Del Rio also says he got him a new ride. Ricardo Rodriguez drives a mobile scooter out to an Edge-like entrance. Del Rio tells Brodus Clay to attack Edge (who is on the ramp) but as Clay goes up the ramp Christian is hiding under the ring with a ladder. He attacks Clay on the ramp then takes out Del Rio. Christian gets in the ring with the ladder and grabs the World Heavyweight Championship from up top. Edge applauds from the ramp to end the show. After the show: * Christian hosts a proper farewell for Edge. ![]() Last edited by #BROKEN Hasney; 04-20-2011 at 06:23 PM. Reason: Juan was stuck in March :'( |

I always liked the Kane/Show team when they did it last time, so nice to see them get a push again.
Also lol @ Sir Michael Cole. |

Anybody know of any reports where it says who the 3 guys with Cody are? I'd assume they're local or tryout guys given the tour.

They seemed like guys that would have been given tryouts. Some strappin' lads who were called "assistants" by Rhodes dressed in suits. Cody's promo was really awesome, by the way. He's seemingly changed his promo style. He cracks his voice, and it's a little off-putting, but it suits what he's doing.
The retirement party was surprisingly entertaining. Del Rio and Clay were priceless as the Lita impostor came out. Del Rio was gyrating and stuff, and Clay was all like "Dude, are you serious?" When Ricardo came out on the mobile scooter, he used Kerwin White's theme song -- complete with Edge hand signals and pyro.

To be perfectly honest, by the way, I'm actually thinking that Christian wins at Extreme Rules. The fans have been responding well to him, and if he chokes now, then when will he get his opportunity? I think Captain Charisma has to win.

Some pretty great moments this week, specifically Cody making the front row wear paper bags over their heads and Ricardo Rodriguez doing a Kerwin White / Edge hybrid entrance.

I was incredibly happy to hear Kerwin White's theme tonight.

Yeah, seen it now. Joel Redman on the left (who apparently was signed) Micky Long in the middle and I don't know about/couldn't really make out the 3rd guy.

Wow, you know your UK guys, CSL. I think Redman had a good look, from what I remember. Different for a British wrestler in the WWE (I assume he's British, anyway).

I was just checking to make sure someone noticed the Kerwin White theme. Carry on, gentlemen.

Yeah, he looks fantastic. First time I saw him was maybe 4-5 years ago, he was on a pretty bad charity show in the building where I started my training and he was just a dumpy kid in a singlet, nothing to him at all. His progression has been immense and pretty envy-inducing, worked his balls off. He's not the tallest guy, Sheamus and Wade have a good 4-5 inches on him and his promos are nothing to write home about but the same went for Barrett before he got 'the call' and look how he's turned out. Plays 'intense wrestling machine' well, gumshield and all.

I look forward to hearing of his development. It'll be interesting to see what he gets saddled with in the WWE.

Another note on Smackdown, I thought Cole's reaction to Show and Kane winning the tag titles was shit. A title changing hands should be treated like a huge deal. Cole's reaction after the pin: "... impressive"
