MadMatt Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 [COLOR=red][B]WWE Monday Night Raw Preview for Week Two, June 2008[/COLOR][/B] Twenty Four Hours after King of the Ring, the superstars of Raw prepare for the next Pay Per View event, Vengeance. Brock Lesnar is no doubt the talk of the wrestling world after his cowardly actions of last night. He cost his team War Games and Lesnar will be in the building on Monday, but Triple H will also be in the house. The Game is not likely to let Lesnar's vicious chairshot and F-5 that he gave Triple H before surrendering War Games go without a receipt. Will these two wrestlers cross paths? Tune into Monday to find out. The Horsemen are on a high after War Games and this week, three of the Horsemen will be in action. Johnny Nitro squares off against Montel Vontavious Porter, Chris Masters takes on Hardcore Holly, and Carlito takes on Bobby Lashley. Ric Flair has promised us at WWE.com that the Horsemen will continue to dominate the Raw roster. We'll see if the Nature Boy lives up to his promises on Monday. CM Punk is the 2008 King of the Ring. Monday will be the first night of Punk's reign as King and what a first night he has, as he teams up with Kane to square off against Snitsky and the WWE Intercontinental Champion Abyss. Punk beat Snitsky and Abyss in battles in the KOTR Tournament on his way to his victory. Also, Kane and Snitsky have had their issues in the past. This tag team match should be a hotly contested battle. Two titans collide in the center of the ring on Raw. That's right, the Great Khali takes on "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. All this and much more this Monday on Raw.

MadMatt Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 [B]Heat Matches:[/B] -Super Crazy pins Rene Dupree with the Crazy Bomb in 3:02(B+) -Chuck Palumbo pins Larry Sweeney with a swinging uranage slam in 1:42(C) -Melina pins Candice Michelle in 2:55 with a spinning faceplant ( C) -The New Breed defeated Tommy Dreamer and Balls Mahoney when Burke pins Dreamer after a Pounce from Cor Von in 4:19(C+) [COLOR=red][B]WWE Monday Night Raw Week One, June 2008[/COLOR][/B] We see recaps from Last Night at King of the Ring, with Batista battle with John Cena, the King of the Ring Tournament bouts, with Punk becoming King, and the controversial ending of War Games with Brock Lesnar stabbing his team in the back, giving the Horsemen the victory(B+) [COLOR=red][B]Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. the Highlanders[/COLOR][/B] Typical main event on Heat tag team match. Cade and Murdoch dominate most of the bout, with Rory at first, but Robbie made the hot tag and made a bit of a comeback, but Cade decks him with a vicious lariat to score the pin in 2:53 (C) After the match ended, here comes Triple H, with his forehead bandaged up. Triple H enters the ring and the Rednecks attack him right away, but Triple H runs them over with a double clothesline. Triple H lifts up Murdoch and Pedigree to Murdoch. Triple H grabs Lance Cade and Pedigree delivered to Cade! Robbie gets up and Triple H kicks Robbie before delivering the Pedigree to Robbie! Rory gets knocked down and Triple H sets him up, before delivering the Pedigree before going for the microphone (C+) Triple H is all intense, yelling about Brock Lesnar, demanding that Lesnar show some balls for once and walk out, putting the belt on the line against Triple H, tonight on Raw! No, Lesnar and Triple H yells, calling Lesnar a sellout, a coward, and a paper champion. The Game wants just one title shot, one more shot, he’ll do anything to receive the title shot, he’ll put anything on the line, just so he gets Lesnar in the ring, one on one for the WWE Championship. Still no Lesnar as security comes out to attempt to escort Triple H from the ring. Triple H indicates that this isn’t over, allowing security to lead him off. (B+) [COLOR=red][B]Batista vs. Val Venis[/COLOR][/B] Stills are shown of Batista destroying John Cena after Cena managed to score a flash pin on him. Cena will be out for the foreseeable future. Val Venis attacks Batista at the bell, with a kneelift and a clothesline, but quickly gets overpowered and Batista works over Val Venis, with the usual offense. Huge clothesline and Batista delivers the spinebuster. Thumbs down but Val Venis manages to fight up from underneath. The announcers remind us not to count out Val Venis, as he is a former two time WWE Intercontinental Champion. Val Venis delivers a kneelift, before hooking Batista in a cradle but Batista powers out and whips him into the ropes. Another huge spinebuster and this time, thumbs down, before knee to the gut. Batista hoists up Val Venis and huge Batista Bomb lays Venis to waste. Cover and Batista scores the pin in 4:35(B) Batista continues to beat down Val Venis at the bell and sets him up for another Batista Bomb. The crowd raises to their feet and [B]Shawn Michaels rushes out, making the save, catching Batista off guard with the Superkick![/B] Shawn Michaels has saved Val Venis from getting injured, just like John Cena was last night. When Batista gets up from that Superkick, he’ll beat hot and Michaels might be regretting putting his foot in Batista’s jaw! (B+) [COLOR=red][B]One Half of the World Tag Team Champions Johnny Nitro(w/Melina and Ric Flair) vs. Montel Vontavious Porter[/COLOR][/B] Both men lock up and MVP drills Nitro with a series of jabs to the chest, before whipping Nitro into the ropes and leg lariat knocking Nitro down.

MVP taunts Flair with a strut, which causes Flair to go ballistic on the floor, before dropping a pair of elbows on Nitro. MVP picks up Nitro, but Nitro delivers a jawbreaker to MVP! MVP is injured and Nitro hooks MVP, before delivering a swinging neckbreaker. Nitro stomps away at MVP and puts on a chinlock, drawing heat from the crowd but MVP fights out, so Nitro shoves him off and back elbow smash. Nitro lifts up MVP, and hooks him, before bringing him down with a vertical facebuster! MVP is rolled over and Nitro climbs to the top rope, facing the crowd. [B]Corkscrew Moonsault misses![/b], with MVP moving out of the way. Nitro favors his neck and MVP delivers a running knee to the leg of Nitro, causing him to slump into the corner. MVP with a series of kicks to the midsection before stepping back and running Yakuza Kick in the corner. MVP bends over Nitro, putting the leg over the head, before delivering the Playmaker in 6:55 to score the pin(A) Ric Flair throws down his sports jacket and grabs the microphone from Lillian Garcia. Flair says MVP must think he’s something, with the role he’s been on recently. MVP nods, with a smug look on his face but Flair yells that MVP hasn’t proved himself as far as the Nature Boy is concerned. MVP is a great athlete, a good kid, and a bright future, but there have been many others in the history of wrestling who have had a bright future but fizzled out once they stepped up to the big time. Flair tells MVP to be the man, he’ll have to beat the man, and after all these years, Ric Flair is still the man. MVP calls for a microphone of his own, and receives it. MVP calls Flair the best wrestler in the history of wrestling, but also adds that history is in the past and MVP is the present and the future. Flair says that MVP can prove that claim, by putting his Money in the Bank title shot on the line against the Nature Boy at Vengeance. MVP says he doesn’t sweat Flair and says he’s on for Vengeance. The crowd goes wild as Ric Flair and MVP have a “wooo” off. The match is on for Vengeance. (A*-God Bless Ric Flair). [COLOR=red][B]Mark Henry vs. the Great Khali[/COLOR][/B] Staredown between both men to start out, as Mark Henry might be the world’s strongest man, but the Great Khali may be the most awesome force on Raw. Jim Ross says you really have to see Khali live to appreciate his size. Henry rushes at Khali like a bull elephant three times, but he only manages to knock Khali back a step. Khali bellows and delivers a Mongolian chop to the chest of Henry, backing him off. Another succession of Mongolian Chops but Henry ducks a kick and kicks Khali in the legs a few times, before attempting to scoop up Khali for a slam, but no go. Khali shoves Henry up and kick to the chest. Henry is rocked and Khali signals for a slam of his own but [B]The World’s Greatest Tag Team[/B] rushes into the ring, attacking Khali from behind, drawing the disqualification in 2:34 (C) Khali is fighting off the World’s Greatest Tag Team but Mark Henry is on the second rope and he leaps off right into Khali with a double axe handle. Khali is staggered, before he falls into the ropes. Khali’s arms are tangled in the ropes and Khali’s buddy Eugene attempts to run out to make the save, but the World’s Greatest Tag Team stomp him as he enters the ring, before launching Eugene to the floor. The World’s Greatest Tag Team batters Khali while he is tangled in the ropes but the pryos go off and here comes Kane. Kane enters the ring and grabs Charlie Haas by the throat. Choke Slam to Haas! Benjamin goes for a spin kick but Kane catches it, spins him around, choke and Choke Slam. Mark Henry and Kane go face to face, as security, road agents, and referees come out, before these two titans can go at it. The crowd is on their feet as Mark Henry steps back, staring a hole through Kane. We fade out from the segment on this note (B) Brock Lesnar makes his way out, as the crowd is booing Lesnar, chanting “You Sold Out” which Lesnar thanks the fans for their acknowledgment, because in fact, his star power alone had sold out tonight’s Raw, which draws more boos and a light trickle of garbage into the ring. The WWE Champion acknowledges Triple H, saying that he only has one thing to say about the Game’s challenge…he refuses. Lesnar says he has a title defense line up tonight, against a superstar of the highest magnitude, a wrestler who has been in the company for quite some time. Lesnar says he hopes he can survive this tough challenge, because his opponent is quite the badass (B+) [COLOR=red][B]WWE Championship Match: Stevie Richards vs. Brock Lesnar©[/COLOR][/B] Lesnar murders Stevie at the bell, knocking him back with a series of clotheslines, a running spear and Lesnar delivers a huge belly to belly suplex. Lesnar hoists Stevie up and delivers the F-5. Cover and count, but Lesnar pulls Stevie up at two. Lesnar kicks Stevie and underhooks him. Lesnar drills Stevie with the Pedigree, before mimicking spitting water and rolling over Stevie to score the pin in 1:05 to retain the WWE Championship. (B) Lesnar holds up his belt, to boos but they quickly turn to cheers as [b]here comes Triple H![/B] Triple H enters the ring and knocks Lesnar down with a clothesline. Triple H pounds away at Lesnar, but Lesnar quickly bolts from the ring, leaving his belt in the ring. Triple H holds up the belt, before grabbing the microphone. Hunter says Lesnar will get his belt once he gives Triple H his title shot. Lesnar turns his back, walking to the back, as Triple H drapes his belt over his shoulder, before walking off to the back with it. (B+) [COLOR=red][B]Snitsky and WWE Intercontinental Champion Abyss(w/James Mitchell) vs. Kane and The 2008 King of the Ring CM Punk[/COLOR][/B] Pier six brawl to start out, with Snitsky being left into the ring, being pinballed between Punk and Kane. The past between Abyss and CM Punk is brought up, as well as that between Kane and Snitsky. Kane batters Snitsky in the corner, delivering a clothesline an sidewalk slam before whipping Snitsky into the ropes. Kane ducks the head and Snitsky kicks him in the face, before grabbing Kane and shoving him into the corner, choking him. Tag to Abyss and Abyss and Snitsky with a double team attack. Abyss whips Kane into the ropes and running body attack before Abyss delivers a huge body splash. Two count and Abyss picks up Kane, before choking him on the middle rope, rocking horse move and Abyss pounds away on Kane, but tag made to Snitsky. Abyss holds Kane so Snitsky could kick him. Snitsky whips Kane into the ropes and big boot to the chest. Kane goes down and Snitsky climbs to the second rope, waiting for Kane. Snitsky leaps off but Kane boots Snitsky in the chest on the way down. Snitsky staggers back and Kane scoops him up, before dropping him with a powerslam! Both men are down as the race is on to the corner. Tag made to Abyss and Abyss grabs the tag to Kane, but Kane kicks him off and CM Punk is tagged in. Punk leaps into the ring, delivering a springboard dropkick! Punk knocks Snitsky out of the running with an elbowsmash. Punk steps back and delivers a leaping elbow to the head of Abyss. Cover on Abyss, for a two count. CM Punk picks up Abyss and elbow to the head, before Punk whips Abyss into the ropes. Punk charges into the corner but Abyss moves. Abyss lifts up Punk in a torture rack before sitting out! Cover hooking the leg but Kane makes the save. Snitsky enters the ring and Kane dumps him to the floor. Kane is dragged to the floor as Punk is pounded by Abyss. Abyss grabs Punk and flattens him with a choke slam! Abyss gives the signal for the Black Hole Slam, before whipping him into the ropes. Punk ducks down underneath the clothesline and Abyss ducks the head, so Punk leaps over him with a sunset flip. Punk struggles but Abyss attempts to sit down onto his chest, but Punk moves and Abyss hits the canvas tailbone first. [B]Punk decks Abyss with a running knee to the head![/B] Abyss goes down and Punk holds him down long enough to score the pin over the WWE Intercontinental Champion in 6:48 (A) General Manager Kevin Nash is backstage, where Triple H busts into his office. Triple H demands that Nash make Lesnar put the belt on the line with him but Nash remarks that Triple H is not endearing himself to him by stealing Raw property. As much as Nash doesn’t care for Lesnar after what happened last night, he still has certain rights as WWE Champion and his belt is a status symbol. Still, Nash says he might be able to get Triple H one final shot at the WWE Championship. Triple H says Nash has to the end of the show, or he will be back here, this time with a sledgehammer. Nash gets up, staring down Triple H, saying he is the law and the Game might find himself eating a Jack Knife if he gets out of line. Triple H steps back, reminding Nash that he beat him in Hell in a Cell, before walking off, still with Lesnar’s belt in his possession. (B+) [COLOR=red][B]One Half of the World Tag Team Champions Chris Masters(w/Johnny Nitro and Melina) vs. Hardcore Holly[/COLOR][/B] Hardcore Holly is on his own, because his regular tag team partner and ally Val Venis is still recovering from that Batista Bomb. Hardcore Holly attacks Masters at the bell, blistering his chest with chops and punches, before choking him in the corner. Hardcore Holly whips Masters into the corner but Holly leaps towards Masters but Masters hoists him up and drops him into the corner. Hardcore Holly staggers out and Masters with a clothesline. Masters stomps away at Hardcore Holly, before hoisting him up and whipping him into the corners. Running forearm smash to the face of Hardcore Holly.

Johnny Nitro is on the ring apron and Holly knocks him off with a dropkick! Masters kicks Hardcore Holly and goes for a power bomb but [B]Hardcore Holly counters Chris Masters with an Alabama Slam![/B] Hardcore Holly hooks the leg for the cover and scores a victory over one half of the World Tag Team Champions in 4:48(B-) Carlito is backstage, where Ric Flair gives him a pep talk, saying that the Horsemen have not been having a very good night, but Carlito can turn it all around, as he goes one on one with Bobby Lashley, who has been a thorn in the side of the Horsemen since they reformed. Flair says that Carlito can take the brass ring and move up to the next level against Lashley. Carlito remarks it’s all cool, he’s been studying Bobby Lashley matches all day and he has found a weakness in Lashley. Flair says Carlito has come a long way in the last eighteen months ago and has the killer instinct to be one of the best, if not the very best. (B+) [COLOR=red][B]Carlito(w/Ric Flair) vs. Bobby Lashley[/COLOR][/B] Lashley attacks Carlito at the bell with a high tempo offensive flurry before Carlito rolls to the floor to stall Lashley. Carlito rolls back in and out, until Lashley slides to the floor, losing his patience with Carlito’s stall tactics and chases Carlito around the ring.

All three Horsemen leave the ring, as Lashley is being attended to (B+) Triple H comes from the back after the commercial break with both the WWE Championship and a sledgehammer. Triple H once again demands that Brock Lesnar be a man and put his championship on the line. Out comes Brock Lesnar, who has four riot cops with him. Lesnar tells Triple H that the riot cops are here to protect Triple H from Lesnar and not the other way around. Lesnar once again says that Triple H does not deserve a title shot but Triple H stares down Lesnar as Kevin Nash makes his way down to the ring. The Raw General Manager enters the ring, with a microphone of his own. Nash says he has been on the phone with the half hour with Vince McMahon and says that Mr. McMahon has agreed to Lesnar will have to put his WWE Championship on the line against Triple H at Vengeance! Lesnar protests but Nash isn’t finished. Nash says this is do or die for Triple H and the title match isn’t official, unless Triple H agrees to another stipulation.

MadMatt Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 All the News in the World of Wrestling from Tuesday to Friday: [QUOTE] [B][I][U]News and Notes for Tuesday, Week Two, June 2008[/B][/I][/U] TNA…what can I say about TNA. Last night, Thursday’s Impact was taped. One more Impact after this is Slammivesary, celebrating six years of TNA. Let’s take a look at the matches that will air this Thursday. -Team 3D defeated The Pain Game. For those who don’t watch TNA, the Pain Game is consisted of Robert Roode and Matt Bentley. Team 3D scores a victory, maybe they could be the next team challenging for the TNA Tag Team Titles held by Team Pro(Lethal and Styles). (C) -Christopher Daniels successfully defended his TNA X-Division Title in another fatal four way match. The challengers this week were Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Chris Sabin. For those who are keeping score, these three men lost last week. This leads to my theory that Vince Russo uses a roulette wheel with all of the names of the TNA roster to book Impact. (C+) -Samoa Joe beat Alex Shelley. Yes, it was the TNA Champion vs. the ROH Champion. Neither belt was on the line. Joe wins the match, which was said to be a very excellent eight minute match. (B-) -The main event between Scott Steiner and Kurt Angle against Sting and Christian descended into a no contest. This was a dream partner tag team match for Angle and Christian, as a feud seems to be developing for these two men in TNA. Wild brawl to close the show between these four men, as Slammivesary is hyped up. (B) Good show as far wrestling was concerned but the booking makes you wonder sometimes. AAA continues their attempt to be a Global promotion, as they tour the states, having a Lucha show in New England of all places. Best match of the night was Juventud Guerrera pinning Octagon(Juvi’s AAA Television Title was not on the line). The main event featured La Parka Jr., El Zorro, and Scorpio Jr. defending their Mexico National Atomicos Titles for the first time against the trio of El Brazo, Gran Apache, and Abismo Negro. Nothing worth noting other than those two matches, as AAA continues to put on some of the worst wrestling shows in North America. This week’s Zero One had a double main event of Masato Tanaka defeating Iduto Hidaka and Shinjiro Ohtani over Tomohiro Ishii. Average night of Japanese wrestling. Last nights Dragon Gate show had three title matches. The first match was Ryo Saito defending his Open the Brave Gate Title successfully against Kaz Hayashi. Magnitude Kishiwada and Naruki Doi defended their WAR International Jr. Tag Team Titles against Keni’chiro Arai and Anthony W. Mori. Finally, in the main event, CIMA defeated K-ness to retain his Open the Dream Gate Title. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][I][U]News and Notes for Week Two, Wednesday, June 2008[/B][/I][/U] Last night’s NJPW Blaze of Glory was a fair show. Main event featured Shinsuke Nakamura defeating Takai Omori. Also, two titles were on the line last night. Hirooki Goto retaining his IWGP U30 Title against Mitsuhide Hirasawa and Hiroshi Tanahashi successfully defending his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against Minoru Tanaka. CMLL featured a six man tag team main event, featuring Aguila, Blue Panther, and El hijo Del Perro beating the trio of Atlantis, Averno, and Black Warrior. The semi-main event featured El Hijo Del Santo defeating Mephisto. Also, the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Chessman teamed up with Hector Garza to defeat L.A Park and Lizmark Jr. in tag team action. Big Japan had there “Spoiled My Victory” supercard last night. Quick run down of the events -Ruckus defeated Cibernetico in perhaps a match that will run neck and neck with the Great Khali against Mark Henry from Raw as the surreal match of the week. (E+) -Katsumasa Inoue defeated Ultraman Robin(D-) -Takehiro Muruhama and MEN’S Teoh over the No Fear Soliders(Takashi Sasaki and Ryuji Ito)(C-) -SUWA defeated Naoki Numazaki(D+) -Judo Suwa defeated Daisuke Sekimoto(C-) -Team Fate(Shadow WX and Tomoaki Honma) defeated Team Slayer(Ryuji Yamakawa and Abdullah Kobayashi) to retain the BJW Tag Team Titles(D+) -Ryo Saito and Ryuji Hijikata battled to a no contest (C) -Jun Kasai retained his BJW World Heavyweight Title against Tomohiro Ishii.(C) A mixture of some pretty decent wrestling and some garbage. Typical indy fare in other words. In the UK, FWA’s Television Tapings saw Doug Williams retain his FWA Heavyweight Title over Mark Sloan. Also Robbie Brookside retained his FWA Flyweight Title against Aviv Maayan. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][I][U]Thursday Week Two June 2008[/B][/I][/U] Last night’s Dragon Gate Show featured Magnitude Kishiwada and Naruki Doi retain their War International Jr. Tag Team Titles against Keni’chiro Arai and Anthony W. Mori in the latest battle in this feud. Also Ryo Saito retained his Open the Brave Gate Title against Masato Yoshino and CIMA retained his Open the Dragon Gate Title against Yoshinobu Kanemura. Still in Japan, Apache featured a brand new Apache World Heavyweight Champion, with Tengu Kaiser defeating Maunakea Mossman’s reign as champion, which started this past October. More Japan, as Big Japan had another show last night on their tour. Tomoaki Honma retained his BJW Deathmatch Title against Ryuji Yamakawa in the only title match of the evening. The double main event featured SUWA over Takehiro Muruhama and Ryuji Hijikawa over Tomohiro Ishii. World Women’s Wrestling held there “Murder Incorporated” show, taped for DVD. Quick match results are as follows -Rain and Amazing Kong over Christie Ricci and Tiana Ringer -Nikki Roxx over Sumie Sakai -Rebecca Knox over Lexie Fyfe -Malia Hosaka over Sirelda -Ariel successfully defended her WWW #1 Contenders Title over Jazz -Alicia defeated Ms. Chif -Nora Greenwald retained the WWW World Heavyweight Title over Madison. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][I][U]News Update for Friday Week Two June 2008[/B][/U][/I] Last night’s Dragon Gate Show featured Magnitude Kishiwada and Naruki Doi retain their War International Jr. Tag Team Titles against Keni’chiro Arai and Anthony W. Mori in the latest battle in this feud. In other title matches, Ryo Saito retained his Open the Brave Gate Title against Dragon Kid and CIMA retained his Open the Dragon Gate Belt against Super Shiisa. Another great show from Dragon Gate. Ring of Honor had another show last night. No idea what the DVD is going to be titled, but it has a rematch between Bryan Danielson and ROH Champion Alex Shelley for the title. Let’s take a look at the results. -BJ Whitmer over Jay Briscoe ( C) -Jimmy Jacobs and Ricky Reyes over Chad Collyer and Claudio Castagnoli(C-) -Brent Albright over Lotus(D) -Adam Pearce over Jack Evans(C-) -Chris Hero over Matt Sydal(C) -Ace Steel and Roderick Strong over Larry Sweeney and El Generico (C) -Mark Briscoe pins Davey Richards (C) -Nigel McGuinness over ROH Tag Team Champion Kevin Steen(C+) -Alex Shelley retained the ROH World Heavyweight Title over Bryan Danielson in another great match. (B-) Not as good as last week’s show and rather unspectacular across the board, with the exception of Danielson/Shelley for the ROH Title. CZW also had a show last night, dubbed “Disposable Heroes”.

MadMatt Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 [COLOR=blue][B]WWE Smackdown Preview for Friday, Week Two, June 2008[/COLOR][/B] Rey Mysterio is off of a breathtaking World Heavyweight Title Match against Matt Hardy, but it has come to the attention of Smackdown General Theodore Long that Rey Mysterio is rapidly reaching the thirty day window of not defending his United States Championship. Rey promptly signed an open contract, for any wrestler on Smackdown. That contract fell into the dastardly hands of one Armando Estrada, who signed Rey up for a United States Championship Match against the Samoan Bulldozer known as Umaga. Rey has fought the biggest and the baddest Smackdown has to offer before, but Umaga might even be more than Rey can handle, as the Samoan Bulldozer has yet to be pinned or forced to submit since arriving on Smackdown. James Storm scored big last week against Mr. Kennedy. The Tennessee Cowboy will attempt to continue his winning ways, as he squares off against the rough and tough William Regal. Regal is also coming off of a victory over the Miz, so both men will be looking to continue their momentum on Smackdown. Back at Judgment Day, Jillian and Paul London injured Ashley in a mixed tag team match, also involving Brian Kendrick. For Smackdown, Brian Kendrick has challenged Jillian and London to a mixed tag team return match. Since Ashley hasn't been cleared to compete, Kendrick has enlisted the help of the WWE Women's Champion Mickie James, who will be making a special apperance on Smackdown. Mickie and Kendrick against Jillian and London in intergender warfare on Friday Night Smackdown. The United States Title is a hot topic tonight, as Vladimir Koslov will square off against Sabu, where the winner will be the number one contender for the United States Title, facing either Umaga or Rey down the road. The vicious Russian Koslov has gone on a tear since coming to Smackdown, but don't count the former ECW World Champion Sabu. Sabu has been known to fight down from underneath as the underdog and Koslov should not be taking Sabu too lightly. Fresh off of his King of the Ring victory over Rey Mysterio, World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy will be in the house tonight. Who will Hardy's next challenger be? Only one way to find out and that's to tune into Smackdown. Also, Homicide squares off against Eric Young, the Miz locks horns with Jimmy Wang Yang, and much more.

MadMatt Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Weekend News Updates: [QUOTE] [B][U][I]News Update for Saturday Week Two, June 2008[/B][/U][/I] New Japan’s Throwback show was another night of great NJPW wrestling action. The main event featured Yuji Nagata defeating Jushin Thunder Liger. This weeks Jersey All Pro Wrestling Television Taping featured B-Boy successfully defending his JAPW Lightheavyweight Title over Joel Maximo. It wasn’t a good night for the Maximos over all as Jose lost the main event to Boog Washington. TNA has been signing some new talent recently. Former WCW Tag Team Champion and Natural Born Thriller Sean O’ Haire signed a deal with the promotion and may be making his debut in the Slammiversary 2008 show. Not too much news today, but the again it’s the weekend. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][U][I]Sunday Week Two June 2008[/B][/I][/U] AAA’s show on Spike was **** this week. Absolute **** and bile and disgusting ****. The main event featured La Parka Jr, Scorpio Jr., and El Zorro defending their Mexico National Atomicos Titles against the trio of Gran Apache, El Brazo, and Abismo Negro. AAA attempting to run these shows in America, especially in the f’n” Great Lakes is not playing at all. AAA may find themselves going the way of the dodo before we know it. CZW had Sonjay Dutt beating Justin Credible, Jigsaw retaining his CZW Lightheavyweight Title over Nate Webb, and a main event of The Survivors(Nick Gage and the Messiah) over Team Midnight(Joker and Sexxy Eddy). TNA has signed Sean Waltman to a contract, for his five millionth stint in that promotion over the last six years. I’m sure Vince is shaking in his boots at this coup from TNA. Another slow news day, but the ratings from the past week will be in tomorrow. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][I][U]News Update for Monday Week Three June 2008[/B][/I][/U] Last night’s CMLL featured the CMLL Tag Team Champions the Wrecking Krew( L.A. Park and Lizmark Jr.) retaining their titles against Cien Caras and Halloween. In the main event, Atlantis and Blue Panther defeated Aguila and El Hijo Del Perro in what was some good lucha tag team action. For the Television Ratings last week, Raw got a 4.3(4,850,400 viewers), Smackdown received a 2.7(4,165,830 viewers). TNA Impact received a 1.3. (1,466,400 viewers). AAA Monday Nights received a 0.5(564000 viewers) and the Saturday Show received a 0.2(225600 viewers). CMLL on Tuesdays received a 0.8 rating(902400 viewers) while the Sunday evening CMLL show received a 0.9 rating(1,015,200 viewers). NJPW Blaze of Glory on Tuesday Nights received a 1.3 rating(1,466,400 viewers) while Throwback received a 1.1(1,240,800 viewers). Finally, Zero One received the usual minimal rating of 0.01(a whopping 11,280 viewers). NEWS LETTER SPOTLIGHT: Each week, we look at a random supercard from a promotion and I’ll analyze the matches that it has to offer. This week’s supercard is TNA Bound for Glory 2007, which was held in Week Four, October 2007. -America’s Most Wanted over Norman Smiley and Petey Williams- this was during a brief period of time where AMW got back together. It only lasted a few weeks before James Storm was signed with WWE (C) -Robert Roode and Matt Bentley defeated Tomko and Lance Hoyt. Bentley was introduced as the newest member of Robert Roode Enterprises, shortly after Serotonin broke up when Havok(Johnny Devine) was released, Kaz(Frankie Kazarian) went to WWE, and Raven just disappeared. Fairly unremarkable tag team match, with the team that would go on to be dubbed the Pain Game shortly thereafter. (D) -Jacqueline Moore defeated Shark Boy-this was a comedy match, nothing more nothing less. Moving along…(D) -Sonjay Dutt pins Jerry Lynn…this was a student vs. teacher match, where Sonjay Dutt won. Didn’t really lead to anything. (D+) -Rhino and Brother Devon defeated Alex Shelley and Kip James. I believe this was originally to be Team 3D against VKM, but for reasons only known to Vince Russo, this match was changed. Also, I seem to remember an Alex Shelley vs. Rhino match in the works. (C+) -AJ Styles defeated Simon Diamond, Chase Stevens, and Jeff Jarrett. This was to get Jeff Jarrett onto the show. Several months later, the Jarretts were pushed out of TNA, yet Vince Russo remains. This is TNA. (C) -Jay Lethal and B.G. James defeated Chris Sabin and Austin Starr. This was post-Black Machismo but pre-Team Pro for Jay Lethal. You could tell that B.G. James was a fish out of water in this match. Sadly, in April 2008, B.G. James passed away because of a drug overdose, while VKM held the TNA World Tag Team Titles. (C) -Brother Ray defeated Ron “The Truth” Killings. Ah yes, the fabled Brother Ray singles push, which amounted to nothing but a bunch of victories over the Truth and that one singles match with Sting at Genesis. Oddly enough, Devon was the one who got the Pay Per View Main Event during the brief Team 3D split up but more on that later. Decent match. (C+) -TNA X-Division Champion Brother Runt defeated Andy Douglas. Brother Runt as X-Division Champion was akin to the Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea holding the WCW Cruiserweight Championship during the latter days of WCW. His matches nearly killed the division, as he beat the likes of Alex Shelley, Austin Starr, and Chris Sabin, thus nearly tanking the credibility of the three, Sabin especially. Oh yeah, and this ungodly long feud with Andy Douglas that dragged on for months. It would be like if WWE put the WWE Intercontinental Title on, Val Venis, and had him feud with Viscera for months and months at a time. Much like Runt, Venis is a decent worker, but has been jobbed so far into the ground that he doesn’t have the credibility to hold the number two belt in the company.Anyway, Runt retained the title. This was a five month title reign that ended when Christopher Daniels beat Runt for the belt at Against All Odds. (C) -Sting defeated Hernandez. Speaking of lost in orbit, Hernandez ladies and gentlemen. Konnan and Homicide were signed by WWE, leaving LAX in the cold and Hernandez with nothing to do. Therefore, this job to Sting in a solid, if unremarkable match. (B) -TNA World Champion Christian Cage defeated Samoa Joe. This match caused a near **** storm on the Internet after it happened. Joe had been chasing Christian for months, and it looked like Bound for Glory would be Joe’s night to win the title. Was not to be, as Christian cheated to win. Many were shocked that the crowd didn’t burn down the Impact Zone that night. Joe got his title the next month, beating Christian Cage in a Three Way Dance that also involved Brother Devon. If you want to know why Devon was in that match, well, it’s Vince Russo! (B+) -Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner defeated Senshi and Christopher Daniels. One night reunion for 2/3rds of Triple X. Steiner and Angle were teaming up for no good reason, other than to get them on the Pay Per View. Actually, if I remember rightly, Angle was in some feud with Senshi that never fully materialized much past maybe one Impact match. (B) That’s it for the news update for today, along with our little trip down memory lane. [/QUOTE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple H entered his office, threatening Nash with a beating with a sledgehammer. Nash says that him and the Game may go way back, but no one threatens Big Sexy. Nash calls out Triple H who makes his way out. The Game says that he got what he wanted, so he has no beef with Nash, even through he forced him to put his career on the line in exchange for another title shot. Nash replies that he is glad, because he wants to give Triple H a gift, a warm up match for Vengeance. Hunter responds that no one man could beat him in the center of the ring which Nash replies that it is a fortunate thing, because Triple H is facing two men, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, tonight on Raw.

With a completely straight face, Shelton Benjamin challenges the Great Khali to a Punjabi Prison Match next week on Raw! Shelton proclaims that he will beat the Great Khali in his own match, as Haas looks as if he thinks Shelton has lost his mind.

(B+) [COLOR=red][B]Rhino(w/Carlito) vs. Viscera[/COLOR][/B] A clip is shown last week from Carlito’s victory over Bobby Lashley, thanks to a bit of help from Rhino.

MadMatt Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Tuesday to Friday News Updates: [QUOTE] [U][I][B]News and Notes for Week Three, June 2008[/B][/U][/I] Impact was taped last evening and it was the go home show for the Slammiversary Pay Per View. A recap of the events that will air this Thursday on Spike TV. -Team Pro(Jay Lethal and AJ Styles) put their TNA Tag Team Titles on the line against Tomko and Steve Corino. Corino made his return to TNA, although this is his first appearance in the Impact Zone. This was Team Pro’s first title defense. (C) -Austin Starr pins Matt Bentley. An X-Division Match. Decent match, there was worse things that TNA could have put on to fill up six minutes of time. (C) -Kurt Angle and TNA World Champion Samoa Joe defeated Christian Cage and TNA X-Division Champion Christopher Daniels. This was another dream partner tag team match involving Christian and Angle picking partners. Best match in some time in TNA, with Joe pinning Daniels with the Muscle Buster. (B+) -Sting beat Senshi with the Scorpion Deathlock. This match elevated Senshi, showing that he can wrestle with the bigger name players and Sting had to struggle to beat him. Odd main event, but acceptable wrestling. (B-) Overall, a pretty good Impact leading into Slammiversary. AAA was the usual horrid pile of drivel, with some decent moments, and a dead crowd. This week, they are in the North West. The main event featured Scorpio Jr. and El Zorro beating El Brazo and Gran Apache. Also, the Real Main Event(Silver Cat and El Hijo Del Anibal) won the Mexico National Tag Team Titles over La Parka Jr. and Octagon. Zero One was unspectacular. No one watches their TV show. Masato Tanaka defeated Danshoku Dino in the main event. Yay! Dragon Gate was the usual rocking show. Susumu Mochikuzki ended CIMA’s reign as Open the Dream Gate Champion. Two month reign, but CIMA managed to defend the belt seventeen times before losing it. Also the War Jr. International Tag Team Titles were defended when Mag and Doi beat Ryo Saito and Masato Yoshino in a great tag team match. That’s it for the wrestling for today. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][I][U]News Update Wednesday Week Three June 2008[/B][/I][/U] Last week’s NJPW Blaze of Glory show featured a double main event of Yuji Nagata beating Hiroshi Tanahashi and Takao Omori defeating Koji Kanemoto. Also Hirooki Goto defended his NJPW U30 Title successfully against Mitsuhide Hirasawa. CMLL was headlined by a six man tag team match involving Mr. Aguila, Blue Panther, and Atlantis defeating El Hijo Del Santo, El Hijo del Perro, and Averno. No title matches to note of, but it was a rather solid night of lucha action across the body. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][U][I]News Update Week Three Thursday June 2008[/B][/U][/I] Last night, we have a new FWA Flyweight Champion when Spud defeated Robbie Brookside to capture the championship. Brookside has held the championship since last November. Also, FWA Champion Doug Williams won a non title victory over Hade Vensen. Overall an average show, with the main event being great. The Apache Army promotion had two title bouts. BADBOY Hido defeated Kamikaze to capture the Apache National Title. Kamikaze has held the belt since last September. Also Tengu Kaiser had his first successful title defense of the Apache World Heavyweight Title over Minoru Fujita. Also Chris Kanyon’s career in the Orient continues with a loss to Asian Cougar. Another independent show in Japan, not much more to say about that. Big Japan had the latest show on their latest tour last night as well. The top three bouts were Tomoaki Honma defeating MEN’s Teioh to retain the BJW Deathmatch title, SUWA defeating Tomohiro Ishii, and in the main event Ryo Saito defeating Ryuji Hijikata. All three feature bouts were solid matches but Big Japan just continues to be another promotion in the Japanese landscape. That’s it for the news today. See you tomorrow. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][U][I]News and Notes for Friday Week Three June 2008[/B][/I][/U] Last night’s ROH show was a rare misfire. Now, granted, nothing was bad, it’s just that we’ve been spoiled by the great ROH shows as of late and thus it left everyone feeling a little flat. To review… -Larry Sweeney over Lotus(D+) -Lacey over Daizee Haze(D+) -Chris Hero defeated Jack Evans(C) -Adam Pearce defeated El Generico(C) -Roderick Strong defeated Brent Albright(C+) -The Briscoe Brothers defeated Ricky Reyes and Jimmy Jacobs in first tag match the Briscoes have competed in as a team in three months. (C+) Davey Richards and Matt Sydal defeated Chad Collyer and Claudio Castagnoli. (C) -Bryan Danielson humbled Ace Steel in less than five minutes. Danielson wants another crack at Shelley and the ROH Championship(C+) -Alex Shelley retained his ROH Heavyweight Title against BJ Whitmer with the Border City Stretch(C+) Dragon Gate rocked with three title matches. Ryo Saito retained his Open the Brave Gate Title against Kaz Hayashi, CIMA, Mag, and Yoshino retained the Open the Triangle Gate Titles against Doi, Shiisa, and Dragon Kid. Finally, in the main event, Susumi Mochizuki retained his Open the Dream Gate Title against K-ness. Another hot crowd for this great now of wrestling action. That’s it for the news for today.

MadMatt Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 [COLOR=blue][B]WWE Smackdown Preview for Friday Week Three, June 2008[/COLOR][/B] It is time for another edition of the most exciting show on Friday Night's Smackdown! Over the past couple of weeks, World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy has been having his share of problems with Deuce and Domino. Last week, his brother Jeff made the save, helping him fight off the men from the wrong side of the tracks. Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long has announced that a dream tag team match will take place this week on Smackdown, featuring Deuce and Domino squaring off against the Hardy Boyz. No doubt this will be a tag team battle to watch. Over the past few weeks, the spectre of the Undertaker has been haunting Umaga and Armando Estrada, but the Dead Man has not surface. Estrada has informed WWE.com that Umaga wants the Undertaker and he wants him face to face this Friday on the CW! Will the Dead Man show up? The last time we saw The Undertaker in person, he suffered cracked ribs at the hands of Umaga, following the victory by the Samoan Bulldozer back at Judgment Day. Two weeks ago, James Storm scored a tainted countout victory over Mr. Kennedy. That loss has been haunting Kennedy, so he has challenged Storm to a rematch this week, which Storm has accepted. This week it will be Mr. Kennedy colliding one on one with James Storm. Kennedy needs this victory if he wishes to get back on track to recapture the World Heavyweight Title, but Storm will also open the eyes of a lot of people should he walk out tonight with the win. Eric Young has had his problems with the Gringo Killerz in recent weeks, but this week on Smackdown, he has a chance to really elevate his game. His opponent is the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion Edge. The Rated-R Superstar has been riding a wave of success coming off of his victory over Mr. Kennedy and is looking to regain the World Heavyweight Title. Eric Young might be the spoiler to Edge's World Heavyweight Title plans. Cryme Tyme have hit Smackdown with a 2-0 win streak and they have their legions of fans. One man who is not a fan of Cryme Tyme is Booker T. Booker T's partner Shannon Moore was beaten by Cryme Tyme last week, when Booker, in disgust, walked out. Booker has challenged Shad and JTG to a return match this week, but Booker T says that his partner will not be Shannon Moore. Who has Booker T convinced to be his partner on Smackdown? Tune into the CW to find out! Also Matt Striker squares off against Brian Kendrick and the WWE Tag Team Champions the Gringo Killerz face off against the veteran team of Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki. All this and more on the CW, Friday Night Smackdown. [B]Confirmed Matches:[/B] Deuce and Domino vs the Hardy Boyz Mr. Kennedy vs. James Storm Edge vs. Eric Young Booker T and a Mystery Partner vs. Cryme Tyme Matt Striker vs Shannon Moore WWE Tag Team Champions the Gringo Killerz vs. Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty.
