at WM26) and a no. 1 contender to it to determine the Mr. MITB.
