TV PG V CC entertainment open fireworks

United States Champion Booker T (Houston, TX, 252 pounds) vs Brandon Groom (Tulsa, OK, 240 pounds, already in the ring) in a non-title match- Groom seems to have acquired some amateur headgear since the last time we saw him in May. Your announcers are Bill and Josh (no neck brace). I have no energy and will be mailing this in at all opportunities; trying to fit the motif of the show. Lockup, Groom forced into the corner, clean break because Booker doesn't need to cheat against a chump. Lockup, knee by Booker, forearm to the back, chop, right, chop, big right. Choke. Whip, clothesline missed, Groom with a right, right, right, whip, no quick reverse into a short knee. Whip, superkick. Bill remembers we've seen Brandon Groom before! One two NO. Stop wasting Booker's time, Brandon. Chinlock. Bill: "Booker T has a heck of a golf game. [beat] That Nintendo is something else." TIGER WOODS Y'ALL. Brandon backing up to his feet, off the ropes, into a jumping side kick. I think he's ready to end this. Kick to the midsection, off the ropes, scissors kick. One two three. (2:45) Stop wasting Booker's time like this. He's got things to do. Courses to unlock. 4 o' 5 this Thursday.

Scotty 2 Hotty (Westbrook, ME, 217 pounds) vs reflection of perfection Mark Jindrak (Atlanta, GA, 263 pounds) - I know it seems like we've done this quite a bit, but we haven't done this one since May too. (Not the same show.) Circle. Scotty's wacky strut. Lockup, armbar, Jindrak rolls into a reversal. Scotty reverses. Headlock, thrown off by Jindrak. Circle. Jindrak with a kick, forearm to the back, stomping. Headlock. I like how Bill talks about how the Dudleys stick together. Scotty shoots Jindrak off, back with a shoulderblock. Jindrak off the ropes, over, into an armdrag, armdrag, dropkick out. Do we need a commercial break? Apparently not. Scotty raises the roof, off the ropes, baseball slide dropkick misses, killer left hand doesn't. Scotty is dead. Jindrak comes in. Korderas starts counting Scotty out, but Jindrak has a stupid look on his face saying he's going to break up this easy countout win. Yep, bringing in at six. Stomps. Choke on the mat. Suplex. One two no. Chinlock. Bill is going on about the pay window. Scotty rallying back, elbow, elbow, elbow, off the ropes, Jindrak misses a clothesline, Scotty socks him with a right hand. Right. Right. Off the ropes, jumping clothesline. Whip, reversed, fivearm by Scotty. Spike chest beating. Off the ropes, into a Jindrak back elbow. Jindrak sizes Scotty up, clothesline is ducked, Scotty hits the superkick. Right into position. Is Scotty getting up first? No, they're both down for quite a while. Scotty kips up fresh at Six. Off the ropes, two handed bulldog ducked, Jindrak with a shot to back, back suplex but Scotty lands on his feet and inside cradle one tow no. Jindrak with a kick, suplex - no, Scotty loaded up on top. Jindrak trying for a superplex, but Scotty blocks it repeatedly. Scotty fights back, and shoves Jindrak off. Jindrak lands on his feet, though, and slaps Scotty. Jindrak takes a couple steps back, leaps towards the corner, lands on the top rope, tries to pulls Scotty into a 'rana, and it doesn't work. I don't know it was supposed to be blocked or what (Scotty was keeping his hands on the ropes, but it's tremendously odd to have some go through so much effort just for a failure), but Jindrak landed alone, on his head. Quick to the finish - Scotty second rope sunset flip, Jindrak blocks and sits down, grabs the middle ropes one two three. (5:32) Replay of the botched move. Jindrak is quite out of it, and it's not clear how much of it's an act.
