There will be no I Love Money : WWE this Issue due to personal reasons again. Instead of taking requests for my matches, I will write the matches done on WWE & TNA... my way.
Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella vs. Rosa Mendes vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Jillian Hall vs. Mickie James
The following is a Divas Battle Royal for the number one contendorship for the Divas Championship.
Introducing first, from Jacksonvlle Florida, Kelly Kelly!
From Scotsdale Arizona, Bria and Nikki, The Bella Twins!
Making their way to the ring, Rosa Mendes and the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!
From Louisville Kentucky, Jillian Hall!
And from Richmond Virginia, Mickie James!
Ding Ding!
All Divas circled around the ring. Rosa and Beth ran towards the twins and knocked them down with clotheslines. Jillian and Mickie were entangled in a corner. Kelly Kelly took Rosa by the hair and threw her over the ropes, but Rosa held on! Beth, from behind, grabbed Kelly by the arms and lifted her. She then dropped Kelly on her face. Glam Slam. The twins then turned Beth around to face them and they both jumped with a double dropkick. Jillian was pressing her elbow in Mickie's face in the corner. Jillian then backed out of the corner, pointed to the crowd, screamed at the top of her lungs and went for a cartwheel, but Mickie lifted her legs and caught Jillian's head between her legs. Even if Jillian wasn't facing her, she went for a hurracanrana. Jillian was almost injured with that move. Rosa was still on the apron and the twins speared her out of the ring. Rosa Mendes is eliminated. The twins turned around just to see Mickie running towards them ready to eliminate them both, but the twins threw Mickie over their shoulder. Mickie barely grabbed on the ropes to save herself. Beth was back on her feet and ran towards Mickie to eliminate her, but the twins stepped in front of Beth. Beth pushed them both aside making Brie fall out of the ring. Brie Bella is eliminated. Mickie was back in the ring. Kelly was finally back up to make a comeback on Beth. Before Kelly could even make a move on Beth, Jillian was on her feet and she speared Kelly out of the ring eliminating herself at the same time. Kelly Kelly and Jillian Hall are eliminated. Beth looked at both Mickie and Nikki. Mickie and Nikki both nodded at each other and they circled Beth. Then, they tried for a double clothesline on Beth's sides (ouch) but Beth moved and they hit themselves. Beth picked up Nikki and threw her over the ropes. Nikki Bella is eliminated. When Beth prepares to pick up Mickie, she meets with a kick to the head and a gut kick by Mickie. Mickie puts Beth's head under her arm and jumps. DDT!! Mickie rolls Beth to the side of the ring, and pushes Beth out of the ring.
Here is your winner and the number one contendor for the Divas Championship, Mickie James!
Christy Hemme Update
At the beginning of the year, Christy Hemme was in the midst of a big push. She was booked for a match against Awesome Kong at the Genesis pay per view.
Unfortunately, though, she wasn't able to make it to the match. Christy Hemme had suffered a seriously neck injury while training with AJ Styles for the match.
She has been out ever since. Rumors have been circulating here and there about her potential return. However, nothing has come from it.
In a recent interview, Christy Hemme gave an update on her condition. The following is what she had to say.
Quote:
"I opted not to have neck surgery because I don't like the idea of fusing bones together when you can heal it naturally. I haven't wrestled since November and I'm feeling really good and getting a lot stronger and waiting it out until I can get back in the ring."
Replacing Jeff Hardy
As most of you know by now, Jeff Hardy is planning on leaving WWE when his contract expires in a few weeks. Since he's one of the most popular superstars in the entire industry, it's going to be pretty difficult for WWE to fill in the void that will obviously be left by his departure. While it's highly unlikely that the company is going to be able to find a replacement that will be as popular as Jeff Hardy, the company still needs to put someone in his position.
Everyone knows that the Undertaker is the biggest babyface on the Smackdown brand (perhaps even in the entire WWE). As long as he's around, he'll own that spot. It's the #2 babyface spot that's going to be difficult. Jeff Hardy is widely regarded as the #2 babyface on Smackdown. He's leaving, which means that WWE now has to elevate someone else on the roster into the spot.
Members of WWE management right now are looking through the roster to see how they can fill the #2 babyface spot on Smackdown. Below are the possible candidates.
Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio's popularity is undeniable. However, Vince McMahon is hesitant to push him as the #2 guy because of injury concerns.
CM Punk
Despite the fact that he has a couple of enemies in management, CM Punk is regarded as someone that is capable of filling that #2 spot. Management will try to push him in the upcoming weeks to see what he can do.
John Morrison
Management recently turned John Morrison into a babyface. They think that he could possibly be built into the #2 spot (and potentially the #1 spot).
Batista
Management is seriously considering sending Batista back to Smackdown to fill that role. He's a good choice in that he can fill the #1 spot as well if Undertaker is injured or taking time off.
Big Show
WWE is toying around with the idea of turning Big Show back into a babyface and sending him back to Smackdown. The seeds are there for a full blown feud between Edge and the Big Show.
Matt Hardy
Even though he's been pretty good as a heel, Matt Hardy is still a potential choice to go back to Smackdown as a babyface. Turning him wouldn't be that difficult. He just has to make up with Jeff Hardy. WWE really should put Matt Hardy in the #2 spot to see if he can actually do it or not.
Haas/JBL Start New Business
Smackdown superstar Charlie Haas has partnered up with former WWE star JBL for a new business venture.
The two have opened up a website called CustomMuscle.com, which sells a variety of fitness products. Charlie Haas, who is the CEO of Custom Muscle, has a nutrition store down in Frisco, Texas.
JBL recently left WWE to focus more on his outside business ventures.
ECW Ratings
0.93. That was the television ratings that ECW managed to score this week. It's barely below the point (.95) to where people can round it up to a 1.0. While that number is still better than a lot of the other shows that are on the Sci Fi Network, it's pretty low for ECW. Since the inception of the show June of 2006, ECW has been able to maintain ratings that are higher than 1.0 (with a couple of exceptions). The low ECW ratings have caused a bit of concern in the company.
Earlier in the month, Vince McMahon addressed the ECW ratings during the annual shareholders meeting. While he praised how ECW was being used, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the ratings for the weekly television show. The show, which is seen in several countries around the world, has been used to give television time to wrestlers that would be lost in the shuffle on Raw or Smackdown. While that concept may help the company in the long term, it is hurting them in the short term (in regards to the ratings, that is).
The lower ECW ratings comes at an especially bad time for a couple of wrestlers. When things are good, the champion gets the credit. Conversely, when things are bad, the blame falls on the shoulder of the man carrying the belt. While Christian was wrestling in TNA, a lot of WWE fans criticized him by stating that he wasn't capable of being "the lead guy in the big leagues". Rumors have also persisted over the last few months that Vince McMahon did not have faith in Christian as a headliner. While being the ECW champion is a far cry from being a headliner, it was a good opportunity for Christian to prove the critics and Vince McMahon wrong. Whether it's fair or not, it's hard for him to put up an argument when the ratings are dropping just as he's carrying the belt around his shoulder. The low ratings are also a bad sign for Jack Swagger, who is currently playing the role of #1 contender on the brand. It's been said that the company was losing faith in Jack Swagger when he was the ECW Heavyweight Champion. With ratings still declining and Jack Swagger in the main program, it doesn't say much for him either.
A lot of fans are choosing to ignore the problem by coming up with an excuse for WWE. "The economy is really bad, so the ratings are obviously going to go down." To be honest, that's a pretty lame excuse. Ratings for other television shows (including TNA iMPACT!) have been doing just fine despite the slumping economy.

TNA Signs Storm
For the next two years, when James Storm clocks in for work, he'll be doing so at the TNA offices (aka arenas) around the country.
The 12 year veteran has signed a brand new contract to remain with TNA for another two years. His contract was set to expire pretty soon, and there was considerable interest from WWE for James Storm.
However, James Storm decided that the best thing for his career was to remain with TNA. Over the last few months, he and Robert Roode have developed into one of the most entertaining acts in all of professional wrestling.
Lashley Wins
Bobby Lashley defeated veteran Mike Cook in this third ever MMA fight. The match lasted less than 30 seconds.
Lashley Discusses WWE Release
In a recent interview, Bobby Lashley discussed his departure from WWE.
The former ECW Heavyweight Championship still cannot reveal the full details of his departure from WWE. When he left WWE, he signed a deal with them stating that he can receive a full release from the company if he agreed to not reveal why he left (WWE also agreed to not say anything bad about Bobby Lashley either).
The belief is that Bobby Lashley left WWE because of Michael Hayes, who was the Smackdown head writer at the time. Things must have been extremely bad considering WWE was willing to allow Bobby Lashley to have the freedom to sign with TNA.
When asked about the confidentiality clause, Bobby Lashley responded by saying, "That's the million dollar question, and it'll cost me a million dollars to answer it."
WWE Drops Great American Bash
WWE has decide to drop the Great American Bash.
Don't panic, though. They just dropped the name. The annual pay per view event will continue to take place. The difference is that it will now just be called "The Bash".
No reasons have been given for the change in the name. The change is also official as cable companies have been given notification of the change from WWE.
Chris Jericho's Backstage Power
When wrestling fans think of backstage power, several people come to mind. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Michelle McCool and the Undertaker all come to mind. Of course, there's also a handful of naive fans that still believe that Theodore Long and Vickie Guerrero have any actual backstage power (they have none). The new name surging up the list of wrestlers who have backstage power is Chris Jericho.
Chris Jericho has been given a lot of powers backstage. There's a couple of reasons why the company has granted him so much more freedom. When the former ECW Television Champion first came back from a 2 year hiatus, there was a lot more hype than actual delivery. The return felt like it had fizzled after a few weeks in. Chris Jericho was determined to have a great run, though. Slowly, the former WCW Cruiserweight Champion began to be more and more entertaining. He stepped up to an entirely different level when he turned heel. WWE began giving Chris Jericho more and more backstage power while he was putting on superb programs with Batista and Shawn Michaels, who happens to be a guy with a ton of backstage power. During those two feuds, Chris Jericho was able to come up with storyline changes. He was also allowed to come up with the scripts for the promos that were being delivered. After his switch to Smackdown during the recent Draft Lottery, Chris Jericho has been able to retain his backstage power.
Upon making his way over to Smackdown, Chris Jericho almost immediately began petitioning to be placed in a program with Rey Mysterio. While the two have feuded before (Chris Jericho's first feud as a heel in WCW was against Rey Mysterio), they haven't been placed against one another recently. Chris Jericho is aware of that. He's also aware that in order to keep himself entertaining, he needs to be placed in programs that don't feel stale (i.e. John Cena vs Big Show). That's one of the reasons why he chose to feud with Rey Mysterio. Another reason why he chose to work with Rey Mysterio is because he wanted to see if he could produce another match of the year candidate. With Rey Mysterio being a veteran in-ring performer, he was as good of a choice as anyone else. A feud with with the masked superstar also has the dual benefit of being able to elevate Rey Mysterio. There are plenty of opportunities to elevate yourself by elevating others on the brand.
The belief is that Chris Jericho will be jockeying for a program against the Undertaker. Despite being in the same company for quite some time, the two have never feuded before. Undertaker has even more backstage power than Chris Jericho. However, the veteran knows full well that Chris Jericho is more than capable of scripting together a good feud between the two. The Undertaker would more than likely step aside in the creative process there. The feud has a chance to be legendary, so it might be best to save it for Wrestlemania 26.
WWE vs. Denver Nuggets
Vince McMaho has fired some shots (not literally, though) at the owner of the Denver Nuggets.
WWE was originally booked at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado next Monday night for an episode of Monday Night Raw.
However, the company is being forced to scramble at the last minute to find another venue. With just 7 days to go, WWE is going to have to do something to satisfy every single person that paid for a ticket (the event is sold out).
Vince McMahon expressed his frustration by taking a shot at Stan Kroenke, who owns both the Denver Nuggets and the Pepsi Center. The following is what he had to say.
Quote:
"Even though the Denver Nuggets had a strong team this year and were projected to make the playoffs, obviously Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke did not have enough faith in his own team to hold the May 25 date for a potential playoff game."
Kurt Angle Dancing
If things go well, then we could be seeing Kurt Angle dancing around on the television screen.
Reports have surfaced that the producers of Dancing With The Stars, a reality TV show where celebrities and athletes perform various dances, have contacted Kurt Angle and his people about being a participant next season.
The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has repeatedly stated that he is looking forward to becoming a movie or television star after his wrestling days are over. Taking part in this show would enable him (and TNA) to gain more exposure.

Awesome Kong's Drawing Power
Awesome Kong continues to impress everyone with her ability to draw in ratings.
The former TNA Knockouts Champion was able to secure a 1.37 rating during her match against Kip James. That was the highest rated segment of TNA iMPACT! last week.
The 1.37 rating is twice as impressive when you consider that it went up against the NBA playoffs game between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. That game was the most watched NBA game ever in ESPN history.
WWE executives were fully aware of Awesome Kong's drawing power. The belief is that the company wanted to sign her to hinder the overall ratings for TNA iMPACT!
Cheap Slammiversary Tickets
TNA has announced that they will be selling some tickets to this year's Slammiversary for just $7.
The event, which is being held on June 21, 2009, will be the 7th anniversary of the Slammiversary pay per view. The $7 tickets are a part of the marketing ploy to celebrate the anniversary.
Slammiversary is being held at the Palace at Auburn Hills (Detroit, Michigan) this year. Since the place holds over 20,000 people, TNA is trying to fill up the place as much as possible.
TNA is also citing the poor economy as the reason to offer cheap tickets. The aim is to make it look like a stimulus package for wrestling fans.
Down on the Divas
Things sure have changed for the divas. There was a time when the divas division was more important than the tag team division and midcard (WWE IC and US titles) division. The company made sure that the divas were a weekly priority. Now, though, they're an afterthought. Vince McMahon has lost almost all of his faith in the divas and has decided to focus on the other divisions instead. Don't believe me? Take a look at the past few pay per views and see how many diva matches have been on there. Keep in mind that there was a time when every single pay per view had at least one divas match. Still don't believe me? Take a look at how many pay per view title matches over the last year that have involved the WWE Divas Championship or the WWE Women's Championship. Like I've said, they're an afterthought now.
The reason why Vince McMahon is down on the divas is because of their performances. He simply does not feel that they're living up to the standards that he wants. There's been a lot of sloppy matches between the divas as of late. The selling point of a divas match isn't the actual wrestling itself, but Vince McMahon doesn't want to tolerate sloppiness. Matches that don't involve Mickie James or Gail Kim are highly likely to have several mistakes. Vince McMahon also does not believe that the female characters are truly connecting with the audience. A lot of the divas are just bland and don't necessarily stand out.
Personally, I don't understand why this comes as a surprise to anyone. With the way WWE has built up their female division, it was bound to get to this point. For the longest time, WWE scouted models instead of actual wrestlers. They signed attractive women and tried to teach them to become wrestlers. Nothing against these gales, but they're just not going to be nearly as passionate about the industry as some of the women wrestlers who had to work the independent circuit for chump change. A performer like Cherry gets released from the company because she didn't have the desired look. It's a shame that most fans will never know just how talented of a worker that she was (she spent years wrestling before joining WWE). A lot of people don't know this, but Jillian Hall actually was wrestling well before she signed a deal with WWE. Her in-ring skills are pretty underrated. Most people don't even notice them because they just focus on her singing character.
One of the ways that WWE might possibly solve the problem is to bring in some new divas. However, don't go looking at photoshoots, football sidelines, escort agencies, reality TV shows, strip clubs, Playboy magazines, etc. for them. Scour the independent wrestling circuit. There's some solid performers out there that look pretty good. Hell, it wouldn't hurt to try to lure some of the TNA Knockouts over either. WWE just needs to find more performers like Mickie James and Gail Kim. Performers like Melina Perez and Beth Phoenix would be good to find as well.
Raw Moves
Unable to resolve the issue with the Pepsi Center, Vince McMahon has decided to move Raw to Los Angeles next week.
Ric Flair Returns FUCK!!! No offense to the Flair lovers. I'm not one.
Will he return? That's the big question that has been on the minds of every wrestling fans over the last few days. The Nature Boy is once again the topic of interest in professional wrestling. At the Judgment Day pay per view this past Sunday, WWE managed to surprise the fans with an unannounced return of Ric Flair, the legendary former NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Ric Flair made a surprising appearance to save Batista, who was being pummeled by the Legacy trio of Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, and Randy Orton. The surprise appearance was accompanied almost immediately by reports that Ric Flair had come to an agreement with WWE to make a short comeback.
Rumors have been flying around that Ric Flair has developed the itch to return to the wrestling ring; the very same ring that he said goodbye to in March of 2008. Ric Flair reportedly contacted WWE about returning to the ring. He stated that he would like to start wrestling again if he had the blessings of certain people in the company (one of whom is Shawn Michaels). The company decided to listen because they'd much rather have him wrestling in WWE than in another company. Ring of Honor and TNA would both love to feature a match with Ric Flair. The marketing potential behind that would be enormous. There are also wrestling promotions from around the world that have expressed interest in doing a match with Ric Flair (interestingly enough, Sean Waltman is being considered as a potential opponent). The latest rumor right now has Ric Flair signing a deal to return to WWE for a few months as a wrestler.
A lot of people are against the idea of Ric Flair wrestling again because they're afraid that he's going to tarnish things by doing so. I take a slightly different approach. We all know that Terry Funk has returned from retirement at least a dozen times (a month). These returns have done nothing to tarnish my memories of him. In fact, these returns have become a part of his legacy. If Ric Flair returned to the ring, it won't tarnish his legacy either. He's still going to be one of the greatest world champions of all time. He's still going to be regarded as one of the most entertaining guys of all time. The thing that will get tarnished is that retirement celebration that WWE threw for him. If you're really worried about that being tarnished, keep in mind that Ric Flair has publicly stated that he didn't choose to retire. The company forced it upon him. They wanted to use it as a marketing tool.
High Hopes For The Harts
When WWE decided on bringing up David Hart Smith and pairing him up with Tyson Kidd and Natalya Neidhart, they weren't expecting much.
They were pleasantly surprised.
The crowd reaction to David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd attacking Finlay last week simply was a lot better than what management was expecting. It actually caught a few people off guard.
Management now hopes that the three of them can develop enough chemistry and momentum so that they can eventually be moved to Raw or Smackdown.
With Natalya Neidhart being able to actually take bumps, she should be pretty effective as a heel manager. Tyson Kidd will be the mouthpiece for the trio, and David Hart Smith will provide the muscles.
Making Miz A Star
Remember how Shawn Michaels was appointed a future singles superstar when he was with Marty Jannetty? Well, that prediction came through. However, most people overlooked Marty Jannetty, who ended up proving that he was a capable worker on his own (had his demons not gotten the best of him, he probably would have been a bigger star). People were wrong. Remember how everyone pegged "Wildcat" Chris Harris as a future main event wrestler while he was teaming with "Cowboy" James Storm? Well, Chris Harris ended up leaving TNA and going to WWE for an extremely brief stint. He is now ridiculed by wrestling fans while James Storm is involved in one of the most popular acts in all of wrestling. People were wrong. Remember when everyone predicted that John Morrison was going to be the one to break out and become a singles star while he was teaming with the Miz? Well, people might be wrong. As hard as it is for some of you to imagine, the Miz might end up becoming a bigger star than John Morrison.
While John Morrison and the Miz were becoming a popular duo in ECW, they were given an online segment called The Dirt Sheet. It was an entertaining show that produced some good laughs. Since he was involved in the project, John Morrison was given credit for having a good sense of humor and having some charisma. If you go back and look at those segments again, pay close attention and you'll see that the Miz was the one that was behind the comedy. He's the one with the sense of humor and charisma. If you'll notice, since the two split up and were placed on separate brands, only one of them has been given a good amount of mic time. There's a reason behind that.
Casual wrestling fans all believe that John Morrison is head and shoulders above the Miz. They're unable to see past the surface. John Morrison has a lot of flashy, high flying moves. Things like that are more than enough to blind the casual wrestling fan into believing that the wrestler is a great in-ring performer. If you strip away those flashy moves, then you're left with a guy that is borderline average in the ring. Nothing against John Morrison, but he relies way too much on the acrobatic moves. He needs to show more of the fundamental stuff. Despite the fact that he came into the company through a reality TV show, the Miz has developed into a fundamentally sound wrestler. The guy was trained by Al Snow and Bill DeMott, two guys who are heralded as trainers. The Miz is no Ricky Steamboat, but he's not horrible in the ring either. While the two were a tag team, John Morrison provided the flash, but the Miz provided the fundamental.

TNA Sacrifice 2009
It's great when pay per views follow a theme.
The Royal Rumble is all about 30 men getting into the ring to see who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania.
Wrestlemania is the biggest show of the year, and it is treated as such.
The Survivor Series used to be about wrestlers teaming up to go against another team.
Lockdown is the annual TNA event where every match is held inside of a steel cage.
The Invasion pay per view was where wrestlers from WCW and ECW came to battle the WWE stars.
WCW held at 3 ring battle royale featuring 60 wrestlers in an event that was suitably called World War III.
This year's TNA Sacrifice 2009 pay per view will follow that particular tradition of being a themed pay per view. In the main event, Sting, Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle will all challenge for Mick Foley's TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The champion isn't the only one with something to lose, though. If Sting gets pinned, he promises never to wrestle again. If Kurt Angle is pinned, he loses his leadership spot in the Main Event Mafia. Jeff Jarrett has to give up his control of TNA if he's the one that gets beaten. Should be a good one. Here's a quick preview.
Mick Foley vs Sting vs Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle Even without the stipulation, I would be tuning into this match. You have four veteran workers in there that understand the game. That's guaranteed to be an entertaining match. Hard to truly predict a winner since any of the losing stipulations could be turned into a storyline. If I had to choose, I'll go with Mick Foley keeping the belt.
Booker T vs AJ Styles I don't particularly like the idea of AJ Styles with the TNA Legends Championship. Hopefully, Booker T gets the strap back and uses it to elevate younger babyfaces in TNA. AJ Styles, who is almost guaranteed to put on a great show here, should then be elevated to something higher.
Suicide vs Daniels To me, this is brilliant booking. It's basically a nod to the internet wrestling community since everyone was well aware that it was Daniels that was under the mask while Kaz was injured. All things aside, this should be a good match since there are two solid workers in there. I'd rather see Daniels in the main event scene, so I hope Suicide retains the title here.
Angelina Love vs Awesome Kong TNA has built up Awesome Kong as a monster challenger again. Hopefully, they pull a surprise and keep the belt on Angelina Love. I'd like to see more of her as a champion to see what she can truly do.
Kevin Nash vs Samoa Joe This is the match that was supposed to happen a while back before Kevin Nash got injured. With Samoa Joe's character the way it is now, this should be even more interesting. Hopefully, we get a surprise appearance by Taz here. That would be a mark out moment.
Taylor Wilde vs Daffney I have to give TNA credit for being creative with the women's division. Rather than simply going with gimmick matches that involve pillows and bunny suits, they've decided to give these ladies a platform to show what they can do. Not sure how well they can do it, but I'll pass judgment after the match.
Beer Money Inc vs British Invasion Looks like TNA is going through with a big push for the British Invasion. This would be a good opportunity to give them instant momentum by having them pull off the upset win. Beer Money Inc is popular enough to withstand the loss.
Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool
The following Divas contest set for one fall is to determine the number one contendor for the WWE Women's Championship!
Introducing first accompanied by Alicia Fox from Palatka Florida, Michelle McCool!
And her opponent from Tampa Florida, Gail Kim!
Yes it sucks. Find me a better one then >:l
Ding Ding!
Michelle and Gail lock up. Michelle gains the upper hand by throwing Gail quickly over her shoulder with an arm drag. Gail gets back up quickly and runs towards Michelle, but Michelle performs another quick arm drag. Michelle connects a dropkick. Cover 1.. Kick out by Gail. Michelle whips Gail in the corner and runs towards her, but Gail moves making Michelle crash in the turnbuckle. Roll-up by Gail. 1...2... Kick out. Michelle delivers a few elbow shots to Gail then whips her to the ropes and kicks Gail in the face when she comes back. Cover. 1...2... Gail kicks out. Alicia distracts the ref while Michelle chokes Gail on the bottom rope with her leg. The referee finally sees Michelle and starts the count. 1...2...3...4... Michelle lets go. Gail gets back on her feet and runs to the ropes and comes back with a body cross. 1...2... Kick out by Michelle. Gail goes on the top rope, but Alicia grabs the ropes and vibrates them and Gail falls off the turnbuckle. PW3NT! uhum. back to the match... Michelle jumps on Gail's back and chokes her but Gail ain't that stupid. She jumps onto her back squashing Michelle under her. Cover. 1...2..... Michelle barely kicks out. Gail gets back up but recieves a clothesline from Alicia. Alicia is then sent to the back. She screams at the ref, but that makes him want her to gtfo more. Now, Michelle is on her feet and is positioned for a big move. Gail gets up, turns to face Michelle but gets met up with a Chick Kick. Cover. 1...2.... Gail kicks out! OMFG! Michelle is flappin angry. When Gail gets on her feet, Michelle grabs her for the Faith Breaker. It connects! 1...2...3!
Here is your winner and the number one contendor for the WWE Women's Championship, Michelle McCool!

Great Job! btw people, believe it or not, the only Wrestling show I watched this week was ECW... I missed RAW due to personal reasons, I was at my friend's Baseball game during Superstars and TNA and I only watched the main event of SD! because me and my friend didn't seem to interested. I did however watch the replay of Superstars and it was great! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Go Kofi!
