Re: BigJohnnyNitro's take on the WWE.
I know its a little late because I got banned for a week but here it is. enjoy.
THE ROYAL RUMBLE 2010
The opening video for the Rumble plays and a video package airs.
The video package first shows build up for the World title match and clips from past matches between Punk and Batista. It also shows clips from recent CM Punk promo's in which he promises to be in the main event at Wrestlemania and how that has been his dream and his goal.
The second part then shows the rivalry between DX and Jerishow. It shows the past two matches, first DX winning with HBK pinning Jericho after a sweet chin music, then Jerishow winning after Big Show pinned Triple H after a knock out punch. It then shows the build up to this final match and how the stipulation came about.
The third video showed the rivalry between Randy Orton and his former tag partner and friend Ted Dibiase Jr. It shows how there rivalry came about and the run ins and losses they'd caused each other in the past few weeks. It also shows the way Ted won his number one contendership in the battle royal on Raw weeks ago and how there rivalry has came along since then.
The show then opens with a bang as the pryo's go off.
Cole: Hello and welcome everyone to the 2010 Royal rumble, I'm here tonight with all my colleague's from both Smackdown and ECW and ofcourse Jerry 'The King' Lawler is here as well.
JR: Thanks Michael, Tonight we start the road to Wrestlemania 26. We will find out one of the participants of this years main event, and its in no means clear as to who is going to win it this year!
Striker: The roster has so much talent in it these days that there is no clear favourite. Do you go for one of the old school favourites like Undertaker or The Game or do you choose one of the new crop like Morrison or Dolph Ziggler.
Todd: You're right Matt but theres still the matter of sorting out the title matches too. We have all the world titles on the line tonight and we will be kicking off here with the World Heavyweight Championship match!
World Heavyweight Championship match
Batista (c) vs CM Punk (If Punk loses then he will never recieve a World Heavyweight title shot against Batista again)
CM Punk's music hits and the crowd splits, half booing, half cheering. Punk comes out from behind the curtain looking very cocky. He makes his way down to the ring looking confident and shouting to the fans that 'he will be taking the world heavyweight championship home with him tonight'. He walks up the ring steps and stands in the ring awaiting the animal.
Batista's music hits and he also comes out to a split crowd, some cheering Punk still and others letting out huge cheers for Batista. He comes from behind the curtain with his world title around his waist. He walks down the ramps and as the pyro goes off he goes for his signature gatling gun pose. He finished his descent to the ring and climbs up on to the apron and into the ring as the two men stare each other down. Punk points to Batista's belt then to his waist as they trash talk each other. The ref gets inbetween them and takes the title off Batista and lifts it high above his head so everyone can see it. He reads through the rules and pushes each man into a seperate corner.
The bell rings and we're off, the two men meet in the middle of the ring and Batista goes for a big right hand. Punk ducks it and hits back with kicks to the legs and knee's of the animal. Batista goes for another big right hand but its ducked again and Punk hits him again with more kicks then a dropkick to the knee with brings Batista down to his knee's. Punk kicks him in the ribs then drops the elbow down right over his back and goes to work stamping on him as he's on the ground. He then grabs Batista's on and locks in an armbar, twisting the arm and pulling it upwards to try and dislocate it again, its only been a couple of months since he made his return after that horrible injury suffered at the hands of Randy Orton. Batista groans in agony but begins to power out and manages to roll on to his back and push Punk off him. As he gets up though Punk is straight back on him and hits him with a low drop kick to the ribs which knocks him flat on his back again. Punk goes for the same arm again but Batista hits him with a right hand this time and makes it back to his feet quickly. CM Punk, who's a little dazed after that strong right quickly turns around but walk straight into a scoop slam from Batista. Batista grabs the downed Punk by the throat with both hands and pulls him back to his feet then lifts him up in the same position as high as he can. The ref begins the coutn of five but Batista immediately slams Punk back first down to the canvas. Punk begins to crawl away and Batista comes after him trying to grab his leg. Punk kicks him in the face and gets back to his feet, Batista runs at him but Punk hits him right in the side of the head with another kick. That almost took Batista's head off but he rolls towards the ropes. CM Punk bounces off the opposite ropes and hits Batista with a baseball slide pushing Batista off the apron and face first down on to the outside. Punk now waits for Batista to get up and as he does he bounces off the ropes and runs and suicide dives straight through the middle rope, flying into Batista head first and both men go flying back into the security wall. Batista looks the worse off as the back of his head went crashing against it, Punk though also holding his head is beginning to stir and pulls himself back to his knee's and then back to his feet. Batista is sitting up against the security wall and Punk runs over and just kicks him in the chest. then pulls him up and whips him against the apron and follows that up with a knee to the stomach and a spinning chop to the side of Batista's face. Punk rolls into the ring to break the 10 count and then straight back out again as he gets right back on to Batista who is again back to his knee's. Punk pulls him over and hits his head off the steps, and again, and a third time then he pushes the top of the stairs off and gets on to the other, bigger part of them. He attempts to lift Batista into a piledriver but Batista fights in and flips Punk backwards on to the safety mats but floors to the floor himself as well as he tries to regain some composure. Both men begin to get up at the same time and Punk rolls back into the ring closely followed by Batista and both men are up again. Punk runs at him but Batista picks him up on to his shoulder and runs and slams him down on his back and quickly covers...

Kick out from Punk again. Batista back up to his feet quickly and stamps on Punk to keep him down. He then pulls him up and whips him off the ropes and as he comes back he goes for his signature spinebuster but Punk reverses and hits a DDT driving Batista's head into the canvas. Punk pulls Batista up and keeps him in a headlock as he hits him in the chest and face with a couple of knee's then whips him to the corner and follows up by running at him and running up the ropes and hitting the shining wizard quickly followed by a running bulldog out of the corner and covering...

Batista quickly realises and follows him out but Punk gets up and rakes his eyes then pushes him back into the ring apron. Punk climbs on to the apron and wraps his legs around Batista's neck trying to choke him out but the ref starts the 5 count anf forces Punk to break the hold. Punk then walks along to the end of the apron and as Batista gets up he runs across it and dives off with a rolling senton splash on to him, Punk also crashes down to the mats but he's straight back up and looks pumped up. The crowd start a Batista chant and in reply another section start a Punk chant. Punk grabs Batista and pulls him up and rolls him into the ring.

Batista powers out. Punk's back to his feet first though and he sits Batista up and locks in a front face lock but quickly breaks it and kicks Batista in the back then turns him over and locks in a camel clutch...
Batista tries to struggle back to his feet and manages to out-power Punk and get back to his feet lifting Punk in the process as he hangs on trying to regain control. Batista backs into the corner and Punk is forced to let go as he slouches into the corner. Batista runs at him but Punk lifts himself on to the top turnbuckle and Batista goes shoulder first into the steel turnbuckle pole. Punk drops down and rolls Batista up with a sunset flip...

No, just kicks out. Punk gets up and measures up Batista who is slowly getting back up. Batista turns and CM Punk lifts him on to his shoulders for the GTS!! Batista drops off the back though and Punk turns and Batista picks him up and hits the Spinebuster!!! Now Batista is pumped up and he grabs the top rope and shakes it violently, signalling that the end is coming. Punk gets to his knee's and Batista grabs him and pulls him into the powerbomb position. Batista shows the crowd the thumbs down then lifts Punk up but Punk fights back with punches to the Batista's head then hits a hurricanrana. The fans are still split as half boo that move and half let out a massive cheer. Both men back to their feet and Batista runs at Punk who grabs him and hits an STO and locks in the Anaconda Vice!! Its right in the middle of the rign and Punk has it locked in now fully!!
Batista is hanging on and edging towards the ropes but he's starting to fade and looks close to passing out. The Vice is cutting off the circulation but he's still fighting to get there. He's edging closer and closer and you can see the pain on his face as Punk puts as much pressure on as possible.
Punk can be heard shouting 'Tap out, Tap out!', he's screaming it at Batista. Batista has the heart to hold back though and he's nearly there. The look in Punk's eyes is scary, the focus as he tightens the hold as much as he can. The crowd start another Batista chant and are quickly cancelled out by Punk chants.
'LETS GO BATISTA', 'LETS GO PUNK!', 'LETS GO BATISTA!!', 'LETS GO PUNK!!!' can be heard throughout the area as the fans fight it out. Back in the ring and Batista grabs the bottom rope!!! Punk breaks the hold and pulls Batista up and whips Batista off the ropes, Batista bounces back, SPEAR!! Out of nowhere, the cover...

Batista struggles back up to his feet as Punk still tries to hang on. Batista hits him with a couple of right hands and he has to let go. Batista throws another big right but Punk ducks it and hits Batista with a dropkick which Batista blocks and grabs the leg, Punk drops to the canvas face first but Batista keeps hold of the leg and locks in his Ankle lock. He's been pefecting this over previous months and you can see Punk grabbing his hair with pain written all over his face.
Batista gets the hold tightened as Punk tries to crawl towards the ropes. Punk is up on his hands and crawling as Batista tries to keep him centered in the ring. You can see the determination on Batista's face now. The ankle looks distorted, likes its going to snap from the power of Batista's huge arms.
Punk gets closer and closer and he's nearly there but Batista loosens the hold and pulls him back to the middle of the ring...
He goes to tighten it again but Punk turns on to his back and kicks Batista in the face, and again and a dazed Batista stumbles backwards. Punk gets back to his feet and runs at Batista who kicks him in the stomach and pulls him into the powerbomb again. Batista lifts him but the arm is bothering him and he can't get a good grip on him. Punk drops down and hits Batista right in the face with a spinning heel kick.

No!! Nearly but still not good enough. Batista gets up and begins shaking the sore arm, he then waits for Punk to get to his feet, scouting him out as he makes it to his feet. As Punk turns Batista kicks him and pulls him in to the powerbomb and lifts him up. You can see the pain on his face but this time he hangs on. Punk punches away at him, Batista Bomb!! Delivered to perfection...

And its over.
The winner and still World Heavyweight Champion, Batista.
Punk left lying in the ring begins to sit up and you can see the disappointment on his face. Batista rolls out of the ring and collects his World title with a smile on his face as he makes his way up the ramp holding his title above his head.

WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (c) vs Ted Dibiase jr.
Ted Dibiase makes his way out to the ring first as his music blasts throughout the arena. The fans show him support after his recent face turn and break away from legacy. He walks slowly down to the ring and walks up the ring steps and through the ropes where he poses for the fans and soaks in the atmosphere of his very first pay per view title match.
The crowd suddenly stop the cheers as they hear Orton's music though. As he comes through the curtain he's met by overwhelming boo's but he seems to love it. He walks slowly down the ramp to the ring, staring at Ted with an evil glare. Ted just stares right back showing no fear as Orton homes in on him. He slides under the bottom rope and gets up and right into Ted's face. The crowd can hear Orton shouting that Ted would 'never ever! get the title as long as he has it' and 'that he is lucky that he even allowed him to challenge for it'.
The ref steps between them and takes the title, he explains the rules to both men then lifts the title high above his head showing everyone whats on the line tonight. Ted stands in his corner and stares at the title as Orton stares across the ring at Ted.
The ref rings the bell and this ones underway. The two men are cautious of each toehr as they tie up in the middle, Randy gets behind Ted and gets down and trips him up. Ted gets back to his feet and looks over as Orton stands there smiling at him and shaking his head. Ted hits Orton right in the face with a forearm though then a kick to the mid section and a quick DDT straight into a cover.

Orton powers out and gets back to his feet rushing straight at Dibiase and hitting him with a knee to the stomach then a european uppercut knocking Dibiase to the canvas. Orton drags him to the corner then chokes him with the boot but stopping just before the count of five. He then picks him up and hits a snapmare and locks in a headlock. Dibiase quickly gets to his feet and elbows Orton in the stomach forcing him to release the hold. Dibiase then bounces back off the ropes but Orton jumps and hits him straight in the face with a perfect looking dropkick. Orton doesnt go for the cover though instead he poses for the fans as they boo him. Dibiase begins to crawl away but Orton walks over and stamps on his hand and then kicks him in the ribs which rolls him on to his back. Orton then outstretches Dibiase's arm and jumps up and drives both his knee's down on to it, and a second times, and then he locks in an armbar. Dibiase groans with pain and tries to get to the ropes, he struggles but Orton has it locked in too tightly and Ted has to reach over and rake his eyes. The ref warns him that he will stop the match if it happens again but Dibiase free's himself and gets to his feet. Orton is not up as well and Dibiase runs and knocks him back down with a clothesline. He's straight back up again but this time Orton picks the pace up, he runs at Dibiase but runs straight into a quick powerslam, the leg is hooked.

No good. Orton gets the shoulder up again but looks a bit shaken as Dibiase pulls him towards the ring apron then steps outside the ring. He lays Ortons face across the outside of the apron and hits a few forearms over Randy's face and chest before pulling him out headfirst on to the outside. The ref begins his 10 count as Ted lifts Orton up and takes him to the steel ramp picking him up and scoop slamming him down on the steel. Orton rolls around in agony and Ted makes his way back to the ring rolling in and out to stop the count. He makes his way back over to Orton and pulls him back to his feet and pushes him back first into the ring apron then strikes at him again with punches to the face. Orton hits back with a knee to the stomach and a boot to the face then rolls backwards under the bottom rope into the ring. Ted regains his composure and climbs back into the ring but as he's stepping through the ropes Orton kicks him in the chest then grabs him in a headlock and pulls his legs on to the middle rope so he's stuck in a DDT position. Orton starts breathing heavily then yells to the fans and drops Dibiase face first into the mat with a horrendous looking DDT. Orton sits there next to him with a huge smile on his face like he's enjoying the suffering. He rolls Ted on to his back and covers him.

We have our first elimination, DH Smith who looks very disappointed as he walks off towards the back. He did look very impressive while he was in there and he showed great strength but that lack of experience showed in a big match like this.
Back to the action now, Cena still motionless on the outside lying in the middle of the broken remains of a table, A tired looking Undertaker slowly gets back to his feet, Dreamer down and holding the back of his neck in the corner, Regal down in an opposite corner and Ziggler the only fit man in the ring at the moment as he now begins to choke Regal in the corner with his boot, that alliance looks to be over now.

The crowd erupts in a mass of cheers for the second time tonight as we see Shawn Michaels come running out from the back, this time to the sound of his old 'sexy boy' theme tune as DX are no more after the match earlier tonight. Michaels slides into the ring, Sweet Chin Music to an oncoming Cody Rhodes, Sweet Chin Music on Regal as he turns to to throw a punch at him. Michaels is looking around the ring now and he walks over behind Kozlov and taps him on the shoulder, Kozlov turns around and bang, Sweet Chin Music and Cena falls to the apron and back into the ring safely. Morrison turns and runs at HBK hitting in the back of the head with a forearm, HBK turns and knife edge chops Morrison, and again, and again, Morrison has no reply as he's pushed back into the corner, another knife edge chop and another one before Morrison turns the tables and switches places with HBK pushing him back into the corner and hitting his own chops, the Wooo's have turned to boo's now though as Morrison is hitting the offence. Morrison whips HBK to the opposite corner now with so much force that HBK flips up the turnbuckle and then back down again. He's dazed on his feet as he turns and Morrison tries to hit the superkick but HBK ducks under it and Morrison turns back around and straight into an inverted atomic drop, then a scoop slam and Michaels is on fire, he signals to the fans that he's going up top and he climbs the turnbuckle, measures up Morrison and hits dead on with his trademark elbow drop. He gets up and he's going crazy shouting for the fans support, Ziggler comes from behind with a running forearm and the two men collide and both go down.

The buzzer goes for the final time...
Zak Ryder comes out and he's the final entrant in the 2010 Royal Rumble. He runs down and into the ring and all of the men take a step away from each other as they suddenly realise that they are the final superstars in the rumble. They can almost taste it, they're that close to a 'Mania main event.
Here's a quick run down, Zak Ryder is in there and fresh, HBK is there but he's bloodied and battered, Jericho is also still there, Swagger is there but looking a bit tired, Punk's still in there and so are Christian and Kofi Kingston. Thats our final 7 and they look around at one another... And now we're underway, Christian goes straight back for Jericho, Swagger spears down HBK and goes to work with the punches, Kofi goes after Punk and the two men tie up, Punk whips Kofi off the ropes and Kofi bounces back and slides through his legs. As Punk turns around he gets arm dragged by Kofi, he gets straight back up though and Kofi arm drags him again and then this time runs over and takes Punk down straight away with a clothesline as he's getting up this time. Zak Ryder comes over though and kicks Kofi in the mid section then hits him with the Zack Attack. Punk gets up and begins to help Ryder take Kofi to the ropes. Now Swagger comes over as well and they lift Kofi over, he's trying to hang on but the numbers game is getting to him and he's over and down to the apron. Swagger swings a punch at him but he ducks it and uses his flexibility to kick Swagger in the face. Punk rakes Kofi's eyes though and then kicks his feet out from under him and he falls to the fall.
Kofi Kingston is eliminated 24th.
Ryder attempts to high five Punk but Punk picks him up and hits him with the GTS!! Then he clotheslines him up and over the top rope!!
Zak Ryder is eliminated 25th.
And now we are down to five as Christian and Jericho battle it out, Jericho whips Christian to the ropes and tries to follow up with a clothesline but Christian dodges and slps through the second ropes and hitting his Pendulum kick stunning Jericho just long enough for Christian to hit his Killswitch! Christian picks up Jericho and tries to throw him out but Jericho is clutching onto the top rope, he has his arms and legs around it. Christian tries to push him out but from behind comes Swagger and he pushes Christian over and he falls out to the apron, also knocking Y2J to the apron as well. Christian and Jericho both punch Swagger and he falls to the canvas, they then turn there attentions towards each other and begin trading blows. Both men are holding the top top rope with one hand and punching with the other. Christian begins to get the upperhand but Jericho hits back with a low blow. Swagger is back up and he pushes Christian off the apron!!
Christian is eliminated 26th.
Swagger then hits Jericho and he loses his balance but hangs on to the top rope. Jericho is just dangling there from the top rope trying to keep his feet from the floor. Swagger kicks away at his back and Jericho can't hang on.
Chris Jericho is eliminated 27th
Chris Jericho begins shouting at Christian on the outside and a fight begins between the two of them. The refs run over to break up the argument. Back in the ring and theres three men left. Swagger runs over to HBK and the two men tie up, Swagger whips him to the ropes and as he comes back hits a tilt-a-whirl slam. Punk runs over and hits the back of Swaggers leg with a dropkick. He then whips Swagger to the corner and runs at him, running up the turnbuckle and hitting a knee to Swaggers face then following that up with a bulldog. HBK at the other side of the ring is reaching to the outside for something. Punk picks up Swagger and takes him to the ropes, he lifts the leg up and tries to take him over up Swagger is too strong. He pushes Punk off but HBK comes running over and hits Swagger with a steel chair that really shakes him up. HBK hits a second chair shot which knocks Swagger over the top rope but he hangs on. A final chairshot and Swagger is gone!!
Jack Swagger is eliminated 28th.
This leaves Punk and HBK in the ring, Punk quickly runs over and drop kicks HBK in the back and he falls forward on to the ropes. Punk lifts him up and over but HBK falls to the apron and hits CM Punk with the chair. Punk falls back into the middle of the ring and HBK drops his steel chair to the outside and rolls back in under the bottom rope. HBK gets back up to his feet and stumbles over to Punk. He tries to pick him up but Punk hits him with a low blow then just grabs him and runs and drives him back first into the turnbuckle! HBK turns Punk in the corner and hits him with knife edge chops. Punk swaps again and begins hitting his trademark kicks. HBK swaps back and hits more chops until Punk's chest is red raw. HBK whips Punk to the opposite turnbuckle and follows him over, Punk springs himself up off the turnbuckle to try and get up and over HBK to get behind him but HBK catches Punks legs in the air and tries to throw him over the top rope to the outside. Punk lands on the apron and regains his balance, Sweet Chin Music!! Just missed this time as Punk ducks out of the way and HBK gets caught up on the top rope. Punk grabs the top rope and begins shaking it before clotheslining him off the top and back into the ring. Punk steps back in through the middle rope and picks HBK up and tries to lift him on to his shoulders. Michaels gets loose and falls down the back and pulls Punk around, Sweet Chin Music!! Dodged again by Punk as he ducks under it and hits an STO and into his Anaconda Vice!! No breaks here and Punk holds it in long enough to try and get HBK to pass out...... He finally releases it and pulls MIchaels up by his hair then gets him into a scoop slam position and tries to dump him out over the top rope. Michaels grabs the top rope again though and pushes himself back away from the edge of the ring. Punk gets infuriated and slams him down in the middle of the ring and leaves the ring to find the chair. He picks it up and slides in under the bottom rope and sizes up Michaels. He's shouting to the fans as HBK gets back to his feet, Punk runs at him and swings the chair, SWEET CHIN MUSIC!! AND IT CONNECTS!! Smashing the chair back into Punks face and both wrestlers are down.
They finally begin to stir and they each pull themselves up at opposites sides of the ring. CM Punk stumbles towards HBK and Shawn runs at him but Punk quickly grabs him and powerslams him. Punk starts to walk to the corner and slowly climbs to the top turnbuckle, a little slower then normal and HBK gets up and runs to the corner to stop Punk. Punk is stuck on the top turnbuckle here and HBK climbs up there with him, Both men are trading blows on the top of the turnbuckle, HBK begins to get an advantage and CM Punk stumbles for a second but pokes Michaels in the eye and regains his balance then dives over the top of Michaels hitting a sunset flip into a sitdown powerbomb!!! And Michaels is broken in half. Punk slowly gets to his feet holding the bottom of his back, this time he pulls HBK up and onto his shoulders. He edges towards the ropes and tries to firemans carry him to the outside but again HBK hangs on to that top rope, Punk keeps pushing to get him over but Michaels kicks Punk in the face, and again and Punk drops him. Michaels runs at him and clotheslines him down. Punk is straight back up and HBK runs at him again this time hitting a diving forearm, Michaels kips up and the crowd go wild. CM Punk back to his feet and he walks straight into an inverted atomic drop, then the scoop slam. HBK makes his way to the top slowly, might not be the best idea as he is struggling with his back. Punk is back to his feet this time and HBK see's him but can't do anything about it. Punk runs up the ropes at the turnbuckle and kicks HBK across the side of the head with an enziguri type kick. Punk falls hard into the ring but HBK falls to the side and can't hang on, he crashes off the ring apron and reaches for the bottom rope but he misses it and falls to the outside!!
Shawn Michaels is eliminated 29th!!
