Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Josh Matthews
Were past Over the Limit and after another Cena torture porn movie hes still WWE Champion. Also Jerry Lawler finally got his revenge on Cole in a humiliating defeat. Tonight well start building towards Capitol Punishment in four weeks. It should be interesting to see where we go from here as it seems a lot of feuds wrapped up last night. Lets get to it.
An in memory of Randy Savage graphic opens us up.
Theme song hits.
Heres Lawler who says that the long national nightmare is over because Michael Cole has been beaten. He said he had an ace up his sleeve last night. Actually he had a Hart up his sleeve, and heres the Hitman! Bret says hes always respected Jerry over the years as a competitor despite not always seeing things the same way. He had no respect for Michael Cole though so he as glad to help him taste the agony of de-feet.
R-Truth of all people comes out to talk to Bret. He says Bret must be a 90 time WWE Champion and wants Bret to ask him how many championship matches hes had. That would be zero because he didnt care about the little Jimmys like Bret did. He asks if theres something he can give to the fans and asks to take Brets shades to give to the fans.
Truth finds a Little Jimmy in the front row and gives him the glasses. Im a good R-Truth now. Now he thinks he should be next in line for a WWE Championship match but he isnt. Truth takes the glasses back and goes to see Bret again. Its about wins and losses, not giving the fans what they want. He put out John Morrison and he beat Rey last night but now he needs to beat on a Hall of Famer.
Bret says go ahead and try it but he got championship matches because hes the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Truth doesnt get championship matches because hes a freaking lunatic. Truth doesnt like that but heres Cena before we see what he says next. Cena limps out and is clearly in pain. Its a mostly pro-Cena crowd tonight.
Cena chats with Bret for a bit and now its time to talk to the resident lunatic. Cena says he and Truth used to be cool but now he lost his mind. Truth: Used to? Used to is a rooster from Brewster. Well ok then. This thing Truth has been on is all about Cena apparently. The people make it all about him. Cena says that Truth is wrong and that he makes it all about the people.
Truth says that its all about Cena and how he has to get the Cena shirt, the Cena wristbands, go see the new Cena movie, HE WANTS HIS SON BACK! Its all about him now and he isnt going to feel right until he gets his WWE Title match. Cena says hes a bit broken up from last night but its about time someone knocked some sense into Truth. An E-Mail stops that though because the GM isnt sure about Truth. The main event is Truth/Punk vs. Rey/Cena with Bret as referee. Bret gives the kid the sunglasses in a nice touch.
Show and Kane are sitting on a nice car and Show says that theyre going to be in a pack tonight, I think talking about Nexus. Ricardo comes up and yells in Spanish so Show shoves him down. Alberto comes up and yells in Spanish too. The big guys actually leave as Alberto rambles more in Spanish.
Tag Titles: Big Show/Kane vs. David Otunga/Michael McGillicutty
I dont get why these two didnt have the tag title shot last night since they won last week. Punk has boots up to his thighs that are white/yellow and look a bit odd. He sits in on commentary here. Kane and Otunga start us off and David heads to the floor to avoids a seated dropkick. A small chase starts but Otunga misses an elbow drop as Kane fakes him out.
Show comes in to a big pop and heres Michael as well. Show sends him to the floor with ease as we take a break. Back with Nexus working over Kane as Punk says he doesnt care which Nexus team wins the titles. Orunga gets a neckbreaker on Kane for two. Show comes in soon thereafter and the beatdown is on. Punk talks about how everything is going to be ok and Ryan tries to come in. Kane takes him down but Punk says he has faith and kicks Show in the head. A double DDT to Show and we have new champions at 8:54 total.
Back with a video of Orton at a Wal-Mart signing Thats What I Am DVDs. Not as bad a movie as I was expecting even though he was in it less than five minutes.
Big Show and Kane are asked about frustration and Show is all ticked off. Alberto for some reason Slaps him in the face and runs off. The camera goes down and when we find them Albertos car is on Shows leg! Kane shouts at everyone and Ricardo backs the car off. Show screams a lot as medics arrive. Show tries to get up but falls right back down.
Back and Big Show still tries to stand, this time getting over to something to lean on. He wont sit on a stretcher and looks like hes going to try to walk it off.
Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne
Swagger misses a shot in the corner and Bourne snaps off a rana. And there goes that momentum as he runs into a big boot as Swagger takes over. Off to an armbar but the Vader Bomb misses. Bourne gets some kicks in but cant get anywhere with it. One is caught into an ankle lock but Bourne gets out again. Another rana attempts is reversed into a HUGE gutwrecnch powerbomb to end this at 2:10. That impact was awesome.
Post match Bourne is up already and gets a kick to the head of Swagger to send him to the floor in a heap.
Cole is walking around in the back and walks past the Divas, offering Eve a handshake. She sticks her foot in his face instead. Hes up next.
Rocks new movie has done incredibly well.
Heres Cole and he asks for our attention but then says he doesnt deserve it. He wants to apologize to everyone from Jerry to Matthews to Justin Roberts to Mark Yeaton to the fans in Portland to the people all over the WWE Universe. He just wants to come home and do commentary on Raw. He wants to come back with no Cole Mine and no more matches but just one more chance.
Jerry says thanks for that and thanks for giving him a picture for this years Christmas card, which is Cole having Jerrys foot in his mouth. The fans keep chanting You Suck Toes. Jerry also hands him a box of Altoids which Cole accepts. They offer him a chair but heres Miz as Cole sits down.
Miz says there is only one reason why he didnt win the WWE Championship last night, and that reason is Alex Riley. This isnt the first time Riley has failed either as he wasnt at the steel cage match, he cost Miz the title three weeks ago because they dropped the belt and then last night he had the cell phone fall on the ground. Miz wants one more chance at Cena in a one on one match with Alex Riley barred from ringside. He isnt going to leave the ring until he gets an answer either.
Theres an E-Mail and the GM denies the request. Miz is done with Cena because he lost against last night. Riley points out that it wasnt him that quit and Miz slaps him. Miz goes off on Riley and fires him and the fight is on! Riley is destroying Miz, ripping the clothes off of him and throwing him onto the announce table. Riley beats Miz up and we actually get a big Riley chant! Miz is almost out. Riley leaves Miz laying in the middle of the ring in one of the better face turns Ive seen in a good while.
Melina/Maryse/Bella Twins vs. Eve Torres/Kelly Kelly/Beth Phoenix/Gail Kim
Cole continues to try to be different tonight, saying Miz might have had that coming to him and praising the Divas, enjoying the chance to call the match. A Bella (announcers arent sure either) vs. Kelly to start. And heres Kharma maybe 10 seconds into it to a nice pop.
Beth rallies the troops to stare down Kharma who walks to the ring anyway. She climbs up to the apron and climbs in, not really focusing on anyone. The Divas surround her and its a weird staredown moment. Kharma sticks her arms out and her hands start shaking. She gets on her knees and something is censored out. Kharma starts crying with her lips quivering. Shes rocking back and forth a bit and shaking her head. Shes saying something but we cant hear it. We go to a break with her more or less having a breakdown in the middle of the ring.
Back and we see a clip of Kharmas breakdown again.
We get a clip of Extreme Rules where Kofi won the US Title back.
Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston
Non-Title here. Drew has a ton of pyro now. Drew is moving out there tonight as they have a very fast paced start but Kofi cant get over Drew on a leapfrog and Drew works on the knee. Figure Four on the post as this has been all Drew other than some nice speed moves by Kofi. Kofi kicks him off though and manages the Boom Drop on one good leg.
He cant even attempt Trouble in Paradise though and collapses, allowing Drew to get a kick to the chest for two. Drew tries a knee crusher which Kofi half counters into a rana position, only for Drew to powerbomb him down for a long two. Into the corner but Kofi pulls SOS out of nowhere for the surprise pin at 4:28. Vickie and Ziggler are shown watching. Dolph is blonde again.
We get a dream sequence of all three commentators imagining what would happen if President Obama had a press conference about Capitol Punishment. Theyve asked Congress, the Washington Nationals to the forest reserve to the PPV.
Nexus celebrates their win and Punk says watch what hes about to do. Main event is up next.
Alberto says he had nothing to do with Shows injury and blames Ricardo for it.
Its time for what a lot of people have been asking for all night: the Randy Savage tribute. A voiceover talks about how awesome his career was and how when everyone was being flamboyant he was better at it than anyone. Set to Pomp and Circumstance we talk about his matches with Hogan, the Mania 3 match, Slim Jim, the fans imitating him (but never being able to duplicate him).
A barrage of Savage promos set up a highlight reel set to a sad song about setting someone apart and being a shame to be apart. Theres a focus on his relationship with Liz and the clips are mostly from his face runs. Theyre showing things in sets here, such as his robes and then a bunch of shots of his elbows and finally the in memory graphic as he gets a standing ovation and a loud Macho Man chant. Very nicely done.
John Cena/Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth/CM Punk
Bret is referee here. Punk has pink tights with stars on them like Savage had at Mania 4 where he won his first WWF Title. Cena and Truth to start with Cena sending him to the floor as we take a break. Back with Punk in control, ramming in elbows in the corner. Cena speeds things up a bit and Punk hides behind Bret in a funny spot. Truth comes in and takes over on Cena with some basic stuff for two.
Back off to Punk and I cant help but smile at the tights. Punk hits Brets floatover Russian Legsweep and its the TWO MOVES OF DOOM! Suplex gets two and its off to Truth again who gets in Brets face. Punk adds a backbreaker but Cena reverses a Sharpshooter into an STF attempt. Punk loads him up for the GTS but Cena counters into a DDT and both guys are down.
Rey comes in and everything breaks down quickly. Cena falls down because of bad ribs and Truth shouts how do you like me now? Rey dropkicks Truth in the back and sets for the 619. Bret drills Punk and adds a Sharpshooter and Rey drops a dime on Punk's head for the pin at 9:48. Cena jumps in the air with a leap that would make Orton jealous.
Results
David Otunga/Michael McGillicutty b. Kane/Big Show Double DDT to Big Show
Jack Swagger b. Evan Bourne Gutwrench Powerbomb
Melina/Maryse/Bella Twins vs. Eve Torries/Kelly Kelly/Beth Phoenix/Gail Kim went to a no contest when Kharma interfered

Tuesday
Smackdown got a 1.9, back to normal.
Raw got a 3.4, up over the previous few weeks.
Kharma is going to be out NINE MONTHS for something and last night was them writing her off TV. That came out of nowhere.
NXT
Date: May 24, 2011
Location: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane, Washington
Commentators: Todd Grisham, William Regal
Its week like 12 or so but were FINALLY down to five people. Hopefully tonight well get the announcement that were going to go down to four in the near future. If nothing else its almost a guarantee that were going to get the Savage video again which is going to be more entertaining than anything else weve seen this entire season. Anyway there isnt much else to say so lets get to it.
Titus vs. Darren tonight, AGAIN. This time its No DQ though so its all ok right?
Heres Saxton to blame Yoshi for various faults he has and saying he doesnt need him anymore. Saxton declares independence from Yoshi and says hes now to be known as Big League Byron Saxton. Isnt that chewing gum? Anyway Maryse comes out in a dress shorter than her legs. She hosts this show, not him. Maryse introduces the show and says that tonight its Yoshi/Saxton vs. Kidd/Cannon. The second elimination is next week. YES!!!
Tyson Kidd/Lucky Cannon vs. Yoshi Tatsu/Byron Saxton
Yoshi is far more fired up this week than last and starts vs. Cannon here. Kidd comes in and the beatdown is on. Kidd gets sent down as we take a break. Back with Cannon hammering on Tatsu as apparently during the break Kidd injured Yoshis arm. Time for the arm work which makes sense here. Nice to see it making sense rather than just being thrown on in a vain attempt to look smart.
Cannon hammers away on the arm as theres a nice little story here of Saxton not coming in, which Id assume is going to be the final point of the match. Armbar goes on by Cannon as the fans cheer for Yoshi. Superplex attempt is blocked and Yoshi gets a top rope spinwheel kick to take both him and Lucky down. Yoshi STILL wont tag and its off to Kidd. Big kick gets two for Yoshi and Byron tags himself in, only to get grabbed into a Sharpshooter by Kidd for the tap as Yoshi wont help. Match ran 8:55.
Byron yells at Yoshi post match and gets his head kicked off.
Raw ReBound is about Big Show having his leg injured by Ricardo and Alberto. Thats an interesting story and Im curious as to where it goes.
We recap Young and Titus and Hornys situation over the last few weeks, namely Horny being adult with a beard that can speak at times but later lost the ability to for no apparent reason and lives under the ring in a town or something and is treated like a kid-napped. We see Young and Chavo beating on him and yeah, there it is. This is about bullying.
Chavo says hell be watching tonight and thats about it.
JTG vs. Conor OBrian
Regal is all ticked off that JTG is still here which is kind of funny. We take a break to shill Thats What I Am some more before OBrians entrance. We get a clip of the dance off from last week which Regal says reminds him of a night with Arn Anderson. I honestly do not want to know if I want to hear that story or not. JTG sends him to the floor after a brief run by OBrian started us off.
That more or less ends my level of interest in the match as OBrians lack of anything resembling interest or uniqueness or anything noteworthy at all. JTG takes over and Regal says he might have to eat some of his words. And of course OBrian rolls JTG up just a few seconds later and were done at 3:54.
JTG beats him down post match and Vlad makes the save.
Titus cant find Horny again but hes hiding in a travel bag. Darren and Chavo are bullies dont you know.
Ad for WWE All-Stars. Isnt that game like three months old?
Titus ONeil vs. Darren Young
No DQ here because even NXT gets that the same match four or five times in a season is stupid. Titus yells about being a bully the entire time to REALLY hammer the point home I guess. Modified abdominal stretch goes on as Titus hammers away. Gee a larger man picking on someone else because they dont like something about him. That couldnt POSSIBLY be considered bullying right?
Young gets a shot in as weve stayed in the ring the entire time so far. Horny is watching in the back as Titus sends Darren to the floor. Titus sends him into the post and table but thats it for the No DQ stuff because that stuff NEVER happens in a regular match right? Chavo interferes when the referee isnt looking because he couldnt do it when he was looking right? That takes us to a break.
Back with Young ramming Titus back into the ring and then his face into it as well. Its a matched set now I guess. Back in the ring now as this needs to end rather quickly. Titus makes his comeback and runs Darren over a few times, adding a shoulderbreaker for two. Chavo comes in, finally realizing its No DQ. Horny is watching in the back and freaks out when Chavo gets a chain. He puts a ninja bandana on as Chavo uses the chain. Heres Samurai Swoggle (I hate you Todd Grisham) who Titus uses as a battering ram. Clash of Titus sets up the Tadpole Splash for the pin at 8:22.
No Savage video. Are you kidding me?
Results
Tyson Kidd/Lucky Cannon b. Byron Saxton/Yoshi Tatsu Sharpshooter to Saxton
Conor OBrian b. JTG Small Package
Titus ONeil b. Darren Young Pin after a Tadpole Splash
Wednesday
Apparently Layla is having knee surgery and is going to be out for a very long time. The Divas are having some issues at the moment arent they?
Thursday
Impact Wrestling
Date: May 26, 2011
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tazz
Its the second week of Impact Wrestling and hopefully tonight well have a bit more actual wrestling rather than last week when there was as much on a regular episode of Impact. Anyway were also going to have some more advance in the Sting vs. Anderson feud as last week Anderson laid the champion out. Also if I remember right were going to get Hogan and Foley again tonight which is rather fun. Anyway, lets get to it.
An opening graphic says in memory of Randy Savage. Classy.
Sting talks about being champion and we get a clip of Anderson jumping him last week as the old Sting.
We actually start with a match, called a tag team competition by Christy.
Tommy Dreamer/Bully Ray vs. Christopher Daniels/AJ Styles
This is a street fight. Tonight theres going to be something called the Scorpion Sitdown which is Stings interview segment. AJ is still in a neckbrace so he can barely move here. This is a smaller one though and looks like a big pad. We start on the floor in a big brawl. Ray vs. Daniels is going on at ringside while Dreamer and AJ head into the crowd. AJ manages to throw Dreamer off a small balcony and dives on him to take out both guys. Daniels busts out some weapons in the ring and beats Ray down with them.
BME eats a boot as at least AJ is back at ringside. Rock Bottom gets two for Ray but he walks into a Pele. Dreamer is back in the ring also. The neck brace comes off as Immortal takes over. Neckbreaker hits for Ray and Dreamer adds one of his own. Daniels is still down so this is more or less open season on AJ. Daniels goes down again as they keep showing replays. Daniels gets back in time to break up a spike Piledriver and kills Ray with a kendo stick. Spike Piledriver with Daniels doing the spiking ends Dreamer at 5:00.
Hogan is here.
Time for the Scorpion Sitdown and its Anderson as Sting. Nothing like a talking segment on a WRESTLING show right? Anderson says that its a sitdown because hes too old to wrestle. Remember that hes talking as Sting. His guest: Disco Inferno. Hes a guy that was with Sting throughout WCW despite them never interacting that I remember. Disco doesnt get why hes here but hell tell Anderson the truth about Sting.
Anderson randomly shouts during Discos talk and Disco gets ticked off at him. Disco says that whether you liked Sting or not, he commanded respect. Everyone grew up loving him and thats all there is to it. Anderson gets all annoyed and says that Disco is here to bury Sting and thats the entire point. Disco wants to know why Anderson is a dick. He even says it into the mic and gets up. And theres a Mic to the head and a Mic Check to Disco. The real Sting comes off to run Anderson off.
Eric Young, still with the TV Title, goes into a bathroom and Gunner jumps him but Young has an idea. Young will lay down tonight and Gunner will get the TV Title belt back while Young will get his old world title back. Young leaves and Gunner calls him an idiot.
Velvet calls out ODB, saying shes got a little explaining to do. Well she looks better than Desi Arnaz. ODB comes out and says Velvet got her fired last year. Velvet says shes worked her way here and ODB says shes gotten here on her back. Since Velvet hasnt ever even been Knockouts Champion she must not be that good in the sack. ODB drills her and the beating is on. Velvet more or less runs and Velvet still doesnt get whats going on.
Video on RVD vs. Angle tonight which theyre trying to make seem like a huge level match.
Back from a break and we recap the ending to last weeks show with Roode having his arm destroyed by Immortal.
Beer Money is in Bischoffs office and the doctor says Roode is kind of iffy about being able to wrestle. They have a tag title match at Slammiversary and its 30 days for a defense so if the titles arent defended the belts will be stripped. Storm says its a torn pectoral so he wont be cleared in three weeks. Bischoff has to know by the end of next week and says he might appoint a replacement. Bischoff suggests that the Hillbilly Jesus (Storm) go get some manure and put it on Roodes arm to heal it. Storm threatens Bischoff and Bischoff says do it and youll never work again. The champs leave and thats that.
We actually get a clip from Xplosion where Pope hit on D-Vons wife and D-Von wasnt happy with it. Pope says D-Von needs to chill.
Angle is with Morgan in the back as I guess wrestling matters so much theyre afraid to have any of it in case it gets wasted. Angle says watch out for Karen.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Matt Morgan
I guess the competition thing is going to be a regular thing. Supposed to sound real perhaps? Karen is on crutches and looks very good in blue. Before the match Jeff grabs a chair to give Karen something to sit in. Earl doesnt like it and throws Karen out. Oh wait hes allowing Karen to sit but she has to sit at the end of the ramp. Jeff gets a thumb to the eye very early and hits a top rope cross body for two.
That goes nowhere and its time for the elbows in the corner to give Morgan control. Side slam gets two. Carbon Footprint misses in the corner and Jeff works on the leg. Fallaway Slam gets two as another cross body doesnt work. Karen comes down to ringside as Morgan gets a Michinoku Driver of all things for two.
And never mind as Karen gives him the crutch and a shot with that sets up the Stroke for only two. Thought that was the ending. Jeff jumps into a chokeslam but Morgan instead shifts into an atomic drop. Carbon Footprint hits but Karen hits Hebner in the knee with the crutch. Scott Steiner comes in and hits a Downward Spiral to Morgan and thats good for the pin at 3:06. Dang it I have to rate it.
We recap Foley being revealed as Network Executive and Bischoff going after the X-Division last week.
Bischoff is in the ring and is all smiley. Apparently Hogan had a great week with the network last week in New York as Bischoff predicted. Heres Hogan who is the leader of Impact Wrestling apparently. Hogan says that the Network has given him authority to run this show. Oh joy. He pitched a bunch of ideas to the executives so now they think hes a genius. Hogan wants to talk about Bischoff for a minute because hes proud of what Bischoff did to the X-Division.
Heres Foley who doesnt need an invitation apparently because hes a network executive. All Hogan did was tick the Network off apparently because after Hogan left, Foley explained that the X Division put it on the map and were going to expand it. Hes going to go around the world finding new X-Division talent for an Ultimate X match. Oh and Foley has power regarding PPV because they promote the PPVs. Wouldnt that give them control over all of the companies that advertise on Spike TV?
Hogan says Foley should do something for the X-Division tonight, like challenge for the X-Division Title. Bischoff gets WAY too excited about that but before Foley can answer heres Brian Kendrick and his X buddies. He talks in his poetic speak and more or less asks for Foleys title shot tonight. Theyre here to get rid of the reptilians that have acquired power apparently. This was very tedious to say the least.
Winter is rubbing Angelinas back and says that everything is about to change and theyre going to fulfill the promise they made to each other in another lifetime. I shutter to think where this is going to go.
Winter vs. Mickie James
Non-Title here. Tenay acknowledges that the Winter/Angelina thing goes back centuries, which makes me think this is going to get very stupid very fast. Northern Lights Suplex gets two for Winter as she takes over. Scratch that as Mickie gets a snapmare and a seated dropkick to set up a rana out of the corner. Flapjack sets up a nipup and after countering the spin out Rock Bottom Mickie hits the jumping DDT for the pin at 2:18. No rating due to shortness but this was just a step ahead of a squash.
Angelina destroys Mickie post match due to Winter having some blood on her chin.
Abyss says hes going to destroy Kendrick tonight. Hes reading Art of War again and has Janice with him. Someone with long hair that we cant see jump him. Oh its Kaz and he takes Janice with him.
X-Division Title: Brian Kendrick vs. Abyss
Abyss is all banged up due to the attack by Kaz. Kendrick dives through the ropes with a kick that kind of hits to get us going. Abyss charges into the steps and we go into the ring. Amazingly enough they actually reference Abyss being a former world champion and say hes the second Grand Slam winner. I havent heard them reference that reign in years.
Abyss takes over and crushes Kendrick in the corner with an avalanche. The beatdown commences but Kendrick counters a gorilla press slam and fires off some dropkicks. Missile dropkick puts him down for two. Brian goes up again but gets knocked off as Abyss hits the ropes. Black Hole Slam and were done at 4:13.
Abyss rants about the Art of War some more.
Same RVD vs. Angle video from earlier.
Angle says the main event is a big match.
TV Title: Eric Young vs. Gunner
Young has the title itself because Gunner stole back the wrong belt last week. I guess the whole one is black and one is red thing is too hard to keep track of. They reenact the Fingerpoke of Doom but Young rolls him up for the pin and the title at 32 seconds. Whatever man, whatever.
The Jarretts come out for the main event on commentary.
Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle
We also get big match intros to kill even more time. Jeff talks about how RVD is his handpicked opponent as RVD kicks Angle to the floor. RVD hammers away but walks into a suplex. A snap variety gets two for Kurt and we hit a reverse grip to waste some time. They majority of this match is spent on a split screen so we can see the Jarretts talk while the wrestlers lay around. RVD gets his top rope kick for two. Angle gets a slam and both guys go down.
Theres been more laying around in this match than actual wrestling. Ankle lock goes on and RVD is thinking about tapping. He kicks out of it but the Five Star misses. Angle Slam actually gets the fall on the first attempt at 7:36. Yes, this epic five star first time ever main event didnt even make it 8 minutes and is the longest match of the night so far. Give me a break.

Jeff Jarrett b. Matt Morgan Pin after a Downward Spiral from Scott Steiner

Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Josh Matthews
Were past Over the Limit and after another Cena torture porn movie hes still WWE Champion. Also Jerry Lawler finally got his revenge on Cole in a humiliating defeat. Tonight well start building towards Capitol Punishment in four weeks. It should be interesting to see where we go from here as it seems a lot of feuds wrapped up last night. Lets get to it.
An in memory of Randy Savage graphic opens us up.
Theme song hits.
Heres Lawler who says that the long national nightmare is over because Michael Cole has been beaten. He said he had an ace up his sleeve last night. Actually he had a Hart up his sleeve, and heres the Hitman! Bret says hes always respected Jerry over the years as a competitor despite not always seeing things the same way. He had no respect for Michael Cole though so he as glad to help him taste the agony of de-feet.
R-Truth of all people comes out to talk to Bret. He says Bret must be a 90 time WWE Champion and wants Bret to ask him how many championship matches hes had. That would be zero because he didnt care about the little Jimmys like Bret did. He asks if theres something he can give to the fans and asks to take Brets shades to give to the fans.
Truth finds a Little Jimmy in the front row and gives him the glasses. Im a good R-Truth now. Now he thinks he should be next in line for a WWE Championship match but he isnt. Truth takes the glasses back and goes to see Bret again. Its about wins and losses, not giving the fans what they want. He put out John Morrison and he beat Rey last night but now he needs to beat on a Hall of Famer.
Bret says go ahead and try it but he got championship matches because hes the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Truth doesnt get championship matches because hes a freaking lunatic. Truth doesnt like that but heres Cena before we see what he says next. Cena limps out and is clearly in pain. Its a mostly pro-Cena crowd tonight.
Cena chats with Bret for a bit and now its time to talk to the resident lunatic. Cena says he and Truth used to be cool but now he lost his mind. Truth: Used to? Used to is a rooster from Brewster. Well ok then. This thing Truth has been on is all about Cena apparently. The people make it all about him. Cena says that Truth is wrong and that he makes it all about the people.
Truth says that its all about Cena and how he has to get the Cena shirt, the Cena wristbands, go see the new Cena movie, HE WANTS HIS SON BACK! Its all about him now and he isnt going to feel right until he gets his WWE Title match. Cena says hes a bit broken up from last night but its about time someone knocked some sense into Truth. An E-Mail stops that though because the GM isnt sure about Truth. The main event is Truth/Punk vs. Rey/Cena with Bret as referee. Bret gives the kid the sunglasses in a nice touch.
Show and Kane are sitting on a nice car and Show says that theyre going to be in a pack tonight, I think talking about Nexus. Ricardo comes up and yells in Spanish so Show shoves him down. Alberto comes up and yells in Spanish too. The big guys actually leave as Alberto rambles more in Spanish.
Tag Titles: Big Show/Kane vs. David Otunga/Michael McGillicutty
I dont get why these two didnt have the tag title shot last night since they won last week. Punk has boots up to his thighs that are white/yellow and look a bit odd. He sits in on commentary here. Kane and Otunga start us off and David heads to the floor to avoids a seated dropkick. A small chase starts but Otunga misses an elbow drop as Kane fakes him out.
Show comes in to a big pop and heres Michael as well. Show sends him to the floor with ease as we take a break. Back with Nexus working over Kane as Punk says he doesnt care which Nexus team wins the titles. Orunga gets a neckbreaker on Kane for two. Show comes in soon thereafter and the beatdown is on. Punk talks about how everything is going to be ok and Ryan tries to come in. Kane takes him down but Punk says he has faith and kicks Show in the head. A double DDT to Show and we have new champions at 8:54 total.
Back with a video of Orton at a Wal-Mart signing Thats What I Am DVDs. Not as bad a movie as I was expecting even though he was in it less than five minutes.
Big Show and Kane are asked about frustration and Show is all ticked off. Alberto for some reason Slaps him in the face and runs off. The camera goes down and when we find them Albertos car is on Shows leg! Kane shouts at everyone and Ricardo backs the car off. Show screams a lot as medics arrive. Show tries to get up but falls right back down.
Back and Big Show still tries to stand, this time getting over to something to lean on. He wont sit on a stretcher and looks like hes going to try to walk it off.
Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne
Swagger misses a shot in the corner and Bourne snaps off a rana. And there goes that momentum as he runs into a big boot as Swagger takes over. Off to an armbar but the Vader Bomb misses. Bourne gets some kicks in but cant get anywhere with it. One is caught into an ankle lock but Bourne gets out again. Another rana attempts is reversed into a HUGE gutwrecnch powerbomb to end this at 2:10. That impact was awesome.
Post match Bourne is up already and gets a kick to the head of Swagger to send him to the floor in a heap.
Cole is walking around in the back and walks past the Divas, offering Eve a handshake. She sticks her foot in his face instead. Hes up next.
Rocks new movie has done incredibly well.
Heres Cole and he asks for our attention but then says he doesnt deserve it. He wants to apologize to everyone from Jerry to Matthews to Justin Roberts to Mark Yeaton to the fans in Portland to the people all over the WWE Universe. He just wants to come home and do commentary on Raw. He wants to come back with no Cole Mine and no more matches but just one more chance.
Jerry says thanks for that and thanks for giving him a picture for this years Christmas card, which is Cole having Jerrys foot in his mouth. The fans keep chanting You Suck Toes. Jerry also hands him a box of Altoids which Cole accepts. They offer him a chair but heres Miz as Cole sits down.
Miz says there is only one reason why he didnt win the WWE Championship last night, and that reason is Alex Riley. This isnt the first time Riley has failed either as he wasnt at the steel cage match, he cost Miz the title three weeks ago because they dropped the belt and then last night he had the cell phone fall on the ground. Miz wants one more chance at Cena in a one on one match with Alex Riley barred from ringside. He isnt going to leave the ring until he gets an answer either.
Theres an E-Mail and the GM denies the request. Miz is done with Cena because he lost against last night. Riley points out that it wasnt him that quit and Miz slaps him. Miz goes off on Riley and fires him and the fight is on! Riley is destroying Miz, ripping the clothes off of him and throwing him onto the announce table. Riley beats Miz up and we actually get a big Riley chant! Miz is almost out. Riley leaves Miz laying in the middle of the ring in one of the better face turns Ive seen in a good while.
Melina/Maryse/Bella Twins vs. Eve Torres/Kelly Kelly/Beth Phoenix/Gail Kim
Cole continues to try to be different tonight, saying Miz might have had that coming to him and praising the Divas, enjoying the chance to call the match. A Bella (announcers arent sure either) vs. Kelly to start. And heres Kharma maybe 10 seconds into it to a nice pop.
Beth rallies the troops to stare down Kharma who walks to the ring anyway. She climbs up to the apron and climbs in, not really focusing on anyone. The Divas surround her and its a weird staredown moment. Kharma sticks her arms out and her hands start shaking. She gets on her knees and something is censored out. Kharma starts crying with her lips quivering. Shes rocking back and forth a bit and shaking her head. Shes saying something but we cant hear it. We go to a break with her more or less having a breakdown in the middle of the ring.
Back and we see a clip of Kharmas breakdown again.
We get a clip of Extreme Rules where Kofi won the US Title back.
Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston
Non-Title here. Drew has a ton of pyro now. Drew is moving out there tonight as they have a very fast paced start but Kofi cant get over Drew on a leapfrog and Drew works on the knee. Figure Four on the post as this has been all Drew other than some nice speed moves by Kofi. Kofi kicks him off though and manages the Boom Drop on one good leg.
He cant even attempt Trouble in Paradise though and collapses, allowing Drew to get a kick to the chest for two. Drew tries a knee crusher which Kofi half counters into a rana position, only for Drew to powerbomb him down for a long two. Into the corner but Kofi pulls SOS out of nowhere for the surprise pin at 4:28. Vickie and Ziggler are shown watching. Dolph is blonde again.
We get a dream sequence of all three commentators imagining what would happen if President Obama had a press conference about Capitol Punishment. Theyve asked Congress, the Washington Nationals to the forest reserve to the PPV.
Nexus celebrates their win and Punk says watch what hes about to do. Main event is up next.
Alberto says he had nothing to do with Shows injury and blames Ricardo for it.
Its time for what a lot of people have been asking for all night: the Randy Savage tribute. A voiceover talks about how awesome his career was and how when everyone was being flamboyant he was better at it than anyone. Set to Pomp and Circumstance we talk about his matches with Hogan, the Mania 3 match, Slim Jim, the fans imitating him (but never being able to duplicate him).
A barrage of Savage promos set up a highlight reel set to a sad song about setting someone apart and being a shame to be apart. Theres a focus on his relationship with Liz and the clips are mostly from his face runs. Theyre showing things in sets here, such as his robes and then a bunch of shots of his elbows and finally the in memory graphic as he gets a standing ovation and a loud Macho Man chant. Very nicely done.
John Cena/Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth/CM Punk
Bret is referee here. Punk has pink tights with stars on them like Savage had at Mania 4 where he won his first WWF Title. Cena and Truth to start with Cena sending him to the floor as we take a break. Back with Punk in control, ramming in elbows in the corner. Cena speeds things up a bit and Punk hides behind Bret in a funny spot. Truth comes in and takes over on Cena with some basic stuff for two.
Back off to Punk and I cant help but smile at the tights. Punk hits Brets floatover Russian Legsweep and its the TWO MOVES OF DOOM! Suplex gets two and its off to Truth again who gets in Brets face. Punk adds a backbreaker but Cena reverses a Sharpshooter into an STF attempt. Punk loads him up for the GTS but Cena counters into a DDT and both guys are down.
Rey comes in and everything breaks down quickly. Cena falls down because of bad ribs and Truth shouts how do you like me now? Rey dropkicks Truth in the back and sets for the 619. Bret drills Punk and adds a Sharpshooter and Rey drops a dime on Punk's head for the pin at 9:48. Cena jumps in the air with a leap that would make Orton jealous.

NXT
Date: May 24, 2011
Location: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane, Washington
Commentators: Todd Grisham, William Regal
Its week like 12 or so but were FINALLY down to five people. Hopefully tonight well get the announcement that were going to go down to four in the near future. If nothing else its almost a guarantee that were going to get the Savage video again which is going to be more entertaining than anything else weve seen this entire season. Anyway there isnt much else to say so lets get to it.
Titus vs. Darren tonight, AGAIN. This time its No DQ though so its all ok right?
Heres Saxton to blame Yoshi for various faults he has and saying he doesnt need him anymore. Saxton declares independence from Yoshi and says hes now to be known as Big League Byron Saxton. Isnt that chewing gum? Anyway Maryse comes out in a dress shorter than her legs. She hosts this show, not him. Maryse introduces the show and says that tonight its Yoshi/Saxton vs. Kidd/Cannon. The second elimination is next week. YES!!!
Tyson Kidd/Lucky Cannon vs. Yoshi Tatsu/Byron Saxton
Yoshi is far more fired up this week than last and starts vs. Cannon here. Kidd comes in and the beatdown is on. Kidd gets sent down as we take a break. Back with Cannon hammering on Tatsu as apparently during the break Kidd injured Yoshis arm. Time for the arm work which makes sense here. Nice to see it making sense rather than just being thrown on in a vain attempt to look smart.
Cannon hammers away on the arm as theres a nice little story here of Saxton not coming in, which Id assume is going to be the final point of the match. Armbar goes on by Cannon as the fans cheer for Yoshi. Superplex attempt is blocked and Yoshi gets a top rope spinwheel kick to take both him and Lucky down. Yoshi STILL wont tag and its off to Kidd. Big kick gets two for Yoshi and Byron tags himself in, only to get grabbed into a Sharpshooter by Kidd for the tap as Yoshi wont help. Match ran 8:55.
Byron yells at Yoshi post match and gets his head kicked off.
Raw ReBound is about Big Show having his leg injured by Ricardo and Alberto. Thats an interesting story and Im curious as to where it goes.
We recap Young and Titus and Hornys situation over the last few weeks, namely Horny being adult with a beard that can speak at times but later lost the ability to for no apparent reason and lives under the ring in a town or something and is treated like a kid-napped. We see Young and Chavo beating on him and yeah, there it is. This is about bullying.
Chavo says hell be watching tonight and thats about it.
JTG vs. Conor OBrian
Regal is all ticked off that JTG is still here which is kind of funny. We take a break to shill Thats What I Am some more before OBrians entrance. We get a clip of the dance off from last week which Regal says reminds him of a night with Arn Anderson. I honestly do not want to know if I want to hear that story or not. JTG sends him to the floor after a brief run by OBrian started us off.
That more or less ends my level of interest in the match as OBrians lack of anything resembling interest or uniqueness or anything noteworthy at all. JTG takes over and Regal says he might have to eat some of his words. And of course OBrian rolls JTG up just a few seconds later and were done at 3:54.
JTG beats him down post match and Vlad makes the save.
Titus cant find Horny again but hes hiding in a travel bag. Darren and Chavo are bullies dont you know.
Ad for WWE All-Stars. Isnt that game like three months old?
Titus ONeil vs. Darren Young
No DQ here because even NXT gets that the same match four or five times in a season is stupid. Titus yells about being a bully the entire time to REALLY hammer the point home I guess. Modified abdominal stretch goes on as Titus hammers away. Gee a larger man picking on someone else because they dont like something about him. That couldnt POSSIBLY be considered bullying right?
Young gets a shot in as weve stayed in the ring the entire time so far. Horny is watching in the back as Titus sends Darren to the floor. Titus sends him into the post and table but thats it for the No DQ stuff because that stuff NEVER happens in a regular match right? Chavo interferes when the referee isnt looking because he couldnt do it when he was looking right? That takes us to a break.
Back with Young ramming Titus back into the ring and then his face into it as well. Its a matched set now I guess. Back in the ring now as this needs to end rather quickly. Titus makes his comeback and runs Darren over a few times, adding a shoulderbreaker for two. Chavo comes in, finally realizing its No DQ. Horny is watching in the back and freaks out when Chavo gets a chain. He puts a ninja bandana on as Chavo uses the chain. Heres Samurai Swoggle (I hate you Todd Grisham) who Titus uses as a battering ram. Clash of Titus sets up the Tadpole Splash for the pin at 8:22.
No Savage video. Are you kidding me?

Wednesday
Apparently Layla is having knee surgery and is going to be out for a very long time. The Divas are having some issues at the moment arent they?
Thursday
Impact Wrestling
Date: May 26, 2011
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tazz
Its the second week of Impact Wrestling and hopefully tonight well have a bit more actual wrestling rather than last week when there was as much on a regular episode of Impact. Anyway were also going to have some more advance in the Sting vs. Anderson feud as last week Anderson laid the champion out. Also if I remember right were going to get Hogan and Foley again tonight which is rather fun. Anyway, lets get to it.
An opening graphic says in memory of Randy Savage. Classy.
Sting talks about being champion and we get a clip of Anderson jumping him last week as the old Sting.
We actually start with a match, called a tag team competition by Christy.
Tommy Dreamer/Bully Ray vs. Christopher Daniels/AJ Styles
This is a street fight. Tonight theres going to be something called the Scorpion Sitdown which is Stings interview segment. AJ is still in a neckbrace so he can barely move here. This is a smaller one though and looks like a big pad. We start on the floor in a big brawl. Ray vs. Daniels is going on at ringside while Dreamer and AJ head into the crowd. AJ manages to throw Dreamer off a small balcony and dives on him to take out both guys. Daniels busts out some weapons in the ring and beats Ray down with them.
BME eats a boot as at least AJ is back at ringside. Rock Bottom gets two for Ray but he walks into a Pele. Dreamer is back in the ring also. The neck brace comes off as Immortal takes over. Neckbreaker hits for Ray and Dreamer adds one of his own. Daniels is still down so this is more or less open season on AJ. Daniels goes down again as they keep showing replays. Daniels gets back in time to break up a spike Piledriver and kills Ray with a kendo stick. Spike Piledriver with Daniels doing the spiking ends Dreamer at 5:00.
Hogan is here.
Time for the Scorpion Sitdown and its Anderson as Sting. Nothing like a talking segment on a WRESTLING show right? Anderson says that its a sitdown because hes too old to wrestle. Remember that hes talking as Sting. His guest: Disco Inferno. Hes a guy that was with Sting throughout WCW despite them never interacting that I remember. Disco doesnt get why hes here but hell tell Anderson the truth about Sting.
Anderson randomly shouts during Discos talk and Disco gets ticked off at him. Disco says that whether you liked Sting or not, he commanded respect. Everyone grew up loving him and thats all there is to it. Anderson gets all annoyed and says that Disco is here to bury Sting and thats the entire point. Disco wants to know why Anderson is a dick. He even says it into the mic and gets up. And theres a Mic to the head and a Mic Check to Disco. The real Sting comes off to run Anderson off.
Eric Young, still with the TV Title, goes into a bathroom and Gunner jumps him but Young has an idea. Young will lay down tonight and Gunner will get the TV Title belt back while Young will get his old world title back. Young leaves and Gunner calls him an idiot.
Velvet calls out ODB, saying shes got a little explaining to do. Well she looks better than Desi Arnaz. ODB comes out and says Velvet got her fired last year. Velvet says shes worked her way here and ODB says shes gotten here on her back. Since Velvet hasnt ever even been Knockouts Champion she must not be that good in the sack. ODB drills her and the beating is on. Velvet more or less runs and Velvet still doesnt get whats going on.
Video on RVD vs. Angle tonight which theyre trying to make seem like a huge level match.
Back from a break and we recap the ending to last weeks show with Roode having his arm destroyed by Immortal.
Beer Money is in Bischoffs office and the doctor says Roode is kind of iffy about being able to wrestle. They have a tag title match at Slammiversary and its 30 days for a defense so if the titles arent defended the belts will be stripped. Storm says its a torn pectoral so he wont be cleared in three weeks. Bischoff has to know by the end of next week and says he might appoint a replacement. Bischoff suggests that the Hillbilly Jesus (Storm) go get some manure and put it on Roodes arm to heal it. Storm threatens Bischoff and Bischoff says do it and youll never work again. The champs leave and thats that.
We actually get a clip from Xplosion where Pope hit on D-Vons wife and D-Von wasnt happy with it. Pope says D-Von needs to chill.
Angle is with Morgan in the back as I guess wrestling matters so much theyre afraid to have any of it in case it gets wasted. Angle says watch out for Karen.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Matt Morgan
I guess the competition thing is going to be a regular thing. Supposed to sound real perhaps? Karen is on crutches and looks very good in blue. Before the match Jeff grabs a chair to give Karen something to sit in. Earl doesnt like it and throws Karen out. Oh wait hes allowing Karen to sit but she has to sit at the end of the ramp. Jeff gets a thumb to the eye very early and hits a top rope cross body for two.
That goes nowhere and its time for the elbows in the corner to give Morgan control. Side slam gets two. Carbon Footprint misses in the corner and Jeff works on the leg. Fallaway Slam gets two as another cross body doesnt work. Karen comes down to ringside as Morgan gets a Michinoku Driver of all things for two.
And never mind as Karen gives him the crutch and a shot with that sets up the Stroke for only two. Thought that was the ending. Jeff jumps into a chokeslam but Morgan instead shifts into an atomic drop. Carbon Footprint hits but Karen hits Hebner in the knee with the crutch. Scott Steiner comes in and hits a Downward Spiral to Morgan and thats good for the pin at 3:06. Dang it I have to rate it.
We recap Foley being revealed as Network Executive and Bischoff going after the X-Division last week.
Bischoff is in the ring and is all smiley. Apparently Hogan had a great week with the network last week in New York as Bischoff predicted. Heres Hogan who is the leader of Impact Wrestling apparently. Hogan says that the Network has given him authority to run this show. Oh joy. He pitched a bunch of ideas to the executives so now they think hes a genius. Hogan wants to talk about Bischoff for a minute because hes proud of what Bischoff did to the X-Division.
Heres Foley who doesnt need an invitation apparently because hes a network executive. All Hogan did was tick the Network off apparently because after Hogan left, Foley explained that the X Division put it on the map and were going to expand it. Hes going to go around the world finding new X-Division talent for an Ultimate X match. Oh and Foley has power regarding PPV because they promote the PPVs. Wouldnt that give them control over all of the companies that advertise on Spike TV?
Hogan says Foley should do something for the X-Division tonight, like challenge for the X-Division Title. Bischoff gets WAY too excited about that but before Foley can answer heres Brian Kendrick and his X buddies. He talks in his poetic speak and more or less asks for Foleys title shot tonight. Theyre here to get rid of the reptilians that have acquired power apparently. This was very tedious to say the least.
Winter is rubbing Angelinas back and says that everything is about to change and theyre going to fulfill the promise they made to each other in another lifetime. I shutter to think where this is going to go.
Winter vs. Mickie James
Non-Title here. Tenay acknowledges that the Winter/Angelina thing goes back centuries, which makes me think this is going to get very stupid very fast. Northern Lights Suplex gets two for Winter as she takes over. Scratch that as Mickie gets a snapmare and a seated dropkick to set up a rana out of the corner. Flapjack sets up a nipup and after countering the spin out Rock Bottom Mickie hits the jumping DDT for the pin at 2:18. No rating due to shortness but this was just a step ahead of a squash.
Angelina destroys Mickie post match due to Winter having some blood on her chin.
Abyss says hes going to destroy Kendrick tonight. Hes reading Art of War again and has Janice with him. Someone with long hair that we cant see jump him. Oh its Kaz and he takes Janice with him.
X-Division Title: Brian Kendrick vs. Abyss
Abyss is all banged up due to the attack by Kaz. Kendrick dives through the ropes with a kick that kind of hits to get us going. Abyss charges into the steps and we go into the ring. Amazingly enough they actually reference Abyss being a former world champion and say hes the second Grand Slam winner. I havent heard them reference that reign in years.
Abyss takes over and crushes Kendrick in the corner with an avalanche. The beatdown commences but Kendrick counters a gorilla press slam and fires off some dropkicks. Missile dropkick puts him down for two. Brian goes up again but gets knocked off as Abyss hits the ropes. Black Hole Slam and were done at 4:13.
Abyss rants about the Art of War some more.
Same RVD vs. Angle video from earlier.
Angle says the main event is a big match.
TV Title: Eric Young vs. Gunner
Young has the title itself because Gunner stole back the wrong belt last week. I guess the whole one is black and one is red thing is too hard to keep track of. They reenact the Fingerpoke of Doom but Young rolls him up for the pin and the title at 32 seconds. Whatever man, whatever.
The Jarretts come out for the main event on commentary.
Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle
We also get big match intros to kill even more time. Jeff talks about how RVD is his handpicked opponent as RVD kicks Angle to the floor. RVD hammers away but walks into a suplex. A snap variety gets two for Kurt and we hit a reverse grip to waste some time. They majority of this match is spent on a split screen so we can see the Jarretts talk while the wrestlers lay around. RVD gets his top rope kick for two. Angle gets a slam and both guys go down.
Theres been more laying around in this match than actual wrestling. Ankle lock goes on and RVD is thinking about tapping. He kicks out of it but the Five Star misses. Angle Slam actually gets the fall on the first attempt at 7:36. Yes, this epic five star first time ever main event didnt even make it 8 minutes and is the longest match of the night so far. Give me a break.
