Did someone start the show without me? We're looking at "behind the scenes" clips from the swimsuit contest, which is still ongoing. In matches today, Poison takes on Jade, Caliente faces Disciplinarian, Hammerin' Heather Steele meets Jacklyn Hyde and, in a PPV rematch, Roxy Powers gets a chance to stop Slam Dunk's undefeated streak. Here's some more clips. Also, we go to Jeanie Buss' office - hope we can hear this time.
Here's the intro, and since they added a whole bunch of clips, let's play the game. (I'll regret this later.)

That's all in :21 seconds. You blink, you miss fifty people.
Poison vs Jade - Poison's video shows us that she was one a scientist, but decided to drink some green liquid, the bottle fell from her hand - and that's it for this week, because we're out for the live shot. We do look back to see Poison going into the light, hmm. She has the Dr. Mario music here, which is good. Jade's just "the spitfire" here. Poison mocks the poses in Jade's video for fun. David talks about Jade's grandma being at WOW Unleashed. Lockup, headlock by Poison, off the ropes, shoulderblock. Off the ropes, over the drop down, under the leap frog, right into the monkey flip, I don't think Poison wanted it turn out like that. Everyone's talking about the WOW PPV - what was Selina thinking? What was Terri Gold thinking? Drop toe hold by Jade, and she puts on a hammerlock. The producers are working on an interview with Selina, so they might break in at any second. For now, snap mare on Jade. Whip, I guess that's a clothesline by Jade. Pulling Jade by the hair, whip, shot to the gut, high knee. Body slam. Cover, 1.5. Whip, clothesline misses, Jade's cross body doesn't, 2 count, here's a mighty good look at Jade's behind. Whip, reversed, Samurai Scissors. Dropkick by Jade. Selina will be on the phone shortly. Poison rolls out to rethink this. Rolling back in, and an eye rake. Push in the corner, hiptoss out. Celebrate. Leg trip by Poison, and here's a slingshot. Selina's on the phone, where is she? "Don't worry where I'm at, David. I've got a lot on my mind, the past couple weeks." "Well, can you shed any light, any light at all, on exactly what was taking place in that cage match, and in your mind, following it?" "You know David, I really don't want to discuss that right now. I'll be there next week, and I'll discuss it face to face. I really don't want to talk about it right now." Poison uses a camel clutch, with a hairpull added, but Jade's right near the ropes. "You won't shed any light on it, Selina? Everybody wants to know!" "Well, everybody can wait, because I have a lot of mind, and then you'll get your answers. I've got to go." Push in the corner, corner whip, Jade kips up and over Poison as she charges in, running to the opposite corner, 2nd turnbuckle springboard cross body with a twist gets 2. Corner whip, reversed, Jade kips up on the second rope and tries a modified Samurai Scissors, Poison lands directly on her head. I'm wondering if David notices too - he brings up that the piledriver is banned in WOW and says that they may have to consider banning that move too, because it's just as dangerous. Meanwhile, Jade gets a bodyscissors rollup for 2. Another one - and this is a reversed into an face first powerbomb. Next week on the big show: Not only Selina, but an update on the Riot/Danger situation. Vertical suplex by Poison. Celebrate. "Kiss my [not family friendly]" Poison Paralyzer gets it done. (5:03) Wherever she is, Grandmother is probably depressed. Three replays of the suplex - and one of the Paralyzer. Poison walks away.
Run to WOWE.Com. Vote for the Swimsuit contest - it's still going on.
Here's part one of "David McLane visits Jeanie Buss" from the PPV. "David McLane for Jeanie Buss." David makes the switch flowers at the security desk while the person is looking the other way. Walking down the row of pictures. "Rick Fox, wow. [Looks at the flowers] Laker colors, I like it." Is that because Fox married a wealthy women or something else? Dunno.
the Disciplinarian (w/stick) vs Caliente - I don't think Caliente would be allowed within 50 feet of Disciplinarian's school. Lee's got elementary school teacher issues, but he's admitting it. "What did I jus say? I told you to sit down and shut up! When I step into this ring, all of your mouths go shut! I have something to say about Caliente. Oh, poor poor Caliente, see, I'm afraid her last dance. Because she's not going to be able to walk by the time class is dismissed." They're there. Lockup, headlock by Disciplinarian, off the ropes, shoulderblock. Off the ropes, over the drop down, under the leapfrog, into the monkey flip - um, I already recapped this match. Armdrag into an armbar. Up to her feet, wring, wring, Disciplinarian cartwheels a reverse. David talks about Disciplinarian buying the farm, err, ranch. Snap mare takedown and a legdrop on that left arm. How about another. Pulling Disciplinarian up by the hair, armbar, yank, whip, backdrop. Splash, 2. Whip, clothesline. Disciplinarian Dances, whip, head down too soon so Caliente leapfrogs her, but pauses to celebrate - backslide for 2. Disciplinarian with a bodyslam. Picking her up by the hair - Pedigree?, no leg tripped up, setting up for the slingshot, pausing long enough that the ref drops to count the psuedo-pin and gets 2 before Caliente does actually slingshot her. Disciplinarian crawling away, grabbing the second rope - but Caliente pulls her in the middle of the ring. Off the ropes, splash comes up empty. Corner whip, reversed Caliente with ha monkey flip. Pick up by the hair, look at the crowd, whip, flying forearm. Caliente with another one. Push in the corner, corner whip, reversed, Disciplinarian, charge into a double boot. Caliente on the second rope, cross body for 2. Push in the corner, corner whip, drop toe hold. - time for the Mexican Surfboard? Look the crowd, she's got to Rock back - yes! Does Disciplinarian give? Yes! (3:49) Caliente does dance on. You can't stop the dance! Disciplinarian tries for the sneak attack with the yard stick, but Caliente sees her coming and dropkicks her. Dance some more! Caliente breaks the stick over her knee, as Disciplinarian skulks off. He's a replay. David's in the ring: "Gracia, Daivd. I'm proud to be a part of WOW, represent all the bi-cultural people. Los Angels, Que Diva." "Caliente! They love your dancing!" "I'm just like the fans, I'm proud of my ethnic background. And I want to be the first latina superwomen!" "Caliente!" "David, would you dance with me? Everybody? Bailamas!" "Only if the fans do - time for a little salsa! Hit it Paul George." And they dance. And David doesn't embarrass himself - well, with you're with a women's who looking like that, no one's paying attention to you anywhere. Caliente dances off into the sunset.
No, Julie Day isn't gone, because she talks to Jane Blond. Why is she wearing a 'Diva' tank top? "I am here with the new hottest British import to hit the scene." "Listen [takes off glasses], the name's Blond, Jane Blond." "Now, you are a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service, can you elaborate on that?" "Then it wouldn't be much of a secret now would it? Hmm. I will tell you, however, that my family has a history in law enforcement, my aunt is currently the Sheriff of Nottingham and my sister works for Scotland Yard, so naturally, I was in on the action." "You demonstrate tremendous physical prowess in the ring, what's your athletic background?" "Well, I'm trained in marital arts, and kickboxing, I ski, snowboard, and scuba dive and I've been known to do a little cliff diving on while on holiday. On my creative note, I toured internationally as a dancer." "Well, where you undercover at the time?" "I'm afraid that information, Julie, is classified." "What about your mission in WOW? Can you tell us, well, about your plans? "Oh, I have a mission, alright, but I'll just say right now, that I have a license to thrill and I plan on leaving all my opponents shaken and stirred." "This is Julie Day, here with the women send her fans to double O heaven."
Here's another look at the bikini videos.
Hamerin' Heather Steele vs Jacklyn Hyde (w/Nurse Mercy and a manikin head with a Barbie doll body)- David mentions that Heather learned all about Law and Order. Jacklyn looks in a bad mood already. Charging right at Heather, only to get a drop toe hold. Look at the crowd, running at Heather again and another drop toe hold, now a hammerlock and being pulled up. Twisting the arm, now taking her back down. Doctor Sarah Bellum was apparently in the back, but not out for this. Working that hammerlock, but Jacklyn reverses with a snap mare. Somersault head snap by Jacklyn. Double legdrop to the midsection. Pulling Heat up by the hair, shot to the turnbuckle, another. Snap mare. Now pulling Heather over - going up, top rope, pose, splash comes up empty. Picking Jacklyn up by the hair, whip, powerslam. Corner whip, reversed, Jacklyn bounces off the side ropes as Heather rebounds out of the corner and - that's Diamond Cutter (variation #12), right? Cover, but Heather has a foot on the ropes. Jacklyn doesn't get it, then she does but it's too late because Heather's powerslammed her. Holding for 3 (2:46), and Heather gets her first win and celebrates with al the fans - Jacklyn takes out her anger on Josh Milton. Jacklyn jumps on his back, Josh tries to flip her up, but he gets the Diamond Cutter too. Nurse Mercy to calm her down, but pretty much has to drag her away.
In Jeanie's office. "Jeanie!" "David McLane, so nice to see you." "How are you? There are for you." "How lovely!" "I hope you like these" "They're absolutely beautify. You must you the same florist as our receptionist - Flowers by Felicia!" "Uh..yes, I do. Felicia's the best, of course." "Well, I'm glad you're here because I wanted to tell you how much fun I had and how much I enjoyed seeing WOW live. The show was amazing. The women you have, they're talented, they're beautiful, they're tough, I really really liked your show." "Thank you. It meant so much to me to have you at the live event. I mean, a women at your stature, one of the top executives in all of sports at the WOW Live event meant so much to me. I really enjoyed having you there. You've got an eye for athleticism and for talent." "I like to think so, I liked what I saw in the ring at WOW, but I really liked what I saw outside of the ring." "Really?" "And I think, you and I can do some business with WOW." "I love that!" "Let's have dinner and discuss." "I like that more!"
Please oh please go to wowe.com now and vote. Her are more clips - or more of what you saw.
Slam Dunk vs Roxy Powers in a challenge match - Slam came in to the PPV in a limo, at least on the PPV we say. "All I gotta say is - bring Roxy Powers on so Slam Dunk can school her and foul her out." Roxy has new music? Maybe it's played low so it sounds like new music. Talk about the controversy in the match. Stare down, with neither wanting to make the first move, lockup, headlock by Roxy, off the ropes, shoulderblock but Slam ain't moving, off the ropes, another shoulder block, still not going any place - this crossbody takes her down for 2. Whip, leapfrog, big side kick connects and Slam rolls out. Slam yells at the announcers, because she has to fight Roxy. She talks and talks ant talks and now she's back in. Lockup, Slam with a wristlock, Roxy reveres into a hammerlock - rollup, 2 count. Roxy waits for Slam to get up, she charges right into a drop toe hold, commercial break.
We're back and Slam's on her feet - no, that firewoman's carry takes care of that. Anyway, David dropped Roxy's name during Jade's match, and he explains that now - Roxy's helping Jade with the power of positive thinking. Which is kinda odd, since they have the same number of wins. Lotus is being helped too, but we care less about her, it seems. Whip, reversed, big boot. Slam taunts. Legdrop, 2 count. Roxy reads books about positive thinking. Okay. Boot choke. Hip bump for Josh Milton. Josh warns Slam, and Slam gives him a "go away or I'll chokeslam you" look. Back to the boot choke. Now she mocks Roxy, which is tough because Roxy doesn't do enough to give mocking material. Whip, reversed, into a big boot. Dropkick by Slam looks bad, gets 2. Pulling Roxy up by the hair, mocking her, Roxy trips her up. Is she going to - Texas Cloverleaf! Too bad that's in the corner. Slam gets the ropes. Slam holds on the bottom rope, and Roxy pulls her away. Roxy going it again, but gets kicked away. Slam picks her up, whip, reversed, drop down by Roxy, off the far ropes, leapfrog, clothesline misses, Slam gets on the chokehold - teasing it, chokeslam. One, two, foot on the ropes. Slam's not happy with that. Josh (who's doing quite well for a man who did what he did last weekend) gets a belly bump from Roxy. Roll up from behind by Roxy for 2. Corner whip, Roxy charges into a double boot. Splash, and Slam puts her feet on the ropes for leverage, and Josh doesn't notice, 3 count. (5:42) Roxy tries to explain, but Josh didn't see it and Slam is out. This isn't over, the announcers tell us.
Here's some swimsuit, behind the scenes shots.
And after a break, a more extensive behind the scenes shots on how the pictures came together. Summer has karate kicks or the camera. Paradise looks happy to be done. Jade says hi to the camera - is that the first time we've heard her talk? "Whoever's brilliant idea it was to do this in January needs to be shot." Ha ha, she rules. Jade was smart enough to bring along a big coat. "June would be a good time to do a bathing suit shoot, duh." Roxy seems to like showing off her body. And with one like that, duh. Lana to the camera: "Do I still have Doritos in my teeth?" Paradise says "Stooooooooooooop" and so we do.
Hey, we have more time to kill, so let's intermix Heat's action in the ring with her bikini shots. Same thing for Lana. And everyone else.
One last visit with David and Jeanie: "David, these are our World Championship trophies: 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, and of course my favorite, the 2000 World Champion trophy." "Wow, the millennium trophy - this is the one that Shaq and Kobe were probably kissing, wasn't it. Man, This is a great collection of trophies, Jeanie. These trophies must be expensive" "Yes, and this our practice court out here, this is where the team practices everyday." "You get to watch the team practice every day? "Gotta keep my eye on them" "Jeanie, wow! I'll tell you, that's why you got a great eye for talent. And look at that, Shaq practicing free throws - he hit it!"
