Fatal 4 Way Play-By-Play
As there seems to be no thread...
And as it's airing free in the UK... And as it's my first PPV since WrestleMania... And as I'm sure someone out there must care... |
I'm watching while really drunk
|
Vince comes out, announces Bret won't be at the show due to the attack from the NXT rookies last week... the crowd chants "Daniel Bryan" at him... Drew McIntyre out first... recap of a Drew-Matt Hardy feud I knew nothing of (yes, I've really fallen out of the loop recently...)
|
Vince is driving off in his limo to "meet with Bret Hart's representatives"....
|
Drew is great Drew is great Drew is great
fans were chanting daniel bryan while vince was out |
Does anyone have a good stream of the PPV where I don't have to fill out some survey to "Unlock" the PPV?
Christ, I hate those things. |
Drew calls out Teddy Long... calls him a pathetic shell of a man... says he did the right thing as he is still collecting a paycheck but he has no pride... I don't have a clue what he's talking about... Drew is going to win back his Intercontinental championship. He lost it? He makes Long sit in a chair and upon claiming said title (from Kofi Kingston it seems) Teddy will be forced to hand the strap to the Scot.
|
I don't have one at hand because I'm not watching but check out Justin.tv, UStream, Freedocast, channelsurfing.net, myp2p.eu etc.
|
Striker says that Drew has been trying to show Kofi Kingston "what its like to be a man". He's starting early tonight, huh?
|
Why do wrestlers insist on calling the wrestling business "our industry"? I don't even like the term "business" considering as far as the viewer should be concerned its a sport. Yes we all know it isn't, but when you tune into WWE television shows, what you are watching is an entertainment show about a sporting federation called WWE. EVerything depicted on TV should enhance this feeling. Chandler Bing never turned to camera and remarked on Matt Le Blanc being one of the "best actors in our industry". Well... then again, he wouldn't would he...
|
Striker once again on PPV turns to King and asks him how it feels to be in a match and suffering from an injury... and couples it with that other favourite "whats going through your mind"... on the one hand, it's fucking annoying. On the other, its always amusing to watch King struggle to answer.
|
Cole reeling off all the countries currently watching the PPV... we've only been on air 15 mins!
It's a slow news day on WWE pay-per-view. |
carl are you watching on a stream? seem a few mins behind!
|
By the way, why did we get a big recap package of a Drew McIntyre-Matt Hardy feud, and then open with McIntyre vs Kofi Kingston??? I only just noticed! Surely a Drew/Matt match would have made more sense here?
|
No I'm watching live on Sky Sports 2. The delay is the amount of time it takes me to... y'know... type the words out. :$
|
Hah! That DDT was awesome!
|
Has Drew McIntyre got enough shit going on? He's feuding with Teddy Long, he's feuding with Matt Hardy, he's feuding with Kofi Kingston and he's Vince McMahon's chosen one. Oh, and he's at the forefront of the Intercontinental title scene.
Why don't they also use him as a ring post so he can be in every shot? |
How the fuck is Drew McIntyre failing to get over with this push?
Or is it just this particular crowd? |
Sweet sassy molassy.

MEMO TO DREW MCINTYRE:
This is the flag of your home country Scotland: http://celticpapers.com/images/item_655.jpg This is the flag of Finland: http://www.33ff.com/flags/XL_flags/Finland_flag.gif You've got them the wrong way round you fucking idiot. |
Have the WWE refs got brittle bone disease? Or narcolepsy?
One little bump and they turn into Rip Van Winkle's lazier older brother. |
LONG STOPS COUNTING BAH GAWD HE STOPPED THE COUNT
|
Teddy is pulled in and forced to wear the referee stripes.
Teddy counts to two, but stops... shakes his head... wish he had flipped Drew the bird, Shane-O-Mac stylee... Drew is pulling a face like a little girl devouring a lemon whilst engaged in a staring contest... I take that to mean he's pissed... He says if Teddy doesnt count to three he will throttle him... Matt Hardy runs in with a Twist of Fate... Kofi hits Trouble in Paradise... Kofi takes the pin and the win. |
This had all the hallmarks of WWE trying to create a "classic"... a 20min+ opener for the IC title... years ago that would have been a guarantee of quality... but this never seemed to click.
The crowd were behind Kofi though, so it was at least fairly heated. It was okay. It certainly should have been a lot better, considering the current status of those involved. "What a way to kick off this event!" - Michael Cole Piss off, you hack. |
DH Smith devotes the Hart Dynasty & Natalya vs The Usos & (whatever their bird is called) to Bret Hart on Father's Day.
Davey Boy Smith would be doing nip ups in his grave if he could hear that. |
Maryse looks like if that film Mannequin were to happen in real life, but with a blow up sex doll.
|
I think I'm alone now.... there doesn't seem to be anyone around...
|
Concession stands must be doing slow business tonight, the Divas are up second...
|
The PPV name, Fatal 4Way, that doesn't sound very PG does it? What with the mortality and sexual connotations...
|
Keep it up, I will read after the ppv and will let you know how it fared against Ryan Clark's version.
|
I don't even know who two of these women are... Jesus, how far behind have I fallen with wrestling? There was a time when I wouldn't miss a single show.
|
Fuck Ryan Clark.
|
Matt Striker just called Gail Kim "the Jumping Bomb Angel". Why does Striker have to crowbar references to the past into his commentary, no matter how contrived?
If Maryse fucked every guy in the dressing room (kayfabe) he would probably remark on her "Sunny disposition". Somebody just won the match but I didn't notice whom. |
The black one won.
|
That's not racist, it's a fact. I don't know her name.
They all look the same to me.... |
I mean the Divas of course!
|
Alicia doesnt look as hot as she used too.
|
Especially the black ones.

Matt Striker is dressed like Jack the Ripper's less trendy little brother.
|
Chris Jericho is coming out to do that thing he does where he's the best in the world at whatever it is that he does.
|
yeah i woulda fucked her six ways from sunday then
|
Chris Jericho is not the best in the world at choosing hair styles.
|
JERICHO GETS CHEERS!
|
Jericho still doing that same monotone "I'm superior" spiel from 2 years ago?
|
wcw still gets mentioned? :eek:
|
Jericho vs. Bourne tonight??
|
Jericho bitching about not being a hot topic anymore, because he's always been the underdog and now he's at the top of the mountain and "the most important performer on this roster"- fuck, again with the "this isn't a real sport" shit. Performer???
Y2J bemoans having a target on his back. Turns his attention to Evan Bourne. Why? Apparently Bourne hit a shooting star press on Jericho last week and it's really stuck in his craw. There will apparently be a rematch tonight. Nice step up for Bourne, but a comedown for Jericho to now be used to bring other people up. Rightfully so, but it must be hard to take for Jericho. |
Evan Bourne looks like a bulimic Lee Evans.
|
So is this the second previously unadvertised match of the evening? (Along with the Harts vs Usos, to come later)
WWE has such a high opinion of Jericho and his drawing power nowadays, they throw him into a bonus match unannounced beforehand. |
Jerry Lawler: "As much as Matt thinks I know what's going on inside the head of Jericho, I don't"
Totally unprompted! I'm not the only one who has noticed then... |
What's this? A smark crowd?
|
I may have misheard, but I think Matt Striker just called the rear chinlock a "pretentious submission hold". Aren't they all?
|

xero is probably controlling it |
A nice camera close-up just showed Bourne miss a kick to the head by at least 8 inches. Nonetheless, we still heard a nice cracking sound and Cole says we could all feel it at home.
Sorry, Cole, I'm not feeling it at all. And, you know what? I blame you! |
bah gawd will he tap
|
somehow he got the ropes
|
Walls of Jericho, and Bourne makes it to the rope... break!
Jericho propels Bourne into the announce table. Into, not through... that would just be silly. |
"Jericho's skull went head first into the steel" - Michael Cole.
Is it possible for your skull to go into anything other than "head first"? |
Why does Cole love calling the head the "skull" anyway?
|
Wow, been a really good PPV so far. Even the Divas match was decent.
|
Bourne misses the shooting star but lands on his feet, Jericho hits the Code Breaker (that name no longer makes any sense for Jericho's character). Bourne with the leg on the rope breaking the pin. Jericho tells Bourne to stay down.
Jericho misses a charge in the corner. Schoolboy rollup for the two count. Bourne counters a Walls attempt into a tornado DDT. To the top, Jericho looking for the superplex. Bourne pushes Jericho off. Teases the shooting star. Jericho stops him. Looking for the plex again. Facefirst to the mat for Jericho. Bourne hits the shooting star to Jericho's back. 123. Bourne pins Jericho clean. |
You know what I just did? I just totally marked out. :)
|
Great match for an afterthought.
|
good match, even if the ending was obvious.
|
prepare for rey to get booed :cool:
|
World title is up next apparently. Strange scheduling for what is supposed to be co-holder of the title of Most Prestigious Championship in the World.
|
Vegetative state!!!!!1
|
Undertaker is in a vegetative state?
That didn't hinder him for the first six years of his WWF run? |
When they're saying Undertaker is in a vegetative state, do they mean he's gone on vacation to Alabama?
|
THERE WILL BE VENGEANCE
|
The worst part of this PPV has been that they only mentioned "vegetative state" once in that promo.
|
So it's Rey vs Kane vs Biff vs Big Show?
Where's CM Punk in all this? |
wtf, i predicted punk in tipsters to win, fucking screwjob, damn you vince.
|
oh punk is in it
|
Oh, I see the Big Show has turned face again?
How can I tell? He's got a big shit eating grin. You can always tell if Show is heel or face by whether he has a shit eating grin or a scowl that could curdle milk while its still in the cow. |
So, Punk is in this?
|
lets go punk
|
Wait... so Kane isn't even in this match?
B..b..but... The entire video package revolved around Kane. Much like the Drew-Matt Hardy reel that opened the show. What the fuck is going on tonight? Is WWE just trying to signpost every run-in of the evening? |

I may reach 9000 posts tonight!
And it only took me a decade. |
REY GETS BOOED AHAHAHAHAHA
|
Why is Tony Chimel back in the SmackDown ring announcer position? I thought Justin Roberts was SD?
|
Rey in gold and purple... feeling nostalgic for the WCW days I guess...
|
punk thinks he's rey mysterio all of a sudden
|
he even did the exact same move as rey at the sametime, ffs!
|
These matches should be elimination rules. I hate the 'first to score a pin' rule. It makes for an annoying viewing experience, and even within kayfabe it doesn't make any sense because the winner only beat one guy, not all of them. As a 'legit sporting contest', it sucks. As a staged wrestling event, it sucks. Yet the WWE felt it was a strong enough concept to build a pay-per-view around it.
Well the key word in pay-per-view is 'pay', And I would never ever have paid for this event. |
When Matt Striker first started commentating, he was a breath of fresh air. Interesting, informative and amusing: almost a modern day Jesse Ventura. Nowhere near as good, but showing that kind of potential.
Now he's unbearable and obnoxious. What for the love of fuck went wrong?? |
BAH GAWD ITS KANE
|
Punk hit the Go2Sleep on Thwagger, nailing him viciously in the... erm... shoulder. Which was enough to knock him out, it appears.
Kane comes out with a casket. He attacks Punk and chokeslams him into the casket. The announcers seem to think this means the Straight Edge Society were the ones who attacked Undertaker. Rey Mysterio pins Jack Swagger after flopping on top of him from the top rope and wins the World title. Meh. |

|
BOLLOCKS
|
<font color=goldenrod>I'd have to think Cena will definitely retain with all of these title changes having already happened.
Then again, they've switched the WWE, WHW, and ECW titles all in one night before.</font> |
Will Rey's second title reign enjoy more success away from the lofty shadow of Eddie Guerrero?
|
It's hilarious when the kids in the front row are taller than the WWE World Heavyweight champion.
|
Does the Money In The Bank pay-per-view signal the end of the WrestleMania tradition?
Interview with John Cena. Mixed reaction. Does that even need to be said anymore? MEMO TO VINCE: It's been FIVE YEARS already since the Cena backlash. Turn the guy heel! |
There was a Cena backlash?
|
Hey, why did the other thread get sticky status? Just because it has the word "official" in the title, like that actually means anything??
They were both born at the same time. Show me some love! |
i love miz
