Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
As expected, the King of the Ring exceeded all PPV buy numbers as well
as being sold out. GM Max McGillicutty
knows he has his work cut out for him as we begin our road to Wrestlemania.
Max
comes out to start off the show and as is typical, thanks the fans for
attending/buying the PPV. He goes on to
say that the title (or crown as it were) would be defended yearly at an event
such as King of the Ring. The winner
will hold the crown for an entire year and is guaranteed one shot at any title
he wants at any PPV. This means that
King CJ can pick and choose a title he wants to fight for (except the
Undisputed title unless he is already the World Champion) at any of the next 12
PPV’s. Knowing the Hashtag as we do, it
is doubtful he will wait that long.
The
first of our matches kick off with the Attitude Connection (Abyss & Adam
Rose) heading to the ring for their match.
Their opponents, the Steel Curtain (Buzz & Starbuck Steel) make
their way out too to a huge pop. Their
match begins with Starbuck taking on Abyss.
The two fought like cats & dogs and Adam Rose tagged himself
in. Buzz also makes it in and
annihilates Rose. Rose makes the desperate
tag back to Abyss who seems pretty peeved at Rose. Rose then tells Abyss that he has to take a
break and goes to sit at commentary. In
the meantime, Starbuck is tagged in and after hitting an uppercut, he sends
Abyss to the outside. Abyss just stares
at Rose at commentary and he’s not even paying attention. Abyss walks away from the ring. Finally Rose looks up to see his partner gone
but it’s too late. Abyss & Rose are
counted out and the Steel Curtain win this one.
Rose storms to the back yelling for his partner. (15 min)
In
the back, Brie Bella says tonight, she gets a shot at the Diva’s title held by
Ravishing Raquel. Raquel thinks she’s
“all that” and says after tonight, Raquel will be like her husband Reid…a
non-Champion.
We
go back to the ring for our next match which is for the US title. Seth Rollins of the Shield makes his way to
the ring. He is then followed by
champion Phat Sol. Phat is ambushed on
his way to the ring by Dr. Red Fang.
Fang dropped Phat with a Vampire Lunge.
He is in no shape for his match right now but he has very little
choice. Max comes out and says to give
Phat a fair shake, he makes this a 30 minute best of 3 falls match. Rollins easily owned the match as Phat could
barely remain on his feet. Rollins scores
the first fall after taking out Phat’s leg with a running single leg dropkick. (7
min). The match continues and sees
Rollins continue his domination but after getting too cocky, he missed a curb
stomp attempt and Phat hits him with the ‘Phat Phat’ (Brainbuster) and makes
the cover for the 1-2-3. (11 min). We
now are down to one fall each with only 12 min left in the match. Rollins turned up the intensity again but
Phat hung in there just long enough to make it that final 12 min. The bell rings signaling this one has reached
the time limit and is a draw. Rollins is
pissed off and Phat takes his title and immediately leaves. (12 min for final fall; 30 min draw)
The
Triple Crown Champion Bray Wyatt is in the back talking to Desperado member and
Hardcore Champion the Stache. Bray tells
the Stache the reason the Desperados lost as they were not a cohesive
team. Bray questions if the Stache is
really living up to his potential. Bray
tells Stache to be mindful of those around him and not to be a glory hound. Stache says he will apologize to his
teammates.
Next
up is for the Diva’s title with the champion Ravishing Raquel taking on one
half of the Bella Twins Brie. Brie’s
sisters Nikki and Taylor make their way out to cheer on their sister. This doesn’t sit well with the champ and she
is immediately thrown off her game. At
one point in the match, the ref took a bump and Nikki pulled her sister out of
the ring and took her place. Nikki beat
down on the champ until Brie was fresh enough to make it back in. Just as the ref was recovering, Brie sneaks
back in and nails the champ with a sitout facebuster. Brie hooks the leg (and the tights) and the
ref counted 1-2-3. Brie Bella just
defeated Ravishing Raquel to become the NEW DIVA’s CHAMPION. Brie celebrated with Nikki and Taylor as
Raquel made her way to the back. (21
min)
In
the back, A-Team members Alberto Del Rio and Adrian Neville are talking about
US title rankings. Neville says that Del
Rio should give him his spot because it’s the right thing to do. Alberto says hell no. Neville then challenges Alberto for his
spot. The challenge is out. Alberto has to accept. Antonio Cesaro walks in and is wondering just
what in the hell is going on.
Daniel
Bryan makes his way out to the ring.
Bryan says that he’s frustrated at sitting on the sidelines not being
used. Daniel then throws out a challenge
to Bray Wyatt for the CSWA World Title.
Bray comes out says he owes Daniel nothing. Bryan offers to put his career on the
line. Wyatt comments that he alone is
responsible for putting out Sting, Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker and asks
Daniel if he really wants to be in that club.
Daniel starts a “YES!” chant and Bray says he’s happy to oblige. Bray says though that he controls the when
and where and it may not be tonight.
Daniel will get his shot; he may have to wait for it though.
Clarkus
Kentus is in the back and knocks on a dressing room door. The door swings open in violent fashion. “You dare disturb Dr. Red Fang Clarkus Kentus?!?!
I should clothesline you out of your shoes!”
Clarkus stands his ground. “Dr.
Red Fang, you are a bully and a coward.
Someone should reprimand you.”
Fang snarls “Are you forgetting how much pain I'm capable of delivering
Kentus? I recommend you lower your voice.”
Clarkus, not one to be deterred, responded “I am not afraid of
you.” Fang leans in and says “back home
in Transylvania (or was it Romania?) we didn't let people like you yell at us.
Watch your back.” Clarkus asks if that
was a threat and Fang slams the door in his face. Clarkus seems to have narrowly escaped an
attack there.
We
head back to the ring just as Adrian Neville has made his way out. He is then followed by Alberto Del Rio with
Antonio Cesaro in tow asking him not to do this. Del Rio says that he must answer the
challenge. Del Rio manhandled Neville
throwing him all around the ring all the while Cesaro watched from
commentary. Finally when Alberto thought
the lesson he was here to teach was received, he dropped Neville with a release
german suplex. Alberto made the cover
and got the win. After the match,
Alberto extended his hand to Adrian and they shook. Cesaro blew a sigh of relief and the A-Team
left together. (19 min)
Max
makes his way out and once again thanks the fans for coming out but we hear a
commotion in the back. The curtains part
and Bray Wyatt is dragging Daniel Bryan to the ring. Bryan is trying to fight off Bray but the
Triple Crown champion shrugs it off.
Wyatt tells the ref to ring the bell.
This was nothing short of a massacre.
Bray announced this would be a ‘boot camp’ rules match and proceeded to
beat Daniel all over and around the ring using everything he could find. Daniel would try to battle back but after
getting ambushed in a guerrilla attack, he did his best just to stand on his
own two feet. Bray went for a stomp with
military boot but Daniel reversed it and attempted a regal suplex but that was
reversed and Bray bashed him with a German helmet. Bray finally made the cover and got the
1-2-3. Bray Wyatt is victorious and
retains his title. He leaves as Bryan
struggles to his feet. The fans chant
“Thank You Daniel” (clap, clap, clapclapclap) over and over as an emotional
Daniel Bryan made the long trek up the ramp and saluted the fans for the last
time.
What
an emotional ending to our show. Be sure
to stay tuned for more action.
