Results Of WWE Smackdown 30.07.2010 / 2010.07.30 / 07.30.2010
Dylan Johnson and ProWrestling.net wrote the following report ...
The crew is setting up for WWE Smackdown by placing a black carpet in the ring with a casket. Does this mean Undertaker is returning tonight?
Kane sat in the middle of the ring with the casket. A video recapped last week's show and Rey Mysterio becoming No. 1 contender. He said he sits by Undertaker everyday waiting for him to awake. He said he moved and opened his eyes for the first time yesterday. Kane said Undertaker also spoke. He said Taker could only say two words, which were the name of the person who attacked him.
Kane said anger went through his body when he heard the name. He said he couldn't believe that Rey Mysterio was the person who attacked his brother. He said Rey's name hangs in the air like a demon. He asked why Mysterio would do it.
Kane said beating Mysterio at SummerSlam won't be enough. He said Kane must pay for his sins and experience what Undertaker endured. He said he will stuff Kane inside the casket. The lights went out and Kane was still in the ring with the casket to close the segment.
It was announced that Mysterio would face Jack Swagger in a No DQ match.
- Christian Cage defeated Drew McIntyre.
McIntyre set up Christian for his finisher and had the arms hooked for the DDT, but Christian countered with a small package out of nowhere for the win.
Layla will defend the WWE Women's Championship against Tiffany later tonight.
Cody Rhodes delivered grooming tips. He was wearing an avocado face mask. He said he was bringing us one step closer to being dashing.
An Alberto Del Rio vignette aired.
Backstage, CM Punk asked the rest of the SES which one was going to let him down. He smelled Serena's breath and told her thanks for showing up sober. He complained about Joey Mercury losing his mask. He said none of them would be anything without him. He pleaded with them to actually do something and said they should pack their bags if they don't. Awesome heel promo from Punk.
- Big Show def. Luke Gallows by DQ.
There was a funny spot where Show called for the ring announcer to put the mic next to Luke's chest before he chopped it. This was probably during the commercial break. In the end, the rest of SES jumped Show for the DQ. They continued to attack Show and did a spot with the ring steps that left Show lying. Punk removed his sling to show that his arm is fine.
- Kofi Kingston def. Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) by DQ.
Vickie slapped Ziggler. Kofi flipped and was disqualified. Referees had to come out to restrain Kofi, who wouldn't stop attacking Ziggler.
Jack Swagger was interviewed backstage and said he wasn't in the mood for stupid questions. He said he's going to beat up Rey, break his arms, and throw him in the Gulf of Mexico.
Vickie Guerrero came out and announced that Michelle McCool would replace Layla in the match against Tiffany. Vickie had more heat than I've ever heard in my life. The match is still for the WWE Women's Championship.
- Michelle McCool (w/Layla) def. Tiffany (w/Kelly Kelly) to retain the WWE Women's Championship.
Layla interfered in the match, which set up McCool getting the win.
Afterward, Teddy Long came out and said there only needs to be one women's champion. He said they can decide for themselves or he will make the decision next week. McCool and Layla argued over the title belts.
- Rey Mysterio fought Jack Swagger to a no-contest in a No DQ match.
They battled outside the building. Rey hit a huracanrana that caused Swagger to fall into the water. Rey turned around and Kane grabbed him by the throat and chokeslammed him into the water to end WWE Smackdown.

Major ECW Reunion Bash After iMPACT
The following is a report of what happened when the TNA Impact tapings concluded last night. Thanks to Michael Spears for this recap:
I was able to make yesterday's Impact tapings and have a few more notes on the Beer Bash in the ring at the Impact Zone following the Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer vs. Abyss & Raven match. Those who took part were Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Stevie Richards, Rhino, the Sandman, Brother Ray, Brother D'Von, Jerry Lynn, Mick Foley, Al Snow, Pat Kenney, and Hulk Hogan. The Sesame Street song "One of these things is not like the other" came into mind! They played Metallica's version of Enter Sandman, which seemed to surprise some of the ECW alums in the ring. Brother Ray and Brother D'Von led the crowd in singing Enter Sandman. So Cal Val was called into the ring where Dreamer did his "pour beer on the hot chick's chest and drink it off" spot with her. One of the empty beer cans Sandman threw into the crowd landed in the hands of a young kid which popped Sandman and Brother Ray.

JR Returning To FCW | His Thoughts On Monday's Raw | Bret Hart's Marriage
Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his official website. Below are highlights:
- Enjoyed WWE Raw Monday night by and large. I do know this....if John Cena's team doesn't put their own personal agendas behind them then the Raw 7 has NO chance against The Nexus at WWE Summer Slam. That point was made abundantly clear over the two hour broadcast from San Antonio. No unity=no win for Raw. "No win for you" ala Seinfeld's 'Soup Nazi.' Got it? Good. :)
- It was in San Antonio that yours truly was 'traded' to WWE Friday Night Smackdown in the summer of 2008. I am more than pleased now to be able to watch Todd Grisham and Matt Striker handle the announcing chores on the Friday night show. BTW SD will emanate live from OKC's Ford Center for their premier broadcast on Sy Fy on Friday night October 1.
- It's back to Tampa for me this weekend to observe the FCW try out camp that likely will have over 50 individuals taking part in the process. Now seems to be a timely opportunity to get noticed and perhaps signing with WWE and assigned to FCW which needs more viable athletes and quality numbers in general.
- Congrats to Bret Hart on his marriage last Saturday. I am relatively sure Mr. and Mrs. Hitman are enjoying a Hawaiian honeymoon. Bret on Team Raw or the Raw 7 or whatever one chooses to call the team opposing Nexus, or the Nexus, adds to the sizzle of the presentation.
- I Tweeted @JRsBBQ that I liked John Morrison's new beard and that I thought it made him look a little more rugged. Morrison is a gifted athlete who has 'something' that physically reminds me of a young HBK. One can only hope that Morrison can begin to approach the success that Shawn Michaels earned but that's some king sized expectations. Nonetheless I think that Morrison can be a major player within WWE once his complete game comes together which simply takes time.
- I still believe that one is looking at an approximate 5 year window for a performer to come into their own in pro wrestling.

Report: The Latest Commercial Featuring Hulk Hogan
H & H Imports, Inc. issued the following press release today:
H & H Imports, Inc. to Release "Hulk Hogan" PumMax(TM) Commercial Early Next Week
Interest in New Direct Response TV Spot Fueled by Reports on www.RadarOnline.com
CLEARWATER, FL, Jul 28, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- H & H Imports, Inc. services of Hulk Hogan to act as a spokesman/pitch person for its new line of pumice-based cleaning products, today announced that it will be previewing the commercial early next week on its websites: www.pummax.com and www.IBCGlobalInc.com. The spot is expected to begin airing the following week.
Kevin Harrington, the Chairman of the company, stated: "I knew that Terry's (a/k/a Hulk Hogan) involvement would generate instant interest in the PumMaX(TM)" product line we are launching, both on TV and in retail, but we were pleasantly surprised at the buzz generated by RadarOnline.com's exclusive report that: "Former pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan is going back to his roots as a TV pitchman and hopes to become the next Billy Mays." http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/07/exclusive-hulk-hogans-new-career-he-wants-be-new-billy-mays
When asked by RadarOnline.com about the perception that Hulk was getting his career "back on track," Hulk's attorney, David R. Houston, said: "I think it's more of a continuation as opposed to a new beginning. Terry brings decades' worth of charisma and credibility to the marketplace."

About PumMax(TM)
The PumMaX(TM) line of products is made from pumice, a natural mineral from the earth's crust. It is all natural and contains no detergents, solvents or harsh chemicals. Pumice has been used as an abrasive exfoliant for centuries and is commonly used today in many households throughout the world. When ground to a fine powder its spiny molecules gently break the stains, dirt, grime and oils away from the surfaces of almost anything. Strong enough to clean oil and tar stains from boats and clean barbecue grills, it is safe enough to wash dishes, gentle enough to clean a child's hands and, when mixed with water, will not scratch glass or mirrors. It leaves no chemical residue. The product owner is presently reviewing whether it can effectively and safely be used in animal rescue in situations such as oil spills and similar disasters.

MITB | Alberto Del Rio | The Nexus' Future | Jobbers
- I'm a little confused over the whole WWE Money in the Bank situation. Now that it's a PPV will the match no longer be used at Wrestlemania?
The original plan was to scrap the match at Wrestlemania in favor of the new pay-per-view although those plans changed because there wasn't a better way to get so many workers on the Wrestlemania card. Remember working the Wrestlemania card is a big deal because it's the largest show bonus of the year. I haven't heard what the plan is next year but original plans this year had it nixed before it was decided to have it again. Based on the pay-per-view, with only two Money in the Bank ladder matches, I would be in favor of leaving it on the Wrestlemania card.
- When will Alberto Del Rio make his TV in ring debut?
Very soon; it could happen as soon as tonight's Smackdown taping in Laredo, Texas. Alberto Del Rio (Dos Caras Jr.) has been on the road for months working with producers and preparing for his in-ring debut with WWE. He has skipped the majority of the developmental process and received a good build upon coming in, it will be interesting to see if he can live up to the hype with his in-ring skills. No matter how many dark matches or house shows he works, nothing is like competing in matches taped for TV.
- Will The Nexus still be a stable or will they split after their 7-on-7 match at SummerSlam?
The match seems like the blow-off match to the faction, but as with anything, we'll see how it goes. WWE has stuck with The Nexus faction throughout the summer because of the increase in Raw's ratings but all gimmicks have a life. WWE needs to be careful how they book the 7-on-7 match because if Team Cena wins clean, The Nexus will be nothing more than the second version of The Spirit Squad and all their dominance on the Raw roster will have been wasted.
- Will superstars such as William Regal, Chavo Guerrero or even Goldust get one last push?
Anything is possible but I do not see future pushes for William Regal, Chavo Guerrero and Goldust. All three have jobs because they are veterans that can help the younger workers in WWE. They fill in when they are needed and have background roles.

JR Blog: Bret Hart Wedding | John Morrison | NWA Fanfest
Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:
"Congrats to WWE former Bret Hart on his marriage last Saturday. I am relatively sure Mr. and Mrs. Hitman are enjoying a Hawaiian honeymoon. Bret on Team Raw or the Raw 7 or whatever one chooses to call the team opposing Nexus, or the Nexus, adds to the sizzle of the presentation."
"I Tweeted @JRsBBQ that I liked WWE star John Morrison's new beard and that I thought it made him look a little more rugged. Morrison is a gifted athlete who has 'something' that physically reminds me of a young HBK. One can only hope that Morrison can begin to approach the success that Shawn Michaels earned but that's some king sized expectations. Nonetheless I think that Morrison can be a major player within WWE once his complete game comes together which simply takes time."
"Remember, I will be in Charlotte on Thursday night August 5 from 9 p.m. - 10 p.m. at the NWA Legends Fanfest at the kickoff BBQ. Event promoter Greg Price will have our sauces for sale and I will drop by for an hour, as it is has been scheduled, and look forward to the BBQ and meeting many of you. Then on Friday I will be around all day signing and taking photos before inducting the great, Danny Hodge into the Hall of Heroes before leaving Charlotte on Saturday morning."

Vince McMahon Says He's Ending His In-Ring Performances | Discusses Steroids | Linda's Senate Run | Much More
The Connecticut Post recently conducted a very lengthy interview with WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon. Vince began by addressing his wife's senate run by saying two things, "Very proud of my wife (and) I'm going to vote for her." Her campaign details were then detailed along with criticism of how WWE portrayed women in 2001 - 2003 during the 'attitude' era. Once instance of Vince McMahon getting Trish Stratus on her hands and knees to act like a dog, bark, and disrobe is mentioned.
While Vince's wife Linda considers him to be shy in crowds and a private person (as well as very family oriented), his adultery (which he admitted to in a 2001 interview with Playboy) is mentioned. Vince and Linda have been married for 43 years marrying when he was 20 and she was just 17.
Criticism of McMahon and the use of steroids inside WWE is mentioned. Since he considers professional wrestling entertainment he compares steroid testing to testing everyone on Broadway or even the circus. Vince also takes heat for not providing talent healthcare but he tells the publication the average pro wrestler can afford their own health insurance, with a company spokesperson claiming the average worker makes around $550,000 per year.
WWE discontinued drug testing in 1996 and did not bring it back until after the death of Eddie Guerrero in 2005. McMahon claimed that they simply could not afford the testing while battling financially with WCW. Vince told the publication, "I was really concerned about going out of business competing with Turner and we came close to it," McMahon said. "So better we be in business and have our performers being able to have a livelihood than being out of business."
Vince calls the Benoit tragedy a "tremendous shock" and considers it to be "the biggest black eye obviously we've ever had and difficult to overcome both psychologically as well as from a business point." Towards the end of the interview McMahon says that he is preparing to put an end to his performances in the ring.

Rey Mysterio Disappoints Fans At Recent Autograph Signing
Wrestling News World reader TJ sent the following:
So my son and I attended the autograph signing featuring WWE star Rey Mysterio. I must say fans were very disappointed as Rey was to be there from 9am to 11am. For whatever the radio statio Z95 got him there at 10:45. When he finally came out he signed maybe 10 autographs. He didn't really smile or say hi as he looked tired. After about 5 min security rushed him into his limo. He tried to sign more on his way out but security told us he had to leave. Very disappointing as it was very hot outside and my children were sweating and left disappointed.

Former WWE Diva Being Investigated In Wrestlers Rescue Project
Former WWE Diva Dawn Marie is being investigated for embezzling funds she collected over the last three years for the Wrestlers Rescue project. The organization was setup by Marie in her home state of New Jersey on September 14, 2008 and was intended to raise money to support the health care of retired professional wrestlers.
However, no one has received any money from the organization but Dawn Marie where she has allegedly used the funds to fly herself to autograph signings and conventions where she makes a profit. Attorneys for Marie have confirmed Wrestlers Rescue is not a registered charity.
Furthermore, there were funds collected to purchase a speaking device for "Dr. Death" Steve Williams but the device was not delivered to Williams before he died.
The organization website remains online at this link: http://dawnmarieonl.powweb.com/WrestlersRescue/index.htm.

Results Of WWE Monday Night Raw 26.07.2010 / 2010.07.26 / 07.26.2010
RAW this week starts with video of Nexus beating down Edge and Chris Jericho. Cena teased joining next. John Cena out facing them down, then calling his team to join them.
Cena’s music and he comes out to the ring. King says he feels like standing up and applauding Cena. After the music end there’s a lot of noise and much of it is heat. Sounds about half and half. Then the cheering gets louder. He said things are bigger in Texas. Seven weeks ago a group called Nexus, without any warning at all, came in and took over. Commentators, legends, cameramen. They’re doing it for reasons only known to them. Until last Monday, the RAW superstars said they had enough. Friends, enemies, doesn’t matter. They stood in the ring with one common goal. At SummerSlam, they face Nexus. At SummerSlam they beat Nexus. At SummerSlam they end Nexus! The fans like this. Cena says they’ve been running RAW because people think they invincible. At SummerSlam they defeat Nexus and show they’re not invincible. It’s about time because the more they terrorize RAW, them more power they get. With more power is more influence. With more influence they can take over the show. That will be the end of RAW. He’s not saying it’s going to be easy. They’re not the Super Friends. He’s not Superman (lol). He thinks he’s more of an Aquaman. Jericho and Edge are not Batman and Robin. Even the thought of Khali running around in Wonder Woman’s outfit, it’s just wrong. He photoshopped it. It was very, very disturbing. They don’t have to be the Justice League. Everyone on this team was chosen for a reason and he promises that at SummerSlam his team will hit the ring and Nexus will know… Jericho’s music cuts him off. Jericho out in a dark suit, dark shirt, lighter stripped tie. Cena says Jericho is on that SummerSlam team. “Y2J” chants fill the arena. Jericho says he was standing backstage, waiting, counting the minutes for Cena to say what he knew Cena would say, ‘my team’. Jericho’s on Cena’s team. All week long people have said they’re so happy he’s on Cena’s team. That he saw the light and found it in him to change his ways. Jericho wants to make it clear, to Cena and they hypocrites. He didn’t get involved in this to be a part of Cena’s team, to bask in the glory of a hero or to pander to a group of parasites. He got involved with this because of Nexus and Wade. He molded and shaped him to make Nexus. He knows Wade and Nexus better than Cena and is more qualified to lead this team. Therefore it’s his team, not Cena’s. Cena says fine. The team’s sold to Jericho for a low price. Call them whatever he wants. Alabaster Soft Shoes. Jumbo And The Tugboats. Chris Jericho And The Mudville Six. The Liontamers. Fozzy-A-Thon. You know why? He doesn’t care, just wants to beat Nexus. Jericho tells Cena to not patronize him, denigrate him with his sarcasm. This team lives and dies on his whims. They do what he says, what he wants to do, follow what he… Cena knocks the mic from Jericho’s hand. “Cena” chants! Cena says to get this straight. It ain’t about Jericho or Cena. It’s about this damn business. They took over the company. They get to whoever they want. Jericho does this because he loves the business. Does Jericho understand? He’s a man, time for gut check time. It’s the fourth quarter, time for a hail Mary, they have to do things they don’t do, coexist. Yes, Jericho knows Wade. Jericho is essential to this team, Cena will say it. Jericho thinks about this. “Y2J” chants seem to piss him off. Jericho grabs his mic and tells Cena never to knock the mic from his hand again. Second, he knows how essential he is and he’s the only chance the team has, having Jericho fighting beside Cena. But he knows more than Cena. He knows Nexus is a threat, but there’s a bigger threat and that’s Cena. Jericho says Cena’s more like Nexus than he thinks. He interrupts, says what he wants and does what he wants, but he does it with the support of these drones. Dances like a puppet on a string. After Nexus is gone fore good, Jericho’s going after Cena, to get rid of him. Either he’ll do it with his team or by himself, but he’ll do it. Does Cena understand. Cena says he’s standing right there and throws his mic down. Ding-Ding! Cena pulls his hat off and slams it down on the mat. Cole calls for attention and gets heat. “Cena, Jericho, your match against Nexus will be an Elimination Match. The team that removes all of the other team, wins. In a preview of SummerSlam, Nexus will face seven RAW superstars in an Elimination Match tonight. Their match at SummerSlam is all about teamwork. Let’s see how Cena and Jericho function as a team against opponents if GM’s choosing. If you’re not down with that, I have two words for you…”
Slam Of The Week - Last week Sheamus beat Evan Bourne.The Miz into the ring and hit the SCF on Sheamus, onto his case. Miz said he wanted to cash in. R-Truth came running out. Miz changed his mind and fled.

Orton ducks and Jimmy gets Sheamus’ big boot. RKO to Sheamus. “Awesome!” and Miz runs out with a ref. Miz is cashing in. the ref holds Miz back. The ref waits for Sheamus to get to his feet (a new one). Orton in and nails Miz with an RKO. When Orton gets to his feet he cusses like a drunken sailor with VD! I’m sure VKM won’t be happy that those words were caught on HD. Video of Orton’s attack on Miz. Orton poses in a corner.
Backstage Edge says on the one hand he can’t wait for SummerSlam and get back at Nexus. On the other he wished you (Ted) was on his team. Camera opens up to show Ted and Maryse. Cena told him he had this great plan. Yes, Great Khali’s great and powerful, but he’s clumsy, uncoordinated and not that bright. Maryse says they can’t understand him when he talks, then she speaks in French. Ted says after his match maybe Cena will realize Khali and Morrison shouldn’t be on the team. Edge agrees. Otherwise he’ll have to force Cena’s hand and take Khali out himself. Edge walks off, right past Singh who heard it all.
In the ring Miz and Sheamus are arguing off mic. Ding-Ding. Cole says he’s received another manager from the… another email from the GM. “I found the team to challenge Jericho and Cena. It will be the Miz and Sheamus. Good luck gentlemen.” Miz and Sheamus are pissed.
King and Cole talk about heading to SummerSlam. There’s so many great SummerSlam moments.

Edge on his cell, says people are seeing it his way. Khali in, Singh behind him and said he heard it all and told Khali. Edge says he didn’t say that and has nothing but respect for Khali. Edge tells Singh to translate. Khali speaks, Singh says that Khali thinks Edge is obnoxious, delusional and complete nincompoop. Khali challenges Edge to a match now. Edge says fine and if Edge beats Khali, he’s off the team, translate that!
Khali out to the ring. Singh in tow. Cole says he got word from the GM that King is going to be part of the 7 man team facing Nexus tonight in the Elimination Match. King has gone backstage to prepare. Edge out to face. Edge removes his shirt on the ramp and slides in looking nervous.

Wade says they just witnessed an act of total domination. Nexus has always been 100% behind a common purpose. Cena’s Team, or Jericho’s Team? The cracks are already starting to show. Crack caused by individual egos and agendas. “You suck” chants fill the arena. Wade assures that those cracks will destroy the very foundation of the team. Skip takes the mic and says Cena’s team is individuals - and can barely get the words out correctly and in the right order. He says that unlike Nexus, they don’t have a singular focus. No member of the team is willing to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the group like they would do and hand done. What they’re looking at is Nexus and they are unbreakable. Tarver grabs the mic and SummerSlam will be no different than tonight. They’ll eliminate them all until the last and he hopes it’s Cena. They’ll treat him like a piece of meat until they tear him apart and have their fill. Then it will be over, in more ways than one. They line up in the ring, all so proud of themselves. They leave the ring and head up the ramp, Wade the last of them, soaking up the heat.
