Lordy, that was a lot of blood. Thank you, Bryan and Page, for doin that, but whew was it wild! They wasted NO time here, going straight for the kill, and why wouldn’t they considering their last match and the heat between the two. I loved it. I prefer the classic a few weeks ago, but this was a solid follow up, gave Page a clean win, a hell of a defense, and should hopefully solidify his reign.

Total Rating: NR
Match Time: MJF in the sack

Punk grabs a mic, says this happens every single time MJF has a match until MJF has a match with Punk.

MJF says it’s bad enough he’s in Jersey, but Punk calls him a loser. He says it’s going to be real hard to fight for a title if he keeps losing. MJF says Punk enduces boredom.

STFU chant.

He tells Punk that he came out last week, said he was done, and now look at him, right back where he started. Why? He may have the crowd convinced, but MJF knows the truth – without him, Punk is nothing. He gives Punk an edge, makes him relevant. For Punk to come out here and claim that he’s a waste of money, when Punk sold Khan and these people a bill of goods. He’s not the savior anymore, but MJF is.

He wonders if PG Punk thinks HE is Roddy Piper? Piper was talented enough to main event a Wrestlemania. The crowd cheers for him, so he tells them he has the mic, so shut up. Awesome. He then says if he aint shown the proper respect around here, maybe he’ll Main Event a Mania, too.

Punk laughs his ass off in the ring. He says all he is trying to do is kick MJF’s ass. He’ll do it right now if he’ll shut up. MJF ran from him, hid behind FTR, all he wants to do is give MJF the beating he deserves, and if he thinks the grass is greener on the other side, go ahead and leave, main event buy one get one free four night extravaganza, get released faster than he does in the sack, and Punk will still be here waiting for his ass.

MJF fakes giving him the match then says next week, it’ll be CM Punk vs Wardlow.

The difference between Punk, Piper, and a worm like MJF is that he and Piper will fight anyone any time. Eventually, MJF will run out of people to hide behind and he will put MJF to sleep.

Jericho is here after the break! He says hello and calls tonight historical. He says he hasn’t been on tbs since WCW Thunder, losing to Booker T. He thinks Booker cheated. It’s great to be back here and anywhere after those 2point0 jackoffs hit him in the face with a chair and really really put him down. Last week, he didn’t come out to save Kinston, he came out to get some revenge on the dipshits, bay bay.

Speaking of dipshits, here they are!

Welcome back, says Lee. Jericho introduces Terrence and Phillip.

Real funny guy, ey Jericho? Remember the last time they ran into each other, Lee says? He gave Jericho a taste of a steel chair.

Jeircho didn’t like the taste, but he’s said this before – he cant stop looking at Lee’s square head. It looks like a post-it note. It’s a waffle. He asks for crowd participation.

Parker tells Jericho to shut his mouth. He calls Parker a pinhead. He then gets alternating Square Head and Pinhead chants.

2point0 defends themselves as Jericho leaves the ring and grabs the bat. He wants to knock their heads off. In comes Garcia from behind, gets hit with a bat, Lee and Parker attack Jericho, but here comes Santana, Ortiz, and Kingston. They run down the ramp and send the others leaving the ring.

Backstage, the former Seamus of Harry Potter is with Cole and Fish.

Cole says he knows that KOR didn’t mean to kick him in the face. But what wasn’t an accident? The Bucks coming down to assure victory. He calls them and The Bucks a supergroup. Speaking of exciting times, Jake Atlas – newly signed, how about thy go at it on Friday. He wants to send Atlas back to Orlando, because it’s a good new year, but the same Adam Cole. KOR calls Brandon Landon, telling him to cut it.

Before the match officially starts, Zambrano leaves the ring. Spears runs at him and hits a C4 on the outside, then rolls him inside.


Match 3: Wardlow vs Antonio Zambrano

Wardlow sees the guy, smirks, hits a powerbomb. Another. A third. A fourth. A fifth! Cover. 1..2…3!!!!

Winner: Wardlow

Total Rating: NR

They started off well enough, but the exhaustion got to Jade a bit, and her sloppiness started to show, all the way to the end. Congrats on the win, but we’ve got some work to do.

Winners: Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy
While we don’t have confirmation so early, it’s quite possible that Rey Fenix is injured, yet again, and this is why they wnet with the rollup finish. Because of that, I’ll go a little easy on the critique. This was a match that had a lot going for it when they left their foot off the brakes, but slowed down a bit too much for the contrived spots. Obviously, with these four, we knew that going in, but sometimes it can be a little too much, and I think tonight was one of those. Minor quibble, however, because the emotion was there, even if deflated by the end.
Total Rating: ***
Match Time: 14:35
