The 10th Day News Report for 5.23.07

Smackdown rundown, NWA title tournament matches announced, Heat results, TNA house show dates, EWR on 411, ECW recap, injury updates and two wrestlers jockey for reality shows

MAILBAG

The move you are thinking of is the Alley-Oop. if you have played the Smackdown game you'd know what i was talking about. Tori(the DX tori) used to use it as her finisher and the Big Show occasionally did it. it's where they lift their opponent up into the Powerbomb position but instead toss them overhead so they land on their face.
-John

Thanks for clearing up the proper name of what a face first jackknife powerbomb would be. I'm still impressed by the bump from such a small girl.

What's up dude. I was actually thinking perhaps since Armando isn't there Umaga would snap and attack the Mcmahons rather than give Vince the win again.
-John

This is in response to my thoughts in my Judgment Day preview. I think Umaga turning on the McMahons and going face is a good idea and would help prolong the character's limited shelf life. One might remember when Kamala turned faced after years of being a similar styled heel. It probably would have made a better storyline than Vince lamely claiming he was still ECW champion because he personally wasn't pinned. However, that should lead to the big singles blow off I predicted in the preview for One Night Stand.

Seffens will serve as a liaison to various networks in the promoting of WWE. Moore will work on the marketing and promotion of WWE merchandise. Man, I thought the above item was boring.

Purchasing the disc at various stores comes with some additional perks. Best Buy was offering a trading card set. Wal-Mart is giving a bonus DVD of Shawn Michaels from the vault. Circuit City was promising a film cell of Roddy Piper. Blockbuster Video was promoting a free exclusive DVD, but did not say what. Probably bum fights or something. Credit: PWInsider.com

-It's not Shawn Michaels' noggin that is giving him trouble as storylines suggest, but rather his knee. He's scheduled this week to have surgery. There is hope he will be back by Survivor Series and he is being written out of current summer plans for the company. I was looking forward to that SummerSlam surf off with the Great Khali. Credit: WrestlingObserver.com

-WWE has cut Henry Godwin who was working in Deep South wrestling and had some dark matches. With the Freakin' Deacon and Ray Gordy basically playing the Godwinns they probably figured they didn't need him. OVW diva Angel Williams was also cut. Of the main roster Scotty 2 Hotty, Nick Mitchell formerly of the Spirit Squad and Kevin Thorn's paramour Ariel were also let go. Ariel I dug. Come wrestle in Ohio. The rest of you guys, I don't care so much. It's being rumored that Stephanie McMahon is behind all the recent talent cuts as awhile back John Laurenaitis as head of talent was made directly responsible to her. Credit: PWInsider.com

-According to a recent interview by Victoria for the Louisville Courier-Journal, she has sold the pizza place she owned locally and has also signed a new three year deal with WWE. I guess they figure they need one woman on the roster who can actually wrestle that they can job out to the latest Playboy bunny. Put Vickie in Playboy, I'd buy it. Actually I would just scope the pictures on the ‘net. Who buys magazines anymore? Credit: PWInsider.com

-Ivan Koloff was in a car accident over the weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina and broke six ribs. Credit: PWInsider.com

-Joanie Laurer, formerly Chyna, is pitching a reality show to Oxygen. Originally she went to Vh-1 where she had been involved in the "Surreal Life" series, but they passed.

Laurer was scheduled to appear on the Howard Stern radio show this morning. Credit: PWInsider.com

ECW THOUGHTS

-Snitsky works his way up the jobber chain to a genuine midcarder in Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer is another guy that could put Snitsky over well if given the opportunity, but it's a glorified squash. Snitsky goes to work Dreamer over with a chair and RVD saves with a Van Daminator. Rumor is that RVD is on his way out the door, so guess who is putting Snitsky over at One Night Stand?

-The slunts plug the Timbaland video and air it. Lord knows we can't waste time with wrestling on an hour program. It will probably do better than The Condemned. It's in the visual style of Sin City, which would have been more relevant two years ago.

-Kevin Thorn jobs out Wyatt Laura, or something like that. Styles and Tazz spin the absence of Ariel that he cut her loose so he can really strike out on his own. Doesn't really work since he had her prior to joining the New Breed. Thorn wins with a rope assisted stunner, christened the Original Sin.

-Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von talk strategy in the back. Burke chews out Striker for causing his loss at Judgment Day. He tells Striker to go prove himself against one of the Majors Brothers. If he doesn't win, there will be a "problem." Could you be a little more specific, like "kick your stupid ass."

-Striker takes on Brett Majors in a match that couldn't curtain jerk WCW Worldwide. Striker wins when all signs pointed to him losing to advance the storyline.

-RVD and CM Punk team up to face Cor Von and Burke. I smell a swerve. There must be something wrong with my nose, because Van Dam and Punk keep together. The heels are disqualified when Cor Von as the illegal man wouldn't get out of the ring. He hits the Pounce on Punk and RVD just because he can. Unite the tag belts, put them on Black Power and let them run for about five years.

EWR ON 411

Raven takes the ring and slumps in the corner. He's defeated everyone on Smackdown for the Hardcore title. It's pathetic. It also bores him. So if there is one person in the back with a bit of backbone left that he hasn't humiliated come out now. Randy Orton appears. Raven laughs. Orton challenging him is like one of these fat, pasty white fans out in the audience who gets sore thumbs playing Madden on their Xbox entering the NFL. Orton retorts that Raven wanted any challenger and he doesn't see anyone else out there. Raven tells Orton that he needs to win some hardcore matches first to prove he's worthy. Orton will face anyone Raven wants him to on Velocity in a hardcore match. Raven picks his old foe Rhyno.

Booker T is shown jogging through the streets of Houston. In voice over he says he thought he was a man, but he was wrong. Raven proved to him he wasn't the man he thought he was. The man he once was. He has to go back to the beginning in order to go forward. He has to remember who he was in order to know who he needs to be.

Burchill gets tired of Mysterio's showboating and planchas out onto him. Kashmere follows, but Paul moves and he nails Rey too. Kahsmere throws him into the ring. He slingshots in with a leg drop. Spinebuster sets up the C4 for the pin. Mysterio jumps Burchill post match. Punk comes out for the save and then draws out Jericho. (parts from Mathew)

Trish slaps him.

He's going to wrestle his usual great match and then give twice that to Brent Albright on RAW tomorrow night in the King of the Ring tournament. Blackhawk enjoys watching her man in the ring.
