Gunslinger presents Ring of Victory!

[Gunslinger]

Claudio always does well for me so he'll probably beat Hero. Rude's got a tough way to go the next few defenses. There are unresolved issues with Jim Londos, the Danielson rematch, and the situation with Curt Hennig.

Allow me to pull back the curtain a bit here. Originally, Don Leo Jonathan was supposed to get the spot Rick Rude has now. Unfortunately, DLJ fizzled against Adam Pearce and I had to scrap some plans. All in all, I think Rick Rude was the right choice to push in the main event.

episode 103:
The Heartbreak Express vs. The Backseat Boys:
The Backseat Boys dominated the Heartbreak Express. Kashmere scored the win after a brutal Cradle Breaker on Sean to open the show.

J.D. Michaels vs. Bryan Danielson:
Danielson was fuming after last week's loss to Rick Rude and took it out on Michaels. Danielson nearly suplexed Michaels out of his books and almost knocked him unconscious with brutal MMA strikes. Michaels recovered and Danielson wore him down with the Triangle Choke, the chicken wing, and the Cattle Mutilation before getting the win with the Triangle Choke.

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero;
Castagonli mauled his former partner, knocking him sensless and scoring the win with two brutal Ricola Bombs. Castagnoli has earned a shot at the Ring of Victory Grand Championship.

Curt Hennig got on the mic and called out Rick Rude. Rude entered the ring and Hennig acknowledged their friendship and past as LWF Tag Team champions but said the Rick Rude he knew wouldn't need Johnny Fairplay to beat his opponents. Hennig challenged Rude to an RoV Grand Championship match next week so they could find out which of them was the better wrestler, once and for all. Rude reluctantly accepted the challenge.

Al Snow vs. Ultramantis Black (with Crossbones):
Snow dominated Black early on, scoring near falls with two spinebusters. Crossbones proved to be the difference maker. He saved Black and distracted Al Snow, enabling Ultramantis to his the Praying Mantis Bomb for the win.

Jim Londos vs. Ted DiBiase:
DiBiase controlled the opening minutes of the match but Londos was not to be denied. He made a comeback and wore down DiBiase with three Boston Crabs before getting the win via the Airplane Spin. After the match, Londos put on DiBiase's Loaded Glove and plastered DiBiase with it as he turned around, knocking him cold.

Jimmy Jacobs & Brodie Lee vs. The Young Bucks - Ring of Victory Tag Team title match:
The Young Bucks double teamed Lee early on, even hitting their finisher. Lee bounced back and nearly took Nick's head off with three Big Boots. Jacobs and Lee continued their assault until Nick made the hot tag. It looked as if the Young Bucks had the match in the bag until Jimmy Jacobs recovered and hit Matt with the railroad spike. The bloody Matt tapped out to The End Time seconds later.

next week:

• Al Snow vs. Ultramantis Black - Falls count anywhere
  
• Brodie Lee & Jimmy Jacobs defend the tag belts against Steve Corino & Adam Pearce
  
• Rick Rude defends the Ring of Victory Grand Championship against Curt Hennig!

Rude is always the right choice to put in the top spot.

Nice show.

Rude sucker punched Hennig after offering to shake his hand and took control. Rude piledrove Hennig for a near fall, then worked his neck with three swinging neckbreakers. Rude hit the Rude Awakening for the three count and the crowd showered the ring with trash.

After the match, Hennig got to his feet and Rude offered his hand. Hennig smirked and shook Rude's hand, only to pull him close and kick him in the groin. Hennig spat on Rude and left the ring.

As Johnny Fairplay helped Rude to his feet, Jim Londos walked down from the back and challenged Rude, saying he was tired of Rude ducking him and next week, they'd settle things.

The show went off the air with Rude holding the Ring of Victory Grand Championship over his head, his tenth successful defense.

Kingston's one 3 move on L2 Offense makes me really reluctant to use him but he does okay. Too bad Rude and Hennig's first match was kind of a dud.

one things for certain...Rude is a fighting champion. Good stuff as usual Gunslinger

Rude has definitely grown into his role as champion. I wasn't that impressed in his first few defenses but he's won me over.
