  1. RAW 8/10 in Real-Time from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

    3 Comments

    It seems that Joe wants the week off, and with my power due to go off at any minute. I’m doing Real-Time this week, for the second week in three.

    Stay tuned to BWF, as I watch NCIS.

    The search for HBK is on! My guess is, he’s in a  bar having a few brewskis. I know it’s never going to happen, but come on WWE, swerve us will you?

    This RAW is from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Where a certain someone was born to wrestle, and bred to win. All rise for the playing of the Canadian National Anthem.

    Randy Orton starts us off. He’s been hearing rumours, apparently. Were they rumours, or the Voices in your head Randy? My namesake goes on about how it’s no rumour that he’s gonna beat John Cena at Summerslam, and that seemed to be the lightbulb in the head of the challenger, as Cena comes out. Cena wants Orton to bully him, that right there proves that John Cena is not a ladies man. Johnny boy gets up close and personal with the son of Cowboy Bob, and this brings out JeriShow, with the single worst entrance music in the history of entrance music.

    Show finds it amusing that Cena and Orton are up close and personal with each other. Show speaks, but there’s a Canadian in the ring, so the crowd chant for Jericho. Cena makes a Shaq joke, then asks why have the Tag Team champions made their presence. Jericho plugs Canada, then tells Cena he’s got a one-on-one match against him. Randy gets his two bobs in, but Big Show cuts him off, telling RKO that its gonna be Show and Orton one-on-one.

    The Sarge sounds like he needs a cough drop to soothe that throat. This brings us to commercial.

    Ooh look, there’s a vote. Who did the Sarge beat for the WWE Championship? Savage, Hogan or Warrior. Shouldn’t the question be, which one will be the first to appear on WWE RAW?

    MATCH#1: Four-Way Divas – Winner gets a Divas Title shot

    Kelly Kelly vs Alicia Fox vs Gail Kim vs Beth Phoenix

    If you want to find out what actually happens, in this match, find someone who cares about the WWE Women’s division, I’m off to get food.

    As I return from not paying attention to the match. I hear Cole describe Kim as ‘elastic-like’, and I hear more grunting than Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon. You’ve gotta love it don’t you? It has appeared for weeks that Beth Phoenix will face Mickie James for the belt, and yet …

    YOUR WINNER: Gail Kim

    It’s the first ever TNA KnockOuts champion who gets the victory.

    Out comes Slaughter to pretty much zero reaction from the crowd. He starts off by sucking up to Canada, and saluting the C anadian flag? Has the Sarge turned on the U.S. for the second time in his career? Of course not. Sarge turns on his newly made friends, by saying if it wasn’t for the U.S., they would be speaking Russian and French now. Infact, most of them speak French. Now Sarge wants Canadians to pay respect to the United States. Looks like Slaughter’s playing bad guy tonight.

    We’re back, and a recap of Triple H announcing he’s reforming DX for SummerSlam, and how trips travelled to Texas to find him. Yip.

    MATCH#2: Jack Swagger vs Evan Bourne

    The rubber match between the two. This match will go no longer than five minutes. I guarantee it.

    Swagger uses his power advantage early on, until Bourne uses his speed advantage to control the match. Swagger with a submission hold, but Bourne escapes and attack with some kicks, ending with a near fall. Swagger looks for the powerbomb, but Evan counters into a roll-up for a near fall. Swagger introduces his opponent to the turnbuckle as hard as he possibly can, and one Gutwrench Powerbomb later, and Dusty Rhodes gets the pin.

    YOUR WINNER: Jack Swagger.

    Told you the match would be quick. Swagger on the mic, and after he talks. Here comes MVP. He doesn’t care that Dusty is a 2-time All-American, the Canadians don’t care. Nobody cares. MVP challenges Swagger to a match tonight. Swagger wants it next week, but MVP isnt happy and pushes Swagger out of the ring.

    Don’t forget. Orton vs Show, Jericho vs Cena and the hunt for the Christian. Still to come.

    COMMERCIAL

    Back, and we’re hunting Christians. H hits on a guy, and scores. A little girl wants a hamburger, and it’s Texas Chef HBK. H is shocked. I think it’s lame-i-fied.

    Here comes the Sarge again. He has bought us Celine Dion to sing the Canadian National Anthem. That’s a lie, as it’s really Jillian. I’d prefer Jillian to Celine Dion.

    COMMERCIAL

    Why is Vince plugging Monk?

    Back from commercial, and it’s a contract on a pole match? Vince Russo IS writing for the WWE.

    MATCH#3: Contract on a Pole

    Eugene vs Calgary Kid

    Eugene channels his inner Rock, and hits the Rock Bottom and the People’s Elbow, but that doesnt affect the Calgary Kid. Calgary Kid knocks Eugene off the ropes and grabs the contract.

    YOUR WINNER:  Calg…

    Wait a minute, that isn’t the Calgary Kid. He just hit the Stroke!

    YOUR WINNER: Jeff Jarr..

    Wait a minute, that’s not the Chosen One, it’s …

    YOUR WINNER: The Miz

    The Miz is back on RAW, so what was the point of last week?

    COMMERCIAL

    We’re back with the Rewind, Show beating the hell out of Kofi last week.

    MATCH#4: Randy Orton vs the Big Show

    Big Show has been borrowing John Tenta’s ring attire.

    Show gets up close and personal to Orton, but Randy backs away. Maybe Orton only likes it when it’s Cena close to him. Randy Orton has had a grand total of zero offence so far in this match. I’ve been in and out during this match, so I have missed sections. I get back to see RKO looking for just that, the RKO, but Show blocks it. Show connects with the Chokeslam, but Orton is too close to the ropes, and gets his foot on the rope, when Show goes for the fall. Big Show goes for the fist, but Orton ducks under and heads out of the ring, and deliberately gets counted out.

    YOUR WINNER VIA COUNTOUT: Big Show

    Hunting for Christians Part Two

    Shawn gets tater tots thrown in his face. Also, he can’t cook. When I worked in the food industry, I never burned the grill like that. I only saw someone smash  a light globe into the fry vats.

    COMMERCIAL

    Another pointless Did You Know? from the folks at WWE.

    MATCH#5: MVP vs Chris Masters

    MVP doesn’t get to fight Swagger, instead he gets the Masterpiece.

    Masters with the assualt on MVP in the early going. He continues the advantage until he applies a chinlock-type hold, then MVP gets the momentum. MVP’s jumpsuit is as bright as Mark Henry’s costume last week. Masters goes for the Masterlock, but MVP counters into the Playmaker!!

    YOUR WINNER: MVP

    Enter the Swagger. The All-American American causes a long enough distraction for the Masterlock to be applied. Once that’s done, Swagger hits his Powerbomb.

    A pop for Piven and Dr. Ken and their publicity run last week.

    COMMERCIAL: They love these during a broadcast, don’t they?

    Back again, and it’s time for …

    Hunting for Christians, Part Three

    Shawn’s hired Hunter to help him flip burgers. Shawn Sweet Chins his boss. An old lady tells me to suck it, and Shawn Sweet Chin’s a little girl.

    Enter the Sarge yet again, and he cues the music of the Hitman. But no, it’s not Bret Hart, it’s Jim Duggan, complete with American flag.

    COMMERCIAL

    We’re back, with the Slam of the Week. Mark Henry vs Chavo Guerrero from last week.

    MATCH#6: Hornswoggle and Mark Henry vs ??

    Chavo was meant to be competing, but he is ‘injured’, so he calls on Legacy to take his place.

    Henry gets the upper hand, before Legacy start the dissecting. However, that is short lives, as Henry regains control. World’s Strongest Slam on DiBiase, the tag to Hornswoggle for the Splash, but DiBiase gets out of the way and Cody takes out Henry. One Dream Street later, and it’s bye bye to the Woggle.

    YOUR WINNERS: Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.

    After the match, Legacy grab mics and book themselves to do the J.O.B to DX at SummerSlam.

    We’re back with a rundowm of the SummerSlam card, then Josh Matthews interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho says he’s winning for Calgary, then Show arrives. BIg Show bitches about how Orton ran off on him, Jericho bags out Calgary. Matthews tells Jericho the cameras are still rolling. Jericho feels like a tool.

    COMMERCIAL

    Next week’s RAW Guest Host. Former WWE writer, Freddie Prinze Jr.

    MAIN EVENT: Chris Jericho vs John Cena

    Cena gains the early momentum, until Jericho takes over. Cena ends up outside the ring, where Y2J introduces him to the ring steps. Jericho then applies a Camel Clutch, just because Sarge is guest host. Back in the ring, and Cena somehow gains control. He looks for the shuffle, but Jericho rolls him up for the two. Jericho misses with the Lionsault, but doesn’t with the Walls attempt. Cena counters into the STF, but Orton comes and breaks it up before the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rollah can tap, causing the DQ.

    YOUR WINNER BY DQ: John Cena

    Cena gets in Orton’s face, but eats a CodeBreaker from Jericho. Jericho shoves Orton, so Jericho gets knocked down. Enter Show. Chokeslam to Orton. Sarge comes out and announces JeriShow vs Cena and Orton for next week, as we end.

    There, even though the servers for BWF crashed during this broadcast, I did my best to bring you the action.

  2. Less than three days later …

    After being involved in the coverage of WWE Extreme Rules this past week. II’m back to bring you my weekly Wednesday column. Now, all links will lead to my favourite racing moments or races or crashes, or just funny moments.

    WWE

    My opinions of Extreme Rules has already been expressed. So I’m going to comment on other things.

    Umaga was released. A case of a guy who was pushed, then nothing. Pushed, then nothing. He had just recently come back and into the feud with CM Punk. The release comes as a bit of a shock but it isnt a surprise. He was getting pushed and pushed, and yet he wasnt getting the crowd reaction of a main event guy. Maybe he could do better in TNA. Speaking of which, guess where Mr. Kennedy’s going in September?

    Vickie Guerrero quits as General Manager of RAW. Rumour has it, that she is leaving for good, to spend more time with her kids. Good for Vickie for wanting to spend time with your kids. No offence, but it seems, for the most part, you tarnished your late husband somewhat.

    Greatest Race Ever! Find the race on YouTube, theres 12 parts to it, but it’s all worth it, I promise.

    Triple H returns. Yes, the Game, the King of Kings returned on RAW to attack Legacy. Now, as we talked about during our Extreme Rules coverage, Hunter wasnt out for that long at all after the Scott Norwood kick. Shawn Michaels was out months, it ended the WWE career of RVD, and yet both Vince McMahon and Triple H were both out for about a month and a half. Those McMahons must have super powers or something.

    TNA

    To be honest, I missed iMPACT this week. due to my cable being down. Let’s see what I missed.

    It doesnt look like much at all. The MMG and Lethal Consequences were named as Suicide’s opponents for the first ever X-Division King Of The Mountain. That isnt a shock at all. i’m sure I’ll have more next week.

    I thought I might just put this here.

    I’m gonna finish this column with a reminder to Ricardo Rosset and Taki Inoue. Poor Taki needs to watch for cars, as for Ricardo. Well, thanks for making my night a whole lot better.

    Peace out, or whatever, tune in next week, and read all the columns. Oh, and avoid the beer bottles, we just turned one, so we’re breaking it in. Well I am anyways, by drinking the place dry.
