WWE Smackdown Results: 1-5-07

WWE.com: Direct Link

Race against time
By Lennie DiFino
January 5, 2007

Mr. Kennedy kicked off his 2007 by becoming the man with the time to outdo in the first ever SmackDown Beat the Clock Sprint.

The first edition of Friday Night SmackDown of the new year played host to the Beat the Clock Sprint. General Manager Theodore Long began the night by telling WWE fans in attendance that the match-ups would all be random with the eventual winner facing the World Heavyweight Champion at Royal Rumble. As he explained, the winner of the Beat the Clock Sprint would be the Superstar that wins their match in the fastest time.

World Heavyweight Champion Batista was welcomed to the ring by Long. The Animal smiled and explained how much he was looking forward to the challenge. “I love it. I want to be in the ring with the best. I will keep fighting as hard as I can to keep my title.”

The first match in the Beat the Clock Sprint was Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero. Kane defeated Chavo, and set the pace for the night at 7 minutes 53 seconds.

The next match pitted one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London against his tag team partner and fellow champion Brian Kendrick. The two Superstars high-octane, fast-paced styles left the crowd in amazement, but were not enough to beat the time set by Kane.

On a mission to regain the championship he lost at Survivor Series, King Booker defeated Gregory Helms in 6 minutes 24 seconds to establish the new time to beat. After the match, Boogeyman continued his stalking of Helms, and the Cruiserweight Champion was laid out and wormed.

Jimmy Wang Yang nearly beat Tatanka and the time set by King Booker, but as the referee counted the pin, the buzzer sounded. As Yang stood in disbelief, Tatanka delivered a vicious assault from behind, leaving the resident redneck in the middle of the ring.

In the final match of the night in the Beat the Clock Sprint, Mr. Kennedy battled United States Champion Chris Benoit, the man who defeated him for the title. Kennedy took advantage of an exposed turnbuckle, and pinned Benoit at 5 minutes 7 seconds to secure the top time in the Beat the Clock Sprint.

Montel Vontavious Porter made his first appearance since Armageddon, still showing the effects of burns received in the Inferno Match. MVP questioned General Manager Theodore Long, asking, “Do you realize what you took from me?”

The young Superstar explained, “the pain and suffering I have been enduring would pale in comparison to the pain and suffering I would have tolerated if I allowed you to stop me from fulfilling my destiny in becoming World Heavyweight Champion.” Next week, Porter will get his opportunity, as he has been announced to take part in the Beat the Clock Sprint.

Jillian took on Ashley, but not before she revealed her plans to disfigure her. Since Ashley was named cover girl for Playboy’s April issue, Jillian has become insanely jealous of the attention Ashley has been receiving. On this edition of SmackDown, Ashley would once again get the upper hand, defeating Jillian.

Former Diva search finalist Maryse surprised WWE fans as a video of the sultry beauty speaking French was shown. What does the appearance by Maryse mean for SmackDown?

Finally, an extremely emotional Vickie Guerrero expressed her sadness to Kristal over her current situation. “Things are rough for me right now. Chris Benoit turned his back on me and my own nephew (Chavo) turned his back on me,” she said. Vickie is still nursing an injured neck caused by Benoit, and she told fans how lost she feels.

Next week on SmackDown, four more Superstars will look to establish the winning time for the Beat the Clock Sprint: Matt Hardy, Finlay, MVP and Undertaker. Will these World Heavyweight Champion hopefuls be able to beat the time Mr. Kennedy has set and move on to Royal Rumble to challenge Batista?

Paul London versus Brian Kendrick (No contest)

dispite my love for DX, the two funniest things/people are on TNA:

1: the PCS tornament...proof that you can even make Senshi/Low Ki look funny...and Kevin Nash with Alex Shelly and Austin Aries (im not calling him "Starr" yet...) is comedy gold.

2: Eric Young...i get a big kick outta him everytime he perfectly pops up from under the camera. plus his talks with Jeremy Borash always tend to be funny.

JB: "...are you a virgin, Eric?"
EY: "No, I'm from Kansas."

btw, I enjoyed that Joe-Angle free-for-all as well...but 30 minute Iron Man match?? if it were the usual "1 hour", then i'd be cool with it, but as someone from PWT said: "Do we really need more time for VKM?"
unless VKM actually does something cool soon, then im calling boycott.
(...not really, i'll just think they suck.)

My fav moment from the PSC tourny was when Jay Lethal asked Shelly why he didn't want to stick his ass in Senshi's face like he did with everyone else and the look on Shelly's face was priceless.

And it'd be nice if TNA sold their dvd's in stores other then wal-mart or if maybe it's just Best Buy being some picky mofos cause I really wanted to pick up the last two.

WWE New Year’s Revolution PPV Results: 1-7-07

1 -- JEFF HARDY vs. JOHNNY NITRO (w/Melina) - IC Title match

I joined this match in progress due to my wonderful Comcast Cable system. Nitro climbed to the top of the cage, then got knocked upside down and hung from his ankles. As Hardy moved up to beat on him, Melina rammed his fingers. A few minutes later, Nitro climbed the top of the cage as Hardy crawled toward the door. Melina blocked the cage door so Hardy couldn't escape. The ref pushed Melina away. Hardy shoved the cage door open just as Nitro dropped down, resulting in Nitro crotching the cage door. Hardy then crawled out of the door to win.

WINNER: Hardy in 16:00 (estimated) to retain the IC Title.

STAR RATING: What I saw looked good. Only saw second half as of now. Good finish.

-Todd Grisham interviewed Rated RKO backstage. Edge said he and Randy Orton teamed together to take DX out of WWE. He said that unlike Big Show and the McMahons, they plan to stick around. "Their run is over," said Edge. Orton said, "Michaels took a double RKO on a chair, opening his skull for blood to flow everywhere." He said they're beating up DX not just because they don't like them, but for their future and their livlihoods. Edge said history will show that their reunion was fun while it lasted and sold a lot of t-shirts. He vowed to put a painful and definitive end to DX tonight. Solid promo. Edge came across as the leader.

WWE New Year’s Revolution PPV Results: 1-7-07

2a -- SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS vs. THE HIGHLANDERS - Tag Team Turmoil

WINNERS: Benjamin & Haas in 4:00.

2b -- HACKSAW DUGGAN & SUPER CRAZY vs. HAAS & BENJAMIN

If Haas & Benjamin are the World's Greatest Tag Team, what's the team name of Duggan & Crazy? Lots of "hooos" from the crowd for Duggan. Duggan opened, then tagged in Crazy at 2:00 who went to work on Haas with a flurry of offense. Benjamin interfered leading to a win for Haas on Crazy with a bridge.

WINNERS: Haas & Benjamin in 3:00.

2c -- HAAS & BENJAMIN vs. LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH

Cade looks like he ate Shannon Moore and then absorbed his facial features. Bad things are happening to him physically compared to two years ago, so whatever he's doing, he should stop. He doesn't look quite human or healthy anymore. But he is bigger! Haas hit a top rope dropkick on Cade at 4:00. Then Murdochh tagged in. Haas applied a leglock that torqued the body. Cool hold. As the ref turned to Benjamin, Cade came off the ropes with a forearm to Haas leading to Murdoch scoring the pin with his arm draped over his chest.

WINNERS: Cade & Murdoch.

2d -- CRYME TYME vs. CADE & MURDOCH

Cade & Murdoch hit a high-low on JTG at 2:00. They continued to dominate for a few minutes, including illegal double-team chokes. JTG surprised Murdoch with a small package, but the ref was distracted. Cade interfered to break it up. Murdoch got caught with a boot to the face as he leaped off the top rope toward JTG. JTG then hot-tagged Shad. Cryme Tyme dominated for a minute and went right to their finisher on Cade for the win.

WINNERS: Cryme Tyme in 5;00 (21:00 overall).

STAR RATING (**)

-Vince McMahon backstage told Coach that civility is missing from the world with Donald Trumpe and Rosie O'Donnell exchanging insults. Coach said it sounds like something coming out of "the WWE." McMahon suggested they resolved it the way everything should be resolved, with physical abuse. Vince offered Donald vs. Rosie on Raw tomorrow night. "I can make that happen," he said. Coach said he's brilliant. "Think about the television ratings!" said Vince. Coach said nobody says "You're fired" like he does.

Then Ron Simmons walked out and pointed at his t-shirt and said, "Damnn!"

-At ringside, Lawler talked to Ross as if it was a sure thing that Donald vs. Rosie was going to happen.

3 -- KENNY DYKSTRA vs. RIC FLAIR

Dykstra came out in feather-boa lined robe. After clips aired of Dykstra beating up Flair, Dykstra said Flair was too injured to fight. Instead, Flair's music played and out he walked in an elaborate hot-pink robe. Ross said Flair won three of his titles before Dykstra was born. At 4:00 Dykstra applied a Boston Crab on Flair. Flair eventually reached the bottom rope to force a break. Dykstra went for a figure-four, but Dykstra turned it into an inside cradle for a two count. Flair went to the top rope, but Dykstra slammed him from the top. Flair came back with a clip of his legs, then applied the figure-four 9:00. That got a rise out of the fans. Dykstra dropped his shoulder down for a two count. Dykstra eventually reached the bottom rope to force a break. Flair released quickly and then chopped Dykstra in the corner. The ref scolded Flair for not breaking. Dykstra surprised Flair with a low blow, then small packaged Flair for the win. "Are you kidding me? Three in a row!" said a disgusted Ross.

WINNER: Dykstra in 10:00.

STAR RATING: *3/4

5 -- TRIPLE H & SHAWN MICHAELS vs. RANDY ORTON & EDGE

Triple H said they're showing the fans the sugary side of DX. Michaels said everybody likes the sugary side. Hunter said in a minute they're going to see the ass-kicking side of DX like they've never seen before. He finished with, "Let's get ready to suck it!" Michaels did his bit, then RKO came out. DX met RKO on the rampway. DX dominated early. After a minute of ringside brawling, they entered the ring to officially start the match at 9:30 ET. Michaels rammed Edge into the turnbuckle, and a second earlier audibly told Edge, "Into the turnbuckle." Sid-like in its sublety. Rated RKO dominated for several minutes early until Hunter hot-tagged Michaels at 8:00. He hit a top rope elbow on Edge, but Orton interfered before the pin attempt. Hunter entered the ring to clear the ring of Orton. Michaels then backdropped Edge over the top rope. Michaels hit a top rope flip onto both heels. If they had a commercial to get in, it would have come here. Hunter looked down at the pile of wrestlers from the second rope. Michaels ran toward that top rope for the dive rather gingerly. Edge speared Michaels off the ring apron to the floor. Orton KO'd Michaels with the belt. Hunter then came to Michaels's rescue at ringside. Michaels came up bleeding heavily from the mat. Michaels crawled his way back onto the ring apron. Edge punched away at him. Time for a sustained beating on Michaels. At 17:00 Hunter got a hot-tag. He clotheslined Edge over the top rope, then gave Orton a spinebuster for a two count. Hunter hurt his right leg badly on the move. He could barely stand. He manageed to stand and give Edge another spinebuster. The crowd knew it was a real injury. He went for a Pedigree, but Orton gave him an RKO. Hunter couldn't go up for it. Michaels then surprised Orton with a superkick. Edge kneed Michaels from behind. Hunter lay still in the ring clutching his leg. Edge covered him and scored a two count. Hunter kicked out, but barely moved. Hunter crawled over to his corner and stood. Edge went for a spear. Hunter moved. Hunter could barely stand, but he went for a Pedigree. Orton entered with a chair. The ref saw him and Orton retreated at the last second. Awkward spot. Hunter made the cover, but Edge kicked out. Michaels ran into the ring and speared Orton offf the ring apron to the floor. Back in the ring, Michaels hit the ref and grabbed a chair. He rammed Edge with it, then Orton. Orton came up bleeding very badly. Hunter stood and swung a chair at Edge. Hunter bashed Edge on the mat over and over as Michaels bashed Orton over and ovber. Hunter's left leg kept giving out as he swung the chair. Orton twitched as Edge lay KO'd on the mat. Michaels threw the top off the Spanish announce table. Hunter threw Edge to the floor. Then he threw Orton to the floor, but continued to move extremely gingerly. Hunter pretended to lift Edge onto the table, but Edge actually lifted himself onto the table himself. Michaels put Orton on the table. Hunter managed to stand on the table and set up a Pedigree. When he went for it, the table didn't break. Michaels climbed to the top rope and dove off with an elbow onto the bloodied Orton. That did break the table. Hunter stood on the English announce table as the heels lay knocked out. Hunter seemed to be computing the new WrestleMania main event possibilities in his head without him. Michaels also seemed a step off throughout the match.

WINNERS: Rated RKO via DQ (presumably, no decision was announced) in 22:00.

STAR RATING: **3/4 -- Okay formula match with good intensity for the first 15 minutes, but nothing spectacular. The finish was a mess as Hunter, probably unwisely, finished the match on his injured knee. Amateur assesment is that Hunter will be out for a long time and miss WrestleMania based on the way his leg buckled and got trapped on the Pedigree and how he worked the rest of the match. Michaels looked like he's ready for a few months off, too.

Forgot #4:

4 -- MICKEY JAMES vs. VICTORIA - Women's Title match

Melina interfered on Victoria's behalf, but Victoria went for a Widow's Peak, but Mickey reversed into a sunset flip for a near fall. Mickey countered a powerslam with a DDT for the win. Meanwhile, Candice and Maria ran out to stop Melina from interfering further.

WINNER: Mickey in 7:00 to retain the Women's Title.

STAR RATING: *1/2

6 -- CHRIS MASTERS vs. CARLITO (w/Torrie Wilson and Chloe the dog)

Carlito hit a nice double springboard moonsault at 2:00 for a near fall. Masters went for a Masterlock, but Carlito suplexed out of it. Pretty much out of nowhere Masters dropped down on Carlito's shoulders and grabbed his tights to score the pin. Afterward, Masters applied the Masterlock. Ross noted the hold has "never been officially broken." Ross said the ref could reverse the decision. Masters eventually released the hold and returned.

WINNER: Masters in 5:00.

STAR RATING: *1/4

7 -- JOHN CENA vs. UMAGA - WWE Hvt. Title match

Cena got in early offense, then ducked an Umaga charge and Umaga spilled to the floor. Umaga then went on sustained offense. He gave Cena a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam, which Ross heavily praised. At 9:00 Cena caught Umaga with a knee to the crotch as Umaga dropped down on him. Cena lifted Umaga, but he couldn't hold hi and he fell forward with Umaga landed on his head. Umaga knocked Cena out of the ring. Back in the ring, Umaga settled into a nerve hold. Cena eventually powered out and kicked Umaga in the gut. When he charged at Umaga, Umaga countered with a hammer to the face, taking Cena down and out. Umaga sat on the top rope, then dove at him with a spike. Cena moved. The ref began counting both men down. They got up and had a slugfest. Cena hit two clotheslines, but Umaga didn't go down. On the third clothesline attempt, Umaga punched him in the chest at 14:00. Cena came back with a slam, then he began his You Can't See Me sequence. He hit the fistdrop. Umaga came back with a side suplex before he could hit the FU. Umaga then hung Cena upside down in the corner of the ring and hit him with a flying headbutt. When Umaga charged Cena in the corner, Cena moved and then rolled up Umaga for a clean leverage three count. Umaga threw a fit at ringside.

WINNER: Cena in 17:00 to retain the WWE Title.

STAR RATING: **1/2 -- A little one dimensional with the sustained beatdown by Umaga. Not bad. Perhaps satisfying for most WWE fans given the hype for Umaga as "unbeatable."

dude that match between DX and RKO was bullshit. RKO is the better wrestling team hands down. if how they destroyed shawn michaels constantly didn't show us that. but of course when you're having two badguy teams fight eac hother the only thing that will give the win is whoever pulls something illegal first. thank god RKO didn't do it first and they let DX do it and RKO still got the win. fuckin DX fags, and fuck ric flair. kenny>ric flair

HHH suffers Quad Tear at NYR

Triple H Injures Quad At New Year's Revolution

Triple H suffered an injury during his match against Rated-RKO at New Year's Revolution. The preliminary diagnosis is a possible quadriceps tear. Triple H will be flown to Birmingham, Alabama in the morning to be evaluated by Dr. James Andrews. WWE.com has posted multiple backstage photos of Triple H and the medical attention he received following the World Tag Team Title Match at New Year's Revolution between Rated RKO and DX. We will have more updates on this story as it develops, it appears right now that Triple H will miss a substantial amount of time.

I guess this means the end of DX. Thank god, DX was completely lame. Stop living in the past and move forward.

And to officially confirm it:

WWE.com: Link to article

Triple H tears quadriceps tendon
Written: January 8, 2007
Following an MRI with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. on Monday, Triple H was diagnosed with a ruptured quadriceps tendon.

Officially, The Game suffered a tear of one of the four tendons in his right quadriceps. The injury occurred during DX's match with Rated-RKO at New Year's Revolution. Surgery will be performed on Tuesday in Alabama, and WWE doctor Ferdinand Rios estimates that The Game will need four to six months to rehabilitate the injury.

While he was in a tremendous amount of pain prior to the MRI, Triple H was said to be in great spirits.

Stay tuned to WWE.com for further updates.

His last quad tear was on the left. More modest projections on his return are in the neighborhood of 9 months, like last time.

WWE.com / RAW Preview

Written: January 8, 2007
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has never been so proud to present live on Raw the “match” – Donald Trump vs. Rosie O’Donnell.

“This is the equivalent of Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, Stone Cold vs. The Rock, Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant,” McMahon said.

Using his vast influence, Mr. McMahon contacted both parties last night and both agreed to meet in the ring to settle their issue once and for all. When reached for comment, Trump was characteristically blunt.

“I don’t back down from a challenge. Rosie may host The View, but the only “view” she’s going to be seeing is me beating her butterball ass.”

Miss O’Donnell could not be reached for comment. Sources say she was consulting with her personal physician about possible gastric bypass surgery.

From Hollywood to Wall Street to the Nation’s Capital, the scorching hostility between The Donald and the Entertainment Queen will have all eyes on the USA Network tonight. While no one knows who will win, one thing is certain: EVERYONE has an opinion.

Barbara Walters, Rosie’s co-host on The View, was adamant in her opinion, saying “I’m 100 percent behind Rosie. Donald Trump claims I can’t stand Rosie but nothing can be further from the truth," Walters continued. "Just because she’s brash, opinionated, steals the spotlight from the other women on The View, belches without covering her mouth and leaves the toilet seat up… come to think of it, I hope Trump wipes the floor with her. That way maybe he can tell her what I’ve been dying to - You’re Fired!”

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh was reached for comment, and he stated “I can relate to both Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump. I mean, I’m overweight AND have bad hair. I see this match as a draw.”

Kevin Federline, a celebrity who has experience in the squared circle, had another opinion entirely.

“All I know is, I hope Rosie has the decency to wear underwear.”

And Paris Hilton had a unique perspective entirely.

“Wrestling? Is that like where the people fight each other? That is sooo barbaric. That’s what the dinosaurs did. Dinosaurs are stupid. What was the question again?”

The hype and animosity of this issue has reached unprecedented heights, all the way up to the President of the United States. When reached for comment, President Bush said, “I just hope this match ends definitively and soon. There’s nothing worse than a conflict that lasts and lasts with no end in sight and no clear exit strategy.”

With the nation’s appetite clamoring for resolution, Mr. McMahon’s plan to bring these media titans together is being hailed as a promotional stroke of genius.

“THIS is what America is all about,” the Chairman of WWE said. “Two out of control egomaniacs beating the holy hell out of each other. It will be brutal, it will be ugly, it might even be disgusting but it will be LIVE Monday Night at 9 p.m. ET on USA’s MONDAY NIGHT RAW!”

ECW Star Set For Massive Push, Details Inside:

Posted by Ryan Clark on January 03, 2007

The Great Khali is expected to receive a huge push as we head closer to WrestleMania, according to PWInsider.

His program against Tommy Dreamer has been done to design Khali as a huge monster. It is apparently written in pencil that at WrestleMania we'll see Khali vs. Lashley for the ECW title.


What a shitty match that's going to be for Wrestlemania. Lashley who is a powerhouse and can't put on a match, and Great Khali who can't wrestle and just has size. Wrestlemania 23 is headed for disaster. :oh_no:


well things may change :spock: Khali is on raw now :conf:

Umaga spikes back
By Noah Starr
January 8, 2007

Just 24 hours after ending Umaga’s nine-month undefeated streak, John Cena was left lying by the Samoan Bulldozer in St. Louis.

The show started out with a statement from Cena, the first man to ever defeat The Samoan Bulldozer. The WWE Champion addressed the statements made by Umaga’s manager Armando Estrada that Cena’s win at New Year’s Revolution was just a fluke.

Cena was sore and banged up, but still prepared to take on Umaga again for the WWE Championship. Mr. McMahon’s Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman had other plans in mind for The Champ, however. Coachman explained that one of the best things about the new year is that contracts expire. Coachman was able to sign a Superstar to Raw with an impressive record on both SmackDown and ECW. Raw’s “newest acquisition” was none other than The Great Khali.

Weighing in at 420 pounds, Khali is nearly twice the size of The Champ, but that didn’t deter Cena from facing the Punjab warrior in a non-title match. With Armando Estrada at ringside, The Champ, who seemed to be operating at less than 100 percent, took a huge beating from the behemoth that is Khali. When Estrada introduced a steel chair into the action, Cena was disqualified after using it on his enormous opponent. Still furious from his only loss, Umaga then seized the opportunity, entering the ring and delivering a Samoan Spike to a dazed Cena. As Raw went off the air, The Champ seemed to be in dire straits.

After an incredibly brutal match with DX at New Year’s Revolution that left Triple H with a ruptured quadriceps tendon, Edge and Randy Orton held their own victory celebration. Although the duo seemed to be in rough shape, they appeared proud of their so-called victory. Edge summed up their battle at New Year’s Revolution by saying that “last night wasn’t a wrestling match, last night was a war,” to which Orton added that “Rated-RKO has done what no one else has been able to do: end DX!”

Edge vowed to destroy the other half of DX in a Handicap Match next week on Raw. Just then, a bruised and saddened Shawn Michaels entered the arena to chants of “HBK” from the crowd. HBK promised to be by his best friend Triple H’s side during his surgery, but promised that when he returned, he would deal with Rated-RKO.

Mr. McMahon used his formidable influence to pit celebrity rivals Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell against each other. Rosie and Trump have been at each other’s throats in the media lately and when they finally met in the ring, the fudge flew. Trump finished Rosie off with a flying hair butt as Vince McMahon looked on in approval.

In other Raw action, Jeff Hardy thwarted Kenny Dykstra’s attempt to become the youngest Intercontinental Champion in history. Hardy seemed sore from his Steel Cage Match with Johnny Nitro only 24 hours before, but the champion persevered. Dykstra appeared to get his comeuppance when Ric Flair entered the match; with the referee distracted by Hardy’s tussle with Johnny Nitro, Flair delivered a low blow to Dykstra, which helped Hardy pick up the three count on Kenny. The rivalry between Flair and Dykstra will no doubt continue well into 2007.

Victoria and Melina got some revenge for Victoria’s New Year’s Revolution loss by defeating WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James and Maria. At the pay-per-view, Mickie retained her WWE Women’s Championship against Victoria. Melina and Victoria tried to cut a deal ensuring a win for Victoria and a title opportunity for Melina, but it backfired when the Divas on Victoria’s list came to Mickie’s aid and helped her secure her New Year’s Revolution win. This time however, Victoria & Melina came out on top.

Carlito defeated Chris Masters in a New Year’s Revolution rematch with a little help from the beautiful Torrie Wilson. While the referee was distracted, Torrie slammed Masters with the ring bell giving her man the upper hand.

Also, Cryme Tyme defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, proving that JTG’s grill is not their only way of putting their money where their mouths are. With their win at New Year’s Revolution in the Five-Team Tag Team Turmoil Match, Cryme Tyme earned themselves an opportunity at the World Tag Team Championship and their winning combination of athleticism and technical teamwork shows no sign of slowing.

Most likely it'll be at Wrestlemania.

My thanks to you, fatal fury fan #2 for printing the results. After drinking a half bottle of Ny-Quil, I was out like a light and went to bed early.

I tuned into Raw to see Trump vs. Rosie

I changed the channel as soon as I saw that

Screw you Vince

last night was another instance of proof that Vince McMahon (and his writing team) are the biggest embarassment in the wrestling community today.

also, i'd just like to say that im not a "mark" for DX. for me, it's just like wrestling these days in general: i like it when it's actually good and for the fun of it, otherwise its just there to watch cuz i got nothing else to do. nor do i really care.
