01/31/2012 Saturday Morning Slam Results (2nd Episode)


We are welcomed to a "signature" edition of Saturday Morning Slam, where we will take a look at the autographs of WWE Superstars, also an exclusive match with The Funkasaurus. Plus, Rey Mysterio will reveal the secret to his signature move: the 619.
First, we start with the top 5 catchphrases of all time in a segment called: Fave Five. (They don't number these or specify the catchphrases but rather show a video montage that "cleverly" segues from one Superstar to another):

The Rock - "If you smell what the Rock is cooking"

Ric Flair - "To be the man, you gotta beat the man" and "Whooo"

The Miz - "Because I'm the Miz and I'm Awesome."

John Cena - "You can't see me."

Stone Cold - "… And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so" and "WHAT?"

We run through a history of John Hancock and his signature. Ziggler, Kofi, Miz, Bateman, and Layla talk about what they have been asked to sign, such as dirty shoes, a baby, prosthetic leg, casts, etc.

We go to Pop Quiz with Alex Riley: "On March 26th 2001, who beat Vince McMahon to the punch and signed the dotted line to become the new owner of WCW?" Stephanie, HHH, or Shane?

Brodus Clay vs. Curt Hawkins

Santino is on commentary with Josh Matthews. Clay out-powers Hawkins and does some gyrations. Hawkins wants to prove he's the better dancer so he stops and says to hit the music. When the music doesn't start he begins to "dance" and even attempts the Worm. Clay laughs and hits a shoulderblock. Hawkins escapes to the announce table and Santino scares him with the Cobra. Clay slingshots Hawkins in off the apron and gives him an airplane spin.

- Kofi gives a PSA to not try this at home.

Hawkins goes for the injured leg to take Clay down. Hawkins continues to work the leg. Clay kicks him over the rope and hits a slam on Hawkins' way back in. Santino talks about pancakes to keep with the Saturday morning theme. Clay hits a fisherman's suplex and a splash for the win.

Winner by pin: Brodus Clay

Santino and his Cobra get in the ring to celebrate and dance with the kids and Clay. This goes-on for about a minute. We go to commercial.

Next week we will see Damien Sandow, as Superstars try to match wits with him.

This week's Superstar Spotlight: Rey Mysterio

Rey says "619" is derived from Austin's 3:16 and the area code of San Diego. He then gives us a demonstration from SummerSlam fan Axxess.

>> 08/25: WWE Saturday Morning Slam Results (1st Episode, Rules For Matches)


This morning marked the debut of WWE's foray into the "TV-G" format, as WWE Saturday Morning Slam hit the airwaves just a few hours ago.

The show is only half an hour long. This week's show kicked off with Brodus Clay. They asked him a few kayfabe questions and he gave a demonstration with the lovely Funkadactyls on how to do his funky T-Rex dance. The WWE also included a video package showing dancing gimmicks through the history of wrestling, with spotlights on 2 Cold Scorpio, Disco Inferno, and Rikishi.

The segment that followed was a Q and A segment that focused on what Olympic sports the WWE superstars liked this year. Some answers were campy kayfabe, but some helped to humanize the heels (The Miz, most notably).

Kofi Kingston defeated Heath Slater, while Santino was on commentary. Good cast of over-the-top characters to present to kids. Decent match.

 WWE isn't showing any moves to the neck or head on Saturday Morning Slam. This was confirmed in the official cable preview that WWE has sent out:

"Tag team champion Kofi Kingston is in action in the premiere of this pro-wrestling series intended for children. WWE stars are profiled and community initiatives are highlighted, while featured matches bar any moves or holds aimed at the neck."
