12-30: SmackDown results: Barrett takes out Orton in brutal Falls Count Anywhere Match
INDIANAPOLIS – Not everyone got what he wanted from Santa. But
during the final SmackDown of 2011, some Superstars did indeed have their
holiday wishes come true. Wade Barrett finally earned retribution on Randy
Orton, taking him out of commission in a brutal Falls Count Anywhere Match. Booker
T got a title match with Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes. And, Big Show

Orton in a Falls Count Anywhere Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Wade Barrett and Randy Orton continued their intense rivalry in a brutal Falls
Count Anywhere Match. After waging war inside the ring, the action spilled outside,
where The Viper tossed Barrett over the announce table. As Orton continued
to pummel Barrett, he was shoved directly into the WWE ref, knocking him out
cold. Next, the two continued to fight it out among the WWE Universe.
The vicious battle then carried over into the locker room area
of the Conseco Fieldhouse, where there was no WWE official present. The battle
even waged on inside an elevator! But when their fight took them to the top of
a staircase, it was Orton who ended up at the bottom. At first Barrett started
down the stairs to approach Orton, but then backed away and exited through an
arena door as The Viper laid motionless on the stair landing. When will WWE’s Apex
Predator return to action? (MORE ON ORTON’S CONDITION)

Close Friend Of John Cena Reveals His Feelings On Being Booed Every Week
“We talked about that on [November 14, 2011] and I asked him. A lot of the fans say, “John’s not great, and he’s only got a certain amount of moves,” Barrett says.
“The Rock [left WWE] and John took over. He just told me, “I don’t take it personally, so you don’t either. It’s a job.” Me, I was bothered because the people booed him to death [on Raw]. Rock got a standing ovation. Who knows? John might take a back seat for a while.
“People got tired of Michael Jordan always winning, the Green Bay Packers too. They want different champions, like Lennox Lewis in boxing. It’s our nature to want a changing of the guard. Maybe [Cena] needs to take a back seat, then rise up again in a year or two.”

Notes From Madison Square Garden WWE House Show

– John Cena and Kane competed in a match last night. Like their previous bouts at live events and dark matches, the match ended in a disqualification after Kane ended the short match by hitting Cena with a steel chair. Kane left the ring but came back only to get caught up in an Attitude Adjustment finisher by Cena.
– FCW World Champion Leo Kruger was in attendance last night and lost to Alex Riley. Kruger caught a heel promo before the match. The match didn’t seem to get over with the crowd with many people describing it as being “flat” and “dull.”
