HHH was the first to come out and accuse Dibiasi for stealing his TV title. HHH said that he wanted a rematch right here and now. Dibiase came down and said that HHH was done. If he wants another title shot, he has to earn it. He demanded a shot but Ted was quick to point out that there are others deserving of title shots. If HHH wants another shot, he has to take on John Cena. In a quick 8 minutes, HHH gets the win after hitting Cena with a knee to the face.
A mini tournament was held to fill in the vacant spots for the US, TV and Cruiserweight shots. Those participating were John Cena (even though he just wrestled), Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, John Morrison, Elijah Burke, Rhyno, MVP and Matt Hardy.
Round one
Rhyno was first to win over Abyss after hitting the GORE.
John Morrison defeated Jeff Jarrett with a shooting star press.
Matt Hardy defeats Elijah Burke.
John Cena defeats MVP.
Round 2
John Morrison defeats Rhyno
John Cena defeats Matt Hardy
Round 3
John Cena defeats John Morrison
Cena becomes the #10 contender for the US title; John Morrson is in line for the TV title. Rhyno and Matt Hardy then duked it out to see who gets a shot at the cruiserweight title. Matt Hardy defeats Rhyno to get the final shot at the CW title.
Over in the HWF, Donnie B challenged Goldust for his title shot. In two minutes, Goldy is counted out and Donnie B is now next in line for a shot at the X-division title.
The Great Khali was next out challenging AJ Styles for his shot at the IC title. In 8 minutes, Khali gets the win via submission by the Relentless Backbreaker. Khali is now next in line.
Chris Jericho is out complaining about not getting any title shots. He in then followed out by Samoa Joe. Both men run their mouths saying they should be getting world title shots. IC Champ Fit Finley comes out and says that these two can fight it out and he would take on the winner putting his world title shot on the line. Samoa Joe ends up getting the win with a Rear Naked Choke submission. Finley comes down and nails Joe in the head with the Shillelagh. He then starts to tear into Joe and Joe just takes it. Finally, Joe tosses Finley to the outside of the ring and handcuffs him to the ringside barrier. Joe rolls back in as the ref counts to 10. Joe wins Finley’s spot in the world title shot.
Next out came the Tag Team Champs MW3 and the Super Warrior. They were accompanied by their special ref “Ravishing Randy” Mulkey. Mulkey told the fans that the next team was picked who would get the next title shot. The champs waited in anticipation (no, not really) and it was declared that Cryme Tyme was getting the next shot. The champs burst out laughing and didn’t stop until the challengers made their way to ringside. Cryme Tyme said that they would “steal” the belts and that there was nothing that could be done about it. Super Warrior then asked “How’s this for ‘Steel’?” and nailed both challengers with the steel chair. All three stood laughing while MW3 went to spit on them. Ravishing Randy kicked JTG for good measure before they all left.
The Dudleys then came out questioning why they weren’t getting the next title shot. William Regal came out and said he wondered the same thing but then there is another team equally deserving of a title shot: the team of Morrison and Hardy. Regal said that whomever won this next contest would get the title shot after Cryme Tyme.
This was by far the shortest match in a long time. It barely went 3 minutes. After getting nailed by the Starship Pain, Bubba tagged out to Devon. Devon takes an elbow shot before tagging back out to a confused Bubba. Bubba gets tossed out of the ring by John Morrison and then Hardy goes to the top rope and launches a nasty fist drop. Devon is taken out the other side of the ring. Bubba does not make it back in and the Dudley’s lose this one by countout. Hardy and Morrison are next in line.
CM Punk and Sting are out next complaining that they have never received their rematch. Regal comes back out and tells the Dudleys if they want a shot at redemption, they could take on this new team. The winner would get a shot at the tag team belts. Now this was the Dudleys we know and love. CM Punk was basically left to fight the Dudleys himself after MW3 and the Super Warrior came out and attacked Sting. Sting was dragged to the back and never surfaced. Punk did all he could but in the end was no match for the brute strength of the Dudleys.
Just before the show ended, HHH came out again. This time he was challenging the Negronomicon for his TV title shot as he wanted back at Dibiasi as soon as possible. Negronomicon stated that if HHH was so confident he was going to win, then N wanted HHH’s world title shot on the line. HHH agreed.
Negronomicon held his own against the Game. HHH would try to cut any corners he could to get the win but N just wouldn’t allow it. The end started around the 18 min mark when N got tossed out of the ring. He looked like he got hurt going over the top rope. HHH went out to help him back in. N nailed an Arm whip of Doom and HHH went sailing right into the ringpost. N rolled back into the ring to break the count and then retrieved HHH. N then nailed a snap suplex and at the 20 minute mark, he gets the pin, the win and the World title shot.
That is all for now. Stay tuned for more.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 9.1 – The Great American Bash Results
Hello fans. Well, we apologize for not getting this out in time. The Great American Bash was held in Houston under the hot Texas August sun. Without further ado, here are the results.
The first match on the card had Rey Mysterio defending his CSWA world title against Rhyno. The match went 14 minutes and Rhyno was just not ready for the onslaught that Mysterio brought to the match. The merciful end came after Rey nearly took off Rhyno’s head with a spinning heel kick. Rey retains the CSWA world title.
Next up had the Undertaker defending the HWF world title against the IC champion Kurt Angle. This match only went six minutes. Undertaker was slow moving around but it was the distraction from Fit Finley which caused a match which was hyped up pretty high to not last very long. Kurt got tossed out of the ring and Finley nailed Kurt with a foreign object causing him to get counted out. The Undertaker retains the HWF world title.
Finley got on the mic and demanded his match with Kurt. Fit picked up Angle’s body and tossed it into the ring. As soon as he climbed into the ring, the bell rang starting our third match. The lack of offense from Angle was not a good sign. Kurt hit some high profile moves but Finley was just more brutal. Finley hit a top rope axehandle that looked like it knocked Angle out. Fit then locked in the Celtic Knot and the ref raised Angle’s hand three times and three times it fell. Angle is counted as out and the match and the IC title are now awarded to Fit Finley. Finley disposed of Angle’s body to the outside of the ring, posed to the jeers from the fans and then left.
The Big Show was up next defending the North American title against MW3. This one went 14 minutes and was about as lopsided as one could get. Show just beat the snot out of MW3. The end finally came when, after failing to ward off a nasty eye rake, MW3 got his shoulders pinned to the mat. Big Show retains the NA title.
In looking back at the last few IC title defenses, we notice that the Undertaker was actually the last person to successfully defend a title more than once. All of the following lost the title on their first title defense: Samoa Joe, Abyss (he did get traded though and lost the US title right away), Edge, and Kurt Angle. Will Finley successfully retain after his first title defense? Only time will tell.
Christian was up next defending the US title against Matt Hardy. Another short match (only 5 ½ minutes) ends in a countout. Hardy got tossed out of the ring and was not able to get back in before the 10 count. Christian is still the US champion.
HHH came out next to defend the TV title against Ted Dibiasi. It seems the matches are getting shorter. Not a good thing. Dibiasi goes for a brainbuster but HHH nullifies it. Ted then gives HHH a nasty eye rake. HHH then tosses Dibiasi out of the ring. Ted makes it back in at 6. HHH then spits water in the face of Ted. Dibiasi explodes nailing HHH right in the head with his dad’s loaded glove. Ted makes the cover and with some tight pulling, gets the 1..2..3. Ted Dibiasi is once again the CSWA TV champion.
MVP came out stating that he was going to be in line for the next World title shot. He said that he could defeat anyone, anywhere. This brought out the Negronomicon. N stated that if MVP could beat him here and now, he’d give up his TV title defense. If he couldn’t beat him, then N would get his World title shot. MVP agreed to the match. N started off with a flying elbow. MVP was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. N then went for the bitch slap but MVP reversed it, tried for the Playmaker but N nullified that. MVP hits a snap over the head belly to belly. MVP hits a playmaker but N hits the Black Doom. He goes for a cover but MVP kicks out at one. MVP hits a running boot and N tosses him to the outside. MVP is back in at 6. MVP nails the Drive By but only gets a 1 count. MVP hits a snap scoop slam, goes for the pin but picks up N before a count could be made. N pulls MVP out of the ring but MVP takes control and tosses N back in early and follows. MVP went for many pin attempts but always pulled N up. Finally, N got tired of it and took MVP to the outside of the ring. He nailed a Doom Bomb onto the floor. MVP looked out cold. N rolled back in just before the 8 count and then the bell rang. N thought he won but the bell was actually signaling a time limit draw. So close.
AJ Styles came out next to defend the X-division title against Stevie Richards. AJ owned this one. Stevie got his butt handed to him but unlike the others, he opted to leave. After 12 minutes of getting his ass kicked, he left the ring and walked to the back without ever looking back. AJ retains the title on a count out win.
Next, MW3 and the Super Warrior came out to defend their tag team titles against Cody Rhodes and Jay Lethal. The match was pretty uneventful until around the 18 minute mark. MW3 went for the Superkick which Lethal reversed. Lethal then went for a axe handle smash with MW3 reversed and nailed Jay with the MW2 kneelift. MW3 makes the cover and gets the 1.2.3. MW3 and the Super warrior bail out of the ring while Cody Rhodes is in the ring arguing with the ref. Seems that the ref should have called some illegal activity and turned a blind eye. Cody then began ruffing up the ref and then MW3 and the SW attacked Rhodes. They saved the ref from any further harm. The ref thanked both of them and then went and kicked Rhodes in the face and while SW was holding Lethal, he kicked Jay where the sun don’t shine. The ref then made a mock cover with MW3 giving a fast count and then raising the ref’s hand. The three left together.
Out in the back, Clarkus Kentus, our roving reporter, met up with the trio. The ref introduced himself as a former wrestler turned ref. His name is RandyMulkey…”Ravishing Randy” to all his friends. SW told everyone that this was their ref from now on. He would be the only ref allowed to call any of their matches. MW3 looked a little worse for wear after the beating he took from the Big Show earlier. All MW3 said is that Big Show would pay for that earlier beatdown.
Donnie B challenges Santino for his spot for the X-division title. Donnie B took the fight to Santino. The former champion took 14 minutes to beat Santino for the shot at the X-division title.
The second to last match had Mr. Kennedy and his ongoing streak defending the Cruiserweight title against Jeff Jarrett. This was another short match that saw Kennedy just walk out of the ring leaving Jarrett behind. The ref counted to ten and awared the match to Jarrett but not the title. Jarrett complained but the ref just ignored him.
The final match of the night is Champion vs Champion for the Undisputed Heavyweight title. This will be the second time Mysterio and the Undertaker met for this prestigious title. Undertaker started off with attempting a Tombstone piledriver but Mysterio nullified it. Mysterio hits a spinning heel kick and Undertaker locks in the Triangle choke. Rey makes it to the ropes to break the hold. Rey hits a standing dropkick and immediately goes for a 6-1-9 but Undertaker turns it into the Last Ride. He goes for the pin but Rey puts his foot on the rope at one. Undertaker follows it up with a choke slam. A standing dropkick from Rey is met by a chokeslam from Taker. Taker gets Rey up in the Last Ride again and nails it. He goes for the pin but Rey kicks out at 2. Taker is getting ticked off so he starts to choke Rey. He goes for the pin but Rey kicks out. Taker tries to toss Rey out of the ring but Rey holds on and tries for a 6-1-9 but Taker nullifies it. Rey gets in Taker’s face and gets tossed out of the ring for his insolence. Rey makes it back in at 8. Taker tries to slam Rey in the corner but he goes up and hits a flying bodypress. Rey goes up and nails another flying bodypress taking Taker off his feet. Taker nails a choke slam but then Rey tosses him out of the ring. Taker barely makes it back in at 9. Taker catches Rey coming off the top rope and nails a chokeslam right in the middle of the ring. He makes the cover and the ref counts 1….2….3. Undertaker wins the match and is the NEW UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Taker poses with the belt and then Rey makes his way over. He puts out his hand and Undertaker shakes it. Both men leave to the cheering of the fans.
