WWE Unforgiven Results

Results from tonight's WWE Unforgiven PPV show:

- Matt Hardy emerged as the new ECW Champion in the ECW Scramble match. I still don't understand all the rules. It doesn't even matter.

- Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes beat Cryme Tyme to retain the tag belts. Afa Jr. came out at the end and cleaned house on Cryme Tyme. Looks like the second generation faction has a new member.

- Shawn Michaels beat Chris Jericho by ref stoppage. What?!

- Triple H of course retained his title in the Smackdown Scramble match. The announcers counted it as his 13th world title reign. He might beat Flair at this rate! Oh. In the record books, will it say Triple H beat Triple H for the title?

- C.M. Punk got beat up by the second generation crew.

- Michelle McCool beat the lovely Maryse to retain the WWE Divas title.

- Big Show came out to ask to take Punk's place in the Raw Scramble match. Vickie Guerrero came out and berated him. Undertaker came out to beat up Vickie I assume. Big Show turned heel and beat up Undertaker. Vickie slapped Taker and spit in his face. I'm giddy.

- My boy, Chris Jericho, is the NEW Champion of Raw! He took Punk's place in the Raw Scramble match and scored the last pin to take the victory! HAHA! I'm going to go have some grape juice!

UFC 88 Results

Congratulations to former Ultimate Figher winner Rashad Evans who knocked the legendary Chuck Liddell the F out at last night's UFC 88 event. The knockout came in the second round after an overhand right. Liddell was out like a light and it took several minutes for him to get up. In the other big match of the night, Rich Franklin beat Matt Hamill. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture match, which was announced last week. I'm putting my money on Lesnar. After all, if he could manhandle The Big Show, what chance does Couture have?

In Case You Missed It...

Here is Kim Kardashian's appearance on Letterman from last week. She briefly mentioned WWE at the end!:

Hold The Phone...

According to a report at the Pro Wrestling Torch website, Gail Kim has contacted TNA President Dixie Carter to see if she can reach a deal to stay in TNA. And if TNA is smart, they will come off of that skrilla and give her an excellent deal. This is a golden opportunity to correct a major mistake. They can take this very marketable wrestler and push her to the moon. I hope they can work something out. Selfishly, I'd prefer to see her stay in the TNA Knockouts Division rather than competing in bikini contests with Mae Young.

Speaking of TNA, Mick Foley issued a statement today saying that he had signed a deal with them. I hope he will have enough power to veto the inevitable cavalcade of goofy skits and climbing matches that they have waiting for him.

90210 Review

I caught the series premiere of the heavily hyped new 90210 on the CW last night. I missed the first 20 minutes because I forgot it was on, but I caught the rest. In my view, I thought it was pretty good. I had trouble keeping up with the characters at first but I figured it out by the end. It was also good to see familiar faces like Rob Estes, the lady from Full House, and of course Kelly and Brenda. Even Nat was back; the Pitch Pit had predictably been turned into a coffee place. They even have a black kid now (of course he was adopted). It's going to be a tough balance to focus on the kids and the older characters. Hopefully they will just spin-off the old characters and give them their own show. Can you imagine Steve Sanders, Dylan and that crazy broad who almost burned down Brandon's house back on the same show again? Tell me that wouldn't beat One Tree Hill!

Torch Report/Words for Candice

Following in the footsteps of legendary wrestling journalists such as Bruce Mitchell, Mark Madden, and, uh, Carlie Gill, something that I wrote actually appeared in the Pro Wrestling Torch (well, at least on the website). I sent in my report of last night's WWE Supershow and it was actually posted on the site. I knew that having a minor in journalism would come in handy some day. This was my greatest journalistic achievement since I wrote a story about the Model Railroading Club in the Kirby Junior High Gazette.

In the report (as you can read below), I wrote about great highlights from the show like the verbal showdown between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho, Vickie Guerrero's heel heat, and Randy Orton's return to his hometown. Unfortunately, I also had to report about the negative: that being Candice Michelle's series of botched moves in the 6-Diva tag match. It dawned on me that such information appearing on a major wrestling website might 1) hurt her feelings and 2) severly damage my chances with her. So to rectify that, I am sending this personal message to Candice Michelle:

Candice, we all have bad days. Hell, if you look closely on this very site, you might even find lame jokes about Kim Kardashian. Some days, even I just don't have it. So don't feel bad. It took a lot of guts to get back on that top rope, so that's something you should be proud of. Plus, as a newly registered voter of one week, you probably had a lot on your mind. You still have your looks, an energetic theme song and tons of fans. And in the end, no one is probably going to even see those mistakes due to the editing wizards of the WWE. So next time you're in St. Louis, and you see some charming fat guy in a Rams jersey, don't take it out on him.

And in the interest of fairness, please enjoy the Candice Michelle related plugs listed below:

With your own Candice Michelle doll, you can make sure she gets all the moves right!

WWE Raw/Smackdown Supershow Spoilers

Results from last night's WWE Supershow at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Starting with Raw:

- Randy Orton returned with his arm in a sling and ran down all of the champions including Beth Phoenix, Santino, Priceless and Rhodes, and Punk. C.M. Punk came out to a nice reaction and he and Orton jawed back and forth. Orton left, but JBL, Kane and Batista came out. Batista speared everyone in sight.

- John Cena's music hit and the crowd went crazy, but it was just Charlie Haas, dressed as Cena. He lost to Kofi Kingston.

- Backstage, Randy Orton slapped Cody Rhodes and said there was no way he would let a couple of thugs steal his belt. Meanwhile, Mike Adamle welcomed Teddy Long and Tiffany as his special guests. Kane interrupted and took Adamle to task for adding Mysterio to the Raw scramble match.

- ECW Battle Royal with Finlay, Miz, Chavo, Matt Hardy and Mark Henry. Henry won.

- Jamie Noble beat William Regal. Layla returned and accompanied Noble. She looked incredible.

- Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and the returning Candice Michelle beat Beth Phoenix, Katie Lea and Jillian Hall when Candice pinned Beth. Jillian did her version of Nelly's "Hot in Herre" to a chorus of boos. Candice went to the top rope and hit a crossbody block on Beth, then had a series of botched moves that would have put Jackie Gayda to shame. It will take a miracle to save this in the editing room. Time stood still. Candice tried hard and I felt really bad for her.

- Santino declared himself the greatest I-C champion of all time and debuted the Honk-O-Meter to show that the Honky Tonk Man had 64 weeks as champion and thus far Santino had 2. He beat D-Lo Brown.

- Miz and Morrison vs. Cryme Tyme went to a no-contest when Cryme Tyme was immediately jumped by Priceless and The Son of Dusty. They took their belts back.

- Kane won a Battle Royal over Punk, Batista, and JBL. Orton watched at ringside. Punk spit water in Orton's face afterwards. Rey Mysterio returned and thrashed Kane. Can't wait to see him get his revenge on Kane at the PPV. Oh. Rey shook hands with the fans around ringside afterwards. It reminded me of how the Fantastics used to do it in their UWF/World Class days.

- Main event was a contract signing between HBK and Chris Jericho. They both did outstanding interviews yet again. Adamle declared that they couldn't touch or there would be no match. Segment ended with Michaels beating up Lance Cade, who no one in my section seemed to know. According to wrestlingobserver.com and a couple of other sites, HBK injured himself somewhere in here and could be out for a few months. Not sure where it happened.

Other Raw Notes:

- Lillian Garcia: certifiably hot. She had on a short skirt and knee-high hooker boots like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman".

- When they showed John McCain on the screen the place erupted in boos; Barack Obama was met with mostly cheers.

Smackdown results:

- Triple H came out for an interview. Huge cheers. Just not from me. Shelton, MVP, Kendrick, and Ezikiel came out to interrupt. Triple hit Ezikiel with a chair and he was momentarily stunned, then Kendrick had to hold him back. Jeff Hardy made the save when Triple H got jumped. After the segment, Triple H pointed to the sky and said "this is for you, Killer", which didn't seem to be for TV.

- R. Truth beat Bam Neely. Truth came out of the crowd about three seats away from me. Good reaction, decent match. People got into the "what's up" chant.

- Undertaker came out for a promo. He basically said that he would be sending Vickie Guerrero to hell on Sunday to join her husband....... Edge.

- Shelton beat MVP like a common scrub.

- Maryse beat Maria. Maryse is improving and got decent heel heat. Also, she is mega-hot. Michelle McCool came out at the end and they had a staredown, ending with Maryse making a flourish with her hair and leaving. Michelle is really thin. She could use a couple of servings of cornbread and red beans and rice.

- My new favorite wrestler, THE Brian Kendrick pinned Jeff Hardy. Crowd loved Hardy and couldn't stand Kendrick.

- Super Crazy beat Ryan Braddock. Kozloff came out and threw out Crazy. He asked for bigger competition and out came the Big Show. Before they could go at it, Vickie came out to nuclear heat and demanded that they both leave. The heat was off the charts. The more she talked, the louder the boos got. I could barely hear her. Basically I think she said that she would not be intimidated by the Undertaker and demanded an apology from him on Sunday. I have been watching live wrestling since 1985 and I am hard pressed to recall anyone getting heat like that.

- Brie Bella beat Victoria again. She crawled under the ring and it appeard that she did the switch with her sister.

- Backstage interview with Triple H. Jeff Hardy interrupted. Triple H pretended to receive a call and said it was from Dr. Black and he hoped that Jeff would be there on Sunday. This probably went over the head of most of the audience.

- Triple H beat The Great Khali in a lumberjack match with the rest of the scramble partcipants on the outside. Story of the match was that everytime the lumberjacks beat up Triple H, Jeff Hardy would make the save. H won with the pedigree. At the end, Hardy laid out H with the twist of fate. After the cameras stopped rolling, they did a comedy segment where H pedigreed Shelton, MVP, Kendrick and Shelton again. Ezikiel teased going to the ring but walked away.

- Two good shows. It was a long night, but the shows are well worth checking out.
