Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Good to hear Lesnar won't be stuck in squashes for much longer.
Also, about my review. I understand how much a girlfriend can distract you from anything that doesn't involve them. But I still expect that review sometime, otherwise there could be consequences...

Heyman Deciple’s Enslaved Review
Rhino Vs. Christian Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Chris Jericho: This was a damn good match and a great way to start the show. It was a good win for Chris Benoit but I found myself rooting for Christian Cage but still it was a great match and Chris Jericho’s reaction after the match was awesome.
Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis Interview: Solid Interview here with Guerrera and Psicosis as they explained why they turned on LAX. By the way I’m really looking forward to Homicide & Hernandez eventually kicking the crap out of both of them.
CM Punk, Colt Cabana, & Austin Aries Vs. Muhammad Hassan, Daivari, & Bryan Danielson: I find it kind of ironic that the American Dragon is teaming up with Hassan and Daivari but any way this match was very good with Hassan, Daivari, and Danielson picking up the win. The heel beat down after the match was really great. Hassan came off really bad ass which I didn’t think was possible and I liked how Danielson just walked out on his own because he’s his own man and he does his own thing and ultimately Hassan & Daivari are chased off by two mystery men. Should be interesting, eventually finding out who they are. I would guess Shelley & Sabin or Roderick Strong & Jack Evans or Erick Stevens & someone else but I think Joey Styles and Nash would know who they are so who knows. Should be fun though, whoever they are.
Samoa Joe Interview: First off Maria is pure gold and second Joe’s promo was absolutely amazing. Very well done.
Brock Lesnar Vs. Shannon Moore: Brock destroyed Shannon Moore which is fine with me too bad he couldn’t do the same against Frank Mirr but any way. Good solid squash.
Jamie Noble: This was a good segment as Noble walks around surveys his competition and we find out he makes his debut next week.
LAX Promo: Good promo here from Konnan, as he laid down the law to Juvi & Psicosis, Haas & Benjamin, The Dudleys or any other team that wants to try and take a shot at LAX.
Edge Vs. RVD: Let me start by saying “Keep it in your pants, Styles” maybe the greatest line ever and RVD was a great surprise. This was a good main event with RVD picking up the win, which makes me happy and sets up the World title Extreme Rules match for next week, which should be great.
This was a very good show, I give it a 9 out of 10.
And if you want to give my BTB a review, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Just a bit of an update guys. The next episode is ready to go, sooner than expected. The preview, which isn't ready to go, should be up in a few days because I need to write it first and can't be bothered now. I'm actually really motivated to write my shows at the moment because I have a lot of good plans coming up that I'm finally getting to use so I'm excited about that and I'm really keen to get my shows ticking through, so lately a lot of my spare time has been spent writing shows. Unfortunately that means that the amount of feedback I have been giving out has suffered. I have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off work and provided my girlfriend stays away, I'll be looking at dishing out a lot of reviews on those days. As of writing this I want to review (probably in this order) Legend's SmackDown, KOP's RAW, KOM's RAW/SD, 619's RAW, Heyman Deciple's latest show plus a review of DH6's No Way Out which will probably occupy me for a while in itself. So don't stress the guys, the feedback is on it's way.
Thank you for all your reviews, anymore would be welcome and appreciated.

PREVIEW
This Wednesday night another HUGE episode of Evolution Pro Wrestling’s Enslaved will emanate from New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
In our Main Event last week we saw the shocking EPW debut of the one and only, Rob Van Dam! Van Dam made his way out to a raucous reception from the Hammerstein faithful as the advertised Mystery Opponent to take on the EPW World Champion, The Rated R Superstar – Edge! After an epic encounter that saw several swings in momentum, RVD managed to pick up the win courtesy of the renowned 5 Star Frog Splash and a bit of help from an exposed turnbuckle. This week Mister Pay Per View gets his reward, a World Championship opportunity against Edge in EXTREME RULES! Can RVD complete a dream debut in EPW or will the Champion prevail?
A Number One Contenders match opened the show last week – A Fatal Fourway match contested between Rhino, Chris Jericho, Christian Cage and the eventual victor Chris Benoit. After a thrilling match it was Benoit that managed to drape an arm out over a fallen Rhino to pick up the victory and earn another shot at the World Championship at the Redemption Pay Per View. The major talking point was that after the match Benoit was seen to be favouring his shoulder and it has since been revealed that the Rabid Wolverine was severely injured during the match. This week Paul Heyman will address the Chris Benoit situation and what will come of the Number One Contendership.
After being decimated at the hands of Muhammad Hassan and Daivari last week, don’t expect to see the Pacific Champion, CM Punk this week. He’s been given the week off to let his injuries heal, while Hassan himself has been BANNED from the arena and any result to show up will see his match for the Pacific Championship at Redemption CANCELLED! We will however, hear from Hassan in an interview via satellite.
Another victim of Muhammad Hassan and Daivari last week was none other than Austin Aries. Aries was beaten to a bloody pulp which was meant to be a message to CM Punk but luckily for Aries, before any further insult could be added to his injury, two unknown men made their way through the crowd and made the save for Aries with one of them nailed a Backbreaker to Daivari and the other hitting a Springboard Dropkick on Hassan, sending him flying down to the floor. Will we find out the identities of these two men this week or will the mystery continue?
This week also finally brings about the LONG-AWAITED debut of Jamie Noble. Noble has been talking himself up for a few weeks now and it’s finally time to back it up his words. Unfortunately for Noble his recent words and his actions at Out of Exile have caught the eye of Rhino, who has since sent out a message that he wants to be Noble’s first opponent in EPW and teach him a lesson in respect. Paul Heyman gleefully accepted the offer and the match is on!
Brock Lesnar’s path of destruction has lived on in the weeks following Out of Exile, will it continue this week or will someone finally be able to step up and put The Next Big Thing down?
With our Tag Team Champions crowned at Out of Exile, the need for new Number One Contenders at Redemption is arising. This week the quest to crown new challengers begins as we see The Worlds Greatest Tag Team of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin take on the duo of Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis! Which of these two teams will be able to put up their hands and make claim to being the Number One Contenders at Redemption?
For all this and more, be sure to tune into Evolution Pro Wrestling’s Enslaved! This Wednesday night at 10pm on the CW Network!
Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas v Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis
Jamie Noble’s In-ring EPW Debut
Jamie Noble v Rhino

Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
New banner kicks ass, huh?
***The NEW theme Enslaved theme song, appropriately titled ENSLAVED by the Motley Crue hits and the usual video package appears on screen with superstars such as Chris Benoit, with his Crippler Crossface submission hold locked in, Edge performing the Spear, Christian hitting the Unprettier, Brock Lesnar hitting the F-5, Rhyno hitting the Gore, Chris Jericho with the Walls of Jericho applied, CM Punk with the Anaconda Vice locked in, before a flurry of other superstars spray across the screen, ending with a shot of Edge holding the World Title aloft. As the opening package draws to a close, the camera shoots immediately to the Hammerstein Ballroom as it does a pan of the ravenous ballroom crowd, before pyro starts to spray out all over the arena***
Styles: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! This is EPW’s Enslaved, I am Joey Styles and joining me at ringside is Kevin Nash!
Nash: Big Sexy in ‘da house and what a huge…
Nash is cut off mid-sentence when **SINNER** hits to a massive pop and the boss, Paul Heyman makes his way down to the ring with his trademark baseball cap and trench-coat on as a huge “Paulie” chant breaks out immediately amidst the Hammerstein faithful while Heyman climbs into the ring and immediately grabs a microphone.
Heyman: Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to another edition of EPW’s Enslaved! My name is Paul Heyman and I am here tonight to make a few MAJOR announcements.
Slight pop as Heyman continues.
Heyman: I’ll try not take up to much of the show’s time, I will be as fast as possible but both of these announcements must be made!
Heyman pauses.
Heyman: So without further ado it is with great pride and dignity that at this time I officially announce that at the Redemption Pay Per View, a FOURTH Championship will be coming to Evolution Pro Wrestling!
Decent pop.
Heyman: That’s right, here in EPW we will be doing something that NO OTHER mainstream Professional Wrestling company in the world does with any decorum… and that is showcase talent that weigh in at less than 220 pounds and isn’t named Rey Mysterio Junior! At Redemption we will be introducing a CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP that will showcase, elevate and give these Wrestlers the prestige that they deserve!
Big pop.
Heyman: On Sunday, June 24th to crown the first ever Cruiserweight Championship we will have ourselves a 10 MAN CRUISERWEIGHT GAUNTLET MATCH!
Another pop.
Heyman: Now this won’t be just like any other Gauntlet match… until there are only FIVE possible competitors left in the match, it will be contested under over the top rope Battle Royal rules but when there are only FIVE competitors left, regulation Pinfall or Submission rules will apply.
Slight pop.
Heyman: As far as actual competitors go for this match, at this time I will only be announcing FOUR of the men that will get the chance be the first ever holder of this Championship, these four men will each be involved in a “Cruiserweight Showcase” match that will start next week right here on Enslaved in which a new competitor in the match will be revealed in each showcase match. The first for men involved in the match will be… “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson!
Solid heat.
Heyman: DAIVARI!
HUGE heat.
Heyman: The man that will make his in-ring debut in EPW later tonight, JAMIE NOBLE!
More heat.
Heyman: And finally… AUSTIN ARIES!
Massive pop for Aries.
Heyman: After these four matches are completed over the next four weeks, we will then know 8 of the competitors and the final two will be revealed at the Pay Per View as SURPRISE ENTRANTS!
Another Pop.
Heyman: (growing much more serious) Now on to the other serious issue that I am here tonight to address. As you will all be aware, last week Chris Benoit won a Number One Contenders Fatal Fourway match to earn the right to face the whoever the EPW World Champion may be at the time at the Redemption Pay Per View.
Slight pop as Heyman pauses.
Heyman: However, what some of you will not be aware is that… Mister Benoit was severely injured during the match. He badly ruptured ligaments in his right shoulder and neck so much so that I have the unfortunate duty to announce that Chris Benoit has been forced to relinquish the Number One Contenders title…
Slight boos as Heyman continues.
Heyman: (Sadly) As well as to officially announce the retirement of Chris Benoit from Evolution Pro Wrestling effective immediately.
The Hammerstein faithful are shocked as a Benoit chant breaks out.
Heyman: Without dwelling on the obvious negatives of the situation and taking anything away from the brilliant career of Chris Benoit, this means that the Number One Contenders title to the EPW World Championship is STILL wide open!
Slight pop.
Heyman: With that being said, I will NOT be naming a NEW Contender until the culmin…
Heyman is then cut off as **BREAK THE WALLS DOWN** hits to a huge mixed reaction and Chris Jericho makes his way down the aisle and into the ring with a microphone in hand.
Jericho: Now Paulie, as unfortunate as it is about Benoit, I swear you were about to announce that you will not be naming a new Number One Contender until the match between Edge and Rob Van Dam is through tonight?
Heyman nods.
Jericho: Well Paul, I thought I’d come out here to save you from wasting any more time so you can simply name the Sexy Beast, Chris Jericho as the rightful challenger to the World Title at Redemption! There’s no point denying just how good that Championship belt would look around this gorgeous waist.
Jericho gestures around his waist.
Heyman: And why exactly should I name YOU as the Number One Contender, Chris Jericho? Why would YOU be a better choice than people like Christian Cage? (pop) Rhino? (Another pop) Brock Lesnar? (Heat) CM Punk? (Big pop) The list is endless, Chris…
Jericho: WHY?! You wanna know why, Paul Heyman?! I’ll tell you why! Because I’m Y2Freakin’J baby! I’m the King of the World! The Man of 1004 Holds! The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla! You're right Paul, The list IS endless! It’s clear that the only answer to your problem is Chris Jericho… I had that damn match won last week! Chris Benoit…
Jericho is then cut off as **CRUSH U UP** hits to a surprise pop at first and then heat sprays through the ballroom as Samoa Joe makes his way out dressed in Street Clothes with a microphone in hand as well.
Samoa Joe: (Staring at Jericho) You’re also the same guy I destroyed at Out of Exile, Jericho!
Jericho: Would you please shut the hell up?! You don’t belong out here, Joe. Sure you beat me at Out of Exile but what else have you done in your career, nothing?! What have I don…
Heyman: (Cutting off Jericho) I think you both need to shut the hell up!
Crowd pops.
Heyman: The fact of the matter is this, I will NOT be naming a New Number One Contender tonight, quite simply because you… Chris Jericho haven’t done anything worthy of being rewarded with a title opportunity.
Jericho looks pissed.
Heyman: While you, Samoa Joe… I’ve told you, you want your opportunity, you have to earn it… you have to impress me, shock me, surprise me. You need to make me watch your matches and think “WOW!”
Samoa Joe: You wanna be shocked Heyman?
Heyman nods.
Samoa Joe: Well if that’s the case…
Joe then drops the microphone and nails an ENZUIGIRI OUT OF NO WHERE TO CHRIS JERICHO AMIDST A HUGE POP!!! Heyman actually looks a little bit taken back as Joe gets straight back up and picks up the microphone again.
Samoa Joe: (Staring into Heyman’s eyes intensely) There’s your shock.
Heyman: I must admit, Joe. (Looks down at the fallen Jericho) That was certainly unexpected. I was actually just about to announce that next week we would see a rematch from Out of Exile between you and Mister Jericho here.
Heyman points down at Jericho before continuing.
Heyman: But now since he is seemingly nursing a sore head, I might change that match. I am still giving you a chance to impress me though, as instead of facing Chris Jericho next week, you will be facing a man whom he has cross paths with regularly in recent weeks… CHRISTIAN CAGE! And the result of that match will go along way to determining who will be the New Number One contender!
Heyman nods at Joe and exits the ring swiftly as **SINNER** hits and he backs up the aisle mouthing to Joe to “Impress him”. We then head to a commercial.
**COMMERCIAL**
We return from commercial to see Joey Styles and Kevin Nash on commentary.
Styles: Welcome back to Enslaved and before the break Paul Heyman had a couple of HUGE announcements, Nash!
Nash: Indeed Styles, Joe – Christian next week, a Cruiserweight Title in EPW and a career has ended.
Styles: That’s right, in case you missed it, Paul Heyman just announced the immediate retirement of one of the greatest Professional Wrestlers in our sports history – Chris Benoit!
With that said, **WORLDS GREATEST** then blasts over the PA System and The Worlds Greatest Tag Team consisting of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas make their way out to the ring amidst a surprisingly large pop. The duo continue down to the ring and play up the crowd even more.
Styles: What a reaction for The Worlds Greatest Tag Team tonight, Nash?
**MUY LOCO** then hits to very little reaction until it becomes clear just who the music brings about as Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis make their way out before the heat from the crowd suddenly erupts. Juvi and Psi’ taunt the crowd a little before they make their way swiftly down the aisle and into the ring.
Styles: I’m surprised these two have the guts to even show up tonight, Nash.
Nash: Maybe so Styles, but..
Kevin Nash is then cut off when **DAWGZ** hits to a massive mixed reception albeit mainly filled with heat and that Latin American eXchange comprised of Konnan and the EPW Tag Team Champions, Homicide and Hernandez make their way arrogantly down to the ring, showing absolutely no intimidation of well… anyone. Both Juvi & Psicosis and The Worlds Greatest Tag Team clearly question why the Champions are out here but they are simply ignored.
Styles: What the hell are they doing out here?
The LAX continue around the outside of the ring where Konnan then puts on a headset and takes up residence at the announce table.
Konnan: ORALE GRINGOS!
Styles: Uh… welcome, Konnan. Out here to scout some potential opponents?
Konnan: Holmes, we’re out ‘ere to remind the rest of EPW just how dominant ‘da Latin American eXchange is!
Styles: Right.
Match 1
Tag Team Match
Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis v Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas
In what has been nothing short of an awesome match between four very talented workers to kick off the show, neither team has been able to develop a clear cut advantage as they’ve both been making regular tags.
The ring is currently situated by Shelton Benjamin, who has been in the ring much longer than the other legal man, Psicosis. Psi’ has been centring most of his offence on the right leg of Shelton, who is sat up in a vacant corner. The Mexican stomps away at Shelton’s knee before he whips him off the ropes and as he shoots back he delivers a Diving Spinning Heel Kick to Shelton Benjamin, which he follows with a cover. 1… 2… NO! Shelton kicks out. The crowd lifts for Shelton as Psicosis immediately gets back to his feet and goes back to stomping away at Shelton’s leg. After a few moments of constant stomping, Psicosis then brings Shelton back to his vertical base and after two hard rights and a backhand chop he then goes to whip Benjamin off the ropes but Shelton attempts to reverse it, Psicosis though manages to halt his momentum but he immediately turns into attempted kick to the mid-section from Shelton but Psi’ catches his leg and throws it away but SHELTON MANAGES TO SPIN ALL THE WAY ROUND AND NAIL THE DRAGON WHIP!
The crowd pops loudly as Psicosis is down and out Shelton is crawling towards his partner, Charlie Haas. With a large “SHELTON” chant getting sung out through the ballroom Benjamin finally gets the tag to Charlie Haas amidst a massive pop! Haas charges the ring and Psicosis immediately walks into a running clothesline! He bounces back to his feet and this time he is met simultaneously by a perfect standing dropkick! Again, Psicosis bounces up and this time he manages to duck a wayward clothesline from Haas and he responds in kind, looking for a clothesline himself but Haas ducks that too and immediately comes up behind his opponent and nails a GERMAN SUPLEX! Haas covers. 1… 2… NO! JUVI BREAKS UP THE COUNT!
The crowd shits on Juvi’s actions as The Juice simply eats up the negative reaction when suddenly Homicide and Hernandez start to circle the ring in opposite directions. Haas, ignoring the Champions, lifts Psicosis back to his feet and whips him straight off the ropes before he nails a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Again Haas covers. 1… 2… NO! Juvi breaks it up again with baseball slide! Once more the Hammerstein Faithful shit on this whilst Homicide and Hernandez continue to circle the ring. Haas gets back to his feet while Psicosis sits up as well but Charlie acts quickly as he nails a SWIFT KICK TO THE BACK! The crack is deafening as Psi’ clutches at his back in pain before Charlie brings Psi’ back to his feet again and this time he whips him off the ropes and as he shoots back he launches him across the ring with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! He then wastes absolutely no time in locking in the HAAS OF PAIN! The crowd pops for the move as Juventud immediately goes to break up the hold but he is suddenly PULLED DOWN OFF THE APRON BY HERNANDEZ! The crowd reacts indifferently before Homicide then does the same to Shelton Benjamin but with more force, slamming his head down on the apron before he plants him with an ACE CRUSHER!
The crowd start booing the LAX as Hernandez suddenly hoists Juventud Guerrera up for the Border Toss… but instead of throwing him to the floor, HE THROWS HIM BACKFIRST INTO THE UNFORGIVING STEEL RING POST! The fans collectively “WOOOAH” before a “WHOLY SHIT” chant starts out. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is ruled a No Contest.
Winner: No Contest @ 7:32
No music plans as Konnan rips off his headset and grabs a microphone and heads into the ring where Homicide has since started beating the fuck out of Charlie Haas and Hernandez inflicting further insult on Psicosis. Out of no where Homicide nails Haas with the GRINGO KILLA! ‘Cide gets straight to his feet and taunts the crowd as Hernandez then plants Psicosis with the CRACKERJACK! Konnan then stands in the middle of the wreckage, ready to speak.
Konnan: Orale! We warned you holmes! The LAX revolution is underway! You can stop a revolutionary but you can’t stop a revolution! Orale! Orale! Ariba La Raza!
Konnan drops the mic as **DAWGZ** hits and the trio make their way out of the ring and back up the ramp. Homicide and Hernandez taunt the fans with their titles as we head down to Styles and Nash at ringside.
Styles: Total destruction from Homicide and Hernandez. The Border Toss into the Steel Ring Post was brutal!
Nash: Damn straight. Hernandez shows no regard for absolutely anyone else’s safety, the LAX just made even more of a statement tonight.
The camera then heads backstage to see Christy Hemme standing by.
Christy: Hi everyone, I’m Christy Hemme and joining me at this time is none other than “The Man Beast” Rhino! And Rhino I believe you have a special message for your opponent tonight?
Rhino walks into shot amidst a big pop.
Rhino: You’re damn right I do Christy… Jamie Noble! Your ass is mine! You’ve been talkin’ the talk for weeks now! It’s time for you to back yourself up! You wanna try and make a name for yourself by laying your hands on a woman?!
Christy looks taken back.
Rhino: Well, that’s crap. You putting Christy here in an STF don’t prove nothin’ other than the fact that you’re a coward! You’re freakin’ gutless!
Heat for Noble.
Rhino: Noble, you got yourself noticed at Out of Exile… that’s for sure, but it was for all the wrong reasons! Tonight, The War Machine is gonna give you a REAL chance to make a name for yourself! But Noble, I could give you a THOUSAND CHANCES! 'Coz it don’t matter how many times we face off the end result will always be the same… GORE! GORE! GOOOOOOOOORE!
Rhino stares a hole in the camera as we head to a commercial.
**COMMERCIAL**
We return from commercial to see a psyched up, but strange, looking Jamie Noble walking backstage when he is met by Austin Aries and the two mystery men that made the save for him last week.
Noble: What the hell do you three want? Ya’ll got a problem with Jamie Noble?
Aries: Yeah, we…
Noble: (Cutting off Aries) Save it, Aries. I don’t wanna hear your crap. After I’m done destroying Rhino tonight, you three are gonna find out why no one messes with the Redneck Messiah, Jamie Noble!
Noble pauses as he grins cockily.
Noble: And you (pointing to one of the “unknown” guys)… you’ve made a damn big mistake showin’ your face ‘round here kid. You shoulda stayed in that no name, budget company that your sorry ass came from!
The fans jeer Noble as he pushes past Aries and co. before the camera heads out to the arena and **HERE COMES THE PAIN** hits to a big flurry of heat and The Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar arrogantly makes his way out, completely ignoring the fans instead staring down his opponent, who was already situated in the ring, Sonjay Dutt!
Match 2
Singles Match
Brock Lesnar v Sonjay Dutt
Here we are for Brock Lesnar token weekly squash match. As per usual Lesnar doesn’t take long in decimating Sonjay, more so this week because we’re trying to save time for our huge Main Event tonight! {Cheap plug!}
Lesnar just toyed with Sonjay for the opening moments until Sonjay tries to get around Lesnar with some speed. Lesnar flicks Sonjay off the ropes and he comes back quickly and tries to nail a Tilt-a-whirl Tornado DDT but Brock simply shoves him off at the last minute. Sonjay bounces up to his feet but he’s met with a big knee to the ribs and then a kick to the sternum before he is lifted up and planted with a devastating POWERBOMB! Lesnar refuses to make the cover as he drags Sonjay back to his feet and whips him off the ropes again. Lesnar goes for a decapitating clothesline but Sonjay ducks it and heads towards the adjacent ropes before he bounces off the middle rope looking for a Spingboard Moonsault! But he is caught in mid-air by Lesnar who then shifts him into the Firemans Carry position before nailing a brutal F-5! Lesnar arrogantly makes the cover. 1… 2… 3. The end. Nothing spectacular here as we round out Brock Lesnar’s weekly squash.
Winner: Brock Lesnar @ 2:20
Lesnar gets back to his feet slowly and arrogantly as he simply scoffs at the fallen body of Sonjay Dutt as **HERE COMES THE PAIN** hits and he immediately exits the ring without to much fuss amidst a chain of heat from the fans before we head to Joey Styles and Kevin Nash at ringside.
Styles: Absolute dominance from Brock Lesnar, Kevin Nash!
Nash: There is no greater force in EPW than Lesnar.
Styles: Maybe so, Christian Cage certainly pulled off a miracle of sorts at Out of Exile when he defeated him. Now, coming up next we have the long awaited debut of Jamie Noble! Also, don’t forget our HUGE Main Event… Edge will be taking on Rob Van Dam under Extreme Rules for the EPW World Championship! Don’t go away!
**COMMERCIAL**
We return from commercial to see Maria standing by looking stupid with a microphone in hand.
Maria: Hi, I’m Maria and joining me at this time, the man who will wrestle Samoa Joe next week right here on Enslaved, Christian Cage!
Huge pop as Christian walks into shot.
Maria: Christian, next week you get to take on Samoa Joe with the possibility of being granted the number one contenders status to the EPW World Title… your thoughts?
Christian: It’s like this Maria, just over three weeks ago I beat a guy that no one was supposed to be able to beat, Brock Lesnar!
Heat for Lesnar.
Christian: I earned myself an EPW Title shot but… I got screwed out of it thanks to an envious jackass that is simply bitter about the fact that I got a title shot in EPW before he did.
Cage pauses as the crowd boos.
Christian: Then last week, when I had a chance to earn another opportunity at the title… I HAD ALL BUT WON the week before, I get screwed again by the exact… same… jackass!
Heat for Jericho despite no mention of his name by Cage.
Christian: Now next week I get another chance to impress, it’s Christian Cage going one on one with Samoa Joe and the winner will go along way towards earning a title shot and the fact of the matter is this… Chris Jericho, next week I’m gonna beat Samoa Joe, no matter how hard you try to prevent it, I’m gonna beat Joe’s ass 1… 2… 3, right in the middle of that ring.
Slight pop.
Christian: Next week I’m gonna get back into the winners circle, I’m gonna prove to Paul Heyman that I’m the Instant Classic, that I belong in the Main Event and that I deserve another World Title shot. My heart beats for my peeps Jericho and as long as they’re chanting my name I’m gonna keep fighting. It’s gonna take more than what you’ve bought to the table so far to bring me down, I’m Captain Charisma you silly bastard!
Pop.
Christian: Next week Joe, unfortunately for you you’re gonna have the misfortune of helping me prove to the World that I SHOULD be the EPW World Champion and that I AM better than Chris Jericho when I do something that he couldn’t even do and that’s beat your ass in the middle of that that ring out there, coz that’s… HOW I ROLLl!
The crowd pops as Cage smiles at the camera smugly before winking at Maria, who apparently got forgotten about, and walking off as the camera then heads out to the arena when **PITBULL** hits and Jamie Noble makes his way out to the ring to a fairly solid reception of heat from the Hammerstein fans.
Styles: Here we go, Jamie Noble’s defining moment.
Noble gets into the ring and starts marching around maniacally when **STAMPEDE** hits to an absolutely huge ovation and Rhino makes his way out and punches his chest before raising his arms to the fans and charging down the aisle and sliding under the bottom rope and immediately starting to hammer away at Noble.
Styles:Rhino is wasting absolutely no time in getting to Jamie Noble!
Match 3
Singles Match
Rhino v Jamie Noble
Once again we have another short match because of the need for time to be saved for tonight’s Main Event. Rhino has been in control for the majority of the match thus far. The two are currently locked up in the middle of the ring but Rhino’s strength proves to much for Noble as he is overpowered and forced into the corner by the War Machine who immediately nails knife edge chop before he whips him hard across the ring and into the opposite turnbuckle. Noble crashes in hard as Rhino charges across at him… but Noble dives out of the way and the Man Beast crashes into the turnbuckle hard. Noble acts quickly a nails a chop block to the back of Rhino’s leg, causing him to drop to one knee before he hits a low dropkick to the spine of the War Machine. With a degree of difficulty, Noble brings Rhino back to his feet and whips him off the ropes and as he shoots back he manages to catch Jamie off guard and plant him with a running shoulder block. Rhino acts quickly and immediately brings Noble to his feet and he hoists him up looking for a POWERBOMB but Noble manages to shift his weight and he tries to snap off a HURRICANRANA but it doesn’t work and he simply falls off. The crowd laughs and starts a “YOU FUCKED UP” chant which Noble doesn’t look impressed about as he gets right up to his feet and he is met by Rhino who acts quickly and whips Noble off the ropes. Noble shoots back and ducks under a wayward clothesline but he turns around and he is immediately met by another, which this time connects! Noble bounces up to his feet and Rhino nails two right hands before he sends him into the ropes again. This time Noble gets a grasp of the top rope and stops his momentum before he can bounce off. He takes a quick glance at Rhino but he then scoffs at him and drops to the canvas and rolls under the bottom rope, turns his back on Rhino and walks right up the aisle to the top of the ramp as the referee has no choice but to count Jamie Noble out.
Winner: Rhino via count out @ 4:24
The crowd shit on Noble for walking, the boo the crap out of him as he stands at the top of the aisle before completely brushing them off and walking to the back as Rhino stands in the ring looking pissed off when the camera then heads down to Styles and Nash again.
Styles: Certainly a very questionable debut for Jamie Noble, Nash.
Nash: I’d call it smart, Styles. Noble’s simply protecting himself as he heads into his big Cruiserweight Championship match at Redemption!
The camera then heads backstage where we see Jamie Noble walking backstage until he runs into Austin Aries, who this time is minus his unknown buddies.
Noble: Aries, you…
Aries: (Cutting off Noble) Save it Noble! After that performance, you have absolutely no credibility! You are a disgrace to EPW! You don’t deserve to be in this company! After what you did to Christy Hemme at Out of Exile, then all the threats in the past couple of weeks and now you FINALLY make your debut… and you walk out on the damn match!
Noble: That’s reeeeal pretty, Aries, but you got bigger things that you should be worryin’ ‘bout…
Aries: Oh yeah, and what’s that?
Noble: (Grinning) Bryan Danielson!
With that said BRYAN DANIELSON then jumps Austin Aries from behind to immense heat. The American Dragon clubs Aries across his back repeatedly, knocking him to the floor. With Austin grounded, Danielson then locks in a CROSSFACE CHICKWING! Intent on inflicting as much pain as possible on Aries he pulls the hold as tight as he can. Aries screams in pain as Dragon keeps the hold locked in until Noble suddenly starts unleashing a flurry of boots to Austin Aries. Danielson immediately releases the hold and stands back up on, stares right into the eyes and shakes his head before pushing him away and walking off down the corridor. We head to commercial with Noble looking a tad confused.
**COMMERCIAL**
We return from commercial to see Joey Styles and Kevin Nash on camera, once again.
Styles: Welcome back to Enslaved and just before the break we saw Bryan Danielson launch a cowardly attack on Austin Aries.
Nash: The day those two face off one on one in the ring, it’s gonna be huge man and I can’t wait for it to happen!
Styles: You’re certainly on the money there, but now I want to take you back to last week where we witnessed this heinous act from Muhammad Hassan and Daivari following the 6 man tag match!

He and Danielson then roll Aries into the ring before he lays the chair down in the ring once more. Danielson then drags Aries back to his feet and delivers a DRAGON SUPLEX, crashing him down on the steel chair this time. The fans continue jeering these three men as Hassan seemingly gives some instructions to Danielson, but The American Dragon just ignores him and blows him off completely before exiting the ring not looking back. Danielson’s actions proving that he won’t take instructions from any one actually draws a bit of a pop from the fans until Hassan then calls for a microphone causing the Hammerstein faithful to shit on him before he can even get started

Huge heat
Hassan: CM Punk! If you can hear me down there in your pool of blood…
The camera pans down to Punk lying in his pool of blood
Hassan: I want you to take notice Punk, this is where your future lies! Lock it in Daivari!
Daivari then locks in the Camel Clutch on Austin Aries just like he did to Sonjay Dutt last week.
Hassan: Punk! This is your destiny! This is your fate! This is your fortune! When we meet in this very ring at Redemption, there isn’t going to be a damn thing you or any of your uneducated, idiotic fans in Chicago can do as you will fall to The GREAT Muhammad HASSAN!
Huge heat as Hassan raises his arms to the crowd momentarily while Daivari still has the Camel Clutch secured.
Hassan: Take a look Punk! Take a good, long, look! This IS… YOUR destiny. Take a look at your buddy down there… take a look at Colt Cabana!
The Camera pans to the beaten Cabana.
Hassan: Take a look at Austin Aries, Punk! Hell, take a good long look at your current situation because when we go one on one for your Pacific Championship, things will not be any better for you!
Huge heat.
Hassan: CM Punk… at Redemption, The Pacific Championship is coming home with a man that will grant it the prestige that it deserves and that will defend it with the dignity and honour that it should be… and you… you’ll be damn lucky if you can even walk out of your home town in one piece because I warn you, I WILL stop at nothing in order to take home that Championship!
With that said… Hassan then CRACKS Austin Aries over the head with the microphone, busting him open and causing Daivari to finally release the hold. Hassan holds his arms up to the fans again for a moment before he climbs a turnbuckle and repeats the taunt until Daivari hands him Punk’s Pacific Championship to hold aloft over his head.
Styles: A true statement indeed, joining us at this time, via satellite, is the man who is actually banned from the Hammerstein Ballroom for tonight’s show… Muhammad Hassan!
Hassan appears on the big screen to a massive reception of heat.
Styles: Muhammad Hassan, thank you for joining us tonight, care to give us any explanation for your actions last week?
Hassan: Joey… CM Punk has continuously made a fool out of me over the past month. First he makes me submit in a tag match the week before Out of Exile. Then, he costs me my match with Colt Cabana at the Pay Per View and then he made me and Daivari look like complete idiots when he still managed to defeat Sonjay Dutt despite our constant interference.
Hassan pauses a little.
Hassan: I wanted to do to Punk what he did to me. I wanted to humiliate him… and not only did I do that, I did so much MORE! I made him BLEED! I made him SUFFER! I made him feel a kind of pain that he has NEVER… FELT… BEFORE! And that… that’s only a taste of what I’ve got in store for him at Redemption.
The ballroom shit on this because they know it was Daivari that took out Punk, not Hassan.
Styles: Would you like to elaborate on that a little more?
Hassan: CM Punk, when this little thing between us started out… it was never about the Pacific Title, but now that it is, you can guarantee that I will not only abolish you of all pride and dignity that you have left… but I will take that Pacific Championship off you as well! When I win that title at Redemption, it will be given the proper prestige, majesty and exposure that it fully deserves when it comes home around the waist of the GREAT… MUHAMMAD… HASSAN!
Styles: Any final thoughts?
Hassan: The people in that bingo hall might hate me, and quite frankly I don’t give a damn how many of them do because I hate them too, albeit for different reasons that all of the racist fools despise me, but soon enough, they’re going to have no choice but to acknowledge me as the Pacific Champion and as the FIRST MAN to defeat CM Punk in EPW and all the hatred in the World can’t tarnish that!
Huge heat.
Styles: I think we’ll leave it there, thank you for your time Mister Hassan. Don’t go away, because up next is our MAIN EVENT… It’s Edge versus Rob Van Dam for the EPW World Title under Extreme Rules!
**COMMERCIAL**
We return from commercial amidst a pan of the Hammerstein Ballroom fans who know it’s Main Event time and a huge “RVD” chant is flowing through with the arena completely until **METALINGUS** hits and the Ballroom erupts into a chorus of boos and jeers as the EPW World Champion, Edge, makes his way out to the top of the ramp with his title secured tightly around his waist as the arena fills with smoke.
Styles: Welcome back to Enslaved, our World Champion is making his way down to the ring at the moment, but it’s definitely fair to say that the Challenger is the crowd favourite here tonight!
The crowd continue to shit on Edge who stands on the ring taunting them until…
…
……
………
……
…
**WALK**
…
……
………
……
…
(Due to the fucking popular demand!) The old school ECW theme of Rob Van Dam blasts through the arena! The Hammerstein fans go fucking ape shit, even more so then last week and Szumi marks out like a 12 year old girl as RVD makes his way out to an absolutely massive ovation. Van Dam does his signature thumb taunt as the fans chant away his initials enthusiastically before he heads down to the ring.
RVD and Edge have pulled out all the straps in this one thus far, with some heavy use of varying foreign objects.
Edge is currently in complete control of the crowd favourite, Van Dam. He has RVD sat up in the corner and is serving up backhand chop after backhand chop with the crowd “WOO!”ing accordingly. After 5 swift chops, Edge whips Rob across the ring, sending him crashing into the opposite turnbuckle before he charges across the ring too and rams his shoulder into the sternum of his opponent. RVD falls straight to the canvas as Edge leaves the ring and heads to the outside, searching for something beneath it. After a few moments, Edge brings out a GARBAGE CAN! (Or for you American folk, a TRASH CAN~!) The Champion lobs it into the ring with the Hammerstein faithful jeering the crap out of him as he enters the ring himself. Edge picks up the foreign object before stalking RVD who is slowly returning to his vertical base but just when he does… CRASH! EDGE THRASHES THE GARBAGE CAN OVER THE SKULL OF ROB VAN DAM! The Hammerstein unleash huge heat on Edge as he goes for the cover on Rob. 1… 2… NO! RVD KICKS OUT!
The crowd pops huge as Edge can’t believe it. Refusing to let his frustrations get the better of him, Edge brings Rob back to his feet before he plants him with the EDGECUTION RIGHT ON TO THE GARBAGE CAN!!! He covers again. 1… 2… NO! Edge is absolutely irate as he begins pulling his hair out and arguing with the referee. After a few moments he then begins measuring RVD up for the SPEAR amidst a chain of heat. Van Dam is slow back to his feet but at soon as he is, Edge charges towards him but some how RVD sees it coming and he LEAP FROGS THE SPEAR! The crowd pops huge as Edge misses completely but he refuses to get frustrated as he rolls straight to the canvas again and out of the ring before coming back in this time with a trusty steel chair in hand! Edge has a big smirk on his face as he re-enters and immediately charges towards RVD… who catches him off guard and NAILS THE VAN DAMINATOR! WAIT! NO HE DOESN’T! EDGE WAS ONE STEP AHEAD OF HIM AND THROUGH THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO RVD! Van Dam drops in a heap as Edge goes for the cover again! 1… 2… NO!!!!
RVD gets a shoulder up once more. Edge gets a clutch of RVD’s hand and immediately brings him back up to his feet and pushes him up against the ropes before he clotheslines him hard over the top and down to the floor on the outside. Edge follows suit and heads down to the floor too, this time retrieving the time keepers ring bell! Once again the crowd shit on Edge as RVD slowly makes it to his feet… Edge charges towards him and looks to put Rob away for good but he ducks underneath it and as Edge turns around he turns right into a huge VAN DAMINATOR!!!! The crowd goes nuts as RVD has pulled out the popular move from no where! Van Dam takes a few moments to recuperate before he drags Edge across the floor before he lays a Steel Chair on top of him. After a few steps back and absolutely no hesitation RVD then charges forward and delivers the ROLLING THUNDER ON TO EDGE WHO WAS UNDERNEATH THE STEEL CHAIR!!! Again the fans pop huge as RVD grabs his gut in pain momentarily before he drags Edge back to his feet and rolls him up on to the announce table! RVD positions The Rated R Superstar so that his upper body and torso area is hanging off the side, he then climbs up on to the ring apron and after the signature RVD Thumb Taunt, he leaps off and nails a CORKSCREW LEG DROP ACROSS THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
The announce table doesn’t break and Edge doesn’t even roll off, but he is clearly not in good shape at all. The fans are in the middle of a massive “RVD” chant now as he clubs Edge across the chest a couple of times and he crashes the back of his head into the announce table. With the Champion seemingly motionless, RVD heads back up to the apron but this time he heads to the top of the turnbuckle. The crowd pops huge in anticipation before Van Dam leaps off the turnbuckle, looking for the FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH TO EDGE! EDGE IS ONE STEP AHEAD OF HIM THOUGH! HE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! RVD CRASHES AND BURNS (take note ) THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!! The Announce Table splatters into a million pieces as Joey Styles lets out a shrieking “OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD” and Nash questions if RVD is dead, before actually poking him to get a reaction all the while the Hammerstein folk let out a huge “WHOLY SHIT” chant.
Edge slowly regains some composure and after a brief assessment of the situation he gets a sick smirk on his face before slowly strolling over to get another chair… hold up, he’s got TWO chairs! He walks back over to RVD and places one of the chairs underneath Van Dam’s head. RVD still hasn’t moved since the huge spot but showing no regard for his opponents well being, he nails the ONE MAIN CONCHAIRTO!!! The crowd shit on Edge again but he simply eats it up, holding his chair up triumphantly for all to see when suddenly he does it again… and again! RVD is clearly a bloody mess and hasn’t moved an inch. The referee finally begins to instruct Edge to get it in the ring and surprisingly, Edge is obliging. He drags Van Dam back to his feet before hurling him straight into the ring apron! RVD crashes back first into the apron but he’s given no time of solace as Edge gets him again and this time flings him into the STEEL RING STEPS!!!! The crowd boos Edge again as he goes to retrieve his EPW Championship before he holds it in the bloodied face of RVD and shouts “You see this… you see this title, you’ll never get it! I’m gonna do whatever it takes to guarantee that! I don’t care how badly I have to beat the crap outta you Rob, this is MY TITLE!”
Edge then slugs Rob across the skull with the championship, causing more blood to run down his face. With the Hammerstein fans booing him more than ever, Edge then rolls RVD under the bottom rope and into the ring. Before rolling in himself, he lifts his title up in the air proudly for all to see. He then drops the title and slowly makes his way into the ring and towards RVD before making a very cocky cover. 1… 2… NO!!!! NO!!! NO!!!! RVD KICKS OUT!!! Edge can’t believe it! He slams his hands down on the mat irately and pulls his hair before he pulls RVD back to his feet, with his frustration still evident. Edge then whips him across the ring and into the corner. RVD lands hard and Edge charges towards him again, this time RVD MOVES!!! The crowd pops again as RVD staggers across the ring and bounces off the ropes with the fans cheering him on but he suddenly runs into A HUGE SPEAR FROM EDGE!! The fans can’t believe it as the Champion has pulled out his finisher from no where! 1… 2… THREE!!!! It’s over! Edge’s retains!
Winner:Edge @ 15:49
Edge lifts himself up slowly off RVD before yelling for his title. The referee hands it to him as **METALINGUS** hits and he stands over a fallen, bloodied, fucked up yet still courageous Rob Van Dam. Edge bends down and says something to RVD again, this time it’s undistinguishable and when he’s done talking he gives Van Dam a little slap to huge heat and leaves the ring.
Styles: WHAT A MATCH! WHAT A MATCH! WHAT A MATCH!
Nash: For the second time in two weeks, keep it in your pants, Styles! Geez!
Styles: Van Dam put up a huge fight but Edge, with the help of some foreign objects managed to prove to strong. Had this match not been in Extreme Rules, then it might have been a different story, who knows?!
Nash: This match was made for RVD! This is HIS specialty! If he can’t beat Edge in Extreme Rules, what hope does he have?!
Styles: Whatever you say, that’s all we have time for tonight. On behalf of the dumbass next to me, I’m Joey Styles, thanks for watching see you next week on Enslaved where our Main Event will be Christian Cage taking on Samoa Joe! What a night!
Edge stands atop the aisle, sucking in the heat, holding his title up as we head off the air.

Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Pretty solid promo to kick off the show I must say, Heyman was good. Jericho was typical of him, pretty good and Joe was meh. I hate Joe. Just do. Don't ask me why. Interesting to see that it'll be Joe/Cage in a match for the contendership, I hoper Jericho fucks Joe over plz.
Far too much of the crowd shitting on people tonight tbh. Pretty nasty stuff imo, not for the weak of heart. :smug
LAX establishing themselves as the dominant force in the tag division here, while this will most likely backfire on them and they'll have to face both teams at the PPV. Solid booking though.
RHHIIINNOOOOO! He better fuck Noble up. Noble has no right to have a win over Rhino, ever. Christy
Noble. Ugh. Aries, better. A feud to come from this? Or possibly even a teaming? Hmm.
Lesnar squashes again and we move on. GIVE LESNAR SOME COMPETITION PLZ!
Christian promo was good stuff. I really do hope he goes over Joe. I like Christian much more.
Good to see Rhino looking like the beast he is here and Noble keeps himself credible by getting counted out instead of copping a mauling. Pretty smart. I hope Rhino ends up doing something meaningful soon.
Ouch. Aries crippled by Danielson and Noble backstage. I can definitely see some revenge coming, but that was pretty rough on Austin.
Hassan = ratings. tbh. Good promo from him, I'm waiting for the Punk to return and kick shit outta him and Daivari.
As said before, the main event was fucking off. Great match, awesome use of the weapons and such and Edge winning cleanly was a huge shock, but RVD doesnt look weak at all after it. Obviously this just leads to the next contender, but where does RVD go from here?
Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
-Oh shizzit, Heyman is shooty~! Cool to see a CW Title coming to EPW, just for the fact that you have a lot of them, and now all the less-used/established cruiserweights won’t get lost in the shuffle. Danielson, Aries, Daivari, and Noble… 4 solid guys to kick off the division. The concept for the match is refreshingly different, although I must say, it seems like a potential bitch to write . Still, solid stuff here… although the Benoit thing was lame in every way. I understand you want to write him out, but it was just far too nonchalant for me. Oh well, he’s gone, that’s all that matters… I would’ve preferred to see you write with him and make a lot of pun’s and innuendo’s. . Jericho’s dialogue was amazing, just for referencing the Man of 1004 Holds. Holy #1… Arm Bar! Hold #428… ARM BAR! Solid stuff with Joe, Jericho, and Heyman… love the Joe enziguri to Jericho out of nowhere. I REALLY love the way you’re booking Samoa Joe. It’s perfect, Para, down right perfect.
-Oh those mean LAX boys. Interrupting a match I couldn’t give two shits about, so my Notorious 187 could fuck some bitches up. I’LL NEVER SURVIVE~! LAX fucking whitey’s and brownies up is always a good time… although what’s the Crackerjack? I don’t know a whole lot about Hernandez.
-Rhino promo was okay – nothing mind blowing, but wasn’t bad by any means. Rhino’s only rock solid when he’s got that gnarling intensity to him; this one didn’t have it. But hey, if you make him beat Noble, then it’s all better.
-Aries/Mystery Men & Noble confrontation… lame and eh. Just wasn’t a fan, especially because The Best Around aren’t the mystery men like they should be.
-I love the Lesnar squashes. I really do. They make my heart warm and fuzzy on the inside.
-Yuk, a feel good promo from Christian. No matter what, he wins because of his peeps. Yuk. I’m going to vomit now. Solid promo, though – you write Christian very well. However, I’m just not a fan of Christian anymore, so I hate seeing him on my telley . If you make him beat Samoa Joe, especially with interference from Y2J still, and I will cry.
-Eh, mixed thoughts on this match. It was hilarious to see Noble make a fool of himself with the botched hurricanrana, but the ending just screams disappointment. Rhino winning makes me a happy panda, but by count out… no ratings for you!
-Ugh, the uncharismatic shit of Aries and Noble again!? They’re not over, and they’re not entertaining. Stop booking them in more than one segment plz. Danielson attacking Aries from behind just doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
-I love how you’re slowly changing the direction of Hassan’s character away from Anti-America and what have you. This was a kicking good promo – I loved every single bit of it. Good job at making the promo seem incredibly personal for Hassan, the backstory before Hassan even begins his promo, Hassan’s humiliation… all a class job, sir. Absolutely wonderful booked and written promo.
-Walk… <3 you like a 12-year old teenage girl loves the Backstreet Boys
-Excellent written main event. Extended recap, and kept my attention the entire time, which is pretty impressive since I usually end up skimming longer matches. However, I read all of your matches for some reason. No idea why, but I do. Lots of great spots, although I still don’t know why I needed to take note to RVD crashing and burning through the announcer’s table, which annoys me. Also, “Holy Shit” not “Wholy Shit”, m’kay pumpkin? But yeah, the match kept me thoroughly entertained, and I liked RVD kicking out and being resilient only to get smashed right after. However, wasn’t too fond of the ending… it just didn’t flow with me – RVD moving from Edge’s charge only to take a Spear out of nowhere. Dunno, didn’t click with me. Other than that, excellent shit.
-Overall, another solid show from you, Para. This truly is one of my favorite BTBs just because it’s refreshing and original. The booking is a lot different (and better) than the standard norm you see at WF, and the writing is solid. Keep up the work, Para, or I’ll be disappointed.

Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Thought I'd drop by and finally give you that review that I've been needing to do...
Great way to kick the night off and yes for a Cruiserweight title being introduced. You know my love for the cruiserweights goes a very long way. Noble as champ plz! Damn if it couldn't get any bigger we get two more big announcements. I'm glad that you decided to go ahead and write Benoit off as I thought that you were going to have him wrestle at the PPV but this is fine that he's gone now. And finally Cage vs. Joe next week is major. Shame Jericho got left out though.
Eh, really not that big of a surprise to see LAX interfere once they were down at ringside. I'd love to see a Triple Threat tag team match. I wish it was a TLC Match but LAX and WGTT just had a ladder match so that's not going to happen.
Rhino's promo was fine and in character but really nothing major. Noble getting a good push is great. I'd rather see him fight Rhino at the next PPV but I guess I'd like to see him as Cruiserweight Champion too. As long as he gets a good run with the title if he wins I'll be happy!
Noble is getting some good exposure tonight as he is being talked about a whole heck of a lot. I liked the part to Aries but after that it was just kinda silly from there on. Especially the comment about the low budget company.
Lesnar = Domination. He really needs to get in a feud soon because ever since he got done with Christian Cage he's just been floating around and beating jobbers to the best of my knowledge. Kind of getting old if you know what I'm saying.
Good promo here from Christian Cage as it shows his ability to throw in a little bit of comedic action in there and being able to be serious. I think had he had a face run in WWE he'd been over well. I'd like to say that he wins the match next week but I wouldn't be surprised should Jericho show up and possibly screw him over. I'm going to go ahead and call that now.
And Noble leaves. Smart on his part since he was in the ring with a guy nicknamed the War Machine and Man Beast haha. Heading backstage afterwards you are getting a good bit of hype heading towards that Gauntlet and I'm really liking that. I have a feeling we're going to be in for a wild match come Redemption.
Good promo here but not as good as last week's with Hassan. I like Nick agree on how you are showing Hassan can cut a promo without having to say everything about him is being racist. That's very good and really freshens up his gimmick because he was very dry cut most of hte time in other's BTB's. Cool to see that though and I'm really digging Hassan right now.
Finally main event time. Overall brutally awesome match and I must agree with Nick again. Wow this is rare haha. After all the brutal action and all you end it with just a Spear. Come on! Something better could have happened than just a regular Spear! Either way it was one brutal match and I'm thinking we get Edge vs. Samoa Joe at Redemption. Wait that's two heels. Who knows we might get a big Fatal 4 Way now for all I know.
