Hello Wrestling fans and welcome back to our latest installment of the Wrestling newsletter. We have had a lot transpire in the last week so lets get down to business.
In the ongoing saga between MW3 and Shawn Michaels, both men picked their partners. MW3 is teamed with Batista and Shawn Michaels is teamed with “The Dog-Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner. Batista and Steiner start off but Batista overpowers his opponent. Micheals refuses to tag in. MW3 comes in and continues the offensive barrage. Steiner tries to tag out again but Michaels turns away. The match ends up in DQ after Shawn Michaels, frustrated with his partner’s inability to do anything right, hit MW3, Batista and Steiner with a chair. This prompted William Regal to come out and make a 4 way dance in a lumberjack match between the 4 men.
Shawn Michaels gets the win after knocking everyone out with brass knuckles and pinning each of them. Regal came out again and said that since Shawn is playing the role of Coward, he is making a Steel Cage match between MW3 and Michaels with the belt on the line. If Michaels loses by DQ, he will be FIRED!
The next match on the card is Big Show vs. Christian for the IC title. Christian gets the win by DQ after Edge attacked him. The refs came down and broke it up. Edge complained to William Regal that Christian stole his title. He wants revenge but first, he wants a World Title shot against Booker T. Regal reminds Edge that he has done nothing to deserve a title shot so the best he will get is a non-title match. If he wins, he will be granted a title shot.
Booker T vs. the returning Edge in a non-title match up. Edge still has some ring rust after recovering from the vicious but funny attack by Christian. Booker T gets the win after Big Show comes to ringside and distracts Edge. Big Show says “That’s what you get for interferring in my match, bitch!”
In a challenge from last week, Tommy Dreamer accepted a match against Ken Kennedy for X-division title. Kennedy came out to do his normal gab on the mic. Dreamer comes out and tells Kennedy that he will show him the meaning of X – EXTREME. Dreamer was prepared for this match but Kennedy wasn’t and that lack of preparation allowed Dreamer to connect with a DDT and get the win.
MVP vs. Santino Marella: MVP totally came into this match all cocky and pretty much wiped the mat with Santino until after playing possum, rolled up MVP and with a hook of the tights, got the win and becomes the new CSWA Cruiserweight champion. MVP immediately wanted his rematch but Santino said he would have to wait until the PPV.
Chris Jericho vs AJ Styles for the CSWA US title – this match had Match of the Year written all over it. Both men put on a show for the ages. Jericho, definitely older than the current US champion, showed that he could still keep up with the youngsters. The match had lots of high flying moves from both men and saw them hit their signature moves throughout the match but neither one got a real advantage over the other. The match ended in a draw and both men actually shook hands at the end. This prompted William Regal, who seemed to be busy today, to come out applauding the professionalism these two men showed in this match. As a result, Jericho was granted another title match – this time at Wrestlemania. Jericho was esstatic. He turned around and went to go shake AJ’s hand. Just as AJ stuck out his hand, Jericho kicked him in the gut and delivered an ensiguri. He locked AJ in the Walls of Jericho and wouldn’t break the hold until the refs came in and broke it up. Jericho walked to the back smirking.
Donnie B and Negronomicon – both men dislike each other. Donnie B makes comments about how he does all the work and N takes all the credit to which N replies “So what? Do you want an F’n cookie?” Donnie B replies by hitting N with a baking pan. GONG! Both men brawl until William Regal breaks it up. Regal says they are the World Tag Team Champs. “I don’t care if you two don’t like each other. I’m not breaking you up but instead making the two of you work together for the common goal. Live with it.” Regal walks away but not before making Donnie B and Negronomicon go their separate ways.
Elsewhere, Handsome G asks Super Warrior if he thinks he can keep his grunting and squealing under control. SW tries but is unsuccessful. G asks SW if he is retarded; is there something wrong with his head? Regal walks by and reminds them that they are a team and need to learn to act like one. Regal walks away wondering “What is happening with ego’s these days?” SW piefaces Handsome G before walking away. Handsome G stews. GRRRR.
Interviews with Undertaker, Ricky Steamboat, HHH and Shawn Michaels. Undertaker put over Flair as the greatest performer of all time. Steamboat acknowledged Flair was his greatest opponent and said the highlight point of his career is when he defeated Flair for the NWA World title. HHH pleaded with the fans to stop voting for him. Even though it would be a great honor to meet Flair in his final match, he did not want to hand Flair his final defeat. Michaels said he didn’t have time for this and walked away. Abdullah came out afterwards and just stared at the camera. He hits himself in the head causing himself to bleed. Creepy.
We are proud to make the following announcment: Bobby Lashley and Mick Foley announce their return to the squared circle. Lashley said he had such a good time performing at the PPV in his match against Brock Lesnar that he decided to return full time….for now. Mick Foley is drafted to the HWF and Lashley will appear in the CSWA. In a very bold move, Lashley has challenged John Cena for the CSWA World Heavyweight title. Cena has accepted. This brings out the Great Khali who is supposed to have the next title shot after beating Abyss. Cena says he’ll fight whomever. The two of them can figure it out. Lashley and Khali are scheduled to meet to see who goes on to fight Cena for the CSWA World title.
Mick Foley has challenged Samoa Joe for the North American championship. Jeff Hardy is supposed to get the next title shot for the NA title so in a match to determine the #1 contender, Jeff will first take on Mick Foley and the winner gets to go on to meet Samoa Joe.
Mick Foley defeats the Jeff Hardy after submission from Mr. Sokko. Foley will go on to meet Samoa Joe for the North American Championship.
Bobby Lashley also defeated his opponent The Great Khali to gain the shot against John Cena’s CSWA World Title. Khali was not happy and has vowed that he and Lashley will meet again. Lashley says that when he beats Cena for the World title, his first defense will be against Khali. Khali smiles and walks off.
The next round of eliminations in determining who the fans will vote for to meet Ric Flair in his final match came up with these results:
Undertaker: 50%
Ricky Steamboat: 38%
Shawn Michaels: 12% (Shawn has fallen from grace with the fans)
Eliminated:
HHH (decided to do what Batista said and pleaded with the fans to not vote for him anymore.
Abdullah the Butcher (only lost to Shawn Michaels by 10 votes – plus the whole bleeding thing probably turned people off)
After the last 2 wrestlers got eliminated, the fans began clammoring for the head of Shawn Michaels. There was a one day vote-off and Shawn got the boot by majority vote. This vote was different from the last ones as for this vote, you either choose Michaels or “Other” (other being Undertaker and Ricky Steamboat). It was the largest deficit in any of our voting polls so far. “Other” received 95% of the vote while the core fans of Michaels only rang in at 5%. This means that our next vote will be the showdown between Ricky Steamboat and the Undertaker.
Our final vote has Undertaker facing off with Ricky “The Dragon Steamboat”. This vote was set up for one day only. When we checked in on it in the morning, Steamboat had a 5 point lead over the Undertaker. When we checked back in the afternoon, Undertaker had a 15 point lead. Finally the end of the voting came and the final votes were tallied. The winner of the contest and the person going on to meet Ric Flair in his final match will be none other than……………
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
Because of the huge popularity Undertaker got in the voting, Regal didn’t want to leave him off the card so he granted him a title match against Booker T.
Our next PPV will be “Wrestlemania” and this is how the card is shaping up so far”
