Raw and ECW talk
Monday Night Raw:
Justin Roberts opens the show by announcing tonight's guest host, Jesse Ventura, but rather than Ventura coming out, Randy Orton's music hits and he enters the ring. Orton says that he knows the normal routine is for the guest host to come out and get interrupted by someone, but he doesn't care. He knows that Ventura has a major announcement tonight about the WWE Heavyweight Championship and although he's not supposed to face John Cena for the title anymore, the guest host has the power to lift his ban so he can face Cena for the belt. He continues pleading his case by saying he deserves the title more than anyone else and he asks the governor to come out and do the right thing. Jesse Ventura's music hits and he comes out to the ring.
Jesse says that "The Body" is back and he's dressed like pro wrestling, not like a governor. He addresses Orton and says that he respects him and likes his "style". He says that Orton reminds him of him from back when he was younger. He says that since he's the governor of revolution, he's going to bring something completely new to the WWE tonight. He says Orton is "not" going to give Orton a title shot. He says that week after week, the same people get a shot at the title and it's time to change that. He starts naming the main stars like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Jericho saying that none of them will get the title shot. There will be a series of matches tonight to qualify for a "break-through battle royal" and the winner of that will be the number one contender. However, no former champion can be apart of the tournament.
Orton says that Ventura is making a big mistake. Ventura then says that he's made plenty of mistakes, but it still remains that what he says goes. He then goes on to announce that John Cena will be taking on CM Punk. He puts over that they've never wrestled before. He also says that D-X will fight the Hart Dynasty and they've never wrestled before. He then puts over the tournament again and announces that the first match starts now. Kofi's music hits and he heads out to the ring. Orton meets him up the entrance way and they stare each other down, but Orton continues to the back and no physical confrontation occurs.
They lock up and Ziggler backs Kofi to the corner and gives him a cheap shot over the referee who tries to get in the middle. Kofi turns around though with punches of his own. He backs up and charges, but Dolph moves and Kingston nails the top rope. Pin attempt by Dolph, but Kofi kicks out at two. Dolph then takes over control with a number of offensive moves until he puts a headlock on Kofi. Kofi gets back up to his feet and tries to elbow his way out of the headlock. He succeeds, but Dolph knees him into the stomach and throws him back down followed by dropping some elbows. He then applies a leglock on Kofi's waist pulling back on his head, until Kofi finally gets out and nails a dropkick. Kofi starts heating up and does the Boom Drop. He tries for the Trouble In Paradise, but Dolph ducks and tries his own finisher, but Kofi hangs on to the top rope. Immediately after Kofi lands the finisher and gets the three count.
WINNER: Kofi Kingston
Since this is a Thanksgiving Special Edition of Raw, we are going to have superstars telling us what they are thankful for and Miz is first. He's thankful for the admiration the fans have for him. He's thankful for being the most successful and dominant United States Champion of all time. Actually, he's not thankful for any of those things because he expects them. As a matter of fact, the fans should be thankful. He's the Miz and he's awesome...
Sheamus goes for a clothesline right off, but Finlay ducks and hits him to the outside. He follows Sheamus and spears him into the announce booth. He rolls him back inside, but as he gets in, Sheamus takes over and goes to work on Finley. After a few kicks, he goes for a pin attempt, but Finlay kicks out at two. Sheamus charges at Finlay in the corner, but is met with a knee to the face. Finlay's offense doesn't last long though and Sheamus rams his shoulder into the steel post. Sheamus picks Finlay up on to his shoulders and launches him across the ring with one of his finishing moves (the Razor's Edge move). He pins and gets the three count.
WINNER: Sheamus
After The Match: Sheamus comes back and attacks Finlay, ramming him into the steel steps on the outside of the ring and then giving him the big boot which sends Finlay flying over the guardrail into the crowd.
John Cena vs CM Punk
The bell sounds and the two circle each other feeling each other out. Punk does the coward act and puts himself in the ropes before they even lock up. They finally do lock up and Punk applies a headlock. Cena whips him off the rope and a shoulder block connects, but doesn't take Punk down. They meet again in the middle and Punk starts his kicks. He takes Cena back to one corner with multiple kicks. He then delivers some shoulder blocks and tries to whip Cena into the other corner, but Cena reverses and hits a bulldog. Cena takes over offense and tries for his finisher, but Punk rolls out of the ring and we take a break.
We're back and Punk has a leglock submission applied to Cena's head in the middle of the ring. Cena starts powering up though and takes Cena on to his shoulders and drops back to free himself. Punk nails a clothesline and tries for a pin, but only gets a two count. He continues his offense in the corner with some kicks and then whips Cena into the other corner which drops Cena. Punk hits a neck breaker. Pin, kick out. Cena finally regains the advantage and hits his multiple shoulder blocks and the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He then tries the Attitude Adjustment, but Punk counters by landing on his feet.
Punk then tries the Go To Sleep, but Cena counters into his STF submission. Punk makes it to the ropes though and Cena is forced to break the hold. Punk lands a huge roundhouse kick to Cena's head, but a kick out at two. Punk hits the high knee in the corner and attempts a bulldog, but Cena tosses him across the ring. Cena goes to the top rope and hits his leg drop. He pins Punk, but only gets two. Cena tries for the Attitude Adjustment again, but Punk counters and nails him with a dropkick to the jaw. Pin attempt by Punk again, but another two. Punk tries for a crossbody in the corner, but Cena moves and Punk lands on the top rope. Cena follows by picking Punk up on his shoulder and going up to the second rope and hitting the Attitude Adjustment off of there! Pin and the three count.
Jesse is shown in the back and met by none another than Vince McMahon. Vince talks about Roddy Piper challenging him to a match last week and gives the reason he declined. He says he hopes that's not what Jesse wants to do and Ventura asks him why he would want to do that. Vince asks Ventura why he wanted to meet with him. Ventura says he's going to do to Vince what Vince's father did to him. Jesse says that Vince's father didn't believe in him so he made him an announcer. Tonight, Vince and Jesse are going back on the mic together just like the old days, the only thing that Vince is somewhat good at. Jesse hands Vince a tuxedo and a red bowtie to wear and McMahon storms off.
MVP and Jack Swagger start the match off and Swagger hits a shoulder block early, but after a series of counters, MVP hip tosses Swagger. Swagger takes MVP back to his corner and tags in Chavo. Chavo leaps off the top rope, but MVP catches him and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex. However, Masters had tagged in and he attacks MVP from behind. He tags in Chavo and then Chavo tags him back in as they continue their offense on MVP. MVP finally gets a tag to R-Truth after a clothesline on Masters. R-Truth comes in firing with a lot of his normal moves.
The match starts breaking down as all men enter the ring. MVP takes Swagger over the top rope and Mark Henry takes Chavo out by pressing him over his head and throwing him to the outside. That leaves R-Truth to his his kick on Masters and get the pin for the win.
WINNERS: MVP, Mark Henry, and R-Truth
We cut to the back with D-X. Hunter asks Shawn what was with the early Sweet Chin Music last night and Shawn says the match was for the heavyweight title. He assumed Hunter was going to Pedigree him first. They argue back and forth a little until they're interrupted by a "little person" in a suit. He hands them a paper and it says they are being sued by Hornswoggle. The court date is apparently next week and they make some short jokes before we cut to break.
We're back and Evan Bourne is in the ring for another breakthrough qualifying match. His opponent is Primo, but Orton attacks Primo as he comes out to the ring. He beats the heck out of him and then gets in the ring to try and take on Evan Bourne in the match. Jesse Ventura then comes on the big screen to tell Orton that since he's been persistent, rules are always made to be broken and he can break his own rules. That's what he's going to do too. He said that if Orton can beat Evan Bourne right now in the ring, he'll be in the battle royal and can possible challenge Cena for the title again if he wins that.

Shawn then informs Jericho that their tag team match at the pay per view is going to be TLC Match.

SEGMENT: Batista Explains Situation w/ Mysterio/Kane Interupts
We're back and Rey Mysterio's music hits, but instead of Rey coming out, Batista walks out. He says that Rey won't be joining them tonight because he's spending his Thanksgiving in a hospital bed. Batista says Rey has no one to blame but himself. He says that Rey stabbed him in the back last month costing him the World Heavyweight Title. He said he gave Rey a chance after that by allowing him to simply walk away, but Rey didn't. Instead, Rey decided to embarrass him. Last night at Survivor Series, he decided to powerbomb Rey until the EMT's had to stop him. Batista continues by saying that someone from Raw better win the battle royal match tonight because if someone from Smackdown wins, he's going to hit the ring and attack them. The Undertaker is his and no one can stop him...Kane's music hits and he comes out.
Kane asks what counts as disrespecting Batista? Does him interupting him in the ring embarrass him because he wants to know what Batista's going to do about it. He begs Dave to make an example out of him. Batista stares him down for a minute before he decides to walk away. The crowd erupts into boo's as Batista exits. Batista has a smirk on his face as he walks up the ramp and Kane's pyro goes off.
Rhodes and JTG start the match and early on, JTG hits a big faceplant off the second rope. Rhodes runs away from him and makes the tag to DiBiase who attacks JTG from behind. Legacy work him over a while before he can finally make the hot tag to Shad. Shad comes in with some clotheslines to DiBiase and then a big shoulder block. He throws DiBiase off the ropes, but DiBiase connects with a kick. DiBiase tries a crossbody, but Shad catches him and lifts him up for a powerbomb. A pin, but Rhodes breaks it up. DiBiase hits the Dream Street and gets the three count and they are the last to qualify for the breakthrough battle royal.
WINNERS: Legacy
In the back, Gail Kim is shown and she's about to talk about what she's thankful for, but Alicia Fox interupts her and the two almost try to put pie in each other's faces. Santino Marella comes in and says the two shouldn't be fighting, they should be cooking. He says he's thankful for breasts (chicken breasts, off course). He also wants the divas to cook him a meal of epic proportions and he asks the ladies what they think. They throw the pie in his face. The Bella Twins come in to rescue and he says that they know what he's talking about...a woman should be cooking for the man. They then hit him with a pie. Eve comes in and he says she has the honor to clean his face, so she hits him too. Vickie then sneaks up on him with a pie, but as he throws up his hands blindly, he hits the pie into her face.
Justin Roberts says it's now time for the Breakthrough Battle Royal and he introduces Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon who will be the announcers for the match. Ventura gets on the mic and says that since he's the guest host tonight, he thought they should turn back time to about 20 years when he was on the broadcast team of the WWF. He thought it was best to also put Vince McMahon on there with him where he belongs. Vince then comes out sporting the tuxedo and the red bowtie he was given earlier. They get on the headphones and go back and forth a little before Kofi's music hits.

WINNER & NUMBER ONE CONTENDER: Sheamus
We're back and we're going to have a contract signing between John Cena and Sheamus, officiated by Jesse Ventura. Cole and Lawler are back on commentating. Ventura talks about the match at the TLC pay per view. Sheamus grabs a mic, says he's the number one contender and demands that John Cena stand up and face him. Cena says he's heard that before and it's normally Hall of Fame stars saying that to him. John Cena says for the past 8 years he's hung with the best in the business and he's proud to stand before them tonight and say he's the Champion. He's earned it and everyone knows, whether they like or dislike him, that this business is his life and it's all he's got.
Cena lays the belt down on the table and tells Sheamus to take a good look at it because in a few moments, he's going to sign that contract and go to war with him. He says Sheamus better be ready to make a statement. Sheamus says he retires people because he can. He beats up Hall of Famers because he can. But that's nothing compared to what he's going to do Cena. They stare each other down. Cena takes his shirt off and Sheamus signs the contract. Cena signs it and Ventura holds it up.
Ventura then says that he thinks there is a conspiracy in the WWE to keep Cena champion. He goes heel here and says that there was one time when he didn't get a title shot because he was a rebel. The WWE wants someone like Cena. Cena gets in Ventura's face and Sheamus nails him with the big boot. He then throws him shoulder first into the steel post. Sheamus grabs Cena and picks him up on his shoulder slamming him down into the table. Ventura says that the match will be a table match at the pay per view. We start seeing replays and go off the air with Sheamus standing over Cena holding up the WWE title.

WINNERS: Degeneration X
After The Match: Chris Jericho comes out and announces that Ventura just informed him that in three weeks at the Tables, Ladders, & Chairs pay per view, D-X will challenge JeriShow for the Tag Team Championships. Jericho says Big Show is not there tonight and Hunter makes a joke about Show being at the chocolate factory. Shawn then informs Jericho that their tag team match at the pay per view is going to be TLC Match. Jericho cuts Shawn off as he's about to do their normal catchphrase and says that despite all of their accolades and accomplishments, they've never been the tag team champions and that's not going to change in three weeks.
SEGMENT: Batista Explains Situation w/ Mysterio/Kane Interupts
We're back and Rey Mysterio's music hits, but instead of Rey coming out, Batista walks out. He says that Rey won't be joining them tonight because he's spending his Thanksgiving in a hospital bed. Batista says Rey has no one to blame but himself. He says that Rey stabbed him in the back last month costing him the World Heavyweight Title. He said he gave Rey a chance after that by allowing him to simply walk away, but Rey didn't. Instead, Rey decided to embarrass him. Last night at Survivor Series, he decided to powerbomb Rey until the EMT's had to stop him. Batista continues by saying that someone from Raw better win the battle royal match tonight because if someone from Smackdown wins, he's going to hit the ring and attack them. The Undertaker is his and no one can stop him...Kane's music hits and he comes out.
Kane asks what counts as disrespecting Batista? Does him interupting him in the ring embarrass him because he wants to know what Batista's going to do about it. He begs Dave to make an example out of him. Batista stares him down for a minute before he decides to walk away. The crowd erupts into boo's as Batista exits. Batista has a smirk on his face as he walks up the ramp and Kane's pyro goes off.
Rhodes and JTG start the match and early on, JTG hits a big faceplant off the second rope. Rhodes runs away from him and makes the tag to DiBiase who attacks JTG from behind. Legacy work him over a while before he can finally make the hot tag to Shad. Shad comes in with some clotheslines to DiBiase and then a big shoulder block. He throws DiBiase off the ropes, but DiBiase connects with a kick. DiBiase tries a crossbody, but Shad catches him and lifts him up for a powerbomb. A pin, but Rhodes breaks it up. DiBiase hits the Dream Street and gets the three count and they are the last to qualify for the breakthrough battle royal.
WINNERS: Legacy
In the back, Gail Kim is shown and she's about to talk about what she's thankful for, but Alicia Fox interupts her and the two almost try to put pie in each other's faces. Santino Marella comes in and says the two shouldn't be fighting, they should be cooking. He says he's thankful for breasts (chicken breasts, off course). He also wants the divas to cook him a meal of epic proportions and he asks the ladies what they think. They throw the pie in his face. The Bella Twins come in to rescue and he says that they know what he's talking about...a woman should be cooking for the man. They then hit him with a pie. Eve comes in and he says she has the honor to clean his face, so she hits him too. Vickie then sneaks up on him with a pie, but as he throws up his hands blindly, he hits the pie into her face.
Justin Roberts says it's now time for the Breakthrough Battle Royal and he introduces Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon who will be the announcers for the match. Ventura gets on the mic and says that since he's the guest host tonight, he thought they should turn back time to about 20 years when he was on the broadcast team of the WWF. He thought it was best to also put Vince McMahon on there with him where he belongs. Vince then comes out sporting the tuxedo and the red bowtie he was given earlier. They get on the headphones and go back and forth a little before Kofi's music hits.
Kofi Kingston vs Legacy vs Sheamus vs MVP vs Mark Henry vs R-Truth vs Randy Orton
Breakthrough Battle Royal for Number One Contendership
The match starts and the competitors divide with faces on one side and the heels on the other. Immediately, Legacy and Orton go after Kofi, but he's finally helped by MVP and the other faces. Orton slides to the outside and waits while Sheamus goes to a corner and doesn't get involved in any fights as well. Legacy work over Kofi as MVP and Mark Herny work on R-Truth. MVP tries to eliminate R-Truth, but can't. Sheamus finally gets involved and clotheslines R-Truth, followed by throwing him over the top rope.
Sheamus eliminates R-Truth
The action continues and Randy Orton is back in the ring now as he and Kofi go at it. In the meantime, Sheamus throws over MVP.
Sheamus eliminates MVP
Mark Henry tries to eliminate Sheamus, but Legacy attack him from behind. Mark Henry then clotheslines Legacy over the top rope.
Mark Henry eliminates Legacy
We're down to three with Kofi, Orton, and Sheamus. Kofi and Orton go at it as Sheamus just watches from the corner. Sheamus then tries to attack Orton, but Orton counters with a backbreaker before he goes back to work on Kofi. Kofi hits a huge dropkick and charges Orton. Orton almost eliminates him, but Kofi hangs on to the top rope and pulls himself back over to catch Orton by the neck and drag him over the top rope eliminating him.
Kofi eliminates Randy Orton
While Kofi is looking at Orton on the outside, Sheamus comes up from behind and nails him off the apron winning him the match.
Sheamus eliminates Kofi Kingston
WINNER & NUMBER ONE CONTENDER: Sheamus
We're back and we're going to have a contract signing between John Cena and Sheamus, officiated by Jesse Ventura. Cole and Lawler are back on commentating. Ventura talks about the match at the TLC pay per view. Sheamus grabs a mic, says he's the number one contender and demands that John Cena stand up and face him. Cena says he's heard that before and it's normally Hall of Fame stars saying that to him. John Cena says for the past 8 years he's hung with the best in the business and he's proud to stand before them tonight and say he's the Champion. He's earned it and everyone knows, whether they like or dislike him, that this business is his life and it's all he's got.
Cena lays the belt down on the table and tells Sheamus to take a good look at it because in a few moments, he's going to sign that contract and go to war with him. He says Sheamus better be ready to make a statement. Sheamus says he retires people because he can. He beats up Hall of Famers because he can. But that's nothing compared to what he's going to do Cena. They stare each other down. Cena takes his shirt off and Sheamus signs the contract. Cena signs it and Ventura holds it up.
Ventura then says that he thinks there is a conspiracy in the WWE to keep Cena champion. He goes heel here and says that there was one time when he didn't get a title shot because he was a rebel. The WWE wants someone like Cena. Cena gets in Ventura's face and Sheamus nails him with the big boot. He then throws him shoulder first into the steel post. Sheamus grabs Cena and picks him up on his shoulder slamming him down into the table. Ventura says that the match will be a table match at the pay per view. We start seeing replays and go off the air with Sheamus standing over Cena holding up the WWE title.

Raw Results
We open with a shot of Roddy Piper in the back. He says he's back and so is the Piper's Pit. He then introduces actor Luiz Guzman who is promoting the new Old Dogs movie starring John Travolta. Piper says that he's aware Guzman is a chef and he has one of the most famous chef's there with them. Iron Sheik comes out instead and does his usual yelling and bitching about Hogan. He has action figures of him and Hogan that he's using to explain his points, too. They are then joined by the Bella Twins and all five of them do the "Live from New York...it's Monday Night Raw" shtick from SNL.
The Miz comes out to the ring. He asks the crowd if they understand that he's the U.S. Champion. He thought they loved champions like the New York Yankees. He then mocks the baseball team by saying they didn't earn their recent world title, they bought it. He says that's why everyone around the world hates the New Yorkers and their sports franchises. He says he didn't have to buy his title..he earned it..and right now, he's going to prove it. Piper apparently told him earlier that he had to defend his title tonight. His opponent? MVP.\
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The Miz (c) versus MVP
The Miz starts early by unloading a ton of punches before finally being backed off by the ref. It doesn't take long before MVP takes over the offense with a hip toss and a bodyslam. Miz rolls out of the ring to catch his breath, but MVP follows him and gives him a right hand before rolling him back into the ring. While MVP attempts to get back in the ring, Miz kicks him back to the outside and regains control. He rams MVP's head into the ring post, rolls him back in the ring, and gets a two count. Miz applies a headlock, but MVP rallies out of it and then sends Miz flying into the air making him land face first on the mat. A clothesline and he's going "Ballin". He connects and then he tries to hit the Playmaker, but Miz gets out of it. He gets a huge boot of MVP though for his trouble. Miz finally regains control with an elbow. Finish follows with the Skull Crushing Finale and the three count.
WINNER: The Miz
Chavo Guerrero vs. Santino Marella
Santino keeps up the theme of the night wearing a Rangers jersey to the ring. He takes off the Rangers sweater to reveal an Eli Manning jersey underneath. Next up a Knicks jersey, and then a Mark Sanchez jersey. Next up Santino reveals a Johan Santana jersey, and finally SWERVE a Phillies jersey. The crowd boos that, so last but not least it's a Yankees jersey. The Islanders are forgotten again. Chavo finally has had enough of these sheannigans, and delivers the three amigos to Santino. Chavo goes to the top rope for the Frog Splash, so Santino rolls across the ring. They repeat that spot two more times, and now here's Hornswoggle. He distracts Chavo long enough for Santino get a rollup victory at 2:48. I see what they were going for, but it misfired big time.
Winner: Santino Marella (Pinfall-Rollup -**)
-DX are out now, and HHH starts by sucking up to the New Yorkers a little bit. HHH says they wanted to come out and do their normal schtick, but unfortunately it's not going to happen. Shawn says it's true, they're not going to let us know that on wweshop.com their book is available right now. HHH points them in the direction of a Borders book store adjacent to the building. HHH says instead they're going to talk about the triple threat match this Sunday. HHH says they've heard what Cena said about them turning on each other, but it's not going to happen. HHH says they're on the same page, and they're going to work together as a unit. He says it doesn't matter which one of them it is, as long as the belts are in DX. Shawn says it's not like they're going to compete with each other, as they surely will but you can't tear DX apart. Shawn says he has more important business to attend to, and that's a member of the Leprechaun community. HHH calls out Hornswoggle, and says this is America and even little people can live their dream. He says if Swoggle comes out now they'll consider allowing him in DX. Swoggle happily jumps in the ring with them, and crotch chops his way around the ring until HHH orders him to stop. HHH says if he wants to be in DX he has to get in line, and he asks if he's ready. That leads to the whole "Are You Ready?" spiel from Hunter, but he cuts it short and instead PEDIGREES HORNSWOGGLE. Crowd pleaded with HHH to do it, and then popped anyway which I'm not sure was the desired reaction. Shawn pulls a little stretcher out from under the ring, and carries the little guy away.
Roddy Piper is still hanging out in Piper's Pit with the obligatory coconuts, before he is interrupted by Chris Jericho. Jericho starts complaining about the disrespect to him, but Piper just blows his nose in his face and says he's got something special for Jericho. He finds "Big Chris" (Masters) because he was so impressed by his dancing mobs two weeks. This week Masters does the pec flex to "Boom Boom Boom" by the Black Eyed Peas which impresses the Bellas and disgusts Jericho. This show is absurdly random tonight, but in a really good way thus far.
-"The Greatest Athlete in the World" Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock is out as guest ring announcer next, as this show continues to get more strange
WWE Diva's Championship Lumberjill Match: Melina © vs. Alicia Fox
The Lumberjills are the other eight competitors in the Survivor Series tag on Sunday. Melina fires Alicia outside, but she gets right back inside to avoid the wrath of the face divas only to get rolled up. Melina gets thrown out next where she is attacked by the heel divas before thrown back inside. Melina comes back hitting a flap jack on Alicia which is followed by a pair of clotheslines. Melina charges into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker from Alicia which gets two, but Melina is right back with the Last Call which finishes at 1:38. After the match McCool attacks Melina from behind, but the face divas come to the rescue leading to a big pull apart brawl won by the good girls. Complete waste of time.
Winner: STILL WWE Diva's Champion: Melina (Pinfall-Last Call ¼*)
-Roddy Piper comes out as Michael Cole gets ANOTHER Hulk Hogan mention in. This can't be by accident. Piper thanks the fans, and says he made his career on not being so nice. He says only New Yorkers would put up with that. He says he didn't do everything right, and he had some embarrassing moments right here in the ring. Piper says he took on Captain Lou, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan (there's another one), and he says this is proof that if you mess with Hot Rod you're either going to be bald or dead. He says he loves them all, but mostly the dead ones. He then claims he's the reason Hogan has no hair. Piper says he did some unspeakable things, and loved every minute of it, but he has one more dirty deed before he checks out. He wants one more match with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He says he knows Vince is a big fan of his, because when he did Real Sports with Bryant Gumble Vince fired him right here in this building. He says he knows Vince is back there, and that finally brings out the chairman. Vince exposes Piper's hair dye, and says he would suggest Piper did some awful things at MSG. He says the most heinous thing he ever did at MSG was show up here tonight. Vince says Mother Nature hasn't been too kind to Hot Rod, and asks when the last time he had his 100,000 mile checkup was. He says Piper still has the same skinny arms and legs, and his catcher's mit face. He says if he soiled his hands with Hot Rod his father and grandfather would be ashamed of him. Piper says there are plenty of things for us to be ashamed of Vince namely the suit that Mr. Gotti bought for him. Vince calls Piper "father time" and then says people tell him all the time they wish they could look as good as him when they're his age. He always responds they don't look better than him now, and that also applies to all of the superstars he's stepped in the ring with and beaten. He says unless he finds better competition he is officially retired from ring action. Piper says that's all the games he's going to play with him. He calls Vince a coward, and says he's been in 7,000 car crashes and 30 pro wrestling matches. He then says to reverse it around, and says he's not sane, he's been electrocuted, been in plane crashes, and has had cancer. He beat that, and he can beat Vince. He says for Vince to be accountable to the people who made him a billionaire. He says doesn't want this on pay per view, but instead he wants to do it tonight. He tells Vince he'll be back out tonight if Vince has the guts he'll retire him for good.
Sheamus says he's been on Raw on for four weeks, and he's already put one man out of the business. Tonight he's issuing an open challenge to anyone who has the guts to step in the ring with the Celtic Warrior. No one answers so he attacks the timekeeper randomly, and throws him across the announce table into the guardrail. That leads to what looks like the obligatory Jerry Lawler save, but it appears Sheamus has seen this episode before because he gives Lawler the big boot as soon as he stands up. Cole goes off mic to check on Lawler along with a host of officials and trainers.
-Matt Striker replaces Lawler (best trade up in history) as he "lives in New York City and was hear for the show"
-It should be noted we're closing in on 90 minutes in and we've had 8:12 of wrestling tonight. TNA Impact thinks that's bad.
Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger
Joined in progress out of the break with Bourne locked in a waistlock from Swagger. Bourne back elbows free, but Swagger delivers a clothesline to regain control. Swagger goes for a suplex, but Bourne knees his was into a counter and a rollup for two. Bourne hits a dropkick sending Swagger to the corner, and then delivers the double knee off the top rope for a two count. Bourne goes for a moonsault but gets caught by Swagger who drives him into both turnbuckles. Gutwrench powerbomb finishes for Swagger at 2:00. Much like all the wrestling tonight, far too short.
Winner: Jack Swagger (Pinfall-Gutwrench Powerbomb *1/2)
-Roddy Piper awaits Mr. McMahon in the ring, but instead he is interrupted by Randy Orton. I knew something was missing tonight. Orton says he doesn't know if McMahon is coming out here or not, but he does know that Piper has a big problem because he is here. Orton says he can't think of a better way to relieve a little stress than to put him down right now. He attacks Piper with a kick to the gut, but Piper fights back with a cheap shot. That only serves to incense Orton who stomps Piper down. Piper who has apparently not watched much of Orton climbs to his knees, so Orton sets up for the punt. Orton goes to punt Piper, and then he has to stop as it appears that the sound guy missed the cue! EPIC TRAINWRECK. Kofi's music clearly starts AFTER Orton stops charging, and Orton even appears to visibly throw his hands up in the air in disgust as Kofi finally gets to the ring. That leads to a big brawl between Orton and Kingston which Orton gets the best of. Orton decides to set up Kofi for the punt, but Kofi explodes with a flying clothesline to go on the comeback trail. The brawl continues through the crowd, until FINALLY officials are out to break them up. The officials can't keep them apart though as Kofi chases Orton into the bleachers and dumps him over the railing into the production area. Kofi finally blasts Orton with a steel lid for the technical trunks busting Orton open. Kofi then tries to dive off the railing onto Orton, but officials pull him off. That's only temporary though as Kofi returns to deliver the boom drop off the guardrail through a production table to Orton. Horrible botch on the Piper Punt aside, everything after Kofi got to the ring was gold. Great segment.
John Cena is backstage. He cuts a promo on New York and the main event. He tries to be like The Rock. Sorry John, you're not him. Good try though. Cena says 'Taker is not easy to talk to. He thought he was dead. Really? A production assistant shows up and hands him a piece of paper. WWE Survivor Series in a Triple Threat Match. We know this John. He says he's ready. He'll win at Survivor Series. Yadda Yadda Yadda.

He says for Vince to be accountable to the people who made him a billionaire. He says doesn't want this on pay per view, but instead he wants to do it tonight. He tells Vince he'll be back out tonight if Vince has the guts he'll retire him for good.
Sheamus says he's been on Raw on for four weeks, and he's already put one man out of the business. Tonight he's issuing an open challenge to anyone who has the guts to step in the ring with the Celtic Warrior. No one answers so he attacks the timekeeper randomly, and throws him across the announce table into the guardrail. That leads to what looks like the obligatory Jerry Lawler save, but it appears Sheamus has seen this episode before because he gives Lawler the big boot as soon as he stands up. Cole goes off mic to check on Lawler along with a host of officials and trainers.
-Matt Striker replaces Lawler (best trade up in history) as he "lives in New York City and was hear for the show"
-It should be noted we're closing in on 90 minutes in and we've had 8:12 of wrestling tonight. TNA Impact thinks that's bad.
Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger
Joined in progress out of the break with Bourne locked in a waistlock from Swagger. Bourne back elbows free, but Swagger delivers a clothesline to regain control. Swagger goes for a suplex, but Bourne knees his was into a counter and a rollup for two. Bourne hits a dropkick sending Swagger to the corner, and then delivers the double knee off the top rope for a two count. Bourne goes for a moonsault but gets caught by Swagger who drives him into both turnbuckles. Gutwrench powerbomb finishes for Swagger at 2:00. Much like all the wrestling tonight, far too short.
Winner: Jack Swagger (Pinfall-Gutwrench Powerbomb *1/2)
-Roddy Piper awaits Mr. McMahon in the ring, but instead he is interrupted by Randy Orton. I knew something was missing tonight. Orton says he doesn't know if McMahon is coming out here or not, but he does know that Piper has a big problem because he is here. Orton says he can't think of a better way to relieve a little stress than to put him down right now. He attacks Piper with a kick to the gut, but Piper fights back with a cheap shot. That only serves to incense Orton who stomps Piper down. Piper who has apparently not watched much of Orton climbs to his knees, so Orton sets up for the punt. Orton goes to punt Piper, and then he has to stop as it appears that the sound guy missed the cue! EPIC TRAINWRECK. Kofi's music clearly starts AFTER Orton stops charging, and Orton even appears to visibly throw his hands up in the air in disgust as Kofi finally gets to the ring. That leads to a big brawl between Orton and Kingston which Orton gets the best of. Orton decides to set up Kofi for the punt, but Kofi explodes with a flying clothesline to go on the comeback trail. The brawl continues through the crowd, until FINALLY officials are out to break them up. The officials can't keep them apart though as Kofi chases Orton into the bleachers and dumps him over the railing into the production area. Kofi finally blasts Orton with a steel lid for the technical trunks busting Orton open. Kofi then tries to dive off the railing onto Orton, but officials pull him off. That's only temporary though as Kofi returns to deliver the boom drop off the guardrail through a production table to Orton. Horrible botch on the Piper Punt aside, everything after Kofi got to the ring was gold. Great segment.
John Cena is backstage. He cuts a promo on New York and the main event. He tries to be like The Rock. Sorry John, you're not him. Good try though. Cena says 'Taker is not easy to talk to. He thought he was dead. Really? A production assistant shows up and hands him a piece of paper. WWE Survivor Series in a Triple Threat Match. We know this John. He says he's ready. He'll win at Survivor Series. Yadda Yadda Yadda.
