Winners: London & Kendrick via pinfall. **1/2. Awesome little match. Great speed from Londrick and great intensity from Holly. Do we have a tag team division again? Holy shit. Did they hire a new booker or something?
FLAIR MEMORIES Flair-Steamboat from Wrestlewar '89. Great series of matches. Lots of chops. Flair rolls through a slam for the win for his 6th world title.
Chris Jericho v CM Punk
Not for Jericho's IC title. They replay the finish of Money in the Bank and Jericho looks annoyed. Lots of Punk signs in the crowd. They start out by kicking the legs. Jericho wins out and hits a Spinal Tap. "CM Punk" Orlando. Jericho grabs a headlock. Punk shoots him off but Jericho gets a shoulderblock. Crowd reacts but its hard to tell whether its positive or not. Punk with an armdrag but Jericho blocks another into a backslide for 2. "Y2J" Orlando. Punk sets too early and gets kicked into a clothesline for 2. Backbreaker from Jericho. Duelling chants now for the two babyfaces. LOUD duelling chants. They trade on forearms before Jericho wins out with a knee to the midsection. Jericho looks happy again as he lands a running senton. Jericho with another leg kick and he dumps Punk on the ropes. Punk ducks the springboard dropkick. Jericho crashes and burns. Punk tries to follow up but Jericho backdrops him out of the ring. Jericho slides out after him and Punk kicks him in the temple. Back inside Punk gets a springboard clothesline to the back of the neck but then he runs into a boot. Jericho holds the ropes to dodge a dropkick but Punk dodges the lionsault and kicks the leg. Shinbreaker! High knee in the corner. Jericho escapes the bulldog but Punk avoids Jericho's too. GTS is countered into the Walls of Jericho but Punk has too much leg strength. CODEBREAKER! Jericho gets the win.
Winner: Chris Jericho via pinfall.***1/4 for a great fast paced match. Here's hoping for an extended feud or at least Punk hanging with some other solid midcard guys.
FLAIR MEMORIES 1992 Royal Rumble. Naitch comes in at #3 and wins for his first WWF title.
PROMO TIME The Big Show . He's sporting heavy makeup bruising on the jawline from the brass knucks shot. He's still smiling though. "Big Show" Orlando. He congratulates Floyd Mayweather, and his manager, and six bodyguards, and the chair and the brass knuckles
"Floyd Mayweather, greatest fighter on the planet". Show moves on to the Hall of Fame. He says Flair talked about breaking in the business with Andre the Giant but he looked Show in the eye and said he's the greatest big man he's ever been in the ring with. He says he's going back to what he does best; no one can stop him one on one. This brings Great Khali (sidenote Show is great fun as a wrestler because he manhandle people and I love watching him throw guys around, so why do they always book him against other big guys?) "You can't wrestle" chants Orlando. Show tells him to get out of his face. Khali spits abuse at him. "Seriously" Show. Khali backs up a touch but continues to mouth off. Show is all ok, let's go'. "Show's gonna kill ya" Orlando. Is this an ECW show from 1998? Khali wusses out and walks off having sent a "message" to Show. "You suck" Orlando.
