Low Ki and Samoa Joe defeated MVP and Kenny King
Kenny King and Low Ki start things off slow, trying to feel the other out. This continues for a few minutes until Joe and MVP get into the ring. Samoa Joe and Ki kick MVP in the thigh and then Ki flies over the top rope to land on both men. We get back from a commercial and King is in control. He stretches out Low Ki and then hits a leg drop.
Ki reverses a kick and then Joe clotheslines everyone. He hits an atomic drop and King gets a snap slam for a two count. Low Ki is able to fly to the outside and drill MVP with a kick. Samoa Joe goes in and locks in the rear naked choke for the win.
The match started out very slow. When you have two guys like King and Ki, you want fast action right out of the gates. The rivals become teammates and move on to the next round. I really think MVP and Kenny King deserved to win this match. What in the hell have they done recently? MVP has done nothing and a tag team championship around his waist would help him be viewed as more important and not just a talking head for Lashley. The match was better in the end, but it could have been much better.
New King of Hardcore
Bram talks about beating Devon last week and then brings out his brother Magnus. Magnus talks about how they are the new talent and hardcore kings. Devon comes out and he brings Tommy Dreamer with him. The ECW legends chase off the young guys.
Okay. I get it. Bram wants to be the new hardcore guy in the company. Is this really the right thing to do for him? Pairing him with Devon and Tommy Dreamer just seem like they are trying to get the veterans more of a paycheck. Devon is still entertaining and you saw that with his involvement in the tag team series. I just do not see Bram getting to another level when feuding with these older guys. It might be good for a month or two, but when what? You have to hit the reset button again.
The Beautiful People defeated Madison Rayne and Taryn Terrell
Taryn and Madison are not getting along before the match. You can see Rayne not pay much attention to Taryn when she is trying to get a tag. Terrell is able to fight off The Beautiful People with a big kick and a cross body from the top. Madison Rayne comes in and hits shoulder blocks on Love and Sky. She ends up targeting Terrell and takes her out.
Another Knockout turns heel and it seems like Taryn Terrell is going to be booked as the only face aside from Gail Kim. I never liked a face Rayne. When you look at her, she looks like a b*tch. She has that look to be a great heel and the typical girl that we all know. She acts like she is better than everyone. I just hope she does not join The Beautiful People. Let her be herself and look out for number 1. She will be overshadowed by Sky and Love if she joins them.
