The Big Show Wins ECW World Title

The Big Show defeated Rob Van Dam to win the ECW World Title after chokeslamming RVD onto a chair after Paul Heyman came out and 'screwed' Van Dam. Van Dam hit the Five Star Frog Splash on Big Show and Heyman ran down and only counted to two. He then ordered Big Show to do the chokeslam and counted the three.

The crowd chanted "You Sold Out" as the show went off the air.

Moments after screwing Rob Van Dam out of the ECW Championship, Paul Heyman gave the following statement to ECW.com:

“As of this moment, Rob Van Dam has been suspended for 30 days.”

so it was a fucking 3-way dance...tag-team match for the title?

and what's the fucking deal with RVD having 2 belts...

did he lose both?

Pojo,
I think I confused you. On Monday night, the previously announced match was a three way tag team match where Cena, Edge & RVD would pick their mystery partners. This was announced before RVD's legal incident. On Monday night, they changed to match to a plain old 3 way between Cena, RVD, & Edge for the WWE title.

As far as the 2 belts, he won the WWE title from John Cena at One Night Stand. On the debut episode of ECW on Sci Fi, Heyman crowned him ECW world champ. Heyman wanted him to toss the WWE title like Shane Douglas did to the NWA title many years earlier but RVD kept it because the WWE title spins.

RVD lost the WWE title Monday night to Edge. He lost the ECW title to The Big Show on Tuesday night.

I dont get the ECW show here

You are a very lucky man. This could be the worst televised wrestling show ever. I never thought anything could be worse than the AWF but this beats it. For those that don't rememebr the AWF, it was the federation that was on really late on Saturday night's in the mid 90's that featured former WWF wrestlers past their prime in matches that had a boxing round system. I believe that Tito Santana won the tournament to become champ.

Tito Santana was the shit back then. His bout with Shawn Michaels for the IC title at WM is a CLASSIC!

Cheers! :bottle:

Check this shit out. The Heavyweight title match was probably about 45 minutes.

Tim Woods was eventually Mr. Wrestling #1, and Jack Brisco is arguably the best to ever lace 'em up.

The AWF took place several years after the Santana-Michaels match (no title on the line in that match - Bret vs Roddy was the I-C title match at WM 8)

By the way, that advice column in the previous post is comedy gold

Yes you're right, it was the first WM match for Michaels after the Rockers split up. He won by being dragged into the ring by Tito. The expression on his face when he realized he had won the match is priceless!

I love wrestling, but the details about belts and most matches slip away from my mind like dust in the wind. Once a frien of mine asked what matches had been the day before on RAW and I drew a blank. :D

That's the beauty of wrestling, eh? Bubble gum entertainment. Although, it was the first time I payed 200+ Euros for a pack of 22 bubble gums...

Cheers! :bottle:

HBK displeased with DX angle

Prior to last week, Shawn Michaels had been relatively quiet with his dislike for the DeGeneration X angle.

Although he, as a born-again Christian, was hardly thrilled with the DX antics, he had yet to make a public complaint due to fear of coming across as "difficult."

He was, however, extremely set off by the "oral sex scene" that took place on Monday's RAW, and asked for a meeting with Vince McMahon about DX's direction. Sources are not yet aware of the status of that meeting.

Shawn Michaels will get knee surgery following the culmination of the DX angle, which was largely designed to boost summer ratings while helping HHH transition to babyface.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh come on, gimmie a break.



I'm a huge Micheals fan, but his reacting to the DX antics is just stupid.

If DX didn't do the stuff that they've been known for in the past, the fans wouldn't go for it.

Why can't Shawn just "play the character of DX-Shawn" while still be a born again christian??

Other wrestlers do it, why can't he??

I think HBK has forgotten that this is the sports entertainment business, therefore, its entertainment.

Perhaps, Shawn is worried that simply 'playing DX Shawn' will make him go back to those old ways.

If that's the case, then he's not a real born again christian and is a phony!

If Shawn was uncomfortable doing DX, then why do it at all??

I know. DX = $$$$ and so far, that's been the case.

I think he pretty much comes across as a phony anyway.....His 'finding god' act is as phony as it gets.....

I wouldn't put it past Shawn that he did have problems (getting addicted to painkillers for his back, passing out, etc.)

But its starting to get obvious that whenever there are hot girls either wearing a DX bra or flashing their tits, Shawn is nowhere to be found in the sketch. Only HHH is there.

And this is a guy who married a former Nitro girl with big knockers herself.

I say they put the DX thing to rest.

If Shawn is not totally into it, as he should be, and is doing it half-assed, then they shouldn't do it.

The MSG Network just showed the coolest show. It is a 1 hour show that features classic MSG matches. The first hour had an 89 card that featured Hogan vs The Bossman, DiBiase vs Virgil, & The Rockers vs The Brain busters. They then showed an early 80's card that featured Pedro vs Snuka, Backlund vs Buddy Rose & a six man tag with Andre & The Strongbows against Fuji, Saito & Blackjack Mulligan. The show returns in 2 weeks and will feature Hogan vs Mraco in a steel cage and the MSG debut of Randy Savage against the late Rick McGraw

Well, Shawn has gone from one of my all time favorite wrestlers to simply a cunt.

The ironic thing is, not wanting to go back to his old ways actually makes him go back to his old days of being a bitch about everything.

I mean, if Paul can be a completely disgusting, unbearable, sorry excuse for a human being - That's why he's my favorite wrestler, by the way. That and his moves which are pure, classical old time wrasslin - why can't Michaels be a brat for a while?

Jaysus, and I thought Cena was a diva...

Cheers! :bottle:
