Our first entrant is a guy I’ve known since high school, where he and I just didn’t get along. Through time and a crazy ex-girlfriend of mine, we reconnected and found out we got along. We became friends and ended up working at the same comicbook store together… here’s the man we call…. ERIC!

Thanks Eric!

We start up with an intro of Martin Luther King…
“Wait.. he didn’t wrestle?!” – Hernandez

‘I have a dream…’
“WHAT!?” – Bill

“So is this Shelton’s new opening?” – Hernandez

Well we’re starting off strong, aren’t we… and I didn’t even put in Bill’s ‘BANG’ joke… shit, this is going to be bad.

Tonight though for the Title it’s Edge vs. Flair in a TLC match.. as well as Kurt versus Shawn.. and if you don’t know Kurt is the new Smackdown World Champion!?!

Starting up first though, here comes Edge! He’s not ready for wrestling right now, but here comes Lita wearing a black vest… and well…. I’m sure some nice double sided tape. She doesn’t look all that bad actually.

“I realize that some people are calling me a cheap champion… I was just in the right place at the right time. Like it or not, I stand before you as your new WWE champion. I do what I want, when I want. I call the shots. Last week I wanted to have sex with my love kitten Lita, but it seems that some of you were offended by my fare Lita being stripped down to her bare essentials… I say to them… too damn bad.” – Edge

Edge now explains the concequences that Ric Flair faced last weeks… chair to table with a head in the middle.. KWANG!
“I still mark for the con-chair-to” – Me

Edge decides that he is now going to have sex in the ring with Lita.. right now. This though is interrupted by KURT ‘PYRO’ ANGLE wearing his new big big gold belt! Edge explains that Angle sucks…
“Davairi is sitting there going .. no.. YOU suck..” – Bill

So they go head to head discussing how one man won the title over the other.

The crowd is 100% behind Kurt! Edge believes Kurt went to Smackdown because he was embarrassed that he couldn’t beat John Cena…. Edge then taunts Angle with a match.. Title versus Title… then pulls it back.

“You are a second rate champion on a second rate show” – Edge

Angle then stiffs him with a nice clubbing blow… and tosses him out of the ring.. but here comes the Chairman Of The Board! He doesn’t look happy.

Vince declares that he will not have two heavyweight champions beating the hell out of tonight…
“Why not?” – Bill

Either way, Edge has to face Flair for the title in a TLC match…
“Which is just a ladder match..” – Me
“With tables and chairs..” – Hernandez and Bill

Also, Kurt has to defe–no no no.. not defending the title, but there will be a stipulation. If Shawn loses, he will be terminated immediately. So let’s introduce Shawn and get it started!
“This better be 25 minutes..” – Hernandez
“It’s a good thing that he’s ready..” – Dani
“Shawn. Is always ready..” – Bill
“Jesus was whispering in his ear to get ready” – Jenna

Shawn gets a little face to face with Vince.
“Screw him!” – Hernandez
“Take his gum!” – Bill
“Put it on his nose!” – Eric

COMMERCIAL TIME! – And if you didn’t know – The Golden Globes are on!
They give an award to S. Epatha Merkerson – and she thanks the world since this was her first lead in a film.
“BANG!” – Hernandez

So she thanks a bunch of people.. Dick Wolf.. Mark Maynard.. Tanya Ownes.. Her date Jesse L Martin, her baby brother, and the gay guy from Rent.

BACK TO WRESTLING!

KURT ANGLE vs. SHAWN MICHAELS
The Bumper Match … OF DOOM!

Side-headlock from Shawn to Kurt. They have a side-headlock exchange back and forth ending back with Shawn to Kurt.
“Kurt’s head is turning purple..” – Bill
“He gives himself everynight” – Eric
“It looks like a penis!” – Dani
“We were trying to be tasteful…” – Bill
“I was going to say ‘grape'” – Hernandez

So Shawn gets tossed to the corner, and as Kurt runs to a boot.. Shawn jumps up and lands into the belly to belly – followed by the triumverate of belly to back suplexes. Followed up with leg scissors by Kurt, and Shawn fights back with some elbows.

Shawn finally gets to his feet and pushes Kurt to the corner, irish whip and Shawn goes corner to corner.. HARD! Kurt picks up Shawn, but we get a DDT reversal.
“He is acting like a CYBORG Kurt Angle!” – Styles
“Look he’s rebooting!” – Hernandez

Shawn’s back looks hurt as he gets up and as he shoulderchecks Kurt he stops and holds his back.
“PINCH IT OFF SHAWN!” – Me

He hits the ropes and Davairi drops the ropes throwing him over the top.
“IT’S A TRAP!” – Me

He Superkicks Davairi and eats an Angle Slam on the outside…

Back in the ring Kurt’s got Shawn in a chinlock and he’s fighting out of it… Shawn hits some chops in the corner.
“So this match is fifteen minutes already” – Hernandez
“..we’ve seen ten of them” – Dani

Kurt bodyslams Shawn down hard for two. European uppercuts sends Shawn to the corner and then brings him up to the top turnbuckle…. BELLY TO BELLY FROM THE TOP????????? No! Shawn hits him and throws him. Kurt runs back, and again gets tossed.
“Go away!” – Bill
“I’m setting up.. STOP IT!” – Hernandez

Angle runs in and HITS AN ANGLE SLAM FROM THE TOP! OWWIE! HE PINS!!!

TWO COUNT!?!??!
“Does Michaels actually have a back.. or is it a steel?” – Dani
“It’s Jello” – Eric

Shawn gets picked up.. throws the superkick… MISSES INTO THE ANKLE LOCK! Shawn rolls into the pin!!!! TWO COUNT!

On their feet again, they go fist to fist, then Shawn hits the ropes and hits the crossbody. He nips up! HE GETS TOSSED INTO THE ANKLE LOCK! Another roll out and he kicks Kurt out and Kurt runs in to the atomic drop. Shawn is climbing to the top.

He throws the elbow.. HE MISSES!
“Wifffff” – Bill

Kurt’s up.. and he removes the suspenders… it’s party time!
He goes for the Angle slam.. Sunset flip… turned into the Ankle Lock!!!! Shawn is fighting for the edge! He kicks Angle.. but ANGLE HOLDS ONTO IT AGAIN! He fights for the robes, and only hits Davairi…

Davairi runs in with a chair… and as he’s about to hit Shawn the ref stops it! He grabs the chair and Kurt runs over to toss Davairi too… ROLL UP FROM SHAWN!

WINNER: SHAWN MICHAELS

In the ring Kurt fights it out with Davairi.
“Just say NO! And rub his face into Shawn Michaels” – Bill

They continue to fight and as Davairi is apologizing… he slaps Kurt – and gets beaten to hell – Angle Slammed over the top rope – and Kurt is officially a face!

“…four fish…

“…five and a half fish…” – Bill

So Kurt heads out… now a full-fledged face… sweet.

JOHN CENA
Masterlock Challenge

A long set-up into the Masterlock…. and I’m tempted to turn on the Golden Globes again…

Masters locks it in and starts throwing Cena around… and they are cheering Cena here. Cena finally bends forward, pulling Masters off his feet.. then throwing him into the turnbuckle.
“Hey look Dani.. another purple headed warrior” – Hernandez

Cena is starting to fade…

“..BANG!” – Hernandez
“Look at Ric.. he’s totally drugged up! He’s made of wood!” – Bill

“..right around his asshole..” – Bill

So now here comes Trish, Ashley, and Mickey! And I was wrong earlier, this is a six-woman tag match.
“It’s like the bulldog and the chiuaua from Looney Toons!” – Hernandez

Now it’s Victoria.. no. Torrie.. No. Candice… Maaaybe…

GOOD GIRLS vs. BAD GIRLS
The GoDaddy Ashley conundrum

Me and Dani try and figure out if she’s hot…

So Victoria starts with Trish. Trish rolls up Victoria for two. Hits the ropes and Thesz Press… Victoria punches her in the vagina, and Trish tosses her into the corner. She holds up and catches her legs around Victoria… then Candice comes in for the the double twist…
