Undertaker Screwed Over, Wrestlers Support Jeff Hardy After Arrest

Last night in Montreal, CM Punk sunk to new lows in order to reaffirm his beliefs and to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

GM Teddy Long has been pressured by McMahon to impress him, to do something spectacular, something that deserves excellence... Well, Long finally reached his breaking point when he ordered the World Heavyweight Title Match to be restarted, after Taker submitted Punk using Hell's Gate. The reason for this, is that former GM, Vickie Guerrero, banned the move shortly after WrestleMania XXIV. She made this decree after Taker injured so many, including her ex-husband Edge, with the blood choking hold. Who would'be guessed that Teddy would uphold it?

CM Punk took the chance to apply the Anaconda Vice, the move that made Matt Hardy tap out just the Friday before, on the Undertaker. But just as Punk finished getting the hold - Referee Scott Armstrong called for the bell.

The Undertaker has never submitted in his entire wrestling career, but on this night, where in 1997 Shawn Michaels and McMahon screwed Bret Hart from the WWE Title, more than ten years later, McMahon would screw over Hulk Hogan in 2003 and now The Undertaker in 2009. Much like the real life screw job of 97', Taker never tapped out. Let's just call this night, Montreal Screw Job III.

Prior to the match, CM Punk was interviewed by Josh Matthews and he goes on to mention: He is a Straight-Edge Champion that people can trust, and at least you won't see his mugshot all over the internet.

This is in regards to the recent arrest of Jeff Hardy 9/11/09:

Fayetteville Police Chief Deputy Neil Godfrey says that Jeff Hardy's home was searched Friday morning at 10:30am based on a police tip that there were drugs on the premises.

Upon arriving at the house, police encountered Hardy and "wife" (fiancee) Beth. After completing the search and finding the various drugs and paraphernalia, the police proceeded to arrest and charge the former WWE Superstar. Hardy's significant other was not included in the arrest.

Charged with "trafficking in opium, two counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for drugs, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia," according to the Observer, Hardy would face a mandatory prison term if convicted of some of the key charges. Opium trafficking, for instance, guarantees a three year stint behind bars.

Godfrey added that because the case remains under investigation, it is too early to determine if more charges-either against Hardy or others who are potentially involved - will be filed.

Hardy, who has not outright denied the alleged possession of drugs ranging from anabolic steroids to cocaine to Vicodin but has criticized inaccurate media reporting, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on the matter Monday.

Hardy, a former WWE World Champion and one of the most popular wrestlers in the modern era of the company, departed the organization for a personal hiatus a few weeks ago. Eerily, his final story-line, a feud with current World Champion, CM Punk, played off his history of alleged drug issues.

It's not a surprise then that CM Punk would attack Jeff unsubtly: "You will never see my mugshot all over the internet!"

However, throughout the twitter world, many of Jeff's fan base have fallen out of favor for the once-rainbow haired warrior. But those that are sticking by Jeff are not just the fans, but other wrestlers:

@HurricaneHelms: When friends or family FALL, u don't ask them WHY they fell, you simply help them up!

@IAmJericho: Don't think of judging Jeff Hardy until you've walked a mile in his shoes. I will always have Jeffs back...

@mexwarrior: Hey guys, just heard about jeff Hardy. Don't know details yet but i want to give my support. Jeff is a classy person and also have his back!

@secondpower: Jeff Hardy is 1 of the best guys I've EVER known. Cares more about his family and his fans than any other celebrity I know.

@KIMOBRAND: People can say u have alot of friends but my friends r more like family and this family sticks together no matter what.

@ashleymassaro99: JEff Hardy is a great person n no one knows what it's like for anyone else in this world unless you've walked in their shoes. Don't judge... I will always have Jeff's back, he's a wonderful person and put his body on the line for all of us every week Say a prayer for him if u can

@TheShannonBrand: RT @NekoEyes If I smell like smoke, it's because I walked through Hell with The Hardy Boys!

@MATTHARDYBRAND: Thnx 4 the overwhelming support guys, and; I mean OVERWHELMING! Can't wait until the facts are able t come out. God bless u all, God bless us...

And with all these overwhelming responses Jeff Hardy finally responded this morning:

@JEFFHARDYBRAND: Thanks for your undying support-Love u guys!

So no matter what happens, Jeff Hardy will always be a part of our lives; He's like our little brother, and we have to look out for family.

Rhodes-DiBiase Cement their Legacy; The Viper Quits

A match that could be determined anywhere, and I mean anywhere… was determined in the ring? D-Generation X and Legacy had a SummerSlam rematch – except, this time, it was a Submission’s Count Anywhere match.

In a previous article, I noted that Triple H has the Sharpshooter, while Shawn Michaels has the Sharpshooter, Cross-face, and The Figure-Four; but what do Rhodes and DiBiase have? And I was right, they would have to pull a page from their fathers’ handbooks – The figure four leg lock. Of course the submission was made famous by Ric Flair, but The Million Dollar Man and The American Dream have utilized the deadly move in their days – and last night it was used again.

The battle ensued from the ring, reaching the audience, to backstage. DX tried taking out Rhodes earlier: HBK applied the Camel Clutch and Triple H the Boston Crab Leg on a steel chair! How Rhodes didn’t submit is beyond me.

However, Legacy played a smart game and destroyed Triple H backstage – leaving Shawn Michaels helpless.

Now, Shawn Michaels has done this maneuver before, but I don’t think he would have thought that it would happen to him – Rhodes locked in the figure four around the ring post as DiBiase latched the Million Dollar Dream. Michaels did the only thing he could – seeing as Triple H was out of reach to be of any help – and that was the tap out.

This is by far the greatest victory in Legacy’s young career, defeating one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history.

However, not all of Legacy had such a triumphant night…

Randy Orton defended his WWE Title against John Cena. Now, John Cena didn’t earn another title shot, it was pretty much granted to him because just about everything is handed to him. The match had two stipulations: 1) You beat your opponent so badly that they are forced to say “I Quit.” (The last time this match occurred was between Jeff and Matt Hardy, where Jeff forced Matt to utter those words); 2) If Randy Orton receives any outside interference in his favor, than the title would be automatically be awarded to John Cena.

What is that all about? Is McMahon still reeling over the fact that Orton punted him in the head? Because even at SummerSlam, the match was restarted about 3-4 times by order of McMahon. All the odds were against Orton, and it was pretty much set for Orton to lose.

Orton methodically attacked John Cena by throwing him into the announce table, crushing his skull with a Rope Hung DDT, and then stomping his spine on the cold steel steps.

This was Orton taking it easy as he gradually became more innovative as the match wore on.

The Viper handcuffed the lifeless Cena to the ropes. Much like Legacy did to HHH as Orton Rope Hung DDT’ed his wife and then kissed her (forget about that already?).

But it wasn’t enough for Orton… he wanted more. So he double handcuffed Cena to the ring post and started striking at Cena’s ribcage. He attacked Cena with a Steel Chair repeatedly – and when Cena couldn’t bare it anymore – Orton threw water in his face so he can be conscious to feel the Singapore cane that came next. Then with malicious eyes, Orton started to choke out Cena with the cane, forcing the two words out of him.

Somehow, no one knows, Cena managed to slip out of one of the cuffs and locked Orton so they could be connected. It really looked like something straight out of a Superman comic book, as The Hustle n’ Flow of Thuganomics stood as a pinnacle of strength, while his foe scarred out of his mind begged for mercy.

The two returned to the ring and Cena used the cuffs to strap in the STF, with Orton’s own arm applying the submission that finally forced Orton to say… I Quit.

The WWE Title, the title that has eluded John Cena since No Mercy 2007, has finally been regained. John Cena actually endured a lot in this match – Orton gave it everything he had, but you just cannot defeat WWE’s Superman. It’s impossible. Just like Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior – Cena draws his strength from his fans.

The words that will resonate tonight’s Monday Night RAW, hosted by 7-Time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus, will be – THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Khali Reaches Breaking Point; Dolph Ziggler Breaks Down Paterson

The Giants did battle once again, this time with Singapore canes. This is actually a submission type match, but WWE did not carry it out as one.

In a Singapore cane match, one much severely beat their opponent that he cannot get up. That’s a true Singapore match, but, instead, WWE used it as their focal foreign object allowed in the match – with Kane pinning the Great Khali.

On WWE Superstars, Kane destroyed Jimmy Wang Yang and attacked him with a cane – to show what pain he can cause. While Khali was set to fight DH Smith, Kane crashed the match and attacked Khali – until Khali delivered the Punjabi Plunge and stood tall.

However, Khali fell once again because of his weakest link – Runjin Singh, who interfered with the match and attacked Kane with a cane. It serves Singh right, he cost Khali the match. Kane is now 2-0 against Khali.

The WWE Universe were treated to the presence of a Montreal-native and WWE’s first-ever Intercontinental Champion, Pat Paterson. He spoke to the fans until he was interrupted by #1 Contender, Dolph Ziggler.

Ziggler started criticizing Paterson’s involvement with anything relevant with the WWE, and first Bob Barker and now Paterson – what is WWE running a senior citizen’s convention?

The audience started chanting ugly words to Ziggler, but it only fueled the Platinum haired superstar to kick Paterson down to his knees.

It wasn’t long that the current Intercontinental Champion came to the aid of the inaugural champion. John Morrison showing respect to the linage of the IC title sees to it that Paterson is ok – while giving a disgusted look to the actions of his new found opponent.

Unified Tag Team, ECW, and US Champions Retain at Breaking Point

Last Night at Breaking Point – a new concept where the main events are submission type matches – witnessed the official formation of MVP and Mark Henry; Titles Retained, Points Made; a New Champion; and a Screw Job.

The first match was for the Unified Tag Team Titles, now reckon, this was not fought under submission rules. This was a clean cut match, well as clean cut as you can get when dealing with Chris Jericho and The Big Show.

Now, Mark Henry and MVP may not have won the belts, but they looked like Champions last night. They entered the ring with matching uniforms. As of last Mark Henry has been sporting red and, last night, Montel Vontavious Porter did the same. The two superstars had their monograms styled on their backs: MVP and WSM (World’s Strongest Man).

The match started up strong with the challengers isolating Jericho in the corner. They acted quickly, with quick tags. However, when Big Show got into the ring, Henry tried power slamming The World’s Largest Athlete again, but to no avail.

Despite the great effort by these two, and the fluid motion and agility – a K.O. Punch to the side of Mark Henry leaves Jericho to pin The World’s Strongest Man.

Mind you, the referee had his back turned, but that’s just smart tag team action. You do what ever you can to get the win, no matter what. To some that’s more of a way of life than just a motivation.

The ECW Championship match was longer than 8-seconds, but it came at a price. The match clearly stated that William Regal would have both Kozlov and Jackson at ringside. Seeing as this is Breaking Point – over coming the odds would be Christian’s breaking point. However, Tiffany notified the referee prior to the match that both Kozlov and Jackson would be banned from the arena, leaving Regal to fly solo.

William Regal had all the momentum going into this match – with great promos and a legion of followers – it was wrong of Tiffany to ban them from ringside. Most of the great heels of our generation have a legion or lackeys that help them out. Just like Orton has Legacy and Edge had La Familia – Regal has his United Front.

Christian retained his title with a Killswitch that left William Regal down for the 1-2-3.

The Breaking Point pay-per-view featured a United States Title match, that was added to the card just over the weekend – as WWE found it wiser to build the feud with John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler – seeing as Rey Mysterio is suspended so the initial Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler could not take place.

WWE ruined the build up for the US Title during The American Dream’s day of hosting – putting on a Fatal Four Way with all the possible contenders. The build up was rushed and left for a descent title match.

It wasn’t until WWE Superstars 9/10/09 that The Miz made his re-statement. In a tag team match with The Miz teaming with Jack Swagger against Kofi Kingston and Primo, The Miz pinned the Jamaican Superstar with The Skull Crushing Finale.

However, The Miz failed, once again, to capture the United States Title. Maybe John Morrison is right – out of their success: John Morrison, by winning the Intercontinental Title, is the Shawn Michaels, and The Miz is the Marty Jannety.

This Week's ECW: 9/08/09, WWE Superstars 9/10/09, & Smackdown: 9/11/09

CM Punk's Anaconda Vice Submits Hardy, but Undertaker?

Kicking off Friday Night Smackdown is the first official ring entrance of the Undertaker since Wrestlemania 25, wearing the trench he wore at Wrestlemania 24, when he submitted Edge in Hells Gate!

Undertaker at the age of 44 is still one of the most intimidating forces in the WWE today.

Taker delivered a great promo, basically that CM Punk is tired because he wakes up every night in a puddle of his own sweat out of fear because this Sunday he will reach his Breaking Point when he feels the grip of Hells Gate.

CM Punk tries to deliver a decent promo of how Taker is just like Jeff Hardy, poisoning the people's minds with likes of supernatural powers from the darkness. CM Punk believes that Taker will tap out to the Anaconda Vice and everyone will numb the pain with alcohol and pills as they see their next hero fall.

The main event for Smackdown is CM Punk vs. Matt Hardy in a Submission Match - an exhibition if you will, of what CM Punk is capable of when he meets the Undertaker at Breaking Point.

Matt Hardy is interviewed by ECW's Josh Matthews prior to his match and let me tell you - Matt Hardy is weak on interviews. The reason why Jeff Hardy went over so big, is because Jeff's uniqueness gave him the charisma to nail each of his interviews and mic segments dead on. Matt does not posses that. Which is a shock, because he's charismatic on The Hardy Show. He seems to tense up in his interviews, relax man!

During the match, Matt Hardy focused on the neck of CM Punk, with a series of Neck Breakers. He even pushed the top rope from under Punk, causing him to fall flat onto the ring.

But CM Punk gets back into the match with a drop kick to the back of the head and blows a kiss to the fans before delivering a hellacious snap suplex to Matt Hardy.

Then CM Punk, pulling a page from the Immortal One Hulk Hogan, delivers a series of leg drops to Matt Hardy.

Matt Hardy then pulls a page from The Dirtiest Player in the Game Ric Flair, but placing Punk in the Figure Four!

Along with the Figure Four, Matt applied a double-underhook scissors lock, along with a half Boston crab. 3 Submission maneuvers that sadly could not get the job done as the Anaconda Vice makes Hardy Tap.

CM Punk so far has been living up to his word. He claimed that he would rid the WWE of Jeff Hardy, and make Matt Hardy tap out to the Anaconda Vice.

But tonight's Submission match is against the Undertaker, a man who has Never.... EVER!!!! TAPPED OUT!

Dolph Ziggler Framed; McCool's Gossip Girl

For weeks, Melina has been cautioning Maria about Ziggler, but Maria says she can take care of herself and to butt out. Well, in a backstage segment, Dolph Ziggler is looking for Maria and finds McCool instead.

Dolph Ziggler may be a heel in the ring, but he does have a soft spot for Maria. - Not what you expected from a heel?

McCool trying to spin her web of decent - asks Dolph why he's wasting his time with a girl like Maria when he can be with a Woman like her? Ziggler not wanting anything to do with her continues to ask if she's seen Maria.

What he got was a set up, as McCool tripped into Ziggler's arms and Layla snatched a photo of the "deception."

Dolph Ziggler has not had an easy Friday, first he is framed, which will probably blow out of proportion next week; and he got called Mr. Ziggles and forced to leave the arena.

Maria is the one salvation point that he has, and if McCool brings that photo to Maria - it'll destroy everything Ziggler has.

For the Women's match of the night, it's Melina vs. Layla. Really? This should be a quick match, right?

Well, interestingly enough, Layla has indeed improved in the ring; however, she's still a long ways to reaching Melina's status.

Even though Melina is the better wrestler, Layla still manages to pick up the win, thanks to the assist of McCool's crutch to the midsection.

Michelle McCool with her sidekick Layla, are pretty much out to destroy the lives of the other divas - Maria and Melina. So... high school.

Reasons why Intercontinental Title Match is cancled for tonight's Pay-Per-View; John Morrison's New Opponent is Dolph Ziggler

The Hottest Superstar in the WWE right now is the new Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison. As mentioned by Todd Grisham, he has a new monogram: The Ambassador of Abdominals - as he ignites the arena with his Greatness.

This week, Morrison - after possibly having one of the greatest matches last week - is set to face against Charlie Haas. Really?

Charlie Haas is all over the place. First he was a heel in the World's Greatest Tag Team like 6 years ago, then he turned face on RAW when dressing up like past WWE superstars (and some current), and now he's back to being a heel.

Haas actually looked impressive out there, the kid's got the matt wrestling skills, it's just his persona - it's hard to follow a guy who has no persona. Hence, why The Hart Dynasty isn't as big as they could be.

Morrison defeats Haas with a pele kick followed by Starship Pain.

Morrison got on the mic and expressed his gratitude towards Rey Mysterio for one of the greatest matches of his career. And whenever Rey wants a rematch all he has to do is ask.

Well, if Morrison remains Champion for another four weeks, then we may very well see that rematch, as Mysterio is currently suspended.

But let's not forget that Dolph Ziggler earned the right to become the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title and was robbed of his opportunity last Friday Night as Morrison challenged Mysterio and then became Champion.

Now, if you were unaware, or dense, as to why the Intercontinental Title Match was canceled from this Sunday's Breaking Point ppv... there are two reasons: 1) Mysterio is suspended; and 2) WWE actually wants to build this feud, so let them, stop being so impatient!

Dolph Ziggler expressed his outrage for Morrison and Mysterio teaming up to have a match when he was set for championship glory in his third encounter.

Side Note: Despite Mysterio politicking with the WWE to have a long title reign, it was rumored that Ziggler would finally go over this Sunday. But due to the recent suspension on the part of Rey Mysterio, Ziggler will just have to wait.

Morrison started to get under the skin of Dolph Ziggler by calling him Mr. Ziggles (Based on Mr. Wiggles). Morrison kept calling him Mr. Ziggles until the whole audience started chanting Mr. Ziggles, in which due time, Dolph Ziggler stormed out of the arena.

Also seen on the final episode of the Dirt Sheet 9/11/09 - Morrison bashes The Miz (much like Miz does to Morrison every week) and also managed to poke fun at Dolph Ziggler, as they are one in the same. Additionally, Morrison notes the parallel between The Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century to The Midnight Rockers - As Morrison, after winning the IC Title, is the Shawn Michaels, while The Miz is the Marty Jannetty. For which, anyone knows anything about The Midnight Rockers - as you can tell Shawn Michaels made it big, while Jannetty's career was cut tragically short through lack of talent and drug abuse.

Morrison also makes fun of Ziggler on his new program "The Palace of Wisdom" with the assistance of "The Doctor of Love" Delicious Pretty Ricky. If you remember, Pretty Ricky is the alter-ego of R-Truth. In the segment they get a phone call from "Dolph Ziggler" and start attacking him for his lack of game with the ladies.

But all jokes aside, Dolph Ziggler does currently date Maria - so should we really feel sorry for Ziggler? He's got it pretty good right now.

However, so many people are against Ziggler, including Michelle McCool... but that's for another article.

I'm glad WWE is taking the time to build up this feud, seeing as they've taken all summer to build up these two superstars to take over the main event scene one day. And I for one cannot wait for these two to clash once this feud picks up something fierce!

Hardcore Match on Friday Night?; Khali Gains Momentum; JeriShow Steals Victory

The opening match was a Bellfast Brawl... not another one. Do you realize that a Bellfast Brawl is just a street fight?

It's only called Bellfast because Finlay's hometown is Bellfast, Northern Ireland.

Why must we, the WWE Universe, be subjected to a Bellfast Brawl?

As my DVR fast forwarded through the match - I paused - because Finlay grabbed hold of a steel chair and attacked Knox with it.

Huh? That's right, a steel chair! But Mike Knox overpowered the Irishman and a trash can comes into play.

Finlay avoided Knox from the crushing blows of the can.

Then... a table is brought into the ring by the bearded giant.

Steel chair, trash can, table? This isn't ECW.

Yet, a hellacious mid-air collision renders them both nearly unconscious - But it was Finlay that instinctively hooked the leg of Mike Knox and gained the victory.

The following match was DH Smith of The Hart Dynasty vs. The Great Khali.

Now, I've mentioned before that the Hart Dynasty have what it takes to become a dominate force in the WWE. The problem is... they have no personality.

Sure, Natalya acts as the mouth piece from time to time, but the WWE is not just about skills. This is Sports Entertainment - you need impressive mic skills to go over big in this business.

Kane proved on WWE Superstars in a singapore cane match against Jimmy Wang Yang (yeah, I know - he's not released) that he has all the momentum going into the match. Something hilarious Grisham mentioned about the match - Kane knocked Jimmy Wang Yang back to Asia. I could not believe Todd said that.

The DH Smith and Khali match appeared to be a squash match, until we found out seconds later that it was an ambush.

Kane attacked Khali from behind - But a Khali Chop and the Punjabi Plunge knocks Kane out!

And yes, the WWE Universe will once again be forced to watch Khali and Kane fight - but this time they through Singapore canes into the mix. Why not something crazy, like a Tables match? I'd like to see a Giant go through a table, How about you?

The Unified Tag Team Champions - not faring so well with loses on RAW - entered the arena with their awesome new entrance theme. A tag team match against Cryme Tyme - might as well call it an exhibition match.

JTG getting the upper hand on Jericho at the start of the match - causes Y2J to lose his cool. Especially, when Shad Gaspard - taking a page from The Ultimate Warrior - executes a Gorilla Press on Jericho.

Shad also tries to even his strength with Big Show through flying uppercuts that knock the Big Show flat on his back.

But, when JTG pulls a Shelton Benjamin, a Shawn Michaels, as he wills his way back into the ring by holding unto the top rope - He is Knocked Out by Big Show with a hellacious Knock Out Punch!

Jericho picks up the win, turning their luck around as they gain momentum into this Sunday's ppv match as the defend the Unified Tag Team Titles against MVP and Mark Henry.

But if we have learned anything about the match - MVP and Mark Henry know that the key to winning the titles is to isolate Jericho and avoid the knock out punch by Big Show.
