Nationals 2B Daniel Murphy likely to miss rest of regular season
RVIMPENY: It's raining today so the Cubs will probably play intrasquad game(s) tomorrow and/or Saturday, but it's pretty much a day-to-day proposition, and a lot of times it's decided at the last minute.
Best bet is to check in at Riverview in the morning and ask somebody what's going on that day.
Thanks Phil, I had the Salt River chart, but based on that, it looks like they hardly play and was not on the Surprise on 9/28...I assume they do not really want fans there anyway? Do you know if they play today, Friday or Sat? Sorry to be a pain, but I am only here until Sunday.
John Arguello at Cubs Den with observations & photos from Tuesday's Cubs instructs intrasquad game:
Guess which one is Vogelberg
Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.
For the rookie hazing "dress up" day, the Mariners made him dress like the Farley Chippendales dancer.
Steven Matz to undergo "imminent" elbow surgery.
Just scroll by.
Pitchers are golfers
Getting tired of the caddy catcher excuse
Dan Vogelbach is working on his firstbase defense in Seattle. Seems to say the Cubs didn't teach him properly.
Oh my! Cards down 2-1 to Reds in the bottom of the 9th -- get a leadoff triple -- and don't score!
Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...

I see it time and time again—the same unhealthy family dynamic.
Parents blame their kids. Kids point the finger right back at their parents. Nobody takes responsibility for their own part in disagreements.
The change that could break down this dynamic should come from the allegedly more mature party—the parents. Instead of pointing the finger at their children, they should look at themselves and ask how they could have acted differently. It probably isn't all their fault, but they almost certainly could have made a change or two.
This slight change in behavior will cause their kids to step back and look at what they could have done better—well maybe not, but it will definitely get them thinking.
Though the parent should be the impetus for change, oftentimes it has to come from the supposedly less mature party—the child. They are often not as stubborn, not quite so set in their ways, more willing to make necessary changes in order to alter family discord.
The two aforementioned options are only suggestions. There is a third choice—continue blaming the other person, keep pointing the finger. Maybe it is better to be right than happy.

University debt policy "unlawful" and "unfair"
Our Vice President for Education Kate Powell spoke to Herald Scotland recently about the University's current debt policy. At present the University can prevent students from re-registering for the next academic year if they have a debt of over £25, regardless of what the debt is owed for. University College London implemented a similar policy last year and were forced to amend this policy by the Competition & Markets Authority as they asserted that it was unlawful for any University to impose academic sanctions for a non-academic debt. (Non-academic debt generally means anything other than tuition fees or field trip expenses.)

Copyright 2011 Houston Chronicle
The driver of an out-of-service Metro bus died this morning after he collided with a dump truck and slammed into a pillar at a railroad overpass on Texas 288 near McGregor.
Metro identified the driver as David Sayers, who was returning the bus to the Hiram Clarke Bus Operations Facility at the end of his shift around 8:30 a.m. when the accident occurred.
Metro said in a statement that Sayers "appears to have lost control of the vehicle after it struck a dump-truck that was also headed south on the same stretch of road." After hitting the pillar, the articulated bus broke in half.
Earlier, witness statements taken by Houston police, who initially investigated the scene, indicate that the driver may have suffered from a medical condition just prior to the crash, said Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties.
Sayers, a Metro employee since 2008, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported and there were no passengers aboard.
The two-vehicle crash occurred on southbound 288 at about 8:30 a.m., according to Metro officials. Metro PD has taken over the crash investigation.
Metro is investigating the wreck. Traffic was backed up on the freeway for hours.
Houston TranStar was advising travelers to avoid Texas 288 southbound because 2 main lanes and a shoulder were closed. One lane was getting by; however, congestion was significant and traffic was moving extremely slowly.
The accident investigation was expected to keep lanes closed for an extended period, so travelers were advised to choose an alternate route, including Main Street or Interstate 45, TranStar officials said in a statement.

Ongoing budget cuts are whittling down the federal workforce to the tune of tens of thousands of jobs, including wide-ranging losses in Alabama.
Office of Personnel Management data compiled by Federal Times shows the federal government has lost a net of more than 61,400 jobs from December 2010 to December 2013. The job loss numbers include those who left due to buyouts or early retirements, as well as hiring freezes and attrition.
Alabama lost 2,724 federal jobs during that time frame. That number is the 9th highest number of job losses in the country, and close to numbers from much more populated states such as Texas and New York.
Here are the top 10 areas for federal job losses in the last three years:
- Washington, D.C. – 9,423
- California – 5,684
- Pennsylvania – 4,611
- New Jersey – 4,188
- Georgia – 3,890
- Illinois – 3,477
- New York – 2,944
- Texas – 2,818
- Alabama - 2,724
Maryland picked up 4,080 jobs, most of which Federal Times notes, moved out of Washington, D.C. to new Department of Defense facilities as part of the Base Realignment and Closure process.
Alabama has about 50,000 federal workers, the majority of whom - roughly 28,000 - work for the Department of Defense. The state has about 10,000 postal workers.

Regulatory reform a long wait and a long ways off
March 13, 2010 - Mike Maneval
The Futures Industry Association gathered in Boca Raton, Florida this past week, 18 months after the economic downturn's initial shockwaves. Some of the sentiment that could be heard, Reuters reports, was surprise at the slow pace of revamping or remodeling oversight.
Two of the voices heard on the matter were Alan Blinder, an economics professor at Princeton who observed, "we've done nothing in the way of financial reform," and CEO Roger Liddell of European firm LCH.Clearnet, who finds a more proactive regulatory stance welcome and clearly coming but yet "perhaps slower than people might have expected."
And some suggest - logically enough - that were the U.S. and European Union to reach decisions about the new regulatory climate, it would take months for the framework to be truly assembled. Jill Sommers of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission told Mark Weinraub and Jonathan Spicer of Reuters it'd be 2012 before things would be "in place."
Reuters' report, for that matter, leaves little reason to believe decisions will be reached. Weinraub and Spicer report talks in the Senate have again broken down and Sen. Chris Dodd, the Connecticut senator who chairs the banking committee, indicates he'll forge ahead alone on crafting legislation.

"I made up my mind last night," he told Scout,com's Miller Safrit. "I talked with my family about Alabama, but I decided on Tennessee."
Creer's exceptional vision and cutback ability makes him a good candidate for success in the SEC where speed infused defenses are prone over pursue.
"Creer is a big kid and a powerful runner," said Jeremy Patterson, Southwest recruiting analyst for Scout.com. You'll almost never see just one man bring him down." "He has good cutback ability and solid vision. He doesn't have great speed, but he's fast enough. His biggest strength is without a doubt his tackle breaking ability."
Tatum teammate Darrius Moore is hardly a throw in. Rated No. 56 at his position, the 6-foot, 180-pound, four-star wideout runs a 4.4. He, along with good friend Creer, led Tatum to back-to-back Class-3A state crown in 2005 and 2006. Moore caught a combined 30 TDs during those title runs and returned a kickoff the distance as a senior. He bench presses 285 pounds and squats 385. Moore chose Tennessee over offers from Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas A&M and Arkansas.
Creer and Moore bring UT's commitment total to 29 with several big-name prospects still hanging in the balance. That means some won't qualify or will be enrolling in Jan. 2008 instead of the summer or fall of 2007. The Vols recruiting class is currently listed at No. 3 by Scout.com behind Florida and Texas and ahead of USC, LSU and South Carolina.
Perhaps the best way to describe this first class collection of Blue Chip football talent is call it Taylor-made.

With the advent of the new technologies and software that are helpful in performing various activities, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the simplicity of these applications. In Australia, technology and software applications have not taken the place of old, worn out manual methods. But due to the fact people only need ease without putting in any effort. Despite the fact, that the effort needed to be input is less and the facility offered by these gadgets for easy task handling, is for a lifetime. So, for those who are not familiar with the event management online services or software for event management, may think that they would not be able to use them easily like others do. It is because they don't know how they should start and what kind of input is required to get them started with these tremendous applications. As a matter of fact, planning and event and managing the venue are huge tasks and if you know, how you can make use of the latest venue software or venue management software to make it simple and easy, you will be amazed definitely.
Here are a few tips to get you started and conquer the skills quickly:
Take time to compare the different venue booking software or event booking software, that are available online. Try to figure out the services or applications that are included. At that point you will get sufficient information about the software and will be able to pick the one you feel easy to work.
Spend some time to read through the instructions of the event management software, or ask for the initial training by the company to whom you have contacted or planned to purchase the software. They'll definitely guide you through the whole process. And you would be able to use each and every feature easily.
Never try to implement the software without a test phase. Be sure to try out a little test run to check how will you be implementing it live to manage your event, actually.

Homemade Apple Fun: Apple Cider Donut HolesKelsey Banfield
Hip hip hooray for apple season! My daughter started school this week and we decided to celebrate with some homemade apple cider donut holes. My friend Nicole actually asked me for a cider donut recipe last year because her kids are addicted to them as my daughter is. I've been dragging my feet in coming up something because I really wanted to wait for apple cider season. Now that it is here, these donut holes are one of the first things I made with my first half gallon of the season! Moist and sugary, they are just the perfect fall treat for your family this season.
Apple Cider Donut Holes
adapted from Lara Ferroni
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup buttermilk
Vegetable oil for frying
1. In a small bowl whisk the flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar, then add the egg yolks and mix well until pale and fluffy. Then, add in the vanilla, cider and buttermilk. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
3. Pour 2-inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat to 300F (use a candy thermometer to check the temperature). Pinch off 2 1/2-inch sized balls of the dough and drop in the hot oil, turning them once so each side cooks for about 1 minute. Use a ladle to spoon out the cooked donut holes and place on a plate lined witha paper towel. Let cool slightly then roll in cinnamon sugar, or desired glaze, before eating!

Excessive Fruit Intake Can Cause Diabetes?
While this is one individuals response to a high fruit diet, it does call to question what sort of vulnerabilities were in place in his body to make him react to fruit in such a way. And I think it is cautionary.
If you're worried about fruit consumption, maybe pick up a blood glucose monitor and check your levels after you eat a piece of fruit. If your blood sugar is spiking, it's probably best to limit your fruit intake. If not, it's probably still a good idea to cut back to maybe 3 pieces a day.
And like dragonmamma mentioned, eating the fruit with something more hearty, almond butter, cheese, meat, would likely offset any spikes you might experience.

What price will Vick pay for biggest gamble of life?
August 20, 2007 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
Breaking News on www.altoonamirror.com (click here):
Vick to plead guilty to dogfighting charges
RICHMOND, Va. -- AP Story: Click Here - Michael Vick's lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback's career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a possible prison term.
The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines most likely would call for less. Vick's plea hearing is Aug. 27.
The announcement came as a grand jury that could add new charges met in private. Prosecutors had said that a superseding indictment was in the works, but Vick's plea most likely means he will not face additional charges.
The gambling allegations alone could trigger a lifetime ban under the NFL's personal conduct policy.
It's going to be interesting to see just how much justice prevails... My gut already hurts at the possibility...

The U.S. is addicted to war. Stopping this horrible situation is up to the American people. The way we do this is by getting informed. These documentaries can help.
What a difference 28 pages can make—especially when they are a recently declassified portion of the 2002 congressional inquiry, chaired by Graham, into the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001. (Pictured, then-President George W. Bush with a Saudi diplomat.)
The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were a direct outgrowth of the fundamentalist Wahhabist ideology that defines the oil-rich kingdom. For this reason alone, the Saudi regime should be held accountable.
If the government decides you are an "enemy combatant," you cannot defend yourself in court. It's a terrible precedent and a threat even to U.S. citizens. We should immediately release the alleged terrorist.
The leftist Beirut newspaper al-Safir comments scathingly on the name change of the Syrian al-Qaida affiliate, the Nusra Front, to the Syria Conquest Front.
Al-Qaida's reported No. 3 operative is a bad guy, but he did not help plot the Sept. 11 attacks and has provided no actionable intelligence since his capture—and subsequent torture—in March 2002.
I think we may conclude that the decapitation strategy of dealing with al-Qaida does not work and has never worked.
We waded into conflicts in the Middle East we did not understand, propelled forward by fantasy. And our folly spawned a death spiral of political, social and economic collapse, widespread poverty, massive displacement, misery and radical jihadism.
It's a refrain that has been played and replayed before, but some Americans might need yet another refresher.
The Oscar-winning film "Zero Dark Thirty" became a prestigious awards vehicle for its co-creators, journalist-turned-screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow. It also became a source of controversy—and all the more so after this latest news.
Interviews with more than a dozen former FBI, CIA and other federal officials found compelling evidence that the 1996 bombing of a U.S. Air Force barracks in Saudi Arabia was carried out by Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida—not Iran-supported Saudi Hezbollah, as U.S. officials claim.
As soon as Donald Trump brayed that John McCain is "not a war hero" and went on to mock his suffering in North Vietnamese captivity, nearly every would-be presidential candidate in the GOP immediately sought to wrap the loud-mouthed celebrity's gaffe around his neck.
In this installment of The Real News Network's interview series "Reality Asserts Itself," Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer tells host Paul Jay about the role the U.S. played in creating its current terrorist enemies—and on a broader scale, why history matters.
On Wednesday the White House released a list of English-language documents found among the al-Qaida founder's belongings in 2011, after U.S. Navy SEALs killed him in a compound in Pakistan, to which he had been traced.
Of course the investigative reporter used anonymous sources in his exposé on the bin Laden raid. Only with anonymous sources can journalists get past the wall that the Obama administration has built by prosecuting whistleblowers.
How did the veteran journalist's recent investigation into how the Obama administration might not have shot straight with its account of how Osama bin Laden met his end in 2011 turn into another tedious attempt to shoot the messenger by certain members of the U.S. media?
The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has put forth a series of explosive allegations about the Obama administration's role in the 2011 killing of the al-Qaida founder.
The movie "American Sniper" lionizes the most despicable aspects of U.S. society—including the belief that Christians are called upon to exterminate "lesser breeds."
Al-Qaida's chapter in Yemen was officially behind the deadly shooting at the Charlie Hebdo headquarters in Paris on Jan. 7, at least according to al-Qaida's chapter in Yemen.
ISIS is employing the same brutal tactics used in the late 1940s to create the Jewish state. As the Zionist guerrillas did, it is swiftly and perhaps permanently redrawing the map of the Middle East.
President Obama marked the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the grounds of one of the hijackers' targets, the Pentagon, commemorating the occasion with rhetorical flourishes that invited Americans to see themselves as fearless and ever on the up-and-up.
Minus a couple of invasions, the steps being considered or already in effect to deal with "the threat of ISIS" are a reasonable summary of the last 13 years of what was once called the Global War on Terror and now has no name at all.
The analogy between 1914 and 2001, like all measurements of the present with yardsticks from the past, is useful only for querying events, not for predicting them. There are equally important differences between the two moments, some of them obvious, others less so.
The increase of polio in Pakistan is being linked to a secret CIA effort to hunt Osama bin Laden, in which the agency set up fake vaccination clinics in the city of Abbottabad in order to get DNA from the bin Laden family. The Taliban subsequently banned immunization efforts and carried out deadly attacks on medical workers.
A New York jury on Tuesday found Osama bin Laden's son-in-law guilty of conspiracy to kill Americans and supporting terrorists over his role as al-Qaida spokesman in 2001-2002.

Sept. 11 is not just the anniversary of the fall of the twin towers in 2001. Decades before, despotic Gen. Augusto Pinochet led a coup against democratically elected Salvador Allende on the same date.

Bradley Manning, the young Army intelligence analyst who leaked thousands of public documents and passed them on to WikiLeaks, has done far more for U.S. national security than SEAL Team 6.
Nation Books
The killing of U.S. born, al-Qaida-affiliated cleric Anwar al-Awlaki set a dangerous precedent here in America.
With "Blowback," Chalmers Johnson aimed to paint a portrait of how America's informal empire and its historically unprecedented garrisoning of the world looked to others, and so explain why animosity and blowback were building globally. Now we have a secret history of 21st-century American war in Jeremy Scahill's latest book, "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield."

Consider the plethora of blood-soaked little anniversaries that Americans could observe, if they cared to, from a decade-plus of the former Global War on Terror.
AP/Biswaranjan Rout
A day will undoubtedly come when Osama bin Laden will occupy the same place in 21st century history books as Gavrilo Princip holds in the histories of the 20th century. Both committed acts that provoked great wars, brought down empires and profoundly altered their times.
A short film about the Iraq invasion explores how the horror and threat that were forced upon the American people and the world were generated from within the White House, not by Iraq and Afghanistan.
U.S. Government
The SEAL Team 6 member tells interviewer Phil Bronstein that he has received little assistance from the government since retiring from the Navy after serving 16 years. And because he left four years short of the 20 required to get retirement benefits, he says he won't receive anything from the government or the Navy: no health insurance, no pension, no protection for himself or his family.

This Inauguration Day, Washington was in a lockdown mode unmatched by any inauguration from another era—not even Lincoln's second inaugural in the midst of the Civil War, or Franklin Roosevelt's during World War II, or John F. Kennedy's at the height of the Cold War. Yet the subject got remarkably little attention during the ensuing media blitz.
When "Zero Dark Thirty" opens nationally Friday, many moviegoers will already have made up their minds.

The Invisible Government, published by David Wise and Thomas B. Ross in 1964, was groundbreaking, shadow-removing, illuminating. It caused a fuss from its very first paragraph, which was then a shockeroo: "There are two governments in the United States today. One is visible. The other is invisible."
AP/Sony - Columbia Pictures
So far, I have not seen any negative reviews of "Zero Dark Thirty" and it is with some reluctance that I'm about to write one.
Sony Pictures
"Zero Dark Thirty" is piling up rave reviews despite perpetuating the myth that torture helps combat terrorism. Glenn Greenwald objects to praise for a film that propagandizes war crimes as a necessary evil.
Mark Bowden's "The Finish" reveals something you might not have known about the plan to kill Osama bin Laden: The Obama administration had considered a third option for taking out the al-Qaida leader—a sniper drone still under development.

Journalist Michael Tracey was disheartened on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., where an arena full of liberals joined Vice President Joe Biden in cheering the extralegal killing of Osama bin Laden. Tracey sought the counsel of New York Times columnist David Brooks, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Reps. Dennis Kucinich and Barney Frank.

For those who never knew, the Bush White House received numerous warnings from the counterterrorism desk at the CIA of an imminent attack by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida on the United States. Former New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald tells of the still-classified briefs issued to the Bush administration in the months leading up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
By David Fitzsimmons, The Arizona Star
Students all over America are defaulting on their student loans, especially those who attended private, profit-making institutions; Democrats' chants about Osama bin Laden's death take us back to George W. Bush's boasts about Saddam Hussein; meanwhile, new scientific studies prove organic produce contains fewer pesticides and bacteria. These discoveries and more after the jump.

It's the biggest feather in the president's re-election cap: the confirmed killing of America's most wanted criminal. But a new group plans to air commercials diminishing the president's role in Osama bin Laden's assassination.

Jordan Shimmell said before leaving for Russia last week to box in the World Cup of Petroleum Countries Tournament in Siberia that he felt he was in the best shape of his career.
The 23-year-old Hudsonville amateur heavyweight proved that Friday when he beat Russia's Abdulkhamid Nurmagomedov 10-8 in Surgut, Russia.
"I was up every round," Shimmell said. "I felt very dominant and the score should have been much higher, but I fought a Russian in Russia. So I am proud. I fought strong and used my reach."
Shimmell, who received a first-round bye on Thursday, will have his next fight Saturday in the semifinals.

We exit the opening vignette and are brought to the once again filled to the brim Hammerstein, whore lighting up the night, already pumped up. Unfortunately, the first sound the Hammerstein hears on the night, beyond the video package song, is that of
Break Down the Walls
, the tune for the
STILL AOW World Champion Chris Jericho
. The resounding whiplash in reaction doesnt seem to faze the suit and tie clad champion, whom is once again accompanied by
Paul The Great Wright
. Even worse, Jericho has the most sinister businessmans grin on his face. Perhaps most unfortunate for everyone is that Jericho has a microphone in his hand
Chris Jericho
Good evening, simpletons.
~The crowd gives their heat in response to being belittled
Chris Jericho
Despite overwhelming odds stacked against me and my World title from this corrupt administration, I still stand here your AOW Champion.
~The Hammerstein does not approve
Chris Jericho
So I want each of you finally acknowledge that I am undisputedly the worthiest man to ever hold gold in any company under any management in any time this is only the beginning of a worthy reign from a worthy man.
~Yet even more heat
Chris Jericho
Despite everything Paul Heyman and Mick Foley have thrown my way, I have remained champion! I have never been pinned or made to submit. Yet now, not only have I made Shawn Michaels submit to me, but I have pinned Rob Van Dam. Ergo and by my estimations, that means that I have absolutely NO challengers left for my AOW title.
~Yet even MORE heat
Chris Jericho
So you people have no excuse to keep antagonizing me. The boys in the back have nothing more to say to me. And I have no reason anymore to sit out here and try to convince all of you to listen to my worthy words. RVD had his chance and shall get no more. Shawn Michaels never deserved one anyway, but my friend Paul here took care of him. So I will just take my AOW World title and wash my hands of this senselessness.
~Sustained heat
Chris Jericho
So I requested this time to speak on my championship situation. The situation is simple I am Chris Jericho and I am your AOW Champion. And I have the power. And now that there are no more challengers to topple, I will be on my way.
Jericho sustains the heat, as he prepares to leave the ring with Wright, no music or anything. Hes suddenly stopped at the base of the ramp when suddenly
by Pantera hits the speakers, as
Rob Van Dam
makes his way through the blood-red curtain, tense, yet confident look on his face and a mike in hand he stops on the stage to a tremendous pop, as always.
You can stop right there, Jericho. Youre so busy runnin your mouth about how much better you are than everybody, you might miss the information I have. And Im pretty sure youll wanna hear it, dude.
~Jericho stops in his tracks and stares down Van Dam. Wright takes a few steps from behind Jericho, but Jericho tells the man beast to stop.
See, our General Manager told me something that even I didnt realize. And thats that I earned my #1 Contenders shot for a one-on-one match with Chris Jericho. A match I still havent gotten.
~Jerichos face goes from confident and listening to one of anger, as he knows where this might be going
So Jericho, dude, I still have a match against you for that AOW title. That the oh-so kind Mick Foley told me Ill be able to face you, one on one, at the very first AOW Pay-Per-View, World Ablaze.
~The crowd lets out a roar of a pop here, solidifying the PPV, and knowing that Jericho cant get out of this one
Oh, and as for you and your power yeah, no, dude. Mick also granted me the power to choose your opponents from now until you face me for that title.
~HUGE pop for that, as the look on Jerichos face is absolutely dumbfounded
He just thought that with your undeserving ego raging around here, hed show you what power really is. And Im happy to help him.
~Van Dam gives an innocent little shrug that gets under Jerichos skin even more
Im not tellin who youll be facing tonight, though. That ruins half the fun of actually putting you in a match. So lets see if you can plan one step ahead of something you cant even see in front of you.
~Yet another pop on the pause, as Jerichos face is beet red
So, at World Ablaze, Chris Jericho, all this nonsense youre talkin is gonna end. All this worthy man stuff doesnt happen anymore. And only one worthy man is gonna walk out of here with the AOW W-H-C R V D!!
~The crowd joins in on the thumbs, as Van Dam makes his final words known to the now so pissed, hes absolutely speechless Jericho
We return from to AOW backstage in an office setting, where
Torrie Wilson
enters the room to a positive reaction, but she looks on the verge of tears. In the chair of the desk in front of her is
General Manager Mick Foley
who somberly greets Miss Wilson
Mick Foley
Um hey, Torrie. You wanted to see me?
Torrie Wilson
Mick, I need you to reverse Christians suspension. Look, I know what he did was sick, and-and unforgivable but please, Mick, you have to know that hes hes in a very dark place right now and he needs all the help he can get.
Mick Foley
Im sorry, Torrie. But suspending Christian wasnt my decision, it was Paul Heymans. I cant override his decisions. But Torrie, if you dont mind me asking why is it that you seem to care about Christian Cage so much?
Torrie Wilson
No, its okay, Mick a few years ago, me and Christian were, of course, co-workers in World Wrestling Entertainment. The hectic schedule we had to deal with was it was a bit much for me. I dont deal with intensity very well. I wanted help in the worst way.
Mick Foley
So you turned to Christian?
Torrie Wilson
Well, I didnt turn to anyone at first. I was completely by myself. And every guy Ive ever turned to for anything has always wanted something in return. So that just...prolonged even more suffering for me. And then I turned to you, Mick.
Mick Foley
I was just gonna say, I do remember all the constant phone calls we had.
Torrie Wilson
Exactly though, Mick. I appreciate what you tried to do for me, Mick, but you werent there. I couldnt deal with all of it when you werent completely there. And all at the same time, the scheduling got worse, my mom got sick, my dad was starting to date someone I wasnt approving of, and my anorexia was even starting to come back again I felt so alone.
~Wilson has to stop and try to compose herself, Foley handing her a tissue
Torrie Wilson
And then yes, I did turn to Christian. For the first time, I truly trusted a guy with everything. And he was there for me through everything, even when people didnt even know. We started traveling together and he really helped me take a lot of the weight off my shoulders. So I was able to be there for my mother and make her better and get my father back. I got over my eating disorders and I got my life back and all of that was thanks to Christian. And he never asked for anything in return. Mick, Christians been like a brother to me for so long, and I know exactly what he feels like now. I know he needs all the help he can get and he needs to be here.
Mick Foley
Torrie as much as it weighs heavy on my heart to bring him back, its out of my hands and
~Foley is cut off at this point, as Chris Jericho has just busted in the door, changing the mood of the room completely
Chris Jericho
What in the HELL is wrong with you?? I have defeated RVD already in front of the entire world and you want to just give him a title match all willy-nilly?!? On the very first Pay-Per-View, no less??
~Jerichos hands go flailing on that last part. Foley looks at Torrie before she begins walking towards the door
Torrie Wilson
Um I guess well talk later
~Wilson takes a look at Chris Jericho, who makes a face at her before she leaves the frame, leaving the GM alone in a space with the Worthy Champion
Mick Foley
Chris, what in the HELL is wrong with YOU, huh? I just had someone in my office who was very much in need of my help, and youre just gonna bust in here and start givin me hell?
Chris Jericho
Youre damn right I
~Jericho realizes that hes acting very uh unworthy and stops himself, gathers his composure, fixes his tie, then stands up straight, his hands clasped together around his waist. He then takes a second to smooth his hair before continuing again, this time in a much more collected state
Chris Jericho
If you had any sense of common knowledge, Foley, you would know that as the AOW World Champion, I am at the top of this mountain. And if those who oppose me wish to topple me, once they try and fail, they go rolling back down all the way to the bottom. Then they have to climb it again to get what they want. You dont just give a man the summit. Especially not one who recently squandered his chances.
Mick Foley
And if
had any sense of common knowledge, Chris, you would know that as the General Manager, I have the right to construct that very mountain in whatever shape I want for those men to climb. Rob Van Dam did have
shot. But hes very much earned the right to use
and exclusively his shot. And if you dont agree, then Im sure the bruise he left on your best friend Pauls giant ass will agree with me.
~The crowd gets a good rib out of this one
Mick Foley
And besides, Chris, if you had any sense of common knowledge of being champion, youd know that that title isnt just something to parade around here holding and proclaiming how worthy you are to hold it. And before you go off preaching about how much power you have as champion, get it straight that you have NONE. You are a target. And besides I thought with this egotistical power trip or whatever youre on, itd knock you down a notch or two if I finally gave someone else some power.
~Jerichos face goes from calm to as if he just sniffed curdled milk and nobody in the apartment bothered to throw it out
Chris Jericho
Give someone else some power ? Hmph. Well see who has the power Matchmaker Mick. Just you wait.
~Jericho veers closer and closer to Foleys face with each word of that, before practically snarling at him in the final line. Jericho takes he and his nice suit and walks away, his face twisting into some sort of smirk once his back is turned to Foley
~Back at ringside
is playing as we fade back, with
Jamie Noble
already being in the ring, doing warm-ups. When hes announced, Noble gets a decent mixed reaction, partially due to his short performance in the Tag Team Turmoil contest last week.
Joey Styles
Well, welcome to AOW Wednesday Night Oblivion, ladies and gentlemen, where were moments away from our opening contest here with Jamie Noble, who had a somewhat disappointing showing last week at our first ever Supershow, but what about that absolutely huge news we just received to kick off the show? RVD, the #1 Contender, with complete control of Chris Jerichos fate for the six weeks between now and our first PPV, World Ablaze, on November 11th!
The only thing that should be ablaze right now is Mick Foleys contract. How in the hell do you go off making a decision like that for a man who clearly lost last week and screwing your own worthy champion? Im just waitin for somebody, anybody to take that man out of that chair and show him how treally do busness!
Joey Styles
Well regardless of what you think about all this, John, there will be a match in six weeks in Boston, Massachusetts in the TD Banknorth Garden between RVD and Chris Jericho for the gold!
Dont you EVER tell me that it dont matter what I think, jackass!
we then hear a very unfamiliar hum, and after a few mysterious seconds, the yin-yang big screen comes to life, showing us clips from the video packages weve been seeing for the past three weeks of a man in a locker room lacing up in
, and
tights before opening a locker and putting on his mask. Lights shine out of the empty mask, which transition into his entire body glowing in the sunlight through the one window in the locker room. The humming continues to grow louder until it seemingly progresses into what sounds like helicopter blades fwapping in high-speed rotation. The crowd is buzzing at what this could be, especially with the big-screen now going dramatically black. It keeps going until we hear what sounds like the helicopter fwapping transitioned into an upbeat, Hispanic, hard rock tune
The tune continues until we see the very first in-person look at
Aero Star
, the top luchadore prospect in the world. Hes wearing what looks to be shoulder pads that are connected to a cloak of sorts that covers up his visible body from the neck down, very similar to Ultimo Dragon, but Stars stops at his knees. The reason for this is seen very quickly, as Aero Star rushes on down to the ring in almost full sprint, the cloak that concealed him now whipping behind him like a superheros cape. He leaps cleanly from the floor to the apron, grabbing onto a turnbuckle post, swinging to the other side, with his loose arm giving the crowd his seemingly signature salute. He finally steps between the ropes to a welcome reception, removing his cape and getting ready to begin. The lucha mask conceals Star's whole expression, but his visible mouth is in an excited smirk. The look on Jamie Nobles face, meanwhile is some kind of confused priceless.
~Cruiserweight Duel~
Aero Star
Jamie Noble
This contest takes a second or two to start, as AOWs resident redneck, Jamie Noble, stares at his masked luchadore opponent in great confusion. Aero Star seemingly is aware of this confusion, grinning and giving Noble another salute before running right past him and rebounding off the ropes. Noble turns to see his incredibly agile opponent flying at him with some
headscissors that spin and turns into an arm drag
that sends Noble out of the ring, still completely in confusion. The confusion is still there when Aero Star gives Noble another salute from inside the ring before rushing across the ring,
leaping clean through the middle rope, hands by his side, head first the Topé Torpedo!!!
Both men are downed from the explosive impact outside now, but Aero gets to his feet relatively quickly, possibly fueled by the crowd going absolutely nuts because theyd never seen something like that before. The referee is going on with a count-out, but Star brings Noble back to the ring with him, throwing him in before coming back in himself. Its Nobles turn to surprise Star now, as he delivers a low dropkick to Stars knees, forcing his masked face to hit the canvas hard.
Nobles pitbull like mannerisms become apparent here, as he jumps the downed luchador with a
camel clutch
that bends the flexible Stars spine in a way it should not. Noble seems a tad rabid, finally letting go with one hand, keeping the clutch in, while delivering
crossface punches to Stars face
. Though we cant see most of Stars face, we do hear him scream in pain as Noble keeps the hold in. He finally lets go by forcing Stars face into the canvas. He tries for a cover 1 2 NO!!
Noble whips Star into the ropes, his confusion completely gone now, Noble lowering his head for the rebound. Star
rolls across the back
of Noble on the rebound, continuing to rebound on the opposite rope. Noble cant think as fast as Star is moving, with Star rushing back towards Noble and leaps onto his shoulders,
before standing on them
. The crowd is on fire for this, but he takes it a step further, leaping over and behind Noble now,
rolling him into a sunset flip
. 1 2 NO! Noble rolls his way out!
Noble follows up on getting to his feet by rushing at the still sitting Star and
driving his knee into his skull
. This knocks Star right back down to the canvas, prompting a cover from Noble. 1 2 NO! Aero Star forces a shoulder up, which Noble quickly grabs and locks into an armbar. Star is surprised by this, but Noble keeps the armbar locked in for several fierce seconds before Aero forces both men to get to their feet, Noble still gripping the costumed arm of Star. As Star fights to get his arm back, Noble punts him in the gut and attempts what looks to be a
Tiger Driver
, but upon flipping Star into the powerbomb position, Aero Star performs a
beautiful, quick hurricanrana
Noble gets to his feet, only to see Aero Star slingshotting off the second rope with what looks to be a
springboard crossbody
¸ but upon making contact with Noble,
turns into a Tornado DDT!
Noble is dead on the canvas, being absolutely spiked, which leads Star to go to the top rope, his back towards Noble. Star then makes one final salute to the crowd before leaping with an
, getting the pinfall with an explosive, implosive maneuver.
Winner: Aero Star
at 4:11
Aero Star rolls off Noble to a very nice ovation, many in the crowd simply amazed at some of the things theyd seen. Aero simply salutes the audience on his way back up the ramp, selling the rib-crunching impact of his finisher, but back inside the ring, Jamie Noble does not look like a happy camper to say the least.
Joey Styles
WOW!!! What an absolute explosive debut from the man they call Aero Star! And what do you call
finishing maneuver, Bradshaw?
Joey, Ive been to three rodeos and two goat ropins, but I have never seen anything like what I just saw!
Joey Styles
And thats only the first bit of incredible things we can expect from AOWs newest roster member, the hottest lucha libre prospect in the world, the human quicksilver, Aero Star!
~Backstage, locker room area
As we head to the locker room, we come to the image of
Rey Mysterio
with rolled up pants and a kneebrace, fixing it so it fits his injured left knee the right way. Mysterio looks up to see a very welcome face, as he winds up smiling. When the camera pans a bit and the figure walks in,
Bryan Danielson
enters the frame, newly won Cruiserweight Championship draped proudly over his shoulder.
Hows that knee, Rey?
Forget my knee, hows that title, man? Feels good, doesnt it?
Oh yeah. Im not denyin that. Especially since I got it from kickin Gregory Helms head in.
Yeah, I guess thats a good side effect, huh?
Speaking of side effects, Rey, that thing isnt looking so good.
~Danielson points to Reys braced knee
Will you forget about me, man? Im gonna be fine. You need to look out for yourself now. Theres gonna be a lot of guys gunnin for that gold. Gregory Helms was just the beginning, man. But I got faith in you, Bryan. A lota faith. But if anybody can be trusted with being the best Cruiserweight, I cant think of anyone else but you.
~Crowd buzzes a bit for Mysterios big put-over
Thank you, Rey. That means a lot coming from you.
~The two share what starts as a handshake before becoming a quick embrace. We dont see it for very long, however, for almost as soon as it happens, the screen starts to break up and get very unclear, static gradually starting to take over the screen. When it finally engulfs the screen, it suddenly gets cleared again, showing a web camera view that were all familiar with by now, as
Gregory Helms
bursts onto the screen, his face taking up the entire camera space
Gregory Helms
What the hell is this?!? A hunky-dory happy moment between an undeservin champion and a cripple? And both of them are allowed here in AOW while Gregory Helms, the rightful and only true Cruiserweight Champion, is denied his title by terrible officiatin? I dont even have to tell you two suckas why youve just been hacked by Helms.
~Helms shakes his head in disappointment
Gregory Helms
It makes me sick tmy stomach seein you with that title, Danielson. How a nobody like you could win that can only be explained one way bullcrap. You made it through that Tag Team Turning Point match riding on Gregory Helms. I got the pins to get you to the end. I gave everything I had to get there. And I was completely robbed
~Helms alters the camera view now, showing its not a web camera, but a home video recorder of sorts, the same he had on Oblivion several weeks ago. We see this as he turns the camera towards an actual computer, the camera seen in the reflection. On the computer screen is a picture of Helms being pinned by Danielson on the Supershow, with his foot in a very peculiar place
Gregory Helms
You see that? My foot was underneath the bottom rope, during the whole damn three count, meanin the referee was clearly biased and a poor official fnot stoppin. First, he conjured up this magical image that I was grabbin the ropes when I clearly wasnt. Then, he does this and completely ignores what was actually there.
~Helms has really convinced himself that he didnt grab the ropes last week and is the victim here. He turns the camera away from the computer, back towards him
Gregory Helms
See, an your view of things is twisted and terrible too, Rey. Jus like your knee. Gregory Helms is not just the beginning. I am the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega of the Cruiserweight division! There is no was! I will ALWAYS be the best! I will ALWAYS be the true, rightful champion! And you best believe that you betta not get too comfy with that title, Danielson. I promise you it will belong to the true Best in the World soon enough.
As we return from the break, were greeted with the sound of
erupting from the stage, as
The Mexicools
make their way to the ring after a very impressive showing last week in their tag team debut in the Turning Point contest. Theyre all set for action this week, but theyre all smiles once again, having a bit of fun on the turnbuckles before getting set for a tag battle.
sounds over the system as
Jack Evans
exits to a generous pop, he too, having a very impressive showing last week alongside his partner. Evans feet are moving to the rapping rhythm of his own theme music, doing a little jig for his amigos in the ring. Evans doesnt move from the stage, area, however, awaiting his tag partner.
plays now, as
Low Ki
bursts through the red curtain to another solid ovation, with Evans dance moving changing to the beat of Low Kis instrumental. And much like last week, Low Ki has a serious look on his face while Evans is dancing. And again like last week, Ki has to tap Evans on the shoulder and wave a finger at him to tell him to stop before both men descend to the ring. Perhaps these two are more permanent ?
The Mexicools
Low Jack
Super Crazy once again starts for his team, while Low Ki begins things this go round for Low Jack. The two men circle one another before locking up nice and tight before Ki breaks out of it with the headlock, wrenching the head of Crazy. As Crazy whips Ki across the ring, the rebound sees Super Crazy leap frogging over the still running Ki, who rebounds again, but surprises Crazy with his whipping speed, catching the Crazy luchadore from behind with a surprise bulldog. Early cover 1 2 NO!
The early quickness of both men showing here, but Ki is quick to rebound off the ropes again and has a
kick aimed for the head of the sitting Crazy
, but he luckily dodges the beheading and reaches through Kis legs, trying to roll him up 1 2 NO!! Ki kicks his legs up and over, rolling onto his feet, rushing at the now standing Crazy. Crazy lifts a high elbow, however, catching Ki right under the chin, stunning him. Crazy takes this opportunity to rush at the ropes springboard off and nail the
springboard elbow!!
Crazy with another cover 1 2 .3-NO!! Not over yet, as Crazy pulls himself up to tag in his amigo, Psicosis.
Psicosis, immediately upon tagging, tries to follow up the springboard elbow with a
springboard leg drop
onto the downed warrior, but Ki is able to roll away just in time for Psicosis to fall on his tush. Ki sees the still sitting-in-shock Psicosis, rebounding off the ropes in front of him and
nailing him in the jaw with the rolling wheel kick!
Psicosis falls back hard 1 2 NO!! Ki takes his warrior pride on over to his corner, where he tags in
Jack Evans
for the first time to a great reaction. After the tag, Ki holds Psicosis in what looks like a
dragon suplex hold
, only for Evans to leap clean over the top rope,
nail Psicosis in the jaw with a dropkick, dominoing into an actual dragon suplex!!
Nice tag team maneuver shown, but before Evans can go for the cover, Super Crazy jumps in to save his partner.
Crazy leaps in to knock Evans on the spine before snapping him over and delivering a dropkick to the exposed vertebrae. He then turns to see the apron-bound Low Ki and hits him with a hard right, only for Low Ki to hit him right back with an even harder right, sending Crazy back a few steps and having the ref force him back to the apron. With Evans having some wind knocked out of him, he still attempts to cover Psicosis 1 2 3 NO!!! Psicosis doesnt go down so easy, forcing Evans to bring the lucha vet to his feet. As he does so, Psicosis gets a small spark of life and his a
sitout jawbreaker
that sends Evans reeling a few steps and allows Psicosis to hit a running reverse elbow to his jaw. Psicosis then grabs him from behind and tags back in Crazy. Psicosis lifts Evans into a wheelbarrow position, with Crazy grabbing his face and driving it into the canvas, nailing the tandem
sitout facebuster
. The roles of both men are reversed for that time, but Crazys cover isnt 1 2 3 NO!!! Evans wont stay down!
Crazy rubs the long hair of his friend but enemy in Evans before bringing him to his feet and attempting to hit him with a hard kick, but Evans groggily blocks it, delivering a kick of his own. He drunkenly tries to rebound off the ropes, only to get caught in a
, sending his head spinning even more. Crazy stays in control by running at the downed Evans, leaping, and crunching him beneath a
running senton
. Crazy rolls Evans back towards more center ring 1 2 3-NO! The bout continues as Crazy goes over to tag in Psicosis, as both men approach the downed Evans, Crazy dropping an elbow while Psicosis hits a leaping leg drop.
The Mexicools stay in control over their friend, Psicosis delivering several hard rights before hitting a snap suplex. This doesnt get the winning fall either, but Psicosis tries for another suplex, only for Evans to counter and collapse on top of him,
falling from his vertical position into a crossbody
1 2 NO! Both men are sprawled from that move, with Evans having to crawl over the body of Psicosis to reach for his corner YES! The hot tag is made to Ki, who immediately
cartwheels across the ring into a high kick to the face of Super Crazy, knocking him off the apron
As he regains his footing, Psicosis ambushes him with a victory roll attempt, but Ki holds onto the corner, sending Psicosis back onto his head and sitting. Ki then rushes at him,
feints a shining wizard that turns into a reverse roundhouse kick to the skull
. Psicosis falls victim to the
Black Magic
, but Ki is looking for much higher ground. He looks to get to the top rope, but suddenly Evans shows back up, hurt, but wanting the tag in. The Warrior wants to finish it, but puts faith in his new friend, quickly tagging him and rushing towards the opposite ropes, keeping Crazy down with a
no-hand plancha
! Psicosis is still out cold as Evans ascends to the top rope now
Evans Descent
connects for the first time in AOW, as Evans covers 1 2 3 !!!
Winners: Low Jack
at (8:32)
As everyone begins recovering, Ki helps Crazy get to his feet and rolls into the ring with him, while Evans brings Psicosis in. The Mexicools, disappointed, arent looking too hot, but both of them shake hands with Ki and both handshake and hug Evans, showing their respect and friendship towards both men. Ki and Evans look at each other, with Kis intense face getting a small smile as the hurting, but still happy, look on Evans face becomes a full blown smile.
Joey Styles
What an explosive display of what could an expansion of the AOW tag team division, with team Low Jack once again getting the victory over The Mexicools! Wow, the AOW cruiserweights keep on impressing tonight with great high-flying action!
As great as that match was, and as fun as it was watchin it, all I hear are the ringin of the words Gregory Helms said earlier. Yeah, these guys are great an fun, an Low Jack or whatever might be gettin buddy-buddy, but not one ofem are better than Gregory Helms!
Joey Styles
Will you please stop? Gosh, youre so hung up on why Gregory Helms is the best cruiserweight in the world. Did it ever occur to you that the best cruiserweight is yknow the one holding the gold, like maybe the guy who won it last week, Bryan Danielson?
And did you not see Gregory Helms present overwhelming evidence that the referee should NOT have counted the three last week? That Bryan Danielson was ridin on the coattails of Helms? Youre biased as hell, you know that, Joey? Youre biased an a terrible journalist, a terrible commentator!
Joey Styles
Oh dear God
God is righ, Joey. You need to take notes from me. A Commentary God.
Joey Styles
Well if you werent too busy taking notes on yourself, John, you mightve been able to figure out who Chris Jerichos opponent is later tonight, hand-picked by Rob Van Dam! Thats on the other side of the break!
~Backstage now, where we see
AOW World Tag Team Champions, the Worlds Greatest Tag Team
with their gold watching a screen in the back at Low Jack just now exiting the ring, obviously having looked over what just transpired. Theyre approached by a very sneaky
Mike Mizanin
The Miz
So fellas, what do you think about who might be your new competition for those straps of gold you got there?
~Benjamin and Haas turn to answer the question, only for both of their eyes to lead across from them. When the camera shoots back, it is revealed that the people standing there are
Paul Burchill and Brent Albright
Yes, gents. What do you think about your new competition for those straps of gold ?
Shelton Benjamin
Yknow, we may be the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, but we respect our opponents and they respect us. And quite frankly, I havent seen either of you do anything remotely respectful since you got here. You cant show a little bit of honor?
Respect? Honor? In case you havent noticed, gents, but I and Brent here have done nothing but
our agreements to those who
us enough to pay us well.
Charlie Haas
I guess you guys respected Rey Mysterio too, huh? Maybe you respected CM Punk? Or better yet, Im sure you honored a veteran Lance Storm real well.
As I said those who respect us enough to pay us well. We are gentlemen first and savages second, boys. We dont do anything without getting something in return. And soon enough, that something will be those tag team titles. So hold onto your Boy Scout dreams there, mates. The Mercenaries me and Brent here were coming for you. And youd better respect that.
~Burchill and Albright are now veering very close to one anothers faces, with Miz squished between, his eyes darting nervously from one team to the other before The Mercenaries quickly exit the frame, leaving the WGTT to indeed seriously think about their new competition.
**Video Package**
Were brought to a scene with a ring filled with shadows
For as long as wrestling has been an art form, many men have tried to tame it and perfect it
The ring then reveals two figures, one of a polished powerhouse, the other, a small but technical wizard
And one place has produced more of these perfectionists than anywhere else
Flashes go by of Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Chris Benoit, and Bret Hart
This cold, unmerciful, yet as glorifying as it is unforgiving place can only be described as
The two shadowed figures perform what we know as the Hart Attack, before both lock on Sharpshooters
The Dungeon.
The shadows around the ring clear to reveal that they are indeed training in the legendary Hart Dungeon
The Dungeon has given birth to the final perfectionists the final executers of excellence her final sons
The two still shadowed figures get a rapid close up, faces still concealed in shadow
suddenly, the film cuts on the reel, revealing a white background for a moment before flashes go by of two men giving intense faces, roaring towards the camera, one a lean powerhouse, the other a slicked back blonde, before we hear a very young sounding, cocky voice
And for those of you who think a dungeon in Canada is the only place to go to be a perfectionist or an executor, look no further.
Another flash goes by of the larger man, nailing a gutwrench powerbomb, while the smaller blonde hits a leaping spike reverse STO
We are All-Americans, the very best wrestlers this great country has to offer.
Another flash of both men looking intense, this time beside each other but the white backdrop soon begins developing into an American flag, waving in the breeze. The cocky voice then names itself, while another, unfamiliar voice follows
Im Nick Nameth.
Another flash of Nameth nailing his spike reverse STO
And Im Jack Hagar.
Flash of the now named taller, leaner, but more powerful man go by of him nailing a German suplex, roaring at the camera following
I am The Natural.
I am intensity.
We are perfection.
Nameth nails a flawless German of his own
We are execution.
Both men hit Germans in unison, in the ring at the same time
And we were made the right way
A 360 shot of both men in the same frame, back to back
Upon our return to the Hammerstein, we again get a glimpse of
Torrie Wilson
, backstage, this time on her cell phone. Whoever shes calling doesnt appear to be answering
Torrie Wilson
Come on, Christian please pick up damnit!
~The normally angelic Wilson lets out an obscenity as obviously, Cage doesnt answer. Wilson throws her phone onto a table only to be greeted by, yet again,
Chris Jericho
. This time, however, Jericho is accompanied by his gargantuan friend,
Paul The Great Wright.
Chris Jericho
Not pickin up, is he Torrie?
~Torrie turns around, startled once by seeing someone, then jumps again when her eyes travel up to see Wright, who looms over Jerichos shoulder
Torrie Wilson
Um hi Jericho
Chris Jericho
Whyre you calling him, Torrie? Hes a big boy. He can take care of himself.
Torrie Wilson
Not right now he cant wait, why am I even talking to you? Its your fault hes like this in the first place.
Chris Jericho
: (
As much as I enjoy taking my share of credit I havent the slightest clue what youre talking about.
Torrie Wilson
You left him behind in the main event tag match two weeks ago. You were the first person hed trusted since hed been here. He had his doubts, but he wanted to believe you, Chris. You told him hed never be alone again. And what did you do? You left him behind like he was some nobody. And that destroyed him. Some worthy champion you are, you bastard.
~Wilson is on the verge of tears at this point, the last few lines delivered with a great deal of hurt emotion
Chris Jericho
No, no, no. The man you should be blaming is Rob Van Dam. Who do you think is the one who told Christian no one respects him? Who do you think is the one who told Christian no one wanted to listen to him? The one who told him he was alone? Because that sure wasnt me.
Torrie Wilson
Why are you here, Chris?
~Torrie seemingly ignores Jerichos last statement, crossing her arms in tension
Chris Jericho
Because you need my help. And I need yours. But above all, Christian needs all the help he can get.
~Jericho could be playing Wilson here but shes taking the bait
Chris Jericho
Youre in good relations with that controversial General Manager of ours, arent you? See, Im not in so well with him. But right now, you want Christian Cage back in this locker room. So I propose a bit of back scratching here, Ms. Wilson. You persuade old man Foley to get RVD off my back and Ill find Cage and bring him back myself. Just for you.
~Wilson, still choking back tears a bit, still cross armed, seems to be easing up and thinking about it
Torrie Wilson
For Christian.
Chris Jericho
Right, right, for Christian. Absolutely.
Torrie Wilson
fine. Ill do what I can. As long as you keep up your end.
Chris Jericho
Good girl.
Jericho motions towards Wright to follow him, as the big man leaves the room, leaving Torrie to ponder to herself if shes just made a deal with the devil. The screen soon fades to reveal The Miz with a microphone yet again, but this time hes with AOWs first ever Dynasty Champion, Muhammad Hassan.
The Miz
Yknow, Im gettin pretty sick and tired of doing Torries interviews for her, but Im The Miz, and Im a trooper. And right now, Im in the presence of great riches. Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, your AOW Dynasty Champion, Muhammad Hassan!
~Crowd delivers a great deal of heat to the inherent fortune champion, gold in hand
Evening, Miz.
The Miz
So Hassan, you executed an outstanding, incredible, absolute genius strategy that accumulated in you becoming the first man to hold that title. What can you tell us about your brilliant strategy?
~And much like earlier tonight, before the interviewee can answer, someone else interrupts them. This time, its none other than
CM Punk
. But before Punk can answer, the trooper stops him
The Miz
Alright, no! Okay? Ive already had a very respectable interview interrupted today, and now I have a guest who deserves to speak, I will not have you interrupting him or me AGAIN! You will WAIT until Im DONE PUNK.
~Miz gets in the face of a very no-nonsense looking CM Punk here before
Punk pushes him out of his face
, out of camera view. The crowd gets a laugh, and Punk starts getting chants. Punk gets into the face of Hassan
CM Punk
Congratulations, Hassan. You really did put together one hellova plan to get that title. It was a great deal better than mine, I guess, so kudos on that, fine sir.
~Punk, exaggerating and feigning happiness on each word, extends his hand to Hassan
Im glad you see it my way, Punk.
~Hassan, completely ignoring Punks obvious sarcasm, extends his hand to meet Punks, who immediately darts his hand back and goes from exaggeratingly happy to vocally aggressive
CM Punk
No, see I dont see things your way because I dont do things your way. You wanna sit here and have your hired guns do all your work for you, picking apart a guy while you watched from your mansions, then jump on him. See, in my necko th woods, we look a man in the eye, face to face, then we kick his ass and win some gold.
~This seems to shut up Hassan and draws a great reaction from the Hammerstein
CM Punk
But no you wanna sit here, disgrace this young, budding company with what is essentially paid bullying. And on top of that, guys like that joker kissin your ass when youve done nothing? That doesnt really sit too well with me.
I couldnt care less if it sits well with you, Punk. Ive got the gold, Ive got the money, and you youve got nothin, Punk. You can sit here, angry as can be, jealous out of your skin, but the fact of the matter is it will do absolutely nothing because you have nothing.
~Crowd ooohs at that, with Punk taking that in for a second, but Hassan continues.
See, Punk Im a businessman. And I dont like anyone getting in my business. But thats exactly where you are right now. And you keep getting in my business. I suggest you get out of my business before my business forces you out.
~This threat doesnt seem to faze Punk
CM Punk
Yknow, all thatd bother me, but I havent had anything for most of my life, hell, all of my life. I had to scratch and claw from that nothing to make my way into this business, to right here, in this professional wrestling company. The first thing I ever said in AOW was that I am a professional wrestler here to wrestle. And to see you sit here with all your money, not having to work for everything I have to work for, while trying to bully and buy your way through a damn respectful company? I will get in your face, I will get in your business, but most importantly, I will take that title from you. The right way.
~Punk stares intensely at Hassan, and Hassan right back, neither man giving an inch before we fade
~Back at ringside
hits as soon as we arrive back at ringside, with
Chris Jericho
making his way towards the ring with a nasty scowl on his face and heat thrown at him from every direction. Paul Wright is also followed by a great deal of heat, as both men who vowed to take the title and go make their way to the ring. Jericho looks not so much caring who his opponent is, as much as the fact that hes competing when he thought he didnt have to.
Joey Styles
Coming up on the other side of the break, Chris Jericho, our Worthy Champion, will go one-on-one with an opponent of #1 Contender Rob Van Dams choosing! Wholl it be? Does it matter? Just have someone shut Jericho up!
Upon our return, we notice, and Styles tells us, that Jericho hasnt moved from the spot he was standing in when we went to break, center ring. Hes been getting heckled all throughout the break, not batting an eye towards anyone. Jerichos waiting, nose in the air, when suddenly
Dont call it a comeback!
hits the airwaves, as the crowd gives a wild pop for
, the musical segway to the arrival of
Samoa Joe
. Joe is just as intense as he was last night, although a small smirk can be seen as now, he gets a shot at the AOW world champion, a match he very much deserves after his absolute war last week, the evidence written in the taped knee underneath his knee pad. The look on Jerichos face is not a happy one, as he now has to go toe-to-toe with the only other man whos undefeated thus far in AOW.
Samoa Joe
AOW Champion Chris Jericho w/Paul The Great Wright
The bell rings, but the match doesnt really begin off the bat, as when Joe charges at Jericho, the Worthy Man darts through the middle rope, using it as a shield to beg the referee to get Joe away from him. The official starts guiding Joe away, but after taking several steps back, he charges again, with Jericho going right back through the rope shield. The referee again is forced to back Joe away, with the crowd not liking any of this, but Joe not liking it even more. He takes one final charge towards Jericho, grabs his loose ankle, then pulls him away from the ropes, center ring, and attempts to lock in the
, but Jericho is quick to scurry away under the bottom rope to the outside, where Wright jumps in front of his boss as to protect him, face turned towards Joe in the ring.
Joe is merely looking at this somewhat annoyed, but Jerichos behind Wright, leaning on the announce table trying to recuperate. Joe doesnt waste much time, however, doing his theatrics and spinning in place before rebounding off the ropes behind him, hitting the
Elbow Suicida right into Wright who doesnt fall, but violently staggers back SANDWICHING JERICHO BETWEEN WRIGHT AND THE ANNOUNCE TABLE
. The crowd gives an awesome reaction to this, as Jericho gets crushed by his own beast. Jerichos reaction, however, is one of open eyed and open mouthed anguish, gripping his crushed spine. Wright is still standing, but hes staggering over to the announce table for both his own support and to aid Jericho. Joe takes the still recovering Jericho and
whips him violently into some steel ring steps, spine first
. Jerichos face again crunches in pain, as Joe stays relentless and virtually throws Jericho back into the ring.
Once back in, Jericho again tries to squirm away, only to get pulled back and snapmared by Joe. Joe then delivers a
stiff kick to the sitting Jerichos back, followed by another and another and another!
The crowd is loving this humiliation of Jericho at the moment, Joe almost making sure Jerichos back gets thrown out here. Joe rears back for one last kick but Jericho ducks his head, sending the kick over the top of Jericho until it turns into a
low roundhouse to Jerichos skull
. The seamless brawling skills of Joe come into play, as he covers Jericho for the first time 1 2 3-NO!! Humiliated or not, Jericho doesnt go so easily.
Joe drags Jericho to his feet, hitting him with a massive CHOP(Woooooo!) before trying to drag him to a corner. Jericho finally gets some offense in here, however, as he starts pounding on the midsection of Joe, getting himself some breathing room. Jericho delivers a hard kick to Joes tender knee, finally getting him that room. Jericho clubs Joe on the spine as he tries to recover, but as Jericho backs up and leaps,
looking for the Codebreaker
Joe catches him!! Joes caught Jerichos double knees, clutching them to his chest before turning around and forcing Jericho onto the top rope before fixing him up for the
Muscle Buster
NO!! Jericho fights Joe off, finally deflecting him with a boot to the face. With Jericho getting space again, he leaps from the top rope and
nails Joe in the face with the leaping reverse elbow!!!
Joe goes down hard, with Jericho now getting a cover 1 2 NO!!
Jericho wanted that to end this one badly, so badly, he just starts pounding on Joe with hard fists while on his knees, wailing and clubbing away. The obviously irate Jericho then attempts to keep his momentum going when he grabs both of Joes legs,
looking for the Walls
. Joe still has enough wits about him to fight off one of Jerichos grips, giving him his uninjured leg to stand on. Joe hops around for a second before hitting Jericho square in the jaw with an
. Jericho drops, glazed gazed and face first into the canvas, as Joe shoots the half and tries another pin 1 2 3 NO!!! Jericho stays worthy!
Joe is surprised at this, but stays on the relentless attack by forcing Jericho to his feet, only to whip him into the opposite ropes. On the rebound, Joe looks for the
Samoan Drop
that put Finlay through a table last week but Jericho hangs up on Joes shoulders and elbows his way off of them, staying behind Joe and nailing a
Russian leg sweep
! Another Jericho cover 1 2 NO! Jericho still cant end it, as he gets off of Joe and rebounds off the ropes, looking for a momentous kick to the gut it seems, but Joe quickly catches this leg and sends Jericho face first again turning it into an
. Jericho struggles to get out of this hold, but before he can do so, Joe quickly changes the hold to a
A hold Jerichos been in one too many times in his career is latched on again, but Jericho is able to crawl and clutch a rope, much to everyones chagrin. Joe, however, keeps his utter intensity and doesnt let Jericho escape, chopping the arm on the rope at the elbow and making it a
grounded chickenwing crossface!
The crowds pop is revitalized at this, but Jericho manages to hold on and not tap, eventually getting to his feet and trying to rip the crossface off his face. As soon as it looks like he does so, Joe lets go of the hold completely, only to clamp onto Jerichos head and force him back to the canvas, bodyscissors locked in
THE CLUTCH!!! The Clutch!!
Joes chained through four submission holds to get to his finishing blow! With the champ quickly fading, The Great lumbers into the fray, making it into the ring and forcing the referees attention away from the task at hand, ordering the giant to get out. Wright doesnt budge, but he doesnt have to as Jericho is biting the hand and forearm of Joe, causing him to release the hold, while Jericho then nails repeat blows to the weakened Joe knee to release the bodyscissors. As Jericho gets back to his feet he stalks Joe until he gets to his feet,
going again for the Codebreaker
, but as he rushes at Joe, the Machine quickly grapples the head again
and forces another Clutch!! Another Clutch!!
Wright is back on the floor at this point, but looks to intervene again, but Jericho is fading fast, when the crowd starts buzzing
Finlay!! Its Finlay!!
The Fighting Irishman, in plain sight of the referee, darts into the ring and
The ref immediately calls for the bell!
Winner via DQ: Samoa Joe
at (9:56)
The ref calling for the bell doesnt stop Finlays assault, as the club to the knee was only the beginning. As Joe sits up to tend to the damage, Finlay lets loose with
This potentially puts Joes lights out for the first time in AOW, as Jericho looks on in satisfied surprise, the crowd throwing a great deal of heat. Finlay then looks at the downed and out Joe, surveying the damage done before doing more,
Joe comes to life again, only to now grip his shoulder in pain.
Joey Styles
What the hell is wrong with Finlay?
There aint a damn thing wrong with Finlay, Joey! This is what you do when you love tfight and someone like Joe beats you down you beatim down in return!
Joey Styles
It looks like Finlay still is licking his wounds from last weeks brutal war with Samoa Joe last week, but now hes made sure Joe will be the one doing the would licking, yet oh-so-coincidentally saving Chris Jericho in the process.
Oh please, Joey. Finlay did this fer Finlay, but hes now shown Chris Jericho that hes worthy too! An think about this, Joey, because Im sure you havent at all, but this pretty much spoils RVDs plans this week of tryin' to one-upping Chris Jericho.
Joey Styles:
Wait, wait, wait whats this?
Finlay is still looking to put the hurt on Joe, raising the staff again, but before he can do anything,
hits, only for
to come shooing from behind the curtain and sliding in the ring to a huge pop, beginning a brawl with Finlay. Chris Jericho, still in the ring, rolls out to the outside, where Wright meets him and they begin treking back up the ramp. Van Dam starts pulling away before nailing Finlay with a high kick to the jaw, sending him leaning on the ropes. As Van Dam looks behind him, Samoa Joe has gotten to his feet, still in pain, but shows sheer intensity by rushing at Finlay and
Cactus clotheslining him over the rope
, tumbling with Finlay to the floor. Joe lands on his knee, but it collapses on him due to its damage. The final image of this Oblivion is that of RVD looking from the ring all the way up the ramp to Jericho, whos clutching his title and with his giant, both champion and contender knowing that one step ahead might not be enough this time.

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in Houston.
Partly sunny, with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
Houston will continue to see what passes for very pleasant weather in June this week as ample moisture and clouds combine to limit high temperatures to about 90 degrees and keep a good chance of rain in the forecast.
A measurement of this moisture is precipitable water, that is how many inches of "water" are there in a column of atmosphere from sea level to space. For today the value is about 2 inches (see the red box with an X in it below), which is 125 percent of normal and a good indication that atmosphere is ripe for rain.
Although there's the possibility of some rain today, it still looks like the best chances will come on Wednesday and Thursday, when about one-half to 1 inch of rain could fall across most of the region, with isolated areas seeing an additional 2 to 4 inches.
Monday's high temperature was only 88 degrees, and the possibility of rain should keep highs this week confined to 90 degrees or less. I'll take that any day in late June.
The Atlantic tropics are quiet.
Rain and just ninety,
For late June can you ask for
better? I think not.
On this date in 1959, Hurricane Debra made landfall as a Category 1 storm just east of Freeport. The storm maintained hurricane force winds 100 miles inland.

DETROIT, MI - The former owner of Detroit's abandoned Packard Plant, which was sold in a tax foreclosure auction by Wayne County last year, says the title to the 42-parcel property was not properly transferred, and is asking for money from the new owner to resolve the issue, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Dominic Cristini also claims the county improperly foreclosed on the 3.5-million-square-foot site, and says he and others could still claim ownership over many of the 42 parcels.
Fernando Palazuelo, a Peru-based developer and the site's new owner following the county's auction, told the Free Press that Cristini is blackmailing him, and said Cristini asked him for $3.5 million in a February meeting. But Palazuelo's attorney also told the Free Press that the developer may pay a "smaller amount" to avoid a lawsuit.
The county told the Free Press it followed proper procedure in the foreclosure and sale of the 42-parcel package.
Palazuelo was the third-place bidder for the Packard Plant in the Wayne County tax foreclosure auction in October. He wound up paying just $405,000 for the property, which would cost millions of dollars just to clean up, let alone develop. Palazuelo has said he envisions a mixed-use site there, with a portion of the property being used for auto suppliers. The sprawling site has been in disrepair for decades.
Palazuelo told the Free Press his redevelopment plans are on hold until the issue with Cristini is resolved.

State police investigating purse theft
State police are looking for a person who stole a woman's purse from the Walmart store in Summit Township on Sunday afternoon.
Police said the theft happened shortly before 1 p.m., when an unknown person grabbed an Erie woman's purse from her grocery cart inside Walmart, 1825 Downs Drive, and fled. The suspect was a passenger in an early 2000s dark blue Ford Escape, police said.
