Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Making who SmackDowns tp heel? Both Batista and Taker are face. Who does that leave? Dolph Ziggler? Mike Knox obv. Btw CM Punks promos annoy me but not in a good way. They were good at first but sometimes now when he goes on his 15 minute rants I start channel hopping.

DomDom Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The Gathering III from the Kelvin Hall was tonight. Results ... Damien O'Conor df. Chris Renfrew to win the SWA Laird of the Ring Championship. A bit short, but that can be understood given the nine match card. The action in the time that it was given was as good as you would expect from these two guys. I missed Renfrew's music after the f**k up of the last time, but thankfully, we had it in full this time. Falcon df. Zack Sabre Jr. by pinfall. Falcon won using his awesome Tilt-a-Whirl Adrenaline Spike ! Awesome. The match had a dead crowd for the most part but both guys still put out a very good effort and a great match resulted from it. Sabre did throw out some Danielson things, like the "WHOOAAA !!!" at the Mexican Surfboard, and the swaying of the hips at the Muta Lock. Not that I mind, but it just seemed a bit odd. Good match. Nikki Storm df. Jetta by pinfall. This didn't click in the slightest. Infact, I'd go as far as to say that it was pretty crappy. I can only imagine that this was a one off from these two, since they have gotten some praise for their TXW fued, but it wasn't happening here. Not even in the slightest. Conscience and Majik both lose and both retire in the Career Match. Had some good fun at the expense of Conscience during the match, but I can't say I'm pleased. I'd love for Conscience to come back and sort of murder Eric Canyon with a chainsaw or fire. Anything really. The ending was Conscience tapping and Majik being pinned. Eric Canyon used this oppertunity to get rid of them both. The match was fittingly a bit of a war between the two men but it just seemed a bit dull in parts. I think it suffered, much in the same way as the first match, with the time it had. It just felt a bit short to me. INTERMISSION ************* At this point, I'm a little underwhelmed. A pretty bad match, two disappointing matches and a pretty good match. The worrying starts here. Of course, never fear ... "The Butcher" Scott Renwick df. Liam Thompson, Darkside, William Grange and Kid Fite to win the Money in the Bank Match. This begins the terrific second half in terrific fashion. The action in this one was absolutely fantastic, which it should be when you consider the talent that was in it. The timer going off for the 5 minutes to go mark seemed to take a lot of fans off guard. The crowd were megahot for Butcher, so it was a good idea having him come out first, which made the fans care about the entire match. Darkside was probably the highlight of the match actually. All five men were great though. Great match. Adam Shame df. Johnny Moss by pinfall. This match slowly but surely sucked me into it and by the end I was way into it. It wasn't as big and bruising as I had previously suspected it would be, but it turned out that it didn't have to be. Boddington was winding up some of the crowd a treat. I don't think Shamer is really working as a babyface yet after a superb heel run, but I'm sure given some time, it'll come together. Micken df. BT Gunn by pinfall to win a Ladders Are Legal Match. Wowzers. This was absolutely spectacular. Don't get me wrong. There wasn't much in the way of originality and innovation here. Although there was a fairly cool Whisper in the Wind spot on the floor. What they DID do was up the insanity ante and whipped the crowd into a frenzy with effort alone. They deserved every single praise they got and will get, because they put on something very special tonight. This is a match that I need to see again. Red Lightning df. Jack Jester by DQ. I loved the slow build to the ending, with everyone, including the ring announcer looking at the ref like "don't DQ him" and then the reaction when he DOES. The match had it's place as a come down after the insanity that came before. I don't really remember much about the match. I spent most of it in shock. "The Butcher" Scott Renwick df. Lionheart and Wolfgang to win the NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship. I really should have stuck to my convictions and said that Butcher was going to win the title. A deserved win, but I totally had the Lionheart win bought when he was going up for the Frog Splash and was totally deflated when he hit the knees. Why does he always do this to me in triple threat matches ? This was yet another corker of a match in the second half. OVERALL ******** A show of two halfs. That second half was probably worth the price of admission alone. A couple of genuine beauties in there. I don't think I've seen that many matches of that quality on one show for quite some time. I recommend getting a DVD if it gets released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna get the DVD for any match, make it the ladder match. It's unreal. The crowd were going absolutely batshit for it and I can't blame them one bit. I was sucked in big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I shall indeed check out the ladder match. You kinda knew Butcher would win the MITB, but he actually won the title......quite happy about that. Overall sounds like a great show.....apart from the lackluster start . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of time to do these as well seeing as P and B was down. Match 1 TNA Weekly PPV 27/08/2003 NWA World Heavyweight Championship AJ Styles © w/ Vince Russo vs. Raven I'm gonna have to look out the ladder match these guys had. One of the more famous TNA matches ever to happen. Styles with a kick and then he bounces around a bit. Another kick and he's being all cocky. Another kick from Styles and then Raven with a straight right hand to send the champ down. Headlock from Raven and he sends down Styles and a two count quickly. Raven into the ropes and the Rebound Dropkick misses. Low Headbutt gets a two count for Raven and then they head for the floor. Styles gets right back into the ring because he knows Raven has the advantage on the floor. RAVEN EFFECT DDT ... countered. Raven sends Styles back to the floor and once again Styles gets back into the ring. Suplex from Raven and that gets a two count. Styles into the ropes and he gets dumped over the top rope and this time Raven seems to have the advantage he was looking for. Styles then gets sent into the steps and Raven has a trashcan. Swinging trashcan shot to the head of Styles. Russian Legsweep into the railing. He then does this again and this is why Styles didn't want to end up on the floor. A hat-trick scores for Raven and Styles is in all sorts of trouble. Another one and this is taking the piss a bit. Another one. If it wasn't such a weak looking move, I might be able to put up with it. He goes back into the ring and Russo has the ref distracted. Low blow from Styles. QUEDABRA DDT FROM STYLES !!!

THE STYLES CLASH FROM STYLES !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!! Match Winner : AJ Styles Match Rating : ****1/4 Match Comments : There were times when the TNA overbooking of main events worked like a charm and this was one of them times. They knew how to play on the emotions of the fans this time around. It managed to make AJ Styles look like a real fighting champion without taking away from the cowardly heel side of him. The action was great too as when Raven is motivated he can bring the awesome. The match was really good and is well worth a look. Match 2 WWE MSG 28/12/1990 Earthquake and Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Hulk Hogan and Tugboat Deary me, how did I end up with this one to watch ? Bravo is going to start the match with Hogan. Lockup and Hogan gets sent into the corner. I just can't believe that Bravo is stronger than Hogan in any way. Just look at the two of them for f**k sake.

Match Winners : Hulk Hogan and Tugboat Match Rating : **1/4 Match Comments : This was bog standard Hogan tag team stuff. The heels dominate his partner. He comes in, cleans house and wins the match pretty easily. Tugboat was made to look like a complete muppet in this match as he hardly got an offensive move in there. Match 3 WCW Worldwide 02/01/1993 Barry Windham and Bryan Pillman vs. Shane Douglas and Ricky Steamboat Oh man, this is the kinda thing I wanna see more of.

Pillman runs into a boot and Steamboat with a chop and a right hand. Rhodes is now in a bad way. THE CAST TO THE HEAD OF WINDHAM !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!! Match Winner : Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat Match Rating : ***1/2 Match Comments : They were obviously holding back because this was a TV match, but it didn't stop all four men putting on a hell of an effort for the rabid crowd that they had. The final sequence didn't make much sense as the referee just completely contradicted himself with the decision that he made. Either let a guy wrestle or send him away for god's sake. The tag team action was quality though, so you can't complain about that, and the ending of the match went a long way to payoff the heel turn that Barry Windham made.

ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! Into the corner and Killings with some more right hands. JJ sends him into the ropes. He misses an Enziguri. FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK FROM KILLINGS !!!

GUITAR OVER THE BACK OF KILLINGS !!! JJ DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT !!! REF IS IN THE RING !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!! Match Winner : Jeff Jarrett Match Rating : **1/2 Match Comments : This was quite anti-climatic to say the least. It would appear that Ron "The Truth" Killings has absolutely no idea how to put together a match which is epic, and therefore doesn't really have much in the way of drama to add to this. It even appeared at times as if Jeff Jarrett was wrestling with himself. It was pretty poor. The points for the match have been handed out for the pure effort from both men, which made the match quite watchable. Match 5 WCW Saturday Night 09/05/1992 WCW Television Championship 2/3 Falls Match "Stunning" Steve Austin © w/ Paul E. Dangerously vs. Barry Windham First Fall : Both men are cautious to open and we have the lockup. That's untill Austin decides to do some stalling and the fans aren't happy with that. Lockup and into the corner they go. Lockup and a Headlock Takedown from Austin with the Side Headlock and he keeps the move locked in. Once again he doesn't get much in the way of success and the fans are behind Windham. Another takedown with the Headlock. Back Drop Suplex from Windham, but Austin manages to hold onto the move and this is clearly a time wasting exercise. Windham gets to his feet again and he goes to the Overhead Wristlock to escape the move and Austin turns it into a Headlock so this time Windham goes with another Suplex and that works this time. Snapmare and a Chinlock from Windham. Austin is battling and fighting at this point. Windham into the ropes and he takes down Austin. He misses a boot, but hits a Dropkick and then a right hand. Austin comes back with shots of his own and then a Knee Lift, but he misses a pair of Elbow Drops. More right hands from Windham. Austin into the ropes and a Back Body Drop from Windham. Windham with a right hand and Austin goes over the top. The referee decides that it wasn't deliberate. To the floor and Windham with right hands. Back into the ring they go. Austin gets a shot and then a Snapmare, but Windham goes right to the Headlock that Austin had earlier in the match. Although is it really in his interest to go with moves like that ? Time is the enemy for the challenger in a TV match. Shoulder Block from Austin and then another. Right hand from Austin and then Windham into the corner and he raises a boot and then a Clothesline gets a two count for Windham. Right hand from Windham.

Second Fall : Austin into the ropes and he comes back with clubbing blows. Windham into the ropes and a Running Back Elbow and Windham goes over the top rope and that was a nasty fall.

The same again in the opposite corner. Austin then pushes the face of Windham into the buckle with the boot. Windham then with an elbow to the stomach.

Windham around the apron and then Austin Suplexes Windham back into the ring. That gets a two count. Right hands from Windham and then to the stomach. Jawbreaker from Windham and this match is going downhill. It's not as if it was amazing in the first place. Dropkick from Windham and that misses, so Austin gets a nearfall. Body Slam from Austin and then the Leg Drop off of the buckle and that gets a two count. Chinlock from Austin. Windham fights out, but he can't hit a Body Slam and that gets a two count and Austin goes to the Front Facelock. Austin then uses the ropes for leverage and how could the referee NOT know about that there ? Austin allows Windham up and clubs away. Windham runs right into a Back Elbow and then a two count for Austin. Windham into the ropes and a Back Body Drop from Austin and that gets another two count. We then have a ref bump, which I'm sure is going to add to the greatness of the match ... oh, what greatness ? WINDHAM WITH A ROLL UP FOR THE TITLE !!! Match Winner : Barry Windham Match Rating : DUD Match Comments : How could two guys with that sort of talent have a match as bad as this ? It was absolutely horrific action which had no redeeming factors whatsoever. Match 6 WWE RAW 14/06/1993 Doink the Clown vs. Marty Jannetty This was the first of two matches I remember from these two.

Match 7 WWE Judgement Day 2007 WWE United States Championship 2/3 Falls Match Chris Benoit © vs. MVP Fall Out : The sound here is horrific. This would be the big payoff of Benoit basically making MVP look like a million. Lockup and into the ropes they go. They stay in the corner and then the lockup goes to the floor.

It made MVP look like an absolute star against one of the top guys in WWE. Almost the entire thing was dominated by MVP and he dissected Benoit's knee for the whole match, won completely clean and didn't need any cheating. The only problem is that it was a wee bit long for what they were going for, but kudos to Benoit for the job he did here.

Match Winners : The Miz and John Morrison Match Rating : * Match Comments : This was a squash match. The only thing keeping it intriguing was the wondering if the tag titles would stay where they were when MVP called for the rematch. Mostly, the match was kind of boring, but that wasn't the fault of the guys in the ring. It was the fault of the booking, but in saying that, it was only that way to extend other storylines. Fair play to that. Match 10 WWE RAW 30/06/2003 World Heavyweight Championship Triple H © vs. Rob Van Dam HHH takes control early in the match and then rubs the face of RVD into the mat.

I have major issues with the selling from RVD though. He had his knee beaten for about 5+ minutes and then just done a series of kicks to come back into the match as if it never happened. Plenty of good booking and good drama helped this above the norm though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0rtonfc Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I watched RAW last night as per and I think this may be my last time for a while, some of the stuff in it is now cringe worthy and people like that Hornswaggle guy make me want to throw my TV out the window, how many more times do we need to sit and watch a terible fight for him to pop out under the ring with his stupid wee face!! I'm also sick of John Cena, he is terrible and I really can't believe he is the face of the WWE! DX are shocking too and don't even get me started on the Cena v Orton patter! Only Smackdown from now on I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
