So I have no idea what’s going on in wrestling this week. It’s been one of those scattered weeks, and I’m already a shot of Jaeger in, and sipping on my Amber Bock.
If you turn on your local news, and see Bound Brook, NJ.. that’s one town over. We’re not underwater, but some of our friends our. We’re just soaking our livers.
I would also like to address something very special going on tonight with the Inside Pulse Forumers. You see, when a thread on the forums get too long it messes with peoples cookies, so sometimes a thread has to end. The Monday Night Rabble Thread, the official callback thread for the show has gotten too big. This is the last incarnation of this thread and I know the forumers are mourning it’s loss.
The rest of you don’t care though – so let’s get to the Rabble.
We’re in Italy with…
MIKE – Who brought me a Planet Terror figure with Chango-Leg!
HERNANDEZ – Who doesn’t drink liquids.. ask him.
BILL – Who we’re pretty sure likes dudes.
ERIC – Who eats dudes.. not sexually though.
JEFFREY – Who brings me booze!
JENNA – Who brings me thoughts of M&Ms
JILL – Who really doesn’t talk much
LAURA – Friend of Mike.. we have no idea..
DANI – She made my birfday awesome and I would never forget her…
And the Inside Pulse Forumers!
Starting the show though… is Coach? Strange.
“This set looks better than the standard Raw set.” – Eric
“They rented shit from the Vatican” – Bill
“Are they all going to have to speak in Italian?” – Dani
Michael, the temporary GM is going to get his match at Backlash, but tonight we’re going to see Randy & Edge versus Cena in a Handicapped match.
“Coach has one thing up on that kid though.” – Bill
“He’ll see next week?” – Me
“Bingo.” – Bill
And from the ‘Lateral Thinking’ file…
“So is the kid still alive this week?” – Insyder Soak1313
Here comes Vince though!
“You think he has enough money to get a hat that matches his suit?” – Eric
“THere are Italians with blubbering McMahon Heads on a stick.” – Bill
Vince gets to the mic, and the weird Italian people are chanting U S A… strange.
Anyway, he mocks the Italian people, and quesitons why it’s the fashion capital of the world. Bringing the fancam… and questions their fashion…
“They’re wearing YOUR clothes, moron.” – Bill
“Wait! They’re having a Diva Fashion Show because they are in Milan? …That’s gay.” – Dani
Vince then introduces Umaga.
“Named after an old Kirby monster.” – Bill
We get a flashback to last week’s Lashley beatdown.
Vince then regrets to us inform us that Shane is not here tonight. Shane’s got a problem with Italians… deoderant.
“Oh and he forgot his passport.” – Bill
So Vince makes an open challenge for Umaga.
“Brooklyn Brawler!” – Me
“IRS!” – Jeffrey
“Someone really Italian..” – Dani
“Eugene, poked with cattle prods.” – Bill
“Nunzio.. even though he’s fired.” – Eric
“Rosie!” – Eric
Nobody, in fact, comes out. So Vince goes to the audience. Are we going to see an Italian Jobber? HA GET IT! THE ITALIAN JOBBER!
This bit goes on way too long before Vince finally picks a crying 5 year old boy.
“Do you people really want any piece of Umaga?” – Vince
“Anything but this… it’s boring” – Bill
So he picks the Italian Indy worker. The Italian guy talks.
“Pizza Pizza” – Eric
“I miss Little Caesars” – Dani
So Santino, our Jobber, promises to never sue Vince… and the crowd screams all sortsa loud for the squashed guy. He takes off his shirt to reveal an entire lion tattoo on his back.. badass badass badass tattoo.
I want him to win.
“The soccer chants are killing me.” – Insyder Ellie
UMAGA vs. LIONBACK
Santino is badass.. I mark for Santino
Santino runs in and charges Umaga with big forearms. Then snap kicks to the back of Umaga’s leg but then dives out of being squashed.
He rolls Umaga up for two!
He pushes Umaga to the corner and Santino is on fire!
..then Vince stops it.. because that stops this from being exciting…
Vince makes this anything goes, brings in Armando and they explain to Santino that it’s no holds barred… Armando slaps him and he slaps him back!
Now Umaga charges him and leg drops him while Armando slaps him around a bit. Umaga hits a dropping headbutt. Sitdown squash spot. The only thing that will save him is Bobby Lashley running down.
Textbook slam and now Umaga heads to the top. HERE COMES LASHLEY! SLAMS HIM DOWN!
“That guy can wear a suit..” – Dani
Lashley goes nuts on Umaga, Armando, and here comes Vince with a char. Lashley catches it. Hits Umaga with it! THREE chairshots! Spearshot!
And Lashley puts him on top of Umaga. HE FUCKING WINS!!!
HE HAS THE IC TITLE!
THE WINNER: SANTINO MARRIELLA!
“I’m f*cking marking for new guy” – Me
“I like wrestling again!” – Mike
“I don’t care if Santino Morella was a plant that was cool I markerd out I will admit it” – Insyder Conner_Dursuren
COMMERCIAL ONE – 9:24
We’re back and Lashley is in the ring with Santino interviewing with Lawler! Santino is getting major pops, Lashley gets none!
“Gratze Bobby! Gratze WWE! Gratze ITALIA!” – Santino
“The Rocky speech!!!” – Me
In the back, Carlito and Flair are discussing how nice Italy is. Carlito isn’t sure whether they should tag tonight. They knuckle pound and that’s it.

“They did that because that’s all they can spell in English” – Jenna

“We’re on a BRIDGE Charlie” – Me
“It’s a magical cancer Charlie” – Hernandez
“Wait, Flair, Carlito, Haas, Shelty, all in a ring at the same time! The Wwe actually likes me some days.” – Insyder A Faceless Name
Match starts with Carlito and Shelton and hiptosses abound from Carlito.. some good.. some bad…
“It’s good we’ve gotten past Charlie vs. Shelton” – Bill
“Carlito is distracted by boobies, Torrie’s and Flair’s. How can any one expect him to concentrate in the ring.” – Insyder A Faceless Name
Carlito hits a couple dropkicks, clotheslines Charlie over the top and Carlito is on fire. A tag to Charlie. A tag to Flair. Tie-up in the corner. Charlie on top, but we start the chopfest. Flair throws him to the corner and hits a back elbow.
Chopblock from Flair. Flair now goes for the leg and a shouldercheck from Shelton.
“And Flair is dead.. knocked the floppy skin off of him.” – Hernandez
Shelty gets tagged in and hits the back bodydrop. They drag Flair to the corner and fast tags between the two. Flair goes for the hot tag after a bit of wreslting. CARLITO IN!
Carlito goes nuts on Shelton, tosses him to the ropes and stiff kicks to his gut. Knee lift. Clothesline. Second rope back elbow and Shelty jumps RIGHT into it.
Carlito hits the ropes, leg caught by Charlie. Into the T-Bone. Done.
WINNER: SHELTY & CHARLIE
Meh-ish…. and Carlito is pissed at Torrie!
“I SHOULDA STAYED WITH BILLY, HE NEVER BEAT ME!” – Mike

Amusingly, the Italian red carpet doesn’t roll out right. Here comes Nitro without Melina.
“How come he hasn’t been in action? Oh yeah, they don’t know how to use the midcarders.” – Mike
So here’s Eugene!
“Whenever I see him in that jacket I just think: “I Don’t Know”” – Insyder A Faceless Name
NITRO vs. EUGENE

Eugene heads in and he gets shoulderchecked to start. As Eugene gets up he tries to fight out, but only gets stomped down in exchange. Followed by a chokeout.
