Blast From The Past: Triple H Saves Jeff Hardy

Another WWE Release

Standard line from wwe.com:

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Gene Snitsky as of today, December 11. WWE wishes Gene the best in all future endeavors.

Worst in-ring performers in the WWE

JBL. I could tolerate his run as a main event guy on Smackdown a few years back, and even though you can easily argue he should never have been elevated to the position, he did a decent job with it. From there, he was great alongside Michael Cole calling Smackdown on a Friday night. But when he returned to the ring and moved over to Raw, his whole act just sucked. Yes we know he can talk on the mic, but ol’ Jumbo Bitchtits Layfield has been awful in the ring.

Chavo Guerrero. Just so dull, so boring, to the point where you have to change the channel when he’s on screen. There’s no charisma, no spectacular moves, no interesting character work to keep you interested, yet unlike a Khali where he’s pushed as a freakshow element where you don’t really expect great matches, Chavo is put in positions on the card where you expect traditionally great workers to be put in there and he just sucks all the air out of the room.

Mike Knox. Trust me, The Great Khali ran him close. However, at least Khali has a selling point (albeit a chokeslam and a headbutt) and although both Khali and Knox are poor, Knox wins it for me. Knox doesn’t have one move worth even remembering. Kelly Kelly’s old boyfriend? He wishes. Get to the indies, or a wrestling school. Now.

Snitsky. He manages to drag anyone - and I mean anyone - down to his quality of working…which isn’t any good.

The Great Khali. Khali remains consistently poor, but during 2008 he has been further dogged by injuries, and has not had the surprisingly entertaining series with John Cena to redeem him somewhat that he had last year.

Raw House Show Results - Mexico City, Mexico Day 1

The first match was between Super Crazy against Paul Burchill and Katie Lea. Crazy won by pinfall over Paul. Next Trevor Murdoch won by pinfall over a guy who I have never seen and couldn't hear his name, very boring match, nothing to remember.

Then Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix to retain the WWE women championship, it was a good match, the people love the champion and after the match Phoenix received a strong ovation because of the good fight she gave against James.

Mick Foley was received with one of the best ovations of the day, after that, Kennedy took the microphone of Lillian and in spanish he said "I'm the future of the wrestling: Mr Kennedy" and of course the pop was huge. Kennedy won after a mic check, but Foley had to save him because Cade attacked him from behind, Mick made appear Mr. Socko to send Cade home and receive a lot of claps.

In a triple threat Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly retain their belts against Paul London with Brian and Santino Marella with Carlito.

HBK and Y2J fought in a non title match. Both had great receptions, but i think that the one for Shawn Michaels was better. HBK won by pinfall after sweet chin music.

John Cena and Jeff Hardy defeated JBL and Snitsky. At the end, Hardy and Cena took a flag of Mexico and showed it to the fans, it was fantastic, the best pop of the night, they were good enough to say hi to all the people they could on their way back to the locker room.

In the main event Triple H defeated Umaga for the WWE championship with the pedigree.

Raw House Show Results: Monterrey, Mexico

Complete sell out little over 13,000 people.

DX (awesome pop) beat Umaga and Snitsky, usual DX with funny references and great crowd interaction (probably best match of the night).

Very good show all around, usual face reaction (Cena being the biggest) and Carlito (surprisingly) had the biggest heat, given to trash taking the crowd in Spanish.

Liverpool Results

HHH & Chris Jericho d. Snitsky & Umaga

HHH & Jericho did the old DX "rock paper scissors" to decide who started. HHH locked up with Snitsky before backing off and grabbing a microphone and telling Snitsky to "Brush your teeth!" - this became the biggest chant of the night throughout the match. He also begged for freshmints or something, anything. Jericho hops out of the ring and gets a stick of gum from a fan. HHH offers it to Snitsky who proceeds to slap it away into the crowd. In what has to be the funniest moment all night, Umaga went hunting for the stick of gum, proceeded to tear off the wrapper and start chewing it which got a huge laugh from everyone! He went on to check his breath with Snitsky who said it was fine, Snitsky checked his breath and it damn near knocked Umaga off of the ring apron! Finish comes with Jericho getting the Codebreaker on Umaga and then Snitsky, before HHH gives a Pedigree to Snitsky to win the match.
