Dynamo Special Comment(updated)
Will keep this short, another show tonight(MMWA at South Broadway in St. Louis)...
Fun time at the show, pretty good turnout.
Good to see Jackal again, I swear he looks exactly the same. Opener was face/face, was hoping for someone to go heel but it didn't take place. Hadn't seen Dice in an active role at a local show in quite some time...the Church Of Karrington continues to grow.
Pete Madden losing to Dirty Hector Sanchez(Vince Russo would love that name) was a bit of a shocker, but it looks like retribution may be forthcoming for our resident urban luchador at the next show. Some odd music choices for the night but the strangest had to be The Human Wrecking Ball entering to the dogs-barking version of Jingle Bells. WTF?
Walsh's win over Makaze made him the next contender to the NWA Missouri Title, so I presume he'll be challenging Karrington at the October event. Magic Man made a grand entrance on a miniature motorcycle and hit Walsh with it during the match...heh.
Kennedy & Rich may need a bit more time to gel as a unit...tough to follow the Kennedy/Karrington duo as far as teamwork goes.
Wyatt ripping on Trent Stone for "spearing curtain-jerkers" was an odd if unintentional slight on Alexandre Rudolph(who lost to Stone via spear earlier in the night and is hardly a "curtain-jerker").
MsChif-Stacey was probably my favorite match of the night. Some odd spots as Stacey tried for submission holds but MsChif acted like she barely felt them due to her flexibility...heh. The finishing sequence saw Stacey get desperate and try to flirt with the ref before slapping him...that gave MsChif the opening to spit the green mist in Stacey's eyes while the referee wasn't looking.
Odd match placement to put Karrington-Charles last as I figured Wyatt-Shorty would get that slot, having been set up at the previous show. They may have lost the crowd a bit in that regard...in Karrington's earlier promo spot, it might have helped for SBC to come out and respond as he hasn't worked any Dynamo shows so the fans may not have been familiar with him.
Onward, at any rate...no idea what's on the bill for South Broadway tonight, guess we'll have to wait and see. Rest of the month looks like SICW next week and MECW the week after that. SLA and IHW don't run again until early October...

WWE Smackdown
-Sheamus O'Shaunessy d. World Champion Christian Cage(n/t) by countout when Christian walked out on the match.
-Beth Phoenix & Natalya Neidhart d. Kaitlyn Bonin & A.J. Lee when Beth pinned A.J. after countering a victory roll attempt into the Glam Slam. Nattie locked Kaitlyn in the Sharpshooter after the match.
-Sin Cara d. Tyson Kidd with a springboard swanton bomb followed by a Lionsault. A few moves done by Sin Cara were reminiscient of Hunico...just saying. :)
-Alberto Del Rio(w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) d. Daniel Bryan with the cross-armbreaker. Wade Barrett attacked Bryan after the match to set up a SummerSlam match.
-Cody Rhodes(w/ Ted DiBiase Jr.) d. Ezekiel Jackson with the Crossrhodes to win the Intercontinental Title. DiBiase put a bag over Jackson's head after the match which simply infuriated the former champion as he dropped DiBiase with the Book Of Ezekiel. Jackson military-pressed DiBiase and threw him out of the ring...Rhodes simply stepped back and allowed his "partner" to splat to the floor.
-Mark Henry d. Johnny Curtis with the World's Strongest Slam. Henry teased destroying Curtis' leg with a chair as he did to The Big Show, Kane, and Vladimir Kozlov...but Sheamus ran into the ring and Henry backed off.
-Randy Orton d. The Great Khali(w/ Jinder Mahal) with the RKO. Christian threatened Orton after the match...sounds like he's got a plan for SummerSlam.
-Beth Phoenix & Natalya Neidhart d. Kaitlyn Bonin & A.J. Lee when Beth pinned A.J. after countering a victory roll attempt into the Glam Slam. Nattie locked Kaitlyn in the Sharpshooter after the match.

TNA XPlosion
Douglas Williams(w/ Brutus Magnus) vs. Shawn Hernandez(w/ El Anarquia, Sarita Stock, & Rosita Fly): The referee ejected everyone from ringside at one point, but Anarquia hid under the ring in the chaos. Sarita & Rosita came back out for a distraction, allowing Anarquia to jump in for a cheapshot. Hernandez set up for the Border Toss, but Magnus jumped the guardrail and ran into the ring to BOOT Hernandez in the face...that allowed Williams to get the fall with a jackknife pin. Next week's semifinal matchup will be Williams against Alex Shelley...the winner of that match faces Magnus in the finals.
WWE Superstars
-Ted DiBiase Jr. d. Trent Baretta with the Dream Street.

TNA Impact
-Mickie James d. Madison Rayne with the jumping DDT to earn the first shot at new Women's Champion Winter Lea.
-X-Division Champion Brian Kendrick d. Robbie Eckos(w/ Cookie Bayless)(n/t) via Sliced Bread #2; Austin Aries did commentary on the match.

-Women's Tag Team Champions Tara Varon & Miss Brooke Tessmacher(they're even calling her Brooke now) d. O.D.B. & Jacquelyn Moore(n/t) when Brooke rolled up Jacquelyn.

Comedy Part 384: Back Again
Location: Comedy Etc. II
Emcee: Dan Schmidt
After: J.C. Sibala
Before: Preston Vaughn
Not much to say, just glad to make the list again. One new joke kinda worked, the rest was kinda ehh. I went fairly early so I could make an excuse like "the crowd wasn't warmed up", but maybe it was just a crappy set for the most part...oh well. Hope to check out at least one of Mark Poolos' shows at Comedy Etc. this weekend.

WWE NXT5.com
Your hosts are Todd Grisham & S. William Regal...notably the open has been shortened to just the still-active rookies. We seem to be losing our pros faster than our rookies these days. Your emcee is Matt Striker(Maryse Ouellet is still recovering from a recent injury, I believe).
Darren Young disrupts a potential egg-carrying challenge...thank goodness. He's gonna ride that "main-evented SummerSlam" thing for all its worth, isn't he? Striker even calls him on that...talking about his past instead of his future. Young promptly decks Striker and challenges him to a one-on-one match.
Justin Gabriel vs. Tyson Kidd: Regal has some insight, nothing that he wrestled Gabriel's father at one time. Oh yeah, Gabriel's first WWE match involved him pinning Regal(we're not mentioning the other participants in said match). Regal drops Lance Storm's name as well, saying Kidd has been training with him recently. Nice thing about the internet shows is that the matches generally get more time...yay wrestling.
Gabriel rallies and connects with a corkscrew plancha, then hits a springboard cross-body but Kidd rolls through for a close near-fall. Gabriel counters a Sharpshooter attempt into a modified Koji Clutch but Kidd makes the ropes. Gabriel goes topside but Kidd cuts him off on the ropes and hits a series of jumping enzuigiris before springboarding into a top-rope Frankensteiner! Cover...gets 2 1/2. Kidd gets frustrated and runs into a Blue Thunder Bomb...for 2 1/2. Kidd takes Gabriel down out of nowhere with a modified Canadian Mapleleaf and Regal picks up on the Lance Storm connection that he mentioned earlier...Gabriel reverses into a modified sunset flip...for two. Gabriel hits an STO out of nowhere...third floor...Fall From Grace...nails it(from a good distance, by the way) and that's the ballgame!
Matt Striker vs. Darren Young: Striker is fired up, but Young cuts him off with a neckbreaker on the ring apron. Young targets the arm, throwing Striker shoulder-first into the ringpost...Striker manages a desperation half-sunset flip for a two-count but Young delivers an overhead suplex. Young tries for a submission with a cravate hold but Striker counters out of it and hits a Gory Bomb(shades of Young's former mentor Chavo Guerrero Jr.)! Striker's nose appears to be bloodied...reversal sequence ends in the Golden Rule(briefly the Zack Attack) and Striker gets a CLOSE near-fall. Blind charge hits turnbuckles and Young hits the Strongbuster to get the duke.
Daniel Bryan finally makes his return to NXT in a backstage segment...he won't be at ringside for Bateman because he feels like Bateman's making a fool of himself lately. Heh.
Titus O'Neil(w/ Hornswoggle & A.J. Lee) vs. Derrick Bateman: Bateman attempts to brawl his way into an advantage and actually does well for himself in that regard. Titus overpowers Bateman who takes out the leg in response, but O'Neil blocks a sunset flip for the surprise pin. Bateman tries for the post-match attack and turns his aggression toward the leprechaun, but the midget escapes harm as usual and Bateman runs into the Clash Of The Titus. Hornswoggle adds a tadpole splash for fun.
