King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Brought to you by American Express Taped: January 17th, 2007 First air date: January 19th, 2007 (check local listings for airings in your area) Announce team: Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura Lead corespondent: Tony Brannigan The opening credits ran, leading into a voiceovered recap of last week's interaction between The Christ Air Express and The Beverly Hills Blonds. In the midst of this, Tony announced that Ned suffered a knee injury at an OAOAST live event during the week, meaning he would be replaced in his scheduled match tonight. Lethal Rumble Qualifying Match ***MARV -VS- Simon Singleton w/Ned Blanchard and Molly Nerdly*** Ned was man enough to make it to ringside to support his tag team partner for his match however. And his knee injury didn't prevent him from getting involved ever chance the referee's back was turned. His intervention prevented MARV going up top early and swung the match as Simon hung MARV up across the top rope. However, Ned lent his 'support' one time too often and upon being caught was EJECTED by the referee, to the delight of the fans. In the end, Simon didn't look too effected by this, until he stalled on the Clapboard Legdrop too long and allowed MARV to roll out of the way. MARV's comeback was cut off by Melody Nerdly's trip of the foot from the outside. But MARV reversed an O'Conner roll (w/handful of tights) and pinned a shocked Simon (also w/handful of tights) to head on to AnglePalooza! Winner: MARV, via pinfall. Back from commercial and up at the interview stage, Tony Brannigan conducting an interview with former OAOAST International Champion Reject. The first question, asking whether Reject was disappointed not to be involved the Title Unification match at AnglePalooza, didn't go down too well. Reject repeated his claim from a few weeks ago that the so-called 'superstars' of the OAOAST were afraid to risk their reputation against him, but that in the Lethal Rumble they'd have no choice but to face him. 30 men. One ring. A shot at wrestling immortality on the biggest stage of them all. ANGLEPALOOZA 2007 January 27th, Atlanta, GA LIVE on Pay-Per-View! (Not in HD. Nobody cares. Stop mentioning it.) ***The Sooner Bruisers -VS- Josh Casey and Robert Silk*** Just a brutal exhibition by Oklahoma's finest. The Sooners toyed with the local enhancement with a variety of hard strikes and suplexes, only allowing them to tag via the age old 'suplex them into their corner when we're tired of them' method. In the end The Sooners finished off the dominating display with the Electric Chair/Bulldog on Casey, a Soonerline for Silk for daring to venture into the ring again and a 3 count. Uber barked his approval at the end, while Frank sent a clear message down the barrel of the camera that they're coming for the Anderson Cup! Winners: The Sooner Bruisers, via pinfall. On that note, Jesse "The Body" and Tony Schiavone ran down the Anderson Cup standings and the two final first round matches to come... NEXT WEEK ON HELDDOWN~! The Anderson Cup First Round Winds Down... Los Infernales Conference: Jumbo & Deuce Deuce Bigelow vs. Team Heyross Miracle Weirdness Connection Conference: Mardi Gras Homewrecking Crew vs. Love Doctors The AnglePalooza RecaPalooza took us back to 2005, when Zack Malibu almost beat the odds against the Axel/Crystal couple. Despite causing Axel to inadvertantly eliminate his then love interest, Zack couldn't oust The Dark One and was eventually uppercutted to elimination, to the delight of the crowd. Lethal Rumble Qualifying Match ***MEL -VS- Biff Atlas*** Biff's pre-match diatribe was rudely interrupted by MEL, proving that nobody really cares about global warming, unless it makes them look good. Biff used his power game to ground MEL in the early going but typical bumbling led him to miss the Earthsault. From there MEL picked up the pace and ran Atlas ragged, eventually setting him up for the Shooting Star Press. However, MEL's attention was taken by his sister Molly's appearance at ringside to film the closing stages of the match. The distraction allowed Biff to crotch MEL, dragging him off the turnbuckles and hitting the Inconvenient Truth (DVD into Michinoku Driver) for the shock victory! Winner: Biff Atlas, via pinfall. With Biff confirmed in the Lethal Rumble, we were taken to pre-recorded comments from another man in the Rumble, Alfdogg. He made sure to remind everybody of his victory two years ago in the 2006 Lethal Rumble and where his career went from there. Alf then remarked that few things could give him greater pleasure than his AngleMania V World Championship victory... except maybe an AngleMania VII World Championship victory, against his 'old friend' Stephen Joseph Popick. Love Generation were caught up with backstage putting the finishing touches to themselves before their big title defence. Irony being, it's the sole female of the group Jade Rodez who's sick of waiting for the men to pull themselves away from the mirror! It's funny because she's a girl, see! ~OAOAST World 6-Man Tag Team Championships~ ***Love Generation © w/Jade Rodez -VS- The Burrough Boys (Quincy, Luther and Mariano) w/Waldo*** Fast paced action from all six men in this one... well, nearly all six. D*LUX went at it at full pace with The Burrough Boys, who despite Waldo's best pleadings weren't allowed to go 4 v. 3 for the night. However, as soon as Leon tagged in he made a point of slowing the match down and generally frustrating The Burrough Boys, all while displaying the worst "New Yawk" accent known to man. The BBs managed to isolate Tyler though and a sneaky four on one beatdown left him easy prey for their quick interchanges. Tyler rallied late on and crushed Luther with the Recordbreaker, before making the HOT~ tag to Leon. He cut through the two remaining Boys before all heck broke loose, leading to an old-fashioned pier-six brawl. In the chaos, it looked as if the challengers might steal the match as Luther's Somersault Legdrop broke Shayne's pin and allowed him to place Quincy on top. But the ref was still distracted, allowing Leon to hit the 450 Splash and re-place Shayne back on top of Quincy, before alerting the referee to the pin. Winners and still 6-Man Tag Team Champions: Love Generation, via pinfall As The Burrough Boys tried to figure out what happened, Leon and D*LUX celebrated their victory with Jade as the show went off the air.
