PAY-PER-VIEW NEWS: Survivor Series, WrestleMania, Royal Rumble & Elimination Chamber
- For those of you who watched the Survivor Series on pay-per-view on Sunday, you may have noticed a fan holding up a "Where's Carlito?" sign during the Triple Threat match for the Smackdown Heavyweight Championship. That was, in fact, Daniel Pena from www.PWPIX.NET holding up the sign, as he managed to have it shown on camera for several moments, before it was quickly confiscated by the fellow wearing the headset that evening. Pena brought the sign, knowing full well it would likely be confiscated by WWE personnel, even though he's still "technically" a member of the WWE roster. In fact, Daniel was hoping it would be confiscated, so WWE could perhaps confirm suspicions regarding Carlito Caribbean Cool's status with the company, considering he hasn't been seen on television in several weeks, for reasons that have yet to be publicly disclosed.

- The Undertaker versus Chris Jericho was discussed for Wrestlemania 26, in the event that Edge's unable to return in time for a match with Y2J.

- Adversely, it's also looking like WWE's going through with plans to have the Dead Man against John Cena @ the big event. The groundwork for the potential match was set on this past Monday's RAW, when the Doctor of Thuganomics received a 'Tombstone' Elevate dPiledriver after the 3-Way Tag Team main event match had ended.

- According to Mike Johnson, there's talk of having Batista challenge 'Taker @ the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. There's also been discussion about giving the Altered Beast the belt heading into 'Mania.

- On the Scottrade Center website, WWE will hold their Elimination Chamber pay-per-view @ the venue on Sunday, February 21st. Tickets are priced @ $175, $80, $60, $40 & $20

- WWE’s official stance on the rumour that WrestleMania 28 will be held in Toronto, Ontario in 2012's that a decision hasn't been made, but Toronto's a strong contender. “We’ve requested & received several bids from cities in North America & I believe Toronto's definitely 1 of those,” said WWE executive Robert Zimmerman to the Toronto Sun. “As far as a decision on Wrestlemania 2012, I don’t believe there's any decision that’s been made.” WWE would be hosting the event @ the now-geriactric Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome), which hosted WrestleManias 6 & 18, as opposed to the Air Canada Center, a newer facility that's actually connected to Union Station & the TTC, Toronto's mass-transit systen, for ease of Ontario fans to get to the event. A representative for the building wouldn't confirm to the Sun that they're the leading contender to host a future 'Mania. The other top contenders are Miami, Florida & Atlanta, Goergia. WWE has also not announced a decision on WrestleMania 27 in 2011.

WWE NEWS: Ziggler, Mysterio, Punk, Graham, Tribute to the Troops & Jeff Hardy?!
- WWE Hall-of-Famer Jim Ross updated his blog & you can read the latest posting @ www.jrsbarbq.com

- For those keeping track, Dolph Ziggler has taken part in 26 Intercontinental title matches @ various events (televised & non-televised) within the past few months, losing all but 2. He won 1 match via count-out, with another match being ruled a double count-out. Furthermore, he's come up short in retrieving the title on television on 7 different occasions, including Night of Champions, SummerSlam, Hell in the Cell & 4 separate episodes of Friday Night SmackDown! Ziggler was @ 1 point scheduled to win the title from Rey Mysterio Junior over the summer, but the high-flying Superstar vetoed dropping the title to him on more than 1 occasion. When push came to shove, as a result of a 30-day suspension for violating the company's drug testing policy in early September, Mysterio agreed to drop the title to John Morrison. Now it appears that the ship has sailed on Dolph nabbing the gold, as WWE officials have reportedly "given up on him." On a related noted, Ziggler was voted the "Most Deserving of a Title Shot" among his peers in the "Superstar Survey" taken for the latest issue of WWE Magazine. For those unaware, Dolph Ziggler & ECWWE Diva Nikki Bella are dating again, although they actually have been together for a while. Is that why he broke up with Maria Kanellis? . . .

- As previously reported, Rey Mysterio Junior's knee's in bad shape & the former Smackdown "Heavyweight" champion will need surgery to repair the situation. The beatdown he suffered @ the hands of Dave "The Animal" Batista following their match @ Survivor Series was done to set up his time away from the ring. While there was talk that he'd undergo an extensive surgery to fully repair the ACL, Mysterio's now said to be considering a less invasive procedure on his ACL that would allow him to return sooner than later. The more invasive procedure would have kept him out of action for upto 9 months & he'd have missed WrestleMania 26. While this other surgery he's considering will allow him to return @ the Royal Rumble, he'll still need major surgery down the road, likely after he retires. Rey-Rey did appear @ a scheduled book signing on the night of the 23rd, in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The signing drew around 500 fans & the Biggest Little Man was said to not be selling the injury in any way.

- In other Biggest Little Man news, the 1st time "Innovator of Extreme" Tommy Dreamer set eyes on Mysterio, he wanted to take him out on a date. Rey-Rey joined Paul Heyman's cult wrestling group Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1995 & @ 1st, Tommy thought the future Samckdown "Heavwyeight" champion was a GIRL. In the 2nd exclusive SunSport extract from Rey's autobiography, the star writes: "I almost had a date with Dreamer. Or so the story goes. The version I heard runs like this. Early on, I was riding in an elevator with Paul E. I hadn't been introduced to most of the guys yet. Tommy Dreamer saw us get out, gave Paul E a puzzled look, then turned away as we walked on. Later on, he went over to Paul E & asked: 'Hey, who was that chick you were with? She looked hot. A little flat-chested, but hey.' He lost interest real fast when he found it was me. It's a good thing he told Paul E. The boys would've set us up for a date, then hidden around the corner to see what happened. That's the boys."

- As seen in recent weeks, CM Punk's taken a lesser role on Friday Night SmackDown, since dropping the Heavyweight Championship to UnderTaker @ last month's Hell in the Cell pay-per-view, instead being placed in a program with perennial mid-card performer "R~Truth" Ron Killings, after months of top-level feuds. While it would appear that he's been demoted, the company's looking to have him assist R~Truth for the time being, by putting him over, in hope that he reaches main event level status.

- WWE Hall of Famer "Superstar" Billy Graham, 66, was hospitalized this past week, with intestinal problems.

- WWE talent were recently notified that the annual Tribute to the Troops special will be taped in the Middle East, following the November 30th RAW in Baltimore, Maryland. Highlights will air on NBC on December 19th, as a 1-hour special. Due to the travel schedule, Smackdown/ECWWE TV will be taped this coming Sunday in Hampton, Virginia.

- WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan continues to make media appearances in Australia, promoting the ongoing "Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin" tour & was very outspoken about writers in pro wrestling during an interview with SportFM in Perth, Australia. “In TNA, I’m going to listen to those fans & give them what they want. I’m not going to keep shoving a bunch of terrible, horrible, stale programming down their throats. (In TNA), I’m going to take the writers & tell them, ‘Go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we’ll use you for that.’” Hogan repeated the claim that he’s coming in to “run” TNA & answered a question about whether he’ll wrestle for them. “I’m going back to the United States to run that company ~ TNA. I’m going to be on-camera, I’m going to be behind-the-scenes taking care of business in the back & if the fans scream & shout loud enough, I might even lace up the boots up, brothers, but I’m not planning on doing that. I’m planning on taking that company & turning it into the #1 promotion in the business. When I leave here, that’s the mission I’m on.” The Hulkster claims to have a financial stake in TNA, which will motivate him to do what’s best for the company. “I signed a deal with Dixie Carter to come in as her partner. I know there are several people on the show ~ storyline-wise ~ who say they are part of TNA (management) such as {Executive Sahreholder} Mick Foley & {TNA Owner} Jeff Jarrett, but this thing's for real.” To listen to the full interview, check it out here

Bischoff has stayed relatively quiet since the announcement of Hulk Hogan signing with TNA & how his BHE TV company agreed to a deal with Spike TV in partnership with TNA. He did write on his TWitter page the days following the Hogan announcement, "Getting a real kick out of all the speculation & 'inside knowledge' being spread in the internet. . . pretty funny."

- This just in from Jake "The Snake" Roberts' MySpace page: "The problem with news is those that write it & the lack of honesty & time exploring the truth. Unfortunately, those who do the news, seldom check what they're doing, by comparing it to the truth. After all, no penalties exist for those who are writing.  The penalty's dealt to those that they write about.  The damage's done, regardless of the truth & this really stinks. I have a theory & it's really simple.  If those reporting were held accountable for their mistakes, ½-truths & lies, the world would be in dire need of reporters & possibly start getting bonafide news, that would really be worth reading. Don't take this wrong, but if this offends you, chances are it should." Read more here

in the Celebrity Guest Host's office, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper reminisces about his past conquests, when WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho saunters in, balking @ the coconuts & the fire extinguishers & the giant portraits of the Hot Rod, when in actuality there should be a giant portrait of Y2J there, as with other Celebrity Guest Hosts, Piper's giving him nothing but disrespect; oh, the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah wants disrespect, does he? . . .  well, let's discuss that Muppet hairdo, shall we? . . .  or maybe he should just call out "Masterpiece" Chris Masters to make his pecs dance to some Black Eyed Peas? . . .  yeah, it's been great talking to the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions, but the WWE Hall of Famer has some other pressing business to tend to

DID YOU KNOW. . . the WWE Superstars just completed a 22-show, 2-week tour of Europe, performing in front of over 170,000 people! . . . ; betcha "30 Rock" star Judah Friedlander knew that, as he hobbles to the ring to be the special guest ring announcer for the following match; when Alicia Fox demands that Friedlander announce her as the next Divas champion, he declines, as he only came here for 2 reasons ~ 1, to see Melina Perez's entrance, which was very nice. . .  & 2, to announce that the upcoming match's now a Lumberjills match, featuring the other competitors in the 5-on-5 Survivor Series Single-Elimination match, which pits Team Mickie against Team Michelle; RAW 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT, LUMBERJILL, DIVAS TITLE MATCH: champion Melina Perez defeats Alicia Fox with a 'Last Call' Flipping Sitout Powerbomb {PSYCHOLOGY: same idea here, as for the match featuring United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin defending his title @ the beginning of the show}; after the match, all 10 Divas enter the ring for the world's largest catfight, inspiring premature puberty in a lucky handful of males in the audience; after this little scuffle, the good girls are left with Judah, who shows off his World Champion karate skills with some sad-looking kicks & punches

Celebrity Guest Host, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, saunters down to the ring, where he parades around that still-cool-looking leather jacket, then proclaims that he loves all the RAW Universers here in Madison Square Garden, when he can get a standing ovation like that, it's all because of them; things have changed, but if this camera man stands in his face like that all night, Hot Rod's gonna kick him in his slacks. . .  but anyway, he made his career on not being so nice, only New Yorkers would put up with that, right here in this ring; he's a New York orphan child, he had his 1st 2 kids right here & while he mightn't've done everything right. . .  he did a fairly good job of embarrassing Cyndi Lauper, even though she didn't look like she needed that much help embarrassing herself; Hot Rod took on 1 of the biggest legends of the ring ~ Captain Lou Albano, Bruno Sammartino, inaugural WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan & this is proof, if you mess with Piper, you end up either bald or dead {yeah, he went there, but that's because he loves them all. . .  more the dead 1s than the bald 1s, admittedly!}; Piper gets in so much trouble all the time, he's done some unspeakable things here in MSG & he loved ever minute of it, but he has 1 more dirty, rotten, nasty job to do, before he checks out with the rest of them ~ he wants 1 more match, with WWE Owner Vincent Kennedy McMahon & he knows that Vinnie-Mac's a big fan of his, because when Hot Rod did "Real Sports" with Bryant Gumble, the McMahonopolizer was watching & he fired the WWE Hall of Famer right here in this ring; so Hot Rod knows that Vince has a soft spot in his heart for the Garden & a hard spot in his wallet, so he should powerwalk out here to the ring to give the RAW Universe what they want no sooner said than done, as McMahon pinstripe-suits to the ring, where he compliments Hot Rod on the nice dye job on his hair, then admits that the most heinous thing that Piper's done here in the Garden's show up here tonight; Mother Nature hasn't been too good to the WWE Hall of Famer, when was the last time he had a 100,000 mile checkup; some things haven't changed ~ Piper still has those toothpick arms, spindly little legs & knobby little knees, as well as that catcher's mitt face, but the only thing that hasn't dried up & withered away was Hot Rod's kilt; if Vinnie-Mac were to dirty his hands by taking on the WWE Hall of Famer, then his father & grandfather would be humiliated; there are plenty of things for people to be ashamed of the McMahonopolizer for, like that suit that Mister Gotti clearly bought for him, it matches the grey in his hair. . . well, @ least he doesn't feel like he has to dye it, Father Time everybody; the WWE Owner has people come up to him on a regular basis, declaring that they hope that they can look even ½ as good as he does, when they're his age. . .  to which Vince responds that they don't look as good as he does now & that goes for anybody back there in the locker room, as well as anybody whose ever stepped into the ring with him over the years {the Rock, HHH, 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Smackdown Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker, 2009 WWE Hall of Famer StoneCold Steve Austin} he's always looked better than all of them & he's beaten them all. . .  so unless there's some better competition somewhere down the road, it's McMahon's sad duty to in form Hot Rod that he's officially retired from ring action; that's about all the games that Piper's gonna play with Vince, as "officially retired" is just another way of saying coward, or backing out of a fight; Roddy's been in 7,000 car crashes, 30 matches- err, wait, that's 7,000 matches & 30 car crashes. . .  but anywho, he's been electrocuted, he's gone down in an airplane & he's had cancer, so if the Hot Rod can beat that, then he can beat the McMahonopolizer; but let's make the WWE Owner accountable too, too all the WWE Universers who made him what he is now. . .  Piper doesn't want this @ a pay-per-view, or @ WrestleMania, he wants to see if McMahon has any guts here tonight, so if Vinnie-Mac wants to come down to this ring later tonight & declare himself retired, then the WWE Hall of Famer will be standing in this ring, ready for action!

Sheamus O'Shaughnessy ambles to the ring, where he declares that in his 4 weeks on RAW, he's already put 1 man out of this business, so he's gonna give anybody in the backstage area the chance to come out here & prove themselves against him; when nobody seems ready to accept the challenge, Sheamus goes & harasses the timekeeper, then punts WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler with a 'Cabra Gaelscoil' Bicycle Kick, sending a number of referees to ringside to give as much medical assistance as the zebras can muster, while the Pale Warrior angers backstage, presumably unsatisfied; due to these actions, Smackdown's Matt Striker joins Michael Cole @ ringside for the rest of the show

"All-American American" Jack Swagger pins Evan Bourne with an 'Orthodontist's Dream' Gutwrench Powerbomb {PSYCHOLOGY: will this victory give Team Miz the needed momentum for the 5-on-5 Survivor Series Single-Elimination match against Team Morrison this Sunday?}

DID YOU KNOW. . . last week, fans from all 50 states, plus 22 countries, purchased tickets to WrestleMania 26! . . . ; betcha Celebrity Guest Host, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper knew that, as he ambles to the ring for that Street Fight that he challenged WWE Owner Vince McMahon to earlier in the night. . .  unfortunately, "Legend Killer" Randy Orton comes to the ring instead, where he states that he doesn't know whether or not Vinnie-Mac's coming out here, but he does know that Piper's got a big problem, because the Legend Killer's here & he can't think of a better way to alleviate some tension, than to take out the Hot Rod right here & now, so if the WWE Hall of Famer wants a fight, he's got 1; before he can respond, Piper gets a boot to the gut, then returns the favour with a stiff right to the chops of Orton, which serves only to anger Randy, beating & stomping Hot Rod to the mat; just as the Legend Killer sets up to deliver a 'Punt' Running Kick to the Head on the fallen WWE Hall of Famer, Kofi Kingston Collie Buddz to the ring, where the Fakin' Jamaican trashes the Legend Killer around ringside & out into the RAW Universe, as the 2 trade blows like a coupla porn stars, until they make it to a surprisingly-unoccupied area, where WWE Officials try to break up the melee, but fail horribly, as the duo dish it out back up into the MSG bleachers, where Kingston tosses Orton onto a table set up near the technical area, which Kofi tries to plough Randy through, until a coupla zebras manage to restrain the Jamaican Sensation temporarily. . .  until Kingston manages to escape & execute a 'Boom Drop' Double Legdrop onto the Legend Killer, crashing the table rather enthusiastically!

backstage, RAW Heavyweight champion John Cena declares that once more, here in historic Madison Square Garden, they're gonna make WWE history ~ in the same match, WWE Unified Tag Team champions Chris Jericho & the Big Show, AKA the Worst Case Scenario, AKA Napoleon & the nWo Telly Savalis. . .  to face D-Generation X, friends for life, break the rules, rewrite the laws & always have something to sell. . .  to face himself & Smackdown Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker, who would seem like an awesome choice for a Tag Team partner, until the Doctor of Thuganomics began actually thinking that he's dead, he's so hard to talk to; it all started with the 2-on-1 Handicap match @ Survivor Series, how can the Chain Gang Commander hope to take on 2 such 1st-rate WWE Hall of Famers as HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels; a backstage tech then starts bothering Cena, handing him a note which seems to concern John just a bit. . .  it's come to his attention that he's made a mistake, calling their bout Sunday a 2-on-1 Handicap match was a mistake, it's actually a Triple Threat, so that presumably means that there's not gonna be a Frisbee golf tournament with DX DVDs, no glo-stick party or DX celebration. . .  but if the Game & the Showstopper want to ask him if he's ready, the answer's yes; it's time to face facts ~ the ring has 4 corners, the Ghostbusters once saved this city from a giant marshmallow man & those 2 DXers are just fooling themselves; the RAW Heavyweight champion knows what he's getting into Sunday, but the Cerebral Assassin & the HeartBreak Kid have to make a hard choice & he hopes they stay friends, because the Monday after Survivor Series they're gonna need a shoulder to cry on, because the champ's still gonna be here; before the following match, a video package plays, showing how WWE Hall of Famer Jesse "The Body & Mind" Ventura will be next week's RAW Celebrity Guest Host for a special 3-hour Thanksgiving edition; RAW 2nd HOUR MAIN EVENT, RAW VERSUS SMACKDOWN INTER-PROMOTIONAL, TRIPLE THREAT, TAG TEAM MATCH: 2Pac (RAW Heavyweight champion John Cena & Smackdown Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker) versus RAW's D-Generation X (HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels) versus WWE Unified Tag Team champions Worst Case Scenario (Smackdown's Chris Jericho & RAW's Big Show); Cena beats the Game with an 'Attitude Adjuster' Fireman's Slam in This Non-Title Match {PSYCHOLOGY: but how will this impact their respective Survivor Series matches?!}; after the match, the Dead Man plants the Doctor of Thuganomics with a 'Tombstone' Elevated Piledriver in the middle of the ring

commentating by Josh Mathews & Byron Saxton

from the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; now in WWE~HD

backstage, Smackdown's CM Punk reminds us that this is where it all happened for him, he became the ECWWE Heavyweight champion, then moved on to win the RAW & Smackdown Heavyweight titles, so like Alexander the Great returning home from conquest, to uproarious adulation, is what it's gonna be like tonight for his match, he'll receive the loudest & longest standing ovation in ECWWE history

Zack Ryder saunters to the ring, where he proclaims that, even though he has 1,000s of followers on his WWE Universe page & he'd normally love to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of his fans, he's actually not here to talk about himself; after allowing the ECWWE Universe a moment to pick its collective jaw up off of the floor, the former EdgeHead officially introduces ECWWE's newest Divas, Rosa Mendes, who's changed his life since they started hanging out, she so smart & sexy & beautiful; Zack was so lucky to have her in his corner last week. . .  yeah, she totally thought he was gonna win against "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin, he was doing so good up til the end, it was like that time when she went shopping & she saw these totally sexy & hot boots in the window, so she went inside to try them on, where she discovered to her unbelievable glee that they were on sale & she was so happy, but when she went to pay for them, the sales lady told her that they weren't on sale after all, then she was really bummed out, how could they misprice them like that &- look, Rosa, as much as Zack'd love to stand here in a waking coma & listen to her prattle on & on about her sexy pricey boots, he wanted to ask her to be in his corner again, as he once again challenges the former World's Greatest Tag Team member; wow, that's such a great idea, it reminds Mendes of this time that she went for margaritas with her girlfriend & they got hungry, so her girlfriend asked her to order in Spanish, so she ordered tortillas, guacamole, frijoles &- well, that's awfully rude of Benjamin, who heads on down to the ring, where he 1st accepts the challenge, but then suggests that they do things a little differently this week ~ last week, Ryder had Rosa in his corner, so this week how about Zack sit in the corner, so that the Gold Standard & the former Glamazon Lackey can have their own wrestling match; whoa, dude, that's no way to talk about Ryder's girl, but all Shelton's saying's that they've wrestled a few times in the past & Zack's always been a tool, but now that he has Rosa Mendes in his corner, he might as well change his name to Black & Decker, because now he's a power tool. . .  but if Zack insists on having a match, then Benjamin suggests they not wait any longer; hang on, Zack doesn't wanna wrestle now, but he'll be ready any time now, just remember that when they do meet in the ring, the Gold Standard's to not disrespect Zack's girlfriend & how better to help Benjamin to remember this, than to have a sharp fist upside Benjamin's chops

MASK VERSUS CAREER MATCH: Hurricane Helms defeats "Ripper" Paul Burchill with an 'Overcast' Diving Neckbreaker {PSYCHOLOGY: well, considering A) there's no ruttin' way that WWE's gonna give up so easily on such a bankable character as the Hurricane & B) I read on-line today that both Paul & Katie Lea Burchill's profiles were removed from www.WWE.com I figured that Helms didn't have much to worry about!}; after the match, the former Smackdown Pirate seems to finally be coming to full realization what's happened, as Katie Lea enters the ring & the 2 commiserate together

in the General Manager's office, Tiffany officially welcomes Smackdown's CM Punk back to ECWWE, but that's rather short-lived, as the Straight-Edge Superstar starts singing the praises of his chosen lifestyle ~ well, it's not like she's into those prescription medications, nor does she even smoke, but she does like to drink; well, it's not like she's a self-centred prude, she likes to party. . . y'know, maybe Punk should try it sometime, loosen up & have some fun, it's great being a human being. . .  well, welcome back, anyway

DID YOU KNOW. . . last week, ECWWE was watched by more men, than Larry King Live on CNN! . . . ; betcha Vance Armstrong knew that, as he pins Johnny Andrews with an 'Elimidater' Snap Inverted DDT {PSYCHOLOGY: splamtastical!!}

backstage, Smackdown's CM Punk saunters up to ECWWE Heavyweight champion Christian, where the Straight-Edge Superstar can't help himself when he reminds the Peeps' Champion that he used to hold that belt as well; well, the Instant Classic's been hearing Punk talk a lot about this Straight Edge stuff & he's interested, despite himself, so maybe CM can tell Captain Charisma more about it. . .  he knows that Punk doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs, but is he allowed to hold hands with a girl; yeah, the Straight-Edge Superstar figured this'd be where the conversation'd go. . .  naw, Christian wants to know, if Punk misses his curfew, is he grounded? . . .  well, there's 1 thing that the Heavyweight champion has to say about CM's lifestyle & he's sure his Philly Peeps will agree with him. . .  around here, they don't call people like Punk Straight-Edge, they call him a nerd; tee-hee, that's very funny, but CM's not a nerd, he's a former RAW, ECWWE & Smackdown Heavyweight champion, a former RAW Tag Team & Intercontinental champion, so why doesn't the Peeps' Champion give him a little respect; well that's the thing, Punk was the champion, while Captain Charisma still is, so seeya out there tonight, eh?

Dave "The Animal" Batista defeats Matt Hardy with a 'BatistaBomb' Sitout Powerbomb {PSYCHOLOGY: typed up, as Hardy was on his way to the ring!}; after the match, ECWWE's Josh Mathews bothers Batista backstage, who declares that Rey Mysterio Junior made 3 major mistakes ~ 1st, he cost the Animal his Heavyweight title @ Bragging Rights. . .  2nd, he signed the Hold Harmless agreement last week. . .  & 3rd, the Biggest Little Man embarrassed Dave like he's never been embarrassed before {ahh c'mon, what about Deacon Batista?  Wasn't that hella-humiliating?} & now @ Survivor Series, he's gonna destroy Rey-Rey with no mercy, no regrets & no remorse

in the General Manager's office, Theodore R. Long entertains Vickie Guerrero's opinion that, in all of her time as GM, she'd've never reunited the Brothers of Destruction, what was he thinking? . . . well, 1st of all, that was WWE Owner Vince McMahon's decision, not his ~ therein lies the problem, Teddy has to take control of his show, that match's in jeopardy of ruining the Smackdown Main Event @ Survivor Series, no wonder he's on probation. . .  why, Long hasn't even used her boyfriend Eric Escobar; now let the GM explain something to Mamacita Heat, he doesn't now nor ever need her opinion on how to run things here on Friday nights; in steps Vinnie-Mac, who states that teaming up Kane & Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker tonight's imbecilic & just out-&-out stupid; after trying to remind the McMahonopolizer that it was his idea in the 1st place, Long suffers the ultimate humiliation, having Vickie named as a special consultant to Smackdown, to try & make sure that Teddy 1 day gets off of probation, which seems to please Guerrero to no end

Drew McIntyre saunters to the ring & states that Fit Finlay claims he loves to fight, but in reality, in Drew's experience, he loves to cry & whimper; Finlay reminds McIntyre of a little old lady who's scared to death of him; the Tough Irish **** knows dem's fightin' words, so get out here; McIntyre pins Finlay with a 'Criminally Sexy' Swinging Snap Double Underhook DDT {PSYCHOLOGY: after a brutal thumb to the eye!}

DID YOU KNOW. . . the WWE Superstars just completed a 22-show, 2-week tour of Europe, performing in front of over 170,000 people! . . . ; betcha CM Punk knew that, as he Killswitch Engages to the ring, where the Straight-Edge Superstar states that he's gonna do something for the Smackdown Universe, what people who actually love them should've done a long time ago ~ he knows that they're all helpless to their addictions, so he's gonna do a Straight-Edge Intervention; the 1st step in a successful Intervention's to admit that you have a problem, so he demands that everybody to stand up & admit that they're all addicts. . .  well, all that booing sounds like denial to Punk, he points out that most addicts don't think they have a problem. . .  they're all in denial that they're weak & powerless, they're nothing without their substances that control their minds & whither away @ their bodies. . .  but don't worry, CM's gonna teach them how to survive; the Straight-Edge Superstar picks up a carton of cigarettes, pointing out that the Surgeon General has a warning printed on the package, which clearly nobody's read, "smoking may cause a slow & painful death", but day after day, people still smoke like chimneys, they might as well throw their lungs in the garbage. . .  but tonight, Punk's gonna throw the cigarettes in the garbage, which's important, because he's now showing the Smackdown Universe how to survive; now, onto prescription pills, which so many people hide behind, that they've been taking them like they're candy, but ultimately what those pills are, are failure in a bottle, every time people take 1 of those pills, they're giving into their addictions; every bottle comes with a warning label as well, but each individual pill should be similarly labeled, as it's clear that each & every member of the Smackdown Universe's under the influence right now; the Straight-Edge Superstar demands that they all look inside themselves & find the Straight-Edge inside of them; now pay attention, here's a bottle of whiskey, which gets the biggest reaction of the night from the crowd, which speaks volumes to Punk, he's convinced that it controls their lives, which's sad; how many members of the Smackdown Universe wanna see CM take a big swig out of this bottle? . . .  well, that's never gonna happen, but he can well imagine that each & every audience member's partaken in this liquid hell @ numerous times in their lives, but they all need to be responsible for their actions; what's in this bottle's poison, it shouldn't just come with a warning label, but with a hazard symbol as well ~ it's destroyed relationships, it's the worst addiction of it all, those who drink it are poisoning themselves & just like this bottle of whiskey, their lives are going down the drain; "R~Truth" Ron Killings what's-up to the ring, where he declares that the truth's up, Punk thinks he's better than everybody else, but everybody makes their own decisions in life; truth's that Killings doesn't like CM, which's shown with a boot to the crotch & a DDT, punctuated by R~Truth dumping the contents of the Straight-Edge Superstar's garbage can all over Punk

SMACKDOWN DIVAS MATCH: Mickie James beats Layla El with a Bridging Pinfall {PSYCHOLOGY: another match typed up during the 2nd entrant's saunter to the ring!}; after the match, Layla states that Mickie should celebrate all she wants, but before she gets her party started, maybe James should take a look # this video package, showing Women's champion Michelle McCool on a farm backdrop, singing about James being a little piggy, which leaves the Future Ex-Misses FanBoy Mark Jabroni in tears

Dave "The Animal" Batista joins Striker & Grisham @ ringside, but largely fails @ providing any special guest commentary for the following match, where Rey Mysterio Junior defeats Tyson Kidd via Disqualification After the Altered Beast Interferes {PSYCHOLOGY: wasn't much of an interference, but hey, I guess they need to save the main battery for the pay-per-view!}; after the match, adding insult to injury, Rey-Rey applies Seated Centon from off of the ring announce table onto the Animal, then scurries up the ring entrance ramp & away from the angry Batista

backstage, WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho tells his fellow champ the Big Show that if they're not on the same page tonight, than the Brothers of Destruction will beat them, which TBS agrees with, but as well as having his mind on the present, he also has 1 eye on the future, wondering what's to come @ Survivor Series & how well the Heavyweight title's gonna look over his shoulder; see, that's the selfishness that the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah's talking about, they have to calibrate their brains to concentrate on Heavyweight champion the UnderTaker & Kane, or else they're gonna tear the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions & the Former WCW Giant a coupla new orifices; well, that's just prime, but to TBS it just sounds like Y2J's scared, but there's nothing to worry about, as Big Show's been in the ring against both men, he's held Tag Team titles with both men ~ when it comes to surviving both men, he knows what he's doing; oh, is that a fact, Mister Veteran, well the King of My World knows what it takes to survive as well, so don't be telling him to relax; The Big Show gets where Jericho's coming from, but make no mistake, coming Sunday, if it comes down to the 2 of them, TBS isn't gonna hesitate to knock his WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion partner out; well, as it just so happens, Chris isn't intimidated by his partner, nor is he scared of the Dead Man, which the Former WCW Giant disproves in short order, merely by turning off the room lights, causing the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions to freak out

- TNA Announcer Taz had the following to say on the event: "Everybody was raving about the PPV last {Sunday} night & even some WWE people, 1 of whom told me they couldn't understand how the company let TNA sign away Desmond Wolfe." Tazz even wrote on his Twitter that Turning Point was in the Top 3 of PPV's that he has ever witnessed live (just think about that for a second, considering he's taken part in ECW & WWF pay-per-views as a wrestler, as well as doing commentary for WWE & TNA events!) & Dixie Carter was calling Angle-Wolfe & Styles-Daniels-Joe matches of the year. Although, there's some sad news, as the TNA President also commented "Kurt threw his back out early in the match last {Sunday} night & gutted out the next 15-plus minutes."

- The poster for the new WWE pay-per-view TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs has been released, featuring a flying CM Punk, with ladders in the background & the new PPV logo on the bottom. TLC replaces the December Armageddon pay-per-view, which was canned after 9 years & each main event will be contested in a TLC match. The show takes place on December 13th @ the AT&T
Center in San Antonio, Texas. You can see the poster here

- Viva Las Vegas! The post-WrestleMania 26 Smackdown will be held @ the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the tapings on Tuesday, March 30th.

RAW will be held @ the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix on Monday,
March 29th, with tickets going on sale early next month.

- But before Smackdown, there's some further good news for 'Mania fans: WWE Hall of Famer Jerry 'The King' Lawler noted in an interview with The Sun Newspaper, that he expects fellow HoFer Jim Ross to be fit for a WrestleMania return ~ "There's a strong possibility that WrestleMania could be when he makes a return." This was JR's 3rd attack of Bell's Palsy & has sidelined him for several months, due to the nerve regeneration process, which can take a few months to grow back. Lawler closed his thoughts by saying "He's the voice of the WWE & WrestleMania wouldn't be the same without hearing him." Hear hear!

- A Toronto wrestling fan was having my lunch @ the Hard Rock Cafe in the Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) & the massive screen changed to something quite interesting. Although not very clear, it's still possible to make out the WWE logo on the massive screen. It actually said "Toronto welcomes WWE 2012" & then the 'Mania logo. Sweet!!

- WWE Hall-of-Famer Jim Ross updated his blog & you can read the latest posting @ www.jrsbarbq.com

- Former Smackdown "Heavyweight" champion Rey Mysterio Junior will soon be taking time off again, to repair his knee, which needs surgery. Mysterio recently returned to WWE action after a 30-day suspension, which kicked off on September 2nd for violating the Wellness Program policy. In Summer of 2006, Rey-Rey also had an operation on his knee & returned a year later @ SummerSlam 2007. His feud with Dave "The Animal" Batista's most likely going to be cut short as early as the Survivor Series, or be a horrendous squash @ the event.

- Former Minnesota Governor & WWE Hall of Famer Jesse "The Body & Mind" Ventura will be guest hosting the 3-hour RAW edition on November 23rd, live from Hershey, Penssylvania. He'll be there to promote his new television show, titled "Consipracy Theory", which debuts on December 2 on truTV. Ventura has a long history with WWE, including a prolonged legal battle against the company, over unpaid royalties, which Jesse eventually won, forcing WWE to pay him $801,333 US. Often criticizing McMahon & pushing for a union, the Body became Governor of Minnesota & then appeared as a special guest referee for the main event @ SummerSlam 1998, which was held in Minneapolis, while he was in office. In 2004, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame & interviewed Donald Trump ringside @ WrestleMania 20 the next night. That was the last time he appeared on WWE television.

- Other upcoming RAW Celebrity Guest Hosts include. . .  November 30th: Best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers comedy series, Verne Troyer will serve as guest host from Baltimore, Maryland. 1 of the shortest-yet-largely-recognizable men in the world, the actor has more than 15 years of television experience. . .  December 7th: Instead of humouring the NBA Universe with his infinite antics & making authoritative basketball decisions for 1 night, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will spend time delegating responsibility to WWE Superstars when he hosts RAW from Dallas, Texas. . .  December 14th: Comedian & radio talk show host Dennis Miller, meanwhile, will serve as the host of the 2009 Slammy Awards during a special 3-hour presentation of RAW from Corpus Christi, Texas. The 5-time Emmy award-winning comic's renowned for his improvisations & acerbic humour about pop culture & politics.

- KAALTV, the local ABC network affiliate serving Austin, Rochester & Mason City in Minnesota, had a story about a local baker shop being asked by WWE to produce a large gingerbread wrestling ring, to be used as the cover photo for their Christmas cards this year ~ @ 1st, the 2 bakers from The Gingerbread House thought it was a scam, but it was really WWE calling for help. The duo worked on the ring & invited the ABC affiliate to come & take some footage of it, before it ships out, adding that they hope it makes it all the way to Stamford, Connecticut in 1 piece! You can see it here

- Former Smackdown Heavyweight champion The Great Khali has been suspended by the Punjabi Police for an "unauthorized leave." Khali had been on an official absence, which expired this past December. Khali'd filed for a 5-year's leave of absence from the force under "extraordinary" circumstances, due to his professional wrestling & acting endeavours. It was decided that the Farsi Flinger wasn't entitled to additional leave. He was officially suspended for failing to return to duty as scheduled, Arunpal Singh, Commandant of 7th Batallion of Punjab Armed Police, told TargetIndia.com The Punjabi Playboy held the post of assistant subinspector for the force. Khali's currently taking time off from WWE, while healing an injured knee he needed surgery on.

- Sources say that Michael Cole has some major heat on him right now from within WWE. The feeling's that he isn't taking his job seriously anymore & officials aren't happy with some of his "stupid" comments made on TV lately. They also feel that he's no longer putting the company 1st. There may be another shuffling of announcers soon, as WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler being attacked on RAW Monday night & Matt Striker filling in for him, was done so WWE could test the waters, to see how the different announcers work together. Owner Vince McMahon's said to be very high on Striker @ the moment. Word's that several people, who'd been trying out for the new WWE announcer spot, were contacted this past week & thanked for applying, but were told that somebody else had been hired. There are also rumours that Sean Mooney's been re-hired by WWE, although none have been unable to confirm that just yet.

- The match listing for the "History of the World Heavyweight Championship" 3-disc set DVD has been released.

We warned WWE that this would Happen. Never say Never! Stay Tuned!" Additionally, the official MySpace page of Psycho Sid Promotions now has a giant TNA Logo on the main page, with the caption reading "Never Say Never." Although nothing has been confirmed, it seems as though Sid might be headed to TNA in the near future.

Worst!  Idea! EVER!!!

- There was a major screw up on Virgin 1 in the UK, over the weekeend, as they aired a 4-week old episode of iMPACT! The channel said this was due to technical difficulties, so that usually means there was a fault with the tapes, or they didn't receive them. Well, that's what they get, when they use PAL instead of NTSC! . . .

- Video game website www.Kotaku.com is reporting that Southpeak Interactive took over the TNA license from Midway Games, allowing them to start producing games for the wrestling company. Midway filed for bankruptcy a while ago & sold its assets to Warner Brothers, for a reported sum of $33,000,000; however, that didn't include the TNA license. THQ absorbed the Midway San Diego studio, which was in charge of TNA, but again that didn't include the license as well. Southpeak plans to release "TNA iMPACT!: Cross the Line" for PSP, PSPgo & Nintendo DS @ an unspecified date to start off.

commentating by WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler & Michael Cole

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD

Celebrity Guest Host Ricky "HitMan" Hatton saunters to the ring, accompanied by the Bella Twins, where the boxing champ welcomes the Sheffield crowd to the RAW Universe, then states that when he was asked to be the host of tonight's RAW, he snapped off his invitation in a split second, since he has a lot of wonderful memories in this very arena, where he won a World title, 1 of the proudest days of his career; he's always considered himself a man of the people, so what better way to express that, than to have WWE Unified Tag Team champions Chris Jericho & the Big Show swagger down to the ring, where the latter proclaims that his English breakfast he had this morning was bigger than Hatton, so here he is to find out what the big deal's about Ricky knocking a few people out, the former WCW Giant's knocked out a lot of people in his day. . .  so why doesn't the HitMan do the RAW Universe a favour & head out of their ring, before TBS' forced to make some memories for Hatton that he won't be able to forget; now why did Show have to come out & get all up in Ricky's grill, he's a big WWE fan & a big fan of the former WWF, ECWWE & WCW Heavyweight champion ~ he loved how, @ WrestleMania 25, the Big Show got knocked out by that other boxer fella; well, since Ricky loved that moment so much, the WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion's gonna give Hatton the same opportunity that he gave Floyd Mayweather, he gets 1 shot to knock Big Show out, but after that, he's gonna get his own shot; after getting on his knees, the former WCW Giant almost gets his bell wrung again, before Y2J steps in & prevents him from getting embarrassed by another munchkin boxer, they have enough to worry about with their Smackdown Heavyweight Triple Threat match against the UnderTaker; now, what does the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah mean by that, queries his girthful superior. . .  well, it's just that, what with the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions being the best in the world @ what he does, coupled with the fact that he single-handedly won the Bragging Rights trophy for Team Smackdown, last week on RAW he defeated Heavyweight champion John Cena all by himself & Friday on Smackdown he's give the same treatment to the Dead Man, so since he's on quite the roll & the King of My World can't have his Tag Team partner suffering any humiliating losses @ this crucial juncture, he's on his way to becoming a 6-time Heavyweight champion; now, hang on there a second, Napoleon, the only person who's walking out of Survivor Series as the new Smackdown Heavyweight champion's the Big Show; hey, hey, hey, Ricky "HitMan" Hatton's the Celebrity Guest Host tonight, so he makes the matches, he wants to see the WWE Unified Tag Team champions against D-Generation X for the belts; that's fine by Jericho, he's more convinced that Hatton's just the same as these other dentally-handicapped & hygienically-challenged gelatinous parasitic tapeworm plonkers in this arena tonight, who all follow the whims of the ultimate hypocrite, Queen Elizabeth & her dysfunctional royal family; hey, now, what language's Chris speaking, there wasn't a single word that Hatton understood. . .  all these big fancy words, he's in England now so he should speak english; he's speaking the mother language perfectly cromulently, allow Y2J to speak slower so that the punch-drunk HitMan can understand him; the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah's just some chump with a bad haircut, so he should get out or Ricky's face, as HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels Break it Down to the ring, where the former declares that it's hard to hear with all these Englishmen screaming. . .  but the Game can't really get what the deal is, every week since they started the whole Celebrity Guest Host idea was started, the WWE Unified Tag Team champions have been coming out here, in a vain attempt to throw around their supposedly-considerable weight ~ why, the Big Show himself even tries to intimidate Shaquille O'Neall & look @ how that turned out for him. . .  but Chris Jericho's no better, he came out & messed with Bob Barker, only to get himself decked by the old-time game show host ~ to the Cerebral Assassin, it seemed like Hatton was about 10 seconds away from knocking out both guys, in front of all of these Englishmen; the King of Kings thanks the Celebrity Guest Host for the match tonight, then suggests that he & the Showstopper will take care of the Honey Monster & Mister Bean themselves, tonight; actually, pipes up HBK, forget about "tonight", how about right now, as he starts throwing fists into the faces of the WWE Unified Tag Team champions, sending the ÜberStar of Jerichlean Proportions sprawling out onto the arena floor & the former WCW Giant joining his partner outside the ring, where he's claiming that he's only gonna take them on in his own time; y'see, that's why there's only 1 DX & only 1 Ricky "HitMan" Hatton & if you're not down with that, then the Celebrity Guest Host has 2 words for ya!

before the following match, we learn that next week, @ Madison Square Garden, Divas champion Melina Perez will be defending her title against her new #1 Contender, Alicia Fox, who's taking part in this RAW DIVAS MATCH: Alicia Fox pins Kelly Kelly with a 'Ax' Scissor Kick {PSYCHOLOGY: yeah, well, you can colour me surprised, with this 1, huh?}

a video package plays, showing numerous rabid WWE Universers in Phoenix, Arizona, lining up to buy their WrestleMania 26 tickets on Saturday; tickets available @ www.ticketmaster.com

backstage, Celebrity Guest Host Ricky "HitMan" Hatton's walking around with his son Campbell, who eventually meets his obvious favourite, Heavyweight champion John Cena, who congratulates the Celebrity Guest Host's making the WWE Unified Tag Team title match tonight, but the Doctor of Thuganomics can't help but notice that he doesn't have a match tonight, what gives; well, since Hatton's so convinced that the Doctor of Thuganomics'll successfully defend his title @ Survivor Series & since he's not really known as a Tag Team wrestler, he figured that tonight might be a slow night for the champ

a video package plays, showing HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, in almost-full army fatigues, on a movie set, acting as though they're in a real warzone, until the Showstopper tosses a "harmless prop" hand grenade toward a grip, who apparently gets blown to smithereens, check out Survivor Series on November 22nd, only on pay-per-view; the official Survivor Series theme song's "Get Thru This" by Art of Dying, available now on iTunes ~ check out www.artofdyingmusic.com for more information

Sheamus O'Shaughnessy Celts to the ring, where he declares that he said he was gonna end Jamie Knoble's career last week & that's just what he did, so this week, he's gonna do what the Irish have done so well for the past several centuries, walk through this Englishman tonight & make him look like a fool; Sheamus beats David Deville with a 'Farrelly Fling' Crucifix Powerbomb {PSYCHOLOGY: well, I couldn't've predicted that!}

in the Celebrity Guest Hosts' office, Ricky "HitMan" Hatton ogles the Bella Twins, who are somehow really interested in what he's been doing lately. . .  well, as it turns out, he's promoting boxers now, his own clothing line {which both Nikki & Brie are fortunately both modeling quite inappropriately}, as well as a £1,000,000+ fitness facility in his hometown of Hyde; well, the Bellas heard that Ricky was a good darts player, but before we can find out, Santino Marella steps in, for some reason dressed as the HitMan's alter-ego after putting on a few pounds, Ricky Fatton; the Milan Miracle can't wrap his brain around it, it's obvious that British ladies like fat men with bad teeth. . .  but in steps Chavo Guerrero Junior, who mocks Santino for sucking up to the Celebrity Guest Host as usual, then Chavito Heat happens to drop the little nugget of wisdom, that he's won the Cinqo Dart Mayo tournament 3 years in a row, so let's see if Guerrero can back it up; well, after Hatton lands a bulls eye to shame Chavo's dart not even hitting inside any of the rings, he declares that he's not here to play darts, he's here to challenge Marella ~ but he's not Santino, he's Ricky Fatton. . .  hey, there's an idea, why not have a Boxer-versus-Wrestler match, where the boxer has to win by Knockout & the wrestler has to win by pinfall or submission!

backstage, ECWWE's Josh Mathews bothers United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, who's still braying about being the only RAW Superstar who won his Bragging Rights match, against former fellow RAW & Smackdown Tag Team co-champion & current Smackdown Intercontinental champion John Morrison & in 2 weeks, the Chick Magnet's gonna pin the Shaman of Sexy once more; his Survivor Series team's among WWE's elite, all winners & led by him & he's awesome; no wait, "All-American American" Jack Swagger thinks that, in actuality, Mizanin's in awe of him; 5 weeks ago, Swagger proclaimed that he was gonna remain undefeated for the remainder of 2009 & that's for sure tonight, when Jack defeats Evan Bourne soundly in their upcoming match; oh, you mean the guy that the Miz beat last week? . . .  what, Mike means the week after Evan beat him? . . .  so anywho, maybe the U.S. champ should watch this match, he could learn something & maybe, after seeing his performance against Bourne, Swagger'll be made the team captain; during the following match, Mizanin saunters down to the ringside area, to watch the RAW 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH: Bourne defeats Swagger with an 'Air Bourne' 450° Shooting Star Press {PSYCHOLOGY: hey, look ~ another surprise!}; after the match, the United States champion  declares that this is why he's the team captain @ Survivor Series, because he's the Miz & he's awesome!

a video package plays, reminding us of how, a few weeks ago, NASCAR's Kyle Busch & Joey Logano were the Celebrity Guest Hosts for RAW, but now they're going to Texas, racing their WWE cars {Busch in the RAW car & Logano in the Smackdown car}

Montell Vontavius Porter & "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry saunter down to the ring for this week's edition of the VIP Lounge, where the former states that when they're in the ring, it can only mean 1 thing, big things poppin' & little things stoppin', tonight's edition coming from Sheffield; the former Sexual Chocolate proclaims that their 1st guest's not just burst out of his shell recently, but he's also the captain of their Survivor Series team, Kofi Kingston, who Collie Buddz to the ring & gets big-ups from MVP for choosing the World's Strongest Playas for his Survivor Series team, but he just couldn't do it without them; it was real cold how Kofi trashed the NASCAR vehicle of "Legend Killer" Randy Orton a few weeks ago, but not only that, he sent a message to the entire RAW-ster, that nobody can punk his arse out; then there was last Monday, who seemed to single-handedly take out all of Lega¢¥ @ 1 point during his singles match against Orton, until Celebrity Guest Hosts Sharon & Ozzy Osborne made it a 6-Man Tag Team match, in which all 3 in the ring right now came out on top; before the World's Strongest Man defaces Randy in this ring later tonight, Porter wants to be poppin' bottles to propose a toast to their Survivor Series team captain, for also being straight-up ballin' like him & Henry; well, speaking of the Legend Killer, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Junior, guess who saunter on down to the ring, getting all up in the grill of Vontavius' doorman before entering the ring, where the former Heavyweight champion declares that the 3 caucasianally-challenged gentlemen standing in front of him, are all acting like they're sitting on top of the world, when in fact they ain't nothin' but a trio of low-class street thugs. . .  take Mark Henry, for starters, who stole a victory last week. . .  Montell's nothing more than a common criminal. . .  & as for the former Jamaican Superstar, he should be in jail for what he did to Randy's custom-wrapped NASCAR racecar & the only reason that Orton hasn't pressed any charges, is because he wants his Survivor Series team to humiliate Kofi's team in 2 weeks {& no doubt, Randy's dad can beat up Kofi's dad!}; Cody pipes in, mocking the fact that MVP calls this the VIP Lounge, which seem @ least on the surface to be accurate, what with Porter's designer shoes & cute little watch, but his other surroundings leave something to be desired; then DiBiase balks @ the idea of Vontavius' idea of ballin' being a pleather couch & a $50 bottle of champagne, the former United States champion's bank account pales in comparison to the former RAW Tag Team co-champions. . .  oh, you mean your daddy's bank account, Montell interjects; well, anywho, back to Randy, who declares that all 3 members of Lega¢¥ were born in this business, they don't belong anywhere else, but the only place that Henry, Kingston & Porter belong's the hood where they came from; well, dem's starin' words, as the former Jamaican Sensation glares daggers @ the Legend Killer, until the following match ensues, where the Legend Killer pins the World's Strongest Man with an 'RKO' Modified Ace Crusher {PSYCHOLOGY: wow, tonight's just loaded with surprise outcomes!}; after the match, Orton makes to assault Kofi, but Kingston gives his all with a stiff smack upside the chops of the former Heavyweight champion

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD

WWE Hall of Famer "Mister USA" Tony Atlas introduces Abraham Washington, who welcomes everybody in the ECWWE Universe to the greatest show in primetime, hosted by the most entertaining man in sports entertainment; tonight's show's gone international, he's doing it big now. . .  & both Washington & Atlas are really enjoying themselves here across the pond, except for the fact that everybody here talks funny, mainly due to the fact that everybody has jacked-up teeth. which Abraham can't even understand, because this is a nation full of free healthcare ~ everybody over here's definitely losing the battle with gingivitis; he knows, it's a cheap laugh to make fun of British teeth, but he thought it was funny, so that's all that matters to him; tonight's also special, because they have a Heavyweight championship match, between champion Christian & local hero William Regal. . .  which's why Abraham's guest tonight's 1 of the young up-&-comers here in ECWWE, Yoshi Tatsu, who saunters out onto the ring entrance ramp stage set in his nice beige suit, where he admits in his not-so-good english that he's kinda nervous; when the 2 get into a "thank you" contest, Atlas caps it off with a 'you're welcome', getting a little bit under Washington's skin; well anywho, now for the real reason that Abraham asked Yoshi to be his guest tonight. . .  his unique stature of having faced both men who are in the Heavyweight title match tonight, @ some point in his relatively-new WWE career, who does he think has an edge in that match. . .  Regal's very tough, but the Instant Classic's a great champion, so he's gonna come out on top. . .  dude, nobody just understood what Tatsu said, you wannabee Jackie Chan; well, if Yoshi's Jackie Chan, then Washington's stupid Chris Tucker, which makes Tatsu laugh to no end in a very fake way, irking Abraham just a little bit more ~ Yoshi might be able to make fun of him, but Washington declares that he's the only person allowed to make fun of Mister USA like that; as the show clues up, Yoshi & Abraham get into a bowing contest, then Washington & Atlas leave in disgust, as Tatsu gets his mad Limey props

Goldust pins "Ripper" Paul Burchill with a 'Final Cut' Snap Suplex Neckbreaker {PSYCHOLOGY: wow, quite a win for the shiny journeyman. . . & quite a birthday present for Katie Lea!}

backstage, Zack Gowen tells Rosa Mendes that he thinks she did a great job ring-announcing last week, which was all she needed to hear, because she was originally nervous, then she wasn't,  because the ECWWE Universe was totally behind her, she did pretty amazing; yeah, but not only that, Zack likes her & everybody can say that she distracted him last week, all they want. . .  he just couldn't stop staring @ her last week, so anytime she wants to come down to the ring with him, to be in his corner, she's more than welcome; yeah, maybe. . . but then another ludicrous fantasy image flashes on the screen, showing Gowen & Mendes oh-so-much in love

DID YOU KNOW. . . last Tuesday, ECWWE was once again the #1 show on SyFy! . . . ; betcha William Regal knew that, as he clears the air with General Manager Tiffany in her office, he's sure that she's quite cross that the last King of the Ring went & got himself a #1 Contendership without her consent, but just think of how wonderful it'll be, her as GM & he, a veritable go, as the new Heavyweight champion; well, that's great, she surmises that they just got off on the wrong foot, as she's glad to have him on the ECWWE roster, as the champion or not

from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England; now in WWE~HD

a grizzly-looking CM Punk Killswitch Engages to the ring, where he marvels @ what the UK Smackdown Universe's become ~ this place used to be ruled by kings & queens, as a matter of fact ½ the planet was controlled by the United Kingdom, but now look @ it, they're now as pathetic as the Americans; they can pretend that they're not as bad off as those in the United States, deluding themselves into believing that they don't hide themselves away in their little pubs, filling their own lungs & those around them with carcinogens from their fancy cigarettes & trendy cigars, or filling their mouths with chewing tobacco {easily the most disgusting habit that the Straight-Edge Superstar's seen in his life, something that'll give users cancer inside of 2 years}. . .  they're weak-minded, they have no heart, their spirit's broken & they're all practically decomposing right before his very eyes, with the only thing that they can do's boo or wave a crooked little finger @ him for being so preachy; but those stupid Limeys need somebody like Punk to tell them how to live, they should all aspire to be as great as he is; does he think he's better than all of them, absolutely & it's not all that difficult, his mind's free of pollution & poison, he's perfect in every way; CM's strength comes from within, he doesn't need any sort of crutch to get through the day & he certainly doesn't need any crooked official like Scott Armstrong to fight his battles for him ~ Punk filed a formal complaint with the Board of Directors & tonight he's gonna defeat "R~Truth" Ron Killings, just like he's gonna do @ the Survivor Series & just like he can do to each & every 1 of those slovenly Smackdown Universers in the arena tonight. . .  because he's the choice of a new generation & when R~Truth comes out here to ask the Smackdown Universe what's up, CM'll answer, Straight-Edge's up ~ no narcotics, no drugs, no alcohol, no prescription medication & that can save their entire pathetic country & indeed the whole world; Killings dances his way to the ring, where he states that Punk can file a complaint all he wants, that's his prerogative, but R~Truth wants to file a complaint against CM, for impersonating a man; he didn't come out here to put the Straight-Edge Superstar down or to try & make him look bad, he's doing a fine enough job of that by himself. . .  but what Ron did come out here to do was to add some flavour & excitement & to shut Punk up; these hard-working people came out here to see some action, not to listen to CM whine, he adequately lives up to his name; truth's that the Straight-Edge Superstar slams others in order to call attention away from his own shortcomings, but tonight, Punk's gonna find that the Truth hurts; the former RAW, ECWWE & Smackdown Heavyweight champion pins the former NWA Heavyweight champion with a Sitout Pinfall & His Hands on The Ropes {PSYCHOLOGY: well, I suppose we now know who hurts more, huh?}

backstage, Mickie James starts heading for the ring, until Layla El interrupts her, acting incredulous that she's still here. . .  well, Mickie's incredulous that Layla's still talking; El suggests that James take their advise & leave Smackdown; as tired as the former Alexis Laree's getting from this arrogant badgering from the Diva Search "winner", she invites Layla to go get Smackdown Women's champion Michelle McCool, or just get out of Mickie's way. . .  yeah, that's what the Bipolar Bopper thought; SMACKDOWN DIVAS MATCH: Natalya Neidhart makes James Submit with a 'Sharpshooter' Standing Indian Leg Lock {PSYCHOLOGY: after McCool & El saunter down to ringside with Mickie's clothes, which they vandalize!}

backstage, ECWWE's Josh Mathews bothers Intercontinental champion John Morrison, who's feeling pretty good about defending his title against Dolph Ziggler, he's a little nervous, has a few butterflies in his stomach, he's just like everybody else. . .  not like the former Spirit Squader, the Friday Night Delight thrives on pressure such as this; Dolph's backstage calling his mom long-distance, complaining on the internet & generally just trying to formulate some form of strategy that'll work on the Shaman of Sexy & when he gets out to that ring, Ziggler'll choke & make a mistake; when Morrison gets Ziggler in that ring, he's gonna hit him harder than Ricky "HitMan" Hatton, kick him harder than David Beckham & rock this mother harder than the Beatles, so that @ the end of the match, Dolph's gonna look up from off of the mat to behold John Morrison, still the Intercontinental champion!

Drew McIntyre saunters to the ring, where he reminds us that 2 weeks ago he left Fit Finlay lying in this ring because he wasn't worth it, but this week he's had a change of heart. . .  apparently, the Tough Irish **** loves to fight & since McIntyre's here to make a point, let's see just how much Finlay loves to fight; SMACKDOWN 1st HOUR MAIN EVENT MATCH: McIntyre versus Finlay End in a No Contest After Both Men Were Brawling {PSYCHOLOGY: well I guess they both love to fight, huh?}; after the match, Drew grabs Fit's shillelagh & bashes the Tough Irish **** a little more

DID YOU KNOW. . . despite the baseball playoffs & the World Series, www.WWE.com still delivered more page views than www.MLB.com during the month of October! . . . ; betcha Slammy-Award winner Matt Striker knew that, as he stands in the ring for the contract signing between Rey Mysterio Junior & Dave "The Animal" Batista; the Biggest Little Man Booyakas to the ring, then the former Deacon Batista Walks For Miles Beside This Pit of Danger to the ring & both men sit @ the table set up in the squared circle; Batista fakes his way through some pleasantries, which Rey-Rey'll have no part of, asking where he has to sign; after Mysterio puts his Juan Hancock onto the contract, the Animal declares that he actually has something else here as well, something that he'd like Rey to sign as well, it's a Hold Harmless Agreement, which essentially means that Dave can't be legally held responsible for what he does to the Biggest Little Man, which means that nobody ~ not Rey's family, not this company, not nobody ~ can sue him for what the Animal's gonna do to his former amigo; Rey declares that he's not gonna sign it, which prompts Batista to proclaim that Rey's exactly what he thought he was, a little coward hiding behind his goofy little mask, he was supposed be Dave's friend, but he cost him his Heavyweight championship opportunity @ Bragging Rights, now he's gonna sign this Hold Harmless Agreement, or so help him Alanis, Dave's gonna reach across this table & embarrass the hell out of Rey by snapping his neck like a twig; well, I guess that's all it took, since Mysterio decides to sign it, but he sees what the Animal's doing, he's trying to bully Rey-Rey around because he thought that the former "Heavyweight" champion wouldn't sign it. . .  but the fact of the matter's that it won't be Mysterio, but rather Batista, who's gonna be embarrassed @ Survivor Series; while Dave's distracted by his incredulity, Rey starts turning tables like Jesus, leaving the Animal sprawled in the ring, while the Biggest Little Man's safely standing atop the ring entrance ramp stage

SMACKDOWN INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: champion John Morrison versus Dolph Ziggler Goes to a Double Countout {PSYCHOLOGY: well, that was a weak ending to a solid match, but @ least there'll be a 2-out-of-3-Falls match next week for the belt!}

Long, extolling the virtues of what he's just witnessed, then suggests that they make a Tag Team match next week, 'Taker & the Bald Red Machine against the WWE Unified Tag Team champions {non-title, of course, because it's apparent that somebody in WWE will die if those belts are ever defended properly!}, but as for why Teddy's not in England. . .  he doesn't have that swine flu, does he, or some other icky disease that'll make Vinnie-Mac put Long back on probation, does he? . . . well good, that's wonderful, so he'll see Teddy when WWE heads back to North America; 1 other thing, though. . .  he's actually still on probation, actually ~ seeya in the New World!
