Pro wrestling weekly review: Raw is Jericho, Booker T returns

Another week has gone by in the world of pro wrestling, and you know what that means: welcome to another edition of The Eagle’s column we call Catch or Release, a rating of the week that was in the world of pro wrestling, divided up into two categories: Catch being good and Release meaning it needs to go. Simple right? Let’s begin. PLEASE drop me a comment to let me know your thoughts on the segment. Thanks for visiting pro wrestling’s fastest growing site!

Catch…. Jamie Nobles current push. He is a very talented wrestler and The Eagle is happy to see him show that off. The only downside to this is that there is no Cruiserweight Title.

Release…. The Hornswoggle storyline. At first this was somewhat humorous but now its just getting old. I liked it better when he just interfered in Finley’s matches.

Catch…. The Rey Mysterio/MVP feud brewing. These two men were very impressive in their match on WWE SmackDown this week. The Eagle wants to see more.

Release…. The lack of competition for ECW Champion CM Punk. There are some people who could make legit run at the title but I don’t see Punk facing any of them. How about Elijah Burke, Kevin Thorne, or Tommy Dreamer? WWE has a thing going with the brand exchange between ECW and SmackDown so they can find someone who give Punk a run for his money.

Catch…. Booker T’s return to TV. I am still not completely sold on Booker T coming back for a number of reasons. I am not sure who to believe in the steroid issue and I think he would have been better off concentrating on his own promotion. The reason I say this is a Catch is cause the look in his eye when he took out Christian Cage. I haven’t seen that look for a long time. Maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.

Release…. The lack of a decent feud for Santino Marella. The Jerry Lawyer feud was ok but he is an announcer so Marella cant get into a long running program with him. I was thinking about Marella and Jeff Hardy going at it. (The Eagle will send WWE a memo about that)

Catch…. The Cody Rhodes/Hardcore Holly feud/tag team. These guys put on some good matches whether as a tag team or against each other. I would have them team for a long time…. Maybe even holding the titles for a little.

Release… TNA’s X Division not being able to show off their skills. How is having the X division title stolen by a heavyweight helping them? Let the X Division fight among themselves… its better action.

Drum roll please… Time for The Eagles Catch and Release of the week…

Catch…. Chris Jericho’s return. Oh yeah…Raw is Jericho, finally. I think this is great as long as they don’t give him the title to quickly. Let the Randy Orton feud build for a while then have them meet at WrestleMania.

Release… The Edge/Vickie Guerrero storyline. Maybe its just he respect I have for Eddie Guerrero or its just that this storyline sucks. It’s been done before and it didn’t work then. Edge has enough talent that he doesn’t need a woman beside him.

Catch and Release matches of the week

Catch… Christian Cage vs Kaz at TNA’s Genesis PPV. I know this is 2 weeks old but because Catch and Release didn’t appear last week I thought I’d throw this one in. These two are extremely talented. They bring out the best in each other. I wouldn’t surprised to see Kaz hold the title sometime next year.

Release… Fit Finley and Hornswoggle vs Mark Henry on WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown this week. Finley’s timing was all off in this one. Henry over sold some of the moves. It was just a lazy match. All the competitors looked lost in this one.

As always if you a match or situation to nominate for next weeks Catch and Release column please drop The Eagle a line.
