The Wrestling Thread

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

I don't think Melina and Gail helped themselves after their childish behaviour in the Battle Royal on Monday night.

I have been very impressed by Masters whenever I seen him on Superstars, he had greatly improved in the ring from his first WWE stint and he always seemed to get a decent pop from the crowd. He could be a big star in TNA if they used him right. That is a big if when TNA are concerned though!

I could see TNA taking on all these released folk, except for DH Smith as he was a bland waste of space.

[DomDom]

It's amazing that when he was first in WWE, he was crap. Nowadays, he's pretty much almost universally recognized as one of the most consistant performers in WWE. He dragged some right belters out of some right shit over the last 12 months on Superstars. It's a real shame to see that he's been kicked out.

I was always a bit iffy about Ronin. He looks like the kind of guy who you'd see on one of them shitty tribute shows and doesn't wrestle much better than that. Scott Lost as always is very good here. **1/2

Karl Anderson vs. Disco Machine

Karl Anderson would go on to team with Giant Bernard in NJPW in a team called Bad Intentions. Lockup and a Waistlock from Disco and then we have a Full Nelson from Anderson and then Disco goes to the Headlock and Anderson wants none of that. Disco with some dancing and I can't see that ending well for him. Anderson with a kick to the gut and then a chop. Disco rolls through and then does some dancing and Anderson sweeps him down and goes for the Boston Crab and Disco manages to get out of that and Anderson isn't happy with the shenanigans of Disco up to this point.

ANDERSON SPINEBUSTER AND THEN THE BOSTON CRAB AND DISCO TAPS !!!

This match was poor stuff for the most part. It had a sense of fun because of the characters involved so I'll give points for that but mostly this simply wasn't good enough. *

Joey Ryan vs. Frankie Kazarian

Kaz unloads to get us going and then sends Ryan to the floor and he's going mental on Ryan and then he sends him into a bunch of chairs. Kaz is not a happy man at the moment!

This match isn't very good at all. 3/4*

TJ Perkins, Zokre and Phoenix Star vs. Super Dragon, Bino Gambino and Rocky Romero

I fully expect things to take a turn for the better with this match. There is a LOT of good talent in this match. Dragon wants to bring a chair into things and Romero throws the chair backstage.

REVERSE RANA FROM STAR !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

I've always liked watching Los Luchas. They have some really good innovation when they wrestle. Bino looked a bit sloppy for the most part when he was in there. Super Dragon has nowhere near the intensity that he used to have. This was a decent enough match though. ***

Chris Bosh vs. Claudio Castagnoli

Claudio has a whole IRS thing going on here, as it looks like he's gonna wrestle in the suit. Lockup and Claudio takes down Bosh and goes to the Front Facelock. Bosh escapes and turns over Claudio and tries for a pin but doesn't get it and Claudio goes to the Headlock. Claudio then slaps Bosh. Headlock and into the ropes and he charges down Bosh.

Lots of big moves. Claudio wasn't quite the smart worker he is today at this point. He was still great fun though. He had mastered the power wrestler stuff. Chris Bosh was pretty good surprisingly as the underdog. ***1/2

Human Tornado © vs. Kevin Steen - PWG Heavyweight Championship

Steen gets the match going before the bell by totally laying into the champion. Steen looks like a desperate man for this one. Running Back Elbow from Steen and that gets a two count.

Good arguement there lad. Steen then chokes Tornado with the boot. Knee to the back from Steen. Steen now works over Tornado a wee bit more. Tornado in the "Tree of Whoa!"

Kevin Steen did all he could in this one to make the title seem like a big deal. Human Tornado's comedy doesn't really suit the big prize especially when you consider how seriously Kevin Steen takes it. I hate the slow cover spots and there was a few in this match. This was a decent match before the ending. **3/4

The heat segment on Quicksilver went on forever, but the characters involved in the heel team made it all worthwhile. Roderick Strong being busted open for the final stretch added a new dimension to it as it was hardway and he was clearly feeling the effects of it. It was a very good main event in a division that PWG always prided themselves in. ****

They were just coming off a major show so they were really looking to just settle things down here and they managed to do that. A great main event caps off a solid and unspectacular effort from the PWG crew.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

The male locker room at TNA must be rubbing their hands with the prospect of Melina heading their way, alledgedly..

[forehead7]

I hope it was a "f**k you" to John Morrison. That'll stop his bitching.

[Marshmallo]

WTF is JTG doing with the New Nexus on SD?

They seem to be going about things the right way on SD and building decent feuds throughout the whole show which make sense. Sheamus and Henry is cracking and that's overshadowing the world title stuff atm.

It's amazing how much more interesting the Usos are just through them doing the Haka.

EDIT: Booker just said JTG likes to be known as "J T Jizzle" :lol:

Am I the only one who has always liked Masters? Even during his first push?

Am I the only one who has always liked Masters? Even during his first push?

New Years Revolution 2006 was the first WWE event I had watched since Wrestlemania 18 in 2002 and without knowing anything beforehand about most of the wrestlers on the show, I assumed Masters was one of the top guys in the company. His ring skills weren't the best but he had a good gimmick, a great look and his old entrance and music were awesome! I think he was ruined after DX ripped the piss out of him on TV after his return from a 'roids suspension.

I don't really know why I continued watching WWE after a PPV featuring Shelton Benjamin's momma and an 11 minute Diva's Bras and Panties match that was won by Ashley Massaro.

Am I the only one who has always liked Masters? Even during his first push?

I've always loved him.

I one time tried to put a masterlock on my brother(who's about 7 years older than me). He was sitting down and I just didn't get it locked in and he stood up and grabbed my head, so it was in a stunner position. But because we're about the same height, his shoulder was digging into my sternum and he held me in the position too long and it really fucked it. I couldn't sneeze without being in pain for months cause of it!

[Shuggie_Murray7]

Hard to believe that he and Carlito have both competed in Elimination Chambers. I mean I always loved Masters but when you consider what he's done the last 2 years it's mental. Carlito on the other hand turned into a fat lazy b*****d whereas Masters got better and better with time.

Joey Ryan vs. Top Gun Talwar

Lockup and Ryan goes right to the wedgie. Rick Knox isn't really sure what to do with that. Lockup and the same again and then an ass chop from Talwar. Kick to the gut from Ryan and then he gets sent to the corner and then a slap to the ass. Atomic Drop from Talwar and then he wipes his ass before sweeping down Ryan. More spankin' from Talwar and he gets charged into the corner. Ryan then slaps Talwar and he doesn't like this comedy. Talwar with a slap of his own and then he slaps the ass and then shows it on the floor. More of the same and then Ryan gets dropped ass first on the ring apron. Talwar asks fans if they want to slap the ass. Talwar winds up just dropping the ass on the ring apron. Running Headbutt to the ass and then another. This is ridiculous. In a good way of course. Ryan has had enough of this stuff and backs into the corner. Talwar runs into a boot and then gets poked in the eye. Ryan then just rakes the eyes of Talwar. He rakes Talwar with the boot. Camel Clutch from Ryan. Ryan then rubs the face of Talwar into the canvas. Talwar then starts headbutting the ass of Ryan. Well, at least he's consistant. Knee Drop from Ryan. Fantastic commentary for this one btw. Talwar comes back with an eye rake and they now exchange eye rakes. Big eye rake from Ryan but Talwar hits the ropes and lands a Running Eye Rake. Rick Knox then takes an eye rake. LOW BLOW FROM RYAN !!! LOW BLOW FROM TALWAR !!! RYAN FALLS INTO A LOW BLOW ON KNOX !!! Ryan is now set on the top rope. Ryan is then crotched on the top rope.

Dropkick from Ryan appears to put a stop to the shenanigans. Body Slam from Ryan and the fans stand and applaud. FLYING LEG DROP ... MISSES !!! Eye rake from Talwar. SUPERKICK FROM RYAN !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Thank the lord for Top Gun Talwar. I love the comedy that they can do at times. Joey Ryan is simply not very good but when you have someone like Talwar at his best in there with him, it doesn't really matter. ***

I think because this was a thrown together match, they didn't really do as good a job as they could. The fact that everything felt a wee bit rushed didn't help matters at all. They put forward a good effort though. ***

This show had a lot more focus than the last one. There was one match which can rank as an all time great PWG match. A great tag team match from four guys you can expect it from and the start of some new issues.

Watching SmackDown is quite painful. There is an unreal amount of shit on that show!

Chris Masters and David Hart Smith released as well.

Bit weird considering Masters is part of the Summerslam advert.

[Booker_d]

Nah, he didn't have Sable in his corner at that point. She had fantastic tits, the only reason to watch his matches to be honest.

Harsh, I really liked his boxer gimmick and his storyline with Salvatore Sincere.

[meenanisaloon]

They need to get Cole and Booker of commentary on SD

[#Gary]

They need to get Cole and Booker of commentary on SD

Indeed.

Tyson Kidd and Daniel Bryan had a cracking match, and it was barely even mentioned on commentary ... ridiculous.

You wouldn't think it would make a huge difference but it really, really does. It takes so much away from great matches rather than enhance them.

I like my commentary when the commentator acually knows the name of the moves we are watching rather than saying "Big move......high impact......he's in pain". Commentate on what's fucking happening FFS!!! Or wors yet I'll take for example Kidd vs Danielson and the commentators are talking about what Randy Orton is going to do to Christian later tonight. f**k off, you can talk about that when it happens, in the mean time talk about the match that's actually taking place.

El Generico © vs. Davey Richards - PWG Heavyweight Championship ( ***3/4 )

Excalibur has stripped Cape Fear of the tag team titles because they haven't been defended in two shows. This commissioner of food and beverage job is serious business. Dino Winwood confirms that there is going to be a tag team tournament and he and Excalibur will pick the same the same number of teams each. Excalibur already has his first team selected for the tournament. Jay and Mark Briscoe have been picked by Excalibur. "MAN UP!!!". Fans : "They'll no show!" Frankie Kazarian hits the ring and he says that Human Tornado has taken his ball and gone home. He wants permission to challenge anyone who doesn't have a match. Dino Winwood says yes and Kazarian goes with Disco Machine. Kazarian is sick of the PWG interference and he wants a share of PWG. A fan wants a hair vs. share match. Good shout from the crowd there.

Frankie Kazarian vs. Disco Machine

So Disco takes the challenge and his share is on the line here. Kaz gets a mixed reaction from the audience after the opening promo. I can only assume he's the heel here, hence why I have put his name first. Kaz with a Waistlock and Disco goes behind and then Kaz finds the ropes quickly there. Lockup and Kaz goes to the Arm Ringer and Disco with the Hammerlock. Headlock from Disco. Against the ropes they go and then Kaz into the ropes and he runs into a pair of Arm Drags. Clothesline from Kaz turns the momentum pretty early here. Uppercut and a Body Slam from Kaz and that gets a two count. Snap Suplex from Kaz and that gets a two count. Disco now comes back with right hands and Kaz into the ropes and he gets a Sunset Flip and then kicks Disco in the arse. Snapmare from Kaz and then a Chinlock with a knee in the back. Back to the feet they go now and Kaz sends Disco to the apron. Kaz charges and ends up on the floor. SUICIDE DIVE FROM DISCO !!! Disco goes to work on Kaz and then to the top rope. Cross Body and that gets a two count for Disco. CHOKEBREAKER ... Kaz avoids and goes for his move but they counter and Kaz with the Bicycle Kick on Disco and that gets a two count. Disco into the corner and a Clothesline from Kaz and then Disco into another corner and he gets a right hand. HUGE TORNADO DDT FROM DISCO !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! He added an extra wee swing to that there. Forearms and chops from both men now. Kaz into the corner and the High Knee from Disco and then a Clothesline. Climbing Dropkick from Disco and that gets a two count. Hammerlock and Kaz rolls through and gets a two count. Kaz counters again and gets a La Magistral Cradle gets two. EXPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE CORNER FROM DISCO !!! CORKSCREW SENTON ... MISSES !!! INVERTED TOMBSTONE FROM KAZ !!! Kaz now heads for the floor and what's he up to here. Disco to the apron and then Kaz brings him in. SLINGSHOT ACE CRUSHER FROM KAZ !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! KAZ WIPES OUT THE REFEREE !!! Dino Winwood comes out. WAVE OF THE FUTURE FROM KAZ !!! Dino is waking up the referee here. Kaz hits Dino. DINO KNOCKED OFF THE APRON !!! THE CHOKEBREAKER FROM DISCO !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Kaz appeared to be in something of a transitional period at this point. Throwing out some of his bigger moves but midmatch that would become finishers in the future. This was decent opening match fun here. **1/2

Kaz completes his heel turn and kicks Dino Winwood right in the balls.

Chris Bosh and Scott Lost vs. Kevin Steen and Frankie the Mobster

The Mobster? Really? I thought I was done ever seeing that guy again. His promo is so tasteless that even the PWG fans boo him. He looks like he has a severe case of roid rage. Frankie kisses Steen. Frankie then kisses Bosh. Lost is wondering what in the name of shit is going on? Frankie kicks Bosh and then into the ropes and then a Gorilla Press Slam from Frankie and then he just shouts some more. Bosh then sends Frankie into the middle buckle. Steen comes in and then hits the low blow. Bosh into the ropes and he heads for the floor. He's clearly had enough of this already. DIVES FROM STEEN AND FRANKIE !!! Steen feels the need to calm Frankie down. That doesn't work and Frankie has a chair. Steen is like "no!" and that proves to be enough. STEEN WITH THE SLINGSHOT DOUBLE STOMP !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! Back Rake from Steen and then he takes Bosh's shirt of and rubs it in his face. Steen with the chop to the chest of Bosh. Bosh is sent into the boot. Bosh into the ropes and then the Big Boot from Frankie and then he knocks Lost off of the apron. Frankie then gets in the face of the referee. Big chop from Frankie. More chops and then in comes Steen. Double Back Elbow from the IWS team and then a Double Snot Rocket. Somersault Leg Drop from Steen. Frankie settles for a stomp and that gets a two count for Mr. Wrestling and then Steen bites the arm of Bosh. Clothesline from Steen but then Bosh runs in with a Dropkick and sends Bosh to the floor. Lost heads to the floor and runs back in and hits a boot and then a nice Clothesline and that gets a two count. Suplex from Lost and that gets a two count. Chinlock from Lost. Steen with a comeback and then he lands a chop and hits the ropes and then runs into the knee in the gut and then Lost spits at Frankie, who blatantly doesn't care.

SHARPSHOOTER ON FRANKIE !!! SUPERKICK FROM STEEN TO LOST !!! THE SHARPSHOOTER FROM STEEN ... BOSH BREAKS WITH THE STO BACKBREAKER !!! Chops from Frankie now. Bosh runs into an elbow. Steen bites the ass. DOOMSDAY BLOCKBUSTER !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... KICKOUT !!! Frankie is sent to the floor. SUICIDE DIVE FROM LOST TO FRANKIE !!! THE LOW BLOW FROM BOSH !!! SMALL PACKAGE FROM LOST !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

It's a bit disjointed but the guys in it made sure it remained fun regardless. ***

TJ Perkins vs. Ronin

Ronin has gone through some good wrestlers. Shingo and Matt Sydal in the list of those defeated in his undefeated streak. They lockup and then break. Lockup and then they break again and are we gonna get anything from them here? Headlock from Perkins and then he takes Ronin over. Headlock Takedown again takes Ronin back down to the canvas as Perkins is doing well. Perkins into the ropes and he gets a Clothesline but Ronin doesn't go down. They collide in the middle of the ring and Perkins does not do right. Slap to the face from Perkins and he hits the ropes so Ronin with the big elbow strike. I'm beginning to think I've gotten Ronin wrong. Dropkick from Perkins and then he gets an Arm Drag and an Arm Bar to take Ronin back down. Hammerlock from Perkins and then Ronin manages to find the bottom rope. They now lock hands and Perkins is looking for a way to take Ronin down and does. Perkins rolls over and goes to a form of the Camel Clutch. Perkins takes down Ronin and then locks the legs. THE DELPHIN CLUTCH FROM PERKINS !!! The referee isn't counting the pin. Tit. Anyways Ronin gets out and lands some chops. Kicks to the leg from Perkins and then a kick to the chest. Ronin misses a charge and Perkins gets under him and then lands some more chops and then sets Ronin in the Shattered Dreams position and lands some uppercuts. Running Dropkick to the chest from Perkins there and then he hits the ropes and misses a charge and winds up on the floor. Chop from Ronin and some of the smarter fans decide to make their move. More chops from Ronin and then back into the ring. Ronin's selling is top class btw. Perkins into the ropes and a Back Elbow from Ronin and that gets a two count. Judo DDT from Ronin and that gets a two count. Ronin is wondering why the fans aren't into it. Slap and a Spin Kick from Perkins and then he runs right into the Sidewalk Slam and that gets a two count. Ronin with the Chinlock. DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ... Perkins counters for a two count.

BRUTAL LARIAT FROM RONIN !!! ANOTHER ONE !!! ONE ! TWO ! THRE ... KICKOUT !!! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER FROM RONIN !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

It's not really a knock on the guys in the match, but the fans weren't into this because Ronin is no longer the underdog. The work is very solid and both guys do everything they can to build this one. ***1/4

Nemesis vs. Phoenix Star

The fans want to see a show stealer here by the sounds of things. They're hot. Nemesis goes behind and then Star with a kip and a Headlock. Nemesis then fights out and then goes to the arm. Star with some flipping again and then he takes Nemesis over with the Fireman's Carry and goes to the Arm Bar. STO from Nemesis and then a sweep from Sky and we have a pair of two counts and the fans enjoy that. Nemesis then goes to the eyes. Nemesis throws down Star and then hits the ropes and lands a Leg Drop and that gets a two count. Spinebuster and then he lands some chops and this is just weird. Star with the Arm Drag and then he goes around and takes another one. Kick to the gut from Nemesis and then he lands the big chop. Star goes over Nemesis. CODE RED FROM STAR !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! Flying Back Elbow from Star and that gets a two count. Nemesis with the Gutbuster and then a Flipping Neckbreaker and that gets a two count. Back Drop Suplex from Nemesis and that gets a two count. Satellite Backbreaker from Nemesis and that gets a two count. Nice Rana from Star and then he winds up on the apron.

SHOCK TREATMENT FROM NEMESIS !!! ONE ! TWO ! KICKOUT !!! Nemesis then heads for the top rope. Star stops him up there. BACK DROP SUPLEX OFF THE TOP FROM STAR !!! ONE ! TWO ! THREE !!!

Some of the moves and execution were very nice indeed. That's the most I can say about that. **

Karl Anderson vs. Colt Cabana

This should be some quality comedy between these two guys. Anderson doesn't have his cap with him tonight by the looks of things. The bell rings and this one is off. Colt points out the fans think Anderson is a fake Goldberg. Lockup and Anderson goes to the arm of Colt. Colt then rolls around a bit and then goes under the legs of Anderson and spanks Anderson. Anderson brings out a "yo mama" joke which pleases the fans. Fans: "You got served!" Anderson: "I'm gonna serve all your mamas!" Lockup and into the corner they go and we have a clean break because Anderson shites it. Lockup again and into the other corner. Another flinch and then Cabana into the ropes and Anderson just doesn't want to be hit. O'Connor Roll and that gets a two count. Cabana now twists at the leg of Anderson. Cabana works on the leg of Anderson and then Anderson comes back into the match. Cabana with a snot rocket puts a stop to that. Kick to the gut there from Anderson and then a Headlock. Cabana then gets knocked to the canvas and then a second time. Anderson into the ropes and then he lands a Hiptoss. Cabana is back up and he sends Anderson to the ropes and then hits the ropes himself and Anderson with a Body Slam and Cabana is back on his feet. Anderson just keeps shooting with his imaginary machine gun and suddenly Colt has been struck and he falls to his knees. Anderson is wondering what the hell is going on here. School Boy from Cabana and that gets a two count. Anderson gets run into the top buckle and then a second time. Anderson tries to do it, but just gets tripped up. Cabana then offers the leg. Anderson is feeling a bit weird about this as well he should because he got sucked in and Cabana goes to the Arm Bar. Anderson fights out and lands some kicks to the back and then stomps to the gut. Anderson now with an eye poke on the floor and then he rakes the eyes of Cabana. Kick to the face from Anderson and I think he's been all goofed out and he lands some right hands and shoves Cabana over a chair. Headbutt to the gut from Cabana and then he tries to untie the laces of Cabana. Snapmare from Anderson and then he goes to the Chinlock. Cabana hits the ropes and runs right into the Dropkick of Anderson and that gets a two count. Anderson then heads to the middle rope and jumps right into the boot of Cabana but then Anderson just lays in the stomps yet again. ANDERSON WITH THE SENTON SPLASH OFF THE TOP ... MISSES !!! Anderson drools after that which the fans obviously don't approve of. Jabs from Cabana and then the misses a big right hand but lands a Bionic Elbow. Anderson into the ropes and the Flying Butt Bump and then a Hiptoss from Cabana. Into the corner we go and Cabana with a series of right hands. Cabana then just flips Anderson over and that gets a two count and then Cabana sent into the corner. Anderson then misses a charge and gets crotched in the corner and Cabana with more charges and then he gets the tango. Butt Bump. SPINEBUSTER INTO THE BOSTON CRAB FROM ANDERSON AND CABANA TAPS !!!

I'm becoming a big fan of Karl Anderson. He's just such a fun character. The match was just fun. ***

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Rocky Romero

Some real potential to be had in this match. The fans get behind Romero to get us going here. Lockup and into the corner they go. We have a clean break coming out of that. Lockup and Claudio goes behind with the Waistlock. Romero goes to the arm and then takes down Claudio who gets right back up and tries to find his way out of the move and goes to the Arm Ringer. Some dickwad in the crowd shouts "boring" and gets shouted down. Romero kicks the leg and we're back to the feet. Romero now tries to grab a leg, and Claudio grabs the head. Romero tries and fails to escape from that. Romero tries to go to the Cross Armbreaker and Claudio is able to power out of that and then goes behind and Romero finds the bottom rope. That was some very cool wrestling right there. Headlock from Claudio and then into the Side Headlock. Romero into the Head Scissors but Claudio gets away from that pretty quickly. Romero does eventually find his way to the Cross Armbreaker, but Claudio then rolls through and in with a Chinlock while having the neck locked. Knee to the gut from Romero and a Snapmare and he goes for the Cross Armbreaker yet again. Claudio rolls through and then lifts Romero, but he rolls through and gets the Short Arm Scissors, but Claudio escapes and Romero goes with the Waistlock instead and then does a belting Body Scissors. Claudio flips him over and Romero into the ropes and they collide in the middle of the ring. Running Dropkick to the knee but he misses another Dropkick and we have a stalemate between the two guys.

El Generico © vs. Davey Richards - PWG Heavyweight Championship

Richards has a headband on and the fans aren't amused by these antics. Lockup and against the ropes they go and we have a clean break. Richards lets us know that he doesn't need to cheat. Nice to know. He's clearly not a Guerrero. CHEAT TO WIN~~~!!! Anyroads, Richards goes to the arm of Generico and we go against the ropes again and Generico slaps Richards away and he heads for the floor. Very uncharacteristic of Generico there. Richards back into the ring cautiously. Richards is trying to get the fans behind him. Richards heads for the floor and then heads for the back and Generico is wondering what's going on, and then calls Richards a crybaby. Well he doesn't SAY it, but his actions are clear enough. Lockup and a Headlock from Richards. Richards into the ropes and he charges down Generico. Arm Drags now from El Generico and he winds up with the Arm Bar. Arm Ringer from Generico and Richards bridges and tries to kick out, but Generico seen it coming and gets another Arm Drag into the Arm Bar on Richards.

That was a good wee main event there. Davey Richards hadn't quite experted the heel act at this point and was breaking the match up with his antics and the fans found it hard to get into the serious final stretch as a result. ***3/4

Solid show. There wasn't anything on the show really built to be a showstealer or anything but there were lots of matches just to keep the fans entertained and I'm sure that it worked.

I've been watching alot of the "big story" in WWE at the minute all day. I have to say I much prefer this promo to the original "shoot"

Cuttng a shoot is easy, but cutting a belting promo based on the story/angle and making it completely and utterly believeable rather than talking about actual things, where the main reason people love it is because of the shock value. This is a fucking incredible segment.

I watched Smackdown last night, god that show is pretty rubbish these days eh!.

Booker on the mic made a stinking mistake when he said that Christian done a side walk slam only to be corrected by Cole that it was actually a spine buster haha, I'm pretty sure he said it was more of less the same thing or I may have heard that wrong?.
