-Match: Cara v. Henry
An unusually serviceable match from these two. Cara is a couple of flippy doos short.
Rating: 78
-Henry says that tonight is his first step on the road to reclaiming his title. Orton interrupts and says Henry had his chance at EC and needs to get in the back of the line. Orton didn't even get into the Chamber!
Rating: 85
-MitB Qualifier Ladder: Yoshi v. Zeke v. Mordecai v. Young v. Hunico v. Husky
The less said, the better. Yoshi gets the win after bumping Young off the ladder.
Rating: 50
-Chavo is very excited, because he already knows what he's doing at WM, and when he wins MitB, it will finally be his time to shine! For tonight, though, he gets a chance to make a statement alongside his buddy, IC Champ Cody Rhodes.
Rating: 81
-Non-title: Harts v. Chavo and Cody
They do indeed make a statement. Neither team is willing to give up the win, and in fact the finish comes when Chavo hits a suicide dive, taking himself and both Harts out long enough for the match to be ruled a double countout.
Rating: 74
-Match: Sheamus/Bryan v. Awesome Truth
The champ and Mr. MitB have their opponents on the ropes, but the ref bumps, and Christian runs in to destroy Sheamus with a chair! Bryan's not quite up to dealing with the double team, and Awesome Truth get the win.
Rating: 86
Poor psychology
-Awesome Truth and Laurinitis have an idea. Taker has no opponent for Wrestlemania! Awesome Truth think they can take him, if he's man enough to roll with both of them at once! Taker 'ports in to blow them both off and leave.
Rating: 95
Post-show: Orton talks Taker into a tag match (83); Taker/Orton d. Awesome Truth (75)
Overall: 78 FAILURE lol angles
FROM THE BOOKERMAN
-Man, what was up with those undercard ratings? I expected the ladder match to suck, but the rest of those....geesh. And then Cara/Henry randomly does quite well. I expected a lot more out of the Harts/Chavo/Cody, too.
-man that Daniel Bryan fella is just so green he needs to learn some storytelling
-Wow, Truth only has a 71 in Psych. That could explain things, although I thought it was possible for one good psych score to carry something like that.
-I hate when TV networks and stuff take so long to get back to you that they miss the deadline. *sends request mid-month* *two and a half weeks later* "yeah we only negotiate in february you noob"
-My franchise players list is all heels again
NEWSWIRE
-Dusty Rhodes, Dory Funk Jr., and Jimmy Hart have all retired. Dusty's retirement means that FCW is now on the hunt for a new booker! I hope they get somebody who stops putting the belt on people like Mahal and Leavine.
-NWA got a fairly dismal 36. Watts/Scarceti in the ME was seen as a disappointment.
-No such luck with FCW, as Mahal retaining over Barreta led the way to a lackluster 43. The show also featured the debut of Kenneth Cameron and Leo Kruger as Team Chance.
-FCW's other show did even worse at 40. Mahal/Barreta had a slightly improved rematch, but the diva-centric undercard was pretty weak.
-Who will take up the book and bring FCW out of the slump? TULLY BLANCHARD.
-RoH "only" managed a 73 this week, despite a decent double main event of Yang/Strong and Lethal/Rhino for the TV title.
-Daniels is going to tour with NJPW.
-Homicide blew his ear drum in a match with one of the Maximos in ICW.
-Gargano and Kizarny have teamed up as the Demolition Crew, defeating the Spectral Envoy for the vacant Campeonatos de Parejas titles in their debut outing.
