The Raw Review - 25/05/2009
Tonight’s Memorial Day Raw is dedicated to the Men and Women of the United States Armed Forces, they do indeed deserve to be remembered as they do amazing and often thankless work.
I would also like to dedicate this Weekly Rundown to the Men and Women of the British Armed Forces who also do a stellar job and also deserve to be remembered.
Opening Segment
Poor Ole’ Nuggets
After all the welcomes have been done Lillian Garcia introduces E. Stanley Kroenke and a pretty poor impersonator makes his way down the ramp while we get to see a video of what has led to this. For anyone unaware of what has happened, in a nutshell Kroenke double booked the Pepsi Centre in Colarado and the WWE (through no fault of their own) lost out.
After shaking hands with some other fakes including Jack Nicholson, Kroenke entered the ring and said that he didn’t care about screwing the WWE fans before complaining about how he has been vilified by everyone and their mother over the past week. Vince McMahon soon interrupted him and swaggered down the ramp the way only Mr.McMahon can, before informing everyone that he will be launching the XBA but warning people it will be a miserable failure because he’s going to put Kroenke in charge. It’s nice that he can finally poke fun at the XFL.
Vince tells Kroenke that he could have avoided all this by just calling him and saying there was a problem, but he didn’t and now here we are. He tells the crowd that the E. in his name stands for Enis and makes a Penis joke or two before saying when you push the WWE Universe it pushes back; pushing the fake Kroenke to the floor and out of the ring.
The Miz then emerges and apologises for interrupting the Boss. He says that he made his name in L.A, the home of the Lakers. He then ripped his shirt off to reveal a Cleveland jersey and pledged his allegiance to them instead.
After insulting a few more Lakers players of past and present he said that he would beat Cena tonight. Cena didn’t take long to emerge and the two looked set to square up in the ring until Priceless appeared and jumped him.
Batista was next to hit the ring, shortly followed by The Big Show and finally Jerry Lawler. When all was said and done Batista and Cena cleared the ring of the heels but not before Show had beaten down The King.
Match 1
Divas Championship Match
Kelly Kelly
Vs.
Maryse (c)
I have to confess my FF button got a bit of a hammering during this match as I didn’t really have any interest in watching a match with such a predictable outcome.
From what I saw Kelly Kelly wasn’t as bad as I’d expected her to be but I can think of far more worthy contenders for the Divas Championship and far better opponents for Maryse.
Surprisingly Kelly Kelly picked up the win here but as I predicted the title didn’t change hands as it was a D.Q finish.
Maryse sat Kelly on the announce table then pushed her over it, which to the best of my knowledge has never been a disqualification worthy offence but tonight it seems it was.
Kelly Kelly wins by Disqualification. Therefore Maryse retains the Divas Championship.
Segment 2
J-J-J-Jack Nic-Nic-Nicholson?
Backstage Brie and Nikki Bella walked with the fake Jack Nicholson from earlier. Goldust and Hornswoggle stop him and as him if he would give a little feedback on some acting they have been working on.
They did a pretty poor rendition of the famous ‘You can’t handle the truth’ scene from A Few Good Men and fake-Jack looked relatively impressed.
The best bit of this segment had to be the return of Goldust’s Tourettes personality, which although very near to the bone does provide some pretty funny moments.
After some clips of last week Flair and Batista have a short chat backstage. Flair says he is going to call Orton out and Batista asks him to consider waiting until after he has destroyed him at Extreme Rules and he’s a little banged up.
Flair takes offence at Batista’s comments and insists that he will call him out tonight, storming off presumably to do just that.
Match 2
Triple Threat No.1 Contender U.S Championship Match
Matt Hardy
Vs.
William Regal
Vs.
Kofi Kingston
Things stayed fairly even in the opening few minutes of this match and just before the commercial break current United States Champion M.V.P made his way down the ramp and joined the commentary team.
This was a good match which flowed really well and all three guys had more than one opportunity to grab a victory thwarted by one of the others.
Kingston picked up a deserved victory after drilling both guys with the Trouble in Paradise and covering Matt Hardy for the three.
After the match Kofi walked over to M.V.P and indicated that he wanted his title although there wasn’t the tension that normally accompanies a challenger and champion squaring up with each other. M.V.P told Kingston he was happy that he won and he was deserving of the title shot he will be receiving next week.
Kofi Kingston wins by Pinfall and becomes the No.1 Contender for the U.S Championship.
Segment 3
Ric Flair, Batista, Randy Orton and the 5th Man
I like Flair, I think he’s cut some fantastic promos and he’s certainly had some amazing matches, but I think he’s just about at the end of his career.
The first few minutes of this segment made pretty much no sense what so ever.
Flair rambled on about Orton attacking him from behind last week and said there was no shame in being beaten by the WWE Champion but he’d like to see what happened when he tried to attack him when he was ready for it.
Orton came out and said that he wouldn’t fight Flair again; not because he had any sort of respect for him but because he is a washed up train wreck and he won’t be goaded into a match against past it wrestlers like Chris Jericho was.
Orton tells him that his career was over 6 years ago in Evolution and Triple H only kept him around because he felt sorry for him, just like the fans felt sorry for him now.
Flair slapped Orton and the Champ snapped, beating him down until Batista came to the rescue. Orton told Batista that his career will be over too come Extreme Rules and then something very unexpected happened.
KENNEDYYYY hit the speakers and Raw’s prodigal son finally returned from his movie making exploits and appeared at the top of the ramp. He grabbed his trademark microphone and told Orton that this wasn’t over, in fact it was just getting started.
He said tonight marks the official return of the man who will soon be WWE Champion and the 5th guy in the 5 on 5 match tonight; Mr. Kennedy….Kennedy.
Match 3
Mixed Tag Team Match
Santino Marella & Mickey James
Vs.
Chavo Guerrero & Beth Phoenix (w/Rosa Mendes)
The premise behind this match is that the winning team of this match get to decide the stipulation for the recently made ‘Miss WrestleMania’ match at Extreme Rules.
In my opinion both the Divas involved in this match would have been much better suited to the Divas championship match earlier tonight.
Instead they competed in this match which lasted little longer than a few minutes.
Mickey James rolled up Beth Phoenix with a Crucifix pin after Santino had distracted the Glamazon from the outside.
After the match Vickie declared that Chavo would officially be in her corner at Extreme Rules and Santino decided on a ‘Hog Pen’ Match, whatever that is.
I bet the boys at THQ are panicking now, how will they ever get this match included in time for the release of Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009?! (Sarcasm fully intended)
Santino Marella & Mickey James win by Pinfall.
Segment 4
Don’t Pin Cena
Backstage The Big Show warned The Miz not to pin Cena tonight as he planned on making him tap out. The Miz was his usual obnoxious self and brought up Judgement Day, which didn’t go down well with Show but he chose to ignore it after The Miz refused to say it to his face.
Match 4
Tag Team Match
Goldust & Hornswoggle
Vs.
‘The’ Brian Kendrick & Festus
Kendrick continues his pursuit of a tag team partner to challenge the Unified Tag Team Champions (who joined J.R. and Michael Cole on commentary) and this week he has picked Festus, who he cleverly decided to dress in an L.A Clippers jersey.
Festus refused to attack Hornswoggle in the early stages of the match leading to Kendrick tagging himself in rather abruptly and attacking the little guy himself.
Festus then refused to tag Kendrick when he was in trouble and this led to a Tadpole Splash and another loss for Kendrick.
After the match Kendrick went to drill Festus with a chair while he was in his catatonic state but Primo rang the ring bell which brought the corn-fed colossus to life and he chased his now former tag partner away.
Goldust & Hornswoggle win by Pinfall.
Main Event Match
5 0n 5 Match
Team Lakers
Batista, John Cena, M.V.P, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler & Mr. Kennedy
Vs.
Team Nuggets
Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, The Miz & The Big Show
The teams were introduced by L.A. Lakers P.A announcer Lawrence Tanter. It was clear that although every effort had been made to find the biggest Denver Nuggets jersey possible for Show, it was still a few sizes to small.
Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and Cody Rhodes started the match off in a throwback to Lawler’s many matches against The Dream.
Frequent tags for the Nuggets team kept them in control coming up to the first commercial break and when the action returned they still had the upper hand. However, it wasn’t long until M.V.P managed to tag in the returning Mr. Kennedy who looked in top form and wasted no time in scoring a near fall over The Miz.
The Nuggets team re-gained the upper hand moments later with some some dirty tactics and once again began isolating the opponent in their corner with quick tags.
After what seemed like an age Kennedy managed to tag in John Cena and the former WWE Champion beat the hell out of Rhodes before tagging in M.V.P. The two then hit a Ballin Five Knuckle Shuffle before M.V.P hit the Drive By and won the match.
Things then broke down into a finisher-fest with Dream Streets, Mic Checks and RKO’s all topped off with a massive Suplex on The Big Show from Batista and Cena.
Much like game 3 of the Playoffs the Lakers have pulled off a huge win despite being on the back foot for the entire match.
Did anyone really expect it to go any other way?
Team L.A. Lakers win by Pinfall.
The ECW Digest – 26/05/2009
Opening Segment
Reality Bites
Christian makes his way to the ring and says that it is fitting tonight’s show is in Hollywood as the people there will be able to understand what he is about to say better than most.
He likened Jack Swagger to someone who has gained a small amount of fame from a reality T.V. show, saying he walks around like he’s the biggest name in town not realising that actually his moment in the spotlight is well and truly over.
He then went on to talk about how Swagger once again interfered in his title defence against Tommy Dreamer last week and said that he was going to put an end to the situation tonight, calling out the All American American.
Swagger eventually answers the call and tells Christian that his time is far from running out, in fact it is just beginning.
He says that the only thing coming to an end is Christian’s time as the Champ as they will meet with the belt on the line at Extreme Rules.
Christian asks if the stipulation is going to be something wild like a ‘Hey I’ve already seen Christian beat this dork twice’ match and Swagger replies by saying it is going to be a ‘Jack Swagger looks good and returns to glory’ match.
Interim ECW General Manager Tiffany then makes her way to the ring. She says that Swagger is only telling his side of the story and because of his actions last week on Superstars the match at ECW will be a Triple Threat including…. you guessed it; The ‘ECW Original’ Tommy Dreamer.
Swagger says that as Dreamer’s contract expires a day before Extreme Rules he shouldn’t be able to compete but Tiffany explains that he has signed a 1 day extension so he can have the fair title shot he deserves.
The segment ends with Dreamer dumping both men out of the ring and looking confident of making good on his promise of winning the ECW title before his contract expires.
Match 1
2 on 1 Match
Vladimir Kozlov
Vs.
Joey Munos & Russ Taylor
Oh joy another Kozlov squash match. If this is all the guy can do then I seriously don’t know why he hasn’t been sent to training or something because this is totally pointless and getting just a bit boring now.
Normally this is the point where I’d talk about the two young jobbers and give you a little background on them, but I couldn’t find an awful lot about these two, in fact I couldn’t find anything at all about Russ Taylor.
Joey Munos has done slightly more, debuting with XPW in 1999 and becoming the longest reigning XPW Television Champion, holding it for 18 months after winning the belt in August of 2001.
From there he went on to work for CZW and then on MTV’s Wrestling Society X before appearing (and jobbing to Snitzky) on Raw in 2007.
Russ Taylor has apparently styled himself on C.M Punk but I’m willing to wager that we won’t see much either men’s fighting talent in this one.
Kozlov roughed up both men before scoring a pinfall over Taylor.
Vladimir Kozlov wins by Pinfall.
Segment 2
Friends Divided
Backstage Dreamer and Christian have a little set to following what happened in the ring earlier. Dreamer says that Christian blanked him in the ring and disrespected him just as much as Swagger did.
The two begin brawling and it takes Finlay to step in and break them up.
The camera’s cut away and when they came back Striker and Matthews were telling people that WWE Superstars are highly trained and the things they do should not be replicated.
Later in the next match they also said that Finlay had come off worst in the scuffle and he might not be able to compete tonight but we didn’t see anything to suggest that so it will be interesting to find out what has happened.
Match 2
Singles Match
Mark Henry (w/Tony Atlas)
Vs.
Evan Bourne
I like Evan Bourne but the prospect of this match doesn’t excite me at all. I think he is at his best when he is against another Cruiserweight Superstar and a match against someone as slow as Henry isn’t really going to allow him to show off his high flying, fast paced style.
Henry spent the majority of the match grounding Bourne with power moves and submission holds, while Tony Atlas landed cheap shots at every opportunity.
Because of how much of the match Henry dominated it came as no surprise when Bourne took advantage of a small opening on the outside and picked up the win by count out.
If I had to put this match in a category, I’d file it under ‘a Mysterioesque victory’.
Evan Bourne wins by Count Out.
Segment 3
Finlay’s out
After the last match finished the commentary team informed us that Finlay had suffered an eye injury and would not compete in tonight’s main event match.
Tiffany, Dreamer and Christian are then shown talking backstage. Tiffany reprimands them for their part in Finlay getting injured and says that tonight’s main event will go ahead as scheduled but as a 2 on 3 Handicap match rather than a 3 on 3.
Main Event Match
3 on 2 Handicap Match
The Hart Dynasty & Jack Swagger (w/Natalya)
Vs.
Christian & Tommy Dreamer
Natalya introduced herself, Tyson Kidd and David Hart-Smith before telling the crowd that they are a part of something that no one else will ever be a part of, as collectively they are The Hart Dynasty.
This match was given a lot of the show to work with and although all the guys put in a solid performance it did seem to drag slightly in places.
Dreamer and Christian worked well together in the early going, having seemingly put the earlier confrontations behind them. That being said there were a couple of occasions where they spent a little too long conversing with each other and not focusing on their opponents.
Smith and Kidd showed definite signs of tag chemistry as I thought they would and I would expect they will be challenging, if not winning the Unified Tag Titles by Summerslam.
Completely against the run of the match Jack Swagger picked up the victory with a Gutwrench Powerbomb on Christian after driving his shoulder into the ringpost.
After the match Dreamer attacked Swagger but The Hart Dynasty quickly gained the upper hand and hit the Hart Attack, leaving both members of the face team down and out as ECW went off the air.
The Hart Dynasty & Jack Swagger win by Pinfall.
The Superstars Recap - 28/05/2009
Opening Match
Tag Team Match
The Worlds Greatest Tag Team
Vs.
Carlito & Primo
A very athletic start to Superstars tonight.
Just to clear things up regarding Benjamin and Haas; I’m fully aware they aren’t being announced as The Worlds Greatest Tag Team any more but I’m sure everyone would agree that it sounds way better than just using their names so I’m going to stick with it.
Primo in particular impressed me in this match. Up until now I’ve thought of him as fairly average but he has certainly gone up in my estimations after this performance which was fast, furious and almost perfect in execution.
The match rolled on with neither team getting a clear upper hand until Cryme Tyme’s music hit the speakers and they made their way out to ringside, distracting TWGTT and ultimately costing them the match.
Carlito hit the Backstabber on Haas to pick up the win after Shelton had been distracted by Cryme Tyme and knocked off the apron.
Carlito & Primo win by Pinfall.
Match 2
Singles Match
Jack Swagger
Vs.
Finlay
You’ll all be glad to know that Finlay’s eye injury from Tuesday night on ECW hasn’t proved to be serious and he is back at 100%.
Or at least he was at 100% until about a minute into this match when he fell from the top rope to the outside and seemingly injured his wrist.
Again it didn’t seem to serious although the match seemed significantly slower than you’d expect with a lot of submission holds and ground based moves being the order of the day.
Swagger looked to finish the match with a shot from Finlay’s own shaleighle but when the referee stopped him he instead chose to hit a Gutwrench Powerbomb and grab the 3 count fairly.
Jack Swagger wins by Pinfall.
Main Event Match
Singles Match
John Cena
Vs.
Ted DiBiase
Cena makes his Superstars début match in a bout against Ted DiBiase which you would think must be all about wrestling ability as there is almost no rivalry between these two men.
The problem there is that while DiBiase is a good wrestler Cena really isn’t. Don’t get me wrong he works hard, he puts on a good show, but from a wrestling standpoint he’s the new generation’s Hulk Hogan; he needs a promo or a storyline to really make his matches entertaining for anyone who isn’t a massive fan.
I honestly believe if they turned Cena back into a cocky rapping heel I’d love him. But as this toned down (even more so now his finishers have both been renamed), crowd popping, repetitive face I just struggle to muster any interest in 90% of what he does.
DiBiase looked good but you never really expected that he would beat Cena unless there was some serious outside interference in his favour… and there wasn’t.
After failing to hit the F-U Attitude Adjustment numerous times Cena picked up the win with the STFU STF.
John Cena wins by Submission.
The Smackdown Summary - 29/05/2009
Opening Segment
Rey Mysterio speaks about Extreme Rules
Rey talks a bit about his No Holds Barred match against Jericho at Extreme Rules. He says it will be off the hook and he will do anything he can to shut Jericho up once and for all, giving the first ever Undisputed Heavyweight Champion the perfect moment to interrupt him and make his way to the ring.
Jericho asks Rey if it will be ‘off the hook’ when he caves his head in with a steel chair, then goes in to one of his usual rants.
Mysterio cuts him off and says that his word means nothing as he has promised a lot in the past and failed to deliver, including knocking out Mickey Rourke at WrestleMania (Rourke is then shown in the crowd.)
Jericho then focuses his attentions on the star of ‘The Wrestler’, saying if he wasn’t such a professional he would slide to the outside and knock him out right now.
Jericho then goes on to insult WWE fans before moving on to Rey’s mask, saying he wears it because he has something to hide as only criminals, cowards and people with dirty little secrets hide their faces. He then promises that he will rip it from his face before the two had a set to in which Jericho barely avoided the 619.
Anyone getting flashbacks to the Kane/Mysterio feud from last year? It’s like they just grabbed the old scripts and re-hashed them slightly to match Jericho’s style of delivery. The saddest thing is Jericho is far more likely to beat and/or unmask Rey than Kane ever was.
Match 1
Tag Team Match
R-Truth & The Great Khali (w/Runjin Singh)
Vs.
Mike Knox & Dolph Ziggler
After R-Truth and Khali rapped their way to the ring (Khali had taken on the duty of shouting ‘What’s Up’), Knox and Ziggler came out separately and the match began.
Knox and Khali did what they do best in this match, using immense power to slow the match down while Ziggler and R-Truth delivered the more fast paced offence.
When Khali and Knox faced each other it was actually quite alluring to watch despite Knox never really hitting anything on the big 7 footer.
At the climax of the match Ziggler attempted a cheap shot on Khali which failed. He then began walking to the back and left his partner to be hit with the Punjabi Plunge and covered for the 3.
R-Truth & The Great Khali win by Pinfall.
Match 2
Divas Match
Melina
Vs.
Alicia Fox (w/Michelle McCool)
This bout was littered with distractions and interference from Michelle McCool but ultimately Melina won by pinfall after hitting a move very similar to The Big Show’s little used and now defunct finisher; ‘The Hog Log’ (a Leg Drop where both Superstars/Divas begin standing and the victim is driven to the canvas with the executors leg.)
After the bell Michelle grabbed Melina’s Womens Championship belt and looked at it before pushing it onto Melina’s shoulder and walking away, leaving her protoge’ down and out in the ring.
Melina wins by Pinfall.
Segment 2
John Morrison Interview / Jeff Hardy
Josh Matthews asked Morrison his views on Umaga. Morrison called him a moron and said he is planning on confusing the Samoan Bulldozer before beating him.
Shelton then interrupts and says that IF he survives Umaga then he shouldn’t forget that they have unfinished business in the ‘real world’.
Morrison says that in the real world he has beaten both Benjamin and the other half of the ‘Worlds most forgotten tag team’ twice and in the real world Benjamin hasn’t done anything since 2004. The two continued to throw insults before Morrison walked away having got the upper hand.
After a promo for the Edge/Hardy Ladder match at Extreme Rules, Jeff comes to the ring and talks about why he chose that stipulation.
Jeff says that he feels comfortable in ladder matches and that almost 10 years ago Edge and Hardy took place in the first ever Tag Team Ladder match which changed their careers, and now they will end their rivalry in the same type of bout.
He wraps up the segment by saying at Extreme Rules he will scale the ladder, prove that winning the title last year was no fluke and do it once again.
As he exited Umaga made his way to the ring for the next match with a leather strap hung around his neck.
Match 3
Singles Match
Umaga
Vs.
John Morrison
Both Morrison and Umaga hit some big offence in the early stages of this match, but neither were able to get a clear upper hand. That was until the Samoan Bulldozer threw Morrison up in the air and then caught him with a Samoan Drop as fluidly as I’ve ever seen it done.
Umaga maintained his advantage with submission holds before knocking Morrison off the apron with a thrust kick and turning him inside out with a clothesline when he finally made it back into the ring. Morrison kept attempting to fight back into the match but couldn’t seem to do more than momentairly phase Umaga.
He eventually hit some big offence, landing a Chuck Kick but seconds later Umaga grabbed his leather strap and used it to great effect, losing the match but gaining the upper hand.
Just as Umaga had Morrison strapped up in the corner, C.M Punk hit the ring and drove his Extreme Rules opponent from the ring with the help of his Money in the Bank briefcase.
After the match Todd Grisham asks Punk what his strategy will be for the Samoan Strap match and he responds by saying he isn’t the type of person that strategises but he always finds a way to do things and at Extreme Rules he will find a way to drag the 300 lb monster around the ring and touch all 4 ring posts.
Not as bad as I thought it would be but nothing special either.
John Morrison wins by Disqualification.
Match 4
Tag Team Match
Cryme Tyme
Vs.
The Worlds Greatest Tag Team
Following Cryme Tyme’s appearance in Benjamin & Haas’ tag match on Superstars last night The Worlds Greatest Tag Team have requested this match tonight on Smackdown.
After a quick start from Cryme Tyme, Benjamin and Haas clicked into gear and began isolating JTG, hitting some perfectly executed offence while making sure he couldn’t bring in the fresh Shad Gaspard from the apron.
When JTG did eventually manage to tag in Shad he re-entered the match with real venom and took out both members of the opposition before things broke down into a four man brawl.
While Haas and JTG were incapacitated on the outside Shad looked to capitalise and pick up the win but Shelton managed to reverse a flapjack and land on his feet before striking with Paydirt to pick up a deserved victory.
The Worlds Greatest Tag Team win by Pinfall.
Match 5
Divas Match
Eve Torres
Vs.
Layla
Here comes another match in probably the dullest rivalry taking place in the WWE at the moment (it’s a close run thing between this and the Cena/Big Show snore-fest that continues to rumble on.)
Using the age old formula of ‘Diva Jealousy’ this rivalry has hit new heights in tedious segments and average matches, with this one fitting in perfectly with that pattern.
Eve won the match with a reverse cross-body that really summed up this rivalry; poorly executed. Hopefully that will be the end of it although I really doubt it will be.
Eve Torres wins by Pinfall.
Segment 3
Change to the scheduled main event
Backstage Jericho and Edge met up before the tag team main event. Edge told Jericho to follow his lead as he is the World Heavyweight Champion. Jericho says that he listens to no one and decides that he is ‘done’, telling Edge he can go it alone tonight.
Looks like we have a handicap match now.
Main Event Match
Tag Team 2 on 1 Handicap Match
Edge & Chris Jericho
Vs.
Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio
Before the match Edge says that Jeff has wasted an opportunity by picking the Ladder stipulation as he is the most successful Superstar in that type of match and although Jeff will impress in that environment, Edge will win.
Jericho’s music plays but sure enough he fails to show up. As Rey makes his entrance he walks over to the fans and does his usual thing of giving one of them his mask, as he continues to make his way to the ring another supposed fan grabs him and drills his head into the guard rail.
Seconds later the ‘crazed fan’ jumps the railing and reveals himself to be Chris Jericho. He continued the assault before trying to unmask Rey and was only prevented from doing so by the appearance of Jeff Hardy who ran down to make the save.
EMT’s tended to Mysterio as the show went to an ad break, when it returned the ring announcer informed everyone that Jeff had decided to go it alone in a 2 on 1 match.
Main Event Match (2)
2 on 1 Handicap Match
Edge & Chris Jericho
Vs.
Jeff Hardy
Edge and Jericho controlled the match as you would expect and every time Hardy managed to gain some offence there would be a tag that set him back to square one.
There was some miscommunication between Jericho and Edge which gave Hardy the chance to almost grab the win but he spent too long focussing on Jericho, leaving Edge to recover and hit a Spear which won the match.
After the bell Edge grabbed a ladder from under the ring and drulled Jeff, then trapped him inside it and slammed it down before posing as the show went off the air.
Edge & Chris Jericho win by Pinfall.
Maintenance Reminder
Just a little heads up that this will be the last ‘on time’ Rundown for a couple of weeks as I am going away on holiday. We have thoughtfully scheduled some ‘behind the scenes’ maintenance to take place while I am away so at least the time off will not be wasted.
Rest assured that the Rundowns will return and the ones I miss WILL get done when I get back, as will results for Extreme Rules.
Thank you for your patience and if you would like to be informed when we are back up and running you can either join the Facebook Group or sign up to our Newsletter!
