Surest sign Bond Month is over: Spike is showing Godfather tonight!

TV PG LV cc entertainment open

Rene Dupree (Paris, France, 270 pounds, w/flag) vs Viscera (Harlem, NY, 487 pounds) - your hosts are Todd and the Coach. Todd: "Just when you thought the card couldn't get any better, it got better!" I guess 'you' must be a moron then. Coach: "Some things in life are unexplainable." We are told Viscera is undefeated since changing gimmicks, and Rene hasn't lost a match since coming back over to RAW (though Coach points out beating Val ain't all that.) You know, I don't think I could possibly have less interest in a match. I'll tell you if anything neat happens here. Coach makes fun of the pajamas. Your ref is Choida, by the way. Viscera "runs" into the post with his shoulder to provide the body part. Oh, wait, never mind, Dupree's going to shove down Choida until he DQed. There is it. (DQ 3:25) Why do this match? It's guaranteed to suck, and they're unwilling to give a finish? Filler.

Tonight: the Hurricane & Rosey vs the Heart Throbs. yay.

WWE Rewind, sponsored by DB2: Tatanka. So who else is from Pittsburgh? There's a sick sick part of me who thinks Shane Douglas showing up would be great, but only for a split second before we all would remember he's Shane Douglas. Many it's okay for two seconds if someone gets him to wear the Dean Douglas outfit. I'm thinking Bruno is too old. Zybsko? He'd spend all three minutes stalling. This is gonna kill me on Monday. Or I'll just do something else and completely forget about it. Either way.

Johnny Parsi (Long Island, NY, 230 pounds, w/no entrance video) vs Matt Striker (New York City, NY, 237 pounds) - I wonder if he knows Vito. They're from the same area. Wait, why is Striker here? Why is he getting second entrance? Not good. Akio should've gotten a teaching job. There's a promo where Striker says the same generic things as always. The redeeming part him being RAW was hearing JR try to sell him as a face and hate it each step of the way. I have only slightly more interest in this match than the last. Todd says both guys here have been signed. Striker with a headlock. Shot off, they're doing the bit where they both go off the ropes opposite ways and keep passing each other by, and then Parsi keeps on running and stops for a front facelock. Way not to pay of that . Striker shoots him off, shoulderblock. Parsi kicks him away. Parsi's punch is turned into a backslide one two no. Your ref is Jack, I think. I don't know Jack. Parsi with an armdrag, armbar. Parsi back up to his feet. Armbar. Swinger uses the ropes to spin out, but ends up flapjacked on to the rope. Parsi clothesline. Stomps. Choke around the ropes. Striker punching his way up. Parsi knees him in the midsection. Camel clutch Russian legsweep one two no. Elbow drop. One two no. Chinlock Coach says HBK/Hogan match is the biggest since Rock/Hogan. Striker elbows out, and gets a swinging neckbreaker. Coach: "Who wouldn't be on the side of a school teacher?" Apparently they weren't on the side of Maven! I bet he's getting his teaching job back right now so he can lose it. Striker covers, one two no. Parsi's punch is blocked, Swinger with a kneeling reverse neckbreaker. Dropkick. Stupid Charlie Haas pumped up. Striker with a monkey flip. Slam. Off the ropes, splash onto Parsi's knees. Parsi goes to pick him up, gets small packaged one two no. Parsi with a headlock, shot off into the corner. Striker with corner punches one two three shoved off, Parsi pins him with feet on the ropes, one two NO. Parsi argues the count, Striker gets a one two no. Parsi with a headbutt to the midsection, whip, Striker slides under, rebound waistlock rollup with bridge one two three. (3:59)

Next: Matt Hardy

SS: 2 Weeks Away
SS: "Get it Poppin'" by Fat Joe. Why does each brand have their own song?

How much of the Matt Hardy speech do we get? Probably more than we got of the Vince speech, huh. I love Matt. This was not his best moment. This was also like the least impressive way possible to do this moment. We're getting the whole speech; I was thinking they might've bWo'd it. This is going to be disappointing when no one dies. (12:45)
SS: Edge vs Matt Hardy

WWE Slam Of The Week, sponsored by Juicy Drop Pop: HBK's parody. Huh, this is the one that cut. I guess you can't make a wrong decision! I'm not sure he went to the brother joke enough.

Tyson Tomko (Jacksonville, FL, 285 pounds) vs Vic Devine (Hartford, CT, 220 pounds, already in the ring) - Your ref is Chad. Coach: "What has Hulk Hogan ever really done? Nothing!" Circle. Lockup. Vic with an armbar, Tyson stops that with a knee to the back. Forearm drops him. Stomp. Off the ropes, elbow drop. Picking him up to slap him. Short clothesline is ducked, and Vic's punching. Tyson's had enough of that - big spinebuster. Tyson on Vic's back and crossfacing him. Stomp. Knees to the head. Choke over the ropes. Press, into a fallaway slam. Call me crazy, but I might actually miss Tyson when he's gone. Four more weeks of squashes will probably change my mind. Tyson charges the corner, eats boots. Vic tries the same thing again, and Tyson nearly cuts his leg off with a forearm smash. Vic is screaming in pain, grabbing his right knee. Hey, Chad, either stop it or let Tyson beat him? Tyson telling Chad to get Vic up. Tyson setting up for it. Running boot to the head midsection - uh, maybe I won't totally miss him. One two three (2:57) Tyson has words for Chad about his refereeing there.

Who's off worse? Casino Cinema for having Rob Schiender, or Rob Schiender for being on Casino Cinema? RAW.

Your hosts talk about something or other. I dunno. I went deaf for a second there.
RAW: Why doesn't Eric just strip Cena of the title? I'm sure this was explained somewhere and the truth is we've done this bit too many times over the last ten years for me to care anymore. (2:08)
SS: John Cena vs Chris Jericho [WWE]
Next: the Hurricane & Rosey vs the Heart Throbs.
Backstage, Victoria is congratulating Stacy on being on the cover of Edge magazine. Lita's gonna be soooo jealous. (Alternative joke: First a cola, now this? He's diversified.) Victoria wants an autograph? Upon receiving it, Victoria throws down the magazine. Victoria: "What makes you think I want your autograph?" Someone's off her medication! We instantly we turn this into a jealousy thing, because that's what women do. Stacy goes for pacifism, while Victoria goes for bleeped insult.

the Heat Throbs (Panama City, FL, 445 pounds) vs World Tag Team Champions the Hurricane and Rosey (590 pounds, w/Super Stacy) in a non-title match - No hats? NO HATS. Coach: "I think they need some girls." For the entrance, that's what he means. Your ring announcer is Justin Roberts, once again. Coach does not want Super Stacy's autograph! Hurricane opted for green! Rosey is wearing blue! Team unity is wrecked for this team. Antonio's rock beats Romeo's scissors. They turn their mean faces on. Gonna ring the bell here? [ding ding ding] Thanks. Hurricane in for the champs. Lockup, Antonio with a headlock, shot off, back with a shoulderblock. Todd says the Throbs will get a title shot if they win this match. Antonio off the ropes, over, stunned by the Hurripose. Antonio charges right into an armdrag. Twist. knee stops that. Hurricane forced into the HT corner, and Romeo's tagged in. Hurricane ducks under the clothesline, and armdrags Romeo. Armdrag, armbar. Twist, tag to Romero. Whip, Hurricane drop toe hold, Romeo falling headbutt. One two NO. Rosey with an armbar. Crank. Romeo wants the tag but gets pulled short. Rosey with a wristlock. Romeo trying to fight free, but he gets a knee. Whip, shoulderblock. Rosey yelling for the crowd. Off the ropes, Antonio gets in a knee from the apron. Rosey's more annoyed than hurt, and knocks Antonio down (but still on the apron.) Slam for Romeo, off the ropes, elbow drop but no one's home. Romeo quickly tags out to Antonio, who stomps Rosey. Springboard stomp to Rosey's back, and again, and again. Tag to Romeo. Double corner whip, Rosey goes in stomach first, and Romeo follows with a knee the back. Working over the back with forearms, and tagging Antonio back in. Both of them are now beating the back with forearms. Choke around the ropes. Antonio mocks Hurricane's pose drawing him in, drawing Chad over, and allowing the Throbs to double team Rosey around the post. Rosey trying to battle out of the corner now, but he goes to one knee and Romeo stops him with a forearm to the back. Working over the back with forearms. Romeo using a standing chinlock now. Rosey's fighting out of it with back elbows. Forearms. Tag to Antonio. Romeo sets Rosey in the corner, and they both whip him into the other corer. Romeo whips Antonio at Rosey, Rosey moves, Antonio gets the corner, and Rosey gets Romeo with a clothesline. Can he make the tag? Yes. Clothesline for Antonio, clothesline for Antonio. Romeo tries a clothesline, Hurricane ducks and delivers an inverted bulldog clothesline. Hurricane with a punch for Antonio, corner whip, reversed, Antonio charges into the bollo uppercut. Up to the second rope, Overcast! Hurricane saying he's going up. TO the apron, punch for Romeo to knock him off the apron, crossbody for Antonio, one two Romeo breaks it up. Rosey back in and clearing Romeo out. Hurricane and Antonio duking it out. Outside the ring, Victoria has appeared to forearm Stacy in the back. Head into the apron. Hurricane and Rosey have noticed and stop fighting. Instead of making the save, they go back to fighting for a sec - Rosey gets thrown out - and Hurricane looks back again, so Antonio can rollup him up and pull the tights - one two Hurricane rolls thru and HE pulls the tights, one two three! (5:16) Coach tries to argue two = three. Victoria backs away as Hurricane and Rosey check on Stacy.
