411's WWE Superstars Report 12.10.09

Posted by Ryan Byers on 12.11.2009

Jack Swagger and Montel Porter renew their rivalry in the main event, while the Hart Dynasty squashes a mismatched tag team and Dolph Ziggler fights Finlay!



Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to YOUR WWE Superstars report for December 10, 2009. I am Ryan Byers, regularly of 2 Raw, 2 Furious and Into the Indies. Your regular host Rob McNew has been taken offline due to an interruption in his cable service, though he will hopefully return next week.

Can you believe that this is the first time that I have ever bothered to watch Superstars?

Match Numero Uno: Dolph Ziggler vs. Fit Finlay

The wrestlers lock up to start, and they take turns shoving each other into the corners. Referee Scott Armstrong breaks them up, and Ziggler tries to get in a cheap shot. Finlay double legs him, however, and Dolph runs for the ropes when the Irishman tries for some punches in the mount. The two return to a neutral position at center-ring, where Ziggler asks for a Greco-Roman knuckle lock. Finlay obliges but gets kicked in the gut, and, before long, the former Spirt Squad member is working a headlock, followed by a chinlock. The Belfast Bruiser reverses that into an armdrag and then an armbar, which Ziggler uses the ropes to break. Dolph then tries to shoot in for a double leg of his own, but Finlay blocks it and unleashes a European uppercut and a short-arm clothesline. More strikes get a two count for Finlay, and he tries to send Ziggler into the turnbuckles. Dolph blocks and succeeds in shooting his man's head into the buckles, causing Finlay to roll outside. Ziggler goes for a baseball slide, but Finlay catches him up in the ring apron and pounds away. Dolph then attempts to drop an elbow on Fit as he reenters the ring, but Finlay cuts his reentry short and causes "Perfection" to crash and burn on the canvas. It is Ziggler who has the last laugh, though, as he grabs Finlay while the Irishman stands on the ring apron and drives him shoulder-first into the ringpost.

Back in between the ropes, Ziggler continues to target Finlay's arm and shoulder with an armbar as well as a dropkick to the limb. Chavo's caddie again tries to whip Mr. Ziggles into the corner, but Finlay stop shorts and charges at his opponent. The two knock heads and fall to the mat, which is a setup for our first commercial break. When we return from the ads, Ziggler is once again controlling with an armbar and then some kicks to the limb. A snap mare and the old Mr. Perfect flying neck snap get a two count for Mr. Nemeth, after which he goes back to the arm one more time. Dolph then heads to the second rope, but his attempt at a double axe handle is thwarted by Finlay's boot. Fit makes his comeback with a back body drop and some clotheslines, after which he gets a nearfall off of the John Tenta memorial sitdown splash. It looks like Ziggler is going to rally, but he winds up missing a missile dropkick. Fit attempts to charge his man in the corner but Ziggler dodges, sending Finlay into the buckles chest-first. As he rebounds off of the padding, the Zig Zag connects. That's enough to get him a three count.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler via Zig Zag (**3/4)

Josh Matthews is backstage with Montel Vontavious Porter. Tonight he will be wrestling Jack Swagger. Porter notes that the two men have wrestled each other before and that they do not like one another. He needs aggression, endurance, and an umbrella every time he fights the Oklahoma native, he says. Yes, that's a setup to make fun of the lisp.

Match Numero Dos: The Hart Dynasty (Harry Smith & Tyson Kidd) w/ Nattie Neidhart vs. Jimmy Yang & "Slam Masta J" Jesse Dalton

Jesse and Kidd start the match with standing switches. J gets a front facelock and makes a quick tag to Yang, who goes for an armbar. Dalton is back in almost immediately, and he plants a boot into his opponent's back. He also reverses Kidd's attempt at an armbar, setting up a standing moonsault from Yang. He unloads with some boots as well, which send Kidd rolling out of the ring. Smith distracts the referee, however, allowing Nattie to trip up Yang on the apron and bodyslam him on the floor. Smith tags in at this point, running Jimmy's back into the apron before rolling him under the bottom rope and slapping on a chinlock. The former Jung Dragon starts a stereotypical babyface comeback, but Harry Boy cuts him off early and hits two rolling belly-to-belly suplexes for a two count. He then slams Yang out of a fireman's carry position setting up a Hart Dynasty attempt at the Rocket Launcher. Unfortunately for Tyson, he lands on Yang's knees, and that sets up the hot tag to SMJ. Terry Gordy's kid makes a comeback on Kidd, hitting a headscissors takedown and a variation on the Angle Slam. Harry tries to run interference, but Jimmy dropkicks him out of the ring and lands a pescado. That leaves Tyson and Jesse alone together in the ring, though, and the Calgary Flame gives his man a kick to the ribs and a wacky suplex variation for the three count.

Winners: The Hart Dynasty via Nameless-Plex by Kidd on Dalton (**1/4)

A Randy Orton highlight reel plays, which is amusing because one of the clips of audio used is Jerry Lawler referring to Orton as a "snake-like viper." Is there a viper that ISN'T snake like? Some kind of viper with limbs, perhaps? Anyway, the Orton hype video is followed by the Raw Rebound, which initially focuses on Mark Cuban refereeing Randy's match against Kofi Kingston and ultimately screwing the Legend Killer over. The Raw-closing angle between Cuban, Sheamus, John Cena is also recapped.

The card for this Sunday's TLC pay per view is run down by Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Match Numero Tres: Jack Swagger vs. Montel Vontavious Porter

Swagger gets on the mic before the bell, telling the audience that he is a role model and not somebody like MVP who goes out to clubs and "pops bottles." The All American American says that he does not need catch phrases to stand out and then attempts to defend his speech patterns, claiming that he does not have a lisp. He has difficulty saying his own name to play up the impediment, closing with "I'm Jack Swagger, and I approved this message." Yeah, he doesn't need catch phrases.

As the promo closes, we go to commercial.

The wrestlers lock up to start, and Swagger grabs a headlock to set up a takedown. Porter reverses into a headscissors, but Jack pops out quickly and reapplies his headlock. The former Antonio Banks fights to a vertical base and shoves Swagger off of him, only to be hit with a shoulderblock. Porter responds with a pair of hiptosses, but Swagger dodges the third and rolls out to the floor for a breather. Upon reentry, Swagger gets his opponent into a top wristlock, but Porter powers out of it and hits a couple of armdrags and a lariat. He looks for the balling elbow after that, but Swagger takes his second powder of the match. MVP meets him with a pescado, and we go to a commercial. When we return, the first thing we see is Porter hitting a suplex before going to an arbmar. Eventually the All American slips out and maneuvers Porter into the corner, hitting some body shots there en route to landing the Oklahoma Stampede. Doc would be proud. The former ECW Champion then applies a grounded double chickenwing, which he voluntarily relinquishes to switch to a hammerlock. Swagger tries to roll that into a pinning combination, but Porter is out at one.

Swagger decides that this would be a good time to run the ropes, but he's wrong, as MVP catches him in a belly-to-belly suplex and hits a back body drop, a short clothesline, and a back elbow in quick succession. Porter's next trick is the knee-based facebuster that he borrowed from Triple H, and this time the balling elbow connects. Porter looks for the Playmaker, but Swagger grabs the middle rope to block it. MVP gets a two count off of a cradle and a jackknife, but Swagger goes back on the offensive and hits his Vader Bomb for a nearfall. Swagger tries to follow with a Rude Awakening, but MVP holds onto the top rope and Swagger winds up taking a bump. MVP then gives his man a BRUTAL Yakuza kick out of nowhere, but is only good for two. Porter tries to follow it with a Stinger Splash variation, but Swagger elevates him for Snake Eyes. That is the prelude to the gut wrench powerbomb, and Jack Swagger is your victor.

Winner: Jack Swagger via gut wrench powerbomb (**)

That does it for this week. Robby Mac will see you in seven!
