Location: Melbourne Victoria, Australia
Pozman sent this recap in:
JUST GOT HOME FROM THE MELBOURNE SHOW SO HERE’S SOME DETAILED RESULTS.
RING ANNOUNCER GIVES US THE UNDERTAKER LOW DOWN HOW HE IS OUT OF THE WWE, SHANE O MAC COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP AND TELLS US A DEAL HAS BEEN STRUCK AND THE DEAD MAN IS HERE, HUGE POP.
1. CHAVO (WITH BAM) VS CM PUNK
MASSIVE ROAR FOR CM PUNK, THIS IS THE TYPICAL CARD STARTER, A LOT OF TENSION BUILD IN THE CROWD WITH CHAVO GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE RING RIPPING ON THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM
AHH OUR FIRST “WANKER CHANT” IS HERE.
DECENT MATCH, A BIT SLOW THOUGH, CM PUNK WINS WITH THE GTS.
2. JAMIE NOBLE & SHANNON MOORE VS KOSLOV
THIS IS A SHOCKER OF A MATCH, HIGHLIGHTED ONLY BY A DOUBLE SOMOAN DROP ON NOBLE AND MOORE, ITS OVER QUICK. WHY THESE KIND OF MATCHES FIND THERE WAY ON CARDS LIKE THIS IS BEYOND ME. KOSLOV ACTUALLY MESSED UP OUTSIDE WHEN MOORE SUICIDE DIVED THROUGH THE ROPES AND KOSLOV DROPPED HIM.
KOSLOV BY PIN FALL
3. KOFI KINGSTON VS SHELTON BENJAMIN
I WAS REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS MATCH, AS I’VE SEEN SHELTON LIVE BEFORE, BUT A LOT OF HIS TRADE MARK STUFF LIKE LEAPING ON TO THE TOP ROPE IS NOT HERE, BOTH GO THROUGH THE ROUTINE A BIT. ANOTHER MISSED SPOT, BOTH LOOK LIKE THEY NEED TO SLEEP THE PLANE RIDE OFF! KOFI HITS HIS KICK AND ITS ALL OVER.
FUNNY NOTE – SOMEONE IN THE CROWD YELLS OUT WHEN ITS DEAD QUITE, “I LOVE THE SMELL OF KOFI IN THE MORNING” NICE TOUCH
KOFI BY PINFALL
4. VICTORIA WITH NATALYA VS MICHELLE McCOOL
KELLY KELLY COMES OUT AT THE START AND PLUCKS A YOUNG KID OUT OF THE CROWD HE IS OUR GUEST BELL RINGER, LUCKY LITTLE BASTARD.
DECENT MATCH, THE WOMENS DIVISION HAS COME ALONG WAY, MICHELLE McCOOL IS LOOKING VERY HOT, SHE PICKS UP THE WIN AS WELL TO A GOOD POP.
5. MIZ & MORRISON VS FINLAY & HORNSWOGGLE, TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
THIS MATCH BRINGS THE CROWD ALIVE, A REALLY WELL WORKED AND FUNNY MATCH. BIG POP FOR FINLAY & HORNSWOGGLE
MIZ GETS KNOCKED DOWN EARLY AND CRAWLS OVER TO MORRISON FOR A BIT OF SUPPORT, OH DEAR THAT LOOKS CLEARLY LIKE HE IS PERFORMING ORAL PLEASURES TO MORRISON AND THE CROWN ARE ON TO IT, THE “YOU ARE GAY” CHANTS ARE GOING FULL ON. MIZ AND MORRISON TRY TO PLAY IT DOWN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES MIZ GOES OVER TO MORRISON WHO IS LOOKING DISTRESSED AND TAPS HIM ON THE BUTT FOR SUPPORT, IT SENDS THE CROWN OVER THE TOP REAL FUNNY STUFF.
FINLAY GETS THE MIC AND GIVES IT TO THE CROWD, A KID TELLS MORRISON HE IS GAY!
GREAT TAG MATCH FINLAY TAKES MOST THE MATCH BEFORE HORNSWOGGLE IS TAGGED IN, HE EVENTUALLY GETS CAUGHT AND PULLS A WATER PISTOL FROM HIS PANTS AND WETS BOTH MIZ AND MORRISON!
END SEES MIZ LOW BLOW FINLAY AND MORRISON TAKES THE PIN, AFTER THE MATCH WE HAVE A 2 ON 1 AGAINST HORNSWOGGLE UNTIL FINLEY’S SHILALEE (IS THAT SPELT RIGHT?) EVENS THINGS UP.
MIZ & MORRISON BY PIN
6. MATT HARDY VS CHUCK PALUMBO, US CHAMPIONSHIP
OOPS THAT’S THE MIZ’S VIDEO TO MATTS MUSIC, HARDY OUT TO MASSIVE POP, REALLY OVER WITH THE CROWD, HERE COMES CHUCK ON THE BIKE, HAD TO TAKE MY NEPHEW TO THE TOILET HERE SO I MISSED A BIT OF THIS ONE, BACK JUST IN TIME FOR THE TWIST OF FATE.
HARDY RETAINS BY PIN
NOTE – APPARENTLY YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE AFTER BEING TAKEN OUT WITH A TWIST OF FATE!!
7. KANE & UNDERTAKER VS MVP & MARK HENRY
THIS IS A GREAT MATCH, HUGE HUGE HUGE OVATION FOR THE DEAN MAN. MARK HENRY DOMINATES A LOT OF THIS MATCH ESPECIALLY AGAINST KANE.UNDERTAKER TEASES OLD SCHOOL TOP ROPE A FEW TIMES DURING THE MATCH. TAKER GETS THE HOT TAG AT THE END AND CLEANS UP MVP, OLD SCHOOL, CHOKESLAM A QUICK DOUBLE CHOKESLAM ON HENRY AND THEN THE TOMBSTONE ON MVP THIS ONE IS OVER THE CROWDS IS FREAKIN OUT.
KANE & TAKER BY PIN
8. FUNAKI VS GREAT KHALI
OH BOY THIS ONE IS GOING NO WHERE, FUNAKI RUNS AROUND THE RING LIKE A LITTLE EXCITED PUPPY DOG, CHOP BY KHALI FUNAKI IS NOT MOVING, KHALI CRUSHES HIS SKULL AND ITS OVER, VERY VERY AVERAGE. ALTHOUGH KHALI IS ONE BIG SOB. CROWD DISAPOINTED BUT ACTUALLY CHEAR KHALI A BIT.
9. MAIN EVENT, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
EDGE VS BATISTA
IF EDGE IS NOT THE BEST “WHIMP HEAL” IN THE PAST 10-15 YEARS THEN I’LL GO, HE PLAYS HIS ROLL AWESOME, GREAT CHARACTER. EDGE IS RELUCTANT TO HAND OVER HIS BELT, HE GIVES IT A KISS, HANG ON ANOTHER ONE, AND MANY MORE, GOOD LORD HE’S PASHING HIS BELT!! FUNNY STUFF. FINALLY HE’S IN THE RING AND HE TOO IS PLAYING THE IN AND OUT ROUTINE. EDGE GRABS THE MIC AND SAYS ITS NOT HIS FAULT THAT THE GIRL OVER THERE IN THE CROWD WANTS HIM AND HE IS NOT A WANKER LIKE THE CROWD IS CALLING HIM, IN FACT FOLKS THE ARENA IS FULL OF WANKERS, HE IS GETTING GREAT HEAT.
BATISTA CHASES HIM AROUND THE RING AND THEN BACK IN IT. BATISTA STOPS IN THE MIDDELE BUT EDGE IS OUT THE OTHER SIDE HE STILL GOING, HE STOPS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP AND LOOKS BACK REALISING BATISTA IS NOT CHASING HIM. BATISTA HAS THE MIC NOW, HE SAYS 11,000 AUSTRALIANS CAN’T BE WRONG ABOUT YOU BEING A WANKER, HOWEVER HE’LL GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, HOWEVER HE IS A CHICKEN SHIT! KIDS COVER YOUR EARS!!
HUGE POP FROM THE CROWD FOR THIS, FOLLOWED FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT BY THE FOLLOW UP CHANT.
A DECENT MATCH WITH ALL THE SPOTS, A RUN IN AT THE STROKE OF THE 3 COUNT BY BAM & CHAVO SAVES EDGE’S BELT.
WITH HAVE A THREE ON ONE BEAT DOWN, LOOK OUT THE DEAD MAN IS HERE!! CROWD AGAIN GOING TOTALLY OFF TAP FOR THE DEAD MAN.
BAM, CHAVO AND EDGE LOOK READY TO TAKE ON TAKER, BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE CHAVO AND BAM BAIL ON EDGE LEAVING HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKER AND BATISTA, EDGE STARTS TO PANIC, HE PUTS BOTH HANDS UP ON HIS HEAD LIKE BLINKERS SO HE CAN’T SEE THEM, FUNNY. LOOK OUT IT IS THE OLD HANDSHAKE PROPOSAL AND LETS TAG TEAM THE TAKER BY EDGE, THUMBS DOWN BY BATISTA AND THE BEATING IS ON. TAKER DOTS THE I WITH A TOMBSTONE.
TAKER LEAVES, AND BATISTA PLAYS UP TO THE CROWD.
GREAT NIGHT A BIT SLOW TO START BUT THE QUALITY OF THE MAIN EVENTERS MAKES IT ALL WORTH WHILE.
TAKER EASILY GETS THE BEST POP. ABSOULTLY INCREDDIBLE FEELING GETTING TO WATCH HIM LIVE.
EDGE GETS GREAT HEAT, HE CARRIES THE HEAL ROSTER SO WELL, YOU JUST HAVE TO ADMIRE THE WAY THIS GUY HAS DEVELOPED HIS CHARACTER OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME IN MELBOURNE WWE!
