Punk won the Money in the Bank to be the first person not to successfully cash it in...
Posted By: Guest#0703 (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 07:51 PM
I've just been backstage and heard that CM Punk will not be cashing in tonight, the plan being that he'll do so in Chicago at Judgement Day. Edge is to win and take the title to Smackdown.
Officials are down on Steamboat right now, regarding his attitude to be a cause of unrest among many other wrestlers. Expect another Y2J win here with the Dragon being moved to FCW.
Joining him at the exit door is Jeff Hardy who will begin a brief hiatus from the company. Contract rumours are a work, but many are speculating his yearning for smoking a 'big ass bowl of weed' to be the reason for his momentary departure.
Vince is to assist Orton in winning the title, alligning himself with Legacy.
These are all planned for tonight, I just heard. I can't believe people backstage are talking so openly about it. Especially after that RAW script leak. Anyway, if I hear any more, I'll let you know.

Second things second, Backlash is on, the wife and kid are out of town, and I've got a full mug of an adult beverage...so let's our PPV on! Good to have you back on the live coverage, boss.
And oh yeah, here's a drink to CM Punk cashing in again...

Oh, and I just heard Jack Swagger is no longer in the doghouse following his impressive outing against Cena on RAW. A guy just remarked "Jack Swagger is no longer in the doghouse". Didn't say anything about who'd win, though I think that says enough. Swagger to retain.
Posted By: Anonymous (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:01 PM
I agree with T-Mirk. The Judgement Day scenario with Punk cashing it in, in Chicago just seems too tempting for them to pass up.
Plus, IMO if they want Cena/Edge to come off as epic as they have built it up to be, I think the last moment of the match needs to be with the winner standing tall over the loser, with both being a bloody mess after going through a fucking war.
Not with the the winner on his back having had his moment of victory and supremacy over the other raped from him.

I'm thinking Punk takes the shot at JD in Chicago against Edge, and becomes the first man to lose the MITB shot. He will then regroup and chase up to Summerlam where he will win it and move to a fued with Jericho
Posted By: Skiddy (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:12 PM
Funnily enough, Gaspard passed by me backstage earlier. He gave me a nod and a smile, seems a genuine guy. I can also report that Ken Kennedy is backstage. I'll save the speculation for others. Kennedy.

Posted By: Hell Yeah (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:18 PM
I'll refrain from making predictions and just stick to what I hear lol. Anyway, Vince is backstage watching the action with Stephanie, Arn Anderson and some big roided out guy. I think Arn Anderson let one rip during the ECW match, they were all covering their noses laughing. Vince looked happy with the match; I'm almost positive I saw him utter "Jack Swagger is no longer in the doghouse" around 6 minutes into it. Confirming what I heard earlier backstage, Vince is clearly warming up for some kind of action later in the night, and is far more orange than usual.

Posted By: (guest) (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:41 PM
Vince was fuming near the end of the Jericho match; whether it was related to something in-ring, commentary or Anderson, I'm not aware as I'm trying to maintain an image of a passive stadium employee. Steamboat recieved some rather odd looks from the likes of Shelton, Bourne and Haas, who obviously aren't impressed with his attitude. During the match, I heard talk of moves having been made midweek by TNA for Steamboat, aware of his declining stature in the company. Didn't recognise the guy who made the remark, so he may not be the Deep Throat of wrestling, but who knows? For those interested, Anderson has evidently been eating foodstuffs of the egg variety.

To anyone who actually falls for this anonymous' alleged backstage "info" you are just a fucking MARK. For once being a SMART MARK wouldnt be an issue. Do not attempt to back paddle and say you were kidding, you werent. You have the syndrome of the down variety.
Way to feed the trolls with the RVD picture as well. There is no need for that anymore. The joke is old, tired, and needs to be put to a violent and painful rest.

Posted By: Milhouse Van Houten (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:57 PM
That was probably Punk's best performance in terms of general psychology since coming to the WWE and despite being the MitB briefcase holder, they still couldn't let him go over Kane?! Urgh.
Posted By: WilliamMorgan (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 08:57 PM
Could we be seeing an Edge FACE turn? Heel Punk vs. face Edge would be a fun twist. A face Edge/Christian reunion would be more fun than the watered down DX we saw recently.

So some guy backstage at a WWE ppv is commenting about hearing Vince say that someone's out of the dog house, the Steamboat has heat with young guys, and oh by the way, Arn Anderson FARTED.
Somewhere, in some dorm, a couple drunk guys are laughing their ass off while posting on the internet.

I can assure you the only one full of shit here backstage is Arn Anderson. But if you don't wish to believe me, there's little I can do to change your mind, so meh.
Anyway, I didn't see much action during the last match, but Charlie Haas just called Bourne a "honkey".

HUGE SPOILER ALERT:
I just overheard the booking team talking about the main event and the Mean Street Posse are going to do a run in. Just when you think that it cant get any stranger I spotted Steve Blackman playing World of Warcraft. According to Steve the only chance he gets to play is backstage at WWE events because they dont have the internet in the dojo.

Just in case that is true and the possibility is out there that Vince is commenting on this board, and let's say Triple H is typing this stuff under the name Anonymous, let me suggest, VKM, that you HIRE SOME DAMN DECENT WRITERS! And Triple H sucks, please make him enhancement talent. And I'm watching this PPV without paying, as I have since 1996.

I'll shed a little anonymity and inform you that I'm not a comedian.
Anyway, it appears Jeff's "promo" was in fact a shoot, as Vince was going absolutely crazy, shouting into his headpiece "cut it [expletive] off goddamit" several times. The outcome also appears to have been changed, Jeff seemingly taking the booking into his own hands and deciding he'd win. Speculation is rising he was smoking a "big ass bowl of weed" prior to entering the arena. As he made his way backstage, looking like a Grateful Dead fan, Charlie Haas told him "Jeff screwed Jeff". Matt just got back a minute or so ago and he was pissed off and asked if he could borrow my laptop so he could change his online mood and blog. Not quite sure how long I can stay here without people noticing my frequent postings. Regal just commented on my fake moustache. Hopefully all will be fine. This is crazy, folks!

I just passed Vince again, who was chatting with Randy Savage. They were discussing the possibility of him leading a re-formed nWo. Something about him and his fellow members Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley in a Hell in the Cell match against Sting, Dolph Ziggler, and Zombie Chris Benoit. I'm pretty sure he said originally John Cena was supposed to be in the match too, but was too busy preparing for his upcoming fued with The Rock.

I'd just like to point out, as the original and true Anonymous, the above comments following Charlie Haas' outburst are not attributed to myself. I'm also posting this via my iPhone.
Vince has now left his position at the screens, so he's definately getting involved somehow. He looks in fine form. Shane, arriving on the scene for the first time since I've been here, looked pretty apprehensive. Batista didn't speak to anyone and seems to be in a mood.
Posted By: Anonymous (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 09:54 PM
OMG! Kurt Angle just walked in! Everyone backstage is floored. Vince just announced that he bought TNA this morning!
They're talking about the match swerve so everyone knows to not get in the way. Kurt is going to run out and nail HHH and cost him the match. Then, after they give Randy the belt, Joe and AJ are going to jump Randy and all three will run out through the crowd.
The final match of the night will get hit by Kurt, AJ, Joe, Morgan and the MSMG. They'll announce that as of now TNA is invading WWE. That's supposed to close us out and kick off the online "news" setup for tomorrow night's Raw.

Its become apparent that Josh Matthews, Todd Grisham and Matt Striker were all openly weeping after being left off the commentary team for the PPV. It is believed they organised a threesome for later tonight to help them get over their sadness.
Josh was so excited his nose bled for a full 30 minutes. More as this story develops.

Posted By: Anonymous (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 10:10 PM
For all of you wondering about Punk's push, look at it this way..
First off, the internet had all picked Punk, so Vince threw us a curve. Plus its Kane's bday like 2 days ago, so a ppv win is a nice little present.
As for Punk, this could play out to JD. He can get frustrated about this loss, yet still psyche himself up to challenge for the title in Chicago. Yet, when the time comes, he can't shake the loss (Kane will continue to torment him on SD), and will lose his shot. Trying to come to terms with losing the MITB shot, he must defeat Kane in a Gimmick match at Extreme Rules in order and work his way back up the ladder to his eventual destiny and title win at Summerslam.

I'll try and find out what happened there. As I've been reporting, Vince looked to be preparing himself for action, and was absent for the duration of the match. I'm pretty disappointed myself. Anyway, Orton was congratulated once he got behind the curtain. Still no Vince, though Shane looks like he's ran a marathon.
Seeing Charlie Haas and Shelton goofing around makes me hope they get back together.
As I said, Edge to win the main event, with no CM Punk involvement, who, as it turns out, is now out of his gear and is listening to his iPod. Steamboat is sitting on his own, nursing his wounds; I'll attempt to delve further into why he's currently in the doghouse. That's all for now.

Thank god Orton won, and they made it look clean with him beating Triple H way to put legacy over. I was hoping for a Batista turn but I will take a clean beat down over that. Finally Orton gets his belt back.
Posted By: Guest#3375 (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 10:19 PM
man a slow match coupled with the fact that hhh just WON'T lose CLEAN. He has to go through all of that just to cough up the title......the crowd gave orton a RESOUNDING pop when he won too. Now why couldn't they just let orton win at wm 25?

As I said Vince seems very unhappy and now has rushed into the production truck and slammed the door. After I'm done fingerbanging Mickie James I will ask Khali why Runjan Singh was watching along gleefully while he was anally raping Santina. I would post more but I only have two hands. I wish I had four hands so I can give this Pay Per View Four thumbs down.

Dude, my intellect doesn't come into this; this is a wrestling site, one I frequently visit, and I happen to be in the position of being backstage with my internet-capable phone. Aside from the Vince involvement disinformation I overheard, I told you what would happen.
Anyway, Vinnie Mac is back and was speaking to Shane and seemed pretty happy. For those wondering, Anderson has pretty much shut up since being castigated by Steph. I don't want to start more rumours but I'd not rule out Vince's alligning with Legacy occurring in the future, as the guy who I heard earlier has been correct thus far.
During the last match, MVP (who has seemed moody since he turned up backstage during the Hardy's match) got into some verbal altercation with a roadie. He looks incensed, don't know why. Kofi Kingston calmed him down, he seems as great a guy as his character suggests.
Rey, Bourne, Haas and Shelton were all pumping up Edge a few minutes ago.
Posted By: Anonymous (Guest) on April 26, 2009 at 10:33 PM
I didn't order this PPV, but I don't understand the shitty PPV comments. It sounds like so far most if not all matches were good. And so far, everyone who should have won has won with the exception of Kane beating Punk.
I mean, look at it.
Swagger vs Christian: Christian needed the belt more I think, although that could have gone either way.
Matt vs Jeff: Jeff definitely needed the win here after Matt won at WM.
Jericho vs. Steamboat: I love Steamboat, but come on! He's what, 50? The Superstar of the Year needed to win and move on to a world title shot.
And Randy F'N Orton is your WWE champ due to pretty solid booking, I might add. HHH can blame Batista for almost getting him disqualified, leaving him open for the RKO/Punk, Randy can claim clean win, and you set up a three-way.
Personally, I am a Cena mark, but I'm like everyone else, I'd love to see him win a grueling match and then have Punk turn and cash in. It would make sense for Punk losing tonight.
But the question would then remain, who's your top faces on Smackdown? You'd have top heels in Punk, Jericho and Edge, but what about the faces?
Right now it's Taker and.....

Is tonight's bullshit from "Anonymous" a one-shot deal, or is it even more annoying than the "one-shot deal" references you dipshits continue to run into the ground?
With the $39.95 you people saved by reading the 411 recaps instead of purchasing the PPV, go see if you can buy enough alcohol and weed to make the posts on the message board seem funny. I bet it'll take more than $39.95.

BACKLASH PPV = EPIC FAIL!

First, the crowd for this show was fucking terrible. Dead silence for long periods, particularly during the Hardyz match. I hope RI gets put on WWE's blacklist for their lack of enthusiasm at a PPV. The "goodbye" song during HHH's stretcher job was hilarious, though.
Anyone else notice Jeff Hardy completely forgetting to sell the leg that Matt had been working on for like five minutes?
I'm glad I only chipped in $10 for this. Backlash only made up for WM 25 in that the right people are champions now. The show itself was baaaaaad.
