Jim Ross was the special guest referee tonight in the dark main event after the WWE SmackDown tapings in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The match saw Rey Mysterio and WWE Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston defeat Alberto Del Rio and Kane.

After the match, Ross and Del Rio got into it. Mysterio and Kofi snuck up from behind and Ross pushed Del Rio over them to end the show.

I like the name "The Core." Also, I read a set of spoilers which said that Michael Tarver was checking on Teddy Long backstage. Perhaps he will be a new babyface on SmackDown!?

Teddy Long being taken out is intriguing, as it shows that The Core don't like fucking around. Of course, they are denying it, which means it probably wasn't them -- so that sets up an interesting angle there. It's back to the good Nexus stuff. Also, Justin Gabriel gets a huge victory over Edge. That will surely help him in the long run, and I expect Gabriel to be one of the Core guys who really gets a lot of good from being on SmackDown!.

Alberto Del Rio again stood up to some heels, and while there is no doubt that he is a bad guy himself, it shows that Del Rio has balls, which is awesome for his character. It adds a little depth, and Del Rio going over R-Truth is never a bad thing, in my books.

Beth Phoenix wrestling and Layla in wrestling gear are always okay by me.

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes is actually a pretty fresh match, and I'm sure they worked well together. I feel that Rey could use some momentum heading into the Rumble.

The Miz on SmackDown! is good for the show, and a Jim Ross appearance doesn't hurt. He seems to really want to help Jack Swagger get over, doesn't he? Swagger winning an amateur wrestling challenge fits his character, and continues the issues between Swagger and Kingston. Part of me sort of hopes that both men move onto different things, though.

The Drew McIntyre vs. Trent Barreta stuff was actually pretty much what I called, but I almost expected another Barreta victory. It'd be intriguing if they end up putting Kelly Kelly with Barreta to get him more over, and give McIntyre his heel edge back.

If he had the mask, he was just looking for an unconcious body to rape.

Michael Tarver should never lose the mask...

...or unconscious bodies to rape.

#BROKEN Hasney

They should really do an angle, like with Rikishi's sunglasses. When he put them on, he wanted to dance. When Tarver puts his mask on, he wants to rape. Smell the ratings.

I'll see how it plays out, but I think it's more to get at Dolph than help Edge.

They should reform the Nation.

But this time, give it an international flavor with guys from different countries. Just off the top of my head I'd say America, England, South Africa, and then some random ass country like Guyana or something. And don't call it the Nation either. Give it a name like the Cord or the Corn or something. That'd be sweet.

Also woo @ Gabriel going over the world champ in the main event. That's HUGE.

Mr. Nerfect

01-19-2011, 08:31 AM

So Jack Swagger is feuding with Kofi Kingston who is feuding with Dolph Ziggler who is feuding with Edge? Anyone else sense next week having an Edge & Kofi vs. Dolph & Swagger match?

I love when they zoom in on him when he's ready to do the 450 and he's got that kinda far off stare as he just waits waits waits and then bam 450, great build up to the move.

Yup, the former tag-team champion who was always jobbed and never won a match ever prior to this in his 6 months of a rookie year. out picked up a win.

Supreme Olajuwon

01-19-2011, 12:57 PM

Gabriel definitely has a future with the company. So it doesn't surprise me that he'd get the 2nd biggest push of the group. I think Slater could be ok with more ring time, but I'm positive Gabriel can do it.

Shadrick

Even still, its a good thing. Dolph is the number one contender for the World Title, and if they somehow carried over that Kofi/Dolph feud to upper card, I'm alllllll for it.

You mean where they beat their own stable mates in a lie down finish?

My point was for the longest time Nexus was barely ever winning matches, basically since Cena joined and beyond.

Except Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater who defended their tag titles until Cena was fired.

Mr. Nerfect

01-20-2011, 02:49 AM

I prefer Core to Corre.

Early on, the Nexus guys got some pretty big victories. Justin Gabriel holds some falls over John Cena and Randy Orton (now Edge), while Heath Slater got numerous falls against Chris Jericho, Edge and even Bret Hart.

Personally, I want to see Heath Slater with the Intercontinental Title. I think he's the guy in The Core who needs the most help. I don't think he sucks, like most do -- but I feel that Ezekiel Jackson will get over with his size alone, and Gabriel will get over with his ring skills. Slater just doesn't have either a look or the outstanding presence that those guys do.

Lara Emily

01-21-2011, 11:41 PM

Slater is getting better and his new finisher is a lot better than his old one and One Man Rock Band was kinda fumy, not to mention him and Gabriel work well as a team. I'm really digging The Corre, good music a pretty cool logo, our guys who each bring something to the table (well Slater not as much), I just really enjoy their pack mentality. Watching them beatdown Edge was super satisfying. I'd love to see Slater and Gabriel as tag champs, Ezekiel Jackson as IC champ and Barrett as World Heavyweight Champ all at once before this group is done their run, it'd be sick

Best thing about The Corre is that there's no David Otunga to second guess Barrett every 15 seconds nad suck up face time as a shitty second in command.

That's One Man Rock Band Heat Slater to you.
Gabriel's got a gret badass look, I love the 450 being given such a devastating sell to it. You rarely see a top rope flip move being given any real sort of lethal credibility beyond wow look at that sort of thing

I kinda chuckle how they say they're all equal, I can buy that for the other 3 but Heath lol, I like him fine but to talk about him like he's their equal is funny. That being said The Corre fucking rocks still!

#BROKEN Hasney

01-22-2011, 04:01 AM

I guess Swagger's interview with JR was just to get the crowd against him to stop him getting a hometown pop. Enjoyed Rey V Cody and Swagger V Kofi as well.

Also Miz :heart:

I love Drew as well, I'd love to see him not be a part of The Corre, but team with them to take people out. Kinda like Jericho did a couple of times with the nWo near the end of his WCW days.

I'm very close to marking for Justin Gabriel. I don't watch RAW enough, but now that he is on SmackDown!, I think I'll become more and more of a fan. I hope he gets to shine in the Royal Rumble Match.

Also, Heath Slater just has something about him I like. I can't put my finger on it. He reminds me a bit of Triple H. Not for any particular reason, but I just get this...vibe. Maybe it's because I'm familiar with some of the characters he played in FCW. I think the stuff many feel work against Slater will end up working in his favour. And I buy him being a threat with The Corre. He just seems like a natural overachiever.

Mr. Nerfect

01-24-2011, 05:50 AM

I feel the same way (there being something I like about Slater but not sure what). I don't see the Triple H comparison but I like him a lot and his new finisher looks hell of a lot more devastating then his old one, and he doesn't botch this one.

Yeah, after watching SmackDown! I revise my Triple H comment. There was something, but it was only at a distance on how I remembered him.

I said in another thread about The Corre that I think it might be because Slater comes off like an idiot, but he's actually presented as a really intelligent in-ring character. He's out-dirtied Edge in the past. It's not that he can't back himself up, but he's just got this cunning element to him, which Matt Striker pointed out on SmackDown!.

The guy is playing the exact opposite character to what he seems. He appears to be an idiot hick along for the ride -- but he's actually an intelligent hick out for blood and glory. Slater could easily cut his hair, dye it, get himself more tattoos, etc. -- but he doesn't want to appear menacing. He's taken the way he is naturally, and incorporated it into almost in-ring poker face.
