Hello fans and welcome back to Wrestlemania Day 2. Day 1 proved to be filled with amazing unique
matches, the retirement (and firing) of some performers but in my mind, the
greatest thing was Master Bull first taking full control of the HWF and ousting
The Wayner and then the agreement with GM Meyers to take over (for 6 months)
control of the CSWA. Master Bull was in
rare form. In fact, as soon as the pyro
went off to start Day 2, Master Bull graced us with his presence:
“Welcome back to Day 2 of Wrestlemania; the greatest PPV
event in all sports entertainment. Last
night, Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Cactus Jack, Nigel McGuinness, Charlie Haas, Taz,
Jerry Lawler, William Regal and Joe Jobber are all done. Some of these performers will be signed to
Legends contracts which may or may not include in-ring action. That will remain to be seen and, of course,
will be my call. You may or may not know
that I am now the GM for both HWF and CSWA brands. I’ve completely taken over the reins from
‘The Wayner’ and have a 6 month opportunity to show what I can do with the
CSWA. I know that fans of both brands
will be excited to see what happens next. All I can say is stay tuned and strap
yourselves in as this will be a fun but bumpy ride. Now, let’s get the action moving.” Jesse Ventura was not able to return for day
2 due to prior commitments but JBL joined him instead.
With that said, Wrestlemania Day 2 begins with a battle of
the monsters with Big Show taking on former tag team partner Kane. “Slow Count” Sam is the ref on this one. Kane begins by choking Big Show with his boot
but Show hits a chokeslam and goes for the cover but only gets a 1 count. Kane chokes him with his boot again but Show
connects with the big foot to face. Show
hits a second big foot but then Kane tosses him out of the ring. Kane then rammed him into the ringpost. Both
men go for clotheslines at the same time and they both go down. Show is up first and hits the Cutting Edge
but only gets a 2 count. Show gets
tossed out of the ring but is back in at 5.
Show locks in a bearhug and Kane dumps him over the top rope. Show gets frustrated and walks off. He is counted out so Kane wins by count out.
Next on the card has Kurt Angle taking on Mark Henry. Angle’s position for the IC title is on the
line here. If Henry wins, they swap places. Angle starts off by tossing Henry out of the
ring for a 6 count. Kurt tries for a
bearhug but Mark hits the Worlds Strongest Slam but Kurt is right at the ropes
and grabs it. Kurt is up an hits a boot
to the face. Kurt chokes Henry and then gets
dumped to the outside of the ring. Kurt
nails a clothesline, tries for a pin but only gets 1. Henry nails the WSS but does not make the
cover. He follows it up with a running
splash but Kurt moves out of the way. Kurt
hits an Olympic leg sweep and tries to dump Henry out of the ring but Mark
pulls him with. Mark is back in at 5 and
Kurt at 6. Henry blatantly chokes Angle
and Kurt hits the Angle Slam (no pin). Kurt hits a belly to belly suplex, tries
for a pin but Mark kicks out at 2. Mark
hits a body avalanche and follows it up with a running splash. Kurt hits a belly to belly suplex and a dazed
Henry walks right into another Angle Slam.
Kurt makes the cover and gets the win at 20 minutes.
The first title match of the night has Big E Langston taking
on Cody Rhodes for the North American title.
Cody begins with a face ripper followed by a big scoop slam and then another
face ripper. Big E goes for a shoulder
block but Cody nullifies it. Big E
connects this time with the shoulder block and then is tossed out of the ring
for a 7 count. Cody hits a scoop slam
and then goes to the top turnbuckle and lands his version of the bionic
elbow. He makes the cover and the ref
counts 1…2…3. Cody Rhodes wins the match
and is the NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.
Next up is Dolph Ziggler taking on Sting. Before the match began, Master Bull
approached Sting and told him that his career is on the line here. If Dolphy gets the win including by countout,
Sting moves to Legend status. Sting
assured him that it would not happen.
Sting walked away and Master Bull was heard saying “We’ll see about
that.”
Sting starts off by locking in a figure four leglock but
Dolph makes it to the ropes. Sting
connects with a flying dropkick and Dolph does a handstand headlock and follows
it up with a German suplex. Sting hits another
flying dropkick and Ziggler hits the Zig Zag but Sting rolls out of the
ring. Sting is back in Dolph hits a
german suplex. Sting locks in an
abdominal stretch and Ziggler hits another Zig Zag for a 1 count. Ziggler hits his own flying dropkick and
Sting catches him in the Scorpion Death lock. Ziggler is screaming but doesn’t
quit. He makes it to the ropes and Sting
has to release the hold. Dolph tries for
a jumping elbow smash but Sting nullifies it. Dolph hits two sets of flying dropkicks and
then hits the Zig Zag for the 1-2-3.
Dolph gets the win and Sting is now under Legend contract.
The Hardy’s are up
next against Negronomicon and Superstar Billy Pearl. This match was a joke. I’m not sure how they won the tag team titles
in the first place but the Hardys, in only 4 minutes, defeated the champs to
become the new World tag team champions.
Master Bull came out and immediately fired Negronomicon and Superstar
Billy Pearl for “poor representation of champions”.
Up
next is the Miz taking on Daniel Bryan for the X-Division title. Daniel starts off with a roaring elbow and
Miz hits a basement dropkick. Bryan with
a double underhook suplex is met by kicks
and stomps by Miz. Miz then hits a
swinging neckbreaker. They traded blows
like this for the next 20 minutes until a well placed dropkick is followed by the
Skull Crushing Finale and a 1-2-3. Miz
gets the win at the 24 minute mark and is the NEW X-DIVISION CHAMPION!
MW3 was up next challenging Mike “the Axe” Medley for his Western
States title shot. To recap, MW3 has not
been having a good luck in the ring. He’s
been on a losing streak and was bound and determined to break that. This was the shortest match of the
night. Medley starts off with a headlock
and MW3 hits the MW2 kneelift. He goes for
a pin but Medley kicks out at 1. MW3 starts pie facing Medley screaming “come
on loser, do something!” Well, Medley
did. He hoisted MW3 up and launched him
into the frickin crowd. And not just row
1; we’re talking row 4. Holy CRAP! Fans started cheering for him while MW3 tried
to make it back to the ring. He
failed. Medley gets the win via
countout. MW3 storms off to the back.
The
grudge match we’ve been waiting for was next with “The Original Big Daddy”
Donnie B taking on “the Elitist” Reid Rothchild in a falls count anywhere
street fight. Donnie B comes out first
dressed for a fight. Reid comes out second
all dressed up wearing an extravagant robe (ala Ric Flair). He heads over first to give Ravishing Raquel
a peck on the cheek. He climbs in the
ring but seems distracted by Raquel’s beauty.
Donnie B takes full advantage and throws Reid headfirst into the metal
guardrail drawing blood. Donnie B follows
it up with the Guerrero stomp but Reid locks in the Figure Four Reidlock. Donnie B then hits Reid with a steel chair
twice. He goes for a pin but Reid kicks
out at 1. Donnie B hits the Guerrero
stomp and followed it up with a flying dropkick. Reid tossed DB from the ring but there is no
countout here. DB hits a flying dropkick
and follows it up with a pin attempt but Reid kicks out. Donnie B then smacks Reid with a frying pan
obtained from the audience. More blood
is flowing. Reid somehow manages to lock
in the Reidlock but can’t hold onto it. Donnie
B hits him with the frying pan again and tries for a pin but Reid kicks
out. Donnie B eye rakes him and then
tries for a rollup but again Reid kicks out.
Donnie B hits they flying dropkick again and then sets Reid up for the
Neckbreaker. He makes the cover and gets
the 1-2-3. Donnie B is the winner of the
match. Reid is left in the ring in a
pool of his own blood. Ravishing Raquel
jumps the rail and goes to his aid. Raquel
helps Reid to the back.
US Champion Austin Aries is up next defending against Bobby
Roode. Roode started off strong but then
quickly fizzled. In a quick 8 minute
match, Aries gets the win with a slingshot corkscrew press. Aries retains.
Ryback vs HHH was up next.
This pairing didn’t make much sense other than 2 people needing to be on
the card. Ryback held his own but
eventually the King of Kings just opened his own can of whoop ass and took down
the behemoth with a Pedigree. HHH gets
the win.
Alberto Del Rio was up next against Sheamus. Neither man had a clear advantage even though
the tide went ADR’s way but he just could not get the win. Sheamus powered out of each pin attempt with
ease. ADR got very frustrated and at
that point (it was late in the match), Sheamus stopped trying for a win and
just had fun with Alberto. Finally, the
30 minute bell rang signaling the end of the match. Alberto yelled at the ref and as soon as he
turned around, Sheamus hit him with the Brogue Kick. ADR was out.
He put a finger on him and made his own 3 count. The fans cheered as Sheamus left through the
crowd. The ref ended up helping ADR to
the back.
The Shield
represented by Reigns and Rollins were taking on the Dudleys in a TLC (tables,
ladders and chairs) match. Master Bull
came out and said that the winner of this match would get the next match
against the Hardy’s for the tag team titles.
It was also turned into a no time limit match. The match went 35 minutes and saw both teams
take the lead and then lose it. Both
sets of teams were taken down by ladders, went through tables and tasted the steel
of chairs. The end came after Bubba hit
a 3D on Seth Rollins and the legal man Devon nailed Roman with a chair actually
breaking the chair. Devon made the cover
and got the win.
Matt Morgan vs Ezekiel Jackson is up next. Morgan beat the snot out of Jackson but kept
pulling E up everytime he went for a pin. At the 16 minute mark, somehow
Jackson got Morgan up in a Torture rack backbreaker and Morgan submitted. Ezekiel Jackson gets a win.
Kevin
Steen was up next taking on “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal. Lethal begins by hitting a flying elbow smash
on Steen. Steen is then tossed from the
ring but he’s back in pretty quick. He
is met by a diving double axe handle smash and a snap suplex. Steen hits a back suplex, a “no hands”
enzuigiri and a moonsault. Lethal
manages a springboard dropkick. Steen
punches Jay in the face but Jay hits the Lethal combination for a pin but only
a 2 count. Steen is up and bounces into
a hip toss. Kevin locks in a chinlock
but it is reversed by Lethal and turns it into a springboard dropkick but Steen
swats him away and hits a moonsault. Jay
is back up and hits a springboard dropkick. Steen hits a somersault legdrop but Lethal
tosses him from the ring. Back in, Steen
hits a superkick but Jay hits the diving double axe handle smash. Kevin hits a Canadian face stomp and a
chinlock but Jay hits the Macho Man flying elbow smash. He makes the cover but NO, Kevin kicks out at
2. Steen punches Jay in the face again
but a hip toss takes him down. Jay is
back up and hits the Flying elbow again and with a little tug on the tights,
gets the 1-2-3.
The night is starting to wind down with our 3rd
to last match. Abyss comes out to fight
Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer is another person
being told he needs to win or that is it.
16 minutes and a huge boot to the face later, Tommy Dreamer is
done. He and Abyss embraced at the end
of the match. Tommy celebrated with fans
at ringside before heading back.
Our next to final event is the HWF Invitational battle
Royal. This was opened up to those HWF
wrestlers with the best win/loss percentages who do not currently hold a
title. The eight wrestlers invited are
Super Warrior, Big E Langston, Kurt Angle, Dolph Ziggler, Kane, Damian Sandow,
Bubba Dudley and Devon Dudley. In order of elimination: Super Warrior by Devon,
Dolph by Kane, Big E by Bubba, Kurt Angle by Damian Sandow, Kane by Devon,
Bubba by Damian and finally Sandow by Devon Dudley. Devon wins the match and will be granted a
title shot at any title he wants. Devon
surprises everyone when he says that he wants a Tag Team title shot right now
with his partner Bubba against the Hardy’s.
Master Bull comes out and says that he is all for the Dudley’s
getting the title shot but they are already the #1 contenders. He asks Devon to reconsider if he truly wants
to use this for the tag title opportunity.
He says yes. “Ok, then but it won’t
be tonight. You guys already had a huge
battle with the Shield and now participated in the battle royal. Keep the shot and use it when it is to your
advantage.” The Dudley’s agreed they’d
wait.
Our final match of the night has the Rock taking on RVD for
the Undisputed Championship. Unbeknownst
to anyone, RVD’s contract at TNA ran out.
Rob has not signed on anywhere yet.
Because of this, he is a man without a real home. To wrestle in the HWF and CSWA, they must be
in good standing with WWE, TNA or ROH.
If Rob loses, he will not be able to compete in the HWF/CSWA until he
signs on with one of the other brands.
Rock begins by hitting a DDT but RVD nullifies it. Rob then tosses Rock out of the ring but
there is no countout in this match. RVD
hits a split leg moonsault but Rock lays the smackdown. Rock tries to lay the smackdownagain but RVD
reverses it and hits a VanDaminator and tries for a pin but Rock kicks
out. Rob hits another split leg
moonsault and Rock hits 2 Belly to Belly suplexes. Rock lays the smackdown but gets hit by the
Van Daminator and only 1 count. RVD goes for another Van Daminator but Rock
reverses it and hits the Rock Bottom. 1….2…..3
and we have a NEW UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. OMG. Rock
celebrates in the ring while RVD leaves.
Rob will come back to the HWF if and when he signs on with WWE/TNA/ROH.
That is all. Thanks
for reading. We will be back soon with
the fallout from the PPV. Stay Tuned.
