Reviews, Shows, Top Story, TV Shows

The Miz vs. Santino Marella: Santino begins by showing off a few of his karate moves then threatening the cobra before putting it away to lock-up with the Miz. Santino floors Miz with a shoulder block before hitting two armdrags but Miz is looking for the third attempt and decks him. Miz halts a punching comeback with a neckbreaker and is able to get a two count from the move. Miz then connects with his clothesline in the corner and poses for an extended period allowing Santino to recover as he slowly climbs the top rope. So the delayed aerial attack misses and Santino begins an inspired comeback. After hitting a back suplex and a hiptoss, Marella looks for the cobra but Miz nails him with a kick as he turns to strike then nails him with the Skull Crushing Finale for the victory.

The Ask The Divas is of course center around what the Divas like about and eat on Thanksgiving. Too bad that Michelle McCool and Mickie James were not involved in that particular group of questions. Want to win a copy of The Marine 2 staring Ted Dibiase? Go to WGNAmerica.com to find out how!

Goldust vs. Vladimir Kozlov: This week on ECW, Ezekiel Jackson turned on Kozlov and Regal (who is at ringside) and both still seem glum about the developments. Goldust gets taken down with a shoulder block but ducks a clothesline attempt and Kozlov goes out of over the top rope. Goldy tries to stay on the attack and follows him out with a flying fist. But his next punch is blocked and he gets leveled with a knee strike. Vlad tries to pick him up for a ride into the ringpost but Goldust slips out of it and sends the Russian into the post and the show to a commercial break.

As we return to action Kozlov is able to slow the action of his foe down by reversing an offensive attempt from the top rope and he starts to take control of the match. Goldy gets fired up and nails a bulldog. Kozlov reverses a shot into the corner and goes for a big splash but Goldust catches and slams him for a two count. Goldy tries to follow with an elbow off the ropes but Vladimir recovers quickly and gets his knees up. Kozlov then takes advantage by nailing a spinebuster that is enough for the pinfall victory. After the match both Kozlov and Regal seem pleased with the results and William sends some holiday cheer to the Rhodes family by nailing Dustin with the Knee Trembler.

Next is a video package to let us know how John Cena defines hustle, loyalty and respect and then the usual recap of this week’s episode of Raw. Also, three matches have been announced so far this week for the upcoming TLC pay-per-view: Cena/Sheamus (table match), Christian/Benjamin (ladder match) and DX/Jeri-Show (TLC).

R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler: Ziggler starts the bout with a side headlock and a punch before taking a break outside of the ring. When he returns and locks up he again gains the advantage and is able to hit the perfect necksnap for a quick two count. Truth fights back and after a sharp strike Ziggler bails outside the ring again. Truth hits another hard right hand and while Dolph bails, Striker wonders if the ref ever checks his glove to see if it’s loaded. Truth reverses a toss into the corner and hits a spinning back kick to send Ziggler outside. He follows him out by nailing him with a slingshot crossbody to the outside and the show pauses for commercials featuring Michael Winslow.

When action reconvenes, Truth is still in control but he misses both the axe-kick and his flying burrito like maneuver. Truth rolls to the outside, having apparently injured his shoulder and Dolph implores the ref to count him out. Once he gets up to the apron, Ziggler stops the count to retrieve him and locks in a headlock. Truth tries to fight out but Dolph recovers quickly and hits his series of cocky elbows for a long two count. Ziggler goes for a neckbreaker but Truth counters with a backslide for a two count of his own. Truth hits a something between an Osaka Street Cutter and an Osaka Street Stunner and gets a long two count out of it. Dolph counters with an X-Factor but is only able to get a two count from the move. Truth follows with the axe-kick but it is not enough for a three count. Both men exchange roll-up attempts but neither is able to gain a long count from them. Ziggler misses a Fame-Asser attempt and R-Truth follows with the Lie Detector and that is enough for a three count and the win.
