March 16, 2009 - San Antonio, Texas
Announcers: Michael Cole & Jerry “The King” Lawler----------------------------------------------------------------
DARK MATCH: Mike Knox defeated “Hacksaw” Charlie Haas----------------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
The Undertaker & Shawn Michaels defeated John Bradshaw Layfield & Vladimir Kozlov: The match ended when the Undertaker was going in for the kill, but Shawn Michaels tagged himself in and levelled JBL with a super-kick and stole the win! Undertaker tried to give Michaels the big boot, but Shawn slipped out of the ring and retreated. Undertaker gave chase but Michaels disappeared behind the curtain. Undertaker stood at the top of the stage and looked back at the ring - but Shawn returned to the stage and whacked Undertaker with a stiff super-kick!
- Citação :
- Não é a melhor forma de marcar o novo campeão intercontinental, mas valeu a pena só pela mecânica Shawn / Taker. À falta de uma rivalidade mais pessoal, um invicto vs invicto não é má escolha.
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Edge & Vickie Guerrero: Vickie said the she felt horrible but Edge said he had a week to think about it and forgave Vickie. He claimed Big Show forced himself on her and went on and on and on about how strong he was. Edge said that the Big Show doesn’t love Vickie, he’s just using her to help advance his career. Edge said he got exactly what he wanted, and Vickie fell for it. Edge said what they (he and Vickie) had was real. Edge said he understands Big Show’s motivation but, blames John Cina for what happened last week. Vickie told Edge to go out there and take Cina out tonight - and if he lays one finger on her he will be out of the match at WrestleMania. Edge said nobody can take away what they have and started sucking face and Vickie.
RAW REBOUND: Triple H invades Randy Orton’s home last week and gets arrested after throwing Orton through the window onto the front lawn. Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler announced that Randy Orton had chosen not to press charges against Triple H.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW
Todd Grisham & Randy Orton: Todd Grisham asked Randy Orton why he decided not to press charges against Triple H. Orton said that Triple H was a maniac, broke into his house, and harassed his wife — adding she will never be the same. Orton said Triple H deserves to go to prison, but that debt is going to be paid at WrestleMania. Orton said it is going to be Orton’s law and he will pass sentence on Triple H.
SIX DIVA TAG TEAM MATCH
Melina Perez & Mickie James & Kelly Kelly defeated Beth Phoenix & Jillian Hall & Layla El w/Rosa Mendes: Santino Marella joined Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler on commentary for the match. He was hilarious, as usual. Lawler was euphoric while talking about the 25 Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania. The match ended with Melina once again pinning Beth Phoenix.
- Citação :
- É uma pena que não deixem a Layla entrar um único segundo. OK, a Jillian e a Kelly também não entraram, mas essas pelo menos ainda vão combatendo de vez em quando. O Battle Royal da WM25 parece-me pelo menos divertido. Agora só falta a WWE dar-lhe mais de 5 minutos.
SINGLES MATCH (TURNED INTO CAGE MATCH)
Triple H defeated Cody Rhodes (w/Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase): Just as the match was set to begin, Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase walked out to the stage to keep an eye on the match. Whenever Rhodes was in danger, they walked a little bit closer to the ring. That is, until Triple H found a sledge-hammer under the ring. Orton & DiBiase didn’t want to get into the ring while HHH had the weapon in his hands. Suddenly a steel cage was lowered onto the ring, thus allowing HHH to wrestle Cody Rhodes without interference from Orton & DiBiase. HHH dropped the weapon and the match officially started. HHH proceeded to pound on Rhodes, as Orton and DiBiase circled the cage trying to find a way in. HHH picked up the sledge-hammer and showed it to Orton, just before jamming it into the head of Rhodes - and scoring the 1-2-3 to win the match!
- Citação :
- Esta semana a rivalidade foi abaixo. Não faz sentido que Triple H não esteja preso. Não faz sentido que Orton tenha resolvido retirar as queixas. Não faz sentido que o Triple H possa mudar a estipulação de um combate a meio, com ou sem ajuda da Stephanie (como se perceberia mais tarde). Para além do mais, foi tudo mal executado e gastou demasiado tempo de programa. Podiam ter feito bem melhor.
SINGLES MATCH
Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler: - Citação :
- Combate sem sentido. Ziggler não merece ser jobber, deviam transferi-lo para a ECW o quanto antes. Lá provavelmente dar-lhe-ão mais valor. O Mysterio continua sem combate para o WM25. Ele contra o JBL pelo título intercontinental podia ser uma boa abertura de PPV.
IN THE RING
Chris Jericho + Ric Flair + Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka + Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat + Rowdy Roddy Piper: Chris Jericho said last week Ric Flair stole his chance at immortality and now he’s going to pay for it! Jericho said tonight is going to be his WrestleMania. Jericho said he was going to give Flair what he’s been waiting for, a chance to step back into the spotlight. Ric Flair came out and said he knows he could beat Jericho, but he is retired and no longer an active wrestler. Flair said he will not tarnish the great sendoff given to him a year ago. Flair said he cannot wrestle Jericho, but has found someone who can. Jimmy Snuka joined Ric Flair on stage, followed by Ricky Steamboat, and Rowdy Roddy Piper. The hall of famers went to the ring and surrounded Jericho. The legends entered the ring and Jericho started to squirm. Snuka, Steamboat, and Piper tackled Jericho, who quickly bailed out of the ring only to get smacked by Flair! Jericho stumbled up the ramp to safety..
- Citação :
- Gosto muito das promos semanais do Jericho e considero mesmo que ele tem feito um trabalho exemplar na sua rivalidade contra... ninguém em particular, mas este segmento não serviu para nada a não ser para provar que aqueles velhotes não deviam voltar a lutar. A ideia avançada mais tarde de um Handicap no WM25 é absurda, pelo que espero que definam de uma vez por todas e o mais depressa possível um bom oponente para o Jericho.
HIGHLIGHT REEL: WrestleMania 15..
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW
Todd Grisham: Chris Jericho whined about the legends messing up what was supposed to be his WrestleMania tonight. Jericho said he was going to challenge Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, and Roddy Piper to a match at WrestleMania. Jericho demanded that Ric Flair show up at WrestleMania to watch what he does to the legends. Jericho also invited Mickey Rourke to come to WrestleMania to watch him put Flair, Snuka, Steamboat, and Piper out of their misery.
SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH (MONEY IN THE BANK PARTICIPANTS)
C.M. Punk & Kofi Kingston & Montel Vontavious Porter defeated Kane & Shelton Benjamin & Mark Henry: Christian & Fit Finlay (w/Hornswoggle) joined Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler on commentary for the match.
- Citação :
- O Mark Henry realmente não devia sequer estar na mesma arena que os outros candidatos ao Money in the Bank...
MOVIE TRAILER: 12 Rounds, starring John Cena..
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Vickie Guerrero + The Big Show: Vickie Guerrero (wearing a referee shirt) found the Big Show in her office and asked what he was doing there. The Big Show told Vickie not to believe what Edge said. Big Show said it was Vickie who pursued him, and added that he was anatomically superior. Vickie got frustrated and didn’t know what to believe. Big Show said it was Edge who was taking advantage of Vickie, and took it one step further by marrying her. Big Show said Edge didn’t love Vickie, but he did - and planted a big kiss on Vickie’s lips! Big Show said Vickie looked very sexy in that (referee) shirt.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW
Todd Grisham & Triple H + Stephanie McMahon: Todd Grisham asked Triple H how he got Vickie Guerrero to co-operate with him and lower the cage. Triple H got into his truck and cameras found Stephanie McMahon sitting in the passenger seat..
SINGLES MATCH
World Heavyweight champion Edge vs. John Cena ended in a No Contest: RAW’s interim General Manager Vickie Guerrero was the special guest referee for the match. A few minutes into the match, Cena had Edge pinned but Vickie just stood there refusing to make the count. After a few more minutes, Cena did the “you can’t see me” to Vickie. Cena sent for the five-knuckle shuffle, but Vickie threw herself on top of Edge. Cena applied the STF on Edge, but Vickie put a weap STF onto Cena. The Big Show came down and helped Edge dismantle John Cena. They tied him in the ropes and Edge speared him! Vickie slapped Cena, as Big Show and Edge took turns taking shots at him until Cena was unconcious. Suddenly Edge decked the Big Show and raised his arms above his head to celebrate!
