Tonight we were told we were getting a steel cage match with Cena & Edge.
An IC match with Hardy & Nitro.
“This might be a good night!” – Hernandez
“If it was TNA..” – Eric
Hey! We’re starting with DX!
“X-PAC” – Hernandez
“Shut up..” – Me
So Shawn starts off by jogging around Triple H.

We get some flashbacks from Unforgiven. Discussing the match, Lawler actually uses the terms ‘Hershey Highway’…
“Is there a 3rd Grader in his ear?” – Bill
Hunter asks everyone to shhhh..
“WHO BETTA!” – Hernandez
They go through the standard DX stuffs…
“Wasn’t this last week?” – Hernandez
“Is this a repeat?” – Me
“The lights are on.” – Bill
And if you aren’t down with that.. hey, the Coach is interrupting.
“DX – do you think you run this show? Do you actually think that you run Monday nights? I hate to break it to you, but you don’t run a thing…”
“Ooo snap” – Me
“So on behalf of the McMahon family who are watching at home, to face right here right now in a texas tornado match…”
“Kerry Von Erich, come on down” – Me
“So here are your six opponents…”
“Didn’t we see THIS last week?” – Eric
So starting in the ring we have Shawn & Trips on Lance and Murdoch. In run the Highlanders and they get tossed… now Triple H has Haas in the ring as Cade and Murdoch run in on Shawn.
OOO in runs Viscera to help out Haas. He tosses Hunter to the corner. Viscera hurls Haas right into him. As Viscera charges, Haas gets pulled into the way.. squashy.
Shawn throws out Cade & Murdoch and now Hunter and Shawn doubleteam Visc.
In runs Rory – Hunter ducks and Haas and Rory go out. Leaving once again DX with Viscera… Double DDT. Haas runs in. Spinebuster. Top rope from Shawn. ELBOW!
J E S U S – SUPERKICK – WHAM – PEDIGREE.
WINNER: DX
Hey Coach stands at the top… asks the music to be cut off.
“It already has..” – Eric
Coach explains that he’s won this match, but he hasn’t won the war..
“Who writes this shit?” – Hernandez
“Dusty Rhodes?” – Mike
Coach explains that ‘HE’ runs this show. Trips says he could just as easily grab Coach, throw him out, and then THEY would run the show. So off they run to go do so.
“Coach’s “mad face” looks like a toddler who just got his sippy cup taken away.” – Insider Ellie Mo
COMMERCIAL ONE – 9:13
So here comes Melina & Nitro… he’s wearing a stoal as well as his jacket. Melina is wearing hot lil leopard knee socks. Nice.
“I feel for Melina…I hate when the papparazzi bothers me when I’m trying to walk down the ramp.” – Insider Ellie Mo
“And then PETA runs in and throws paint all over my fur coat and I’m all yelling like, “IT’S FAUX YOU FUCKERS!” – Insider SpauldingsGhost
“Honestly, why can’t a girl just walk the ramp in peace????” – Insider Ellie Mo
Hey, here comes Hardy.
NITRO vs. HARDY

We’re back and hey, look, a chinlock from Nitro to Hardy. Hardy fights out of it… to their feet they swing back and forth. Nitro tosses Hardy to the corner and a miss on the whisper in the wind! Nitro goes for a pin for two.
“Hey look a sign that says ‘Hi Uncle Ben'” – Bill
“It WAS after a wrestling event that he died… continuity.” – Hernandez
So Nitro throws Hardy to the corner and Melina screaches..
“Was that necessary?” – Chris
“No.” – Me
Nitro hits Hardy with a backbreaker for two. Knee in the back now. Hardy fights out of it and hits a double mule kick (??) to drop both of them. Hardy gets to his feet, back elbow, kick turn into enzuigiri-ish kick for a two count. Double legdrop pin for two.

“Classic” – Me
They insinuate that Coach won’t open the door due to masterbation and Shawn wants him to know that it’s a sin.
COMMERCIAL THREE – 9:33
So I come back too late – and I apparently missed Maria. So this past week, Dani and I bought a DVR.. so… REWIND!!!
MARIA! BLUE! SHINY! MARIA! LECH! ME! YES!
“Maria, you have a little bit of CM Punk on you..” – Bill
So she’s with Hardy talking about how he won the title.
Who really f*cking cares, how hot is she… oh the answer is VERY.
So Melina interrupts… and screams.
“ACTING!” – Bill
Elsewhere, not Maria.. aka Coach is on the phone with Vince discussing how he locked himself in the office. He’ll do anything Vince wants him to, of course.
“Bark like a dog?” – Me
He gets off the phone.
“Fuck you Vince.” – Bill
“He should team with Shelton Benjamin now to fight keeping the black man down.”- Mike
So Coach leaves… tip toeing around.
“Now he’s locked himself out.” – Bill
“Landshark?” – Bill
Coach tiptoes around… and at the end of the hallway… Triple H
“CoMe PlAy WiTh Us CoAcH..” – Bill
“It’s just a cardboard cut out” – Hernandez
He turns, and there is Shawn…
“Please tell me when he turns back around Trips is closer” – Me
Ok, so they play the High Noon music and there is a tumbleweed at his feet. Funny, sorta.. so Coach bails into the Women’s Locker Room… DX declares they are going in there. Shawn covers his eyes and they end up in the middle of a hallway with Torie, Mickey, and Kelly Kelly.
Trips tries to mack it with them and Shawn pulls him away… Coach ends up in the Blue Oyster bar…. with a fat chippendale? He runs of course and ends up slipping across a wood floor. Ending with himself at DX’s feet… conveniently outside.
They ‘BOO’ at him, he turns and pratfalls right into the WWE truck. They load him into a dumpster.

Pulls him in the ring and wraps his arm around that top rope.
