Ex-WWE star goes on major John Cena rant Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/16/2011 at 07:22 PM
Chavo Guerrero took John Cena's wrestling ability to task today on Twitter after the master of the Five Knuckle Shuffle declared earlier in the day that people will talk about his match with CM Punk tomorrow at Money in the Bank for years to come. He challenges the WWE Champion to think outside the box and not do the "BS lazy comeback" he does in "every match" because the fans deserve better. The third generation grappler also took a parting shot at The Miz during his near half-hour diatribe.
Guerrero wrote:
"Ok, don't 'Fin' say that people will talk about this for years if you're going to let Punk do all the work and not deliver at the PPV, Cena. I am tired and I know fans are tired of WWE Superstars talking big and not delivering. We don't want to see someone just in a fight. And frankly no one believes it anymore. If Miz can kick your ass then the clerk at the store can kick your ass, so please deliver if you say that..
People will remember this PPV. You know Punk will bring 'it'. I've been in the ring with both of you and Punk has 'it'. Cena you have mic skills yes but if you think people believe your BS lazy comeback that you do exactly the same every match then you are mistaken. Eddie and I taught you different. We never said 'get lazy' and do the damn thing every night. We always said 'think out of the box' and give the fans what they deserve and not rely on the 'machine' to 'get you over'.
I hope this lights a fire under your ass and you deliver this Sunday. Don't just rest on you being over cause you are and that is easy. Challenge yourself and give the fans what they deserve. That's why they boo you. Because they aren't stupid. They know what they pay for and the 'great' promo guy but the shitty 'match' guy that you have become is not what they want. I understand 'longevity' but at the sacrifice of the fans trust is not worth it. Deliver on your fans and deliver on why you got into this business. Eventually the fans that you have gained with from the purple t-shirts will turn on you. Take a lesson from the Hulkster. Give the fans there $ worth and don't become just another 'promo' guy. I know you love this biz and don't get distracted from the McMahon $. Deliver please!! Have enough respect for your fans because without them, you're working at a fast food chain.
Love you man and I support you and hope you see this because I know Punk will and I know he's going to bring it because he's got nothing to lose!"

Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson def. Ted DiBiase Cody Rhodes def. Daniel Bryan Sin Cara def. Sheamus Divas Champion Kelly Kelly def. Rosa Mendes Justin Gabriel def. Heath Slater Kane def. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton (Disqualification; Non-Title Match)
SmackDown results: Losing cool By: Mitch Passero July 15, 2011 Tags: SmackDown: July 15, 2011 UNCASVILLE, Connecticut With their Money in the Bank match looming, Christian did his best to get under the skin of World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton all night long. By the end of the main event, The Viper finally snapped.
Kane def. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton by Disqualification in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) A night of Christians taunting of Randy Orton culminated during the main event between Kane and Orton. When Christian came to ringside, Kane used the distraction to clothesline Orton out of the ring. The momentum also sent Kane careening onto the arena floor. But while Kane smartly climbed back into the ring, Orton decided to pursue Christian, which resulted in him getting doused with water by Christian and counted out of the bout.
Thats when the chaos began.
As a furious Orton chased Christian around and into the ring, The Viper found himself the victim of a vicious 2-on-1 assault at the hands of both Kane and Christian. But when Kane turned his attention to Christian, The Viper blasted Kane with an RKO. Then just seconds after, Christian charged and speared Orton. After pummeling Orton with blows, Christian armed himself with a steel chair. But before Christian could use the chair, Orton kicked Christian in the gut and wrested control of the chair. Then, seething with anger, Orton erupted and unloaded on Kane with multiple, brutal chair shots while Christian looked on.
After the display, can Orton possibly contain his temper and avoid being disqualified and losing his title at Money in the Bank? What surprises does Christian have left in store for Orton? The fate of the World Title will be determined this Sunday. (Preview)
Justin Gabriel def. Heath Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS) Together, Justin Gabriel and Health Slater were three-time WWE Tag Team Champions. And they worked together from the beginning of The Nexus to the end of The Corre. But thats all in the past, and Slater made that clear with his words before the match against his former ally. But in the end it was Gabriel who reigned supreme in a competitive bout, defeating Slater with an impressive 450 Splash.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly def. Rosa Mendes (WATCH | PHOTOS) After driving Rosa Mendes' head to the canvas, Kelly Kelly picked up the win. At Money in the Bank, Kelly Kelly puts her title on the line against Brie Bella. (Preview)
Big Show and Mark Henry faced off (WATCH | PHOTOS) With Big Show and Mark Henry prepared to face off, there was potential for chaos and SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long knew it. If there was any physicality between the two, Long would cancel their Money in the Bank match. As both behemoths traded emotional words, Big Show claimed his actions against Henry as of late have actually done him a favor by lighting a fire within him. Henrys take was that being stronger and meaner is better than being big. Who will prevail when the two finally collide in the ring at Money in the Bank? (Preview)
Sin Cara def. Sheamus (WATCH | PHOTOS) In their first match ever, Sin Cara stunned Sheamus by countering the Celtic Cross and rolling him up for a pinfall victory. With Sheamus frustrated by the loss, Wade Barrett leapt up from the announce table to gain a measure of retribution for Sheamus smashing him with a steel chair last week. After dropping Sheamus with a Brogue Kick, Barrett finished him off with Wasteland.
Cody Rhodes def. Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS) With no love lost between the two, Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan slugged it out in an evenly matched bout. While battling in the corner, Rhodes tossed Bryan to the side, causing him to land precariously with the top rope between his legs. Rhodes capitalized on the vulnerable position and dropped Bryan from the ropes with a well-targeted kick to the head, leading to a pinfall victory.
Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson def. Ted DiBiase (WATCH | PHOTOS) With Cody Rhodes preparing for his match with Bryan, Ted DiBiase was on his own against big Ezekiel Jackson. Despite an impressive effort from DiBiase, he was forced to submit to Jacksons punishing backbreaker. After the match, Rhodes warned DiBiase about the paper bag implications of losing another match in the future (WATCH).
Christian taunted World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton (PHOTOS) What started with Christian taunting Randy Orton with a picture of him with the World Title (WATCH) escalated as the night progressed. First, he vowed to find out who vandalized Randy Ortons tour bus (WATCH). Then, he lost a bunch of Ortons money at the roulette wheel (WATCH). Finally, he offered his thoughts on Orton in Thats What I Am
The following is an excerpt from a CM Punk interview with GQ.com...
GQ: Is that parallel to Austin why you wore a Stone Cold Steve Austin T-shirt when you were delivering that promo?
C.M. Punk: I do a lot of weird little things like that because people talk about it. I don't think it's any secret; I think the biggest match any wrestling company can do right now is C.M. Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. I've thought that since I was 15. I'm straight edge. I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I don't smoke. And that is the perfect protagonist or antagonist to Stone Cold Steve Austin, depending on how you want to spin it. It writes itself. You would have to try really, really hard to f*** that one up. The idea of being on television is to wear your T-shirt so people see it and maybe buy it. I had gone out previously in the night and wrestled. You throw your T-shirt on the ground, and I don't know what the hell happens to it after that. I came to the back, and I was looking for another T-shirt. I sent somebody to go and get one, and they came back with a XXL. I was like, "I'm going to be swimming in this thing." And it's always creepy when you're wearing wrestling trunks with a shirt because it doesn't look like you're wearing any pants. I had a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt in my bag, and it fit me. I chuckled to myself and put it on. Am I planting seeds? I don't know. I can't guarantee to anybody that that match is going to happen. Do I want it to happen? Absolutely.

Cabana Discusses MITB Success Because of CM Punk Posted by Steve Carrier on 07/15/2011 at 12:55 PM
- Colt Cabana was interviewed by Alex Marvez of Scripps News this week about WWE, CM Punk and more. Here are some highlights:
The CM Punk situation: "I am more interested as a fan to see what happens. There is so much buzz around this. Punk has caused a stir that hasn't happened in wrestling in a long time. I'm excited to see what goes down and, most importantly, watching my best friend in his last WWE match."
Being happy now without WWE: "I love where my career and life is at. Don't get me wrong: I'd love to be with WWE and working again with CM Punk. That would be amazing. But I've also seen so many guys get fired from WWE and then sit around waiting to get a call to come back that usually doesn't come. Their value drops until they have no following. I can't sit and wait. All the different projects I have make me creatively and monetarily happy."
The Money in the Bank aftermath: "If the buy rate for this show is high, it basically says CM Punk was responsible singlehandedly for making this kind of money. And it will be because of the stuff he said, that people want to see something different and have gotten on the bandwagon. If WWE realizes that maybe it is time for a change, the potential for that is there. Yes, inevitably this will all put a lot of money in McMahon's pocket. But it also puts a lot of power into the hands of CM Punk."
Immortal held a party for Mr. Anderson, who had on a nice camouflage tuxedo by the way. It was general ass kissing all around until the lights went out. Sting appeared in the ring at a poker table and asked Eric Bischoff if he wanted to bet who would walk out with the title tonight.
Sting did his Joker laugh and pointed out that he had friends tonight that would make sure Immortal didnt screw him. Four Doink the Clown look-alikes appeared in the rafters and Sting flipped the table and got out of the ring.
First Match
Bobby Roode defeated Samoa Joe and The Pope in a Bound For Glory Series match.
Second Match
Austin Aries defeated Shannon Moore.
Third Match
Tara defeated Madison Rayne.
Kurt Angle cut a promo about his No. 1 contender status, and his upcoming TNA Title match at Hardcore Justice. He said hes going to kick Andersons ass whether it is for the championship or not, and he hopes Sting wins so they can finish what they started in some previous match since he has never beaten Sting. He talked about the Main Event Mafia some as well.
Fourth Match
Mexican America defeated The British Invasion to become No. 1 contenders to the TNA Tag Titles.
Santino Marella dances his way to the ring as Scott Stanford and Josh Mathews welcome us to the show.
Zack Ryder, "the Self-Proclaimed Internet Champion," makes his way to the ring repping the LI. "Ryder 4 Champ"
Scott cites the last time these two met on Superstars, Santino's Cobra connected to Zack's "lower extremities" taking out his legs with a second one to the face picking up the victory.
Santino Marella vs. Zack Ryder
Act 1 The two lock up in the ring, Zack's power getting the better of Santino. The two make plays to the crowd to see who can get more adolation. Zack attempts an attack, but Santino hits a series of arm drags on Ryder. On the third attempt, Ryder nails a Clotheslne. He then takes Santino into the corner and gets some heat from the audience. Santino's momentary break allows him to knock Ryder from behind, he teases the WWE Universe by setting up for the Cobra. Ryder makes sure that doesn't happen and unsuccessfully pins Marella's shoulders to the mat for a two count! TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Act 2 Zack nails a nice Hangman's neckbreaker, connecting Santino's neck onto his shoulder. Another failed pin attempt. A "Let's go Ryder" chant starts as Zack pummels Santino into the corner and throws up the LI as he goes for the Broski Boot. His Facewash move fails to connect as Santino flees out of the corner. Marella hits his combo of punches, split, hip toss and running headbutt. He also fails to connect with a pinfall.
Act 3 Santino, oddly enough, goes to the "high rent district" and seems to question his decision by hesitating. He goes for the Diving Headbutt and misses! Ryder then nails the Rough Ryder leg lariat for the 1 - 2 - 3!
Winner: Zack Ryder by pinfall bringing this rivalry to 1-1.
Zack shouts to, "Follow [him] on Facebook! Follow [him] on Twitter!" WWWYKI!

Trent Beretta is already in the ring. Striker & Korpela pump up MitB PPV.
And once again we are greeted by Wade Barrett who is making his second appearance on Superstars in a row. (Another classic example of WWE pushing someone too quickly to the main event picture and then appearing to have less faith in them. Let's hope this is not a regular occurance. I'm willing to guess he's NOT winning the SD! MitB Ladder Match.)
Trent Beretta Vs. Wade Barrett
Act 1 Wade throws an elbow at Beretta, who ducks and gets a few shots in. Barrett covers up and shows Beretta's efforts were in vain as Trent takes to the ropes and is countered with his signature Spinning Side Slam. 1... 2 ... Kickout.
Barrett kicks Trent, who gets wrapped up in the ropes. Barrett connects with a series of knees and then boots Trent out of the ring. Wade meets him outside and slams him into the apron before throwing him back in the ring. Another failed pin attempt and Barrett hits a series of shots to Beretta's face.
Act 2 A few exchanges of punches and kicks end with Trent fighting out of the Pump Handle Slam and nailing an Enzuiguri! He follows it up with an elbow in the corner. Trent flies and connects with a Corkscrew Moonsault. Barrett recovers.
With Trent on the apron, Barrett goes for a spear. Beretta moves and locks his calves around the former Nexus leader's head...pulling him out of the ring. This time it is Trent tossing Barrett into the ring.
Act 3 Trent sets Barrett up for a slingshot maneuver and jumps off the ropes straight into a Wasteland. 1 - 2 - 3!
Winner: Wade Barrett by pinfall.

Otunga & McGuillicutty make their way to the ring. Is this the last Nexus entrance?
The Uso's prepare for battle with a Haka. It is a great way to pump people up, I must say.
Non-Title Match: WWE Tag Team Champions: New Nexus - Michael McGuillicutty & David Otunga Vs. Jimmy & Jey Uso
Act 1: Otunga and Jey start us off. Otunga gets the upper hand after the lock up. He goes for a shot to the gut and Uso blocks, engaging in an Underhook Suplex. The bridge fails to pick up the early win. Jimmy tags in and the brother hit a Double Team Elbow Drop on Otunga. Another failed pinfall.
Otunga hits a shot to the head of Jimmy and easily tags in McGuillicutty. The match quickly breaks down as the Uso's are both thrown out of the ring.

***********
Act 2: Upon return an Uso misses an elbow smash and crashes into the corner. McGuillicutty tags Otunga back into the match and keeps Uso in the corner as they double team Jey.
Otunga hits a shot to the back of Jey and fails another pin attempt. He follows up with a headlock. Jey fights out with a Jawbreaker. McGuillicutty grabs the blind tag and nails Jimmy out of the corner before Jey can get the tag he desperately needed.
McGuillicutty chokes Jey against the ropes with his knee as the New Nexus dissects the brother. Michael tags in Otunga again, who forces Jey into the corner. McGuillicutty connects with an elbow smash and David with a Clothesline! Jey tumbles to the mat and barely kicks out of another pin.
Act 3: Otunga uses a Cobra Clutch variation with his knee in Jey's back. Jey fights out and Otunga retaliates only to be sunk with a Samoan Drop! Jimmy has since hyped up the crowd and Jey gets the hot tag! Taking to the ropes, Jimmy takes the advantage with two Clotheslines and a spinning forearm smash! He sets up in the opposite corner and nails a Rikishi butt bump whiplashing Michael's head back into the turnbuckle. He goes for the cover. 1 - 2 -
Otunga makes the save, only to be met by a Superkick from Jey Uso! Michael goes after Jey, who tosses Mike into a Superkick from Jimmy! Jimmy then gets the tag and sets McGuillicutty up for the finish...
Another tag and the Uso pays amage to Mr. Snuka with a Superfly Splash! 1 - 2 - 3!
Winner: Jimmy & Jey Uso by pinfall.

Maryse Vs. Beth Phoenix
Act 1 Maryse begins by whipping her ring jacket at Beth. Beth retaliates with an Atomic Drop, an axe smash and locking her into an AIRPLANE SPIN! The dizzy Maryse is clotheslined for a failed pin.
Act 2 Maryse counters Beth off the ropes with a chop block to the knee and a shot to the head. 1 - 2 - Kickout. The two time Diva's Champion pulls Beth's hair and slams her head into the turnbuckle upon letting up multiple times. She then hits a running knee to the face of Beth. Some pound and ground by the French-Canadian beauty before she steals Beth's head band and mocks her with the Glamazon taunt.
Act 3 Beth must fight out of the chinlock, she brings Maryse up on her shoulders. Maryse gets down and wails as she slaps Phoenix. Beth drives her into the corner and hits a Slingshot Suplex. They take to the ropes again and Maryse counters with a Superkick to the back of Beth's head. 1 - 2 -
Beth powers out, knocked a little silly. Maryse has the upper hand as she tries to bring Beth to her feet. Beth tries to lock Maryse's arms, she gets out.
Maryse's offense is then countered by Beth, she locks her arms and hoists her into the air for the Glam Slam!
- As noted before, The Rock said in his most recent video that he's looking forward to confronting John Cena in a city where the fans chanted his name for the first time, and implied that he may meet Cena on an upcoming WWE pay-per-view. There's speculation that The Rock was referring to New York City's Madison Square Garden, which will host WWE's Survivor Series in November of this year.

John Cena responds to Rock's latest video Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/13/2011 at 04:26 PM
John Cena responded to The Rock's latest video (Click here to watch) with the following:
"CeNation. Just saw Dwayne's statement. Via satellite of course. Sad, really. It was like an episode of mad money. I wonder if GLAAD will be offended by Dwayne's comments. Either way..looks like I have really made him mad. But, certainly not mad enough to show up and do anything. Maybe he can send a stuntman. Dwayne. I am a WWE employee, and a proud one. The difference between us is you left for 'greener pastures'. For me...this is what I love. I have never begged for anyones admiration or acceptance, u don't believe me..watch MITB. Its not about that. Its about showing up. Id rather wrestle a thousand 'punks' than one 'rock'. Because I can see his passion. Wish I could see yours...yer just never there. :) Until april 1st. Keep on bringing it my man. You're doing great. Your friend John Cena"
- Drew McIntyre got up and walked away on his own after taking the nasty fall with Big Show and Mark Henry off the stage on last night's RAW. While Show and Henry fell on the protected area, Drew apparently fell to the concrete and hit a lighting stand on the way down.
