Update #3

Regrettably, technical difficulties occurred once more leading up to the night’s Six-Man Tag Team Match main event, when it became apparent to WWE management that text votes were again not being tabulated properly. At this time, a decision was made to turn to WWE.com’s Live Chat Poll for the official judgment. With the power still in the hands of the people, the WWE Universe selected the Elimination Match (option C) by an overwhelming 87 percent, leading to this stipulation being enacted.

In light of these unfortunate technical problems, WWE apologizes to our fans, Superstars and Divas affected by this situation. Furthermore, to make it up to you, the WWE Universe, high-flyers Evan Bourne and Sin Cara will meet in the ring, live next Monday night on Raw!

Yay! Bourne vs. Cara next Monday!

Spin the wheel, make a deal...Oh! Now it's a triple threat with Mason Ryan!

Isn't it already getting close? Christian could get a damn fine match out of Henry. He did it in ECW. But Orton? That's going to be such a boring clusterfuck topped off with a "surprise" RKO. I would pay to see Henry jumping off the ropes or springboarding into one.

SD's 1.7 rating is solidly above Impact's 1.0. I think a Boreton/Henry main event feud could put the two shows closer together.

Really highlights how weak the WWE's roster is though, especially with Punk leaving.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Just got an ad for an August 20th Smackdown house show and the main event is Randy vs. Christian for the WHC. Which one of them will be defending, you think?

 

[Novid]

Anyone able to make out which wrestler she's riding in that video? Erm..sorry..I meant Superstar.

NOONE And thats what SCARES Me. Shes...fucking...insane.

I asked a few pages back but didn't get a response, thought I'd try once more. WWE Night of Champions will be in my town and tix go on sale Saturday, but I know typically Wednesday morning before there is a presale with a password, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a reliable source for these, as haven't never attended a PPV I'm really hoping for ringside. Thanks to anyone who can help.

411 Mania often posts the presale codes so you could keep an eye out there. I'm assuming most wrestling news sites would have them.

And it's actually a pretty decent episode of Impact too.

Is Zombie Angelina on this episode? If not I'm rather content watching Marley & Me. ^_^

With Bourne vs. Sin Cara announced for Monday, any chance that one of the stipulations on the Raw Roulette wheel will be "No moves off the top rope"?

well his rookie Titus O'Neal is the favorite to win this season of nXt and Titus was crediting Hornswaggle for it. Zack came out for no reason talking about Titus was still shit. Titus said when Zack was his pro, he was the first one eliminated.

End result is a match between the 2 for the main event.

The acting on TNA Impact Wrestling is so embarrassing.

Smackdown opened with Teddy Long to address the World title controversy from Capitol Punishment. Long calls Christian to the ring. Christian says he deserves another title shot. Long tells him he has to earn it, so it's Kane vs. Christian to determine the new number one contender tonight.

Sin Cara defeated Ted DiBiase in a good match.

Cody Rhodes came out for his match with Daniel Bryan. Bryan came out and said that unlike what Cody thinks, looks aren't everything and showed a photo of Dusty Rhodes on the Titantron. He said Dusty may not have been the best looking guy but had charisma and was a good person, something Cody is not. DiBiase comes out when the match begins. Cody gets the win.

*Johnny Curtis vignette in catering. He stands in front of a table with ketchup, mayo and mustard. He takes the first two and leaves the mustard, because he can cut it.

*Backstage, Matt Striker interviews Big Show about being attacked by Mark Henry. Show says he's going to get Henry back when Henry spears him out of nowhere into the set. The referees help Show up and out as Henry walks off.

*WWE Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson has his first title defense, defeating Wade Barrett.

*Jack Korpela interviews World champion Randy Orton. He says that Christian getting another opportunity to be the number one contender is comical but if he has to, he will defeat him again.

*Backstage, Wade Barrett comes across Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. They mock him for losing to Jackson and say they are going to go out there and do something he can't - win.

*Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater defeated the Usos.

*Jinder Mahal vs. Yoshi Tatsu never happened as Mahal attacked Tatsu and laid him out. Mahal cut a promo saying Great Khali is done kissing fat women and they will dominate.

*Mark Henry attacked Kane to cause a DQ in Christian vs. Kane. Randy Orton came out to even things up. Teddy Long made it a tag match. Orton nailed Christian with an RKO but Henry nailed Orton with the World's Strongest Slam and pinned him, so Christian ends up with a title shot at the MITB PPV.

Who the fuck is Johnny Curtis?

Just watched Raw... so I know everyone is going Kermit about the CM Punk announcement, but is there any talk that this is a work? I know the WWE has been weirdly honest about people leaving lately (Edge, Khama, etc)... but isn't there a chance that Punk re-upped and is just saying he's leaving with the belt? I feel like this is a work.

It doesn't matter whether or not he signed a new contract. He is going to leave and come back. Either on the payroll or not.

Regal is so fucking dry on commentary. He is the anti-Booker T

It could be a work. It's certainly something Punk would do.
I don't believe it is right now and either way I believe Punk will take time off after MITB.

But given how creatively bankrupt the WWE has been of late it's much more likely to NOT be a work.

Well that a lackluster match. Impressed by Titus though. He has gotten better.

Here's hoping that whoever wins MITB challenges Orton at Summerslam. So we can avoid your theory.

I'm going out on a limb and say Daniel Bryan or Cody Rhodes wins the SD MitB

Raw I have no clue. Maybe JoMo if he's back in time.


Edit: Why is Impact going off late tonight? It went off exactly at 11:00pm last week

It was so awkward to watch. It was clearly written for them. No actor could have made that work.

All three of them on their own would have made something great.

Tyson Kidd's hair is no more!

 

[sf2fanatic]

I started watching some of RAW from yesterday and the Punk promo actually want me to jump on the bandwagon... WWE needs him to stay around for a long time

 

[Plywood]

Do they just like fucking with this guy(Tyson Kidd), or what? 50 managers, on Superstars despite being a great worker. Not that I'm surprised, I'm just curious if he pissed someone off.
