We also sit and comment on the action.. just like you! The difference is, I type fast so I write it all down. That’s the Rabble!

Joining us for this wrestlefest isssssss:

JEFFREY – JILL – BILL – HERNANDEZ – NINA – JENNA – MICHAEL – DANI

Live from the Continental Arena in New Jersey, where I would have been if I didn’t go see the O&A comedy show last night and didn’t have the money for…

All the commentators are here!

Starting the show isss… KANE!

KANE vs FINLEY

Wait a second, the whole reason they are fighting is because Lashley got coffee on Kane…. didn’t Jericho have a feud for the same reason!?
“Maybe Kane’s just unlucky.” – Bill
“Maybe he just doesn’t like coffee.” – Me

So we start up with Kane beating down on Lashley, elbow drops, solid boot, and big fists to the face. Holds him into the corner and elbows him a few times. All offense from Kane until he charges Finley in the corner and eats a boot. Kane charges and a big fist sends Finley over.

Kane follows out and a big boot. They head back in the ring and Kane heads to the top rope, but Finley charges him and Kane drops to the outside holding his taped up belly.

In the ring, Finley stomps down on his tape and splashes all over Finley. Finley now rolls him in for a single leg crab with the leg planted right in his back.

Kane gets to one foot, and a SOLID enzuigiri drops Finley. Kane throws Finley to the ropes and ANOTHER big boot. Sideslam from
Kane for two. He heads up to the top rope again and HITS the big clothesline.

He charges Finley, he moves and a leap right onto Kane’s gut for two. Finley heads out and brings in Lil Bastard! The midget skirts out of his vest and bails for Kane to boot Finley again and he goes after the Bastard. Finley stops before Kane chokeslams him!

He grabs Finley instead for the chokeslam but can’t get him up! Boots to the gut from Finley to break the hold. Short DDT from Finley and he goes to take off the turnbuckle! As the ref tries to put it back, he goes to hit Kane with the shelaleigh, but BLOCKED by a knife-edge chop. Finley rolls out and NOW hits him with the wooden stick.

PIN FO….TWO! Finley charges the corner, Kane moves and CHOKESLAM! DONE.

WINNER: KANE
“..that was great, glad we got this ppv.” – Dani

Admittedly we were quiet as we were enjoying our pizza.
“His name is Hornswaggle?” – Dani
“Yeah..” – Me
“That’s not a very leprechan name..” – Dani
“What is?” – Me
“Warwick Davis.” – Me

In the back now, ALL of the GM’s are in the back and here comes Vince with Coach. They are all partying it up.
“Wow, they rated the Oriental Trading catalogue for decorations.” – Dani

This is all interrupted by Santino who tries to convince that he might be Vince’s son.. Vinnie.. Vincenzo! Anyway, here comes MVP! MVP wants to offer a challenge to Matt Hardy.. not wrestling.. something else.

Vince said that he would be happy if MVP was his son. Coach begins to agree, but Regal interrupts and says that MVP isn’t distinguished enough…. wasn’t…. REGAL enough.

Vince and Coach then discuss how Vince would never sleep with an English woman… then makes fun of the office.

So we get a Rey commercial.

Now though… KENNNEEEDDDDYYYY!!!!
“Listen to Jersey chanting along with him.” – Me

Time for he who spits and such – Carlito
“Nice set.” – Hernandez
“It looks like a large Carlito’s Cabana..” – Dani

Finally, UUUuuuuuMANGA!
“Did Umaga lose weight?” – Dani
“No, his tattoos got bigger.” – Bill

MR. KENNEDY vs CARLITO vs UMAGA

Umaga in the middle of the ring to start with Carlito and Kennedy creeping around him. Umaga starts with a headbutt to Kennedy – as Carlito tries to walk in, he gets a chop.

Umaga drops Kennedy, then back to Carlito, then BACK to Umaga. They both bail and decide to come in at the same time. They try to doubleteam him, but Umaga still clubs both of them. He sets Carlito in the corner for the buttbump, but Kennedy grabs Umaga and pulls his leg so he trips out of the ring.

He sets Umaga on the stairs and BOOT! Back in the ring, Kennedy gets rolled up by Carlito… One.. Two… Stopped due to Carlito’s hands on the ropes. Now Kennedy throws some fists, ropes, ducked clothesline, but Carlito hits the second rope back elbow for two.

Side front facesweep by Kennedy. He hits the ropes and he is GRABBED by Umaga and thrown out. Now it’s Carlito and Umaga time with Carlito…
“I see they are diverging from the three man format..” – Me

Kennedy charges in and throws Umaga to the corner, he then heads out and hits Umaga with a TV… as he’s about to get into the ring he’s tossed by Carlito and Carlito goes for the pin! Two only.

Kennedy gets back in and they start the doubleteam action. Fight for the double suplex… blocked and Umaga hits his OWN double suplex. All three are down.

Umaga hits the samoan drop on Carlito! He hits the black whole on Kennedy! Two count BLOCKED by Carlito. He gets pushed to the corner and eats the superkick and the buttbounce!

Umaga turns to charge Kennedy and drops the rope – Umaga goes FLYING!
“Fly fatass fly!” – Me

Kennedy grabs Carlito, hits the Kennedy roll! Umaga grabs Kennedy, THUMB POKE OF DOOM.. DONE.
“They let Umaga go clean over Kennedy!?!?” – Me
“He still might be Vince’s son..” – Hernandez

WINNER: UMAGA

CHAVO vs REY REY

They go face to face..
“Did Rey gain a little weight?” – Hernandez
“He should have painted horizontal stripes.” – Me

The Chavo sucks chant begins and they have a quick start-up. Takedown and cover from Rey with a backbridge from Guerrero for two.

There is an amazing monkeyflip back and forth ending with a armdrag. Fantastic. Back in the ring, Chavo starts to work right on the bad knee.
“OWWIE OWWIE! Not the bad knee!” – Hernandez

Chavo goes for a dropkick, Rey moves and Chavo flies OUT Of the ring. Rey runs hits the ropes and a front flip lands on Chavo like a westcoast pop.. sorta.

So now Rey in kicking the hell out of Chavo.
“GIVE EM THE SILVER!” – Hernandez
“He’s rusting..” – Bill

Sliding dropkick to Chavo and a snapkick to his back. Chavo fights back, throws Rey to the corner, but it’s blocked with a boot, leap to the top and a rana from Rey! Rey leaps to the top again and Chavo hits him..
“Tree of AY DIOS MIO!” – Hernandez

Dropkick from Chavo in the knee and now Chavo taking advantage kicking the hell out of him.
“Hey a tattoo was revealed, do I win a prize?” – Dani
“Only if you find an exact copy of that tattoo elsewhere on his body.” – Bill

Chavo now runs him all over the ring and locks his head beneath his knee.
“What is THAT?!” – Dani
“..It HURTS..” – Hernandez

Rey moves his leg around his neck and hits a headscissors. Now Chavo wraps his leg around Rey’s and hits a backbridge! He looks like he’s going to row the boat, but instead pulls BACK… OWWIE! Back on his feet, Rey hits an enzuigiri! Chavo hits the sceond rope!

RUNS FOR THE 619…. FALLS ON HIS KNEE! MEAN!

Now Chavo rolls him into a single leg crab, but Rey grabs the rope after a long moment. Euro-uppercut from Chavo, and he gets hurled into the ropes…

Chavo goes for a bodyslam, Rey … reversed it!? We are confused by the entire affair for a moment, but Rey gets Chavo up on the top rope and drops HIM into the tree of woe – a slew of kicks into Chavo’s knee.

Rey leaps on him to the outside.
“AWW HIT THE WHOOPIE CUSHION!” – Hernandez

Back in, Rey hits the top rope! Flying cross, DENIED. He HITS the Gory Special! TWO! ONLY TWO! NICE!
