Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
Today’s show begins with GM Max McGillicutty making an appearance on the
stage. He says that later tonight, he
will make the announcement that was proposed to the owners at the last
show. Tonight, Jeff Jarrett will take on
3 different people in an Iron Man Gauntlet match. If he wins all 3, Owens is
out of a job and Jeff automatically gets a World title shot. However, he must win at least one of the
matches otherwise he is out. That match
starts now.
As
Max leaves the stage, Jeff Jarrett makes his way out to the ring. He gets on a mic and tells Kevin Owens to
send the first person down so that he will kick his ass and send him home. The first person who comes down is Curtis Axel. Axel makes his way down to the ring as
Jarrett just laughs at him. Jarrett just
beat down on Axel and looked like he was going to score that early pin. Axel, in a desperate move, hit Jeff with a
running one-handed neckbreaker. He
landed on top of Jeff and with a hook of the leg, gets the 1-2-3 in 15
minutes. Kevin Owens comes out and
applaudes Axel. Jeff, in turn beat down
on Curt and blasted him with a guitar (there seems to be an abundance of these
at ringside for some reason). Because
Jeff already lost one, Kevin’s job is secure.
Jeff says that he’s ready for the second one and to send that person
down now. The next person to make their
way down is Bobby Lashley. Jarrett calls
Bobby a pawn in Owens’ game and a sucker.
That did not sit well with Lashley who, after blasting Jarrett with an
MMA strike, hits Jeff with the Dominator and scores the 1-2-3 in just 6
minutes. Bobby leaves as Jarrett tries
to stir in the ring. Kevin makes his way
down and says he is #3. Jarrett
immediately blasts him with a guitar before the match could begin putting them
both on equal footing. This one was the
shortest of the 3 matches. After Owens
punched Jeff in the face, Jeff blinds him by blinding him after executing a
ring rope face burn (drags his face across the top rope). Kevin hits the Steenalizer (reverse powerbomb
suplex) but then somehow Jeff throws him out of the ring where he landed
badly. He looks to be hurt but he makes
it back in by the 8 count. Kevin tries
for a Canadian Face Stomp but Jarrett neutralizes it. Jarrett chops Kevin hard across the chest but
Kevin nails another Steenalizer and right in the middle of the ring, gets the
1-2-3. (4 min) Jeff Jarrett has lost all 3 matches and now
is out. After he recovered, he grabbed
his stuff, loaded up all the extra guitars that were at ringside on a flatbed
cart (not sure where this came from) and hauled his stuff to the back as fans
chanted “you lost” at him. (25 min
total)
Back
in the interview area, the Fiend is being interviewed. He says he took some time off to re-evaluate
his career and where he wanted to go from here.
As much as he despised the Miz, he had a lot of success when the two
teamed together. The Fiend says that he
and Miz and spoken and that the MizFits are one again reunited. He says the two of them will be in action
later tonight as they look to climb the ladder of tag team competition and
become World Tag Team champs.
We
head back to the ring for tag team action with Dolph Ziggler and Sami Zayn
taking on the Ascension. This one showed
that Ziggler and Zayn could work well together but they are not tag specialists
and that is where they fell short. The
Ascension kept them secluded with constant double teams. In the end, Viktor nails Zayn with a Psycho
Crusher and pins him in the middle of the ring at the 12 minute mark. After the match, Zayn and Ziggler talk and
decide that they should pursue singles careers vs tag team. They shake hands
and go their separate ways. (12 min)
Kane
is backstage and he tells a stagehand to find Bray Wyatt and he wants his ass
in the ring.
We
go back to the ring for our first title match of the night. This one will be for the North American title
with champion Jay Lethal defending against Tajiri. For the first 7 minutes of the match, this
was about as even as it could be.
However, after Tajiri spit mist in Lethal’s eyes, the tide turned for
the challenger. For the next 9 minutes, Lethal was lucky to get in 5 offensive
moves as Tajiri just dominated him.
Lethal gets lucky and drops Tajiri with a hot shot and then climbs the
top rope. He looks to the heavens and
does his Macho Man salute to his fallen hero and then leaps and nails Tajiri
with the flying elbow smash. Jay makes
the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Jay Lethal
retains his title in a very hard fought match.
(17 min)
Bray
Wyatt appears on the Omegatron.
"Hello,
everyone. My name is Bray Wyatt and I want to tell you a story, a special
little story. Once upon a time, there was a little boy, a special little boy.
This little boy, he went to school like all the rest of the children. But kids
can be so cruel. Even though this little boy was bigger than all the rest of
the children he would cower to their harsh words.
They
would call him names, like 'freak'. They would beat on him, and they would send
him home running everyday with tears down his face, all for just being himself.
But one day, one day, this special little boy decided that he was going to
change the world. He was going to go to school and everything would be different.
But instead of him changing everything, he ran away. He ran away and he found
another little crutch to hide behind. This crutch gave him a new sense of
power. This crutch allowed him to be whatever he wanted to be. This crutch was
a mask. And behind this mask, he gave himself a new name.
And
that name was Kane.
Behind
this mask, he allowed himself to live this lie. And you eat it all up every day
for no reason. Well I say no more lies. Because I know who I am. I know what I
am. I walk on water just to prove to you that I can. I bite the head off a
snake just to taste its poison. And I promise to you, monster, that whenever
you are man enough to meet me in the ring, I will prove to you that one man's
hell is another man's paradise. Follow the buzzards."
We
head back to the ring where we will finally get to determine who the #1
challengers are to the tag team titles.
The Dudley Boys vs X-Factor is up next. Bubba Ray and Devon Dudley make
their way down to the ring much to the delight of the fans. They are then followed by the X-Factor (AJ
Styles and Christopher Daniels). The
four men have a stare down in the ring.
Then, the World Tag Team champions the Steel Curtain come down at sit at
commentary to scout the match. A few
minutes in and it looked like the Dudleys were just going to overpower the
X-Factor but that ended up not being the case.
AJ and Daniels worked together like a well-oiled machine. They actually out-wrestled their opponents
with lightning-quick moves. At one
point, Bubba went to the outside and set up a table next to the ring. He went back in to beat down on AJ but AJ
made the hot tag and Daniels dropped Bubba with a Death Valley Driver. He then hurled Bubba over the top rope and he
landed right on the table and crashed through it. Bubba ends up getting counted out. The X-Factor win this one and then turn to
the champs at ringside and just glare at them and motion that they will be
taking those titles. The champs stare
back and do not flinch. The X-Factor end
up leaving as medics come out and help Bubba to the back. (11 min)
“Main
Event” Buff Austin complains about Mr. Wrestling 5 eliminating him from the
battle royal and promises once and for all to get rid of him. He says he will meet up with the GM to make
this happen.
We
head back to the ring for our next tag team match with Robbie E and Ethan
Carter III taking on the MizFits. The
Miz and the Fiend took a long time trying to get into a rhythm and that just
allowed Robbie and ECIII to dominate the match.
ECIII and Robbie E double teamed against both men multiple times durng
the match wearing each one down as they beat them into submission. Just when it looked like the Miz was done, he
nailed ECIII with a flying dropkick and made the hot tag to the Fiend. Fiend then dragged ECIII to the outside of
the ring. Sitting on the announcers table, for whatever reason, was a bottle of
BBQ sauce. The Fiend opens the bottle
and throws the contents into ECIII’s face blinding him. All this time, the ref was distracted by the
Miz and that is why he didn’t see it.
The Fiend rolls back in just as the ref counts to 10 and awards the
match to the MizFits. (21 min)
GM
Max McGillicutty makes his way to the ring.
He gets on the mic and tells us that he is ready to announce ONE of the
main events for Starcade. He tells us
that Starcade will be a 3 day event and that the crowning jewel of a match will
be none other than Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe VS Bray Wyatt in a ‘winner takes
all’ match in the confines of a Hell in a Cell. Max says that this will be a No
DQ match HOWEVER, no outside interference will be allowed. If one person interferes on their partner’s
behalf (Desperados for Bray or the X-Factor for Samoa Joe), that person will be
automatically disqualified and will lose.
The fans pop huge for this. Max
soaks in the adulation of the fans before leaving with a huge smile on his
face.
It
is time for our main event and it will be for the Women’s title with the
champion Southern Belle taking on her one-time teammate (from the Beautiful People)
Angelina Love. This will be a best of 3
falls match. Fall #1 goes to the
challenger who dropped Belle with a Mexican Armdrag and rolled her up (with a
handful of tights) for the 1-2-3. (9
min). Belle began to battle back but
after receiving a shoulder block that sent her crashing to the mat and bouncing
her head off the ring, she wasn’t quite the same. Love took the fight to her and locked her in
a camel clutch but Belle would not tap out.
Love would follow it up with a suplex and a DDT but she couldn’t put
Belle out. Love then repeatedly smashed
Belle’s head into the corner turnbuckle and when she stopped, Belle seemed
extremely disoriented and didn’t quite know where she was. Love nails another shoulderblock and this
time Belle is down. Love makes the cover
and gets the 1-2-3. Angelina Love has
just defeated Southern Belle for the Women’s title. Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne (the Beautiful
People) came down to celebrate with their teammate and Belle is helped to the
back as the show comes to an end.
Thanks
for reading. Stay tuned for more action.
