SHILLING MY WEBCOMIC

I HEARD IT WAS SO SO…

WELCOME TO:

R A B B L E

So yeah, myself and Bill were out shilling our webcomic wares, and I made a decision that in the act of complete and utter pimpage, when one of the Rabble has a link they want posted up.. I’m going to post it for them. So at the end of the Rabble henceforth, expect links to In His Likeness and Bill’s Silver Rage.

For now though, let’s get to Raw!

Joining us tonight:
JEFFREY – Bartender and member of team ‘Don’t Tell Jamie The Results of SurSer’
MIKE – Indy wrestler and just back from a Canadian Tour
HERNANDEZ – Just getting his ring rust removed and initiator of the ‘Results’ joke.
JENNA – Workin on getting her first match & probably involved in the joke.
BILL – Webcomic artist and sitting next to me for 8 hours in the car…
ERIC – I assume knew about the joke all along, and it’s his birfday!
DANI – My darling fiancee whom was sleeping in the car
And the guy who was reading Survivor results at 4am, when he got home… Me, James Hatton.

Now to the show…

Tonight, the Hardyz fight with Rated RKO.. aka Team Ordge… but now – Ric Flair in the ring who won last night at SurSer.
“WOO!” – Bill

Flash to last night and they show Ric winning the match in the end.. yet Spirit Squad has not broken up yet. Why? Maybe tonight?

Well anyway – Ric wants this feud with the Spirit Squad to end tonight. Apparently Ric’s got partners to help him do so.
“Please stop hitting me!” – Me

So interrupting him is, the Spirit Squad. They have a cheer…
“Worst Cheerleaders ever!” – Dani

Who are Flair’s partners? Hey, wait.. it’s…… DX!
“…but….but… Triple H doesn’t like … ” – Dani
“Yes he does.. he’s a face.” – Bill
“Stupid wrestling..” – Dani

Anyway, Triple H grabs the mic. He wants to know if we’re ready.
“Are you ready?” – Me
“No.” – Mike

Neither is Trips, as he feels that they’ve kicked Spirit Squad’s ass enough.
“I agree” – Dani

So Trips does his standard opener, promising us it’s the last time we’ll ever see the Spirit Squad.
“I’ve made note that he promised…” – Me

So Spirit Squad interrupts the intro and Shawn is left in the ring with Mikey, and a quick tag to Trips – and seems the match started.

SPIRIT SQUAD vs. RIC, SHAWN, HUNTER
Oh, hey, a match..

Trips hits Mikey in the head in the corner. Countertoss to the corner and Hunter tags Ric and he now tosses Mikey to the corner and hits the back body drop.

Tag to Shawn. Armwringer. Chops him down. Slams him headface to the corner, and now Shawn tosses – but he gets whipped into the corner, but boots Mikey down. Tag to Flair and he gets tripped into the corner and SS all come into the ring and beat on Flair. In run DX and the Squad gets booted over the ring. Every one of them and Shawn goes head over ass off the top rope to land on em all..
“He has Jesus on his side..” – Mike

All three men strut their stuff Flair style – and we gotta commercial.

COMMERCIAL ONE – 9:10

Back in the ring – Shawn hits a side suplex on Mikey and Mikey tags Kenny and Shawn doesn’t get to the hot tag in time…
“Why does Shawn always get the heat?” – Mike
“Christians turn the other cheek.” – Bill

So now a tag to Mikey and they just beat on Shawn in the corner for awhile. Elbows and beatdowns and quick tags and all that other stuff. From Mikey to Kenny. Moonsault. Clotheslines. Stomps. Tag to Mitch. Slam. Snap suplex. Tag to Kenny. Tag to Mikey. Splash off Kenny’s shoulders MISSES!

Shawn gets the tag to Trips and he goes nutzo! Clears house. Hits the knee. Clotheslines someone over the rope. Spinebusts. Tag to Flair. We now get the set-up for the figure four, but Ric chops down interrupting members of the SS… Trips hits a Pedigree. Shawn hits a Superkick. Now every member of the Flair team goes and hits figure fours…. every one taps…. it’s a fun sportzentertainmenty ending.

WINNER: DX w/ RIC

So now Shawn and Ric hug and then Flair does the DX Lightflair chop with them.
“See! This is what DX is about.. bringing up new talent!” – Me
“Aww, Shawn and Ric are going to make out!” – Insyder Claus_trophobic

So then we see some pedophilia with the Hardy Boys.
“Why are you complaining?” – Jeffrey
“”WWE: DO try this at home.” – Insyder BSUVincent

COMMERCIAL TWO – 9:19

We’re back – and during the commercial – Trips brought out the sledge. SS bailed. The end. In the back – they lock the SS in a big equipment trunk. The trunk is labeled ‘DESTINATION: OVW’ They give it to the OPS guy – make fun of the fact that he’s labeled OPS – and then Trips makes Shawn sign because he’s ‘trying to stay off the grid’.

So Shawn and Trips shed a tear for the Squad as it’s the ‘end of an era’…

In the back – Nitro & Melina… and their mic’s don’t work. Mercury is here! The A-Listers – The Extremes – The..
“Guys with no more trackmarks in their arms..” – Me
“Eyeballs.” – Hernandez
“Toes.” – Bill

Right now – a Diva Battle Royal for no apparent reason… we assume to choose a new #1 contender.

So here comes Mikey and she’s bouncy!
Now Melina in a cool leather bodicey bit..
“Did they get bigger somehow?” – Mike
“Wardrobe Malfunction?” – Me
Now it’s time for Candice Michelle in a white shiny number. Not bad.

COMMERCIAL THREE – 9:31 And smoke break for the boys.

DIVA BATTLE ROYAL
Maria? Please?

And here comes Torrie wearing a shiny gold number, with her puppy. Maria’s in the ring too!!! So’s Victoria.. but MARIA is!

Candice and Torrie doubletoss Victoria and she ducks it and hits her own. Melina is beating on Maria in the corner, that whore. Victoria is kneeing Torrie and then Melina goes to charge in on Torrie, but Victoria clotheslines Melina over. Maria gets tossed into the ropes – planchas the top! Hangs on! IT’S ADORABLE!

Candice gets up and slams on Victoria down. Victoria lands on the apron and they fight it out with a gorgeous high kick to get back in and TOSS Candice out.

Victoria has won.

WINNER: VICTORIA

So now Victoria comes in and grabs Candice…. annnnd Widow’s Peak.
“Victoria’s looking Butter Face tonight..” – Me
“Butter Face?” – Mike
“Yeah, everything looks good – ‘butter face'” – Me
“Wow.. I haven’t heard that in… ummm..” – Mike
“Second Grade is in session PAL!” – Me

“EVILLL!” – Me
“Indeed” – Eric
“Wow, Kaientai were even losing on Heat in 98” – Me

COMMERCIAL FOUR – 9:41
(And Dani says good night.. she’s going home to play the WII)

Hey – it’s Eugene time! Now it’s Hacksaw time!
“They’re fighting finally..” – Eric
“World’s Strongest Man contest..” – Hernandez
“Just take Eugene’s baseball – and he’s got it” – Me

HACKSAW vs. EUGENE
“And it is the Living Mass vs. Tardomatic” – Insyder Claus_trophobic
“They didn’t save this for pay per view?????” – Insyder The_Bumble

So Eugene bitchslaps Hacksaw and that apparently starts the match… now Hacksaw just goes and throws him to the ropes. Clotheslines abound. Slam down. Hacksaw gets his own bitchslap and throws Eugene to the ropes and he eats a back body drop. There is the USA chant..
“That’s right, take out that retarded communist.” – Bill

Duggan goes for a Three-Point Stance, but Eugene bails and chokes Hacksaw on the top rope. Eugene hits the swinging neckbreaker – and a win?!?

Eugene grabs the mic.
“Eugene signaling that he wants to eat the Mic.” – Insyder BSUVincent
“DON’T MAKE FUN OF ME! I AM SPECIAL!” – Eugene
“Prick me and do I not bleed!” – Bill
“And then the entranceway eats him” – Eric

In the back DX gets interrupted by Dusty & Arn. They’ve got a party for Ric a bit later, Shawn got chips.. dips… and even.. guess… a karaoke machine! Yay…

Trips has two words for Arn & Dusty – ‘Booze & Broads’
Ron Simmons has one word – ‘Damn’.

COMMERCIAL FIVE – 9:51

This week in wrestling history – November 1999 –
The marriage of Stephanie McMahon and Test. Hey, guess who interrupted… Triple H!

Hey! You Think You Know Me!
“No Lita.. YAAAAAY” – Mike
“Claps” – Bill
“Now he’s gotta f*ck someone elses girlfriend to get over.” – Mike

Edge wants to congratulate DX for beating the Spirit Squad for the thousandth time. Not like it compares to how many times he’s beaten the Hardy’s… he’s going to dedicate his win tonight to the greatest women’s champ over.
“Fabulous Moolah?” – Eric
“Trish Stratus?” – Bill
“Medusa?” – Me

So now it’s Edge’s guest time.. annnnnd he never appears. Edge gets pissy. He declares that since he can’t get a guest, might as well end the show now.
“Tv goes black” – Me

Randy is there though and he says he’s got Edge’s guest behind the curtain…. but he needs verification. Edge comes on back and yep that’s his guest…. they pull out a bloody and beaten Ric Flair.
“Is that Owen?” – Jeffrey
“THEY’RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!” – Me

So Edge tries to call down DX to save Ric Flair.
“This is really….” – Bill
“Long?” – Me
“Boring.” – Bill
“SET HIM ON FIRE!” – Eric

So Edge goes to get a pair of chairs for the con-chair-to and they get it all set-up… Orton punches Ric’s bloody head for a bit.
“Ewww Hepatitus..” – Eric

El-KaBong!!!! Now Orton’s turn.
“He’s gonna f*ck up on purpose” – Mike

El-KaBong!!!! And I didn’t hear it, but apparently somebody in the crowd was yelling ‘One More Time’ – Thanks to the Insyders for picking up that gem.
“Well at least he gets a party after this” – Bill
“That’s not Flair! That’s old man Withers!” – Me

MATHTERS vs. LAWLER
whatever

Lock up and Masters slams down Lawler. Hits the ropes, and elbow drop misses as Lawler gets to his feet. Masters now throws Lawler corner to corner – bearhug….

SIGN OF THE NIGHT (so far): “MASTERS SHRUNK”

Lawler breaks out of the bearhug – and then hits the Fistdrop! Hits it again! Then again! Oh my god.. three times!
“Ow, my fist hurts” – Bill

Masters tosses Lawler and slams him down.
“Lawler has now finished as he has no more moves.” – Mike

Backbreaker from Masters and some stompy stomps. Suplex from Masters. Then he goes for his own fistdrop of his own and misses!
“Look Lawler’s Kinging Up!” – Me

Lawler hits a bunch of punches then gets choked against the top rope… Now set-up for the Masterlock! As the Masterlock continues here comes Carlito!

Masters finally lets go of the hold to yell at Carlito. He gets some apple in the face, and Lawler grabs the roll-up!
“Awwww, I wanted a piledriver.” – Mike

WINNER: LAWLER
“God Lawler’s gonna suck Carlito’s dick for the next month.” – Jeffrey

“Of course the stealers are here – Cryme Time are showing up later.” – Me

Ummmagggaaaa time…
“The Samoan Garbonzo..” – Hernandez

Armando’s got the mic – and he’s upset about Survivor Series. Umaga got DQd, I believe we predicted that. He’s apparently unstoppable!

So they’re putting John Cena on notice. Hey, here comes Cena!
“I still have no idea how Rosie is gone and the guy with the bad attitude gets the push” – Hernandez

So Cena grabs the mic…
“NO! DON’T TAKE THAT!” – Jeffrey

“As for your challenge…” – Cena
“Did you forget the first half?” – Eric
“I accept” – Cena

They go nose to nose. Cena removes his shirt… and Umaga backs off.
“Don’t show him your nipples” – Hernandez
“Umaga fears them!” – Me

“Umaga’s never been beat!” – JR
“Of course he’s been beat, how do you think he got this way” – Hernandez

Umaga then bails and Cena salutes…

COMMERCIAL EIGHT – 10:27
So Bill is heading out for the night – still exausted from the Ohio trip..
“You are gonna miss the Hardyz..” – Me
“I missed them the first time around too..” – Bill

“Self-Destruction = Ratings people!” – Insyder MRobWantsUrMoney

Here comes some footage….. with Nick Burke on stage (If you don’t know who that is, you don’t listen to the Rabblecast!)

So he repeats the Michael Richards bit… and in run Cryme Time. They are about to yell at him, but he apologies. He tries to leave and eats the HUGE big boot. Cryme Time bows and takes the mic.
“What’s the deal with the bloods and.. the crips… can’t we all just get a long…”

They then steal his wallet.
“That’s what I was waiting for – Jamie you look like you didn’t like it.” – Jeffrey
“I was just expecting Nick Burke to end up with a racist comedian gimmick” – Me

So Edge in the background talking to Jeff Hardy… So Edge explains that Matt is overrated and that he’s the albatross around his neck.
“No no no – that was TNA” – Hernandez

COMMERCIAL NINE – 10:37

We get the Edge/Orton remix tune… Orton doesn’t have his belt… weird.
“I really don’t want DX to get involved in this match, but they will” – Mike

We get a flashback to they beating on Ric.
“At least Orton HIT Flair..” – Eric
“Daddy issues.” – Hernandez

We come back and Orton somehow now has his title… weirder.

EDGE & ORTON vs. HARDYZ
Is this Edge / Matt: Act III?

Starting in the ring are Jeff and Orton.

Edge now beats down on Jeff. Throws him to the ropes and eats a kick to the gut. Jeff hits the jawbreaker, but Edge backs up and a hard clothesline.

Tag now from Edge to Orton, and they continue to work on Jeff. Punches and stomps. He even gives him the Ronnie Garvin around the world stomp. Tag to Edge. Matt on the outside reaching for the tag.
“BEAT THAT LITA FUCKER!” – Me

“The ref’s got an appointment tonight..” – Hernandez

So Edge has Jeff locked up – he is fighting out and then gets hairslammed down. Tag to Orton. Chokes him on the ropes. Continues the stomping barrage. Tag to Edge. Tag to Orton. Finally they try for a doubleteam back body drop – and Jeff hits the double DDT instead. Jeff gets the hot tag!
