King Cucaracha

Brought to you by American Express Taped: April 5th, 2007 First air date: April 6th, 2007 (check local listings for airings in your area) Announce team: Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura Lead correspondent: Tony Brannigan Hey, Syndicated is back in it's regular format, although not quite at it's regular timeslot. Ah well. Maybe next week. This week, the fallout from AngleMania continued. And the fact that half the roster have already flown off to France ahead of next week's episode of HeldDOWN~! continued. That's like two full jumbo jets worth of wrestlers, btw. No lie. Anyway, some of those that have stayed behind in Fresno were in town with Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura, where tonight in the main event it's every team for themselves in a Fourway Elimination Match! Plus some other stuff maybe. Syndicated got underway however with Syndicated's own Disco Duck, Vinny Valentine! The disco dancing dandy wasn't in a good mood after his ultimate sonning at AngleMania VII at the hands of Mister WARRIOR. The guy offered handjobs for crying out loud! You don't do that unless you're in real trouble, take it from someone who knows. Vinny grabbed the mic and described sadly the week he's had. Humbled in front of 90,000 people. Ridiculed in every discothèque in California. The endless hours of hot, hot showers trying to erase the painful memory of the HUMP Handle Slam. And the chants of "DISCO SUCKS" from heartless Fresno fans that started up halfway through his bitchfest. Vinny vowed to "never let the disco flame die" however and promised that tonight, he was going to get his groove back... again! ***Vinny Valentine -VS- Dr. Max Anderson*** His opponent Dr. Max Anderson found much more favour with the crowd in Fresno as he performed his stripogram routine on the way to the ring. Vinny didn't much appreciate that and jumped Anderson as he slid into the ring, putting the boots to the Doc. From there Vinny looked to be in control, as he worked Anderson over with some old-school wrestling. Back-rakes, blatant chokes, closed fists with the referee distracted by the old "Hey, look over there" trick, you name it. The Disco Duck got caught ducking his head on an irish whip however and a sunset flip got 2 for Anderson. The doctor mounted a quick comeback with Vinny off guard, striking hard and fast with his Japanese influenced offence. Trying to get away from the onslaught Valentine rolled to the outside, only to be wiped out with a Tope Con Hílo on the floor! Half conscious, Vinny danced away in a groggy stuppor before being thrown back inside. He managed to avoid a crossbody from the top though and Dr. Max crashed and burned. Calling for the end, Valentine put on his Boogie Shoes and went for his patented shining wizard. But Anderson saw more than his fair share of those in HI-YAH and caught Vinny with the Anderson Spinebuster to score the quick 1, 2, 3 on The Disco Duck! Winner: Dr. Max Anderson, via pinfall A 3 minute long video package played, storying the events of AngleMania VII to the sounds of Alix Maria Spezia's rendition of "Californication". The video then faded into another package, reminding us that Indianapolis, Indiana would be the sight of AngleMania VIII next year. I don't know the exact date (useful!), but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say March 29th, 2009. Yeah, that'll do. But first... THE MILAN SPECTACULAR May 1st 2008, from beautiful Milan, Italy Presented live on TSM! (check local listings) One person excited about the upcoming European tour is Leon Rodez. Not just as an excuse to get on the show this week, oh no, he was genuinely excited as he spoke to our reporter at an event for a local children's charity organised in conjunction with OAOAST AngleMania VII. "This is one of the great aspects of being an OAOAST superstar, the chance to travel the world. It's gonna be great, seeing all these fantastic new sights and meeting a brand new set of OAOAST fans. A real great experience. And I get to share it all with a group of great people I'm proud to call friends. Like MARV, MEL, Jock and Baron, Melody, Tyler and Shayne... Jumbo..." And Maggie? "Oh, yeah... that goes without saying. I mean, they say Paris is the most romantic city in the world, right? Must be all that garlic and strong vintage cheese they eat there. But, no, seriously, looking forward to proving it." Two-On-One Handicap Match ***Faqu w/James Blonde -VS- The All-American Boys*** The new 6-Man Tag Team Champion wasted little time with the scourge of US patriotism, Liberty and Freedom. The All Americans had the numbers advantage but were unfortunately required to tag in and out, which pretty much negated most of that advantage from the start. Liberty was bounced around by Faqu for a while before he literally palmed him into his corner to let Freedom have a go. He fared little better though and a thunderous Samoan Drop crushed him. When Liberty came in to help out, he got smashed back down and with James Blonde grinning away on the outside, Faqu decimated the masked Americans. Both recieved running BUTT smashes to the head in the corner, before Faqu dumped Liberty right on his head with a Backdrop Suplex. Freedom then recieved the Death By Samoan and both were pinned for the easy victory. Winner: Faqu, via pinfall Up on the interview stage, Tony Brannigan was already standing by with Nathaniel Black, the other third of the 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Nathaniel took the opportunity to praise his tag team partners and how the three of them have adapted to life after HI-YAH despite the 'prejudice' of OAOAST President AngleSault. Black claimed that for months, he has been denied what he wanted. Top of that list being a one on one match with Jamie O'Hara. Their grudge started back in World Domination Wrestling, almost a year ago. And until now, no one on one match, ever! That all changes next Thursday night in Paris though. And Black claimed that by finally putting an end to Jamie O'Hara and his showboating ways, he can then move on to everything else he's been deprived of. Like prestigious matches. Like a shot at the World Championship, against "that sawn off midget" Tha Puerto Rican. And like respect, "whether these silly Yanks like it or whether they don't!" NEXT WEEK ON HELDDOWN~! Coming to you from Paris, France The hunt for a new #1 Contender begins... Leon Rodez vs. Christian Wright Todd Cortez vs. Spanish Fly The Mad Cappa vs. The Cuban Wall Nathaniel Black vs. Jamie O'Hara Also, a shot at the OAOAST Tag Team Titles on the line... The Badd Boyz, New World Champion Tha Puerto Rican and US Champion Colombian Heat vs. Thunderkid and Reject Four Corners Tag Team Elimination Match ***The Christ Air Express -VS- The Beverly Hills Blonds -VS- Los Diablos De Fuego -VS- The Mardi Gras Homewrecking Crew*** The Syndicated main-event saw four teams looking to do their standing in the tag team rankings the world of good, in one match. The Blonds coming off the back of an AngleMania victory, The Express at a loss on the other side of that same match and Los Diablos and The Homewrecking Crew just happy for a paycheck. Moracca and Simon Singleton started things out, renewing their old rivalry in the process. The action was fast and furious and there were eight guys out there, so I'm sure as heck not going to describe every tag. The long and short of it was, The Blonds and the Homewrecking Crew formed a working relationship early on as they isolated MARV from his corner. Los Diablos wisely didn't provide too much help for him either in the elimination environment. However, the 'working relationship' broke down pretty quick when Rico took too much time fondling his moustache and ended up hitting Singleton with a clothesline instead of MARV. A quick tag was made to MEL, who took it to Rico, Lucius and Simon. Just as MEL got going though, Ned made a blind tag. MEL's momentary distraction meant he missed the Shooting Star Press on Lucius. But after a moment's gloating, Lucius got caught with the 90210 Enziguri and was pinned by Blanchard. With The Homewrecking Crew gone, Ned tried to get the same working relationship going with Los Diablos to go four on two on The CAE. But those sneaky Mexicans double-crossed Ned and as he went up for a Superplex in their corner, they came into the ring and PULLED HIS TRUNKS DOWN! Luckily, in a very small fashion, Ned wasn't going commando underneath but it was still a good enough shot for Los Diablos. Unluckily, Ned didn't seem to realise his ass was hanging out and seemed unsure of why Los Diablos were so eager to hover around him and go along with his plan after hitting the Superplex. But he went along with the flow all the same, Moracca lucky enough to assist him in a Wheelbarrow body attack and Mariachi with the priviledge to celebrate with a firm BUTT slap. Finally Ned realised something was up, but Los Diablos went on the attack the moment his tights were back up. Los Diablos hit a couple of quick double-teams, but got caught going down by Ned... uh, that is ducking their heads off an irish whip. Ned clubbed Mariachi down and Simon came in to clothesline Moracca in the back of the head. Together, The Blonds then set Mariachi up for the Double Feature Flapjack and eliminated them from the match as well. If you guessed that The Christ Air Express and The Beverly Hills Blonds would be the final two teams, give yourself a point for paying attention all these weeks. The two warring teams picked up the pace with the others gone. In stereo, leapfrogs were performed but clotheslines were ducked and running DDTs wiped out the made-over Blonds. MARV and MEL almost had Simon beat after sending him to the Pearly Gates (Flatliner/Enziguri combo), but Ned barely made the save. The Express put Ned outside but made the mistake of forgetting about him and concentrating on Simon. Never one to turn your back to, Ned picked his spot and after The Christ Air Express put Simon down and went for Sent From Above, he pounced. MEL picked MARV up in the electric chair, ready to drop him, but they both got dropped thanks to a chopblock by Ned! MEL clutched his knee in pain, while Ned hung MARV up across the top rope with the Stun Gun and Singleton followed up with an Inverted Powerslam type manoeuver to pick up a third victory and win the match for The Beverly Hills Blonds, having eliminated all three of their opposing teams! Winners: The Beverly Hills Blonds, via pinfall And The Blonds celebrated as we went off the air. Goodnight!

The European Tour #1 Contenders Tournament without a catchy name begins! First Round aka Qaurter Finals aka Quarter Finals Leon Rodez vs. Christian Wright (via Pheonix Fury Legdrop) Todd Cortez vs. Spanish Fly The Mad Cappa vs. The Cuban Wall (via Ed Wood Caufield) Nathaniel Black vs. Jamie O'Hara Plus, a certain someone else is in action, to be explained in the course of the show.

We find ourselves opening backstage in the office of OAOAST President, AngleSault. ANGLESAULT Good evening and thank you joining us here from San Diego, just a week removed from one of the greatest nights in the history of this sport, AngleMania VII. We thank all our great fans for joining us and making it such a monumental event. But that was then and now, the OAOAST will move on. ANGLESAULT Over the next few weeks, the OAOAST will be embarking on a tour of some of Europe's biggest cities, before returning to the US the week of School's Out. And at that very Pay Per View, the new OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion Tha Puerto Rican will make his first big-show defence. ANGLESAULT To determine the new number one contender, there will be an eight-man single elimination tournament, held over our events in Paris, Barcelona and finally Glasgow, Scotland. The winner will go on to School's Out to face PRL for the World Title. And what's more, it will be an opportunity similar to that which PRL took at AngleMania, as the eight participants are all competitors who have never been World Champion before. It's the ultimate opportunity for one rising star in the OAOAST. The eight men involved will be... one third of the 6-Man Tag Team Champions, Nathaniel Black... Jamie O'Hara... Spanish Fly... "The Urban Legend" Todd Cortez... The Mad Cappa... the winner of the 2008 Lethal Rumble, The Cuban Wall... Christian Wright... and "Silky Smooth" Leon Rodez. The first round of matches will take place in Paris, France in two weeks time and we hope you'll all join us on TSM. Thank you.

COLE AngleMania certainly lived up to the expectations and the hype and if you weren't with us live... well, I really don't know what to tell you. You missed one of the greatest events in OAOAST history and nothing could possibly have been more important. But, if you did miss it, replays will be airing this Sunday and into the beginning of next week. Check your local pay per view listings for more information on how to relive the magic of AngleMania VII. *BbwWbAhmotherfuckerLlIiiBbbEErRrAATtTeeyYyOUUurRrMmmMmMiIInNnDddDd!!* "YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" ("BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!") COLE And speaking of AngleMania, here comes a man who picked up the biggest victory of his life! Marching out, Bohemoth is met largely by the cheers of his fans but with a surprising amount of boos mixed in from some sections in San Diego. Wearing a crisp white suit and his orange-tinted sunglasses, Bohemoth looks every inch the star as he walks to the ring with very little reaction to the boos or the cheers. Bo jogs up the ring steps and enters the ring, scaling the turnbuckles and raising his arms overhead... to another slightly mixed reaction. COLE Bohemoth came out on top in one of the finest matches in AngleMania history in my opinion, against Zack Malibu, this past Sunday night. And even if you did see it live, it's worth catching the replay just for another viewing. They left it ALL that ring at AngleMania VII! COACH Yeah, but what everyone's talking about is how Bohemoth left the ring, namely without shaking the hand of Zack Malibu. COLE Well Bohemoth, perhaps with an explanation for us here tonight. "BO - HE - MOTH!" "BO - HE - MOTH!" "BO - HE - MOTH!" "BO - HE - MOTH!" Bo holds his hand up and calls for some quiet, the cheers dying out a little before the boos do which seems to get his attention. He just chuckles a little under breath at them though. BOHEMOTH Man, I guess I should have expected that, huh? You know, last Sunday night, I went into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the underdog. That's not something I'm used to, being 6-7, 285 as I am. Zack Malibu has got a hell of a record at AngleMania. And I knew I'd be in for the match of my life to keep up with him and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened. Me and Zack, we tore each other apart. And in the end, I managed to put him down for the 1, 2, 3 and have my hand raised in victory in front of 90 something thousand people! "YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" ("BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!") BOHEMOTH But you see, unfortunately, that's not where it ended between me and Zack. Bo shakes his head. BOHEMOTH After the fight of my life, I looked out into those 90 something thousand and they were up cheering for me. I gotta tell you, it felt great. Then, I see a couple of fans looking behind me. And more and more, looking past me. So I get down, turn around and I see Zack Malibu back up and extending his hand to me. No wonder they weren't looking at me anymore. Bohemoth removes his orange-tinted sunglasses, placing them in the front pocket of his jacket. BOHEMOTH All week, I've heard one question from every fan, every cab driver, every baggage handler at the airport, every hotel receptionist. That one question wasn't "How did it feel to win at AngleMania, Bo?" No, it was "Why didn't you shake Zack Malibu's hand, Bo?" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" BOHEMOTH All I've heard is Zack, Zack, Zack. For one brief moment at AngleMania, I was on top. We went out, we had a great, fairly fought match and I came out on top. Now, suddenly, I'M the bad guy and all anybody wants to do is sympathise with Malibu. You wanna know why I didn't shake Zack Malibu's hand? Well, why should I? That was MY moment. AngleMania VII should have gone down as the night that the Bohemoth was finally unleashed on the OAOAST. I didn't want my AngleMania to be remembered for a HANDSHAKE! But, ya see, Zack Malibu did. Rather than have people remember the fact he got beat, he'd rather you all remember that he was the 'bigger man' to offer his hand to me. Bohemoth scowls a little, as the reaction in the crowd is hard to gauge. BOHEMOTH See, the fact is, I didn't want Zack to steal my moment. People wanna say that I disrespected him? So be it. But the way I see it, HE disrespected ME by not getting the hell out of the ring and giving me my moment. So if anyone's the 'bad gu... .:CUE: "Getting Away With Murder", Papa Roach:. "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Uh-oh! COACH Oh great! Here comes Zack, to steal another moment. Looking more than a little offended at what he's heard out of Bohemoth, Zack Malibu storms to the ring ready to tell his side of the story. Zack slides in and marches right past Bohemoth, giving him the stink-eye as he passes. Grabbing his own microphone, Zack then whips around and instantly sticks the finger in the face, drawing some "ooohs" from the fans. ZACK First of all, let's cut the crap of pinning the blame on me here, because you can ask anyone, I'm not [i]that[/i] guy! Not in the slightest! Zack paces around a little, wiping a hand across his face. ZACK See, I'm not angry. I'm DISAPPOINTED. I'm disappointed in you Bo. We've been going at it, back and forth since November now and I really thought AngleMania was going to be the end of it. We'd finally get to settle it in the ring, one on one. That's exactly what we did and I'm man enough to admit you beat me. But then you went and pissed it all away but snubbing my handshake. You can say different, but me offering my hand wasn't one of those 'mind-games' that we've been playing with each other these past few months. It was what it was. Respect. Talk about your 'AngleMania moment'. Say what you want, YOU tarnished that moment, by not showing me the respect... BOHEMOTH NO! NO NO! You listen Zack, that's the point. AngleMania shouldn't have been ABOUT [b]YOU[/b]! Cut off, Zack stares up at Bohemoth. BOHEMOTH You talk about respect, on and on. But you know deep down that I respect you and everything you've accomplished, way before we ever stepped into that ring in Los Angeles. AngleMania wasn't about 'earning' your handshake. Believe it or not, that 'tremendous honour' doesn't mean all that much to me. It was about earning the victory over you. And I did that. If you wanted to show me this respect, you could have done it in the back, tonight. Unless it wasn't really about respect and it was about you, as usu... ZACK HEY! You know what, you're right. Maybe it isn't about respect anymore. Maybe, now, it's just about you and me! Zack takes a step closer to Bohemoth and it threatens to break down for a second. ZACK Since you didn't want my respect at AngleMania... well, I guess now you've got my attention instead. So, maybe if I can't get your respect, maybe I'll have to BEAT it out of you!! "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Oh my! Bohemoth glares back at Zack for what seems like an eternity but is only really a few seconds, before he lifts his microphone back up to his mouth. BOHEMOTH You know, I don't know what makes you think you could do that, seeing as you couldn't even manage it at 'your event'... "OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" BOHEMOTH ...but, you're more than welcome to TRY, anytime! COLE Oh man, I think we've just had a challenge laid out right here! Zack and Bohemoth continue to stare each other down with the microphones now down at the sides and the words now exchanged between them and them alone. The San Diego crowd do their best to egg the two men on to settle their differences right now. But it looks like it's just the words being exchanged for now though, as we fade off to commercial. [b]*COMMERCIAL BREAK*[/b]

If anyone in the world can adapt quickly to something, it's probably Danielson. He doesn't get enough credit for being as adaptable and creative as he is. I once saw him have a match with Claudio Castagnoli where the only move they used was a headlock and it worked. He had a World Title match that ended with a shock roll-up in about 7 minutes in ROH with Colt Cabana and it worked. If anyone can make something work, it's Danielson. He won't be working 60 minute matches, surely, but I don't think that'll matter. I think the Benoit comparisons are either going to hurt or help him. It seems like the stance has, at times, changed from 'avoid Benoit's stuff' to 'take back Benoit's stuff'. Michaels used the Crossface, Finlay used his suicide dive into a weapon shot. If they think that bringing in Danielson will make people forget about Benoit, or that he can 'replace' Benoit at least, that might count in his favour. I know that's a cynical way of looking at it, but still.

If Batista turns heel, he really has to go over ultimately. As a face he's basically hit the wall after months of title shots without much success. So, if they do turn him heel, he pretty much has to win his first feud to re-establish himself. Turning him heel and having him lose to anyone in his first big grudge match is a backwards move. After Shawn, odds are he'll be back after Taker on Smackdown or after HHH or Cena on RAW. He needs a win going into either of them. Shawn's at the point in most fans minds where a loss isn't going to hurt him. Especially if it's to someone like Batista. As far as Flair goes, I've got no problem with him being involved for one backstage segment of some sort, just something to re-inforce what they're fighting for. He really doesn't need to be an integral part of the feud in person, his name alone'll carry whatever Batista and Michaels can't, which should be most of it let's be fair. The moment he comes out in front of a live crowd on TV again is going to be a big one (and inevitable). The closer they do it to the send-off, the more shine it takes off that moment.

Like IYH 3 booking, all the titles on the line? I wouldn't mind it as something different, but I think the fact it's signature Russo booking might count against it with certain people.

COLE Up next, the ladies of the OAOAST will be in action. Mackenzie DeCenzo, who we saw last week brutally put a beating to Jade Rodez, demanded a rematch in a 'seething rage' after AngleMania VII where she was paid back in kind by Jade. However, not a one on one match this week, as the Women's Champion and our broadcast colleague Maggie Nerdly will see action, as will her sister Molly! COACH First of all, I've never heard Maggie call you her 'colleague'. And I boldly predict we never will. Second, I don't blame Mackenzie one bit. She was humilated in front of thousands of people in her hometown, her friends, her family... COLE Her maids. COACH ...her butlers, everybody! It was supposed to be the finest night of her refined life and thanks to Krista and her demon offspring it turned into a wretched nightmare! Well if Jade thought the beating Mackie dished out last week was something, wait till you see what's gonna happen tonight. Once it's over, Jade's gonna be so beat up, her own mother wouldn't recognised her. Oh... wait, nevermind! HAHAHA! COLE You're a sick sick man and sadly I doubt that's the last time I'll be saying that during the course of this one. Let's send it up to the ring. Walking arm in arm down the red carpet, the women of The Enterprise are bathed in the light of flashbulbs from the numerous photographers around them. Under her left arm, Molly carries the Siclopse to the ring, muttering to herself criticisms of the clichéd photographic methods being used around her. In her khaki pants and powder blue polo shirt, Molly looks noticeably under-dressed compared to her tag team partner. Beside her Mackenzie wears a typically empowering looking business suit to the ring, but shows some consideration to the fact she's going to be competing tonight by swapping the skirt for a very formal pair of short pants, clearly tailored from an expensive suit themselves. I would say she means business, but such shameless puns are below me. The duo get past the cameras and Molly sets up The Siclopse in position outside the ring, while Mackenzie tells Michael Buffer something in no uncertain terms. BUFFER The following tag team contest is set for one fall. On the way to the ring, they represent THE ENTERPRISE! First, fighting out of the Tisch School of Arts at New York University... she is the 2005 and 2006 Canadian documentary filmmaker of the year... MMMOOOOOOLLLLYYYYYY... NNEEEEEERRRDDLLLLYYYYYYY!! And her tag team partner. From Los Angeles, California... "definately NOT San Diego"... but Los Angeles, California... she is the Chief Financial Officer of The Enterprise and a former OAOAST 24/7 Champion... (World = much lolz!) BUFFER ...she is MAAACCKKEEEENNZZIIIIEEEEEEEE... DDEEEE-CCEEEEEENNZZZZZZOOOOOOO!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Mackenzie makes the mistake of posing after her name is called, earning her a louder chorus of boos than even usual. Siclopse all set up, Molly joins her in the ring and together The Enterprise women make a big show of 'warming up' for their match as if they do so every week. COLE Molly Nerdly, the unpaid intern of The Enterprise and I guess her clothing budget speaks volumes for that fact. COACH I'll have you know that's the clothing ensemble of choice for all budding film students. Why? Because Molly wears it and she's the queen of all at Tits School Of Arts! COLE Uh... that would be 'Tisch'. COACH That's what I said. Besides, who are you to question anybody's clothing choice, Queer Eye? Already looking pretty bitter, Mackenzie's mood drops even deeper into the gutter as "Date With The Night" by the Yeah Yeah Yeah's hits. The San Diego crowd erupt with Yeah Yeah Yeahs of their own for Jade Rodez as she marches out, eyes scowling and locked on Mackenzie from the entrance way. BUFFER And the opponents. First, from Grand Rapids, Michigan... JJJAAAAAAAADDEEEEE... RRROOOOOOODDEEEEEEZZZZZ!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH Now, you wanna talk about clothing, why does Jade choose to do her laundry right before every HeldDOWN~! and realise the only clothes she's got left is that tracksuit? Answer me that. You'd think considering her mommy changes her entire wardrobe every week, she'd be able to pass on some old hand-me-downs. Or is even that too much for Neglectant Mother Of The Year Krista Isadora Duncan? Jade marches down the aisle but stops short of actually getting in the ring at a two on one dis-advantage. Green and gold lights suddenly begin to flash at the sight of the entry way, while pillars of smoke spring forth from around the chaotic illumination. "Crushcrushcrush" by Paramore begins to play as Maggie Nerdly skips out from the back and flashes the famous Nerdly RAWK~! Hand signal to the adoring crowd, before showing off the Women's Championship around her waist. As she makes her way down the ramp she slaps hands with the eager fans and slaps Jade on the back, kinda mis-judging her serious mood as she flashes her some RAWK~! BUFFER And her tag team partner. From Edmonton, Alberta Canada... she is the 'bitchin' host of the Afterparty on OAOAST.com and the reigning OAOAST Women's Champion... a member of the fighting Nerdly family, MMMAAAAAAAGGIIIIIIEEEEEEE... NNEEEEEERRRDDLLLLYYYYYYY!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Did Michael Buffer really just say "bitchin'"? COACH Sure. Crazy cracka says it all the time. Entering the ring, Maggie stands in the centre and points her bouquet of flowers to each individual turnbuckle. As her floral arrangement is directed to each corner, a tower of green pyro explodes from it's top turnbuckle, watched unimpressed by Molly and Mackenzie on the outside. Once that's complete, Maggie tosses her bouquet behind her back and into the audience, replacing it in her hands with the Women's Championship which shows throws up over her head, along with another handful of RAWK~! COLE Maggie Nerdly, Women's Champion! And of course, the current girlfriend of Leon Rodez, who just happens to be her tag team partner's broth... uh, [i]uncle[/i]. Sorry, force of habit. The OAOAST is one crazy family tree nowadays Coach. The Women's Title is passed to the timekeeper's table and we're ready to go as Jade makes it clear she's going to start for her team. No problem with that, Maggie kicks it out on the apron. Mackenzie and Molly have a little more conversation on their side before deciding on who'll start for them, Mackenzie pulling rank to get her hands on Jade. *DINGDINGDING!* As she enters the ring, Mackie's mouth starts running immediately as she proceeds to call poor Jade every name under the sun. Jade just looks on with a scowl, until finally she's taken enough and thumps Mackenzie across the jaw with an elbow smash! Another! And another! And yet another! Mackenzie reaches out and grabs Jade's hair to stop her strikes. But Jade grabs her own handfuls of hair and the two women tussle around for a bit in a mini cat-fight, before releasing each other with a shove. For a second they both rub their heads in pain, before going right back at each other. Jade telegraphs her lunge though and Mackenzie ducks underneath her out-stretched arms, kneeing Jade in the kidneys to drop her. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COACH That's smarts. I think Mackie proved last week she's pretty capable when it comes to stepping into the ring. Jade's still at the 'playground scrap' level and with someone as smart as Mackenzie it's just not going to work. Grabbing a handful of hair again, Mackie insults Jade some more before throwing her face-first down into the mat. Jade pushes back up, so Mackie throws her right back down again, ignoring the warnings about hairpulls from the referee. "MA - CKEN - ZIE SUCKS!" "MA - CKEN - ZIE SUCKS!" "MA - CKEN - ZIE SUCKS!" "MA - CKEN - ZIE SUCKS!" Angered at the chants Mackenzie screams out loud that she infact doesn't suck, which may well be true but let's not go there. With the illegitimate Duncan daughter on her knees in front of her, Mackie yanks Jade's head backwards into some hard right hands. She then drags Jade to her feet and leans her back, across an outstretched knee. With a hand across the jaw and one on the leg she then bends Jade into a backbreaker and pushes down to screams of pain. COLE Mackenzie just trying to make an example out of Jade right here. As much as she's enjoying hurting Jade like this, I'm sure part of her is wishing this was Krista as well. COACH Hey, it's the next best thing, her little secret daughter. Win-win. Maggie's reaction of "woah, harsh!" from the apron doesn't do much to help her tag team partner as she's bent in ways the body shouldn't be bent. Jade refuses to give in just yet though. "LET'S GO JADE!" "LET'S GO JADE!" "LET'S GO JADE!" "LET'S GO JADE!" Before she can draw on the support of the San Diego crowd, Jade takes a shot to her exposed midsection. And another. Mackenzie then pushes down again looking for the submission, or just to torture Jade some more, who knows. Seeing enough, Maggie finally enters the ring to try and help out. Unfortunately, Mackie quickly warns the referee and he cuts Maggie off, allowing Molly to sneak into the ring. Up to the middle rope she goes as Mackenzie turns herself back to her own corner. Molly seems a little unsure on the ropes at first, but gets her footing and drops a big elbow to the chest of Jade, dumping her off of Mackenzie's knee! COLE Jade Rodez just got demolished! Out ducks Molly, as Mackenzie makes the cover... 1... 2... NO! COLE A lot of fight in that young woman however. It's in her genes, after all. Mackenzie drags Jade to her feet, shoving her into the Enterprise corner and making the tag to Molly. Out of the ring steps Mackie legally, but not so legal is the handful of the tracksuit pants she holds onto to keep Jade stuck in the corner. Molly meanwhile backs across the ring and comes charging, crushing Jade in the corner with her Box-office Bust!! Let go, Jade slumps to the canvas again as Molly rolls up the sleeves on her polo shirt to show she means business. COLE Even in a match she's participating in, Mackenzie can't help but lend a hand from the outside. COACH She's a very pro-active woman. She ain't one of those raise the kids, wash the dishes, make the samm'iches kinda bitches, she's an indipendent woman, a fine sister doin' it for herself. You have to respect that. Pulled to her feet, Jade is whipped off the ropes by Molly who then telegraphs a back elbow. Badly. Underneath goes Jade, Molly thinking quickly and looking to cut her off with a clothesline. Again Jade is able to duck underneath though and comes back off the ropes with a desperation crossbody... COLE Could have her! 1... 2... Kickout! Realising she needs to make a tag, Jade rushes for her corner... ...and gets SPEARED down by Molly! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jade goes down holding her ribs, Molly earning warm applause from the outside from Mackenzie before being ordered to stay on her opponent. Quickly, the unpaid intern pulls Jade back to her feet and scoops her up, carrying her into the centre of the ring and dropping her with a side slam. COLE Nice execution from Molly. I have to say, I'm quite surprised with Molly thus far, we haven't had any indication that she's much of a professional wrestler up until now but she's holding her own okay. COACH What are you talking about? She's already 1-0 this year! COLE What? COACH She beat Rescue 911, remember! COLE Oh! You mean when Alix Maria Spezia did all the work and Molly just stood there dumbly wondering what it takes to become a [i]paid[/i] intern? COACH That's not how I remember it. Tag is made, bringing Mackenzie DeCenzo back into the match. Able to take her sweet time about following up Mackenzie takes a moment to mock the fans for getting behind Jade, reminding them that she's the one flat on her back crying in pain. The San Diego natives don't seem to care though and continue to show their support. Mackie pulls Jade back to her feet and hangs her over the turnbuckles facing out into her supporters. Taking a step back, Mackenzie then plows forward and drives her shoulder into Jade's lower back! COACH That's called the Tramp Stamp, Michael. Very appropriate for our women's division. Flicking her hair back, Mackie smiles an evil smile as he measures Jade up again. After a few words exchanging with Maggie, Mackenzie then charges in again... AND RUNS HERSELF SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!! "YYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH :O COLE JADE GOT OUT OF THE WAY! Molly looks on horrified as Mackenzie's arm wraps around the steel post with a thud, already working out in her head how to cut around that footage later. Falling out of the corner Mackie clutches her shoulder and now it's a race to the corner, as both Mackie and Jade look to get the tag to their Nerdly sister of choice. Molly routes Mackenzie on, Maggie still chillin' like an ill'un on the outside but ready for the tag all the same. "MA - GGIE!" "MA - GGIE!" "MA - GGIE!" "MA - GGIE!" Maggie gets behind Maggie by getting a "Maggie" chant going. COLE Could we be about to see the Nerdly sisters going at it? Still holding onto her lower back with one hand, Jade's crawl is slow and painful. Mackenzie still nurses her shoulder but is over to her corner first, getting the tag to Molly. But the film student takes a second too long getting in the ring and she JUST misses Jade before she GETS THE TAG! COLE YES! We are, as here comes Maggie! After so many catty remarks in the past Molly now tries to reason with her sister, but to no avail. Maggie drops her with a double leg takedown and bounces the back of Molly's head repeatedly off the canvas, doing a complete 360 of the ring before finally letting Molly go in order to pull her back up. Irish whip by Maggie, leaping up to catch Molly with a spinning heel kick on the way back. Maggie then takes a quick detour, dropkicking Mackenzie as she tries to get back into the ring to help her Enterprise associate out. Jumping back to her feet, the perky announcer lets out a quick rendition of "Never Gonna Give You Up", before RICK ROLL'ING Molly!! Hook of the leg... 1... 2... Kickout! The Women's Champion waits for Molly to get back up, leaping up and catching her with a hurricanrana, reaching back and cradling a leg... 1... 2... SAVE BY MACKENZIE! But as soon as Mackenzie goes after Maggie again, into shot rushes Jade Rodez to CLUB Mackenzie down with a big Clothesline!! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Back out of the ring rolls, Jade stopped from going out after her by a sudden twinge in her back. Meanwhile, Maggie stays on her sister, scooping her up and slamming her. Off the ropes, Maggie again looks for the Rick Roll. But the element of surprise has gone this time and Molly isn't falling for it again, rolling out of the way! Maggie's body bounces awkwardly off the canvas and she pulls herself up, met by Molly with a diving clothesline. Molly then leaves Maggie behind for a second and runs at Jade... who just spots her out of the corner of her eye, sidestepping and sending Molly running chest first into the turnbuckles. As she turns around, Molly's ample assets are then crushed by a double knee strike in the corner by Rodez! COLE Shades of her uncle! Down goes Jade after that with her back still in agony. Luckily, Maggie is there to take over for her, running at Molly... and stopping short of her sister as she flinches expecting to be crushed again... [i]"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"[/i] ...but instead Maggie screams RIGHT IN HER EAR!!! COACH OW! COLE Hey, remember that time we both went to that N*SYNC concert together? COACH I do now... unfortunately. COLE Yeah. Good times. How's your throat now by the way? COACH Oh much better, thanks for asking. Dis-orientated by the ringing in her ears, Molly staggers out of the corner and a boot sets her up for Happiness Is Edmonton In Your Rearview Mirror... but again Mackenzie appears and with a handful of hair she drags the Women's Champion off of her sister, spins her around and throws her ruthlessly out of the ring! Maggie splats off the ringside mats hard. COACH Being Women's Champ isn't all it's cracked up to be, huh Mags? Jade goes back on the offence, attacking Mackenzie with forearms from behind. But Molly catches her with an axehandle to the back to cut her off before her headache haunts her again. No compassion for that, Mackenzie tells Molly to help her with an irish whip. Together the Enterprise women send Jade off the ropes and duck their heads for backbody drops. Jade manages to put on the brakes, kicking Mackenzie in the chest before grabbing Molly by her khaki pants and throwing her to the outside right out with her sister. JADE OVER! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" COACH Ugh, how cliché. Where's that DNA test when you need it? Lining Mackenzie up, Jade aims at her face with the GAMENGIRI... ...NO! Mackenzie blocks it, causing Jade to land awkwardly on her side! She shouts out in pain and grabs her lower back again, perhaps having wrenched a muscle on landing. Mackenzie gives her no time to worry about that though, locking her into a front facelock. Cradling the leg, Mackenzie then lifts Jade up and hovers with her for a second... before driving her down into the canvas with the Fisherman's Buster for the second time in two weeks! COLE And that's gonna do it, again. Cover by Mackenzie... 1... 2... 3!!! *DINGDINGDING!* Just pulling herself up on the outside too late, Maggie hangs her head sadly as she realises she's too late to save her friend. Mackenzie pushes up onto her knees and points a finger into the emotionless face of Rodez, letting off a little extra steam before she SLAPS the defenceless girl across the face. Maggie dives in now and chasing Mackenzie off, big grin on her face as she swaggers away on the floor. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your winners of the match... the team of MOLLY NERDLY and MACKENZIE DECENZO... THE ENTERPRISE!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COACH Seriously, is this Jade thing some giant rib that nobody's let The Coach in on yet? You're telling me that's the daughter of Krista Isadora Duncan? Either we all bein' played, or we know the real reason Krista didn't want nothing to do with her. Jade's gotten herself beat two weeks in a row now... Krista hasn't lost a match since the Carter Administration! Let alone two in two weeks! That's poor. Real poor. Maggie kneels down to check on Jade while Mackenzie waits for Molly to limp over to her and join in the celebrations. The Enterprise women raise their arms victoriously at the foot of the ramp, Mackenzie smiling at the state she's left Jade Rodez in before looking back at Maggie and warning her that she and her Women's Championship might well be next! COLE The Enterprise males got the job done at AngleMania. And tonight, it's the Enterprise's females who prove their dominance.

[COLOR=red]*WHIIIR!* *WHIIIR!*[/COLOR] "Doctor, doctor, give me the news I've got a bad case of lovin' you No pill's gonna cure my ill I've got a bad case of lovin' you" The Doctors Of Love are in as we return to San Diego, Pigley and Anderson charging out and driving the fans wild with their labcoat striptease routine. Only in the OAOAST! Only Pigley actually strips of the coat however, as it's singles action for him tonight. BUFFER The following contest is set for one fall, with a twenty minute time-limit. Introducing first, accompanied by his colleague and tag team partner, Dr. Max Anderson. From Chicago, Illinois... he weighs two hundred, ten pounds... the host of "The Love Line", every Wednesday night at 7PM on local Chicago radio... "THE LOVE DOCTOR"... SSTTEEEEEEEEVVVEEEEEEEENN... PPIIIIIIIGGLLLLLLLEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" COLE The Love Doctors have been on a good run as of late. A victory tonight, albeit in singles action, might put them in line for a 6-Man Tag Team Title shot down the line. COACH With who? EMT Tim? Why waste their time? In slide The Docs, Anderson hyping his tag team partner up as "The Church Of Hot Addiction" fires up. With a beaming smile on his face, out heads James Blonde, flanked as ever by the crazed looking Faqu. Gone is the faux fur coat, oh noez! Blonde's new trend to be setting is a black hooded jacket, short sleeved on the left side and totally cut open down the seam on the right. Pulling his newly regained OAOAST 6-Man Tag Team Title belt from the open half of his jacket, Blonde raises it over his head as he walks to the ring, lording it over everybody in San Diego. BUFFER And his opponent is accompanied to the ring by "The Samoan Wrecking Ball", FAQU! He hails from Vancouver, British Columbia and weighs two hundred and eight pounds... one third of the NEW OAOAST World 6-Man Tag Team Champions! Representing Cucaracha Internacional... "THE TRENDSETTER"... JJJAAAAAAAAAMMMEEEEESSSSSSS... BBLLLLLOOOOOOOOONNDDEEEEEEEEE!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Blonde enters the ring and ditches his new jacket, showing off... yes, new ring attire as well. He really IS The Trendsetter! Red 3/4 length pants, with the Canadian flag on the right hip, 'BLONDE' in Japanese scripture down the left leg in white and black elastic ties at the bottom of both legs are topped off with a pair of gold wrestling shoes with red socks. COACH (hypnotically) Must... buy... gold shoes. Handing over his title belt, Blonde convinces Faqu to take up a position on the outside instead of rushing The Docs as he looks about to do. Once Faqu is in position Blonde then turns to Pigley, fluffing up his hair with an arrogant smile on his face. COLE Both of these men, veterans of the HI-YAH promotion not so long ago, heavily influenced by their time in Japan as I'm sure we'll see from their in-ring styles. *DINGDINGDING!* Feeling pretty good about things, Blonde is ready to go and locks up with Pigley with a big smile on his face. That smile soon disappears after an armdrag though. Pigley then takes him over a second time with an armdrag. And a third, after which Blonde scrambles to the ropes to force the Doc to back off. COLE A little bit of a wake-up call for James Blonde right there. Wiping the hair from his face, Blonde wonders aloud what the hell just happened before he picks himself up. The two go to lock-up again, but JB is a step ahead this time, sweeping out the legs and covering... 1... ...quick kickout by Pigley, who then sweeps the legs on Blonde... 1... ...another quick kickout, Blonde going for the sweep again but finding the well empty on this occasion. Pigley hurdles it, blocks a back elbow and pulls Blonde over into the La Majistral cradle... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE Man, Blonde has not gotten out of first gear. Blonde quickly scurries back to the ropes to break up the moment of the good Doctor, who takes the opportunity to fire up the crowd in San Diego. Looking mightly frustrated, The Trendsetter takes his time and paces around trying to get his head back into the game. Steven is happy to wait, until Blonde slaps his hand and offers up a test of strength. Locking hands, Pigley cautiously goes for the second hand... before pulling out and cracking Blonde in the chest with an open hand! Running up the ropes, Pigley goes up over Blonde's head, keeping hold of the arm and pulling him over by the wrist. Sliding to his feet, Blonde quickly sidesteps Pigley. But the Doctor improvises, coming off the second rope and snaring the arm for another armdrag variation. COLE Blonde's been turned inside out so many times, it may take a Doctor to untie him by the time this match is over! Dis-orientated, Blonde falls against the ropes and Pigley is right after him. Irish whip sends Blonde off, leapfrogged by Pigley on the rebound. Dr. Pigley then makes the mistake of ducking his head though, allowing Blonde to drop an elbow to the back of the head. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE Telegraphed that one though. COACH That's the problem with the Love Doctors... well, one of many. They're quick, they're exciting, but they get caught up in the moment and they make dumbass mistakes like that. That's why health insurance is so pricey. Blonde tries to hide his shakiness with a cocky smile as he picks Pigley back up. He drops him back down with a quick back suplex, then makes the cover... 1... 2... No! Sitting Pigley up, Blonde delivers a dropkick to the back of the head before trying his luck again... 1... 2... No! COACH You know, I've always been a big fan of my boy JB... COLE Really? COACH Of course! But I gotta say, since Landon Maddix took Internationally Known under his wing, he's improved so much it's untrue. I mean, he's got the looks, the style, the ability, everything it takes to be the next Landon Maddix. COLE Oh brother! Dragging Pigley behind him, into the corner goes Blonde. He throws the Doctor face-first into the turnbuckle, before turning him around and spitting on his hand, setting up a short knifedge chop. Blonde then jogs across to the opposite corner. Giving the thumbs up to Faqu, Blonde charges at Pigley... but Pigley tumbles out of the way! Blonde hits the turnbuckles chest first and staggers backwards, into the Crucifix Bomb!! 1... 2... NO! COLE Oh, only two! Tremendous snap on that manoeuvre. Back to his feet, a groggy swing and a miss from Blonde leaves him open for an atomic drop. Off the ropes, Pigley follows up with a front dropkick and JB is rolled head over heels, right out of the ring. Seeing the opportunity to fly, Dr. Pigley rallies the crowd behind while the referee makes sure Faqu stays out of the action. Pigley then hits the ropes, full head of steam as he ducks through... ...INTO A KNEE TO THE HEAD!! "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH So much for the flying doctor gags! COLE Great presence of mind from James Blonde to pull himself back up and block that suicide dive. With Pigley down, Blonde heads up to the top rope and loads up the fist, coming off with the Marty Jannetty Fistdrop right to the forehead! Cover... 1... 2... NO! Picking Pigley back up, Blonde signals for the end as he sets up a suplex. Up and over floats Dr. Pigley however, landing behind and driving JB into the turnbuckles looking for an O'Connor roll. Blonde tries to block it by grabbing onto the ropes, but ends up grabbing the top turnbuckle pad and pulling it clean off as he's taken down... 1... 2... No! Avoiding a collision with the exposed turnbuckle, Pigley climbs to the middle rope and dives, pulling the ducking Blonde down with a sunset flip... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE Blonde really having some trouble shaking off the AngleMania hangover so far tonight. COACH Well what do you expect? He's in there with a guy who's sole AngleMania contribution was that publicity drive over in West Hollywood that you arranged with Los Diablos, so he's fresh, that's an unfair advantage if you ask me! Luckily for Blonde he manages to cut Pigley off with a quick forearm to the stomach and give himself chance to catch his breath. Blonde nails Pigley in the side of the head with a forearm. And another, before looking for an irish whip. Reversal by Pigley, who again ducks his head too early and almost gets caught with the Guilt Trip, just managing to stand up and counter in time. Blonde flips backwards and lands on his feet, but misses with a clothesline and takes another dropkick that knocks him into the corner. COLE Dropkick and... wait a minute. What is this idiot doing out here again!? "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" "This idiot" would be none other than BIFF ATLAS, who has hit the ring. Pigley stomps away on Blonde, unaware of Biff's entrance behind him, as is the referee. Sliding into the ring, Biff totally ignores the action going on though, instead pulling a roll of bright yellow "CAUTION" tape from under his shirt and wrapping it around the ropes in the corner with the exposed turnbuckle! COACH Oh, thank goodness. Pigley was gonna whip Blonde into that turnbuckle and you know it, but luckily Biff Atlas had his eye on this match and saw the potential hazard this moron referee didn't. COLE What the hell business is this of Biff Atlas's!? What is he, the safety inspector now!? COACH He's doing a better job than the safety inspector we've got at the moment. COLE I'm not sure we even have one right now. COACH Exactly! Biff continues to cordone off the one corner of the ring, which isn't appreciated by Dr. Max Anderson. Anderson climbs onto the apron to question what the hell Biff's doing. But Biff doesn't listen to a word he's saying, too busy warning Anderson that the apron is only about 10 inches in length and not a safe position to view the match from. Referee Mike Chioda eventually spots all this and tries to get Biff out of the ring, to his lengthy complaints. COLE I swear, Biff Atlas isn't all there in the head. COACH Hey, lay off him, the guy had a traumatic incident a couple of weeks back and he's trying to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. As Chioda tries to get rid of Atlas and/or Anderson meanwhile, Pigley ducks a shot from Blonde and has him set up for the TIME OF DEATH... ...but gets struck in the back by FAQU!! Pigley drops Blonde and gets spun around by The Samoan, who double underhooks the arms AND DROPS PIGLEY ON HIS HEAD WITH DEATH BY SAMOAN!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE Wait a minute! The referee didn't see it, this is ridiculous! COACH Go tell Faqu that. Please, I ain't kidding, I wanna see you get smushed. No offence. With Pigley out, Blonde ushers Faqu out of the ring before the referee can suspect anything untoward. Biff is finally satisfied with the safety of the ring and is gotten out by Chioda, where he continues his arguement on the floor with Anderson. Meanwhile, Blonde drags Pigley into the centre of the ring. Off the ropes, he vaults to the middle rope, coming back with the Lionsault!! Hook of the leg, ref none the wiser, Anderson neither... COACH What a move! I can't see Pigley getting up after that. 1... 2... 3!!! COLE Dr. Max, with no idea what just transpired. *DINGDINGDING!* BUFFER Your winner of the match... "THE TRENDSETTER"... JAMES BBLLLLOOOOOONNDDEEEEE!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Sliding into the ring, Anderson looks confused since the last he saw his tag team partner was on the offensive. Blonde heads out the other way and pats Faqu on the back for a job well done, taking back his 6-Man Tag Title and pointing Faqu towards the back as he stares into the ring at The Love Doctors. COLE Opportunistic, that's about the best I can say about James Blonde after that. Passed in the aisle by Blonde and Faqu, Biff backs slowly up the ramp, looking quite worried that Dr. Pigley might have hurt his neck. What should be worrying him is the look from Dr. Max Anderson now he knows what happened.

She showed up and attacked Torrie Wilson after Victoria had beaten her.

James Blonde vs. Dr. Steven Pigley

I'm not saying it couldn't. But people seem to be talking in terms that beating The Undertaker at WrestleMania is going to make anyone a star overnight, in and of itself. Ending Undertaker's streak is probably the best starting point possible that the company has. But it's what happens after that counts. You can't just 'make' someone in the course of one match by booking them to 'be made' by someone. Forcing it like that never works. Just as likely to backfire. If anyone's ever made themselves a star in the course of one match, it's via performance (ie. Austin at WM 13). You can argue maybe Sting over Flair, but that wasn't just 'put Wrestler X against Ric Flair and have him pass the torch', it wasn't built backwards from the win like Undertaker's streak it was built from the ground up. Just beating The Undertaker... all it is is one accomplishment unless the follow up angle works or unless it's a fantastic match with a great performance from the right guy at the right time. Not to mention, the fact that building someone around one win or one accomplishment is doomed booking, because inevitably people are going to get sick of hearing about it. Not just Jericho as Undisputed Champion, but stuff like Billy Gunn as King Of The Ring, Luger slamming Yokozuna, Booker T 5-Time WCW Champion, and so on. If it's the right guy, a great performance and the follow-up is good then sure it'll put somebody over. But just expecting that one win alone to set somebody up for life is idealistic at best. That's all I'm arguing.

We are in San Diego and I will have a big announcement n' stuff. Maggie Nerdly and Jade Rodez vs. Mackenzie DeCenzo and Molly Nerdly

And it rocked, IIRC.

What have we done that you like? Dumb answer, but I like that stuff is being done in general. Instead of talk of what could be done to improve the boards and "Oh, that'd be good, but...", shit is actually happening around here again. And if something doesn't work then it can be addressed later. Just the fact that there's activity from the mods seems to have served to make things more active everywhere else.

Shawn's got the new leglock for one.

Apologies to keep discussing non-WWE stuff, but I agree, he's a much bigger asset to the company as a heel. The problem I personally have with the lariats isn't that it doesn't make sense, it's just that it cheapens what is a move which people *buy*. People buy the Jawbreaker Lariat as a finisher, because it's been built properly... and the fact it broke a couple of people's jaws helped too. The problem is, that's his big finish and yet he's using at least 5 variations of it during the match. The only difference between his finisher and a move he uses here there and everywhere is that he leans through the ropes before his finish. I know he's got the arm submission now and I think things are better for it now. But with the Lariats, it's a simple case of over-saturation, for me. Seems like Nigel found something that was successful, and decided that since it was successful he'd do it more, rather than go the other way and use it less to make it special. I feel the same way about JBL's clotheslines. I don't think it makes their matches *worse* per-se. I just think it cheapens their finishes. Kobashi uses HUNDREDS of chops a match, but he doesn't finish people with one. KENTA uses HUNDREDS of kicks a match, but he doesn't finish people with one. Maybe that is a bit of a 'smark' view looking at it. Like I say, I don't neccessarily dislike watching Nigel's matches because of it. Uh, desperate attempt to turn discussion... Dames, what was the reaction like live for Cryme Tyme. I'm a big fan of them personally. Was it a case of 'oh hey, welcome back' reaction or were they generally just over with people, do you think?

Am I the only one who fails to see how beating a long-retired wrestler with well documented injuries and no chance of doing anything more than a one-shot can give anyone the dreaded "rub"? This is a really odd trend around here. Beating Flair is 'instant rub'. Taker's WrestleMania streak is 'instant rub'. Beating Austin is 'instant rub'. I just don't see it. One match alone isn't going to turn anybody into a star overnight. Sure, it might help them along the way. But it's just as likely to turn into something new to boast about in every damn promo until people get bored of it and it begins to mean nothing what-so-ever, like Chris "First Undisputed Champion" Jericho.

Chavo Guerrero 'retired' after losing an IC Title match on Raw in 2005(6?) Marc Mero in '98... was that a retirement angle or just a leaving the WWF angle? All I remember is, he retired/left on an edition of Raw but still wrestled on the Capital Carnage PPV about a week or so later.

Short answer, soon after he won the title. Long answer, not 100% sure. Obviously the fans turned on him, mainly because he's been injured a lot (unfair) and he does too many lariats (pretty fair). He's been heeling it up more and more recently, which has of course made the fans like him again (*sigh*). I'm not sure if he turned at or before the 6th Anniversary show, but he was definately full-blown heel then against Danielson. He also did an interview on the website/videosite too where he pretty much ran through the fans complaints.

Even better now the 6-Man Tag and the Landon/Cortez match are IN!

So, yes, no, maybe? Let us know. Simple. [Edited to add since Landon didn't think to tell people when the shows are that they should be preparing for] 1st April show will be going Tuesday 15th 2nd April show will be going Tuesday 29th. I thank you. -Toxx

OAOAST 6-Man Tag Team Championships Love Generation vs. Internationally Known

Ratings and prestige and who's holding the title really aren't important. The TNA World Title is a world title because TNA call it a world title. The ROH World Title is a world title because ROH call it a world title. If WWE wanted to call the ECW Title the ECW World Title, no problem. But they don't. Sure it's the top championship on one TV show (it's arguable if ECW is even it's own 'brand' anymore, what with the talent exchange angle), but that doesn't make it a world title.

There's now at least four people in the fed who know what CHIKARA is. I feel so happy. *raises hand* five. who do you think introduced her to the wonder thant is CHIKARA? *points to self* that's right. Well, you were one of the four, going by the avatar. That's old school too.
