We open with a video package looking at the history of Beer Money leading into last weeks shocking and completely nonsensical heel turn when Bobby Roode hit his now former best friend James Storm with a beer bottle and defeated him to win the World Title.
We then go to the arena as the new champion comes to the ring to address the fans for the first time as the World Champion. He is annoyed at the fans for booing him, but then reasons that they were actually chanting Roode, which is what those morons were doing last week when they cheered him in his match with James Storm. This is a generation of selfishness, and he is the leader of the New Generation. Come on, dont call it that! Well turn around and see TL Hopper and Kwang come running out. He says doing the right thing gets you nowhere, and last week he ate James Storm for lunch and the stupid son of a bitch (Roodes words) never saw it coming. We see Storm watching backstage on a monitor and being held back by security as the crowd chants Cowboy, but Roode continues and says that after 13 hard years, opportunities like Bound For Glory and last week only come along every so often, so he made the most of it. Storm knocks out a security guard and comes out from the back, but is stopped on the ramp by security, who quickly tears through all of them and rushes the ring as Roode heads for the hills. Sting comes out of the back and cuts off Roode on his way to the back, telling him that if he needs to look out for himself, Sting would rather take the high road, so hes going to make a rematch tonight and Roode will have to defend against Storm, and as Storm would say, Sting is sorry about his damn luck. Roode is livid as Storm death stares him from the ring.
Speaking of former Fortune members fighting each other, AJ Styles wrestles Christopher Daniels, Ronnie from the Jersey Shore teams with Eric Young against Robbie E and Rob Terry, and Gail Kim & Madison Rayne defend the Knockouts Tag Team Title against Velvet Sky & Mickie James.
Speaking of Young and Ronnie, theyre backstage, and theyre WALKING!
Speaking of backstage, Dixie Carter is walking around talking with the CEO of Bellator Fighting Championships, the newest addition to the SpikeTV family, then we go to a video package hyping the upcoming Crimson vs Matt Morgan match at Turning Point.
Time to head to the ring for our opening match!
The Pope vs Crimson
They tie up and Pope chain wrestles his way around Crimson, but Crimson takes him down with a shoulderblock. Pope responds with a kick to the gut and a DDT for 1, then comes off the second rope with a fistdrop for 2. Crimson catches Pope in a three quarter nelson and rams knees to his skull, but Pope reverses out and knocks Crimson on his back with an uppercut. Pope comes off the ropes, but Crimson counters to the Red Sky for 3.
Winner: Crimson

Time for the match weve all been waiting for!
Gunner vs Garett Bischoff
Gunner tells Garett that hes messed with the wrong group of guys, but Garett doesnt look intimidated. His old man, by the way, is smiling ear to ear until Garett catches Gunner with a pretty nice armdrag. Gunner takes a charge, so Garett gets another armdrag, a hiptoss, and a backdrop. Gunner bails out to the floor to take a break as Flair jumps into the ring and shoves the referee out of the way, and Garett bails out to the floor as the bell rings.

Robbie E and Rob Terry are trying to get into Ronnies locker room, but security blocks them as Young and Ronnie open the door and start a shoving match.
Someone I dont recognize walks into James Storms locker room,and hes out on the floor and covered with blood. The guy who came in calls for a trainer and wakes up Storm, who has a pool of blood forming under his head, as the trainer comes in to attend to him.
Zima Ion vs Jesse Sorensen
Sorensen comes out with a football and signs it and then hands it to a kid at ringside on his way to the ring. Hey, if Bret Hart can gladhand by handing out sunglasses, nothing wrong with a football! Sorensen hits a series of armdrags and baseball slides between Ions legs and hits a dropkick. Ion rolls out to the floor, but Sorensen is relentless and hits a crossbody over the top rope. They head back into the ring where Ion catches him with a twisting crossbody out of the corner and a belly to back suplex into a facebuster, but Ion misses an attempted 450 splash and Sorensen rolls the dice for the win.
Winner: Jesse Sorensen
Kid Kash comes out putting Sorensen over and says hes so impressive, but hes been in the business 10 days and walks around his ring thinking he owns the place. Kash has 20 years in the business and hes done it all, and took everything he ever got because nobody gave him anything. But now, hell give him something: at Turning Point, Sorensen gets a shot at the X Division Title in a three way that includes both Kash and Austin Aries. The contract is only missing one signature, so he shoves the contract into Sorensens hands and tells him to sign it. Sorensen signs the contract, and Kash tells him he made the biggest mistake of his life, and also says that his mother is very proud of him and to tell her he said thank you. Sorensen decks Kash and goes to town on him, but Austin Aries runs in and nails Sorensen with the belt, then throws him to Kash, who DRILLS him with Money Maker.
We go to the Knockouts locker room where Karen tells Gail and Madison how awesome they are and how Gail will take the belt from Velvet at Turning Point, then verbally abuses Traci Brooks for kicks.
Knockouts Tag Team Title Match: Gail Kim & Madison Rayne vs Velvet Sky & Mickie James
Velvet spears Madison Rayne right off the bat and beats her senseless, but Gail sneaks in and blindsides Velvet with a right hand. Mickie makes a blind tag and takes Madison out with a baseball slides and punches Gail off the apron for good measure. Mickie goes up top, but Gail shoves her off the corner and then tags in to hit a double team on Mickie. Gail with a HUGE leaping clothesline in the corner and then mouths off to Velvet before flattening Mickie with a short clothesline. Mickie tries to fight free, but Gail takes her down with a hair yank and goes for another short clothesline, but Mickie ducks and gets a neckbreaker and makes the hot tag to Velvet, who comes in and cleans house on Gail. Velvet with a running bulldog and a weird twisty neckbreaker for 2, then Mickie comes in and takes Madison out with a top rope Thesz Press. Velvet gets a double underhook and hits the Pedigree, but Karen Jarrett distracts her just long enough for Gail to come in and hit Sole Food for the win.
Winners: Gail Kim & Madison Rayne
James Storm is backstage getting checked out by the trainer, who doesnt want to let him wrestle tonight. Storm insists hes fine, but Sting wont let him go so Storm tries to get up and falls right back down. Storm still insists hes fine, but Sting asks him if he knows what city hes in, and Storm is unable to answer.
One short video package detailing the history of what were forced to watch next, were back to the ring for
Robbie E & Robbie T vs Eric Young & Ronnie
Ronnie comes out in a t-shirt and jeans (aka the New Jersey tuxedo), and actually starts the match with Robbie E, who tags out to Robbie T before even making contact. Young tags himself in and bounces off Rob Terry, so he ties up with the referee instead, taking him to the corner and breaking clean. Young dropkicks Terry into the corner and goes for the ten punches, then bites Terry on the forehead before coming off the ropes and getting backdropped so far into the air that he lands in a sitting position. Now Robbie E comes in and goes to work on Eric Young while mocking Ronnie out on the apron, and the Robbie Twins double team Young until Young dodges a corner charge and give Robbie E a belly to belly suplex and makes the hot tag to Ronnie, who comes in and hits a clothesline and a bodyslam. Ronnie tears his shirt off as Young takes his pants off to reveal leopard print underwear and hits a top rope elbow. Ronnie follows with a big splash and pins Robbie E to become the second non-wrestler to win a match tonight.

HLN.be ging naar de catch in Vorst Nationaal: entertainment van de bovenste plank
Ted DiBiase en Randy Orton vieren hun overwinning, Wade Barrett en Cody Rhodes druipen af.
Clothesline! Dropkick! Bodyslam! De professionele worstelaars van World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) kwamen gisteren naar Vorst Nationaal, en wij gingen kijken of het spektakel in het echt even grandioos oogt als op tv.
De Big Show is een imposante verschijning.
Mark Henry is niet minder indrukwekkend.
Sheamus deelde na zijn wedstrijd gretig handtekeningen uit.
Natalya houdt Alicia Fox in een greep.
Randy Orton werd getrakteerd op een oorverdovende verwelkoming. (archiefoto's)
We zullen al maar meteen bekennen: we zijn fan. Geen devote fan, maar toch: de voorbije twintig jaar zijn er meerdere periodes geweest waarin we elke week keken naar de kunstjes van de artiesten van de ring. Eerst als kind, toen Hulk Hogan nog geen realityshow had maar nog gewoon de Hulk was en T-shirts verscheurde. Toen The Undertaker begon door te breken, en zijn verslagen tegenstanders in bodybags afvoerde. Toen The Million Dollar Man zijn chippendalesbroek nog met een flinke ruk uitspeelde, en aan zijn bevallige assistente Sherry gaf.
Sinds eind jaren 80 is het showworstelen flink veranderd. De met overgewicht kampende bonken maakten steeds vaker plaats voor proper onthaarde hengsten, en de lompe krachtpatserij met veel grondwerk werd uitgebreid met meer spectaculaire moves met flitsend kunst- en vliegwerk. De verhaallijnen en intriges werden belangrijker dan wat er zich in de ring afspeelt, en ook humor won aan belang. In ons land zendt momenteel de Franstalige commerciële zender AB3 de catch uit, voorzien van enthousiaste commentatoren met wie je in goed gezelschap lekker samen "simplement deux!" kan roepen wanneer een gepinde tegenstander nét niet uitgeteld wordt.
De E van entertainment De grootste sterren maken deel uit van de voormalige World Wrestling Federation (WWF), die het in de jaren 90 flink moeilijk kreeg na schandalen rond anabole steroïden. Onder druk van natuurorganisatie WWF veranderde de naam in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), wat onlangs gewoon WWE werd. De E maakt wel duidelijk dat het gaan om entertainment, iets waar ooit wel heel geheimzinnig over werd gedaan. "Ge weet toch dat dat niet echt is?", was dan ook steeds opnieuw het commentaar van vader wanneer hij langs de tv wandelde terwijl er enkele volwassen mannen in spandex aan elkaars ledematen lagen te trekken. Het is gemakkelijk om de catch af te doen als hersenloos entertainment, maar wanneer het spannend was, bleef hij toch geregeld meekijken. En maar lachen.
En daar draait het uiteindelijk om: je amuseren. Een batterij scenarioschrijvers verzint voor elke worstelaar een rol en een verhaallijn, waardoor je telkens gevechten krijgt van de 'goede' tegen de 'slechte'. In Vorst Nationaal was dat niet anders, en de 8.000 toeschouwers wisselden aanmoedigingen gretig af met luid boegeroep. De omwonenden dachten vast dat er een kudde schizofrenen was neergestreken in de zaal. Dat gaat dus zo: de erg populaire Big Show geeft zijn tegenstander Mark Henry, die momenteel helemaal niet geliefd is, een mep. Een voltallig Vorst Nationaal roept "Yay!". Vervolgens mept Henry terug, wat gevolgd wordt door een massale "Boeh!". En opnieuw. En nog eens. Hilarisch, en we zaten zowaar nog mee te roepen ook.
Mindere goden Zo meeroepen doe je natuurlijk niet meteen. Voor de grote sterren aantraden, moesten enkele mindere goden het publiek opwarmen, met wisselend succes. Wanneer de sterren elkaar alle hoeken van de ring laten zien, lijkt dat immers gemakkelijk, maar pas bij de matchen van de iets minder ervaren worstelaars zie je hoe moeilijk het is om dergelijke showgevechten geloofwaardig uit te voeren. Wanneer je al van in de nok van de zaal ziet dat een slag de tegenstander amper aait, is dat niet erg opwindend. Nee, supersterren als Randy Orton en Sheamus beheersen de kunst van op de mat te stampen terwijl ze de tegenstander een pets geven veel beter. Het oor wil ook wat.
De supersterren zijn dan ook enorm populair. Het gegil dat de entree van Randy Orton uitlokte, deed bijna pijn aan onze oren, al lag dat vooral aan de kinderen die achter ons de longen uit hun jonge lijf schreeuwden. Er waren erg veel kinderen in de zaal, vergezeld van hun ouders of alleen de papa. Ook opvallend veel jonge koppels, eigenlijk helemaal niet het clichépubliek van de stoere volwassen man dat we hadden verwacht. Maar die gaat waarschijnlijk kijken naar de 'mixed martial arts' (MMA), het (kooi)vechten waar de slagen wél aankomen.
Show WWE daarentegen is show, en dat kreeg het publiek in Vorst in overvloed. De Canadees Christian kwam met een nekverband naar de ring gesukkeld, waar hij zijn beklag kwam doen over de Big Show die hem vorige week een "chokeslam had toegediend zonder enige reden". Gejuich. "Vertel me nu niet dat jullie blij zijn dat de Bigshow mij een chokeslam heeft gelapt?", ging Christian verder. Nog meer gejuich. Waarna de 'boze' Canadees zei dat hij het ging afbollen zodat hij het Brusselse publiek nooit meer hoefde te zien. Enter Sheamus, de rosse Ierse spierbundel die de voorbije jaren fors is opgeklommen op de WWE-ladder. Die pikte het natuurlijk niet dat Christian de fans zo beledigde, en holde achter zijn vluchtende collega aan. Pure slapstick, en de hilariteit werd er er niet minder op toen Sheamus het nekverband afrukte en Christian erachter liet lopen zoals bij het stierenvechten. En het publiek maar 'olé' roepen. Belachelijk, zegt u? Natuurlijk, maar voor dat soort ongein kwamen we ook.
Zoals voor het theater van Cody Rhodes, die zowaar in het Nederlands "Ik been de beste" kwam zeggen - ja meneer De Wever, er wordt nog Nederlands gesproken in Brussel. "Ik verrwdien jullie respect!", ging Rhodes verder, waarna hij dat uiteraard niet echt kreeg van de joelende zaal. "I suck?", vroeg ie vervolgens, waarna er een "fuck you!" door Vorst Nationaal galmde. Voor subtiliteit moet je natuurlijk ergens anders zijn. Rhodes' tagteammatch met collega-etter Wade Barrett tegen Randy Orton en Ted DiBiase, de zoon van The Million Dollar Man, was het hoogtepunt van de avond, met vier toppers in de ring. Bodyslams en 'signature moves' werden supervloeiend uitgevoerd, en natuurlijk waren er ook de typische 'crowd pleasers', zoals een tegenstander in een hoek tien slagen uitdelen terwijl de toeschouwers tellen.
Valsspeler Het publiek werd ook nog vergast op een wedstrijd tussen twee vrouwen - diva's in het jargon. De ultraspannende broeken en heupwiegende pasjes maakten de avond ook voor de papa's die met tegenzin waren meegekomen geslaagd. De kolossale Big Show schudde ook eens met zijn achterste toen hij de ring betrad voor de laatste wedstrijd van de avond, tegen huidig wereldkampioen bij de zwaargewichten Mark Henry. Allebei een kilo of 200, en dus ook niet meteen de snelsten van de klas. Het publiek vond het echter allemaal geweldig, hoewel de wedstrijd eindigde met een absolute anticlimax. Henry, die dreigde te verliezen en dus zijn titel kwijt te spelen, gaf zijn tegenstander een mep met een stoel. Diskwalificatie dus, en titel behouden. Het is een bekend trucje, wat uiteraard een oorverdovend gejoel uitlokte. Vervolgens kwamen Wade Barrett en Cody Rhodes aangehold om de Big Show nog wat slaag te verkopen, uiteraard gevolgd door twee redders - Randy Orton en Sheamus - die de arme reus kwam verlossen van zijn belagers. Tot grote vreugde van de schreeuwende kinderen achter ons. Heel even kregen we zin om te vragen of ze wel wisten dat het allemaal niet echt is.
Uiteindelijk hebben we ons prima geamuseerd, ook zonder het leutige tv-commentaar en de flitsende projecties die je ziet in de grote Amerikaanse arena's. De actie in de ring was zelfs bovenaan in de zaal erg goed te volgen, en wie weet gaan we de volgende keer gewoon opnieuw. (sam)

Update on Evan Bourne's suspension from WWE Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/09/2011 at 09:27 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
Dave Meltzer reports that there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Evan Bournes suspension. Bourne was suspended for smoking synthetic marijuana, believed to be Spice. Word is that Bourne used it at a party with other WWE talents and that one or more wrestlers above Bourne on the roster were using it.
Talk among the wrestlers has to do with the idea that a mid-carder like Bourne would get suspended for doing the same thing that a main eventer does and doesnt get suspended.
Christian has left WWEs ongoing European tour after suffering an injury at Wednesdays SmackDown live event in Brussels, Belgium.
He is believed to have either sprained or broken his ankle.
According to multiple live accounts, Christian suffered the injury within the first few minutes of a match against Sheamus. The match ended abruptly with Sheamus reigning victorious via Brogue Kick. He was then assisted to the backstage area by personnel and was unable to put weight on his ankle.
