Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Brought to you by American Express Taped: 7/31/08 First air date: August 2nd 2008 (check local listings for airings in your area) Announce team: Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura Lead correspondent: Tony Brannigan The show opened with the House Of Worship, featuring no less a guest than the In Crowd's Bohemoth! The Meterosexual Monster was present to discuss his upcoming MITB quarterfinal contest against The Deadly Alliance's Alfdogg. Bohemoth said that for years he's been denied what he's desired most, the OAOAST World Title, and that regardless of Alf's accomplishments and what stable he leads, he's going to the win the tournament and claim gold. That should've been it for the HOW, except Abdullah wanted to nag Bo about the In Crowd. Without giving Bo a chance to respond, AAN accused the In Crowd of riding the coattails of the stable renaissance The Enterprise, “a true collection of classical human beings, created, and said the IC was best left in the dust ridden hallways of the OAOAST archives to decay in an anonymous peace. Then Abdullah went on to say that the only true In Crowd were the good people sitting on the shoulder of Allah. That may not have sat well with the big man, but he certainly didn't show any anger as he stood up and calmly said he and Abdullah would have a chance to settle their issues in their match tonight! Faqu W/James Blonde Vs Augustine Chambers. This was basically a showcase match for The Samoan Wrecking Machine as the youngster from OAOVW never stood a chance. His every strike was met with an annoyed snarl from the islander that was followed up with a vicious assault. Chambers seemed incapable of inflicting a single bit of damage on the monster and was mercifully finished off by the Death By Samoan, ending the match in a mere fifty three seconds. Winner: Faqu, via pinfall James Riggs, Felix Strutter and Reggie Lamont Vs Deuce Deuce, Jumbo, and Denzel Spencer The face team was out for revenge and blood, and Riggs wanted no part of that! Thus he hung on the apron during the early portion of the match to offer words of encouragement. Encouragement was definitely needed, as Strutter and Lamont were overpowered by the sheer size of the tons of fun twins. Even going 2 on 1 against Jumbo did not fare terribly well for the two. Thus Riggs agreed to come in, and cut Jumbo down to size with a chop block. That gave Riggs the chance to target the much larger man's legs. Riggs was able to remain in control for several minutes of leg work. But his offense was broken up by a blind tag from Spencer. The Jamaican's speed and martial arts based assault were a nuisance to Riggs, but he battled them with his own technical moves as he tried to hold down Spencer with various creative pin attempts. After a twisting northern lights suplex failed to get a three, Riggs tagged in Strutter. He and Lamont were able to isolate their archrival from his corner for quite a while. Spencer was victimized by several suplexes and DDT's and seemed to be on the verge of being defeated. But an ill advised flap jack from Lamont let Spencer apply the tag to an outstretched Jumbo AND Deuce. Strutter charged into the ring but as flattened by dual lariats from the chubbos. Painfully, he got back up but was lifted high into the air by a double back body drop. Riggs saw this and immediately high tailed it to the back, aware that he backed the wrong horse. This left Lamont to do work for his team. And what poor work it was! The three men pounced on him with punches and clubbing forearms and punished him with a triple powerbomb before Jumbo ground his body to bits with a bear hug for a submission. Winners: Deuce, Jumbo, and Denzel Spencer via submission This week on HeldDOWN~! Quarter Final Money In The Bank Qualifying Matches: Landon Maddix Vs Colombian Heat Alfdogg Vs Bohemoth World Title: PRL Vs Brickston PLUS MORE!!! Backstage we saw Josie Baker in a very rare moment of solitude that was immediately broken up by Spanish Fly. Unlike Leon he didn't come to catch up on old times, and unlike Alix he didn't come to solicit her for sex. Instead the little guy was there to demand that he be a more prominent feature on HeldDOWN. Josie had to laugh at this request, saying that she tried to give him a chance in the Money In The Bank tournament in which he lost, and he “hadn't won a match since Calvin Szechstein was general manager” and didn't deserve a prominent spot. Fly was aghast at her flippant comment and stated he'd prove himself by beating the next person who walked in the door. Josie shrugged her assent, and leaned into her speaker phone to say “Sophie, send Baron Windells into my office.” Fly's heart sunk to his stomach, and then finally to the floor, when the Lonestar Gunslinger walked into the room. “You wanted to see me?” he asked, to which Josie said “No, but your opponent tonight wanted to.” After Baron left smirking to himself, his old nemesis Abdullah Abir Nerdly ran into the room. Mixing Arabic with English he went on an incredible, animated tirade. Fortunately he spoke enough English for Josie to understand he didn't want to wrestle Bohemoth to night. Already annoyed that Bo even created the match, Josie canceled it on the spot, angirly saying that Bo doesn't make the matches, she does. And that was that apparently, as Abdullah offered her the "many blessings of Allah". 9-Mill Vs Liberty Extra security was on hand to prevent a repeat of last week's melee. Unfortunately the chief problem was that security was even more afraid of the PD then the AAB's were. And security would need to be on their sharpest watch, as before the match began Black and Freedom got into a heated argument. Referee Billy Silverman realized that the security guards were of absolutely zero use to anyone and ordered the two back to the lockeroom. 9 Mill and Liberty were enough of a handfull on their own, with two grapplers brawling all across the ring. Most of the problems for the referee came from 9-Mill, as Silverman had a devil of a time warning against the LA native's liberal use of closed fists. Liberty for his part kept it clean, but still hit 9 Mill with amazing force until the G hit him with a G-Dup chokeslam. From there 9 Mill proceeded to work over his foe's neck, before trying to earn a submission with a neck crank. If such a move exists. I think I may have made it up! Anyway, after getting support from a crowd that sung “U-S-A! U-S-A!” the cleancut good guy powered out of the hold. The two went back to trading furious strikes with neither man earning the upper hand. That was until 9-Mill hit jack pot with a knee to the gut that allowed him to score big with a Crack Dat Neck (shinning wizard to the back of the neck)! Winner: 9-Mill via pinfall Post match, The PD celebrated as they backed up the entrance ramp. Their celebration was, however, cut short by Freedom attacking them both with a flag pole. Thankfully security rushed onto the scene before another crazy brawl could ensue. On the interview stage Tony Brannigan caught up with Tim Cash and a whole lot of stink bugs. Cash said he understood that The Burroughs Boys wanted to start making a name for themselves. But all they succeeded in doing last was piss him off and push his buttons. Now, he's going to push back until there's nothing let of the BB's. He finished off with a special promise for one of the Boys, promising that when he gets to Quincy, he'll make him eat every one of the stink bugs. AngleSlam Dicks, Rich Pricks & Beautiful Chicks Live from The Alamodome August 31st San Antonio, Texas ***The Lonestar Gunslinger Baron Windells Vs Spanish Fly*** Fly did the smart thing at the start of the match, and tried to run away from the hunky cowboy. The former Lightening Crew member trotted laps around the outside of the ring, leading Windells on a wild chase. Then Baron decided to stop dead in his tracks, and hide from Fly. Of course Fly didn't notice Baron was no longer chasing him, until he walked right into a lariat! Baron then chucked the dazed high flyer into the ring and proceeded to beat on him with power moves that thrilled the crowd. Fly avoided a Bite My Shiny Metal Ass BUTT bump, and took advantage of Windell's tushy pain for a moment of high flying attacks. But his time on the offense was short lived as Baron reversed a crossbody block into a Devil's Addiction (fall away slam). Wounded by the signature attack, Fly tried to scramble out the ring but Baron kept him inside to punish him with a Myspace Comeback (boomerang lariat), followed by a Brigham Young Cocktail (leaping ddt) for a pin. Winner: Baron Windells via pinfall As the show closed, Baron wasn't celebrating. Rather he was pointing a menacing finger at Mister Dick and Malaysia, who stood atop the entrance stage offering sarcastic applause for the victory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
