The Teacher’s Lecture:

Rey Mysterio out, a piece of the Puzzle will be missing

Recently, Mysterio gave us a wonderful performance in his match with Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Championship on the August 15th edition of Monday Night Raw. When I watched him after the commercial break, I noticed that he was limping really bad and wondered if it was his knee immediately. I thought maybe I read too much into the injury, but then Mysterio officially announced that he needed reconstructive surgery and it is really heartbreaking to see a guy who busted his behind over a year-plus at a high level.

He was my 2011 Wrestler of the Half-Year because he is a guy that would honestly battle guys bigger and stronger and no matter how experienced or inexperienced the opponent was, Mysterio always put on a spectacle. In a way, if a wrestler was involved in a spirited feud with Rey Mysterio they were over for a long period. If you disagree, here are some feuds that Mysterio was a part of and the result. Keep in mind I may not know all of them, as I am typing this from the time I started writing the columns on WrestleView.

Chris Jericho – They feuded in 2009 after Mysterio defeated John Bradshaw Layfield for the Intercontinental Championship and both Jericho and Mysterio had a tremendous battle over that championship. Once that feud ended, Jericho (who was already a main-event guy regardless of brand) would have a World Championship reign.

Dolph Ziggler – This was a feud that I thought could have had a better ending. However, it ended too soon in the summer of 2009 when Mysterio was suspended for 30 days via the WWE Wellness Violation. But still, Mysterio gave Ziggler a bit of prestige and even got a booked match at SummerSlam. Even though Ziggler appeared to be next-in-line for the Intercontinental Championship, Mysterio dropped the title to John Morrison. Since then, Ziggler has tasted the main event scene on Friday Night Smackdown when he feuded with Edge, while Morrison has yet won a World Championship.

Batista – Most wrestling fans remember Bragging Rights 2009 when Mysterio broke up a pin attempt by Batista to keep his chance for the World Heavyweight Championship alive. Remember what Batista did? He turned on Mysterio and put him in “mega-heel” status. The Batista/Mysterio feud lasted a few months from October 2009 – January 2010. While Mysterio ended up getting the upper hand against Batista, Mysterio could not win the world title. Batista after the feud went on to bigger and better things. Batista would end up being moved to Raw to feud with John Cena and won the WWE World Championship. Does one think that Batista’s heel run would be better if he did not attack the little guy? Personally, I don’t think so.

CM Punk – One of the best feuds in 2010 (arguably the best in the WWE) occurred from February – May 2010 when Rey Mysterio and CM Punk had a spirited rivalry. It was personal when CM Punk would cut off Mysterio’s daughter’s celebration by singing “Happy Birthday” in a creepy tone.

After back and forth victories between the two (Mysterio defeated Punk at that year’s WrestleMania), Mysterio was put over Punk at Over the Limit and shaved his head. Since that feud ended, CM Punk still has the mic skills but had a unsuccessful feud with The Big Show. However, after that feud ended CM Punk’s stock went back up and led him to being one of the top wrestlers in the world (all-around) today.

Around this time, Rey Mysterio would then qualify for the Fatal 4-Way Main Event by eliminating Kane in an “over-the-top rope” Battle Royal. In the Fatal 4-Way match, Mysterio defeated World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger (yeah, how long does that seam for Swagger), The Big Show, and CM Punk to win the championship.

Jack Swagger – Mysterio did make Swagger a little bit. Swagger has done basically nothing since the minor-feud with Mysterio, however he did introduce The Ankle Lock on Mysterio during that time. The Ankle Lock is a regular finisher for Swagger to this day. So even though the feud was brief, Swagger added a weapon to his amateur wrestling background.

Kane – Kane won the Money in the Bank match for the Smackdown Brand in July 2010. In the story, Kane did not forget what Mysterio did to him last month to win that title. When Swagger laid out Mysterio after their World Heavyweight Championship match Kane cashed in his case and won a World Title for the first time since the late 90s. Kane would be involved in the main event scene, Mysterio took a step back to feud with…

Alberto Del Rio – Del Rio and Mysterio started a quick feud to help put Del Rio over as a formidable fresh face in the main event scene. Heck, Del Rio took out Mysterio for a few weeks due to injuring his arm (Del Rio would then later on do that to Christian). In October 2010, Mysterio ended Del Rio’s winning streak and feud peaked at Survivor Series when Team Mysterio defeated Team Del Rio. The feud ended last January with Del Rio the winner of this war. Since it ended, Del Rio has gone on to bigger things and at times had to battle Mysterio to get there. Del Rio is your WWE Champion. Does one think Mysterio should have credit for Del Rio’s success?

Cody Rhodes – If anyone else outside of Del Rio needed a big push via a program with Mysterio it was Rhodes. In their story, Mysterio took the one thing that was valuable to Rhodes, his “dashing” good looks. Rhodes was honestly going nowhere until the injury angle and with the help of his daddy (Dusty Rhodes), they clobbered Mysterio. The two had a very strong feud which led to Rhodes being booked to go over Mysterio last April. The feud was put to rest at Extreme Rules. Though it was all on the undercard of Pay-Per-Views, Mysterio really helped Rhodes get over him while Mysterio ultimately would win the war between the two. With the help from Mysterio, Rhodes’ character as “Anti-Dashing or Grotesque” is still a big hit. Rhodes’ new gimmick and confidence helped him win the Intercontinental Championship.

Once drafted to Monday Night Raw a few months ago, Mysterio was not involved in anything like he was on Friday Night Smackdown. After looking at all these feuds, I totally understand why Mysterio was drafted to Raw. Here is the reason.

Mysterio was drafted to Raw to save his career. I don’t know how long he would last if he was the focal point to a brand.

On Smackdown, the show was circled around a program with Mysterio and most if not all of the feuds between Mysterio and an opponent over the span that was covered was a success.

On Raw, he does not have to be the top face. The top face is John Cena’s job. Mysterio can have a good minor feud with anybody and if he would get injured then it would not be a catastrophic loss. The reports say that Rey Mysterio is going to be out until WrestleMania XXVIII. Let’s hope Mysterio does not arrive earlier than the target date of April 1, 2012. It would be a shame if he arrived early at less than 100%. No matter how high or low on the card he is in, Mysterio does a great job at turning the mediocre to top-level stars.

Let’s all hope that Mysterio can comeback at 100% this time. Anything less will be an absolute risk for him.

Quick Notes from “The Notebook of Mr. V”

Matt Hardy is in trouble with the law and I fear that he believes that it is a game. He better wise up because in life there are no reset buttons if you are about to hit a wall. At first it seemed like I wanted to joke about all of this. However, I am feeling sorry for the guy because one does not want the “unhappy ending” of a professional help. The WWE offers help to those who once were under contract with the company. For Matt’s sake, he needs to check in and get clean.

It looks like Hunico will be under the “Sin Cara” mask for the time being, and if true it is not good for Mistico. Mistico took a risk in joining the WWE roster, and now I believe it was too soon for him. Hunico and Alberto Del Rio spent a lot of time in developmental and both so far are not too bad (in Del Rio’s case, perfect). If anything, this should be a wakeup call. To those that have seen Mistico wrestle when he was a the top of his game, no one was a better high flyer.

I read that Kevin Nash will only read bullet points and refuses to read a script. In my world, this is like the 35-year teacher that is really out of touch and refuses to better himself. Professional wrestling has changed. Nash probably thought dying his hair was change enough. Honestly, in order for this story to continue Nash has to follow a script. If he wants to read off of bullets, it is a start. He looks totally lost when in a verbal battle with CM Punk.

I wish Todd Grisham the very best over at ESPN. When he was on Smackdown with Jim Ross, I thought they were the best announce team in wrestling. He was always one of my favorite announcers since I started the column. It is awesome to see someone get a good job in this day and age.

Speaking of people with a new job, Pittsburgh independent wrestler Sterling James Keenan signed a developmental contract with the WWE recently. He will go under the name “Corey Graves”. He is still a young professional wrestler at 27, so the sky is still the limit. With his experience, I hope we see him in a WWE ring next year (if not sooner).

I read the attendance figures for TNA’s Impact tapings in Alabama and I can only type one thing. TNA, have more Impact Wrestling tapings outside the Impact Zone. The company has nothing to lose.

Oh yeah, and I have given up on the Bound for Glory Series. At first, I really liked the idea. But now it is a mess with the legit injury to Matt Morgan and storyline injuries at the hands of Samoa Joe. I am so disappointed because it had so much potential. However, if it tells stories leading to Bound for Glory I guess it is ok.

Ring of Honor’s next iPPV “Death before Dishonor” will feature The All Night Express vs. The Briscoes in a Ladder War. This match may very well be worth the $14.99 price for a show. If a wrestling fan wants to see a good show, from the looks of it so far ROH has a good card lined up.

ROH returns to television in a few weeks. It’s about time.

Detentions

Hurricane Irene – You get one for costing Dave Stephens a Teacher’s Lounge taping…

…Blue Screen of Death – Or is it you? Man, Dave Stephens has become the Brooklyn Brawler of Wrestleview.

Time – We don’t have enough of it. Seriously, the life of a teacher and writer is tough. I can’t have it any other way though.

Whoever ruined the Bound for Glory Series – It had potential, but now it is just an obvious mess.

David Otunga – Let’s face it. He can’t wrestle. As a matter of fact, The Teacher’s Lounge officially put him in Eternal Detention last Saturday.

Darren Young – He is in detention for assaulting a teacher on NXT. That was not cool.

Jinder Mahal – Is this character believable anymore?

Sin Cara (both of them) – I am really thinking they are that bad because of either the lighting or the mask. It’s got to be one of them, right?

The Time Out Chair – Matt Hardy. I am sorry, Matt. But this is for your own good.

Eternal Detention

Praxis and the ETS Series
Teachers that get arrested
Michael Cole (As posted on Facebook, he will be in here until Mr. V #200)
2010 French Soccer Team
Jeff Hardy and “The Other” Hardy
“Undefined” Alicia Fox
David Otunga (new entry)
“Roggio”
Linda Hogan

(Mike Tenay has served his sentence here, I freed him to add Otunga to the list)

Scottropolis presents “The Brody” (goes to the WORST comment under WrestleView articles)

The “Brody” is now presented by Mr. Scottie Poindexter and Scottropolis.com! Scottie has posted many of his writing on this website and there are many subjects he writes about. From Poetry to Music and even Professional Wrestling, Mr. Poindexter has unique writing that will please anyone. So go to his website if you like, and you can thank me later.

I ask my readers to be “nosy” and search under the postings for some ridiculous or borderline brainless comments from some of the trolls that lurk under the bridge.

This week’s “winner” is Russell Young. While there were some that were much worse than Mr. Young’s, I had to choose his comment under the “SPOILERS: Second report of Smackdown tapings” article from August 24, 2011. I hate to do this to him because there were many that were worse. However, those that posted the terrible comments were under the age of 18 and I am not allowed to “call them out”. However to that particular “15 year old” that used the “F-word” you should be ashamed of yourself. Be young, not young and stupid.

Here is the comment by Russell Young that was truly “Brody-Worthy”.

“Sheamus slammed Sheamus…. you think these people sending in reports would do a better job with proof reading before hitting send.”

Mr. V’s Thought: Here was the actual line that Mr. Young thought needed proofreading (yes, it is one word so do a better job before hitting send).

“…Not sure if this is on tv but Henry got up and beat the he!! outta Sheamus then he slammed Sheamus on the steel steps.” (Brad on the SPOILERS: Second report of Smackdown Tapings article)

Look, I guess what I am trying to type is that no one is perfect. I am not perfect, I know I make mistakes and admit to them. Brad made a mistake in this with his grammar, but one thing that he did get right was the way he worked out this decree. As a good friend Austen Allen typed:

“Can you read? It doesn’t say that at all! It says Henry got up and beat the hell outta Sheamus then he slammed Sheamus on the steel steps.” (Allen)

Then ben.dunder (signed in using Yahoo) replied with this:

“Go back to English Class, Russell.” (ben.dunder)

That was not friendly, but well Brad’s sentence was not correct on some of the grammar standards. However, Brad was not properly “called out” because he was correct.

Take it away, Tony Atlas!

I also take suggestions for “The Brody”. Send your picks to mistervwv@hotmail.com. Subject: The Brody. Thanks.

Who’s in line for the Predictions Prize?

See the latest Predictions article for details on how to compete.

First Place will win a wrestling DVD.
Second Place will win a T-Shirt.
Third Place will win a Coffee Mug.
Last Place will win TNA’s Victory Road 2009 (or now even 2011 whichever costs less), as it was as bad a PPV as what potentially someone’s picks will be.

I will just type out the Top five or six readers at this time. The first set of parentheses is the W/L record for WWE’s SummerSlam. The second parentheses are the Tie-Breaker points.

1) Paul Meade……………………………………………………..63-37 (1-4) (29) – Tie #1
2) Jordan Benterman…………………………………………..63-37 (2-3) (29) – Tie #1
3) Nick Latham…………………………………………………….62-38 (1-4) (29) – Tie #2
4) Michael Fox……………………………………………………62-38 (2-3) (29) – Tie #2
5) Goose Oberstar………………………………………………62-38 (1-4) (28) – #3
6) Jason Namako…………………………………………………61-39 (1-4) (26)

Four wins separate first place to eleventh place, so there is still a lot of time to catch up.

The person with the most picks incorrect is currently 54-46. Two have this record, but the one with 24 tiebreak points is deemed the worst. The other one had 27 tie break points.

Mr. V’s Gold Star Segment

Gold Stars brought to you by: ColtMerch.com! Take a look at Colt Cabana’s merchandise and you won’t be disappointed.

Also, while you are at it check out www.jrsbarbq.com. Jim Ross has some specials on all the Beef Jerky you can consume. Look at his blog and maybe buy a product or two.

Finally, some Gold Stars! These are the people, teams, and many other things that I think did a great job in wrestling, sports, news, and even charity. So, here is who I am giving a Gold Star to.

Antonio Brown – The Pittsburgh Steeler Wide Reciever scored two touchdowns in the preseason against the Atlanta Falcons.

Alberto Del Rio – He has done such a great job in August and anything that he gets he has truly earned.

Adam Martin – He co-hosted “The Teacher’s Lounge” on short notice and we did it LIVE for the first time in the show’s history. Thanks to all that listened to the show.

James Lacerenza – He is still in the top 15 for the grant to send kids with Muscular Dystrophy to a summer camp at no cost to the parents. To vote (hopefully until August 31st), please take a few seconds of your time.

http://www.refresheverything.com/mda

Tyson Kidd – He is up there with Drew McIntyre as the most underrated in professional wresting right now. Kidd is that good and if you want examples, check out NXT.

Todd Grisham – Best of luck on ESPN.

AJ and Maxine – These WWE Divas had an excellent match on NXT. I thought this was the best women’s match in the WWE right now.

Sheamus – His continued babyface character has been a success. Also, I have a suggestion for the WWE website. Let’s have “Story Time with Sheamus” where he talks about a tale from Ireland. I bet that could be successful.

Colt Cabana and Sal Rinauro – What an incredible “Art of Wrestling” podcast this week. Also, extra points on the Boy Meets World reference.

Mark Henry – I will give him one because I fear Mark Henry.

Ezekiel Jackson – He gets one for being strong enough to execute the Torture Rack on The Great Khali.

Jim Ross – I think his commentary is beautiful. Also, his Chipotle Ketchup has replaced Heinz in my kitchen.

Sterling James Keenan – Congrats on the FCW assignment.

CM Punk – His mic work is the best I have heard in years, seriously!

Zack Ryder – Z! True Long Island Story was great, though I am freaked out that your dad loves John Morrison that much.

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne – Thank you for winning the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Chris Masters – Mr. V misses you, and so do many of my readers.

Claudio Castagnoli – He earned one for staying “Very European”.

And that is all for now. If you want me to give out a Gold Star let me know at mistervwv@hotmail.com.
