Daniel Bryan & Cody Rhodes & The Miz (PHOTOS)
MOHEGAN SUN Given an opportunity to prove to the WWE Board of Directors that he was the best man to be the general manager of both Raw and SmackDown, John Laurinaitis pulled out all the stops as Friday night's board-appointed GM. This included an explosive United States Steel Cage Title Match, a face-off between himself and Teddy Long with dire consequences and a main event six-man tag team showdown that resulted in all-out anarchy in the crowd.
Randy Orton & Sheamus & Big Show triumph in a Six-Man Tag Team Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In the critical final minutes of the six-man tag team main event, Big Show chased his WrestleMania adversary Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes to the back while Sheamus brought the fight outside the ring to his Showcase of the Immortals foe World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan. This left legal Superstars Randy Orton and The Miz inside the squared-circle to settle things. And after WWEs Apex Predator escaped the Skull Crushing Finale, he would ultimately rise above, executing the RKO on his outspoken opponent for the three-count.
As the smoke cleared, the monstrous Kane once again emerged to engage The Viper. Fueled by their combined fury, the battle between the two brutal forces of nature reached new heights, as they launched into an uncontrollable onslaught that quickly spread into the crowd.
Michael Cole conducted an exclusive interview with World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and Sheamus (WATCH) In a tension-filled interview with Michael Cole, Daniel Bryan insisted that his winning the World Title and the string of success he'd had since had nothing to do with luck. Instead, he credited the combination of his scientific in-ring ability, Vegan lifestyle, charisma and sex appeal.
While Sheamus conceded that he himself had experienced his share of the "Luck of the Irish," he went on to claim that his WrestleMania opponent had been hiding behind his girlfriend AJ. After entertaining the WWE Universe with a series of insults aimed at the submission specialist, The Great White assured Bryan that his luck would finally run out at The Show of Shows.
R-Truth & Kofi Kingston def. WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo in a Non-title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In spite of Epicos attempt to thwart his opponents momentum in the final seconds of the match and a distraction from the stunning Rosa Mendes, Kofi Kingston & R-Truth put on a high-octane display, culminating with Truths explosive Flatliner on Primo for the huge non-title victory over the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Teddy Long def. John Laurinaitis (WATCH | PHOTOS) One week after John Laurinaitis stunning announcement that he might put Theodore Longs girlfriend Aksana in a match against Kane (WATCH), the board-appointed SmackDown GM set up a match between himself and Teddy. He then added a special stipulation that if Mr. Long emerged triumphant, Aksana would have to face The Big Red Monster after all. (WATCH)
Once the bell rang in their match, Laurinaitis told Teddy to lay down. When his proud opponent refused, Mr. Excitement called Kane down to the ring. But, as The Devil's Favorite Demon was about to enter the squared circle, Randy Orton came from nowhere and hit the horrific Superstar with the RKO. As an exasperated Laurinaitis turned his attention to The Viper, Teddy seized the opening and rolled up his GM counterpart for the three-count.
Before the defeated Laurinaitis could follow through on his threat to have Aksana face Kane, Teddy and the beautiful Diva made their way out of the building.
Mark Henry def. Ezekiel Jackson (WATCH | PHOTOS) Fresh off being inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame this past Saturday (WATCH | PHOTOS), Mark Henry triumphed over The Personification of Domination Ezekiel Jackson with the Worlds Strongest Slam.
Drew McIntyre def. Hornswoggle (WATCH | PHOTOS) Though Theodore Long fired Drew McIntyre one week ago (WATCH), acting GM Laurinaitis gave him an opportunity to regain his job against a mystery opponent. While, at first, it looked like that competitor might be an emerging Great Khali, David Ortunga soon revealed that it was actually a very reluctant Hornswoggle.
In the one-sided carnage that followed, the referee had no choice but to stop the match, deciding that Swoggle could not continue. As a result, McIntyre earned his job back. However, the gigantic Khali offered his own version of congratulations to the newly-rehired grappler, delivering a powerful post-match Punjabi chop to Drew as he celebrated.
United States Champion Santino Marella def. Jack Swagger in a United States Championship Steel Cage Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In charge of SmackDown for the night and ready to make an impression out of the gate, board-appointed GM John Laurinaitis started Friday night off by having Santino put his newly-crowned United States Title on the line in a steel cage against the Superstar he won it from four days earlier, Jack Swagger.
After getting bit by the champions Cobra through the chain links, a meddling Dolph Ziggler was summarily ordered to leave ringside by the outside referee. Then, when Vickie Guerrero accidentally slammed the cage door on her All-American American clients head, Santino once again shocked the world, escaping the daunting structure to win his first title defense.
Psycho Sid Vicious no-showed the Pro Wrestling Syndicate show in Rahway, New Jersey last night where he was supposed to face Matt Hardy. It was announced earlier in the night that Sid never got on his plane and would not be appearing. The promoter of the show called Sid in the middle of the ring, on the loud speaker, and left him a voicemail so Sid could hear the fans booing him. The promoter then gave out Sid's personal phone number so they could personally call him.
Hardy went on to face Jay Lethal, who came out impersonating Sid and even cut a promo like him.
- Maryse Ouellet was critical of the WWE Divas division during a recent appearance on Running The Ropes. When asked how the division had changed since her debut with the company, she replied:
"You know it's changed from what it was in 2007 when I had 12 minute Pay Per View matches now to 30 second (matches). It's hard to make a crowd relate to you when you can't talk on the microphone, you have only a minute in the ring and you have 10 divas in the ring at the same time so you can't build a character and you can't make people relate. It's impossible to get over. I just wish the girls were given more time to work because there is potential but there's no time. They need to give them something so they (WWE) can receive something and If they don't, they will never get anything."
- Matt Hardy will be facing Sid Vicious at a Pro Wrestling Syndicate event tonight at the Rahway Rec Center in Rahway, NJ. Embedded in the video below, Hardy talks about the match.

WWE Monday Night Raw Supershow Boston, Massachusetts March 5, 2012 Commentators: Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole
Shawn Michaels music hits, and the Heart Break Kid makes his way down to the ring! Shawn jokes that the best part about the fans chanting his name is that it gives him a chance to catch his breath after coming down the ramp. He says that when he was on RAW a couple of weeks ago, things got heated between himself and HHH. Shawn really wanted HHH to face Taker and take down the streak. Shawn puts over the fact that HHH finally changed his mind. He is here tonight to find out why.
HHHs music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Shawn says that HHH is a man of conviction, honor and integrity. Shawn tried everything that he could to try and get HHH to accept the match against Taker, but HHH stood his ground and didnt waiver. Shawn even went as far as to call him a coward, but HHH wouldnt waiver. HBK compares him to an oak tree. Shawn wants to know what someone said, what someone has over him, which made him finally accept the match?
HHH starts to speak, but Michaels instead cuts him off and asks for the video truck to play the clip of HHH accepting the match.
Video Package: Taker/HHH on RAW 2 Weeks Ago
HHH says that his decision had nothing to do with whether or not Shawn is better than him. HHH is tired of listening to people talk behind his back saying that Shawn couldnt get the job done. HHH makes his case that he is eaten up by people that call HBK a failure. Hunter calls Shawn the greatest in ring performer of all time. That being said, its hard for HHH to view Shawn as a loser. Thats why he is going to face Taker. He is going to end the streak, end an era HHH is going to beat Taker not just for himself, but for Shawn as well.
Shawn says that he thought they had a problem, but obviously they dont. He sarcastically says that HHH has everything under control. Shawn says that it killed him to tell Hunter that he couldnt get it done last year. He watched as HHH dominated The Undertaker at WrestleMania, but then he lost. Shawn was right. Michaels says that he knows who is going to win at WrestleMania, and hell be right again this year. Shawn goes to leave, and then says that the reason he knows who is going to win, is because he has been made the special guest referee!

Diamond Dallas Page said during an interview with the Pro Wrestling Torch Livecast that the only wrestler he would come out of retirement to wrestle would be WWE Superstar Randy Orton. Otherwise, he has no interest in returning to the ring as he does not want to risk the quality of his life at the age of 55.
"That's the only match I would come out of retirement for. I would put my body on the line only to be able to show I could still go. I would take my body to the limits I never thought I could at this age only for that angle, but thats not going to happen because hes already beat up all the old men. The only thing I'll hook him with is hes killed all the legends but he aint killed me yet," says Page.
The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion considers The Viper the best worker in wrestling today and loves that his finishing maneuver, the RKO, is a variation of the Diamond Cutter. Pages credits John Laurinaitis with introducing him to the Diamond Cutter since the WWE executive was performing the Ace Crusher as his signature maneuver in Japan in the 1990s.
Page also gives his thoughts on John Cena vs. The Rock, his chances of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, Jake "The Snake" Roberts' influence on his career, Zack Ryder's character and push, if he stays in touch with Eric Bischoff and more. The audio interview is available here.

In response to rumors of backstage jealousy and resentment over Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stealing the spotlight at WrestleMania XXVIII, former WWE Superstar Carlito went on Twitter to defend The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment against "the boys."
"My opinion on The Rock is that everybody should be thankful that he's back. Did he come back to save his movie career? Of course, so what? The Rock saved 'Mania last year and this year too. Do any of u see any other wrestler right now that can sell out 'Mania?" he wrote.
"The "boys" should be happy that 'Mania will be a big success and fans shouldn't even really care as to why Rock is back."
