What's worse than watching it the first time?
TV PG LV CC open
Rodney Mack (Lafayette, LO, 278 pounds, w/Jazz) vs Maven (Charlottesville, VA, 230 pounds) - look at all these people sitting and doing nothing. Jazz is Rodney Mack's favorite girl, according to Todd - wait, Todd? Your announcers are apparently Al and Todd. Coach looked fine later in the night. Coach is Gone. Oddly, we go right to the sponsors too. Something's off tonight. Todd: "Did you expect Maven to be where he is today?" I sure hope not. Al pretends Maven is right on track and right about to make a step up. Oh, I figured it out - main camera is broke here. We're getting all low angle shots from the floor. It's distracting. Circle. Maven ducks the lockup, headlock, Maven shot off, back with a shoulderblock which actually works. Off the ropes, over, Mack hiptoss blocked, Maven hiptoss not. Armdrag. Shoulders to the gut. Back elbow. Back elbow. Maven lets up because Jazz is yelling at him, and Rodney gets in a big right because of it. Stomp. Elbow to the back. Elbow to the back. Jumping knee drop to the back. Todd: "Evolution lately has had more twists and turns than an Arby's Curly Fry." Working over the back. Mack dedicates the walking shoulder powerslam to Jazz. One two NO. Slam. Maven trying to fight to his feet, off the ropes, into a clothesline. One two no. Bearhug. Taking him down to the mat. I guess it could hurt him more. Doesn't look that way. Back up. Maven elbowing out, chinbreaker out. Maven fighting back with forearms. Whip, Mack tries a diving shoulderblock as Maven tries a crossbody, and the bigger man wins. One two no. Forearm to the back. Whip, clothesline misses, Maven fivearm hits. Dropkick. Dropkick. One two NO. Forearm. Corner whip, Maven charges into a back elbow. Mack charges out into Maven wheel kick. Maven going up. Taking his time. Near Jazz? Yep, she trips him off into the ring. Mack grabs him, inside cradle with tights one two three. (4:19) Maven:Charlie Haas::Rodney Mack:Rene Dupree. Which doesn't imply nice things about the SD! crew, now that I think about it.

Chuck Palumbo (Providence, RI, 285 pounds) vs Ollie John (Anaheim, CA, 224 pounds, already in the ring) - I don't like the odds of this guy avenging the Hurricane either. Circle. Lockup. Ollie forced into the corner. Slap to the face! Ollie doesn't appreciate it, or the awful things Chuck has done to his hair this week. Don't look directly at the hair. Circle. Lockup, Ollie with waistlock, Chuck with a hard back elbow free. Scoop, Ollie slips behind, right, right, right, kick is caught, Chuck walks him around into a big clothesline. Knee to the midsection. Knee to the head. Knee to the head. Knee to the head. Ollie tires to fight back with a punch and gets another knee to the head. Scoop, snake eyes, running big boot. One two CHUCK PULLS HIM UP. Ollie trying to punch up again, getting a knee again. Ollie picked up and run back first into the corner. Ollie killed with a short clothesline. Chuck getting in Ollie' face for taunting. Ollie battle sup, gets punched again. Hard corner whip. Camel clutch is more to set up some crossface blows. Chuck Palumbo is no El Santo. Al calls the move just so he can get in his line. Chuck sits down on the back. Scoop, fallaway slam one two three (3:02) That was about as one sided as these things get
Tonight: Tyson Tomko vs Chris Benoit
HBK Returns at Unforgiven. (:32)
Todd to Al: "Any of your friends know two things about you: 1) You're a
great wrestler, and 2) You love midgets." Al only owns up to the midgets.
So of course he loved the wedding. Al: "I was probably the only person who
loved it."
Wedding. That outfit is so not TV PG. Trish ought to be offended by the rating people claiming it is. (9:28)

Stomp. Stomp. Choke. Tyson with right hands to head. Stomp. Standing chinlock thing. Forearms to the head, now a cover one two no. More forearms. Benoit fighting back with chops, but Tyson stops him with a right hand. Chinlock. Into more of a neck vice. Really slowed it down.
