SD/Superstars Spoilers This Week

JP Liz

SD

CM Punk comes out and says he will stay the course and teach the fans the difference between right and wrong, even if so far all his work just seems to make the fans love Jeff Hardy
more. He said that this is just another obstacle in his life that he will overcome. They showed Punk's attack on Hardy last week. He said the fans love Hardy because he is just like them and none of them have the strength to be straightedge. He said none of them can be strong like him. Punk said they can boo him but the truth sometimes hurts and he will continue to tell it. The crowd was all over Punk. He accused the crowd of gobbling prescription medicine like Pez. He went on and on about all the vices people have that he doesn't do...smoking, marijuana, alcohol. He told the fans that they need a straight World champion...they need CM Punk.

*World title CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy. Hardy attacked Punk before the bell. Officials pulled them apart. Out came Vince McMahon, who ripped on Teddy Long for not keeping control. He demanded everyone return to the back and said that since Long couldn't control them, Vince will appoint a guest enforcer to maintain control....and he'll make everyone wait and find out. Punk and Hardy began brawling again.

*In a really good match, John Morrison pinned Tyson Kidd after a split legged twisting press. Morrison slipped on a springboard kick so expect that to be edited out as he did the move a second time. Really good back and forth match with lots of near falls, highspots and some stiff kicks.

*Punk vs. Hardy with mystery enforcer is still on for later.

*By the way, The crowd was really into Morrison as a babyface.

*Slam Master J defeated Charlie Haas with a top rope splash. J wasn't over with the crowd live.

*R-Truth vs. Mike Knox vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Finlay for WWE Intercontinental championship shot at Summerslam. Rey Mysterio does commentary at ringside. Lots of fast action. Truth does dive over top on Knox. Finlay goes for Emerald Frosion on Ziggler but Knox hits boot to face. Killings hits lariat off ropes for 2. Ziggler tosses Killings out of ring. Finlay cracks Knox with shillelagh. Ziggler nails Finlay with finisher and scores pin.

*Backstage, Maria and Melina talked about Maria's relationship with Dolph. Melina said she was happy for Maria but she hears bad things about Ziggler in the locker room. Maria says the Dolph in the ring isn't how he is outside of it and he treats her good. Melina said she was happy for her but to be careful.

*Chris Jericho vs. JTG. Solid back and forth match. Jericho nailed the Codebreaker on JTG but his arm and leg were under the bottom rope so ref wouldn't count. Jericho jawed with the ref and Shad Gaspard, then pulled JTG to the center. He went to pick up JTG but was pulled into an inside cradle and pinned. Big reaction for Cryme Time since they are from Brooklyn.

*Great Khali destroyed Ricky Ortiz. Kane came out from under ring and tossed Khali out of the ring, then went after Runjin Singh and dragged him through the crowd out of the Arena. Khali slowly followed through the crowd 2 minutes later, possibly after a commercial break I'm guessing.

*Matt Hardy is introduced as the special enforcer for the World title match.

*Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk. Jeff gets in Matt's face but Matt won't even look him in the eye, glaring away. Hardy is outside of ring enforcer. They went back and forth with a solid bout. Hardy went to the top but Punk cut him off. Punk nailed a superplex off the top for a two count. Punk nailed a martial arts combination and went for GTS but Hardy avoided. Punk rolled up Hardy but was kicked out of the ring. Hardy did a dive out onto Punk. The Hardys faced off outside. Punk hit a sliding kick but Jeff moved and Matt got hit. Jeff took Punk down and went for the Swanton. Punk got his knees up and went for the pin but at 2, Matt pulled the referee out of the ring. Punk began screaming at Matt but Jeff rolled him up from behind and Matt counted a fast three. A shocked Punk attacked Jeff and beat his head into the announcing table, then beat him with a chair. He stuck Hardys head in a chair and ran him into the ringpost.

Teddy Long came out and asked Punk if he was proud of himself and Punk said he was because Matt Hardy screwed him. Punk said he was and he wanted his rematch. Long said if Hardy can defend the title by Summerslam, Punk will get it...in a TLC match. Punk was pissed about the stipulation.

Superstars

William Regal & Paul Burchill defeated Tyler Reks and Yoshi Tatsu in a good match when Regal reversed a springboard bodypress on Reks and pinned him.

WWE Intercontinental champion Rey Mysterio defeated Mike Knox by DQ. Real good back and forth match. This may have been Knox's best WWE showing to date. Lots of big man, little man spots and near falls. Mysterio hit the 619 and was going for a springboard splash when Ziggler, who was doing commentary, attacked him. Mysterio escaped the two on one.

Chris Masters defeated Santino Marella with the Masterlock.

He might still screw Jeff out of the belt at Summerslam. I hope he does. I liked Evil Matt.

edit: In fact, helping Punk screw Jeff would tie into Matt's reasons for hating Jeff. Matt was always the good one who didn't take drugs and was a good soldier while Jeff got all the breaks.

Was Matt traded back to SD?

Vince floats above the draft, doing what he wants.

Also, I am pretty sure he was drafted back.

Penn

Yeah, he was drafted back in the 15-superstar swop thing. But he was injured so never appeared on SD til now.

Matt is much better as a face to be honest, so its a good move by creative.:)

I did like his reign as ECW champion. But I think his heel trun has been pretty good, and a great change as he was kind of getting stale. Rather him be heel for a year or 2 and then go back to being a face. Anything that prevents him getting future endevoured.

Also, the Twist of Hate is damn awesome

He was awesome at WM telling Jeff that their mother in heaven wouldn't want Jeff to swanton him through a table.

I disagree, the most he's ever entertained me was the Mattitude era or when he recently worked heel against the brother. Face Matt Hardy is a bit bland for me to be honest.

Fair enough but as face he was very over especially when on SD where he normally put on decent matches. The company has enough midcard heels, they need some creditable faces for the masses to get behind.

Jeff and Punk in a TLC match. Well I'm looking forward to that.

This feud has played out very well so far.

I think heel Matt is great, Why are Tyler Reks and Yoshi Tatsu loosing to Burchill and Regal on superstars? That is a bit of a backward step I would think.
They finally got Morrison a bit of a pop? About time, The crowd were very cold on him in the last month, Even though he has been winning nearly every match.

Matt looks very tanned and chubby

I'm really loving this feud with Punk and Jeff

Smackdown was pretty good again this week.

The bad bits were Slam Master J, he won't last long with matches like that.

Matt hardy's weird looking face.

Jo Mo
His match with Tyson Kidd was a good match. However Jo Mo needs a new finisher, he can't do the split leg corkscrew moonsault safely. It was poor execution of athletic moves from the top rope that got them banned so he better refine it.

I only read the spoilers re The World title situation. The rest of the show provided some nice surpises. I was shocked to see JTG go over Jericho (If only guys at the top of raw were willing/able to put over people). I also enjoyed the 4 way match with Ziggler, Knox, Fit and Truth.

Punk was awesome again, Hardy is really helping to put him over as a heel (Along with some good writing).

The Kidd v Jo Mo match was not as good as the awesome bout they had on SD the previous week and yeah Jo Mo botched his finisher horribly.

Jtg going over Jericho was refreshing, and the match itself was very good. JTG is clearly the better worker of the duo.

The four way match was fun and I did like how the Punk and Jeff match. Punk screaming " Fix him so I can break him was awesome"

That Grandmaster Sexsay wannabe killed the crowd as well. :mad::mad:

Matt's Tan was absolutely insane. We're talking Trips-at-Mania standard.

In fairness, it's gonna take him a while to get back in shape. The last thing he wants is to reinjure the abdominal muscles.
I thought Matt's expression after making the three count on Jeff was bloody awesome, and it reminded me of what he can do when he's a heel. I'd definitely be hoping to see him remain a villain, and maybe tangle with Jeff if he stays on board.

I think he would be more successful as a face to be honest. The crowd were behind him massively in his awesome SD run in 2007 and when he was ECW champion. The company needs people who do the face role well, especially if Jeff leaves.

Oh yeah, he has something that fans really like, and if Jeff leaves, I would turn him face as well. But if Jeff were to stay, I think it would be a waste of some of the good work he did early in the year, as heel. If possible, I'd like to see them run with the heat he's already earned.

Sadly, I don't think Vince will ever get behind him and push him as a top-level babyface though, regardless of what happens.

He may have no choice though if Jeff leaves, unless he turns one of the heels or brings someone from Raw over. The only SD options would be Morrison who's popularity is uncertain. Khali who cant work or Taker who does not seem ready to come back for a while. Rey seems preoccupied with the IC belt right now also.

I'm pretty sure Dolph Ziggler's taking the IC title at Summerslam though, and Rey will probably feud with Punk next (whenever that is).
They definitely are thin on the ground when it comes to main event good guys on SD though.
