Monday Night Raw 4/26/2010

Monday Night Raw began at 8 pm.  It was the WWE Draft.  Raw wrestlers against Smackdown to decide who got the draft picks.  Raw acquired, Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, Chris Jericho. Smackdown acquired The Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Kelly Kelly, and Christian.  Also there was number 1 contender for the wwe title.  Between Orton, Sheamus, and Batista.  Which proved to be the same old same old.  Orton would have been victorious had he not been speared by Edge.  Also last night a tag team fight between The Big Show and The Miz vs The Hart Dynasty.  The winner was the Hart Dynasty.  Granted the show started earlier but much of it is still lagging and the same thing.  They need to spice it up some how to compete against other television shows on right now.  Triple H is out right now due to his injuries he suffered at Extreme Rules by Sheamus.  Orton did all but call Sheamus a dirty fighter, and for assuming he would get a title shot instead of earning it.

Raw 4/19/2010 HIghlights

We open with an announcement about the fact the whole Raw crew were stuck in the airport in Europe because of the volcanic ash.
Which Triple H handled the job of telling the fans well.  And well... he was funny, which if you've seen Blade 3 you already know.
The show was filled with members of the Smackdown crew.
It was a chance too for them to remind fans about the draft next week, which is suppose to be a 3 hour show.
I like that fact they pointed out how greasy CM Punk's hair is... I've been saying that for months.  Wash it, cut it, and I hope you have to shave it after your match with Rey Mysterio.  I've actually thought about shaving my skull like that Seline or whatever Punk's girl is named, but I wouldn't look any good that way, not brave enough.  Yeah I'm babbling cause there's not much show to actually do a review on.
Rey Mysterio then came to the ring for the five minute beat down. He grabbed the hair snippers, while Triple H held down Punk. He got a nice chunk of hair off him too.  I guess that means that on Sunday at the ppv Punk will loose the rest of his hair.

Drew McIntyre vs Matt Hardy.  Drew went right after Hardy, but missed and Hardy managed to get the first punch in. Drew came back with a series of kicks but Hardy turned it around with a neckbreaker. Drew out of the ring, Hardy used a flying axehandle. Drew then threw him head first into the steps. Drew then started in on more kicks to the skull, following it up with a short clothesline. Hardy was down on the ropes and tired to come back with a side effect.  He used another neckbreaker on Drew but only got a two count. Both men went for short clotheslines in the corner taking each other down. Hardy was going for a top rope move, but Drew took out the legs and got the cover. 

Vladimir Kozlov's speech was bang on.  I like this dude.  Then the guest host came out... Okay the Canadian is bored....
He went up against R-Truth... or not as Truth seemed to be ... blown up.  What the freal?  Was this wrestling or an episode of Saturday Night Live?  

Kane doing comedy?  What now?   Hang on... more Kane doing comedy please.

Swagger cut a promo... someone tape his mouth shut please.  Wow, the Undertaker took him up on his open challenge.  Interesting.  Wow, it's takes him 6 minutes to get to the ring.   They started with a collar tie up, Swagger slapping on a side head lock, then using the ropes for a running shoulder block. Another collar tie up, with Undertaker slapping on a side headlock. He then started to work on Swagger's shoulder. Undertaker walked the ropes, then added an elbow to the shoulder of Swagger. Swagger started to use kicks to fight back, and followed it with a scoop slam.  Undertaker had to roll out of the ring after a series of kicks from Swagger.

He then started to work on the leg of the Undertaker. He got him into the corner tying him up in the ropes.  Undertaker threw Swagger out of the ring for a moment, setting him up on the apron for his leg drop. Undertaker used a snap suplex but only got a two count. He then started to work on the neck of swagger with a choke hold.  Swagger fought out and slapped a leg lock on him, Undertaker booting him to the face.  Swagger went back to the knee getting Undertaker in a strange submission hold. Swagger back out of the ring, but had done enough damage on the leg of Undertaker. Back in the ring, and they traded blows for a few minutes. Undertaker used a DDT but only got a two count. Swagger went face first into the top turnbuckle, but sill only a two count. Swagger fought out of the choke slam but walked face first into a boot. Swagger used a spinning neckbreaker but only got a near fall. Choke slam applied followed by a tombstone piledriver for the win.

Triple H/Rey Mysterio/Edge vs CM Punk/Luke Gallows/Jericho.  Rey and Jericho started it off. Jericho with a kick to the gut of Rey then Rey used a spinning head scissors on him sending Jericho into the ropes. Punk and Gallows came to help him only to have Rey springboard into a suicide dive knocking them all down. Back in the ring, and Punk has tagged in, he's got Rey in a bridged submission. Punk then put Rey face first into the post.  Gallows in, with a series of stomps to Rey. Then a series of drop elbows only getting a two count. Jericho tagged back in, with a large side slam on Rey. Rey fought back with kicks, but Jericho monkey flipped him into the corner. Rey used the ropes for a spring board moonsault but only got a two count.  Edge and Gallows tagged in. Edge with a boot and flying shoulderblock on Gallows. Then a sit down neckbreaker on Gallows. Chaos outside the ring. Punk tagged in, stomping on the injured leg of Edge. Jericho back in and continued to work on the leg. Punk back in with a quick tag working again on the leg with a figure four. Gallows tagged in, stepping on the leg. Edge went for a flying clothesline, Triple H tagged in.  Punk tagged in. Triple H with a high knee and a jaw breaker followed by a clothesline but only got a two count. Spinebuster. Chaos again.

Dude, I'm bored... watching this and you're telling me I've sat through it for nothing cause there was no Sheamus this week.  Dude this sucks! (the 30 seconds on the monitor does not count even though he looked fabulous in a suit)

Raw Highlights April 12th 2010

We open with a Divas championship match between Eve and Maryse. ...I don't care. oh hair ref hair.   Eve won the belt this will be her first title run.

Miz and Big Show were cutting a promo when Bret Hart came out from the back. I used to be totally in love with Bret Hart back in the 1980's/early 1990's. Now... dude hair cut please!  Then the Hart Dynasty came out... predictable. I like the Miz, he talks like an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Smith challenged Miz to a one on one match. Natayla always seems to have her hands on her cousin's shoulder or arms or something, does that weird anyone else out?  There was a commercial and when we returned, Smith was using a roll up on Miz but only got a two count, he then had Miz down on the mat using a submission style move which he turned into two slams, never letting go of the hold. Miz fought out with elbows. Smith then got Miz into the corner with a hard boot.  Miz went across the ring but managed to get a boot of his own up. Smith sent Miz over in an overhead toss before hanging him on the second rope. Smith then used his vertical suplex but only got a near fall. Miz took the legs out from under Smith with a kick to the knee. This let Miz turn things around with a top rope move, double axe handle  but only got a two count.  Miz then followed with a camel clutch. Smith broke the hold but backing up into the corner crushing Miz. They then exchanged fists for the next few minutes before Smith used a series of clotheslines and a scoop slam on Miz.  Smith then used a belly to belly but only got a two count. Miz turned it around with a flying clothesline in the corner, then back to the top rope. But Smith caught him with a kick midmove. The Sharpshooter was added, but BS caused a distraction. Miz used his skullcrusher for the win.

Evan Bourne vs Carlito.  We start with a collar tie up which led to  Bourne going face first into the top turnbuckle. Carlito sent him into the other corner but Bourne turned it into spinning scissors move. He backed it up with a series of kicks to the upper body of Carlito. Carlito grabbed him with a power slam then started to stomp on Bourne. He then followed up with a choke hold. Another series of kicks from Bourne but Carlito gave him one of his own then got a two count. He used a suplex next but got only a near fall. Both men trading blows for a moment then Bourne used a running drop kick in the corner. Carlito then hip tossed Bourne into the corner, going for his backstabber but Bourne countered. Bourned used his trademark airbourne for the win. 

I'm bored where the hell is Sheamus?

John Cena vs David Otunga.  Cena when for a take down getting David off his feet, slapping on a chinlock. David tried to power out of it, but Cena used a hiptoss take down, getting a submission hold on him. Cena then started to work on the wrist and arm of David. Cena then went for what looked like a full nelson but changed it up into another hiptoss take down going right back to a chinlock/choke hold.  They started trading fists, Cena knocked down David twice then slapped a suplex on him. Batista was at ringside getting Cena's attention. But it wasn't enough as Cena still managed to give a running clothesline to David taking him off his feet. He slapped on the STF for the win.

Sheamus the white knight  vs Kofi Kingston. They started with a collar tie up (I know everyone does) Sheamus tossing Kofi into the corner but came back at him with a hard kick to the left thigh. Sheamus answered with a kick of his own then put Kofi into a side headlock. Kofi battled out with a series of elbows sending Sheamus off the ropes, and Sheamus smoothly used a clothesline knocking Kofi down. Another series of kicks from Kofi, followed by a drop kick. Kofi held the ropes and Sheamus went outside of the ring. Kofi then went for an aerial move but Sheamus crawled back into the ring, Kofi on the apron  dragging Sheamus into the top turnbuckle. Kofi then off the top rope for another drop kick but it only got him a two count. Sheamus answered with a double axe handle to the top of the head of Kofi.  Kofi then outside of the ring, Sheamus pulled him back in going for another cover but only a two count. He then applied a submission move on Kofi. Sheamus then used a simple slam but it was only a two count. Kofi then back at him with another series of kicks before another drop kick. Kofi used his boomdrop then used his trademark trouble in paradise but Sheamus broke the hold with the bottom rope. Sweet. Back outside the ring, and Sheamus used a monitor on him getting a DQ.

Another pointless match the Baywatch Babes .... yeah fast forwarded.

Randy Orton vs Batista.  My money is on Orton. They started with a collar tie up, Orton in the corner. Orton then slapped on a sidehead lock which he managed to turn into a slide down drop toe hold. Nice. Another side headlock by Orton, then they both started to trade blows. Orton used a reversed hangman then started his stomp. He went for a flying knee but missed, and Batista sent him shoulder first into the ring post, Orton then rolled out of the ring. Back in the ring and we have Batista with a chin lock on Orton in the middle of the ring. Orton went face first into the second turnbuckle, just before Batista pulled him half out of the ring onto the apron and used a series of forearms. He went for a cover but it was only a two count. Batista put a choke hold on Orton but Orton powered out. Both men used a clothesline off the ropes, before Batista tore up the announce booth. Orton found a way to get out of it, sending Batista face first into the table. Back in the ring and Batista lands a series of kicks to the face of Orton. Orton then sent Batista into the ring post following it up with another round of clotheslines. Batista went for his Batistabomb but Orton got a scoop slam on him, starting his shapeshifting.  Batista rolled out of the ring and used a cheapshot of rake to the eyes but Orton got him with his second rope DDT. Only a two count. Orton seemed to put a hold on his shapeshifting routine and even though he went for an RKO he didn't manage it the first time, Batista countered it with a spinebuster.  Batista turned around but walked right into an RKO. He would have had it with that second one but Swagger ran out ruining the match causing a DQ.

Raw: 4/5/2010

We opened with Swagger coming out with the belt.   I still don't think that he should be holding a title.
Then Cena came out and said the same thing.  Randy Orton came out to the ring to the crowd screaming and cheering.  Bout time too.  Orton is one of the most talented wrestlers in the business.
Normally I don't bother paying attention to the guest host, but this week it made sense.  It was one of the rookies from the NXT. Finally another wrestler as the guest host and not a fallen celebrity.

Match #1 Kofi Kingston vs Sheamus.   They started with a collar tie up, Sheamus then following with a couple of hard forearms to the back of the neck of Kofi.  Kofi fought back with a series of kicks to the torso of Sheamus, then followed it up with what was looking like an off the ropes cross body but Sheamus caught him in midair turning it into a backbreaker. Kofi was then down in the corner giving Sheamus the upper hand with a series of stomps and a short clothesline. Sheamus then went to work on the back of the neck of Kofi getting him in a stretched submission move. Kofi managed to get out of it, getting to the corner for what seemed to be a boot but was countered by Sheamus who raked Kofi's face across the top rope. Kofi powered back with a kick to the face then a springboard slam, he went for another top rope move but Sheamus answered with his punt kick. Sheamus then used his celtic cross border toss for the win.

Match #2 Divas battle royal. Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim, Rosa Mendes, Jillian, Katie Lea Burchil, The Bella Twins, Eve Torres.        Rosa over top rope, Bella twins eliminated, Katie Lea and Gail Kim both gone, Kelly Kelly gone, Fox gone, Jillian gone.   Eve wins.

Match #3 Miz/Big Show vs Cena/Batista.  Cena and Miz started, with a armbar on Miz which was turned into an flip into a choke hold.  Miz fought out, but got caught in a drop toe hold. BS tagged in with a headbutt on Cena.  He followed with a series of punches before tossing Cena into the ring post back first. Miz tagged in, with a few upper cuts to Cena following it with a running kick in the corner but missed. Cena then slammed a short clothesline on Miz before running out of the ring to beat on Batista. Cena was counted out.

Match #4 Ted DiBiase vs Christian.  DiBiase went for a swing at Christian but missed, Christian then countered with a series of upper cuts and a hard over head flip. Christian then tossed him onto the ropes, standing on his upper back before jumping over, but DiBiase moved out of the way of what looked like another upper cut.  Christian then tossed him out of the ring. Christian followed up with a baseball slide dropkick then a simple leap over the top ropes. Back in the ring, DiBiase used a neck breaker on him. He went for a cover but only got a near count. He followed this with a choke hold, but Christian powered out, and walked into a shot clothesline. DiBiase threw him into the corner going for a running clothesline, but Christian used a swingset on the second rope to get out of the way bringing both feet up to connect with DiBiase's face.  He went for a cross body lateral press but only got a two count. Christian went for his finishing move but was countered by DiBiase's finishing move, which was countered once again by Christian. Christian then was thrown into the ring post shoulder first giving DiBiase a chance to use his dreamstreet for the win.

Match #5 Swagger vs Orton.  Swagger got the first move in with a hard kick and a series of punches landing Orton in the corner. Orton managed to move before a slam was given, catching Swagger by the arm with an extended kick. He then started his stomp with a large flying knee. Swagger then picked up Orton on his shoulder for a flip press slam. Orton was tossed over the ropes to land hard out on the floor. Back in the ring, Orton used a couple of upper cuts, then a running clothesline. Swagger used the top rope then for a neck breaker. Orton went into the ring guard. Back in the ring and Swagger used a suplex on him. This was followed with a second and a stretch submission move on Orton. Orton countered, sending Swagger to the floor. Orton then used his hangman DDT but Swagger had his foot on the rope keeping it only a two count. Orton then went for two short running clotheslines and a scoop slam followed by his backbreaker, getting ready to uncoil. Swagger countered the RKO, using a running splash but only got a two count. He went for his gutwrench powerbomb but was countered and the RKO was hit. Orton won but it was an non-title match.

Match #6 Miz/Big Show in a second match vs Cena/David Otunga the guest host.  Cena and Miz started with collar tie up turning it into an armbar then tagged in David, who went for a side head lock on Miz. Then a series of shoulder blocks knocking Miz to the mat. Cena tagged back in with a few punches to Miz then using a running bulldog on him. Miz managed to get in an elbow staggering Cena, BS going for a cheap then tagged in. BS was just punching Cena in the middle of the ring. Cena fought back trying to use a shoulder block but failed. BS then stood on Cena's chest. Miz tagged back in being used as a ram. Miz got a two count then went to work on the neck with a modified clutch. Cena got to his feet for a second but was back on the mat in a choke hold. Cena broke the hold, both him and Miz going for running clotheslines both down. BS tagged in and got the pin on Cena.   Second match in the night that Cena got screwed by a tag partner.

Career Profile: Shawn Michaels 1988-2010

Shawn Michaels has had a huge career in the WWE. 16 years in WWE alone. Now that he has retired we thought it was a good time to do a profile on him. During his training he adopted the name Shawn Michaels. He was trained by Jose Lothario. Who was a mexican wrestler. He then appeared as Shawn Michaels with Mid-South Wrestling and Texas All-Star Wrestling, at this time he was 19. Shawn Michaels made his national-level debut at the age of 20 in American Wrestling Association. In 1987, he teamed up with Marty Jennetty to become The Rockers. The Rockers were signed by a competing promotion: the World Wrestling Federation. They were fired two weeks later. They were resigned to the WWF a year later.

The Rockers lasted from 1988-1991

Then Shawn Michaels became HBK (Heart Break Kid) who's reign was from 1992-1995. Which is when he fought Brett Hart for the title. First time he fought Hart he lost at his first pay-per-view. This where he had alot of his fighting with Brett Hart. In 1987 HBK performed in the first ever Hell in the Cell match. His oponent was Undertaker.

Shawn Michaels left wrestling in 2000 then returned during the NWO that reigned on WWE. He spent much of his time fighting with Triple H. After that during 2006-2007 he fought with Vince McMahon. In 2007-2008 there were various feuds featuring DX which was Michaels and Triple H.

His career came to a close with Wrestlemania when he lost to the Undertaker. His last match stipulation was Undertaker's streak versus Shawn Michael's career. The following Monday Shawn Michaels said Goodbye to the audience and that "Shawn Michaels has left the building."

Smackdown 4/2/2010

Program Note for Canadian viewers who watch WWE on the Score Monday Night's Raw for this coming week of April 5th 2010 the show will air Tuesday April 6th 2010 at 7 PM instead

We open with Jericho in the ring and Edge came out Speared him, then Jack Swagger came down and cashed in his Money in the Bank case picking the bones clean on Jericho to win the title. That's total bulls**t. Swagger has no right to be that far up the food chain.

Match #1 RTruth/John Morrison vs Cryme Tyme. Truth and Shad started it off with a collar tie up leading into a sideheadlock by Truth who then went off the ropes for a running shoulder block but got nowhere with it. Shad went for a power press but Truth blocked it using an off the ropes for his scissors kick. Morrison tagged in. with starship pain for the win. Over all ready? And so is Cryme Tyme by the looks of it as Shad man handled JTG after the match.

Match #2 Drew McIntyre vs Matt Hardy. Drew did not wait for Hardy to get in the ring. He sent him flying into the ring post and then used a double underhook DDT on him. Did the bell even ring? Was this even an official match?

Match #3 The Great Khali vs Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler ran out of the ring then back in only to have his head removed by a massive clothesline then tossed face first into the top turnbuckle. This was followed up with a frypan of a chop. This was followed by a large boot to the face. Ziggler got tossed out of the ring, and as Khali was about to bring him back hair first, he used the top rope for a hangman on Khali. Ziggler then went to the top rope to help slap his sleeper on him but Khali tossed him off. Ziggler when right back to the sleeper, getting them down on the mat. Ziggler gets the win. Ziggler is one of the best Feels/Haces around { not really a Face but not really a Heel}

You know, I have said before I think the whole CM Punk doing his Jesus Christ pose is over the top, and I'm not even Christian so I have no idea how others feel about this but it just seems like a really bad idea to keep this story line any longer. He must be reading this blog cause he's offering up that greasy looking mop he calls hair at his rematch against Mysterio.

Match #4 McCool/Layla vs Tiffany/ Beth Phoenix. McCool and Tiffany started it off with a collar tie up, Tiffany ending up in the corner. Tiffany then countered with a drop toe hold and an atomic drop before flipping McCool into the corner. McCool tossed her then across the ring before using the ropes to choke Tiffany. Layla tagged in, they double teamed her. Layla then went for a camel clutch but Beth tagged in using clothlines. She followed it with an airplane spin and another clothesline before using her glamslam for the win.

Match #5 Kane vs the entire NXT crew. I have no idea who is who cause we don't have that show here. Kane slammed one of them, then low drop kick. Someone with bad hair tagged in, he got a few punches and a back elbow on Kane, but Kane tossed him around the ring, someone in white tagged in then tagged out... you know this is chaos. Kane dominated all of these guys with only a few punches and shoulder blocks being of any use on Kane. This was an elimination match. Kane took out half the crew before they piled up on him. The ref rang the bell calling the match a dq for the fact the crew were suppose to tag in and out and they just didn't.

Is it me or is Monday Night Raw loosing it's edge? I found myself bored at times. The matches seem the same. Cena came out talking about his title win. Which brought out Batista who conveniently wants his rematch. Which ended up bring out Swagger who won the money in the bank match and almost cashed it in but thought twice.

There was a match between Batista and Jack Swagger versus John Cena and Randy Orton. Was nothing amazing about this match. Orton dominated the match for the win.

Brett Hart came out to thank everyone for the run he's had recently. From there Big Show and The Miz came out running their mouth to which the Hart Dynasty came out. The Hart Dynasty won via count out. As Big Show and The Miz ranaway. Very typical of them.

Shawn Michaels bid the WWE farewell, thanking so many as he had been there for 16 years. What is in store next for the Heartbreak Kid no one really knows.

There was a Diva match as there usually is one. Eve, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim defeated Divas Champion Maryse, Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, Layla, Alicia Fox & Vickie Guerrero.

Christian defeated Ted DiBiase in a Legends Lumberjack Match. Which looked really lame all the old timers from the wrestling industry.

Triple H was attacked by Sheamus, big surprise there. Sheamus needs to go back to uggville.

As for the guest GM end it now. It is not helping the show. In fact I would have to say it's crippling the company.

He used a flying shoulder block to knock down Benjamin. Another quick tag to Bourne who went to the top rope for his airbourne but McIntyre shook the top rope, Bourne stumbled but managed to land a kick to McIntyre before he fell.

Match #2 Diva's match. Beth Phoenix vs Vickie. This is Vickie's first ever match. Which became a 5 on 1 handi cap match. The Diva's locker room emptied for this match. Layla started againt Beth and was just over powered with a slam to the corner. Layla got one elbow in before getting slammed.

BS went to the second rope for a flying elbow but missed. Morrison ran into the ring and they double teamed him, having the match thrown out.

This was a short show, so to speak. Only three matches, but the rest was all recaps and shots of fans at the pre-wrestlmaina events.

Given Vickie has been in the business for over a decade, I was expecting a lot more out of her match. I thought that we would finally see her do something with the knowledge she's gathered from her famous wrestling family. But sadly she did not. I really really hope Vickie was paid a lot for that tights pull down. That takes a brave confident woman to be put through that on television.

2010 WWE Hall of Fame inductee announcement: Gorgeous George
Gorgeous George, has been announced as the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010. The legendary blond wrestler, whose robes were equally as spectacular, became a cultural sensation in the 1940s and 1950s.   

After inviting Mr. McMahon and his WrestleMania opponent Bret Hart to the ring, special guest host “Stone Cold” Steve Austin did what he does best – made The Chairman squirm.

Austin announced that, under his orders, Bret Hart’s father, Stu, would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010. Austin then recalled how tough The “Hit Man” was in their WrestleMania 13 match as his fellow WWE Hall of Famer signed the match contract. As Mr. McMahon glared across the table at his hobbled opponent’s crutches and broken leg, he also gleefully signed his name to the document. And that’s when the trap was slowly, sweetly revealed.

As Austin departed, he implored Hart to “tell Vince.” Much to Mr. McMahon’s dismay, The Excellence of Execution then tossed his crutch aside, removed his cast and informed the man who had screwed him more than 12 years earlier that his leg was perfectly fine. He also told a shocked Chairman that if he tried to back out of their match, he would sue him for every cent just before he clobbered The Chairman with his cast. As a final verbal backhand, Hart paraphrased Mr. McMahon from 12 years ago: "Vince just screwed Vince.”

Pete Rose will serve as Raw’s special guest host next week
The man many call the greatest baseball player ever, Pete Rose, will be honored next week as Raw’s special guest host.

Monday Night RAW Feb 22, 2010

You can find this post on my blog here

The show begins with Jericho flapping his jaw yet again makes you wonder if he gets sick of hearing his voice. Out comes Edge to spear Jericho. Edge has made his choice for WrestleMania and he will battle Jericho for the title. Out comes John Cena after Edge and Jericho left the arena. John Cena lost the title to Batista last night at the elimination chamber. Cena is talking about how he was screwed by McMahon along with Brett Hart. Cena decided to invoke his rematch clause which brings out McMahon. He seems way to confident with himself.

Cena is determined to get his title match. And Batista isn't defending til WrestleMania. And McMahon reminds Cena that Sheamus has a rematch as well. Cena is in a match tonight, if he wins he goes to Wrestlemania. If he looses Sheamus goes to WrestleMania. Cena battles Batista tonight. That should be an interesting match to say the least.

*on a side note keep in mind both titles are still sitting in Smackdown hands so I'm not sure what good this does.

Maryse versus Gail Kim part of the finales to win the match for the women's title. Gail Kim is wasting no time to win the match, Maryse had to quickly fix her top (my guess these tops don't work well for wrestling). Both girls are badly injured. Both girls are digging down deep to win the match. Maryse is the new Diva's Champion.

Later on tonight will be Diva bull riding. Jewel has hurt her ankle bull riding on a mechanical bull. And of course you see Gillian butchering Jewels song. Jewel got to slap Gillian Hall.

Next they show Orton and discussing the betrayal of DiBiase. Cody Rhodes is kissing up way too much. Orton is blaming himself. And Orton talks about his bullying. Orton sends a message to DiBiase that he's sorry. Legacy is out to destroy Orton. That much is obvious with reference to "the plan"

Legacy versus Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, and Yoshi Tatsu (well now we know where Tatsu from ECW are). Bourne desperate to make a tag. Bourne tags in Kingston who's on fire. Until he hit the viper. Orton got tagged in. Orton is quick to destroy Kingston. Kingston trying to battle back. Legacy are conspiring in the corner. Orton delivered a DDT to Rhodes and a RKO to DiBiase. Orton left a laid out Legacy and Bourne, Tatsu and Kingston win the match using the airborne. Orton is very confident about being the leader of Legacy.

Shawn Michaels is coming out to explain his actions at the Elimination Chamber. Michael's is counting on a reaction from the Undertaker. Which cuts into the Undertaker's music. Undertaker looks especially grim tonight. Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania. Michaels has to put up his soul as part of the match. Michaels career will end if he looses to Undertaker.

Christian is up for a match versus Carlito for a money in the bank ladder match at WrestleMania. A lot of fast moving and kill switch delivered by Christian who earns a ticket to WrestleMania with a money in the bank.

Jewel & Ty Murray host Diva Bull Riding Competition the Diva's beat Big Show when he attempted to ride a bull and lost and then Big Show and The Miz were informed they had a title match.

Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz versus Mark Henry & MVP The winner of the match was Big Show and The Miz

2010 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee announcement: Wendi Richter The two-time WWE Women’s Champion will be inducted the night before WrestleMania.

Mr. McMahon invited Bret Hart back to Raw next week for a proper “farewell” He will be brought back next week to give a final farewell to the WWE Universe.

Cheech & Chong will be the special guest managers next week.

John Cena versus WWE Champion Batista The match ended in disqualification when Cena was kicked in the groin by the animal which insured Cena a ticket to WrestleMania

Smackdown for Feb 19 2010

We open with Jericho coming down to the ring talking about his win over Undertaker last week. Claiming he should be the number one contender. Then Edge came down to the ring to tell him otherwise where he speared him. According to the announcer right out of his ... I didn't catch what he called them, but I am guessing it's a status shoe like what a Manolo Blahnik is to a woman.

Match #1 Kane vs Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler looked strong right off the top with a series of kicks and punches getting Kane off guard, but it didn't last for long as Kane tossed him across the ring then slammed him. Ziggler went face first into the top rop before Kane used a low drop kick but only got a near fall. Kane continued his assault with a boot to the throat of Ziggler then another big scoop slam followed by an elbow. Still only got him a two count. Ziggler finally got the upper hand with a series of punches, but it didn't last long. Kane used an upper cut knocking Ziggler to the mat. Ziggler tried to counter but got tossed out of the ring by a closeline. Back in the ring, Ziggler slapped a modified fugiwan (?) armbar but it was countered with a sidewalk slam from Kane. Kane was then going to the top rope when Drew McIntyre came out to the ring giving Ziggler a moment to slap the sleeper on Kane. Getting to the ropes, Kane was able to break the hold, then used his trademark choke slam for the win.

And it looks like the ECW title will be coming to Smackdown.

Match #2 Cryme Tyme vs Caylen Croft/Trent Barreta. JTG and Croft(?) started off with a collar tie up (is that like the first step in the dance a collar tie up? Can't we start off some time with a different move?) looking like Croft had the advantage with a high knee but JTG slid out of the ring knocking Barreta (?) off the ring apron. He then used a shoulder block from outside with a back fly into the ring and a hard elbow off the ropes before going for a near fall. JTG went for a top rope move but was knocked to the floor by Croft. Barreta tagged in going for a pin but only getting a near fall before JTG kicked out. Barreta used a second rope step ladder elbow on JTG in the corner then tagged back in Croft for a double team move. Another quick tag as Barreta jumped over the top rope to land an elbow into the chest of JTG but only got a two count. He then got JTG in the corner on the top rope going for a high risk move, but JTG elbowed his way out, getting a tag to Shad. Shad laid in a series of closelines before an over head drop and a pure power slam for a near fall. Barreta then used a drop kick to get Shad off his feet but it didn't last. Shad used a grapevine for the win.

Match#3 Straight Edge Society vs R-Truth/Morrison. Punk and Morrison started it off with Punk going right for the injured leg of Morrison. Morrison counted with a modified small package getting a one count. Punk then tried again for a leg sweep but Morrison once again countered turning it into a side head lock. R-Truth tagged in and they used a double team stomach breaker with Morrison limping away from the move. R-Truth then slapped a side headlock on Punk keeping him down on the mat before Punk powered out with a side slam of his own. Gallows tagged in only to get slammed in the corner and R-Truth going for a cross body for a near fall. There was a few moments of the Undertaker's pyro scaring everyone into chaos. Punk had tagged back in, using a submission move on Truth. Punk then used a kick to the chest and a scoop slam before tagging back in Gallows. Gallows turned and kicked Morrison off the ring apron to the floor before turning his attention back to R-Truth who was in the corner with a large belly slam. Punk tagged back in with a punch to Truth's back getting him to the mat. Truth countered with a running forearm to Punk's jaw/neck but Punk turned it back around again with a kick of his own. Another quick tag to Gallows who used a series of elbows to the back of Truth. Another tag to Punk who was going for a top rope move but Truth caught him with a kick in mid air. Morrison tagged in with a series of closelines on Punk and a wicked drop kick before using the ropes for a high knee. It was only a two count. Morrison managed to get Gallows off the apron and moved just as Punk was going for a spear, but ended up in the ring post shoulder first. Morrison was going for a kick when Punk moved, and Morrison's injured right ankle connected hard with the ring post. Punk went right to the leg with a series of elbows the ref having to pull him off and end the match. The sound of his leg hitting the ring post was sickening.

Match #4 Matt Hardy/Khali/Maria vs Hard Dynasty. Natalya and Maria started off. Natalya going right for the kill with a belly to back suplex then a stomp to the back of her head. She slapped a side headlock on her tossing Maria into the ropes. Maria countered with a boot to the shoulder. Kidd tagged in as did Matt Hardy, Kidd going right after him with a series of hard forearms but Hardy turned it around with a spinning side slam. Hardy then used a swinging sit down power slam on Kidd from the corner but only got a two count. Smith then blindtagged himself in with a large boot to the gut of Hardy then used a swinging neck breaker for a near fall. Quick tag to Kidd who got a two count. Another quick tag to Smith for a vertical slam then a submission move. Hardy managed to get a side effect on Smith. Smith then got up and tossed Hardy out of the ring head first, with a semi blindtag on Maria. Natalya dragged Maria into the ring then used her nato closeline for the pin.

Match#5 Batista vs Edge. Batista spent the beginning of the match dodging Edge then just walked away. It's interesting to see Edge as a Face after the past 6 years of him being the Heel.

Batista got into the ring and they used a collar tie up. Batista kicking Edge but the upper hand went to Edge as he used a series of forearms on Batista keeping him off center before using a round heel kick, Batista rolling out of the ring. Back in the ring, Batista throws Edge into the ring post back first. He then tore up the stairs before Edge countered with a back body drop onto the stairs rolling back into the ring. Edge then used a running spear off the ring apron before tossing Batista into the ring. Batista had Edge up for a power slam but Edge countered with a revised sitdown power slam for a near fall. Batista used a spine buster but only got a two count. He went for another but Edge countered with a side slam for a near fall. Edge speared him just as the lights went out and the Undertaker had Edge in a choke slam. This was a double DQ.
