Daveportivo's Cultural Evaluation Facility

Believe it or not I'm actually going to watch the video wire before watching the show! That's right I'm going to be fully up to date. Although I prefer the PPV Previews they used to do rather than these ammatuer hour looking video wire. So with that in mind here's my recap of the recap!

-We start the video wire with Sweet and Sour Inc. including Johnny Fairplay blaming Albright for a loss and telling him to prove himself by taking a shot at Bobby Dempsey. Everybody else does but Albright turns on Sweet and Sour Inc. Absolutely killing all off them including powerbombing Hagadorn out of the ring through a table and giving Sara Del Ray a half nelson suplex. Sweeney and Fairplay made the narrow escape.

-We then go to The Age Of The Fall holding down Aries but Jimmy choses not to kill him for what he did to Lacey but he promises to make his life hell from now on.

-We then see a bloody Jay Briscoe with his brother Mark saying to Mark he can't do it without him and saying he gives up the world tag team titles until Mark is back in action.

-We then get a nervous Delirious asking Daizee Haze out to dinner, maybe Nobu? When Rhett Tittus comes out? I've never seen this guy before, he's dancing like a goofy ball. He appears to have charisma but looks very goofy. He says there infront of Ring Honor's biggest crowd ever. He says all Daizee is focusing on is Titus. His thrusts is a must, his shoulders are the size of boulders and he has a great back and a six pack. Daizee says she wants to leave. Delirious in his shirt and tie drops his flower and walks off solemnly as the crowd chant "You Got Cock Blocked". Delirious and Daizee were good but Titus was terrible.

-We then go to a special sit down interview with Dave Prazak and Austin Aries. Prazak asks Aries about Lacey and Jacobs. He said he didn't steal Lacey because she isn't a possesion, Lacey chose to be with him because Jimmy treated her like a possesion. Austin Aries then says Lacey wasn't convince by The Age Of The Fall, he says Jimmy isn't a leader he just talks about problems and never offers solutions. Dave asks if Jacobs has got into his head, Aries says there are mind games going both ways, Aries is the hunter not Jacobs. Dave then asks about Jay Briscoe leaving Aries alone with Age Of The Fall. He says Jay called him in the morning drunk, said he'd lost alot of blood and forgot he wasn't teaming with Mark and just went to the back to see Mark. Dave then asks about the vacated belts. He says him and Danielson will wind the tournement. When he asks Lacey about where she is, Aries says it doesn't matter he doesn't want anyone to talk about it. Jacobs comes from behind Prazak as he closes out the segment and as Austin's time is coming. Hit and miss segment but mostly hit.

-They then decide to show the controversal footage that cause Aries to storm out of the sit down interview. It's a clip from Ageofthefall.com and its lo res. They see Lacey coming out of a shop or gym. Jimmy walks out of the car and confronts Lacey, its shot from a handheld in the car. It cuts and then says to be continued. Apparently its Lacey's last moment in proffesional wrestling.

Post Match Joe cuts a promo which is awesome.

.

Synopsis: Matt Hardy and the Miz started the match and seemed to have forgotten they were wrestling on a Pay Per View and instead must have thought they were at house show as they exchanged chinlocks and basic moves. Chavo Guerrero added a little spice to the action as they exchanged move interesting offence. Business really picked up when your most improved superstar of 2008 Mark Henry entered the ring and destroyed everyone with press slams, farewells and world's strongest slams and picking up a pin along the way. Henry smartly used bearghugs to neutralize the action. Finlay came in and we had a pretty exciting conclusion to the match with a variety of finishers and Matt getting a pin with about two and half minutes to go with a twist of fate on Miz that cut him wide open. The last few minutes were chaos (which played nicely into the gimmick) and Matt Hardy won when Henry couldn't get a three count after serveral attempts.

Synopsis: The psychology was the most basic tag team formulae, JTG took an extended unisinpired beatdown for the first eight minutes before Shad got the tag, both teams teased victory before Ted Dibiase tunred a small package over to retian the titles. Post match Afa Jnr. debuted to beat down Cryme Tyme and form a legacy grouping.

.

Synopsis: Shawn's arm was heavily protected and there were definitely some scary moments in this brutal all out brawl. Micheals beat the tar out of Jericho and they played up to all the subtlies of the storyline through out. Shawn used a fire extinguisher to blind Jericho, Shawn also refused to finish Jericho with a superkick early. Lance Cade played his roll well to give Jericho the advantage as the heels worked over the arm. Shawn took the big bump with a flying elbow from the top rope through the announce table on Cade and Jericho. The finish was very well done with Micheals convaying hatred and regret and he went after Jericho's eye pounding him into unconsciousness which Jericho sold for three minutes without moving while HBK made his way to the back.

Synopsis: The match started terribly as it was clear that they were toning it down as to not show up Triple H. Jeff was on awful form in this match, needing a rest hold after two minutes of slow action to regain his breath. Hardy went on to miss a whisper in the wind, a front flip plancha, a mule kick and he completely blew the counter of The Kendrick (Sliced Bread). That said the match picked up when MVP and The Brian Kendrick entered the match. Kendrick was without doubt the break out star, his selling was top notch and his offense while reigned in (you don't want heels to get cheered do we) was unique and impactful. I have to admit marking out when Kendrick pinned Hardy and the screen read Brian Kendrick current WWE Champion. Kendrick would of course go onto to be pinned three times in a row but no doubt he made his name and got his gimmick over. When the gargantuan Triple H entered the ring, he had all the athletic guys pinging around the ring for him. Despite this the action was good an dramatic the finish saw Triple H get a pedigree and a last minute pin with Jeff Hardy watching him do it!

Synopsis: The crowd just plain shat all over this match. Which is a shame because the two Divas put on a perfectly acceptable time filling Diva's match with some good athelticism and intensity. Michelle won with the front suplex.

Randy Orton gave Afa, Cody and Ted a team talk about how they have proven nothing too him tonight. Later Orton confronted Punk and they had a war of words. Cody, Afa and Rhodes assualted Punk and Randy knocked him out with the punt of doom. Orton was simply brilliant tonight.

Undertaker came out to kill Vickie Guerrero who had just confronted Big Show. In an incredibly long and boring beatdown, Big Show turned heel knocked out Undertaker and allowed Vickie to slap and spit on him.

.

JBL and Batist started this match with some incredibly clunky and incredibly funny action to kick off the contest. JBL was then basically taken out and spent the most of the match on his arse (hiliariously). Kane came in and we had to endure another terrible five minutes of Kane vs. Batista with Kane picking up a pin before Batista got one of his own. Rey came in and added energy but did nothing to add polish to the match up. The only really interesting drama came when Rey turned on Batista in the context of the match. With CM Punk unable to complete the main drama was generated from the mystery of who would replace Punk. Jericho's music hit and Jericho hobbled to the ring, it took about two minutes for him to reach the ring. Batista speared everybody and picked up a pin. Jericho however played up to the gimmick cleverly by hiding for the entire match and sneaking in with a last minute pin.
