TNA 01/28/12 "RING KA KinG" FuLL 1st Episode

TNA 01/28/12 "RING KA KinG" Results :Veera Surrounded..!

The show starts off with pop star Mika's performance with backup dancers. After the performance is over, a female anchor enters the ring to greet the audience and interview Mika, who says he's excited for the show as he's been a longtime wrestling fan. The female anchor then calls upon cricketer Harbhajan Singh to come to the ring, and he comes out to his own theme music and welcomes the audience and puts over the show and concept. He then begins to introduce the top eight competitors to the ring starting with Chavo Guerrero Jr., who is put over by commentators as a third generation international star. Next one is B-Maxx, who is an Indian wrestler with a boxing/MMA background as mentioned by commentators. Sir Brutus Magnus is next followed by Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore, who's doing a Dr. Stevie kind of gimmick. Sonjay Dutt is next with a bald head and is acting heel. Indian wrestler and former Mr. India Mahabali Veera makes his way to the ring after Sonjay. Scott Steiner is introduced next and Matt Morgan is the last to come out.

Harbhajan then introduced Jazzy Lahoriya, who is the commissioner of RKK and is accompanied by a huge Indian bodyguard. They then show the Heavyweight Title hanging above the ring as fireworks begins. These eight will compete for the gold in a tournament.

Jeremy Borash is in the ring and announces the participation of the eight competitors for the tournament. He interviews Morgan who says he's the favorite to win the title but is interrupted by Magnus, Steiner & Sonjay. A fight breaks out but Jazzy's guard separates them. We cut to the commentators.

JB is in the ring to introduce competitors in the first match.

Mahabali Veera vs Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore

Veera's entrance reminds me of AJ Styles. Dinsmore begins the match and carries Veera. Veera pins Dinsmore after a spinebuster.
Winner: Mahabali Veera

Backstage segment: Magnus, Steiner & Sonjay are on phone line with their "Boss" and talk about how they'll win the title tournament and take over.

Back to the ring, Indian wrestler Shera introduces his "Guru," The American Adonis (Chris Masters). Commentators put him over as a heel by stating he knows Hindi but won't speak it maybe because he doesn't like India. He cuts a heel promo stating nobody can break his "Adonis Lock" in India and puts up 100,000 rupees up for grabs to anyone who breaks it. Shera translates this in Hindi. Adonis calls out a boy from the audience. Apparently Adonis doesn't even know the name of the city he's in. He puts the boy in the Master... sorry, Adonis Lock and easily makes the boy submit, who sells it like a heart attack and is checked on by Doctors.

Backstage: An interviewer is standing with Mahabali Veera, who expresses his excitement after winning his match. He's congratulated by Harbhajan. Morgan too joins them and shakes hands with Veera.

Main event: Matt Morgan vs Sir Brutus Magnus
Magnus makes his way first as we go to a commercial break. Morgan is introduced as the show comes back on the air and gets huge pops. Morgan & Magnus lock up and Morgan easily throws him off. Magnus tres to come back but is again puts him down with a shoulder block. Magnus rolls out of the ring and stalls for a while. Morgan chases him outside which leads to Magnus getting back in the ring and show some offense. Morgan is on the ropes and Magnus hits him with a running elbow drop to the back and goes for the pin but Morgan kicks out at 2. Magnus applies an abdominal stretch on Morgan which he counters by a hip toss. Morgan regains control by two clotheslines followed by a discuss clothesline. He sets Magnus up for a chokeslam and executes it successfully. Magnus gets back on his feet but eats a "Carbon footprint" kick from Morgan who pins him.
Winner: Matt Morgan

Sonjay Dutt & Steiner enter the ring and look to attack Morgan, but Veera comes out and stands along with Morgan to even the odds. Just a staredown, nothing physical.

Next episode will feature Scott Steiner vs. B Maxx and Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Sonjay Dutt.

Overall, the show just gave a glimpse of what's in store with only two matches that were not very physical. Good way to start out with a crowd who was extremely hot for everything the show had to offer and made up for a good debut show despite many filler segments.

01-28: SmackDown results: The World's Largest Athlete powered through Bryan's sneak attack

TUCSON, Ariz. – With the 25th
anniversary of the Royal Rumble just two days away (FULL COVERAGE), Big Show triumphed over The World’s
Strongest Man, before withstanding a surprise chair assault by World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan.
Meanwhile, Randy Orton returned from injury, targeted the Barrett Barrage with a vengeance.

Big Show def.
Mark Henry by Count-out (WATCH | PHOTOS | WATCH AS DANIEL BRYAN STIRS UP TROUBLE PRIOR TO THE MATCH | PART 2)
Just
two days before their Triple Threat Steel Cage Match against Daniel Bryan for
the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble, The World’s Largest
Athlete and The World’s Strongest Man faced off one-on-one – with the champion
sitting ringside. When Henry could not answer the count – the result of Big
Show knocking him out of the ring – Bryan attacked the victorious giant with a
chair.

After
breaking out of Bryan’s LeBell Lock, Show roared back, chokeslamming the
champion and nearly landing a crushing WMD. Bryan scrambled out of the ring,
but where will the submission specialist run when he faces Big Show and Mark
Henry in a Steel Cage Match this Sunday? (MATCH PREVIEW)

Aksana def.
Natalya
(WATCH | PHOTOS)
In
her very first match on SmackDown, Aksana got the roll-up in less than five
seconds on a distracted Natalya. After the match, the angered third-generation
Diva put her in the Sharpshooter, making the Lithuanian beauty frantically tap.
Tamina, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, came to Aksana’s
rescue, landing a splash off the top rope onto her prey.

Prior to the match, a
confrontation between Aksana and Natalya let to a very awkward
moment (WATCH)

Brodus Clay def.
Alex Riley
(WATCH | PHOTOS)
The
only living, breathing, romping, stomping “Funkasaurus” in captivity, Brodus
Clay, faced off against Alex Riley. As the match began, an affable A-Ry tried
to show off some moves of his own. But the Superstar from Planet Funk quickly
squashed his rhythm, nailing his opponent with a thunderous “What the Funk!” to
secure the win.

Hunico def. Ted
DiBiase
(WATCH | PHOTOS)
Despite
a cracked bone and torn cartilage in his wrist – suffered at a WWE live event
in Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada last weekend – Ted DiBiase once again battled Hunico.
With Camacho in his corner, Hunico focused his assault on DiBiase’s handicap,
hurling him to the canvas to secure the victory. After the match, Hunico and
Camacho attacked DiBiase and stomped his injured wrist on the unforgiving steel
steps.

Randy Orton vs.
Wade Barrett ended in a No Contest (WATCH | PHOTOS)
With
Randy Orton set to return to SmackDown after being injured one month ago in a brutal
Falls Count Anywhere Match with Wade Barrett, his English adversary declared
that The Viper was “spiritually broken” and “a shell of a man.”

WWE’s
Apex Predator interrupted and, within moments, the Barrett Barrage clashed
head-on with the vengeance of The Viper, before the match could even begin.
With emerging referees and Superstars unable to break them apart, Orton
unleashed his retribution, creating all-out chaos. While Barrett was able to
escape the ring, the present SmackDown Superstars weren’t so lucky. The Viper
delivered five searing RKO’s, suggesting he’s fully recovered, physically and
spiritually.

WWE Tag Team
Champions Primo & Epico def. Santino Marella & Yoshi Tatsu (WATCH |
PHOTOS)
Prior
to the match, the odd couple tag team of Santino Marella and Yoshi Tatsu
debated whether they should be called “Santoshi” or “Yoshitino.” WWE Tag Team
Champions Epico and Primo didn’t appear to care either way. After Epico hit a
Backstabber on a distracted Santino, the explosive champions celebrated with the
stunning Rosa Mendes.

Sheamus def.
Drew McIntyre
(WATCH | PHOTOS)
Due
to Teddy Long’s repeated threats of termination, Drew McIntyre has been on the
hot seat for weeks. A match against the quick-tempered Sheamus did little to
improve McIntyre’s shaky employment situation, as The Great White overcame the
Scottish Superstar with a devastating Brogue Kick. While “The Chosen One” once
again fell short, Sheamus appears to be peaking at the perfect time for the
Royal Rumble Match.

Intercontinental
Champion Cody Rhodes def. Justin Gabriel (WATCH | PHOTOS)
For
the second week in a row, Cody Rhodes faced off against the high-flying
Superstar from South Africa in an exciting, fast-paced match. Gabriel was very
competitive against Rhodes but eventually succumbed to the Cross Rhodes,
marking another impressive win for the driven Intercontinental Champion. Will
Rhodes fulfill his declaration to triumph in the Royal Rumble Match in two
days?

Big Show will
face Mark Henry in a main event match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
To
kick off SmackDown a remorseful and heavy-hearted Big Show apologized for his
actions in unintentionally injuring AJ two weeks ago. The emotional Superstar brought
doubt as to his state of mind and what the future holds for his career following
his match at the Royal Rumble.

He
was interrupted by World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan, who insulted Show as
a “genetic freak,” calling for his retirement before slapping him. The infuriated
giant grabbed Bryan’s face and told him, “What happened to AJ was an accident,
what I do to you Sunday won’t be.” And with that The World’s Largest Athlete
tossed the champion through the air.

Not
one to miss a confrontation, Mark Henry made his way to the ring to address
both Superstars, reminding them that he too is part of the Triple Threat Steel
Cage World Heavyweight Championship Match on Sunday. Before things exploded,
SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long emerged and made an additional main event for
later in the show: Big Show vs. Mark Henry.

23-01-12: WWE RAW SuperShow Results

PHOENIX – With only one week until the 25th Anniversary of the Royal Rumble, calling WWE Raw SuperShow "eventful" would be a gross understatement. Chris Jericho informed the WWE Universe that "it's going to be the end of the world as you know it," while Dolph Ziggler managed to upstage WWE Champion CM Punk on two separate occasions. Also, Zack Ryder horrifically suffered a broken back after Kane chokeslammed him through the entrance stage in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

WWE Champion CM Punk vs. John Laurinaitis did not take place
Moments before Interim General Manager John Laurinaitis battled WWE Champion CM Punk, he received word from WWE's Board of Directors that his job performance would be evaluated. The Board of Directors is bringing Mr. Laurinaitis' decision-making into question, especially his declaration that he would screw CM Punk at Royal Rumble. Furthermore, the Execuitve Vice President of Talent Relations' job performance would be evaluated personally by WWE's COO, Triple H. 

David Otunga and Mr. Laurinaitis read the letter to CM Punk inside the squared circle. Mr. Laurinaitis apologized to Punk, announcing he would fairly call the WWE Title Match at Royal Rumble and that Mick Foley was officially an entrant in the Royal Rumble Match. However, the Interim Raw General Manager also informed the WWE Champion that their match would not take place and Punk would battle David Otunga. This prompted Otunga to attack The Voice of the Voiceless.

Otunga's attack was short-lived and CM Punk was soon left alone in the ring with Mr. Laurinaitis. The Executive Vice President of Talent Relations extended his hand in peace, but was reciprocated with a resounding GTS from the WWE Champion. This bold move by The Second City Savior was quickly upstaged when Dolph Ziggler snuck into the ring and took down his Royal Rumble opponent with the Zig Zag.

R-Truth def. The Miz
Earlier in the evening, the former tag team partners engaged in a heated argument during a backstage interview. As a result, Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis informed the two Superstars that the loser of the match would be the first entrant in the Royal Rumble Match. When the opening bell rang, the two bitter rivals each did their best to gain an early advantage in the contest. Momentum swings were farily even at first, but it was R-Truth who ultimately bested The Awesome One. As a result, The Miz will certainly have the odds stacked against him in the Royal Rumble Match.

Brodus Clay def. Heath Slater
The Funkasaurus continued to show that he had all the right moves and picked up a victory against Heath Slater on WWE Raw SuperShow. The Superstar hailing from Planet Funk made quick work of The One Man Southern Rock Band and immediately got back to getting his groove on. William Regal watched from the announce table, criticizing Clay’s every move. On SmackDown, Regal was unceremoniously decimated by The Funkasaurus after busting some moves of his own.

Sheamus def. Jindar Mahal
Jinder Mahal failed to capture a victory over The Celtic Warrior on WWE Raw SuperShow. With Wade Barrett joining the commentary team, he watched as Sheamus built a great deal of momentum and pummeled Mahal. While the Punjabi Superstar did mount a brief offense, he was stopped in his tracks by a powerful Brogue Kick. Following the contest, The Great White made sure to reaffirm his commitment to win the Royal Rumble Match.

Kane vs. Zack Ryder ended in a No Contest
The former United States Champion proved for a second week in a row that he is a true fighter. After losing the U.S. Title in part to injuries suffered at the hands of Kane one week prior, Long Island Iced-Z stood up against The Big Red Monster in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Still injured, Ryder tried to go after Kane early-on, but Kane quickly overpowered his opponent and targeted his injured ribs.

As Eve begged Kane to show mercy, it seemed to only enrage The Big Red Monster further. However, even as he took tortuous punishment, Ryder continued to kick out of Kane’s pinfall attempts. As they battled through the crowd, the two ring warriors made their way to the entrance area. After relentless punishment that left the WWE Universe cringing with every strike, Kane chokeslammed Ryder through the stage.

Chris Jericho’s “Highlight Reel” returned to Raw
After weeks of bizarre behavior since returning to WWE, Chris Jericho seemed poised to address all the questions of the WWE Universe with the return of Jericho’s “Highlight Reel.” With the Jeri-Tron 5000 back to full power, Jericho played a video highlighting his storied career. He then grabbed a microphone and said, “This Sunday at the Royal Rumble, it’s going to be the end of the world as you know it.” The first-ever Undisputed Champion then exited the arena.

Dolph Ziggler & U.S. Champion Jack Swagger def.  WWE Champion CM Punk & John Cena (PHOTOS)
In an impromptu tag team match, John Cena and CM Punk immediately showed great teamwork in an effort to take out their frustrations with Mr. Laurinaitis. With momentum not in their favor, Ziggler and Swagger tried to regroup and re-strategize. With a combination of pure athleticism and show-boating, The All-American American and No. 1 contender to the WWE Title built a fair amount of momentum against Cena. But the fighting spirit deep within the Cenation leader overpowered Swagger with an Attitude Adjustment paving the way for the WWE Champion to get inside the squared circle. However, as The Voice of the Voiceless ascended the ropes to elbow drop Ziggler, Mr. Laurinaitis distracted Punk, allowing the Show-Off to capture the victory.

In response, CM Punk challenged the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations to a match tonight and Mr. Laurinaitis accepted!

WWE Champion CM Punk called out Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis
One week after unloading a verbal tirade on Mr. Laurinaitis, The Voice of the Voiceless opened WWE Raw SuperShow by calling out the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, and demanding he admit that he will screw Punk at Royal Rumble. To the surprise of the WWE Universe, John Cena made his way to the ring as Mr. Laurinaitis did not. Cena took the opportunity to demand a match with Kane on Raw and to grant Zack Ryder a U.S. Title rematch.

The Interim Raw General Manager finally appeared and announced that Zack Ryder would face Kane in a Falls Count Anywhere Match tonight. He also declared that if Cena interfered, Long Island Iced-Z would never have another U.S. Title opportunity. Mr. Laurinaitis then announced that CM Punk and John Cena would battle Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler next!

01-20: SmackDown results: Lumberjack Match Rumbles out of control

LAS VEGAS – “Sin City SmackDown” lit up Las Vegas like never before, with a series of explosive specialty matches determined by the unpredictability of the roulette wheel. And when the aggressive actions of World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan sent the lumberjack World Title showdown spiraling into madness, the WWE Universe was given a true taste of the bedlam the Royal Rumble Match will bring in just nine days.

The World Heavyweight Championship Lumberjack Match ended in a No Contest (WATCH | PHOTOS)
For the third week in a row, extraordinary circumstances allowed World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan to walk out of SmackDown with his coveted title, despite the fact that he was lucky to walk out at all.

When Mark Henry threw Bryan over the rope and onto the lumberjacks outside the ring, the reigning champion opted to fight the masses rather than his opponent. Then, when Henry found himself caught up with a sea of lumberjacks – as he was getting his adversary back in the ring – Bryan began throwing random kicks at everyone in sight. This incited several Superstars to enter the squared circle after him, causing the match to descend into all-out chaos. Amidst the inevitable anarchy, Bryan retreated up the ramp, with the World Title firmly in his grasp.

Once Bryan was clear of the action, SmackDown General Manger Theodore Long informed him that he will defend his championship in a Triple Threat Steel Cage Match at Royal Rumble against both Mark Henry and Big Show. (MATCH PREVIEW)

Santino Marella def. Drew McIntyre in a Blindfold Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Though SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long looked ready to fire Drew McIntyre for not living up to his contract in recent weeks, Assistant to the General Manager Santino Marella convinced him to give the Scottish Superstar another chance – facing him in what the roulette wheel would determine to be Blindfold Match, where both grapplers would have their eyes completely covered.

After McIntyre failed in his attempt to cheat his way to victory, The Italian Stallion reigned supreme – calling on the WWE Universe to guide his sightless Cobra attack, which allowed him to pick up the win.

Ted DiBiase def. Hunico in a Flag Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In the first-ever Flag Match in SmackDown history, Ted DiBiase hit Dream Street to overcome Hunico, paving the way for him to wave the American flag proudly in triumph. 

Wade Barrett def. Sheamus in a Tables Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Just when Sheamus looked ready to put Wade Barrett through a table with the Celtic Cross, Jinder Mahal suddenly jumped up on the ring apron. His distraction allowed Barrett to turn the tide and hurl The Great White through the table for the victory. But when Mahal tried to repeat this action in the aftermath, The Celtic Warrior got his retribution, hitting the Punjabi Superstar with the Brogue Kick before driving him into a table.

Brodus Clay def. Vickie Guerrero in a Dance Off (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In a special Sin City SmackDown Dance Off, the WWE Universe determined that Brodus Clay had the moves to put Vickie Guerrero’s “rhythmic” challenge to shame. Then, when William Regal attempted to defend Guerrero’s honor with some dignified steps of him own, The Funkasaurus ended his interruption with the thunderous “Ah-Funk-It!”

WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo def. The Usos in a Tag Team Tornado Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
This past Sunday, in a WWE Live Event in Oakland, Calif., Primo & Epico defeated Air Boom to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships. Making their return to Friday night, the high-octane duo looked ready to celebrate with a victory over the battling sons of Rikishi.

Hours before SmackDown, the stunning Rosa Mendes spun the roulette wheel on WWE.com (WATCH), determining that the new champions would face their foes in a Tag Team Tornado Match, with all four participants legal in the ring at the same time. And in the midst of the fast-paced competition that followed, Primo hit a Backstabber for the pin.

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. Justin Gabriel in a Player’s Choice Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Awarded a Player’s Choice Match with a spin of the wheel, Cody Rhodes chose to face Hornswoggle. However, when he attacked his pint-sized opponent before the bell, Justin Gabriel came to the rescue – egging on Rhodes to face him instead.

Despite Gabriel’s intense effort, which included several near falls on the Intercontinental Champion, Rhodes ultimately prevailed with the Cross Rhodes.

Daniel Bryan called for Big Show to quit
After repeating the claim he made on Raw that Big Show’s collision with AJ one week ago was no accident, Daniel Bryan declared he would dedicate his main event match against Mark Henry to his injured girlfriend. Sending a message to The World’s Strongest Man that he was not afraid of him, the World Heavyweight Champion called for Big Show to “do the right thing” and quit.

01-17: Bring it Back: 10 reasons to roll WrestleMania ring carts back into WWE

WWE.com wonders whatever happened to the ring carts that
used to drive Superstars to the ring in both WrestleMania III and WrestleMania
VI? Yes, perhaps they were a somewhat simple-looking, rather obvious construct. Yet they truly emphasized the magnitude of the annual Showcase of the Immortals, and had such a unique look and feel that to this day has yet to be recaptured. Who can ever forget the arrival of Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III, inside the cart with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan - or "The Brain's" subsequent breakdown in the vehicle after his giant's defeat at the hands of Hulk Hogan?

CLASSIC RING CART PHOTOS

Need others reasons why WWE should bring the ring carts back? Here are ten:

1) Whenever you have a long night of getting suplexed
off the top rope, knocked through the ringside barricade or RKO’ed onto an
announce table, you kinda need your rest.

2) They allow Hornswoggle to see what Big Show
feels like in a regular ring.

3) Having a driver on the way to your match will
prevent you from getting lost.

4) Let’s face it: walking’s overrated.

5) They give you a few extra moments of pre-match
preparation, which you can use to review your overall strategy, check your
e-mail inbox or just find your mom in the crowd.

6) They increase the chances that your opponent
will psych himself out while he waits for you – those
carts weren’t Ferraris.

7) Did we mention walking is overrated?

8) They allow you the ideal stage to create your
classic post-match tableau as you leave the ring, with that dramatic body
configuration that best captures your greatest triumph or most humiliating
defeat.

9) When you surround yourself with a smaller ring,
you, in turn, now look bigger.

10) If nothing else, it’s just darn good fun.

01-17: Day After Raw: Your Tweets for Jan. 17, 2012

Bell
to Belding, Monday's Raw SuperShow was filled with returns and cameos in
Anaheim,Calif. A climactic ending sequence involving livid WWE EVP John
Laurinaitis and Mick Foley foiled the visual of Mr. Socko's cotton comeuppance
in the main event ... but it's all right because Raw was saved by the bell.

It's
the day after Raw. Let's see what you thought ...

The taste of sweet sock-cess
The
WWE Universe had a nice day on Monday thanks, in part, to the tube socked
success of Mick Foley alongside WWE Champion CM Punk against Dolph Ziggler,
Mark Henry and David Otunga. The reemergence of Mr. Socko from the sweatpants
of Foley drew WWE fans to their feet even after being soured by an
anticlimactic return to action by Chris Jericho, who deserted his team.

Of
course, the terse, tense verbal exchange between Punk and Interim Raw GM
(shades of Austin-McMahon) led to the executive's blown gasket and ensuing
microphone blast to Mick's noggin. (WATCH) Foley may have left Raw with a bad taste in
his mouth following the cheap shot by Laurinaitis, but you can bet it'll be
Otunga who will be filling his coffee mug with mouthwash instead of his usual
joe for the next week.

@mikec3563: @realMickFoley Nice to see you get some in ring
time live on a #Raw main event, i get chills when you pull out Mr Socko. Pure
nostaligia :-)

@JTWyatt: @realMickFoley We need more of u on #Raw. Just
wish u would have stuck Mr. Socko down Laurinaitis's throat.

@Dooleysmash: Mr. Socko for 2012 Royal Rumble. Lol #RAW

@meechell83: @realMickFoley Mr. Socko should have his own
twitter! Please never leave #raw

@TheAhmedBH: The best part in the #raw supershow was when
The Executive VP of Talent Relations and Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis get
angry hahaha :D

@WNSource: Is it true? Is Johnny Ace the NEW Mr Mcmahon? Is
CM Punk the NEW Stone Cold Steve Austin? #cmpunk #johnnyace #wwe #raw #vince #austin

@janoxrock: Mr. John Laurinaitis embrace the hate. #RAW @WWE

@cynicjrh: Punk nailed his promo, but guess what: so did
Ace. That was Laurinaitis' best performance to date. If Punk/Ace happens, I'm
there. #wwe #raw

@WWERockCena: U Mad Bro? U Mad? Stay Mad! xD | #WWE #Raw #SuperShow
John "Johnny Ace" Laurinaitis

@EricaWing: Johnny Ace takes out legend Mick Foley. Much
more effective than manning up to Punk. Riiiiiight. #Raw

@notwilson: Punk/Lauranitis storyline is like Austin/ McMahon.
Being in position of power and great #heel, surely many want to see Johnny gets
GTS. #raw

@MissXtreme_Kita: Raw was good 2nite. Punk/John segment
reminds me of Austin/McMahon. Intense! Loving it. #WWE #RAW

@Whovian_24: The fact of the matter is there will NEVER be
another 'Austin vs McMahon' like feud. @WWE #RAW

Mr. Belding drops in
“Hey,
hey, hey—what is going on here!?” Bayside High's favorite principal was spotted
behind the blabbering Michael Cole at the announce desk in Anaheim. Dennis
"Mr. Belding" Haskins himself from the teen TV sitcom sensation
"Saved By the Bell" got an up-close look at WWE's Zack and Kelly
(among others). He
even got passed up by Jericho in the middle of one of Y2J’s ringside parades.

An
acquaintance of Long Island Iced-Z and an active participant in the Ryder
Revolution, Haskins is clearly more beloved than Perez Hilton (who spoke with WWE.com in an exclusive interview), if you heard the
crowd or read a fraction of the tweets from Monday evening. But the cameo by
Belding (camera-mugging in the crowd like Kevin Nash when the Outsider first
arrived in WCW) raised a number of questions about his presence. Just because
we didn't see Miss Bliss or Mr.
Testaverde doesn't mean a Bayside invasion is out of the question.

@mrbelding: To all WWE fans! I hope you had as good a time
as I did tonight! Hats off to all of the great pros! Nothing but love! #RAW #grateful

@ThatGuyZo: Zak Morris: "Time out!" We got a Mr. Belding
sighting on @WWE #Raw! #savedbythebell

@SayJessay: Mr. Belding is ringside at #Raw. Haven't seen
him enjoy a wrestling match this much since the Bayside/Valley prank war.

@Jabotism: I wonder if Mr.Belding gave @IAmJericho detention
for walking out on the match tonight? #RAW

@PINFALLMagazine: Mr. Belding was left hanging by Jericho. #Raw

@Ivory_May: Haven't seen Perez Hilton in a while, wow, he
got slim ö.ö #WWE #RAW

@FrontRowBrian: Mr. Belding really is at #RAW. #WWE

@MarkinOut: Mr. Belding's rocking out behind Lawler &
Cole. #WWE #RAW

@Bill_Baconhill: Jericho leaving Mr. Belding hanging there
was hilarious. #raw

@Shar316: OMG it's Perez Hilton!! I love you, @PerezHilton
:) #Raw

@Divas_Champion: Forget Perez Hilton.Bring on Mr.Belding. #WWE
#Raw

@RTVWOW: @jimmykorderas @arda_ocal To be fair, Jericho did
point to Mr. Belding on #RAW

@IAmCalmMind: lol, Perez Hilton is getting booed. @WWE #Raw

@CesarDaSpawn: @mrbelding My eyes may have deceived me but I
taught i taugh Mr Belding on #Raw TV LIVE!!! I DID, I DID TAUGH Mr Belding on #Raw!!!

@R0BJohnson: Haha. Mr. Belding (who is in the front row at #Raw
wanted a high-five from Y2J but got left hangin lol

@Dejay11chris: Just saw Mr. Belding on #Raw. I really don't
want him to become GM though, when Laurinaitis is doing such a great job.

@CharlesShane: Jericho has even trolled Mr Belding live now @WWE
#Raw

@mandita_bandita: Lol! That is true! “@ROrtonsVoice: Is it
just me or does Perez Hilton look like a normal size Hornswoggle? #WWE #RAW”

Little Jimmy goes to Disney
Typically,
people go to Disney after a big win. R-Truth seemingly went weeks before the
30-Man Royal Rumble Match, presumably planning a trip to WrestleMania instead
of the Magic Kingdom. After meeting Mickey Mouse and others, the unbalanced
renegade tried to convince Wade Barrett that the "Barrage" wasn't
winning the over-the-top rope clash on Jan. 29, and Truth used his vacation pic
with Pinocchio to support his claim. (WATCH) In accord with a lie about Wade's Rumble
odds, the wooden puppet's nose grew as quickly as Barrett's anger.

Was
that even PG? Fortunately, enough of WWE fans' tweets were.

@_HeyMike: LOL R-Truth after Pinocchio's nose grows: "I
don't even know if that's PG" #WWE #RAW

@GaSportsCraze: Pinocchio tweet. RT @WWERawGM: My heart goes
out to @ZackRyder. Really unhappy with what went down on #RAW

@MrNashor: LOL. @RonKillings is hilarious. He had a talk
with Donald Duck and Pinocchio, and elephants can fly. #RAW

@caimart521: I wish R-Truth was a character you could meet
at Disney. #RAW
