The Big News: Shawn Michaels is doing his best to resist the negative influence of JBL.

Show Analysis:

The show began with a phenomenal video package on Shawn Michaels vs. JBL. These packages are always great to the point it pretty much goes without saying, but this week’s package was particularly effective in putting over last week’s angle.

Chris Jericho and Randy Orton were in the ring to protest what happened last week. They complained that Michaels, in allowing JBL to…

WWE tape Smackdown as well as broadcasting Monday Night Raw tonight from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

If you’re attending the tapings, we’re looking for Smackdown spoilers at phil@ifight365.com.

Advertised for Raw is John Cena vs. Chris Jericho in a Toronto Street Fight although the match is almost certainly for the benefit of the live crowd only as WWE have not advertised the match for tonight’s show.

Advertised for tonight’s Raw broadcast are four first round matches in the World Title…

WWE’s final PPV of 2008, Armageddon, takes place tonight and as always we’ll have live coverage of the show as it happens here at iFight365.com from around 7.45pm EST/12.45am GMT.

John Cena will be thrown right back into the title mix when he returns later this month.

Raw takes place tonight from Tampa, FL with a three-hour special.

Okay, so I’ll get this of my chest,as it’s only a minor quibble. But at the risk of sounding pedantic and like, well, a twat, I should point out the rather frivolous title that this WWE release sports.

“The Greatest,” “of all time,” implies that this collection of bouts is the cream of the crop, the best of the best, a selection where only the finest rise.

“Shawn and I felt terrible. Rebecca did not. She loved it. She thought it was awesome.”

The Big News: Batista and Chris Jericho got to pick each other’s opponents for the night, but Batista proved more adept at screwing Jericho than vice versa.

Date: 09/08/08 from Fort Wayne, IN.
The Big News: Chris Jericho was able to weasel his way out of another tough predicament, but next week he has to face CM Punk in a cage match.
Show Analysis:
Chris Jericho came out to start the show. I think he will work well as champion, but they really devalued the title in the way they got it to him. Jericho revealed bruises on his body given to him by supposed good guy Shawn Michaels. Jericho pointed out their match was unsanctioned so Michaels accomplished nothing …

- Raw takes place tonight in Fort Wayne with no matches announced at time of writing. Its likely we’ll see where Chris Jericho’s reign as World Champion is heading and whether or not it will lead to a title match with Shawn Michaels at Cyber Sunday.
Coming out of last night’s PPV, you’d assume they’re still building to a CM Punk vs. Randy Orton match although it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to me if that is built up quite slowly. Given that Punk was taken out of the main event …
