From the Bob Devany Sports Center in Lincoln, Nebraska

Dark Match: Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu beat the New New Rockers (Nick and Matt Jackson) in 4:36 when Goldust defeated Nick Jackson by pinfall with a Golden Age. C

Dark Segment: a hype video was played, showing three mysterious men of different heights in black masks and bodysuits, as Night On Bald Mountain played. The video cut to black and the words THE MACHINES ARE COMING flashed onto the screen. A+

Dark Match: Luke Gallows beat The Great Khali in 3:32 by pinfall with a handful of tights. C+, there were complaints that not enough selling was shown.

The show began as Christian, ECW Champion, came out to cut a promo.

"William Regal and Batista came out here and said they are the most hardcore people in WWE. Now, all you Peeps know a ladder match veteran like me knows hardcore like the back of his hand. But I'm not here to talk about me. I'm here to talk about a good man who was put into a bad situation. That man is Tommy Dreamer, the man who INVENTED hardcore! Tommy Dreamer did not get a fair fight last week. He got a mugging, a gang beating from a suit-wearing coward and a man who says he's the one man wrestling encyclopedia, but wouldn't know Robbie Brookside from Tommy Cooper! And I want to fix that injustice, tonight! Let's see if Batista and William Regal strut so cockily when they don't have the numbers advantage!" B

Beth Phoenix beat Mickie James in 7:55 by count out. C+, Beth and Mickie do not click.

We cut backstage as Joey Styles interviews the Old Dragons, Jimmy Wang Yang and Jamie Noble.

"We ain't exactly spring chickens, but Jamie and I still know how to rock and roll! See, I'm a little bit country..."

"...and I'm ALSO a little bit country!" C+

Backstage, we see Paul Burchill and Lady Mary Killegrew Burchill sharing a bottle of rum and sloppily making out. B

Pirate Paul Burchill beat Shark Boy in 7:41 by submission with a Main Sail. C+

A short promo video was aired for the WWE Title match at the Royal Rumble. Sheamus was shown training in a run down boxing gym, while Kofi was shown doing endurance training and stretching. A

Christian and Tommy Dreamer beat #Villains(William Regal and Batista) in a Hardcore tag team match in 16:48 when Christian defeated Batista by pinfall with an Unprettier. A

After the match, Batista and Regal grab handcuffs and handcuff Christian to the post. Regal and Batista proceed to destroy Tommy Dreamer with kendo sticks while Christian is unable to help. B+

B, this show might have hurt our popularity.

The Machines Are Coming eh? Interesting.

Also, my one regret in any Kofi vs Shamus feud is that there's no way for Kofi to CROSS COUNTER the Brouge Kick with Trouble in Paradise.

WHY CAN'T THIS WORLD RUN ON VIDEO GAME/ANIME PHYSICS? IT'S SO CRUEL!

Does the game give any indication if Burchill's matches aren't going over because he's no good or because we're feeding him our very shittiest workers?

Smackdown - Tuesday, Week 2, January 2010
Announce team: Michael Cole and Matt Striker
From the Bob Devany Sports Center in Lincoln, Nebraska

Dark match: Edge drew with Christian in 17:36 following a double count out. A, they have great chemistry.

The show begins with Chris Jericho in the ring. "You know, Undertaker, I've fought a lot of guys, but I've never tapped out a guy your size. Well, thank goodness I got myself a match against your little brother tonight, so I can see just how much punishment those tree trunk legs will take, before they snap!" A+

Finlay and Great Khali beat the New New Rockers in 8:10 when Finlay defeated Nick Jackson by pinfall with a Celtic Cross. C

Abraham Washington interviews Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu about their upcoming match. Goldust is for some reason putting on a Dusty Rhodes voice.

"You know I ain't much for country muthic, daddy, but I been in mah fayuh shayuh of fahts in honky tonks, and I know how dem cats fight, and believe you me, thothe pleatha wearin washed up bah band wannabeth ain't pinnin the Tintheltown Dweeeem, NO WAY NO HOW, BAYYYYBEH!"

Yoshi Tatsu is simply confused by Goldust's accent. C

Alicia Fox and Beth Phoenix beat the Bella Twins in 7:32 when Alicia Fox defeated Nikki Bella by pinfall with a Spinning Heel Kick. B-, Alicia was off her game, but she and Beth make a great team. The match suffered because not enough selling was shown.

Hype video for Raw: "When Randy Orton and Legacy bear down on the challenger for the WWE Championship, can Kingston survive a Viper's Strike?" A

The Old Dragons beat Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust in 12:37 when Jamie Noble defeated Yoshi Tatsu by submission after blatantly cheating. C+

Lady Mary Killigrew Burchill and Pirate Paul Burchill came out to the ring and Lady Mary began to cut a promo.

"There ain't a scurvy dog on this show that can beat my Paul! An' if a man in here thinks they can, I dare 'em to walk the plank with The Pirate Paul Burchill!" C+

Pirate Paul Burchill beat R-Truth in 4:41 by pinfall when Lady Mary Killigrew Burchill interfered. C+, Lady Mary did good work at ringside.

Hype video for next week's ECW. "With the Royal Rumble only days away, Tommy Dreamer faces Batista in a hardcore rules match for a spot in the Royal Rumble! Can the Innovator of Violence defeat The Animal?" B+

Matt Hardy beat Vladimir Kozlov in 7:50 by pinfall with a Side Effect. C+, They have no chemistry.

CM Punk and Luke Gallows come to the ring, and CM Punk begins to speak.

"When I come out here and look into these crowds, I see a people yearning for redemption. I see the hollow eyes of haunted men and women pining for a savior to soothe their souls. I see junkies and drunks and smokers who clambered here in their mottled, broken carcasses out of some far flung hope that they can find a way out, and I truly believe that I can be that way out. I can be your savior, you just need to trust in me! I can deliver you from your vices, I can be your strength in weakness, just trust in me!"

Chris Masters' music plays, and he walks down to the ring. He stares down Punk for a while, before falling to one knee.

"Punk, I have a secret I just can't hide anymore. For years, I've been polluting my veins with junk, gas, juice, STEROIDS! I'm a juicer and I... I just want to stop! Please, Punk!"

Masters breaks down into tears, and Punk falls to a knee, and begins to comfort him.

"I'm glad you trusted me with this. I know you must be feeling so weak right now, but trust me. Trust me, and I will be your strength. Now repeat after me...

I pledge allegiance..." "I pledge allegiance..."

"To the flag..." "to the flag..."

"of the Straight Edge Society." "of the Straight Edge Society."

"And to the philosophy..." "And to the philosophy..."

"for which it stands." "for which it stands."

"One nation, Under Punk" "One nation, Under Punk"

"Indivisible." Masters can barely be heard through his tears. "Indivisible."

Masters, Punk, Gallows, and no small portion of the audience say the next line in unison.

"With integrity and sobriety for all."

"Now get up, and be born anew... Andrew Masters."

Masters and Punk rise to their feet. As Luke Gallows sits Andrew Masters in the barber's chair to shave his head, Punk begins to speak.

"Do you see? Do you finally see? The Straight Edge lifestyle is the only road to inner peace, and the longer you deny that, the longer you will remain mired in your own sloth and addiction!" B-

Michelle McCool beat Maria in 2:44 by count out. C+

Josh Matthews interviewed the Hart Foundation.

"We're gonna get those tag team titles if we have to kick DX to Sasketchewan and back to get 'em! And why's that, Dave?"

"BECAUSE WE'AH BIZZZAH!"

"No, because we're Canadian! Because we're Harts! Because we're family!" C+

Chris Jericho beat Kane in 12:35 by submission with a Walls Of Jericho. A, they have good chemistry, but there was not enough selling shown.

After the match, Jericho keeps the Walls of Jericho in and refuses to stop. The lights go off, the lights come on, and Undertaker is in the ring with the belt, right in front of Jericho. Taker floors him with the belt, and does the throat cut motion to end Smackdown. A+

"In 6 days, the WWE Championship will be defended at the Royal Rumble. And I'm not in that match. I'm not in that match because some dreadlocked upstart was able to talk his way into a number one contendership match! Kofi Kingston does not DESERVE number one contendership! What does he have?

Should Edge return at the Rumble?

Question 2: If Edge returns at the Royal Rumble, who should he feud with?
Matt Hardy
Kane
Shelton Benjamin
Santino

Question 3: Should Edge change his gimmick, or keep his current Rated R Superstar gimmick?
Slut - Edge is the wrong gender for this gimmick, and will need to be off TV for 56 days for it to be fully effective.
Male Stripper - Edge is too old for this gimmick, and the same period applies.
Martial Artist - He has all the requirements for this gimmick, and he will not have to be off TV for any time to be effective.
Nuclear Man - This gimmick has only medium effectiveness.
Yakuza - Edge would have to be off TV for 56 days for this to be effective.
That 80s Guy - This gimmick has only medium effectiveness.
He should stay with his current gimmick
Other:

Question 4: El Hijo De Store Brand
El Generico does not want to sell the rights to the El Generico gimmick. Creative has agreed to use a similar, but legally distinct gimmick, but they haven't thought of a name. What should El Generico's new name be?

Question 5: Booking T

A graphic is shown hyping Batista versus Tommy Dreamer in a hardcore match for a spot in the Royal Rumble. B+

William Regal and Christian had a contract signing for their match at the Royal Rumble. Once the contracts are signed, Regal begins to speak.
"Well, that's done and dusted. And Christian, once I've taken this gaudy piece of jewelry from you, I'll be sure to replace it with something a little more dignified. Toodle-oo."

Regal begins to leave, but once Christian's back is turned, Batista runs out from the timekeeper's area and they both start to beat down on Christian, before Tommy Dreamer runs in and makes the save. They all brawl to the back. B+, Regal underperformed.

Mickie James beat Rosa Mendes for a shot at Michelle McCool's Women's title in 2:32 by pinfall with a Mickie-T. C+, Mickie James could use something to freshen up her character.

CM Punk, accompanied by Andrew Masters and Luke Gallows, came out and cut a promo.
"The Tag Team Champions, the sophmoric, small-minded, and aged D-Generation X has been showing cracks as of late, and we all know why. It's no secret that Shawn Michaels has been a drug user in the past, indulging in painkillers, alcohol, and all manner of morally corrosive substances. He claims he's improved, he claims he's found religion, but I know he's weak. Him and his buddy Triple H have always been weak, so they've retreated into toilet humor and sexual puns to hide their shame in their degeneracy! My Straight Edge Society doesn't need drugs, they don't need potty humor, they don't need to hide their weakness, because I am their strength! And with me as their strength, Andrew Masters and Luke Gallows will capture the Tag Team titles in the name of Straight Edge!"

They all recite the SES Pledge before leaving. A, Masters and Gallows performed poorly.

The Big Show beats The Undertaker(w/Paul Bearer) in 12:35 when The Undertaker was counted out after being attacked by Chris Jericho. B+, not enough selling was shown.

As he stands above The Undertaker, Chris Jericho begins to laugh, before Paul Bearer interrupts.
"Chris Jericho, you may laugh now, but at the Royal Rumble, my Undertaker will chill your soul, and you may never be the same again!" Bearer lifts the urn, the Undertaker sits up, and Smackdown goes off the air as Jericho reacts in horror. B, Paul Bearer performed poorly.

B, Shark Boy was used too much.

Royal Rumble Kickoff: William Regal answered letters from the WWE Universe.
"Let me just get my reading glasses on, I'm not exactly the youngest of men, you understand. Ah, here we are. 'Dear Mister Regal-' Ah, already a problem. Mister Regal was my father. Call me Sir. 'Dear Mister Regal, I'm currently preparing for a job interview and would like some advice on what to wear to properly impress my prospective employer. Sincerely, Michael from Central City, MO.' Well, Michael, I haven't had to apply for a job that didn't involve singlets and combat since Margaret Thatcher was still in office, but I think I can still give you some pointers. First, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. That's why you see me in those elegant robes all the time. Second, give great consideration to your use of color. I'm particularly fond of gold and purple, as they're very... regal colors, if I do say so myself. Finally, hide a pair of brass knuckles somewhere on your person. That's just an everyday guideline, but it should prove very useful in this situation as well. Thank you very much, Michael, and I hope you find success inside that most villainous institution of all, global capitalism." B

A hype video recapped the Regal/Christian feud. B+

William Regal defeated Christian to win the ECW Championship in 21:48 by pinfall with a Knee Trembler. During the match we also had Batista run in and attack Christian. A

We cut backstage during an argument between DX.

"NO, HUNTER, WHY WON'T YOU? I KEEP TELLING YOU THIS IS WHAT I WANT, THAT I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN DO, AND YOU JUST WON'T LISTEN!"

"But this isn't what it was supposed to be! We were supposed to retire together, years from now! D-Generation X, sailing off into the sunset as a team!"

"Hunter, DX just isn't in me anymore! You may be able to go out there and play around, but that's just not something I can do anymore! Every time I go out there, I put my back on the line again. I was out for 5 years before, and I don't want something like that again! And if you can't see past your fantasies to see my pain, I don't even know how you can call yourself my friend!"

"Come on, Shawn, don't be like that..."

"Lana look," Rusev pointed out to the screen, "Pinkie Pie just scared Twilight Sparkle shitless! I love America and shit they put on TV!"
I wonder if we could get ahold of Claudio Castagnoli. Chikara doesn't seem to be doing anything worthwhile with him.

You know what, probably. I'll check his popularity, and after Raw I'll post another Board Meeting with some dross to cut and some possible hires.

"Last Sunday, in the Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels broke my heart. He doesn't seem to care about his friendship, about our partnership! He's just leaving!"

Shawn Michaels came out to rebut.
"Hunter, I do care about you, I do care about our partnership, and I do care about you as my best friend. But you don't seem to care about me. You don't seem to care that I'm 44 years old. I'm too old for this, Hunter. I'm too old to gallivant around with you, chopping our crotches and all that nonsense. I'm not abandoning you, I just want to rest, Hunter."

Suddenly, Raw GM Shane McMahon's theme hit.
"Well, looks like we got a problem on our hands. You see, You may be leaving, but the WWE Tag Team Titles are going to stay right here. And I've made drat sure of that by booking you in a 4 way tag team title match with...
CRYME TIME!

A

Edge cut a promo on Matt Hardy.
"At the Royal Rumble, I had a shot at greatness, but I fell just short. And I blame that all on one man: Matt Hardy. Yeah, Matt, I saw you dump me over those ropes, and I know why you did it to me in particular, and no, it's not because of Lita. You're jealous that you've never beaten me in the match we helped create: T.L.C. Well, I got a little proposition for ya, because Wrestlemania's coming up. We can have one last TLC match. I say last because I want this to be not just a TLC match, but a LOSER LEAVES WWE MATCH! Yeah, if you beat me, you get the man who stole your girlfriend, or fiance, or whatever it was you two were, out of your life and out of this company. But if I win, I never have to see your ugly clothes, look at that awful beard, or hear your dumbass theme song ever again. So how bout it?" A
