KWF TNA RAW: AT&T Center. San Antonio, TX. Monday May 16th 2011.

The lights go up and the pyro’s go off as we join Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler for yet another action packed edition of the ‘most must-see’ wrestling blog on the world wide web, its Monday Night TNA RAW! The fans in San Antonio go wild as Cole welcomes us and asks King whether he thinks there will be a response tonight after the World Elite took out Triple H. “I’ve no doubt there will be Michael. Though I’ve heard rumors that Hunter isn’t even here tonight, he’s still recovering from that vicious beatdown at the hands of Wade Barrett and the World Elite last week, but if Hulk Hogan’s two weeks as GM so far has taught us anything, it’s that the Hulkster isn’t gonna let things like that go unpunished.” “We await to see what happens King, but as for the rest of this evening, we have some great action lined up for you KWF fanatics. Later on we will see the new and impressive Tag Team, The Bucks, really have their abilities tested as they take on the WWE Tag Team Champions LAX in a non-title match.” “That’s gonna be great Michael, but we also have a Champion in action who is putting his gold on the line. The World Elite’s newest recruit, Panther, defends his United States Title against Matt Hardy. I just hope Hardy gets a fair chance at the former Thundercat, but I won’t hold my breath with the World Elite always in the background… speaking of the devils.” With that, the World Elite’s music hits and Sheamus and Vladimir Kozlov come to the ring, with boos echoing around the AT&T Center. Justin Gabriel joins them. As Sheamus and Kozlov get in the ring, Gabriel makes his way over to join Cole and King on commentary.

Sheamus & Vladimir Kozlov vs. Daniel Bryan & Sin Cara

The number one contender to Gabriel’s X-Division Title, Daniel Bryan, is joined by the man he beat for that honor last week, Sin Cara. Cole reminds us that after an incredible match between the two as the American Dragon was celebrating his win, he was jumped by Sheamus and Kozlov. However, Bryan and Sin Cara joined forces and saw them off, and they hope to do the same tonight. The bout begins with Kozlov versus Sin Cara. The Russian does his best stomping act, but he isn’t quick enough to keep up with the Luchador, and gets hit with kicks to the legs, before Sin Cara twists his arm and hits back kicks to the torso. He then springboards off the ropes, still holding the arm, and flips Kozlov over. The crowd applaud, impressed with Cara’s athleticism. Justin Gabriel on commentary is incensed, and he urges Kozlov to get back into it. Cole asks him if he’s impressed by Sin Cara, and he says not one little bit. “He’s just as useless and weak as Daniel Bryan.” Kozlov soon recovers and almost decapitates his small opponent with a clothesline and the crowd ‘Ohh’ on the impact and Kozlov gets Two on the cover. Kozlov has an angry look on his face and hits some elbows and stomps. He tries to mock Sin Cara by looking down at him and laughing, before making a tag to Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior comes in and continues to beat Sin Cara down. Gabriel says on commentary “You see, this is what it’s all about. Total dominance the way it should be. And these two midgets think they can compete in my X-Division? Please.” Sheamus hits knees to the head, and shoulders in the corner. He sets Sin Cara up for a Brogue Kick, but the artist formerly known as Mistico ducks and comes off the ropes, springing back after a handstand and elbowing Sheamus down. Sin Cara then manages to find the energy to make the tag to Daniel Bryan, who comes in and hits a couple of dropkicks on Sheamus, before kicking Kozlov off the apron. He then turns to Gabriel and flips him off. This outrages the X-Division Champion, to the extent that he rips his headphones off and goes to approach the ring, but Sin Cara suddenly flies off the apron and hits him with a hurracanrana! Bryan continues to pummel Sheamus, and then tries to hook on the LeBell Lock, and manages to. Just as Kozlov comes in to make the save, Sin Cara explodes into the ring and hits the impressive La Mistica on him. Both X-Division superstars have the heavyweights in Submission holds, and the referee can’t remember who’s legal, but it’s elementary as Justin Gabriel rushes into the ring and boots Daniel Bryan in the face.

Winners by way of Disqualification: Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara.

The fans boo like hell as they feel angry at not having a conclusive result to this match. Gabriel mounts Bryan and starts hitting him with rights to the skull, while a recovering Sheamus and Kozlov double team Sin Cara, before throwing him out of the ring. The three of them gang up on Bryan, and Sheamus levels him with a vicious Brogue Kick. Gabriel just looks at him and laughs, as the trio raise their hands to boos in the middle of the ring and Gabriel raises his X-Division Championship over Daniel Bryan’s fallen body.

When we come back from the commercial break the crowd is silent, like the calm before the storm, and then the familiar intro of ♫Real American♫ hits and the interim General Manager of TNA RAW, Hulk Hogan, comes out to the stage to address the audience. He laps up their attention and cups the ear, to great cheer. Once the fans calm down he gets down to business. “It’s great to be in San Antonio, Texas brother!” (fans cheer) “But I’ve had a headache all week about what I’m gonna do about these punks, the World Elite, who think they can run riot on my show and take out my superstars just because they feel threatened. Well I’m not cool with that dudes, and Wade Barrett and his band of merry foreigners can take that to the bank. I suppose I should be more sympathetic with the World Elite, I mean I used to do the same thing when I was riding in the nWo, but I learned from my mistakes, and whether he wants to or not, I’m gonna make sure Barrett learns from his. After what he and his posse did to Triple H last week, I’ve had to give Hunter the night off to make sure he’s ready for ReBirth on Sunday. I want that match to be a fair fight, something the WWE Champion isn’t too familiar with, and with that in mind, I’m making it a No-Disqualification match!” The fans cheer, but King questions that decision. “A fair fight? Hogan’s stupid, doesn’t that just allow the World Elite to gang up on The Game?” Hogan continues: “But as for Wade Barrett, well I’m putting him in a match tonight. He’s going up against someone who’s also got a real thirst for that WWE Title, someone who held it not so long ago. Tonight’s main event is going to be Wade Barrett versus Christian Cage!” The fans cheer again. Hogan ends by saying that up next will be a Triple Threat Knockouts match to decide the number one contender for Angelina Love’s Title. Beth Phoenix, versus Eve Torres, versus Velvet Sky, - and if Velvet wins, then Angelina will not have to defend her Belt at ReBirth. Hogan finishes “Thanks for coming KWF-Maniacs, enjoy your night.”

Beth Phoenix vs. Eve Torres vs. Velvet Sky w/ Angelina Love – Number one contenders match for the Knockouts Title.

The match seems to be a good idea for the Beautiful People, with a chance that Love won’t have to defend on Sunday. However, this idea seems to backfire when Beth and Eve gang up on Velvet and beat her down. They back her into the corner, and all Angelina can do is yell at the official and stand there. Beth lifts her onto the turnbuckle, and together with Eve they suplex her off the middle rope. However, Beth and Eve soon realize they are also against one another. They dump Velvet to ringside and tie up. The contest goes on and it’s an intriguing match-up between Eve and Beth, trading blows and move for move both getting near Two-counts here or there. Velvet tries to play it smart and it’s an eternity before she gets back in the ring. Beth meanwhile is in control of Eve due to her superior power, but Eve soon gets back into it with a neat reversal. She knocks Beth down with a clothesline and then hits a standing moonsault, but Beth kicks out. The match goes on, as Velvet starts to get back into it. She knocks Beth to the outside, where Angelina distracts her and holds her up while the ref isn’t looking. Velvet works over Eve with slaps and uppercuts, before hitting a DDT and going for a pin, but Eve kicks out. Beth pushes Angelina into the barrier as Velvet screams at the ref for a slow count. Phoenix sneaks up behind, before nailing Velvet with a Glam Slam! 1… 2… 3!

Winner: Beth Phoenix!

The Glamazon is the new number one contender, and will face Angelina Love for her Knockouts Title on Sunday at ReBirth! She celebrates her victory, while Love looks on concerned, and Velvet lays on her back in the ring.

We go backstage to join TNA RAW interviewer Jeremy Borash. He is asking various X-Division superstars who they think will win the Title match between Daniel Bryan and Justin Gabriel on Sunday. Amazing Red says that they’re both incredible athletes, but he thinks Bryan is going to have too much for the South African. Shannon Moore disagrees and believes Gabriel will win, as he has the World Elite as back-up. Suicide gives his comments, in his gruesome voice, suggesting that it should be a good match, but that he’s backing Bryan. Sonjay Dutt doesn’t give an answer as he’s too busy meditating, Evan Bourne backs Bryan to win with the LeBell Lock. Finally, Santino Marella says he thinks Justin Gabriel will triumph easily in the biggest South African victory since Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon won the Rugby World Cup. A confused JB asks Santino if he watched the movie ‘Invictus’, to which he replies “I fell asleep through most of it but I’m pretty sure I got the gist.”

Panther w/ Maryse vs. Matt Hardy – United States Title

Matt Hardy impressively won a number one contenders match last week against Kofi Kingston, Outlaw and Matt Morgan, and he wastes no time in this one, hitting Panther with a Side Effect and getting a near fall within the opening thirty seconds. Maryse urges on her man, and the US Champ is soon back into things as he comes off the ropes to hit a spinning heel kick on Hardy, before locking on an Anaconda Vice. Hardy struggles and manages to get to the ropes, but Panther is in the ascendancy now. The match continues, with Panther hitting a Trip ya, Flip ya, Kick ya, but being reversed in a suplex attempt and getting nailed with a Twist of Fate! Unfortunately for Hardy, Panther rolls to the outside. Maryse stands in the way and protects Panther. Hardy is tempted to push her out of the way, but refrains. Then the crowd cheers as Mr Anderson makes his way to the ring. Anderson got screwed out of a US Title shot when the World Elite took him out in a match vs. Rob Terry, and now it seems he’s out for revenge. His presence causes Maryse to flee, and leaves Panther exposed. Anderson grabs the Champ and tosses him back in the ring. Maryse is arguing with the official that Anderson should be thrown out and Hardy disqualified, but he’s having none of it. This distraction allows Anderson and Hardy to double team Panther, and they line up in opposite corners and race towards Panther in the middle of the ring who is just getting up. However, the black cat moves and Hardy runs straight into Anderson, who grabs him and hits a Mic Check! “What!? What was that!?” Cole asks. Anderson exits the ring and just looks stone faced back at Hardy. Maryse orders the official to pay attention and he slides in to make the count as Panther gets the pin.

Winner and Still United States Champion: Panther!

As Panther and Maryse celebrate, Anderson just storms up the ramp-way saying “It shoulda been me!” Cole asks what the hell Anderson just did, but King explains that it’s fairly simple. “Anderson thought he should have been the number one contender, and didn’t think Hardy deserved his shot. Now Hogan has to take Anderson seriously as a challenger.” Cole agrees that was probably the reason, but says that’s just bitter and unnecessary from Ken Anderson.

We see an eerie commercial video package for Sunday’s KWF pay-per-view ReBirth, in which a creepy doll face flashes across the screen as a fast paced video shows action which builds for the matches we will see. On the TNA RAW side it will be Daniel Bryan versus Justin Gabriel for the X-Division Title, LAX defending their WWE Tag Team Titles against the legendary Dudley’s, Beth Phoenix trying to rip the Knockouts Title from Angelina Love’s grasp, and the wily WWE Champion, Wade Barrett, defending against The Game Triple H in a No-DQ match. From Impact SmackDown we will be treated to Styler and Drew McIntyre versus The Uso’s for the TNA World Tag Team Titles, Rob Van Dam defending his Hardcore Title – but against who? Triple Threat Submission action for the WCW Title as Chris Jericho defends against CM Punk and Samoa Joe, and TWO TNA World Heavyweight Title matches as Sting first must face the Big Red Masked Machine Kane, and then the winner of that contest will face Shawn Michaels in the main event at the conclusion of the program. The odds are stacked against The Icon, but if anyone can pull this off, surely it’s the Stinger! KWF ReBirth, Sunday 22nd May 2011. Don’t miss it!!!
