Mr. & Mrs. Smith, ECW, WWE Draft Pics...

A busy week here, so let's get to it.

I saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Friday. This is classic summer cinema...fun and just long enough. The beginning is a bit slow, but once it gets rolling, it's a fun little ride. This week, Batman Begins opens and I can't wait.

Now to WWE business, my draft predictions from last week were way off:

Raw gets Kurt Angle - In a shocker Raw gets John Cena and the WWE Title. This is an interesting choice since it leaves SmackDown without a heavyweight champ. Tonight, Cena has his first match ever on Raw.

SmackDown gets Tajiri or Christy Hemme - After being off the show for over a year, Chris Benoit was back on SmackDown. Part of this was to get Benoit on both shows to play into the ECW angle. Benoit left SmackDown after winning the Royal Rumble in 2004 to face Triple H at Wrestlemania 20.

For this week, I'm going with:

Raw gets Rob Van Dam - I see this as a good move. Get RVD on the show where he can continue his "no storyline" storyline.

SmackDown gets Shawn Michaels - I think this is a good move; there are a lot of folks on SmackDown who could use a good feud with a face like Michaels.

I saw the ECW PPV last night, and while it wasn't the worst thing I have ever seen by far, it wasn't the "A+ - Best PPV Ever - Cure For Cancer" that people are saying it was. IN most reviews, it seems that the "best match of the night" was the Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka match. I honestly don't think two men almost killing each other is a classic match when Benoit and Eddie have a match and it gets boring chants. "ECW fans aren't bloodthirsty and love mat wrestling"...right.

I think a lot of this comes from who I watched the PPV with. My family is VERY pro-WWF/E. They have watch WWE, and only WWE. They only saw one WCW PPV that we taped for an uncle and they never saw a lick of ECW beyond the little bit we've gotten on WWE TV. As fans of WWE, they order the ECW show only for the WWE stars they knew, who were then beaten down in a rather lame brawl at the end. While the ECW PPV made a lot of the Internet loyal happy, I don't know what it did for the majority of the fans that are not "Internet marks".

I realize that these are harsh words, but I hope that this was ECW's "blaze of glory" because it burned a great deal of WWE loyal fans.

Have a good week.
