Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter
where we are reporting from the show taped in front of a sold out audience in Ft
Collins, CO. We were told that the Clash
of the Champions PPV next weekend is officially sold out. Hulk Hogan comes out with his meat shield
(just in case). “The Hulkster is in the
house, brother. I've got the Clash of
the Champions card packed with two days of solid action. We do have some loose ends to tie up brother
so we need to get this show underway.”
Pyro goes off as we get ready for our first match.
The first match of the night is the Caped
Crusader taking on Kevin Steen. The
match goes 23 minutes and surprisingly, the Caped Crusader was on the offensive
for the entire match. Not sure why Steen
looked so bad in his match. The Caped
Crusader gets the win after nailing a flying headscissors takedown.
#1 seed Alberto Del Rio takes on #4 seed the
Undead Warrior. UW is accompanied to the
ring by the HWF and Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt. Wyatt gets in the ring and reveals he’s the
special guest referee for this match.
Del Rio doesn’t get a word in at all.
Undead Warrior beats Del Rio from pillar to post and in 5 short minutes,
finishes him off with a tombstone piledriver.
Undead Warrior moves on.
Next up is the #2 vs the #3 seed with Jeff Hardy
taking on CWO member Dirk “the Pick” Devon.
This one goes 11 minutes and sees Devon have his worst outing since
entering the tournament. Jeff Hardy
finished Dirk off after nailing a swanton bomb. Undead Warrior vs Jeff Hardy will be at the
Clash with the winner becoming the CSWA World Champion.
In the back, Mark Henry is challenged for his
title shot by Abyss. Mark Henry agrees
and the two head to the ring. Abyss managed to counter the awesome strength of
Henry with his own high impact moves.
Henry, of course, was cheating throughout the match. At the 14 minute mark, the Caped Crusader
made his presence known and that distracted Henry just enough for Abyss to nail
a Blackhole slam and pick up the win.
Abyss immedialy calls out Alberto Del Rio telling him he doesn’t want to
wait until the PPV. Del Rio doesn’t come
out but GM Hulk Hogan does. Hogan gets
on the mic and tells Del Rio to grow a pair.
He is a representative of the CWO and a member of the A-Team. Del Rio makes his way out. Hogan tells him to get in the ring. Hogan says that since Del Rio was being
cowardly, his title, status in the CWO, status in the A-team and his job are
all on the line. Alberto gets in Hogan’s
face which doesn’t sit well with the GM.
“Get your ass in the ring” Hogan tell him. Alberto makes his way to the ring. Hogan announces that this match will be a
Thumbtack Deathmatch.
As Alberto gets into the ring, fellow A-Team
members Austin ‘the Man’ Aries and Antonio Cesaro comes down to ringside. The match is set up as no DQ as part of the
deathmatch. For the first 14 minutes of
the match, Del Rio controlled the tempo even though his fellow teammates opted
not to get involved which struck Alberto as strange. Abyss was then able to hit multiple
chokeslams on Alberto which put him on the defensive. At the 18 minute mark, Abyss throws
thumbtacks at Alberto covering him in them.
He hollered in pain. Abyss then
hit a Blackhole Slam and made the cover.
1, 2, 3 and we have a brand new North American Champion, member of the
CWO and newest member of the A-Team – the Enforcer Abyss.
Alberto Del Rio is escorted out of the ring by
security where he walks up to Aries and slaps him in the face. Aries and Antonio Cesaro beat him down and
Abyss nails another Blackhole slam on the floor. Security pick up Del Rio and drag him to the
back where he is shown the door and has it slammed on him (actually hit him on
the way out.)
Next on the card is Bobby Lashley taking on
Samoa Joe. This one went 16 minutes and
both men were evenly matched up. At the
14 minute mark, Bobby hit Joe with a Dominator on the floor and Joe never
really recovered from that. Bobby
brought him back in the ring and then 2 minutes later, hits another Dominator
for the win. That win is short lived
however as Brock Lesnar rushes the ring and attacks Bobby. Both men brawl until Hogan comes out
again. He tells both men he’s had enough
and this needs to end. Even though
neither man hold a title, they will have a match at the Clash and it will be in
a Hell in a Cell. The fight again
briefly before they are finally split up.
In the back, we see the 6-man tag team champions
Wyatt’s Warriors (Centurion who is also holding his newly acquired singles title,
Warrior of Truth and the Super Warrior).
Super Warrior says that a gauntlet was thrown down by the 719 Cartel
members Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey wanting a title shot. SW says he respects them enough to give them
that shot. The Warrior of Truth speaks
up and says that the Truth will set everyone free and that is Wyatt’s Warriors
will be walking out with their titles intact.
Centurion leans over and says “Yeah, what he said.”
Tajiri makes his way to the ring for his first
match since returning and out comes Malo Leche de Mantequilla. Malo says that it should be he getting the
title shot, not some Japanese jumping bean.
The stipulation is added and if Malo can pull off a win, he will go to
the Clash to meet Magnus for the Internet Media title. In 14 minutes of high flying action, Malo
catches Tajiri with a snap suplex and with his feet on the ropes (yeah, he’s a
cheater), he gets the 1-2-3. Malo just
earned himself a match at the Clash.
Tajiri was not happy.
The main event of the evening is Ryback taking
on Sheamus. Good Gravy…Ryback totally
dominated the Irishman. For 17 minutes,
Ryback beat Sheamus from pillar to post (score was 171 to 72) and finally and
mercifully, ended the match with a powerslam.
Ryback wins the match and immediately challenges the Miz for his title
shot at the Clash. Miz comes out and
jokes about how he is above ‘Cryback’ and isn’t going to stoop so low to fight
him. GM Hulk Hogan comes out again and
tells the Miz that he was practically handed his Clash match so now he needs to
earn it. At the next show, it will be Ryback vs the Miz with the winner meeting
Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental title.
That’s all for now. We have a couple more postings coming before
next weekend’s PPV. Stay tuned.
