How was the crowd for Edge coming out? They seemed to like Edge and Jericho.

............Lol.

Yeah, last week on SmackDown!

You're not kidding me, when Teddy Long came out, I knew Edge was coming, but couldn't guess his tag partner. I thought, for some reason, they might pull the trigger on Edge and Christian back together for a night, even it if meant double duty for Christian. But fuck, Jericho? I marked out so much. I've got more to add, but i've gotta sort out TSM Fantasy first so will be a while. In all: Great show.

I think The Miz wins, Cena winning will simply undo several weeks of great work from Miz. Miz via a chairshot and quick roll up.

NoDQ.com > WWE Posted by Chris Kaufman on 06/21/2009 at 07:11 PM Former WWF star turned politician B. Brian Blair, age 52, was arrested today on several counts of child abuse following a 4 AM incident with two sons, 17 and 12. According to an article in the St. Petersburg Times, Blair got into an argument with his oldest son, shoving and punching him before locking him what was described as a "choke" that left his son with trouble breathing. The 12 year old then ended up being choked by Blair as well. There is no word at this time what led up to the incident. Blair is known in wrestling for being one half of The Killer Bees tag-team during the 1980's.

Show opens with Justin Roberts announcing the chairman, Mr. McMahon. Comes down, starts off kind of like a babyface, then starts complaining about the stench. Talks about cheeseheads, cutting the cheese. Then he figures out what it is: the stench of fear. Runs down the fans, says most would get fired if they were graded solely on performance. Brought out General Manager Teddy Long, asked him what was planned for the show. Teddy said there was a tag match, Jeff/Rey against Edge/Jericho. McMahon said that wasn't good enough, Teddy said it's a cage match, and the ref will be CM Punk. McMahon decided to put Teddy on probation. Opening match saw R Truth beat Shelton Benjamin in 8:52. Pre-match, Shelton cut a promo talking down to Truth for not getting a proper education, making fun of the lyrics in Truth's song ("You can be..."). Looked like they headed to commercial around the 2 minute mark. At one point, Truth seemed to botch a jawbreaker on Shelton, and they re-did it better. Furthermore, Shelton did the old German-Suplex-into-a-near fall combo, but he didn't bridge it. As a result, both of 'em had their shoulders down. *shrug* Backstage, they did a segment with Vince, Teddy and Rey Mysterio. Vince talked about the mask and Rey's match with Jericho, Rey responded in Spanish. Vince was mad, asked Teddy what Rey said, and said Smackdown would be English-only. Later tonight: Punk vs. Morrison Next match was Divas tag action, Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool defeat Gail Kim and Melina in maybe 6 or 7 minutes (forgot to time this one) Melina got kicked in the mouth early, and sold it for a little while. Gail finally got the hot tag after at least 5 minutes, and had a pretty good counter while on the apron; Fox (I think) went for a shoulder to the gut from inside the ring, Gail jumped it and came down on her back. Gail hit a cross body block off the top after that, but then McCool got a blind tag and hit the Styles Clash (or whatever it is she calls it) for the pin and the win. To the back, with Punk, Teddy and Vince. They talk Money in the Bank and Straight Edge. Vince talks down to Teddy some more. Dolph Ziggler/Great Khali at The Bash, No DQ. For the top of the hour main event, John Morrison beat world champion CM Punk in 14:36. Morrison made his entrance, then I think they'll take a break, as he posed for a while, and even pointed out a "Shaman of Veggies" sign in my section. First 3 minutes were quite slow, but it picked up after that. Punk hit a German into a bridge pin on Morrison for 2 (unlike Shelton, Punk actually DID bridge), and John seemed to be shaken up from landing high on the German. Punk tried a sunset flip powerbomb to the outside, Morrison countered by dropping a knee across Punk's neck. Back in the ring, Punk countered an attempted running knee from John into a single-leg Boston Crab. After escaping from that, Morrison hit his springboard kick for a VERY long 2 count, then went up top for what seemed to be a moonsault. Punk cut him off first, and hit a second-rope reverse suplex for a 2 count. Morrison rolled Punk up for 2, Punk countered for a 2 count of his own, then Morrison countered back into another pinning combination for the 3 count and victory. Crowd was surprised by the suddenness of the finish. Post-match, Punk offered Morrison a handshake, then got him up and hit the GTS. Josh Matthews interviewed Jericho in back, who said he knows what's best for Rey. Pretty typical Jericho promo, and not half-bad in my view. Then, time for the typical "stand in the ring and go over the PPV card" segment. Whee. They played the cage lowering music, then went to the back where Teddy and Vince were with Jeff Hardy. Vince said he didn't want Jeff to win because of his past... doesn't want Jeff to be representing the show. Now time for the main event, Jeff and Rey against Jericho and Edge in a tag-team cage match, with special guest ref CM Punk. Punk came out first in his ref shirt, and was booed. Both Jeff and Rey got big pops for coming out. Jeff, after coming out first, climbed up on top of the cage and hung out up there while Rey made his entrance. The two did some posing on top together, then climbed down while Jericho was coming down. Bunch of loud pyro for this match. Jeff and Rey hit Poetry in Motion early, eventually Rey went for an escape. He was stopped, so hit a cross body block from the top rope. At one point, Jericho was sitting on the top turnbuckle, and Jeff and Rey knocked Edge's head right into his crotch. By my count, there were 3 crotch shots this match; one low dropkick by Rey, the head-to-crotch one, and one more that I didn't see very well, but I certainly saw Edge's face afterward. Right after that, Rey hit a hurancanrana from the top. Jericho regained control, tried to rip of Rey's mask while on the top rope. Rey pushed him off, then jumped at him. Y2J countered with a dropkick. Rey finally got the hot tag to Jeff at the 12:30 mark in the match. Edge went for a spear on Jeff, but he moved and Edge speared CM Punk instead. A couple near-falls later, the finish came about. Jeff went for a Twist of Fate, Edge pushed him away, towards Punk. The two glared at each other, and Jeff turned around into a spear from Edge. 1-2-3, it's over. Post-match (and post-show, I believe), Punk got on the mic and told us to give it up for Jeff, before saying that he's still better. He got in the ring, then Jeff hit a Twist of Fate and Swanton to send the crowd home happy. After Jeff left and the cage was raised, Punk was left in the ring alone. For some reason, there ended up being a replica world title belt put in the ring, and Punk kicked it onto the floor, looking angry. Kind of weird.

It's not the end, Jericholic. I believe they're meeting again at the newly named PPV 'Hell In A Cell' in a match of the same name.

Joe has got new HEEL MUSICS!

From UltimateWarrior.com: Jacko. Finally, he beat it. By admin I imagine all the crying about the death of this recent drug-soused entertainment freak has most to do with the unfortunate inconvenience that the other drug-soused entertainment freaks now face. They will have to look for another local, safe and reputable babysitter. No longer will they be able to drop their kids off down the street at Jacko’s to be watched for the afternoon and spend some play time with his own kids. I hate the paparazzi, and think they should all be shot for the obsessive invasion of privacy. But I’m really going miss ALL those TMZ and Entertainment Tonight video clips of Jacko’s and other celebrity kids playing together. You ever see any of those? Weren’t they great? Didn’t they make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside? Worked for me. Every time I caught one it made me believe maybe he wasn’t a pedophile. After all, famous and rich entertainers, with all kinds of money to go to any expense to have things accurately checked out for themselves, wouldn’t let their own little babies near a pedophile…would they?! Well, you gotta give him credit for one thing. He spent all his money (and then some) before he died. And that’s not an easy thing to calculate. Go ahead, ask your financial planner if he has a plan to pull it off. For all the horrific mismanagement of millions and millions and millions of dollars, here at the end, Jacko did a pretty damn good job at balancing the books in his favor. Sorry, at my new age and with the way the Obama economic plan is going, I couldn’t help but recognize this stunner. Your Founding Father of Intense Sarcasm… Always Believe, Warrior

Again, we don't get this show until tomorrow, but apparently Taylor Wilde's wrestling attire gave away the finish before the match even began.

Damn it, I was going to make a buggie joke.

Solid main event for Superstars, Kofi's looking better every week.

I know Swagger is a big guy, but this match really exposes how small Sydal really is.

SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED. We're running this as serpentine draft rules.. so the order goes 1, 2, ...13, and then 13, 11, 10.. so the last person to pick in the first round is also the first person to pick in the next round. 1. You can draft 11 (eleven) first team players and 5 (five) substitutes too, so there will be 16 (sixteen) player draft rounds. Any formation you like.. but when selecting a player, please say where he plays in your team, I.E 'right back', 'left wing', 'left midfield' etc. 2. There is no formation limits, as long as you have one keeper and ten outfield players you can put them wherever you want. 3. There will be a final round draft to draft yourself an assistant manager, who can be anybody, manager, coach, anybody at all. 4. You can draft any player, living or dead, in the prime of their career, but you can only draft one player once, you can't sign Man United's David Beckham and someone else draft Real Madrid's same player. Don't worry if you don't have extensive football knowledge.. this is just for fun. =] Random order of selections : 1. Sivy 2. King Cucaracha 3. TheFranchise 4. Deancoles 5. Huss 6.

I don't know, Orton's been hot since Rated RKO were about. Then again, they had awesome music.

Anybody else think that the current Kurt Angle looks like Randy Couture a hell of a lot?

Dolph's warm-up match for The Great Khali is Jimmy Wang Yang!

Yeah he's dead.

Jesus, Dolph vs Wang Yang?

I've never been to a WWE live event i'm sad to say. I bet it's a great spectacle.

TMZ - A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. Well, BBC says he was rushed to hospital alive. I guess we'll have to see.

Ah that's a shame, I always remember the Harts/Nasty's for some reason, as the first tag-team match I ever saw. Probably because as a seven year old I found the pink-team and the Nasty Boys are quite a contrast. That match might be the reason I became such a huge Hart mark. I remember liking the blindfold match too as i'd never seen one before at that point. I can't say that The Bash is going to be anywhere near as good as Mania 7 though, although I must admit, I am interested in all three brands Championship matches, as an Orton mark I hope he retains, as a general WWECW fan I hope the Scramble is half decent and as you can see, Punk's my current favourite. I bet he & Hardy can be great if given the time, especially if Punk is a clear heel by then. I even want to see Cena/Miz, if Miz looks half-decent in defeat then it'll be a job well done for him. The Miz vs Kofi Kingston feud, please.

Spain underestimated them, big time. Brazil won't though, not after watching the Spain game. Good luck to 'em, though!
