[TOWWFFC] Re: Backstage Problems with Batista and Rey Mysterio

 

Oops my bad. I meant to say all lead announcers, not Cole directly, his name just popped in my head.

Apparently it's after the next PPV for Batista, but no one knows for sure.

And Cole has a man crush on Rey every week? Cole's not even on Smackdown and doesn't do the SD matches on Superstars...so when is he man crushing? =)

Subject: [TOWWFFC] Extreme Rules - Final Results

 
6 -- Women's champion MICHELLE MCCOOL (w/Vickie Guerrero and Layla) vs. BETH
PHOENIX -- Women's Title match -- Extreme Makeover match

Various make-up products were positioned on a table ringside for the Women's
title match. After the ring intros, McCool took control of the match and
used what appeared to be an ironing board or some other household item to
choke Beth in the ring. Beth then took hairspray to the face ("borrowing"
from the Beautiful People's gimmick) and McCool scored a nearfall as Vickie
and Layla shouted encouragement from ringside. The tables were turned on
McCool and Beth used various weapons to take control of the match. After a
back and forth exchange using more ironing boards and other assorted
"weapons," Beth eventually hit the Glam Slam center ring and scored the pin
on McCool to win the Women's Title.

WINNER: Beth at 6:38 to capture the Women's Title. An entertaining- at-times
"attraction" match, but not an endorsement of women's wrestling with the
focus on the outside players and various products from the home section at
Target. At the end of the day, Beth won the Women's Title and perhaps that
will be a good sign for the division going forward. We'll see. (*)

Backstage: Josh Mathews brought in Chris Jericho ahead of the steel cage
semi-main event match. Mathews asked Jericho about his loss to an NXT Rookie
on Tuesday night. Jericho smirked and said one loss won't affect him or
change his legendary status. Jericho said losing to a no-name - Mathews
interrupted and said his name is Heath Slater. Jericho said losing to Heath
Slater means nothing when he ends Edge's career tonight. Typical empty words
from a heel. Jericho said it ends tonight.

In-ring: Edge came out first for the semi-main event steel cage match. Edge
surveyed the cage and smiled as he "visualized the damage" he could inflict
on Jericho tonight. Cue up Jericho's music to bring out Jericho for the
WrestleMania re-match, this time without a title on the line. Jericho
refused to enter the cage, so he grabbed a chair and approached the door,
but Edge smashed him with a dropkick. Edge attacked Jericho outside the
cage, reminiscent of some of the Lockdown PPV matches last Sunday. Jericho
eventually crawled into the cage and Edge entered the cage before
emphatically shutting the cage door shut to begin the match.

THIRD HOUR

7 -- CHRIS JERICHO vs. EDGE -- Steel Cage match

As soon as Jericho entered the cage, he tried to climb out, but Edge grabbed
him by the trunks to yank him back down to the mat to begin the battle.
Jericho eventually started to work on Edge's previously-injured ankle,
including teases of the Walls of Jericho. Edge escaped a second attempt and
hit a big boot to the face. Edge then went to the corner and teased the
spear while his eyes bugged out of his head. Jericho came to his feet and
ran to the cage door to escape and almost ran out of the cage, but Edge
grabbed him by the feet. While leaning over the door, Jericho grabbed a
steel chair that was still there for whatever reason. Apparently the ref
with control of the door is in cahoots with Jericho for not removing the
chair. It's one of those little things that doesn't make sense that WWE
doesn't want you to think about. Jericho then KO'ed Edge by smashing Edge's
face with the cage door. Jericho could have left the cage at this point, but
he opted to walk back into the cage. Jericho then teased a chair shot, but
Edge ducked and smashed Jericho with the spear. Edge made a cover, but
Jericho kicked out at two.

Edge freaked out with Jericho kicking out, then he slowly re-set his
offensive attack. Jericho took advantage by dropping Edge with a codebreaker
center ring. Jericho made a cover, but Edge kicked out. Jericho started
climbing the cage wall, apparently content with just winning the match at
this point. Jericho reached the other side of the cage wall, but Edge
grabbed Jericho by the neck to drag Jericho back inside the cage. Jericho
then scrambled back up the cage wall and tried to escape again, but Edge
dragged him back to the other side of the cage again. Edge then sat down
atop the cage and pounded on Jericho before Jericho fell to the mat and Edge
ended up seated on the top rope. Suddenly, Jericho sprung to life with a
flying codebreaker taking Edge off the top rope to the mat. Sick spot.
Jericho couldn't make an immediate cover, so he only scored a two count on
the pin attempt.

Jericho, exasperated, shouted, "Stay down, you stupid idiot!" before landing
a chopblock to the back of the knee. Jericho grabbed a chair and shouted
that Edge is finished, but Edge moved out of the way of a chair shot and
flung Jericho face-first into the cage wall. Jericho again tried to scramble
up the cage wall to escape, but Edge sent him face-first into the trusses.
Jericho recoiled back to the mat and Edge could have climbed the cage to
escape, but he climbed back down to the mat. Jericho started crawling toward
the door, but Edge kicked him in the gut before smashing the cage door into
Jericho's ankle and leg. Jericho started crying that he didn't want anymore,
so Edge twisted Jericho's ankle. Jericho crawled over to the cage door, but
Edge measured Jericho for a spear and connected center ring. Edge made the
cover and that's all she wrote with the win.

WINNER: Edge at 20:01. A reasonably intense cage match that suffered from
the usual silliness of being able to escape the cage through the door, but
then wrestlers inevitably try the hard way of climbing the cage wall. This
match was enjoyable if you shut your brain off and didn't try to over-think
the psychology and rules here. This match will inevitably be compared to the
Angle vs. Anderson cage match at Lockdown last Sunday, but Angle-Anderson
was just on a completely different level where they were able to take their
feud to a very violent and intense place. Edge vs. Jericho was safe, PG
violence that tried to tell a good story in what was sold to the audience as
the final match of this feud. (***1/4)

In-ring: Batista came out first for the WWE Title match main event. With the
spotlight on him all the way to the ring, Batista paused for a round of "You
tapped out chants" before John Cena's music hit to bring out the champion to
a typically loud reception. Cole put over Cena as the face of WWE and
cross-over star, which eats at Batista. Striker added, "And he's the WWE
champion." Justin Roberts handled the formal ring intros with Batista
spitting into the audience. Cena received a mixed reaction as Cole put over
a big-fight feel to the title match.

8 -- WWE champion JOHN CENA vs. BATISTA -- WWE Title match -- Last Man
Standing match

The bell sounded and there was a loud "Cena sucks" chant right after some
loud cheers mixed with the boos during the ring intro. Cena waited out the
chant, then locked up with Batista to begin the match. Batista bailed to the
outside after an initial lock-up, then Batista re-entered and squared off
with Cena, who landed a flying shoulder tackle. Batista rolled to the
outside again and grabbed a steel chair to bring into the ring. Batista
missed with a chair shot and Cena landed a bulldog out of the corner.
Batista then cut off Cena to end Cena's early control. Cena was on the mat
and the ring mic was a little too close to Cena as Cena called out a spot
sequence from his back. Batista then wrapped Cena's leg across the ringpost
before grabbing a chair to smash Cena's leg. Cena sold the effects and
Batista began working over the leg with a methodical attack. Batista then
slapped on a figure four leglock and the announcers referenced Ric Flair
training Batista.

Cena reversed the hold and applied the pressure to Batista, who broke the
hold and sold the effects to his legs. Both men reached their feet and
landed a double-clothesline for another application of a ten count. They
reached their feet and Cena did his full You Can't See Me routine before
dropping the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Batista took the move, then rolled to the
outside and grabbed a gimmick from under the ring to jab into Cena's gut.
Cena rolled back into the ring as Batista retrieved a chair, then Batista
missed with a chair shot (the theme of the night) and Cena dropped Batista
with the Attitude Adjustment on the chair. Batista was down for a nine
count, then he shoved the ref into the ropes as Cena was up top, causing
Cena to crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Batista then smashed Cena with
two straight spears and the ref applied a ten count. Cena made it to his
feet at eight, then Batista smashed him with a forearm and went back to the
outside looking for some more weapons from the toolbox. After scattering
tools, Batista retrieved a table, which drew a pop since the audience has
been waiting all night for a table.

Batista placed the table in the ring, but Cena dropped him with the STF out
of nowhere. Batista flung him away, though, and Cena half-crashed through
the table in the corner. The crowd booed the half-table spot before Cena
reached his feet at an eight count. Cena rolled to the outside and Batista
rammed him into the ringpost. "I hate you, Batista!" a child shouted at
Batista. "I hate you, too!" Batista shouted back. Classic heel Batista. Cena
got up again, so Batista whipped him hard all the way across the floor
through the gimmicked guardrail by the timekeeper's table. A great visual
there. Cena was KO'ed on the remains of the guardrail, but he reached his
feet on wobbly legs at nine. Batista snapped and tore up the announce table,
even aiming a monitor right at Michael Cole, who dodged the monitor by about
an inch. Batista then put ring steps by the announce table and dragged Cena
up the steps for a Batista Bomb. Suddenly, Cena reversed and threw Batista
off the ring steps through the announce table with the Attitude Adjustment.
The crowd exploded, then Cena ran into the ring as the ref applied a ten
count. Batista stirred at seven, then reached his feet at nine-and-a-half
with help from the guardrail. Great sequence and drama.

Cena sold shock that Batista was still in the match, then he went under the
ring and grabbed a table of his own and placed it in the ring. Cena then
rolled Batista back into the ring and slowly approached Batista, who
suddenly dropped Cena through the table with a spinebuster. Cena made it to
his feet before ten, then Batista got that evil look in his eye and grappled
Cena to smash him with the Batistabomb center ring. Batista screamed at the
ref to make the count, then Cena teased up at eight, teased up at nine, and
popped to his feet just before ten. Batista instantly went for the ring
steps for another Bomb, but Cena countered with the STF center ring. Batista
started tapping, but it didn't matter. Batista then started to fade out and
Cena released the hold with Batista selling that he was KO'ed. Batista
stirred at four, then pulled himself up at seven, and reached his feet at
nine. Cena took a deep breath, then ran over to Batista and rammed him into
the ringpost. Cena grabbed duct tape and proceeded to tie up Batista's legs
around the ringpost with the tape. They're running out of PPV time here as
Cena continued to wrap and wrap and wrap Batista's legs. Cena was doen with
his tape job and ran back into the ring to stare at Batista, who was trapped
like an animal in barbed wire. Cena did the "You Can't See Me" hand-wave in
Batista's face as Batista remained tied in the ringpost at the count of ten
to give Cena the win. Cena accepted his WWE Title belt as Batista pounded
the mat in frustration as the announcers put over Cena out-smarting Batista.
Cena then stood on the ring steps and posed with the title belt in front of
Batista. They quickly replayed the finish of the title match as they
approached the three-hour mark. Cole signed off with a plug for the Draft as
Cena celebrated in front of Batista once again. One last shot of Cena posing
with the belt on the stage concluded the PPV literally one second before
they hit the top of the hour.

WINNER: Cena at 24:35 to retain the WWE Title. That was an awesome war. It
was Batista's kind of match and Cena has a good history of LMS matches,
especially the battle with Umaga at the 2007 Royal Rumble. The match had
that Angle-Anderson level of intensity, save for blood, that was saved for
the main event. One potential criticism of the match is the relative
no-selling of big moves, with both men continuing to get up and get up and
get up after each successive finisher or big spot. WWE tried to cover for
that, though, by creating a big atmosphere and the announcers did an
effective job selling the "war." Cena might not be the best wrestler to ever
set foot into a ring, but he added another great PPV main event match to his
resume. (****1/4)

[TOWWFFC] Hogan on Stern

 

Hulk Hogan was on Howard Stern's radio show Thursday. Here's some highlights.

Howard grilled Hulk and his girlfriend about their sex life.
We learn that Hulk has a big one.

Hogan said the TNA Knockouts get the biggest ratings.

Richard Christy asked if it was true that back in the 80s Leaping Lanny Poffo could contort himself to give himself oral. Hogan said the rumor was true, although he never saw it in person.

[TOWWFFC] Re: Mickie James Made Advances on Two Married Superstars

 

That's interesting, since they had a storyline for a short while of Cena and James being interested in each other.
