After arriving
in Sacramento, CA, VamChango immediately went to the back and met up with the
Diva’s. Together, they started to help
prepare them for their first “drag” appearance.
All in all, hanging out with hot women isn’t crimping their style at
all.
Next, we have a
retraction to make. In the last issue,
we mentioned that Jackie was 2-1 when in fact, she is only 1-1. Her first win did not count towards the Best
3 of 5 stipulation Master Bull put forth.
She needs to win 2 more of her next 3 matches in order to go to
Wrestlemania.
Master Bull is
in his office when Clarkus Kentus runs up and is banging on the door. Clarkus explains the FBI is here and need to
speak with him. Master Bull brings them
into his office. They show him a picture
of an individual. “Yeah, he’s on my
roster…so? They explain that this person
is actually in Witness protection and should not be showcased on
television. Master Bull says he will
take it under advisement and the FBI leave.
Master Bull places the picture on the table before leaving. We get a good look at the picture and it is
none other than Wam Bam Arsonist. I’m
sure there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Raquel, still
nursing her foot is talking to Reid about his attitude. “Listen, sometimes you just need to let
things go. Getting cheered by the fans
isn’t a bad thing.” Reid looks her in
the eyes “For you, I’ll think about it.
It’s more than just you and I though.
We are talking about Prestige Inc.
If the King and Magnus aren’t on board, we could be talking about the
demise of the very thing that makes us unique.”
“At the end of the day sweetie, it’s about how you feel. You will do what is right, of course.” She gives Reid a quick kiss and then
leaves. Reid is left pondering.
Donnie B and
Jeff Meyers meet with Board of Directors.
They discuss that having Hogan in a shared GM role is good for business
as shows are selling out more frequently.
The board tell the owners that whoever wins between team Bull and team
Hogan that it is only for managing rights; they cannot EVER make a play for
ownership of the federation (referencing back to Negronomicon’s hostile
takeover and subsequently running the company into the ground). Donnie B promises that will never, eeeeeeever
happen aGAIN.
Goldust and Cody
Rhodes walk up to the Diva’s and starts to proposition them. All but two walk away. Cody and Goldust cozy up to the stragglers
and as they turn around, they see its El Chango and Senor Vampiro. Goldust leaps back in surprise and barks at
them and starts to walk away. VamChango
attack the Rhodes Brothers. Cody and
Goldust yell they want them in the ring.
Hogan walks up and makes two singles matches for the night. He turns to VamChango before leaving and says
“Nice outfits…SISTERS.”
The first match
of the night is Wam Bam Arsonist taking on Dirk “the Pick” Devon. The match never gets underway due to the two
brawling and the ref not regaining control.
He ends up throwing the match out.
A quick vignette
with Diamond Dallas Page and he says that Team Respect is complete but everyone
will have to wait until Wrestlemania to see who the remaining partner will be.
Bran-Don-Goh
comes out to defend the Elitist title against Professor Cobra. The match is pretty lackluster as there wasn’t
a whole lot going on. About 15 minutes
into the match, Reid Rothchild comes out and blasts both men with a chair
causing the DQ. However, since both men were attacked, the ref couldn’t award
the match to one person so it ended up being a double disqualification. Master Bull comes out and adds another match
to the Wrestlemania card. It will be
Bran-Don-Goh vs Professor Cobra vs “The Elitist” Reid Rothchild in a triple
threat match. None of the men looked
happy about it but will just have to deal.
The next match
has El Chango (in high-class drag) taking on Goldust. In 24 minutes, El Chango gets the win after
hitting a Shooting Star Press.
Next up is Senor
Vampiro taking on Cody Rhodes. Vampiro
is also dressed in his high-class drag outfit.
In only 5 minutes, Vampiro gets the win after hitting the Mexican
Facebuster and rolled Cody up for the 1-2-3.
Cactus Jackie
comes out for her next match. Obviously
she is unhappy with Master Bull “modifying” her record. Her opponent is Angelina Love. About 5 minutes in, Master Bull comes out and
stands on the stage. Jackie sees him and
gets thrown off her game. At 8 minutes
in, Angelina hits a top rope cross body block and gets the pin. This puts Jackie’s win/loss at 1 win, 2
losses. She needs to win her next two matches
or she may not get to participate at Wrestlemania. She glares at Master Bull from the ring. Bull smiles and waves. He has a mic.
“I hope you are all enjoying the show tonight. We still have a couple of matches left but I have some additional announcements to make. First, I want to say that with Wrestlemania taking place over 4 days, I am hoping to have everyone on the roster participate in some way, shape or fashion. Now, not everyone is involved in a feud so there will be matches made that may not make sense. Those not currently involved in a feud will have opponents picked at random. I will make sure that everyone gets a shot at a payday…Yes, even you Jackie, even if it’s not for a title.” Master Bull waves to the crowd and then leaves. Cactus Jackie eventually leaves the ring.
Our second to
last match has Darren Young taking on Titus O’Neil. The match goes 22 minutes with Darren kicking
his former partner’s butt. Titus had
enough and threw Darren out of the ring.
Darren decided he’d had enough and walked away (not sure why when he was
winning the match). The ref counts him
out and awards the match to Titus. Hulk
Hogan came out this time and said that this was not the way things were going
down under his watch so he is making another match at Wrestlemania…Darren Young
vs Titus O’Neil in a Steel Cage. Young
was not happy about it but Titus couldn’t contain his enthusiasm rubbing his
hands together and looked like a lion getting ready to feast on raw flesh. Darren retreated quickly. Titus eventually followed.
The main event
is to determine the #1 contender for the US Title. This match has Captain Charisma Christian
taking on the Great White Hope Sheamus.
In only 6 short minutes, Christian nails Sheamus with a one-man concerto
and gets the win. After the match, US
Champion Antonio Cesaro runs down and attacks Christian while North American
Champion Alberto Del Rio comes out and attacks Sheamus. Sheamus nails a Brogue Kick and nearly
removes Alberto’s head from his shoulders.
He locks Alberto in a cloverleaf and yells for Del Rio to put his title
on the line at Wrestlemania. Del Rio,
screaming in pain, relents. We now know
of 2 people who will be wrestling multiple times at the PPV.
Hulk Hogan comes
out again to end the show and thank everyone for coming. He has a table and chairs set up off the side
(it looks a little line the setup from the Tonight Show). He says that this segment is called
HulkNation and what he is gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on
Wrestlemania. He calls out his guest and
it is Master Bull. Master Bull says that
he will have his team ready and Hogan’s Cocoa Puffs had better be ready. Hogan says not to worry that Team Hogan will
dismantle Team Franks and Beans and he will be the sole GM. Hogan gets up and starts to pose. Master Bull says he has one final
announcement and that there will be a battle royal at the PPV and this will be
one in remembrance of the late great Andre the Giant. Hogan looks floored. “That was gonna be my announcement,
BROTHER. You are stealing my ideas.” Master Bull looks at him and says “My idea CP
(short for Cocoa Puff). Thank you fans
for coming. Stay tuned as Wrestlemania
will be a blockbuster event like no other.”
The show ends
with Hogan and Master Bull arguing.
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned
for more.
