Surviving the Night!

I will make a quick disclaimer before my commentary. I actually took to time to watch this pay per view, therefore there may not be the detailed notes that everyone is used to. I tried to capture the highlights of every match to the best of my ability. I was too excited to actually be tuned in to write a lot.

Survivor Series kicks off with the ECW Championship match. This triple threat match will see CM Punk defending his title against both John Morrison and the Miz who are the ECW tag champs. There is plenty of double team action in this match up from Morrison and Miz against the champ. Odds are not in Punk's favor at this point. The the inevitable happens. The Miz clobbers John Morrison and knocks him out of the ring. The fighting between the tag champs begins. CM Punk takes the opportunity to capitalize on this breakdown of the tag champs and he retains his championship yet again!

The divas light up the night next in a 10 diva tag match. It's the team of Beth Phoenix, Layla, Jillian Hall, Victoria and Melina vs. Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Maria and Mickie James. This match is a great exchange from the women and it's a very nice visual. Mickie James picks up a win for her team by planting the kiss of death on Melina followed by a nice kick to the head for the win.

Tag champs Lance Cade and Trevor Murdock see action next against Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. The match is strong and intense. I'm not sure what you call the move that Murdock pulled off in order to secure that the tag champs kept their titles. I have to admit it was very impressive.

The match that has made Survivor Series famous bursts into action. The Elimination match will find two teams head to head. The first team is Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, Finlay, Big Daddy V (accompanied by Matt Striker) and MVP. The second team is Triple H, Kane, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy. However Matt Hardy wasn't with his team due to being taken out of action on Friday Night Smackdown by his own tag team partner MVP. Triple H's team is missing one man, and not seeming like they are at 100% mentally either. To simplify this match I'll just let you know how it went: Kane is eliminated by Big Daddy V, Rey Mysterio is eliminated by Umaga. At that point it's Jeff Hardy and Triple H against all five of the other men. Things are not looking good. MVP gets eliminated by Jeff Hardy (payback for MVP hurting his brother!), Mr. Kennedy is eliminated by Triple H, Big Daddy V is eliminated by a team effort between Triple H and Jeff Hardy, Finlay is eliminated by Triple H. Umaga is the only man left representing his team. He is unable to hold up and Triple H and Jeff Hardy win it for their team.

Survivor Series just wouldn't be complete without Mr. McMahon having a heart to heart with his son Hornswaggle prior to Hornswaggle's match with the Punjabi giant the Great Khali. Mr. McMahon says that he made this match because Hornswaggle is a McMahon and McMahon's always stick together.

Then surprisingly enough Shane McMahon comes ringside to introduce not only Mr. McMahon to the ring, but Hornswaggle as well. Khali comes out to the ring and is looking absolutely intimidating. Khali takes one good swipe at Hornswaggle and knocks him down flat. Suddenly Finlay runs out to the ring and saves Hornswaggle from a fate worse than death. He beats off Khali to get the match called due to interference and defends his little leprechaun.

Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels come out to face off in the battle for the championship. The stipulations on this match are Shawn is not allowed to use his Sweet Chin Music and Randy Orton is not allowed to get himself disqualified intentionally. If Shawn executes his devastating kick, he will never again be given a shot at the title as long as Randy Orton holds it. If Orton gets himself DQ'd on purpose he must relinquish the title to Michaels. Can the heartbreak kid capitalize and win this match? Michaels gets a death hold on Orton making Orton's head turn purple (literally!). It's brutal. Michael's uses some fierce holds and submission moves tonight against the champ. This has got to be one of the best match ups I've seen in a long time. They are actually wrestling. Orton at one point has to make his way to the outside just to break Shawn's hold. Orton finally is able to get to his feet and wrestle Michaels for a bit. Michaels gets Orton in a sharpshooter but Orton is able to get to the ropes. Orton then begins applying some holds of his own on the Showstopper. Shawn has Orton set up for Sweet Chin Music, then he hesitates remembering the stipulations. That hesitation is all Orton needs to swoop in and get the win to retain his title. Orton is not satisfied with simply winning however. He gets back in the ring standing Michaels up against the ring pole so he can demean Michaels and gloat on his win. This is not the smartest thing in the world for the champ to do because it results in him getting a nice healthy dose of Sweet Chin Music via the Heartbreak Kid. That's one way to punctuate your point! This grudge is far from over!

The pay-per-view ends with the biggest, most devastating match up of the night. Batista and Undertaker fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship Title in Hell in a cell. As the two men take their places in the ring and Undertaker slams the door, I have to feel sorry for the ref that gets locked in that cage with these two. The match begins and it is not for the weak at heart. A spear saves Batista from a steel chair wielding Undertaker at one point. Undertaker is pulling off some awesome vintage moves that you don't get to see him use that often anymore. Blood is pouring down Batista's face as Undertaker brutalizes the animal. Batista doesn't take this lightly and he bloodies Undertaker after hitting him in the head four (yes 4!) times with the steel ring steps. Weapons are legal and anything goes in these hell in a cell matches. Batista raises the stakes and brings a table into the ring. Undertaker is put through the table yet still manages to kick out of a three count at just the last second. Batista kicks out of a tombstone pile driver. (He what??? I've never seen anyone do that!) Undertaker sets him up for another tombstone and this match is going to be over. Out of nowhere Edge jumps in the ring and begins beating on Undertaker. A concerto on the steel steps take out the Undertaker. Edge manages to roll Batista over the Undertaker and due to the help of Edge, Batista wins this match up. Damn Edge for having to stick his nappy self in a match where he doesn't belong. I hope that Undertaker kicks a mud hole in him on Friday Night Smackdown and walks it dry! He should know better than to mess with the dead man!

This pay per view rocked and I'm glad that I was able to get it. I'm looking forward to Monday Night Raw that for certain. So tune in next post for the results of a promising Monday night and the reveal of who this mystery code person is (Chris Jericho?)

Preparing for the "Big" match

For those of you who did not get to see Monday Night Raw, I have posted a link here on the training that Hornswaggle received at the hands of William Regal and Jonathan Coachman in regards to his match at Survivor Series with the Great Khali. This clip made me laugh so hard when it aired Monday night that I just had to post about it. I have to say that a little bit of comedy goes a long way in my book, and it's good that some of the wrestlers are still in good spirits despite the very serious pay-per-view that is coming up Sunday. I wish Hornswaggle all the luck in the world, cause he's going to need it!

Update on Candace Michelle

Recently Candace Michelle gave an interview to WWE.com regarding her injury and feelings about the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. A very emotional Candace said she was angry that Beth would do what she did in order to eliminate competition. No word has been given as to how long Candace must remain out for her broken clavicle. She does promise that when she gets back that we'll see just how this injury has changed her and affected her outlook on her career. Words are not enough, you have to see it to believe it. My thoughts are with Candace as she recovers and I can't wait to see her back in the ring!

The Road Is Long

Monday Night Raw kicks off with the Smackdown World Heavyweight Champion Batista. He says he was invited by William Regal to come to Raw to take on some competition. Batista says that he is gearing up for the hell in the cell match at Survivor Series with the Undertaker. He promotes his match well. He sends a message to the Undertaker, who just happens to be there too.....He steps out and makes his way to the ring to face the champ. Are we going to see a pre Survivor Series match-up tonight? Well it looked that way until William Regal came out to add his two cents worth. Wow, Batista and Undertaker are going to be partners against Raw's tag team champs Lance Cade and Trevor Murdock. This is going to be a quick slaughtering. Undertaker and Lance Cade begin this match-up. I don't think these two red necks have seen anything the likes of the Dead Man. Batista tags himself in blindly and he begins working over Cade. Are the Dead man and the Animal going to be able to play well enough together to secure a win? Undertaker looks absolutely evil on the ring apron waiting for his turn in the ring. I love the facial expressions of this man, and to think that he's a father of a little girl! The Undertaker tags himself in blindly and he makes quick work of Cade. Undertaker and Batista easily win this match, sending a message to one another that neither of them plan on leaving that ring a loser.

Beth Phoenix makes a grand entrance and will face off against Maria. Maria is sure looking incredible this evening. Beth Phoenix shows no mercy to the beauty as she starts this match up. Maria gets off some really nice moves for a moment before the Glamazon steals a win using sheer power. I have to give Maria credit, she tried and against a lesser competitor she might have one, but the Glamazon takes her matches very seriously.

Santino Marella comes out to talk about his "attack" by Stone Cold last week. He doesn't consider his girlfriend's loss in her match, he's only thinking of himself right now. He calls out Stone Cold for an apology. Since Stone Cold is not there, he goes over to the announcers table and demands that J.R. give him an apology. He berates J.R. and King stands up to Santino. Santino challenges King to a match and King makes his way into the ring. King knocks the crap out of Santino who runs like a scalded dog out of the ring. King proves that you don't mess with Good Ol' J.R. on Raw! Good job King!

Santino challenges Jerry Lawler to a real match tonight and King takes him up on it even though he doesn't have ring attire with him. Now that's dedication! I look forward to this match up, cause once and for all someone needs to shut Marella up!

Smackdown's Matt Hardy comes out for a match tonight on Raw. His tag team partner's tonight will be Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy. They will face off in a 6 man inter promotional match against Finlay, Mr. Kennedy and MVP. This is going to be an explosive match for sure. Matt Hardy and Finlay square off first. Mr. Kennedy is tagged in and begins working over Matt. MVP gets tagged in quick enough to refuse to fight against Matt Hardy then tags Mr. Kennedy back in. Matt Hardy puts his back to Kennedy while distracted by Finlay and gets himself tossed out of the ring by Kennedy. Never put your back to the enemy, everyone knows that! Mr.Kennedy gets an advantage and is dominating Matt Hardy at this point. Kennedy makes a tag to Finlay and Matt Hardy tags in Rey Mysterio. I love to watch this man in the ring, he's so electrifying! Finlay tags in MVP to take on Mysterio. MVP uses his kicks to weaken the firecracker Mysterio. One can only wonder if Rey is at 100% after his match last week with Finlay. Rey refuses to give up but it's looking bleak for the Luchador. Mr. Kennedy gets in the ring with Mysterio and is doing what he can to injure Mysterio's back. These men are just not letting Mysterio get a leg up in this match tonight. Mysterio counters a move by MVP. Mysterio makes a much needed tag to Jeff Hardy who has yet to be in the ring tonight and he's taking it to MVP. Mr. Kennedy tries to interfere and all hell breaks loose. A huge 619 to MVP and Mr. Kennedy by Mysterio, a Swanton bomb from Jeff Hardy on MVP and the match is won by the Hardy's and Mysterio! This is what wrestling is all about!

Mr. McMahon is in the ring getting ready to over see the face off between Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton. There is a red carpet and a podium in the ring, however I don't think either of these men is thinking about giving a speech right at this moment. Randy Orton comes to the ring looking like the cat who swallowed the canary. The stipulations for the match on Sunday at Survivor Series is that Shawn Michaels is not allowed to use his famous Sweet Chin Music at all during that match or he looses the match and will never again be allowed to face Randy Orton for the WWE championship. The other stipulation is that if Randy Orton gets himself disqualified or throws the match in any way, he forfeits his title to Shawn Michaels. These two are throwing insults at each other fast and furiously. Does Shawn Michaels depend on his super kick too much, is that all that Michaels can bring to the table? Is that the only move that he's got under his belt? Michaels is absolutely teasing Orton at this point and making fun of the Champ about his stipulation placed on the match at Survivor Series. Michaels claims that all he needs to compete on Sunday is the memory of Orton trying to end his livelihood six months ago. Orton gets rude and the fight is on. Orton beats and batters HBK while Mr. McMahon just stands there and does nothing. However, Mr. McMahon does stop Randy from kicking Shawn's head off once again, but he cannot stop the RKO. Michaels is left lifeless in the ring tonight, but I don't think that will be the case on Sunday.

Melina makes a sexy entrance tonight with Layla and Jillian Hall in a 6 woman tag team match tonight against Mickie James, Michelle McCool and Kelly Kelly. Melina and Michelle start the match off. Michelle tags in Kelly and she faces off against Melina. Melina tags in Jillian and the match continues. Kelly tags in Mickie and she brings the fight to Jillian. Soon all the women are in the ring and the poor ref has to figure out who is legal. Mickie James and Layla are and Mickie gets a quick three count over Layla and picks up a win for her team. It's a nice view that's for sure.

Jerry the King Lawler faces off against Santino Marella. This is what we call a filler match folks. I love King and I hope that he beats the crap out of Marella. I am really wishing someone would super kick him and put him out of commission at some point. King repeatedly knocks Marella down by kicking his thigh. It's a good match up and each man is getting his blows in. King gets an inside cradle and wins the match because Marella was distracted talking to J.R. It's his own fault for underestimating the original King of the Ring!

The comic relief comes from a clip from the training of Hornswaggle for his match against the Great Khali at Survivor Series. Hornswaggle comes out from under the ring and William Regal is over seeing this match. Jonathan Coachman comes out dressed up like Khali and it's supposed to be all in good fun but Coach is not liking being the training dummy. This is cracking me up as Hornswaggle kicks, bites and gets a three count over the dummy "Khali". I have a feeling that the match this Sunday is not going to be fun and games. The disadvantage this Sunday will be that Khali knows how to fight, and Coach thinks he does. Best of luck to Hornswaggle!

Todd Grisham talks with Triple H about his match tonight against Umaga and his match Sunday at Survivor Series this Sunday. Triple H sends a very strong and threatening message to the Samoan Bulldozer. The King of Kings is confident about his ability to win, and frankly so am I (but I'm biased cause Triple H is my favorite wrestler)!

Triple H comes out for his lumberjack match against Umaga. Both men are accompanied to the ring by their lumberjacks and I'm not sure what will be more interesting to watch, the two men in the ring or the lumberjacks on the outside. If either man is knocked to the outside, it's the job of the lumberjacks to put that person back in the ring to continue the match. Triple H is first out of the ring and he knocks the crap out of Matt Striker who tries to put him back in the ring. Umaga is next out of the ring and the lumberjacks are a little hesitant to touch the Samoan Bulldozer. Triple H is tossed out again, and his lumberjacks protect him against the lumberjacks on Umaga's side who would love to dismantle the Game. Umaga and Triple H are beating each other to tiredness at this point, but the match goes on. Triple H appears to have left his Game elsewhere tonight as he is absolutely manhandled by Umaga tonight. This is definitely not making me happy. I hate to see Triple H at a disadvantage. The lumberjacks in Triple H's corner try to rally behind him to get him on his feet but he doesn't remain upright for long. I'm hoping that Triple H does better on Sunday than he's doing tonight. Triple H gets a second wind and gets in some really good hits and a nice DDT on Umaga. The King of Kings fights back and tries to get a Pedigree and gets a Samoan Drop instead. Triple H goes for the win and is interrupted by Finlay. The match is called for interference and all the men rush the ring and start fighting each other. That's how Raw ends tonight folks, they went over time allotted and were rudely cut off by the Steve-O show. I'm pretty sure that we'll get to see more in your face action leading up to Survivor Series tomorrow night on ECW and Friday night on Smackdown.

Out of context!

Recently former WWE champion John Cena was interviewed by CNN for a documentary they were doing called "Death Grip.....Inside Pro Wrestling." One of the topics covered in this interview was the use of steroids by the superstars. This is a very touchy subject with the WWE ever since the tragic murder suicide of Chris Benoit and his family earlier this year. There are two versions of the interview on the link provided. The first version is the unedited version of his interview in which he was asked, "Do you do steroids?" Cena's answer to that was simple, "Absolutely not!" The second version of that interview that aired on the documentary had Cena saying, "I can't tell you I've never done steroids, and you can't prove that I have."

I find this a terrible statement taken completely out of context by the editing staff of CNN. You have to watch both versions of the interview to get the full context of what John Cena was trying to say. I know that sports entertainment especially wrestling has been under the microscope in recent years because more and more athletes are dying due to complications from steroid use or doing something that is completely out of character, as in the case of Chris Benoit. I don't think it's fair to label these athletes are abusers or addicts because while some may make the choice to enhance their bodies in a non natural way, not every single person in the locker room is doing it. I feel that those who are should be punished for going against sports contracts, but for those who are clean why should they be punished and labeled for other's mistakes?

This is reality, there are going to be some superstars who cannot resist the ease of taking enhancements to remain on top of their game and that's a sad reality. I'm sure that the industry as far as wrestling goes is doing it's best to get help for these folks and to make sure that their health is taken into consideration first and foremost. I just feel it was wrong for CNN to shed such a negative light on what John Cena said, because that is not the context in which he made the statement.

One Night Only, Raw Style!

Are you ready? That was the question that kicked off Monday Night Raw tonight as DX walked out in full force. They didn't spare any fanfare tonight as the fans were on their feet and cheering the return of the most incredible tag team in the history of the WWE. Just as Triple H is speaking, Hornswaggle walks out from under the ring and he is so cute mimicking the duo. Triple H tries to shoo Hornswaggle out of the ring. Hornswaggle drops Shawn Michaels but it's all in good fun, he refuses to go back under the ring saying there is a monster under the ring. Then Shawn Michaels is pulled under the ring by something, and when he comes back out he's got earthworms coming out of his mouth. The Boogeyman, ECW's nightmare, comes out from under the ring and man is he nasty. Hornswaggle is so terrified that he's hiding between Triple H's legs.....lol. The Boogeyman wants to know if he can join DX? What? Eww. Then the Great Khali comes out, does he want to join up too? This is getting too crazy, when did DX become a circus sideshow? Damn, out comes Jonathan Coachman next, gee what's he want? He claims that he's shutting this nonsense down right now, calling DX immature. Triple H threatens to use Khali against Coach. Triple H says that Coach said something really bad about the Punjabi giant and Khali reacts in the only way that he knows how, brute force. Once again DX has pulled on over on their opposition. If you don't like that, Los Angeles has two words for you!

The ECW diva Kelly Kelly makes an appearance on Raw to get her revenge on Beth Phoenix, Last week the Glamazon attacked the extreme expose leader during the diva battle royal. Beth is just so strong and dominant there isn't really a diva that is going to be able to reign her in. She reminds me of the women wrestlers of time past, back when the women actually wrestled. Beth takes the win once again!

Santino Marella is still ragging on Stone Cold Steve Austin. I can't wait until the Texas Rattlesnake comes out and opens a can of whoop ass on this Italian punk!

The next filler match begins and it's Carlito in the ring with some guy named Joey who thought he was going to be fighting Carlito. Carlito refuses to wrestle and his replacement is the evil Snitsky. Of course Snitsky gets the win over this young man. What a waste of two minutes. Snitsky then nails Carlito with a huge boot to the head and leaves carnage in the ring in his wake.

An inter-promotional tag team match up kicks off. It's Raw's Jeff Hardy and Smackdown's Rey Mysterio vs Raw's Mr. Kennedy and Smackdown's Finlay. Wow this is going to be one high flying death defying match up. I love the tag team of Hardy and Mysterio, both these men are incredible and not afraid to take risks to win matches. It's on now! Hardy and Finlay lock up to start this match. (Wow Jeff's gone back to blonde, nice!) Jeff Hardy is taken over the top rope by Finlay and lands into the hands of Kennedy. Mysterio comes to Jeff's aid and Kennedy and Finlay face off against each other. I don't think the Mouth and the Irishman are going to get along very well with each other. Mysterio and Kennedy get into the squared circle and the sparks start flying. Finlay gets the tag and he works on grounding the high flyer. Mysterio just came back into action not too long ago from having surgery on his knee due to an injury in a match. Kennedy and Finlay know this and they are sure using it to their advantage right now. Despite the barrage of attacks Mysterio refuses to give up and lay down for the count. He keeps fighting to try to get to his corner to make that much needed tag to Hardy. He finally makes it and Hardy comes in to face off against Kennedy. Hardy hits a whisper in the wind but Finlay interrupts the count, tossing Jeff out. Mysterio enters and delivers a huge 619 to Kennedy and then jumps onto Finlay. This allows Jeff to capitalize and capture a win for himself and Mysterio!

Santino Marella comes to the ring being accompanied by the beautiful Maria. She's so beautiful but could her dress get any smaller and still be PG? Maria keeps trying to tell him that he's going to get in trouble, but he refuses to listen. Marella is sure belittling everyone here tonight! The my bald knight is shining denim Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out to save me from having to listen to anymore of Marella's BS. I have a feeling this is not going to end well for Santino. Stone Cold then corrects Santino on his bad English. "You just don't make a name for yourself off of Stone Cold Steve Austin, EH EH!" Finally the Stunner is delivered and Marella finally shuts up. Sweet! Stone Cold leaves the ring after shoving a copy of the Condemned into Santino's mouth. "I'll be right back!" The he returns driving a Budweiser truck. Oh it's on now! Out come the hoses and if you know Stone Cold you know what comes next. Hilarity ensues and Santino gets a beer bath specialty of the Texas Rattlesnake. Serves him right. Stone Cold eyes Maria and still has the hose in his hand. She gets a beer bath too. Wow she looks really good wet, how fun, I want a turn! I sure do miss Stone Cold, hell yeah!

Mr. McMahon is having another heart to heart with his little son Hornswaggle. Mr. McMahon says that he saved Hornswaggle from the fury of Jonathan Coachman, he says he did it cause he loves his son. There is going to be a match at Survivor Series between The Great Khali and Hornswaggle. Size doesn't matter? Well I guess Mr. McMahon shows just how much he really "loves" his son. How rude. I wish someone would help Hornswaggle out and quit picking on him. He's just too cute to hurt in my opinion.

Triple H has been asked to come on camera and waste time because Stone Cold just sprayed beer all over the ring and the crew is trying really hard to clean it up. A very large fat man comes out in a g-string and starts to dance. Shawn Michaels fails as talent scout, but Triple H fixes it by bringing out The Girls Next Door straight from the Playboy Mansion. Nice. Much better than the oiled up fat man that came out earlier. =D

Cody Rhodes being accompanied to the ring by Hardcore Holly is up next in a match against Trevor Murdock being accompanied by Lance Cade. Mickie James stops Trevor on his way to the ring to say "good luck" on his match, I think there may be something there between Mickie and Trevor. It would be the best thing to happen to the redneck if she gives him the time of day! Rhodes and Murdock lock up and get the match underway. Rhodes picks up the win over Murdock.

There is a really beautiful flashback to the life and career of the Fabulous Moolah who passed away on Friday November 2nd. She had a great career and she paved the way for many of the female wrestlers that we know and love. She was an icon and will be missed greatly!

Another filler match of Super Crazy and Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. With chants of USA, Super Crazy and Hacksaw Jim Duggan win this match up. Interesting pair they make to say the least.

DX vs Umaga and Randy Orton is up finally. Will all the shenanigans of earlier affect the match? I think not. The Samoan bulldozer comes out first, followed by his partner for this match the Legend Killer. (I used to think that Orton was so hot, just goes to show that looks aren't everything!) Dx comes out to a huge fanfare and they are ready for business. The match begins immediately as the two get in the ring and start taking to to Orton an Umaga. Dx clears the ring, so they have to go out to get their opponents back in. Triple H and Orton are the legal men in the ring finally after Orton gets a huge blow to the head off the announcers table from the Cerebral Assassin. DX is on top of their game tonight and they are really taking it to their opponents. Umaga catches Triple H and delivers a huge sidewalk slam laying the King of Kings out momentarily. Umaga is totally taking it to The Game. This is not happy. Triple H narrowly avoided getting Umaga's huge body in his face. Triple H needs to make that tag to his partner, and he does. Shawn Michaels comes in and is up against Orton. Michaels is on fire is seems. Michaels goes up top and lands a nice move on Orton, but Umaga comes in and almost decapitates Michaels. (ouch!)

Umaga gets a tag in and he begins to pummel the Heartbreak Kid. Orton looks a bit shaken but not stirred as he eagerly watches his partner beating on Michaels. Orton tags himself in and starts to capitalize on the injured head of Michaels. He starts to take apart Michaels stomping on every part of his body. How can Triple H allow this? Umaga is back in action and he jumps right on Shawn. I'm pretty sure Shawn has no idea which end is up at this point. I hope he has a good masseuse, he's going to need it after this match. Umaga goes to the second rope and Michaels narrowly missed getting jumped on. He's trying so hard to tag Triple H but Umaga gets Shawn's leg. Shawn kicks Umaga in the head, and gets his tag as Triple H enters the ring facing off against Orton yet again. Umaga is still in the ring for some damn reason and Triple H is taking them both on. He's all aggressive. Triple H goes down from a kick but kicks out of the count. He's not moving very well right now at all. Umaga is back in the ring. Umaga lands the locomotive body shot on Triple H and his head snaps back like a whip. Orton tags himself in like a caged animal, he's looking to end the career of The Game. Well not tonight he's not! Michaels gets back in and Sweet Chin Music finds it's home on Orton's face yet again. DX picks up the win tonight, and I hope it won't be the last we see of this dynamic duo!

The Legend that will never be forgotten!

It saddened me to hear of the passing away of the Fabulous Moolah on Friday November 2nd. This Hall of Fame legend was a true hero of her time, and helped to pave the way for female wrestlers for years to come. Women like Victoria and Trish Stratus were able to compete because women like the Fabulous Moolah took the chance at a sport that during her time was mostly dominated by men.

She is the longest reigning women's champion ever in the history of Wrestling Entertainment with a 28 year reign. (Yes that's 28 years folks!) Moolah came from a time when the women didn't sport fake breasts and enhanced bodies to be beautiful, the women back then were au natural 100%. She actually got in that ring and wrestled too, not just pulled hair and screamed to distract her opponent. She fought her butt off to keep her title and was able to do so for almost three decades! The women now are doing good to keep it for a year or less. It just goes to show that society places more importance on women who are the stuff of fantasies in place of women who can do the job and do it that damned good! I think Beth Phoenix may have a strong chance at taking women's wrestling to new heights if she doesn't get too hooked on her beauty aspect and lose sight of the real goal.

Moolah will be missed by many fans and superstars alike and I must say that I am happy I was able to see her in action in my lifetime of being a fan! Thank you Lillian Ellison, we love you!
