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!"

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!
