The Heartbreak Kid returns tonight, and the Rabble is in full force. To explain what the Rabble is, we gather in a bar in centeral New Jersey and we talk to the show. The show in turn, sucks, which fuels our fire.

Let’s go with the rollcall:
JEFFREY – The Beer Pouring Kid
MIKE – The Deet Flying Kid
DANI – The Jamie Loving Girl
ERIC – The Bacon IceCreaming Kid
BILL – The Not Arting Kid
TOMMY – The Not Arting Kid’s Brother
And finally – The Rabble Writing Kid, James Hatton, Me.

Also, the Forum Posting Kids, the Insyders.

Dani looked at the spoilers and has informed us that this show sucks.

Anyway, we see Trips crawling away from his beatdown and at the end of the show… Shawn.
“I still think it’s Skinner.” – Mike

Superkick. Deet. Done.

Regal! This show is already awesome.
“Finally.. William “Sunshine” Regal has come home.” – Insyder Evil Crippled Hand

Anyway… Orton interrupts him and seems upset that he was beaten down by HBK last week. He doesn’t want the fans to decide his opponent at Cyber Sunday – he wants Regal to decide.

So, he’s dressed to compete.
“Wearing nothing, but underwear.” – Me
“Hey, last time I was in England.. I destroyed a hotel.” – Mike

So Orton makes a suggestion about tonight’s match, but Regal first has an announcement to make.
“That announcement sucks.” – Dani
“STOP THAT!” – Me

Cue Regal’s music. Regal chant resides throughout the entire auditorium. He then plays the crowd.
“HELLOOOOO BUTTERCUPS!” – Me

He promises a great show this evening.
“He lies!” – Mike
“He does.” – Dani

Tonight, Orton will be facing each one of his Cyber Sunday opponents tonight. Hardy, Kennedy, and HBK.
“Wait… what? Two midcarders and Shawn?” – Eric
“Yeah, it’s called swaying the vote.” – Me

So wait, he faces all three.. why watch the PPV?

Anyway, here comes the Rainbow Warrior!

Hey!
“Hey!” – Eric
“Huh?” – Jeffrey
“What’s all this about?” – Bill
“Is Regal going to stand there all night?” – Eric
“He gives instant heat to all…” – Me

“So… are they going to play ‘Whose Belt Is Bigger?” – Dani

JEFF HARDY vs. RANDY ORTON
SKITTLES!
“Jeffykins’ hair is hardly a rainbow…it looks more like that cup of water you use to clean you brushes with when you’re done painting back in elementary school.” – Insyder The Titan

So we’re at 9:12 and the wrestling has begun. Orton pushes Hardy into a corner. Armdrags all over the place from Jeff and Orton gets up, wrings the arm and pushes Jeff to the corner.

Throws him to the corner, reversed and Hardy clotheslines Jeff over the top. Then the running baseball slide! Suicide dive!

Hey, both men are outside… I bet it’s a….

COMMERCIAL ONE – 9:13

Jeff fights out of it only to eat a powerslam. Garrrrrvin Stomp! Kneedrop from Orton. Right back into a headlock!

RANDY ORTON HEADLOCK COUNT: 2

Fights to the feet. Hardy fights hard. Punches. Two crossbodies and a pin for two. Jeff runs and hits the Whisper for two!

It’s SANNNTINNNO TIME!
“This is dumb too…” – Dani

“I think I could watch Maria jiggle down that ramp in slow-motion all day.” – Insyder Evil Crippled Hand
“Maria in fishnets = me needing a few minutes of alone time” – Insyder Soak1313

“….now just make fun of the condemned….” – Dani

So he then says England is nothing compared to Italy. He then makes fun of Stone Cold. Wait.. WAIT…. HELLLOOOO LADIES!
“Only in Europe.” – Mike
“Val should win and take Maria with him.” – Dani

SANTINO vs. VAL VENIS
VAL! ..fuck val… MARIA!

Val pushes Santino to the corner. They fight back and forth. Finally Val getting caught in a middle rope tree of woe, kicks him out. Santino then does a legwrap on Val and Val tries to fight into a chinlock, but he’s kicked out and put into a single leg crab.

Val is crawling for the ropes.
“This man should be our heavyweight champ.” – Mike

He gets the ropes, to his feet, and chops! Santino clips his leg and that’s it. Everytime Val gets a move or reversal – Santino reverses it.. finally a sunset flip from VAL! Santino drops… dammit.

WINNER: SANTINO
REAL WINNER: MARIA!

Thanks Dani.. I was smoking. I felt I missed nothing.

Hey, Umaga killed Trips.

Now, Vince in the back wanting to talk to Regal. He wants to know how old the Queen is really….
“Which one?” – Regal (Gesturing to George Michael & Elton)

“The Kennedy headlock count is rivaling Orton’s.” – Tommy
“But the Kennedy headlock count is that much better.” – Bill

“Wasn’t that Eric Bischoff’s idea?’ – Eric
“No, it was Jerichos!” – Me

So who is Trips facing at Shyber Shunday.. Umaga… who is coming down to the ring right now with a jobber!
“Last time he was in Europe and faced a jobber. He lost the title.” – Mike

So one of the possibilities is a Street Fight. He’s going to demonstrate right now. Vince asks the jobber’s name. ‘Ryan Simmons’ He then asks if Ryan is afraid… yes.
“Of course he’s afraid. Those pants weren’t red when he bought em.” – Insyder Blackheart

Vince then makes funny
