WWE Superstars Results: Vivacious Victory
A while back, Ziggler promised to become a World Champion. But, it appears his braggadocios ways may be interfering.
The egotistical Superstar didn’t appear to learn his lesson when he scrapped with R-Truth on “WWE Superstars.” Unlike boasting his physique or playing with his hair like his narcissistic opponent, R-Truth focused on tactics. The animated competitor, as a result, secured an impressive triumph after dialing up an emphatic Lie Detector. Full results.

Hulkamania Tour Attendance Figures
The 11/21 Hulkamania show at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia drew about 8,000. A disappointing number for local promoters that spent big money to bring in Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, and shilled out cash for the show's production.

ECW Results: Roundtable Rift
Viewing Yoshi Tatsu as his ticket back to the ECW Championship, William Regal was intently focused on winning tonight’s match. The British Brawler was so driven, he implored his cronies, Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov, to do whatever they could to insure his victory. Yet, a miscue from Kozlov allowed Tatsu to kick Regal in the head and win the match.
After his devastating loss, Regal chewed out his two monsters, blaming them for this setback. The Moscow Mauler then falsely accused Jackson of costing their kingpin the bout. This did not sit well with Big Zeke who proceeded to destroy Kozlov and Regal, sending a message that he was not happy with The Ruthless Roundtable. Full results.
