Official WWE/TNA/ROH Thread

[HollywoodLeo]

for the longest time I watched any WWE show as a sort of "formality" more out of habbit than anything else, cuz it was all boring as hell.

As of late, as in the past four or five months, Raw has really caught my interest, while Smackdown has remained bland as always.

[Witlon]

making Cole look like an idiot isn't hard to do

but yeah SD has been on a long road down hill for years

if the WWE really cared about the SmackDown brand (which is shown that they don't and only use it as a minor league system), in the 1st WWE "draft", they should have HHH stay on SmackDown and not get "traded".

I can't agree with that. Smackdown ended up with Booker T(an upper midcarder in his entire time with Smackdown) and the Dudley Boys(a great tag team, despite being bland for the last 2 years before that.) Plus, we got the great Trips-puts-Shelton-over-in-Shelton's-debut match out of it, which is good enough for me.

[Kingdom]

They need to get smackdown off of a ghetto channel.

[Kingdom]

Lashley v.s. Booker T every friday for the rest of the summer, apparently.

[ghettochild]

whats your vengance picks for tonight?

[Kingdom]

I figure Edge and Cena will interfere in each other's matches (along with Heyman and a cast of ECW characters). Something weird will happen in the DX-Spirit Squad match, prolly going against DX. Orton will only win by cheating or Cowboy Bob interefering.

[redsfan28]

DX will lose this round but get their revenge probably at SummerSlam.
RVD will retain due to interference.
Flair wins 2 falls to 1 vs. Foley.
Cena will win.
Orton will win.

[HollywoodLeo]

I heard Orton's hand is injured (via this thread)

with that in mind I don't think he'll win this match.

edit: doesn't appear to be effecting him much, though. He seems to be using his hands like normal.

[HollywoodLeo]

other predictions

Edge wins, they've had their fun with the "controversy" of RVD taking the belt to ECW, now Edge will take it back and Heyman will proclaim RVD to still be the ECW champ, officially branching the two "brands" off.

Cena wins, the odds are against him, same ol story

DX wins with a run in from an unexpected participant or with a failed interference attempt from Vince. (although I can see myself being completely wrong here)

Flair will win...unfortunatly

[HollywoodLeo]

Wow, Randy won...fair and square

edit: didn't see that he took the top turnbuckle off...but that's lame in the realm of "cheating"

[Slyder]

Carlito joins DX because then they can have 2 more words for ya "that's kewl". I just have a feeling that a 3rd guy for DX will "make the save" and then be revealed as the newest member of dX. Maybe one of the Spirit Squad guys turning just as a curveball?

vengence results (highlight for results)


















Vengeance opened up with a video package looking at what transpired at ECW One Night Stand with Rob Van Dam defeating John Cena for the WWE Championship, with Edge costing Cena the title. Rob Van Dam defends against Edge tonight, as well as John Cena continuing his war with ECW as he takes on Sabu in an Extreme Lumberjack Match. D-Generation X are also back together as Shawn Michaels and Triple H face off with the entire Spirit Squad, and you have to believe that Mr. McMahon will play some part in that match. The fireworks then went off in the arena for the start of the show as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to Charlotte!

Orton vs Angle
The music of Randy Orton hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring, out for revenge on Kurt Angle who broke his ankle months back, and also defeated him at ECW One Night Stand. ECW’s Kurt Angle then made his way to the ring and we are set to go. Angle and Orton went to lock up and Orton backed off into the ropes. Orton again backed into the ropes to stay away from the former Olympic Gold Medallist. Angle with a double leg takedown and then rode Orton on the mat. Angle locked in a hammerlock and turned it into a pinning situation with the hammerlock still locked in for two. Angle and Orton locked up again and Angle with a single leg and Orton grabbed the ropes yet again. Angle with a right hand and went for a German off the apron but Orton held onto the ropes for dear life. Angle hammered the back of Orton and went for it again but Orton stubbornly wouldn’t release the ropes. Orton elbowed Angle off the apron to the floor, but then Angle nailed a German on the floor on the Legend Killer. An ECW chant started up as Angle entered the ring and Orton pulled himself to his feet. On the apron, and Angle went to suplex Orton back into the ring and succeeded in doing so. Angle rode Orton on the mat again and Orton again made the ropes. Orton with a thumb to the eye and a nice dropkick on Angle and then tossed him to the outside.

Orton tossed Angle back into the ring and covered for two.

Orton nailed some mounted right hands on Angle and then nailed a knee drop for a two count. Orton locked in a rear naked choke on the Wrestling Machine but Angle got Orton on his back and nailed a modified Samoan drop. Angle nailed an uppercut and then sent Orton to the ropes but Orton reversed and nailed a back elbow for a two count before going back to the rear chin lock. Orton used the ropes to his advantage to gain extra leverage on the chin lock. Angle fought out with elbows to the mid section and then ran the ropes but was met with a knee to the gut and then a knee drop for a near fall. Orton again went back to the chin lock. Orton wrenched away on Angle and the crowd is so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Angle fought out of the hold with an arm drag but then Orton exploded out of nowhere with a clothesline. Orton heads to the top rope and Angle exploded up there with a belly to belly from the top. Angle nailed a belly to belly, and then second.

Angle went for the Angle Slam but Orton reversed into his modified backbreaker for a two count. Orton seems to be going for the RKO but Angle shoves him off into the corner. Orton takes off the corner pad and Angle gives him a German. Angle continues with seven more German’s and Orton rolls to the floor, and he looks to be out of it. An “Angle” chant started up in the arena as Angle followed out. Angle tossed Orton back into the ring and covered for a near fall. Angle went for the Ankle Lock but Orton kicked him away. Orton leans on the exposed turnbuckle and Angle takes him from behind with the Angle Slam. Angle took down the straps and then locked in the Ankle Lock in the middle of the ring. Orton writhed in pain and was close to tapping but he somehow rolled through sending Angle into the exposed turnbuckle and then nailed the RKO for the win!

Mr. McMahon is on the phone and tells the guy that Vengeance is his. He said Spirit Squad will never forget what happened to them last Monday. There’s a knock at the door and in comes a kid in a wheelchair wearing a dX t-shirt. McMahon shakes his hand and then pulls the wheelchair closer. McMahon asked where the rooster was or the space aliens and he thinks this is a dX trap. McMahon says he knows why he’s here. The kid looks scared and McMahon tells him to shut up. McMahon says he’s taking him for a ride and pushes him in the wheelchair out of the door and it went crashing into something. McMahon laughed and then there’s another knock at the door and Coach comes in. He said he found the penis pump outside his door. McMahon said the joke was just on dX. Coach then says invited a close family friend to the building tonight, and McMahon is his hero. He said he just wants an autograph, he’s a young kid in a wheelchair, and he will stay that way for the rest of his life. McMahon gulped as we go back to the arena.

After the match, Foley brings out his baseball bat with barbed wire around and strikes Flair with it, busting open the "Nature Boy." Agents come out to break it up as Flair's family looks quite concerned for Flair's well being. Flair is a "crimson mask." Fans chant "Foley sucks."

Blood is visible on the mat from Flair's blood bath. Fans don't really know whom to pull for. Other than the Flair match, crowd has been pretty lack luster thus far. Carlito springboarded himself off the top rope onto Benjamin and Nitro on the arena floor. Melina did lots of screaming. As the match progressed, fans seemed to back Carlito. Benjamin threw Nitro over the top rope to work on Carlito. Benjamin had Nitro beat, but Melina her man's foot on the bottom rope. Carlito nearly won with a victory roll. Benjamin shook the ropes to block Nitro from superplexing Carlito. Next was a great spot where all three superplexed from the corner ropes, as fans chanted "holy sh*t."

Nitro wins the IC title at 12:04.

DX vs. the Spirit Squad in a 5 on 2 handicap match. HHH on the mic, says "are you ready?" HHH and HBK do the usual New Age Outlaws DX promo - two words for ya! DX plays paper, rock, scissors with HBK winning, so he started the match for DX, Mitch for the Squad. This doesn't have the feel of being a PPV main event, but rather just another Raw rematch. In a melee, Johnny ended up bleeding from his nose. Spirit Squad regrouped in the corner. Johnny, wrapped his head with a Japan symbol, i guess he knows MMA. HHH tagged in and gave him a right hand punch. Referee Mickey Hansen is having trouble keeping law and order. The Squad triple teams HHH and slams him into the ring steps on the outside.
