A Look into the WWE's Next PPV, The Night Of Champions

The WWE's upcoming PPV, Night of Champions which airs this Sunday, looks to be great in my eyes.

Not only do you have the whole world wondering who Chris Jericho's tag partner is, but you also are set to see every single title in the WWE defended.

That means both women's title, all the World Titles, the US and IC Title, and of course the unified tag title.

It is a PPV that many wait all year to see. While some say that the WWE only has 5 PPVs people consider the best of the year in Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, No Way Out, and Wrestlemania. We have to realize that the WWE has a gem here in Night of Champions.

It may be considered a gimmick PPV, but who cares? I love it, and we will definitely see titles change.

I feel it is a given that Maryse will lose her Diva's Title. Only because she is the longest reigning champion in the WWE right now. Mickie James needs to be recognized, and she needs the title if you ask me. Maryse had her shot, its time to give it up.

The Women's Title is one of those that could be passed. However, because Maryse could possibly lose, there is no way the WWE would have both women's titles change hands. So, I see McCool retaining Sunday.

Dolph Ziggler is one of the hottest heels in the WWE today. The WWE, especially Vince McMahon are high on him. This is why he is getting a huge push. I feel that even though Rey Mysterio just won the Intercontinental Title, Ziggler will take it from him.

I feel he needs it to really get on a roll, even more so than he already has.

The World Titles are a toss up to me. I feel that Orton could easily lose to either Triple H or John Cena. But it seems the WWE wants to really keep him as WWE Champion for a while, at least until the Fall. So, I feel he will retain.

The World Heavyweight Championship is a tough one, but you have to go with CM Punk to retain here. I mean, Jeff Hardy's WWE contract expires shortly after the NOCs PPV. Because of this, the WWE won't give him the title. I hate to say it ladies and gents, but Hardy won't win this Sunday.

Christian vs Tommy Dreamer is another tough one. But to me, you have to go with Christian. True, he has had his shot with the title before. However, Christian is a better fit as ECW Champion rather than Dreamer. Dreamer is up in age, and he doesn't need to be the #1 guy on the brand. Christian can be, plus, Christian is already being misused by being on ECW in the first place. So, to reward him for being on the WWE's C Show without complaining, you have to give him the title back.

Also, the WWE never planned to have Dreamer hold the title long anyway.

The US Title is one that could go one of two ways. Either Kofi Kingston somehow retains or Big Show wins the title, plain and simple.

Keep in mind, Big Show has not held a title in the WWE since being on the ECW Brand 4 years ago. He hasn't even held a tag title. Keep in mind also that Big Show took a leave of absence from the WWE to pursue a boxing career that didn't pan out.

He has not held a title in the WWE since his return well over a year ago. So, I feel he is due for a win, and he could walk out the new United States Champion. So I pick him. But, if he is not the winner or Kofi does not retain, I'll be shocked.

The Tag Title mess seems to be catching everyone off guard a bit. I feel that the WWE is making such a big deal out of the new tag partner for Jericho that there is no way he and his new tag partner will not walk out still Unified Tag Champion. Sorry Legacy!

-Joe Burgett

Who is Chris Jericho's New Tag Partner? I Have the Answer!

Chris Jericho escaped, literally escaped losing his Undisputed tag titles by the skin of his teeth.

See, his partner Edge suffered an injury which will sideline him indefinitely. This was a huge blow to the tag title and Jericho. But because Jericho had the law on his side, he was able to keep his gold.

But because Jericho's partner Edge is out, he will have to find a new partner. He has mentioned that his new partner will be revealed this Sunday at the WWE PPV Night of Champions. This leads me to my point, I want to figure out who his new partner is. I feel I have the answer, or at least suspects.

Chris Masters was released a while back, but Vince McMahon sat down with him, they discussed his issues and signed him back. Since he signed the WWE deal months back, he is available.

He was an emerging name while he was in the WWE around 2003 to early 2007. Before he was released, he was being pushed for a possible World Title reign.

Since he is back, and he is considered to be coming back as a heel, he will work for the WWE and Jericho.

Masters is significantly smaller than what he once was, but that won't stop him from showing his improved wrestling ability. He may no longer be "The Masterpiece" as far as he body goes, he is good enough wrestling and mic wise to return to the WWE and be Jericho's partner.

While I feel he is the man who will most likely be the choice, I feel that there is another.

Carlito recently split from his brother Primo. I, along with many others thought there would be a storyline with them. That didn't happen, which is surprising because usually when a tag partner, (especially a brother) turns on the other, there is always a storyline with them unless something bigger is about to happen.

Although Carlito is in the 6 pack US Title match, he most likely won't win the title. I feel Kofi will retain or Big Show will win it, but we will have to see.

In any case, I feel it is puzzling that Carlito was added to the US Title match and not left out to feud with his brother. Therefore, he could be someone to keep in mind for Jericho's partner this Sunday.

Carlito and Masters are the two people at the top of my list. But I could be wrong.

Who do you feel Jericho will choose?

Is WWE Supertstar Kofi Kingston's Accent Fake?

As we all know, the WWE is an entertainment company. That is what the "E" in WWE stands for after all.

The reason I say this, is because we have to realize that not everything we see on WWE TV Shows are real. This even goes with gimmicks wrestlers use.

WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston for instance, has a Jamaican Wrestler gimmick. We all know that Jamaicans speak their own language in Jamaica, and of course when they speak English they have a bit of an accent.

Now, apparently Elijah Burke knows this and he is kind of in an uproar over Kingston's Jamaican accent. In a recent tweet, he had this to say regarding Kingston:

"Well Kofi, at least Seth Green did his homework; His c-list acting was more believable than your "Jafacian Accent" on commentary! ~ PHS"

First of Burke, if I were you I wouldn't be making fun of a guy who has a job, when you certainly do not. Also I wouldn't make fun of a guy who has won three different titles in the WWE, where you won 0. This is a personal attack on Kingston to me. Burke, you lost your job in the WWE, and you know why. Kingston is one of the best young stars in the business today, get over it, your old news dude!

See, the WWE gimmick Kingston has is that he is a Jamaican born wrestler.

Key word is Jamaican born, this does not mean he lived there his whole life. See, I have a friend who was born in Spain. Neither of my friends parents were from there, but my friend's mother had her overseas, so while my friend had duel citizenship, she does not have an accent.

You can be born somewhere and not have an a strong accent.

I am sure Kingston was born there because one or both of his parents were from there. He moved to the United States and when he came to the WWE, they gave him a Jamaican gimmick.

So because he knows how to speak Jamaican, he may not have as strong of an accent as others because he came to America where he learned English early in life. Also, you can study and find ways to improve your speaking.

Burke is bitter, that is all this is. Kingston may not have the best Jamaican accent in the world, but it may not be fake. He may just be improving his voice. Did you ever think of that Burke? I think NOT! So please Burke, go home and update your Twitter feed to say this

"Me Elijah Burke, I call myself the Pope even though I am not from Italy, and I live my life by making fun of others. Yes, I have no life."

Have a nice day Burke!

Make sure to come back tomorrow and everyday to see more blogs from Toywiz.com!

CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy-Who is the TRUE winner?

While watching SmackDown last night, I saw a wonderful promo cut by none other than CM Punk. He talked about his life compared to Jeff Hardy's.

He spoke of how Hardy has 2 strikes and he has 0. He then preceded to speak about how he has never been suspended and Jeff has. He basically relating his life to Hardy's.

Straightedge vs The Charismatic Enigma. Who will win?

I say, who cares? Why you ask?

Basically we are seeing the best storyline in the WWE right now, Punk vs Hardy. It has everyone intrigued in some way.

We saw Punk as a babyface character for so long and the moment he went out and cashed in Money in the Bank on the super over Hardy, he has been the bad guy, even after explaining his actions.

Now, while this was not right for the fans who once loved Punk to now turn on him out of no where, it was cool to see them do it.

It shows how Hardy is indeed the most popular and beloved superstar in the WWE today, and how there is no one who can dispute it. Because of this, we have a guy in Punk who can show how his lifestyle relates to his. It is basically, the Saint vs the Redeemer.

Hardy is trying to redeem his career and is trying not to make mistakes like he once did with drugs an alcohol, while Punk never has made these mistakes.

It is something people are on the edge of their seat about, not just because they "like" either superstar, but because of the story between the two, both real life and storylined.

People will love how the story develops no matter the winner. Even if they have a favorite in the feud, they will always remember the storyline for what it was, one of the best the WWE has done in some time.

When you relate real life to a storyline in the WWE, you basically bring in excitement to what the superstars do. The fans get behind the face more than ever, or you make the fans agree with what the heel has to say somewhat.

No doubt that this match at Night of Champions will be greatly anticipated. We will see a lot in the coming weeks with these two. And because of this, it will only bring more excitement to an already red hot storyline.

-Joe Burgett

Edge update and possibility for the Unified Tag Titles

As many WWE fans know by now, WWE Superstar Edge hurt himself in a house show match with Jeff Hardy.

He tore his Achilles heel tendon, which is very painful. For those of you who have had the injury, you know what I mean.

Because of this injury, Edge had to have surgery in Birmingham, Alabama with world renowned sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

Andrews said that while this was a bad injury for Edge, it was not as bad as it could have been. He feels Edge will return just as good, if not better than before. Which is a good thing to hear.

The Unified Tag Team Champion will be out 6 to 8 months. Meaning he will be back at some point in 2010. I feel personally that Edge will be back at the Royal Rumble, which is at the end of January.

So essentially, Edge would be out 7 months if he came back then.

The original plan for Edge was to have him turn face after he and Jericho lost the tag titles. However, he won't be able to turn babyface(good guy) until he returns.

Therefore, look to see Edge return as a face instead of a heel(bad guy).

There is no inside information regarding the Unified Tag Team Titles now. Because the WWE has openly said that Edge has had surgery, everyone knows he is going to be out and not able to compete at Night Of Champions.

The reason there is no inside information could be because nothing has really been discussed.

The idea most people are thinking is obviously Edge and Jericho will have to drop the titles, but to who and how?

I would think Legacy would be the obvious choice considering they were supposed to face Edge and Jericho at NOC. However with the emerging storyline with Ted DiBiase Jr. and Randy Orton, that seems unlikely to me.

I feel what we should see is a fatal four way for the tag titles at Night of Champions.

Cryme Tyme, Legacy, Hart Dynasty, and William Regal and Vladimir Kozlov will compete to be the new Unified Tag Champs.

I would throw Legacy out as I mentioned before, and then throw ECW's Regal and Kozlov out.

That leaves SmackDown's Cryme Tyme and Hart Dynasty.

Because the WWE is not really in love with CT, it is unlikely they will give them the straps and make them the best tag team in the WWE.

Therefore, that would make the obvious choice the Hart Dynasty(DH Smith and Tyson Kidd)

They are already the best tag team in the WWE. They have all the tools, and they need more exposure and gold to show how good they really are. Why not make them the new champs? I'd plan on seeing Hart Dynasty as the new tag champs after Night of Champions myself.

But back to Edge. No doubt this is a big loss to the SmackDown Brand. However, they do have others that can take his place. So hopefully they can take fans' mind of seeing Edge and the ratings won't slide.

WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2010-The Video Game

How many people here love video games? Well, while I cannot see a show of hands, you can comment letting me know.

Anyway, if you do love video games and you love or even like the WWE a tad, then this is the game for you.

While it has not come out yet, it will come out in the Fall. We are supposed to know more about it around late August, so that means I will keep you all updated as I know more.

However, right now we do know what the artwork on the case will be. The case has Randy Orton, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, John Cena, and Edge on the cover.

It is a nice case, but, who cares about that right? We want to know about the game.

THQ, the maker of the WWE SmackDown vs RAW franchise said that "it will have more freedom than ever before" I personally want to see what they mean by this myself.

By more freedom, I think that we will have more arena access, a bigger move-set, and chances to make our own storylines.

I personally love last year's addition of "create a finisher" I feel it can be improved, but it was cool to see if you ask me.

What I miss is the GM mode, it was one of my favorite features, as I got to control and entire brand and see how mine stacked up against the others. It was fun, and should not have been taken out.

Instead, the WWE added the Wrestlemania Mode to the game. While it was well done, you could only do it with a few stars, so it got old. You could choose anyone on previous games for story mode, but not then.

Also, last year did have a mode where you could be anyone you wanted and work your way up to be a champion, but it wasn't that much fun and had no storyline at all, therefore making it not be as fun as previous games.

I gave last year's game a "C" only because I couldn't do as much in it as I could in the past with the others.

I want a "A" grade game from THQ and the WWE this year. The 2010 version needs to be the best of the best.

They are still working on the game, and the roster of stars will be bigger than ever before. So they have a lot to work with here.

What would you want to see in the game, WWE video game fans?

I want to see the GM Mode back, but that is my personal opinion. What is yours?

-Joe Burgett

What is next for Jeff Hardy?

- by Joe Burgett

For over 10 years now we have seen a Charasmatic/Extreme Enigma by the name of Jeff Hardy make his way up the "Ladder" of the WWE.

I was a fan since day one when he beat Razor Ramon(Scott Hall) by a count out in his debut match with the WWE.

It seems weird that I would become a fan of this man then, but I did. He left for a while after jobbing to bigger names, and came back with his brother Matt to form the Hardy Boyz.

They began doing well in the tag team division, beating teams such as the APA, Edge and Christian, and even the Dudleys/Team 3D.

But still, they were just as good in the singles division as they were in the tag team division.

This was proven to the world when Jeff Hardy won his first Intercontinental Championship.

He took on the likes of Triple H and the Undertaker and came out looking better than they did, even in a lose.

The time he really began to shine was when he took on The Undertaker for his Undisputed Championship in Hardy's specialty, a Ladder Match.

Hardy almost won, until Taker grabbed him just in time, took him down, and retained.

He did so well against him that fans took notice and began wanting to see more of him. Therefore the WWE gave him more titles such as the European, IC, and cruiserweight title.

We finally saw a a dream come true for Hardy and his fans when he won the WWE Championship at Armageddon this past year. He only held it a month, but he did win the title, which is something no one can take away from him.

Now, what is next for Hardy?

He is currently in contract talks with the WWE, as his current deal expires in a few weeks.

He is said to be close to signing a new deal, but if he doesn't then he will do a "by appearance" deal with the WWE, where they will pay him everytime he wrestles and/or does TV work with them.

He wants time off, so he will obviously take the time off this month. Probably after Night of Champions, considering the rivalry between he and CM Punk is not over yet.

Jeff Hardy's action figure is one of the most popular action figures in the history of Toywiz. So why don't you go with crowd and get what all your friends are getting, the Jeff Hardy action figure! Available right here on Toywiz.com

Why we should all look toward ECW for our next big name star

If you're not watching ECW, I ask you to make sure you start. This is the place we are seeing the next John Cena, Triple H, and Jeff Hardy.

Let's list off some of the wrestlers who have come from ECW.

CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Evan Bourne, and Kofi Kingston.

There are even more that I didn't get to, I know. However, these 4 men seem to be the most successful.

CM Punk won the ECW Title on ECW before going to RAW where he cashed in Money in the Bank on Edge and won his first World Title in the World Heavyweight Championship. He then won MITB again this past year and cashed it in on Jeff Hardy, shame on him. However, he is a 2 time World Champion, 1 time tag team and IC Champion. He is the fastest triple crown winner in WWE history.

Jack Swagger won the ECW Title in his first few months on the show, so you know he has proven himself. He was just drafted to RAW, so there is no telling what else he is capable of in the future.

Kofi Kingston is a big time player too. He is a former Tag Team and IC Champion. He is the current US Champion too. He is beating people who are bigger and/or stronger than him and will be a staple in the future of the WWE. One of the best young talents the WWE has ever had is Kingston.

Then we have Evan "Air" Bourne. You don't get that nickname from riding planes guys and gals. You get it from being one of the best highflyers in the WWE. He even went toe to toe with the best high-flyer in the business, Rey Mysterio. I personally love this guy. He could be the next Mysterio.

While Bourne has never won a title in the WWE, he can really give us great matches. Now that he has moved to RAW, I can see him getting in the US Title hunt quickly and possibly win it before to long.

In ECW's time, it has resurrected WWE careers too. People such as Mark Henry, John Morrison, The Miz, Shelton Benjamin, and of course Christian.

All of these men by the way have been champions once or after they went to ECW too.

Quite frankly, without ECW some of these men would be gone from the WWE. But because they went to ECW, they are now big time performers in the WWE.

See, ECW is not only a place for new superstars, but it is a place for those who need to show that they are for real and are misused on other shows.

While we still see the people like that come in, you have to think seeing new superstars come into the WWE is also something cool to see too.

People such as the newly formed Hart Dynasty- Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, and Natalya are big time players in the WWE too. What is freaky is that all three went to the Hart Dungeon. If you are not familiar with the place, it is the same place that taught Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Dynamite Kidd, and British Bulldog. So all three learned from the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

They will be tag champs before to long, and I see Natalya winning the Women's Title before to long. All three were recently drafted to SmackDown, so it could happen.

The new superstars will keep coming in. We need to realize that out future stars are coming from ECW. So if your not watching, you need to start soon.

Next week ECW has a special day and start time. Thursday at 7/6c instead of the usual Tuesday at 10/9c. So make sure to watch. The show is only coming on at that day and time next week, but afterward it will go back to Tuesday at 10/9c. It is only seen on Sci Fi.

I want to hear from you, the Toywiz readers and customers. Who is the best to come from ECW, and who do you think will be the next big star in the WWE from there?

Chris Jericho and Edge, The NEW WWE Unified Tag Team Champions

Well, it seems Canada finally got a boost last night at The Bash as two of Canada's favorite sons made them proud.

SmackDown GM Teddy Long's job was on the line, if he didn't do something good, and I mean really good, then he would be fired.

So, he added the former Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho and the former World Heavyweight Champion Edge to the Unified Tag Team Title match.

They would be facing Legacy's Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes and of course the current Unified Tag Champs themselves, The Colons.

We all thought going into the match, that the WWE would finally give Legacy a boost by having DiBiase and Rhodes win the tag titles. However, that was not the case as Edge and Jericho won the belts in a hard fought contest.

I think this is a stupid move by the WWE. Sure, Jericho and Edge have been tag champs before respectively. But they are both the two best heels in the WWE behind the current WWE Champion Randy Orton.

They are singles Superstars, why make them go back to the tag title race when they don't need to?  A team such as Legacy needed those titles if you ask me.

I personally think it makes no sense at all, and whoever thinks otherwise must have forgotten how to think.

I am by no means trying to say the WWE is trash here. However, the move they made to have Jericho and Edge win the titles was complete trash.

Edge is now a 13 time Tag Team Champion. He doesn't need to go back to the tag team division. He has been there, and done that. He bought the T-Shirt, and even bought property to the land there.

If you ask me, there will be a storyline with the two going against each other.

Both of their egos are bigger than The Big Show's buttocks, so obviously they will melt down and lose the titles because they just cannot get along.

I don't see a face turn for either Jericho or Edge, as they are both great heels. But I do expect them to see a few beefs with one another leading to the titles changing hands and a storyline with the both of them.

Having Edge win a title right now is dumb anyway, he is set to take time off in a month or so as he has been in some hard fought matches, along with the normal house shows and TV show matches he is in every week.

I know you have to be tough to be a wrestler, but come on. This man has been in two Elimination Chamber matches, a Steel Cage match, and a Ladder Match all within a few months. So he is in need of a break obviously.

Because of this, I see the two losing the tag titles most likely at Night of Champions next month. It will be storylined as they just cannot get along. But we all know it is because Edge is in need of a rest. Who they will lose them to is up in the air, but for now Canada can celebrate.

Jericho and Edge both will be coming home to their home country with the titles to a celebrating audience. However, as I mentioned, it will be short lived.

New Wrestling Sets

New Wrestling sets are up for pre-order, and it's always interesting putting them up, for the old names that are thrown in there.
The best are when putting up the Classic Superstars packages, because those are when you really have the blasts from the past.
For example, Classic Superstars 26, which went up yesterday had an Andre the Giant figure. Pretty awesome, right?
Whether you remember Andre the Giant as a wrestler or as an actor, it's pretty awesome when a new figure like that comes out.

WWE Extreme Rules

WWE Extreme Rules took place last night, and The Heavyweight title changed hands, not once, but twice.
The favorite, Jeff Hardy eventually faced off against CM Punk, and the title that Hardy held for just a number of minutes, changed hands again.
After Hardy beat Edge in a ladder match, CM Punk decided it was time to cash in his money in the bank that he has had since Wrestlemania 25.
It was clear that Hardy was tired, as he had just finished a grueling match against Edge, the first time the two had faced off in a ladder match.
It should be interesting to see how CM Punk will fare as the new Heavyweight Champion.
One sure thing is that Jeff Hardy won't go lightly and will fight his harder to get the title he had for such a very short time, back.

Johnny Damon Is In The News Again

Word on the street is that A.J. Burnett's children have really connected with Johnny Damon.
Let's be honest, Damon probably has more in common with A.J. Burnett's kids than he does with Burnett, being that he was one of the "idiots" in Boston.
Before the weekend, A.J.'s kids gave Damon a WWE championship belt. As you may know, since then, the Yankees have been on a tear, sweeping the Minnesota Twins, with three "walk-off" wins and a solid 7-6 victory last night.
Since Friday, the belt has been passed around like a badge of honor. It was presented after Friday Night's walkoff win to Melky Cabrera, who won the game for the Yanks with a 9th inning home run. It was then presented to Alex Rodriguez after the game on Saturday after he hit a HR in the 11th inning and finally, it was presented back to Damon after the provided the heroics on Sunday with a game-winning HR in the 9th inning.
The exact details of the championship belt haven't been disclosed, but how cool would it be to own the same belt that the New York Yankees have been using as the proverbial "game ball," presented to the one who provided the team with the victory? I say very cool.

The Jeff Hardy situation is heating up. What will he do when his contract runs out? Will he stay with the WWE or will he go to TNA?
He's an exciting wrestler, no doubt. But will he and the WWE be able to put aside their differences?
