DWF 11/02/08 - six months in the making
91 | Posted on 08/06/06 at 16:32:08 Well it has been a while. After a six month burn-out period, let's kick off where I left off. Before we start, here's a reminder of what happened a while back. 21/01/08 http://www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=tnmcircs;action=display;num=1135612935 Revenge is Sweet - 27/01/08 http://www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=tnmcircs;action=display;num=1136061221 28/01/08 http://www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=tnmcircs;action=display;num=1137335526 04/02/08 http://www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=tnmcircs;action=display;num=1138542427 That should do it. Now then, where were we... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Syndicate vs Hector & Mando Guerrero The Syndicate were in action today against Hector and Mando Guerrero, with both teams having something to prove. The Syndicate particularly were hoping to impress as they look to send Matt Hardy and co. a message before the big six man tag at Badd Blood. With the huge Matt Hardy banners still hanging from the rafters showing him in Che Guevara mode under this so called "Cult of Personality", they certainly had some constant inspiration during the match. For the Guerreros, they want to impress as they look for future title shots with Hector particularly wanting to look good as he chases perhaps another cruiserweight title shot. Both teams looked sharp but Hector blatant cheating with a pair of brass knucks he'd had stowed away in his boot, followed by Mando stealing the turnbuckle pad in their corner that allowed Hector to slam the already groggy Shamrock into the steel gave the Guerreros the advantage but surprisingly, Kenny was able to hold on for the time being. Eventually the tag came and Lance Storm came in like a house on fire, taking down both Guerreros with clotheslines and beginning to work over legal man Hector. Hector managed to get back with a rake to the eyes and sent Storm into the ropes for a backdrop but Storm made a blind tag back to Shamrock who took down Hector with a big belly to belly. The ankle lock followed and Storm intercepted Mando to make sure there was no interference and with Hector tapping, the Syndicate had themselves a win. The Syndicate (Lance Storm and Ken Shamrock) defeated Los Guerreros (Hector Guerrero and Mando Guerrero) when Shamrock made H. Guerrero submit to the Ankle Lock Submission in 0:09:15. Rating: **** 1/4 La Resistance pay Matt Hardy a visit La Resistance were determined to get their title shot today and demanded Matt Hardy make the match against Pitbull #2 for the Intercontinental tag team titles. Matt again shrugged his shoulders of the matter and was willing to give it the go ahead when Pitbull #2, overseeing events on a monitor, came in and told Matt that he thought everyone would pay to see the match at Badd Blood and Matt could make himself a little richer. Matt figured that if both parties agreed, he'd just have the match at Badd Blood and be done with it - La Resistance actually voiced their disapproval but strangely Matt didn't seem to hear, and the PPV now awaits for the rematch. La Resistance got very angry with their protests, but Heidenreich and Snitsky simply edged towards them a little and the French duo wisely backed off and counted their blessings that they were at least getting a title shot. And with Pitbull #1 surely absent from this one, it must be a matter of time now before La Resistance regain the titles. "Unnecessarily Evil" John Cena vs Doug Furnas With an Intercontinental title match awaiting John Cena at Badd Blood, the unnecessary one set about in a little warm up match against Doug Furnas. Actually someone like Doug Furnas can never really be described as a warm up opponent as he gave as good as he got and the two time former television champion may consider himself just as valid a contender as Cena for a shot at Alex Wright and the IC belt. With that in mind, the two always looked closely match with Furnas perhaps edging Cena in strength and Cena marginally ahead in speed. Furnas kept Cena on the back foot with his huge patented dropkick which had things looking bleak for Cena but he was able to just barely kick out at two. Furnas certainly had him rallied and almost caught Cena with his patented Frankensteiner but Cena was able to catch Furnas and carry him over to the ropes. Fearing he'd be dropped over the top, Furnas grabbed the ropes to balance himself but Cena used the opportunity to lift Furnas onto his shoulders and plant him with the Eighth Deadly Sin and claw himself another victory. It had been a close one for Cena, and one man who wasn't impressed was his opponent for Badd Blood, Alex Wright, who appeared at the curtain after the match with bodyguard Ulf Herman in tow. After laughing in a manner that might confuse people as to who was supposed to be the evil one, Wright addressed "Herr Cena" and "wilkommened" him to his arena before telling Cena that he had some heavy punishment for Cena at Badd Blood before beating his whip in his hand. Cena then noted the whip and hoped it wasn't like the sort of kinky punishment Wright and Herman get up to which left Wright seething and the champ stormed off angrily. John Cena pinned Doug Furnas with the Eighth Deadly Sin in 0:09:38. Rating: *** 1/2 Jeff Hardy makes an open challenge Jeff Hardy isn't exactly the most fighting cruiserweight champion ever. Having been a virtual part timer for the last year whilst he managed Don Muraco to the world title, he since stole the cruiserweight belt and has used the backing of Muraco to retain the title. Still, he showed up by himself today to offer up a special open challenge that any cruiserweight could take up. The surprising answer came from none other than Rockabilly. Jeff asked him to give his arguement as to why he was good enough to get a shot, so Rockabilly noted that as of right now, he is undefeated, he looks good, he's got his weight down recently after some extra hard training (apparently getting him in the weight limit) and "I've got without a doubt THE most electrifying move in sports entertainment today - SHUFFLEBILLY!!" at which point he began to do his stupid backwards shuffling dance that he calls Shufflebilly. Ironically the one person in the entire building who was remotely impressed was Jeff himself and he was all ready to accept the challenge when Brad Armstrong charged out from the dressing room and sprinted into the ring. Rockabilly made an equally quick exit and Armstrong chased Rockabilly all the way to the back. Without a challenger, Kid Kash was next to step forward, but Jeff refused him on the grounds that he was already getting a title shot at Badd Blood. Kash reckoned that he'd waited long enough but Hardy was having none of it, and even looked like he was outright backing down. Kash nodded and agreed he'd wait but would be sticking around at ringside to ensure Hardy kept it clean. The third man to step forward was Chavo Guerrero Jr. and he reasoned that after his win last week, he was the obvious challenger, he was a former champion and had what it takes. Hardy didn't seem to think so, so rather than argue his case, Chavo began to regail in a little insult haiku... "Hi, my name is Jeff I find Chavo too scary I'm pissing myself." Hardy seemed in a different frame of mind now ("Oh it's on") and the match was indeed on. Chavo looked the superior of the two, especially with the momentum carrying over from last week and it had to be said he looked good for the possible win as he repeatedly outfoxed Hardy, ever two moves ahead. Jeff was rattled and headed to the outside to grab the cruiserweight belt, perhaps with some method of cheating in mind. Kid Kash at ringside was having none of it and snatched the belt away. Chavo was on the outside too and he grabbed Jeff and hauled him back to the ring to finish Jeff off. Kid Kash meanwhile wandered round the ring with the belt and stopped at the aisle, facing into the ring - that proved his downfall as Don Muraco charged up from behind and waffled Kash in the head with a steel chair. Kash was out for the count and Chavo wasn't impressed, coming over to berate Muraco, who had sneakily slid the belt into the ring. The ref was too bust trying to get Muraco to leave to see Jeff taking the belt and nailing Chavo in the back of the head with it, and the finish following the Haiku Bomb was academic. A cheap title defense for Jeff, who one of these days is going to have to do it all himself. Jeff Hardy pinned Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Haiku Bomb in 0:04:48. Rating: *** 1/4 (Jeff Hardy retained the Cruiserweight Title.) Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio tangled again for the second time in the space of a few weeks and this time there was a lot of tension and anger between the two. Angle won the last meeting and his determined outlook at the start of this one suggested the result might be similar second time around. Rey however had some ideas of his own as his fast paced offence consistently left Angles head spinning. That said, Angles far superior mat ability was putting him in front as he wore Rey down and wisely tried working on the ankle so that a) Reys high flying moves would be limited and b) the ankle lock would prove to be more effective. Rey held on galiantly though and fought back, countering an attempt at the Olympic Slam and drop toe holding Angle into the ropes for the 619. Rey came in but just as per their previous meeting, Angle caught Rey by the ankle and pulled him back in - now Reys injured ankle was telling as Angle cranked the hold on, putting Rey under intense pain, but Rey somehow managed to counter by hooking a leg scissors around Angles waist and rolling him up for an extremely close two that looked to have had it. Rey caught Angle with another drop toe hold and this time he was able to connect with the 619. Now Rey was on fire and aimed for the West Coast Pop, but Angle caught Rey again and turned him right over into the ankle lock and after hooking him in a body scissors, despite the desperate efforts to hold on, Rey was forced to tap out. Angle was victorious in a superb match that served to highlight both mens tremendous abilities. Angle didn't care though, calling Rey a 'stinking taco munching Mexican bandit' in a backstage interview, before he announced that at Badd Blood, he would be sitting right at ringside during the main event to get a closer look at the man he will soon be facing for the worlds heavyweight title, whomever it is that comes out of the show with the belt. Interesting, to say the least. Kurt Angle made Rey Mysterio submit to an ankle lock in 0:11:20. Rating: *** 3/4 Rob Van Dam appears on the Kings Court With Brian Pillman having recently gotten a spot on the Kings Court, it was the turn of his opponent for Badd Blood, announced as Rob Van Dam for whom Brian Pillman has raged a bizzare vendetta against in recent weeks. RVD himself wasn't entirely sure what Pillmans issue was, but he certainly didn't think it was cool, and vowed to teach Pillman a lesson at Badd Blood. It didn't take long for Pillman to rear his ugly head and head down. Van Dam asked him what the hell his problem was ("dude"). Pillman put it down to Clash of the Champions - losing the tag titles and his partnership with Sean O'Haire had left him a broken man, and after the ring announcer informed us of the new champions, whose face did he see celebrating in the ring but Van Dams, and he has forever held him partly responsible. Van Dam didn't get much chance to reason with him as Pillman quickly blindsided him with a cheap shot when RVD turned his head to the fans and quickly went about destroying the Kings Court set, throwing whatever items he could on RVD. King Kanyon was less than impressive, so Pillman very nearly took his head off with Kanyons own sceptre - make no mistake, Pillman doesn't care who he hurts as long as he settles his twisted problems. King Kanyon wisely made a quick exit whilst Pillman took it to Van Dam before officials spilt in and Pillman, with a sick smile etched across his maniacal face, left Van Dam bruised and battered in the ring. Paul Roma demands respect Paul Roma is still demanding respect, and he and the Mean Street Posse marched to the ring dressed in their all black cloaks. Roma said that a group as DEMONIC and EVIL and SATANIC as them deserved respect and victories and would prove that right now by taking on anyone with the guts, and until then they'd start lighting candelabras as a tribute to their dark overlord gods. Thankfully before they could get any lit, Bruno Sammartino interrupted proceedings. Sammartino is preparing for his second contracted match in the DWF with Larry Zbyszko at Badd Blood, but was prepared to wrestle an extra match to put a stop to this nonsense. Paul Roma looked confident but moments later found himself well and truly beaten as Sammartino wrenched several painful looking moves on him, culminating with the Sammartino backbreaker. Quickly, Rodney and Gas ran in and nailed Bruno from behind, but the grizzled veteran was barely fazed and began to stare them down. Finally, they gave up and ran, dragging Roma with them, happily taking a count out loss. And no doubt they'll think this little display deserved some respect. Larry Zbyszko meanwhile can't be pleased to see that Bruno still looks in such good shape and is still as wise in the ring as ever, but apparently he is going to make an appearance next week with a little something for Bruno to watch. Bruno Sammartino defeated Paul Roma by countout in 0:02:16. Rating: DUD Edge & Christian (c) vs The Rock'n'Roll Express The tag team titles were on the line with former champion the Rock'n'Roll Express facing reigning champions Edge and Christian. What we expected was a clean, fast paced encounter and that's pretty much what we got - the handshakes all round was a welcome sight and two very popular teams engaged in a very entertaining match. It was the Rock'n'Rolls experience versus Edge and Christians youth and these factors caused to balance each other out in a very even match. Inevitably, Ricky Morton found himself trapped in the opposition corner while the champions worked him over. In the end Ricky Morton countered an attempted spear from Edge with a superkick that almost took Edges jaw off. Both men were down and left to crawl over to their respective corners for a tag. Edge made it first but a split second later, Robert Gibson tagged in and was a house on fire, taking it to Christian with some hard shots. He even had a powerbomb all lined up, only for Edge to break it up. Gibson retaliated with a hard right that spun Edge right round, and Ricky Morton aimed another superkick at him, but Edge just about had the presence of mind to duck and the kick caught Gibson right in the jaw. Edge took Morton out with a spear and Christian came back to hit Gibson with the unprettier and score the win. The titles retained, Edge and Christian have a free road to Badd Blood and the match against Pretty Perfect, who had been watching on from a monitor quietly confident - no doubt the fact the Rock'n'Roll Express pushed them so hard will please the upcoming challengers a great deal. In the ring meanwhile Ricky Morton went to tend to his fallen partner only for Gibson to swat him angrily away and storm out. Looks like the former champions are experiencing some troubled times with their unsuccessful efforts at regaining the gold. Edge & Christian (Edge and Christian) defeated The Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) when Christian pinned R. Gibson with the Unprettier in 0:11:03. Rating: **** 1/4 (Edge & Christian retained the Tag Team Titles.) Raven vs Juventud Guerrera As Billy Kidman tries to boost his confidence back to the levels of this time last year, he awaits his match at Badd Blood with Raven which is now official. For Raven, this one doesn't even harbour any personal meaning for him, having settled his score with Kidman with a victory a long time ago. Kidman meanwhile is hoping to use this one as a stepping stone to maybe even winning the Royal Rumble again next month and perhaps once again becoming world champion. He believes he can do it and Steve Corino is telling him to just go out and do it, as we saw today backstage, so he has the backing and the focus. Maybe he can do it... With that it mind, Raven had a match today against Juventud Guerrera and Raven certainly got a great reception from the fans. One man not impressed was Juvi himself who, after telling Raven how badly he sucked, said he was only called Raven because it rhymes with Maven who also sucked badly, in his mind. Juvi finished off by telling Raven he should be called Sloven because it sounds a bit like Raven and is a better description. Rubbishy insults aside, it only served to fire up Raven who, with a ruthless efficiency, outwrestled the talented Juventud and never looked in too much danger bar a few moments for Juvi and the Evenflow ended thing fairly academically. Sadly for Raven that wasn't all as Steve Corino appeared whilst Raven celebrated and distracted him, then taunted him. It didn't take much before Raven had had enough and he gave chase around the ring only for Kidman to jump out and spray Raven with some sort of aerosol to the face, seemingly in the eyes. Despite such an horrific act, Kidman and Corino seemed dead chuffed with themselves. Raven pinned Juventud Guerrera with the Evenflow in 0:06:08. Rating: *** 1/2 Don Muraco (c) vs La Parka (world heavyweight title) Don Muraco had himself another specially arranged title defense against somebody he wanted a go with in the ring, in La Parka. Last weeks defense against Hayabusa was one thing as a specific grudge revolved around it but this match simply came about after La Parka had given Jeff Hardy the run around in their cruiserweight title match before Muraco interfered and ensured his manager won the title. La Parka to his credit seemed unphased and didn't think about not strutting to the ring and shaking his knees at the champion, which angered him just a little. If La Parkas plan was to infuriate Muraco before the match, it worked. If that was supposed to throw Muraco off his game, it failed miserably as Muraco ploughed through poor La Parka right away in such a cruel and unmerciless fashion. Sure enough, in a matter of minutes, Muraco scored the Tombstone and notched an easy win for his resume, not that the fans cared, having seen him annihlate the popular luchadore. While Muraco revelled in the victory, acting like he'd actually achieved something with this spectacle, Rhyno was able to come up behind Muraco from out of nowhere - possibly from the crowd, perhaps from under the ring. The fact was Rhyno was right there was the important thing. Last week Jeff Hardy took a Gore but this time it was Muraco who turned round and saw Rhyno charging in too late, and the champion was taken off his feet in a big way. As Rhyno stood above Muraco as the show closed, make no mistake, we've finally got a man who has shown himself able to take Muraco off his feet with one big move, something nobody has been able to do. Do we finally have a man who can decisively defeat Don Muraco? It's just two weeks until Badd Blood when we may just find out. Don Muraco pinned La Parka Jr. with the Tombstone in 0:04:55. Rating: ** 3/4 (Don Muraco retained the Heavyweight Title.) |
CardsFlyinHigh | Posted on 08/06/06 at 23:36:45 Wow theres some names from the past. The Rock N Roll Express, Don Muraco, Paul Roma. etc... I like what you've done with John Cena, it seems like he can do very well. I think he'll win the title at Bad Blood. Being my first time reading your circut, I don't have all the background, but the Rhyno, Muraco thing seems to be interesting. The immovable object vs the irresistable force. Im interested to see where it goes from here. |
Azrael | Posted on 08/07/06 at 03:50:46 Good match between the Syndicate and the Guerreros. But the Syndicate can't stand up to Heidenreich and Snitsky's laser heat vision of DOOM. Matt Hardy's a businessman obviously. Plus, this lets Pitbull #2 come up with a partner. Cena picks up the win and I love what you've done with him. The end comment to Alex Wright was a bit...unnecessary, but that's par for the course. Good segment with Jeff Hardy. Rockabiilly is so stupid, but it's fun. It'll be interesting to see how long this Don Muraco interfering trend can continue. Kurt is also quite unnecessary at times, but it's been fun to see his gradual rise through the DWF. Pillman's snapped again. RVD vs. Pillman would have been fun to see IRL. A pity definitely. Ah Paul Roma. Trying so hard to become respectable, but that'll be a lifetime pursuit. Good tag match for the belts. The RnR Express certainly looked strong here, and it'll be interesting to see if they contend after Badd Blood. Juvi needs to shut his mouth sometimes or he'll get dropped on his head. Can't wait to see what kind of depraved things Raven will do to get back at Kidman though. La Parka gets killed as expected, but Rhyno knocks Muraco down with a Gore and makes him retreat! I'm looking forward to the brawl that will certainly happen at Badd Blood for the belt. |
americamamushi | Posted on 08/07/06 at 04:22:04 It's great to see DWF back. The only time I like Jeff Hardy is when it's Haiku Hardy. :) I'm so not a fan of him, but you manage to make me look forward to seeing him. And Rhyno/Muraco is going to be epic. Can't wait to see who comes out on top of that one. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/07/06 at 08:53:17 I like the Syndicate and feel they'll be World Tag Team champions sooner than later. And for some reason, I just can't get into the Guerreros in DWF. They'll have some entertaining bits here and there, but generally I'm hoping they stay off my TV. Pitbull #2 has bought himself until the PPV at least. With how much this show recapper seems to be certain La Resistance is taking the gold, methinks Pitbull #2 has a big plan ready for Badd Blood. Cena with a solid win over the longest reigning TV champ in DWF history (unless Corino's current reign has since surpassed it). Cena and Wright should be a good match, but I don't see the title leaving Wright for a little while. The Cruiserweight Title insult-a-thon was fun, and you're right; Hardy's going to have to defend that title straight up eventually. Great TV match with Angle and Mysterio. DWF Angle still uses the Olympic Slam as a finisher, correct? He might need to officially convert to the Ankle Lock based on this match. It looked to be what he was going for. And HOORAY for Angle getting himself involved in the World Title picture. Pillman is nuts and it seems like his push is continuing in a fast manner, so I see him taking RVD at the PPV. The only thing that makes using wrestlers from various eras in one circuit difficult is when you run an angle like Sammartino and Zybysko where it's a, "Oh, he's still got it!" thing. Because hell, your ultra dominant World champion is near his 50's, if not past that, so Bruno's "still having it" is a given with the realm of the circuit. Great tag title match. A little dissention with a tag team is always a fun angle (one I perhaps use too often), but I have trouble picturing either Ricky Morton or Robert Gibson succeeding on their own. Raven squashes the hapless Juvi, but gets Aqua Net in the eyes. At least his eyelashes will have great hold now. Expected finish to the main event, and though I don't expect Rhyno to take the World Title by any means, I'm glad you're booking it in a way that makes him seem like a threat. Can the Gore take Muraco out? |
