    OCTOBER 2009

    MAIN EVENTS - RAW

    10th/ 11th in Terre Haute and Toledo it’s of course still Randy Orton vs John Cena for the WWE title (DQ finish). 16th-18th the same match in Huntsville, Columbus GA and Dothan is interrupted by run-ins and becomes Cena & Triple H vs Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr. 24th at State College the night before Bragging Rights Cena, MVP and Mark Henry beat Legacy atop the cross-brand supershow (which only draws 4000).

    THE CARDS

    MVP & Mark Henry vs Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase starts the month and the goodies are actually winning, the week after MVP is back losing to Jack Swagger. US title with Kofi Kingston vs The Miz continues for two weeks either side of the title change. Mickie James vs Beth Phoenix takes place for the Womens belt twice more then (bear with me) the week after its Melina vs Jillian Hall in title rematches (see TVs). Evan Bourne vs Chavo Guerrero Jr continues for two weeks as does Chris Masters vs Santino, it's Swagger vs Primo in Terre Haute and Huntsville, Columbus and Dothan its Primo vs Heath Slater (he's got kids).

    VARIATIONS

    In Terre Haute its Jamie Noble vs Slater - in Toledo Swagger beats Primo and Noble in a handicap. In Huntsville there's no MVP so as well as beating Primo, Swagger gets added to Miz vs Kofi, plus it's Bourne vs Slater and Chavo wearing a blindfold loses to Hornswoggle. In cross brand matches at State College Noble jobs for Matt Hardy, Miz loses by DQ to John Morrison with neither title at stake and Rosa Mendes tags with Katie Lea to lose to The Bella Twins.

    MAIN EVENTS - SMACKDOWN 

    10th-12th Taker isn’t there so it’s Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk announced as a top contenders match in Huntington, Bristol TN and Pikeville KY. 15th in Monterrey and 18th in the second night in Mexico City The Undertaker defends the belt against Punk, 16th in Puebla Taker and Batista beat Punk and Kane, 17th at the Sports Palace Taker, Dave and Rey beat Punk, Kane and Chris Jericho.

    THE CARDS

    Matt Hardy vs Kane is still (back) on. John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler rolls on for the ICT, then in Mexico Matt is thrown into the mix. Early month we have an ECW six man of Christian, Tommy Dreamer & Hurricane vs William Regal, Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov then in Mexico Christian defends the belt against Regal. Through Mexico its Michelle McCool vs Mickie James (suddenly moved brands) for their Womens title. We have R-Truth vs Drew McIntyre and continuation of the long-running Cryme Tyme vs Hart Dynasty (literally every house show of the month) plus Sheamus vs Shelton Benjamin repping ECW, in Mexico Fit Finlay swaps wins with Drew and Jackson squashes Hurricane.

    VARIATIONS

    Starting at the top - its Batista & Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho & Kane in Monterrey and Ziggler & Kane second night in Mexico City. In Bristol only Raw's Melina (huh?) tags with Eve Torres to beat the Bellas, in Pikeville Savannah (who??) beats Katie Lea. Second night only at Mexico Sports Palace its JoMo vs Matt in singles, Christian vs Jackson, Regal vs Hurricane and they fly Natalya over to add to the Womens title match for the sake of having something different. I'm sure she was worth the plane fare.

    TVs

    Dark at Hell In A Cell Matt Hardy, who was pinning the champ on TV not long ago, pins Mike Knox. This being the PPV where Punk drops the title to Taker in the midst of the dress code brouhaha and Orton regains the WWE title from Cena. Next night opening with Noble beating Slater and Miz continues his gradual rise up the card by beating Kofi for the US belt. Next night in Trenton Slater jobs for Jimmy Wang Yang. 12th in Indianapolis Noble loses to Primo, Mickie loses the belt to the awful Jillian in barely a minute, then Hall faces and loses the title to the back-from-injury Melina in less than 30 seconds. Why the whole segment time couldnt have been allotted to one match between James and Melons (which still would have clocked in as short) if they were that desperate to get the belt back on Melly escapes me. Maria Menounos actually wrestles (not for the last time) in a six woman tag with Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim against Beth/Mendes/Alicia Fox and real Groundhog Day stuff see Cena and Orton forced to team AGAIN vs Legacy which ends with Randy attacking Cena, as always. Next night in Lexington Rey pins Batista in disputable manner continuing the simmer for their eventual split and dark, Taker pins Punk. 19th in Jacksonville, Miz beats Marty Jannetty in a match booked by guest GM Snoop Dogg as a direct consequence of Miz' comments to JoMo previously about who had been the "Marty Jannetty" of their team. And if you think this would be an ideal booking tactic if they were planning to run Miz vs HBK... you'd be right - they’ll be thinking about Shawn vs Miz for Mania 26 until HBK decides to retire as opposed to just taking April to August off as first thought. Plus Hunter pins Cena in a match you forgot about. Next night in Columbia SC, on ECW Y2J's first selfless job of the month is to former C-Square buddy Christian, SmackDown has Matt, Finlay, Truth and the Harts win a handicap over Ziggler, Drew, Eric Escobar and JTG to replace them (and Shad) in the big teams match at Bragging Rights....  story goes Vince changed it from Jericho, Kane, Cryme Tyme etc to Jericho, Kane, Matt, the Dynasty, Truth and Finlay because he didnt think it stood up to Raw's team. Read into that what you will, given that Ziggler was supposed to have won the ICT by now and Drew will get a well-remembered push as the "chosen one." To be fair, either version looks a bit crap considering DX is on the other side. Also Taker beats Punk in a submission match you forgot. Bragging Rights has a dark match too - Christian beats Paul Burchill, the show on which Cena gets the belt back and Batista turns on Rey. Next in Buffalo Y2J loses ANOTHER TV match (yet again) to Kofi and dark Cena, Kofi and DX beat Legacy and Show. Finally 27th in Rochester Goldust beats Burchill before the show, ref Scott Armstrong is forced to wrestle Punk, and dark Taker pins Punk to retain the belt again.

    NON TITLE WHINING

    Beaten on TV this month : JeriShow (Tag team champions) by DX.

    DEPARTURE

    It's got no bearing on road results but it was a massive deal at the time - Shane McMahon steps down as EVP of Global Media. Allegedly unhappy about being supplanted by Hunter as heir apparent, it will be years before he's back on the payroll.

    And now you know.

    Good lord, 2009 Miz vs HBK.

    Does seem very odd from the Coffee shops perspective at least

    So they made a coffee and just left it on the counter for 45 mins and when you came in and gave your name they gave you what would be a very obviously Cold Coffee by that point?

    Surely it makes sense for them to just make it when you came in 

    As someone who doesn't drink coffee is that a normal thing where Coffee shops take orders like that and just make them immediately and leave them for ages until the customer comes in? 

    As others said it sounds a more misguided gesture, where the thought was in the right place but executed poorly or she assumed the coffee shop would make it when you arrived at least

    I've seen it in Starbucks at least. They leave it on the counter, until someone picks it up. I forget sometimes mine is on there and i panic and think I've taken someone elses.

    Best thing he’s ever done is mug off Triple H worse then Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 12. Turn that up to eleven. The con artist, scamming millions out of the company that originally sacked him. Pumping out absolute dross, taking zero bumps and laughing all the way to the bank. Not sure how you turn that into a pro-wrestling gimmick but it’s genuinely one of the biggest babyface moves of the last decade.

    This, Honestly. I kinda hope he doesn't come back, not just because he's a talentless tosser. But also because he fucked off after he got the bag.

  4. He can be fired again. He peaked with his return last year. Then it went downhill. Like it always does. Either make him cult Bray or tell him to fuck off and he can go do shit movies nobody will watch.

    Taking a break from Zelda and bought No More Heroes for half price on the Switch, batshit mad and the main character trained in wrestling with Stu Hart?!

    Named after the song by The Stranglers too.

    I'm not here trying to diagnose people or whatever but he's always seemed - both in the DSoTR episode and a bunch of different interviews he's done elsewhere - to be not quite right, which is hardly a surprise given the shit he's gone through. Didn't Jericho and Chavo have to step in once or twice to stop some carny independent promotors taking advantage of him?

    Yes. I just don't think it does him any favours to think he can be front row at a show and being interacted with. He needs to stay away from this damn seedy business. Because yeah, he seems off but hey, who can blame him? The things he's had to deal with.

     

  7. Solo's good, but he can't be the break out star, He hasn't cut a proper promo. He's said some lines but never a full on promo since his call up. I reckon Heyman will manage him when he goes.....Solo.
