Triple H out, John Laurinitis in!

Last night’s stellar Raw had some more on screen big changes so let’s have a quick look through what happened.

It started off with Triple H, suited and booted coming to the ring alone. No announcers or time keeper were present when he got down to the packed arena.

After talking about last week’s walk out and how the Superstars are out in the parking lot holding a “Rally of solidarity” he said even at the threat of not having any superstars working for him he will not quit.

After talking about the possibility of Triple H wrestling a broom stick just so they have a show John Cena comes to the ring.

John Cena talks about how the guys in the parking lot really want him to join them yet Trips hasn’t asked anything of him.

He says how a lot of the other Superstars feel but then points out that for some of them superstars Triple H is there first boss. He then gives us a rundown of bosses he has had while working in the WWE ending it on saying that Triple H is his boss and he is staying.

Next to join them is Sheamus who even with Triple H and Sheamus’s history also agreed to stay.

CM Punk then came to the ring, carrying a “pipe bomb”. CM Punk actually decided to take the blame for this as he did start this off back at Money in the Bank by walking out with the WWE Championship. But even though he walked out he didn’t break any rules, he didn’t break his contract, his contract expired. Regardless of all that he deals with things personally and also agrees to stay.

Triple H then makes a match using what little he has. Sheamus vs. John Cena, Triple H as ref and CM Punk assigned to the empty announcers table to say whatever he feels like as well as being a Time Keeper.

The match kicks off and we have a good kick start to this odd Raw show, after so long the match is interrupted by the man that most of you guys had already foreseen returning.

Vince McMahon comes to the ring, he shows his faith in Triple H and that he still believes in him. Unfortunately though due to the walk out the board of directors are in fear of WWE’s fanatical wellbeing and they are not going to take a chance, so they have removed Triple H as COO.

An interim GM will be assigned that apparently neither Vince nor Triple H likes but John Laurinitis is assigned the job.

The rest of the show is a series of matches to help propel the rebel faction higher, starting with Christian vs. John Morrison in there Street Clothes, Christian was not alone though as he had Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger at ring side, after Christians win the team Beat on Morrison.

Randy Orton then took on Mark Henry but the match was interrupted by Cody Rhodes who attacked Randy. Mark being disqualified slams Randy twice in anger; Cody takes advantage of the downed Randy and sticks a bag over his head.

After a Divas tag match that saw Kelly Kelly and Eve win John Laurinitis came to the ring and shockingly fired J.R in front of the very unhappy Oklahoma crowd.

Rising star Mason Ryan with some wicked Electric Guitar music comes next tagging with AirBoom who also has their own Rock styled entrance music. They took on Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and David Otunga. Vicki Guerrero was at ring side; Michael Cole also named the group, “The Agents of Change.”

This was my favourite match of the night and it does show the improvement in the Tag division although we still haven’t got enough teams outside of these groups.

AirBoom and Mason win brilliantly to the dismay of Vicki. At the end of the match Evan Bourn did look to be injured, weather Keyfab or real and the seriousness of it is unknown.

After a trailer for John Cena’s new movie, which to be honest looks terrible, we move into Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk as the main event of the show.

This match was also cut short this time by John Laurinitis. He changes the match to Alberto Del Rio teaming with CM Punk to take on the rehired pair of R-Truth and the Miz.

Del Rio ended up leaving the match, leaving CM Punk to take Truth and Miz on solo. He put up a good fight but in the end Truth and Miz got disqualified due to both attack Punk and being counted out. Not to worry as former COO Triple H, no longer suited and booted but in Jeans and T-Shirt, comes down to the ring to help Punk and fight off Truth and Miz.

By the looks of things Triple H may not be COO but he is going to stick around as a Superstar.

Triple H and Punk stand tall as Miz and Truth high tail it out of the arena.

Back stage John Laurinitis says how he will talk to the board and see if we can get Punk and Triple H to team to take on Truth and Miz at Vengeance.

Cut back to the ring to Triple H and Punk shaking hands, looks like we are in for a great tag match at Vengeance.

This should run through Vengeance and continue on towards Survivor Series where the Rock should be making his return and be thrown into the mix.

The road is looking like an interesting one indeed but what do you guys think?

Questions for you

I have heard some mixed opinions on the Rocks return being before Wrestlemania so what do you think? Should the Rock just wait till Mania or are you ok with him performing at Survivor Serise?

What do you think of the current Story?

Well that’s all for now thanks for your recent feedback this is Matty.D signing off.

Bye Bye Vince

If you missed the conclusion to Raw last night you missed yet another moment that will go down in Pro-Wrestling History.

The show started with Vince McMahon, accompanied by John Laurinaitis, announcing a Tournament to decide who it is that will be the new WWE Champion. He also touched on how there would be serious consequences for John Cena who did not take part the Tournament.

Throughout the night the tournament was the only matches that took place other than a pointless 7 on 7 Diva tag match, but let’s not talk about that.

It started with an “Injured” Miz vs. Alex Riley which Miz won, Truth then faced Jack Swagger, Truth was victorious, followed by Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio (kinder unneeded as Del Rio is Mr. Money in the Bank) which Kofi won and lastly Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler, Rey won. All those matches were pretty reasonable and nicely length matches.

In round 2 Kofi took on the Miz in a well-played out match where Miz stole the win, the other match being Rey vs. R-Truth in the best match of the night.

Rey won that match and waited in the ring for his opponent for the final round but received Vince McMahon instead; Vince apologised to Rey and said that he would have to postpone the match as there are more pressing issues.

Vince then began to speak about the fate of John Cena, and the way he was speaking it looked like that he was going to fire Cena.

Cena then came to the ring. Cena said about how Vince could create another John Cena or someone of his stature in time for Mania and things will go off without a hitch, he then moved on to say that this is what he does, and what he loves.

To quote Cena:

“I just need tell ya something, and I want this to sink in. I love the WWE and I truly believe I belong here. And man I hate saying this but if you’re about to tell me that I’m not welcome here, if you’re about to tell me that I have no other option, I love this, this is what I do, if you make we walk tonight then I will walk on someone else’s television show and keep doing this BROTHER!”

Strong words there and I think the first time the WWE has almost straight up acknowledged the opposing wrestling company, live on air, namely Hulk Hogan and TNA.

Vince then came to the point of firing Cena but right then the one and only Triple H made his way to the ring to the roar of the crowd suited and booted.

He spoke about a board of directors meeting that happened that morning. He spoke about how the board was concerned about Vince. There concerned about “Vince’s extremely questionable decisions.” Throughout what Triple H was telling Vince he was trying to get him to come to the back but Vince seemed to want to keep this public.

Triple H then moves on to say, “Vince, the board has asked me to come here, to tell you, that they have filed an injunction against you with a vote of no confidence. And Vince the family agrees.”

Emoticons started to rise between the two of them by this point, while the crowd could sense what was coming and were humming with excitement.

Triple H moved on to say, “on top of that, Vince, the board has appointed someone, to take over the day to day operations of the WWE.”

Tears started to well now, showing some superb acting and most probably real emotion between these long-time friends, rivals, and family members.

Triple H then said, “I can’t believe I’m even going to say this, but Vince it’s me.”

That’s right people Triple H is now in charge of the WWE, something we knew would happen one day, but I don’t think any of us predicted it would be so soon.

Triple H then moved on to make the CeNation crowd very happy by announcing that Vince was not going to fire Cena, and that he wasn’t going to do anything else.

To quote Triple H again, “you taught me from day one, that nobody is bigger than this business, nobody, and this is just business, can’t even believe I’m going to say this and believe Vince this with all due respect, I am here to inform you, that Vince you are relived of your duties.”

The Crowd was mixed but you could hear the cheers, Vince was in tears and I think it showed that this was very legit. The crowd started to chant, “Na na na na naa, hey hey hey, goodbye.”

Triple H then ended it off with, “I love you pop, and I’m sorry.”

He then dropped the mic and left the ring.

Vince stood in the ring a broken man, sad and teary eyed looking out to the crowd. The crowd did start to cheer, and chant “Thank you Vince.”

You clearly see Vince ask for the broadcast to end but he did have a mic in hand so there is a chance that the people in Green Bay got to hear Vince’s final words.

So what’s next? With Triple H in charge will we have an Evolution of the company? I just hope that Trips takes the company in good new directions, not to mention bringing in more amazing storylines like the ones we have been having of recent weeks.

Let’s also hope that Triple H will recognize the faults in the company and make the changes necessary to overcome them and make things better for the fans and the Superstars.

The future of WWE is unknown but hopefully big and bright, the next year will be an interesting one!

I just want to say I have faith in Triple H, and although Vince has made some silly, stupid and reckless decisions in the past, he did build the company that I have grown to love over the last 7 and a half years.

Thank you Vince, and farewell.
