Spoiler alert: Blogging WWE One Night Stand 2008 results

UPDATE: Looks like Randy Orton legitimately injured his le ft collarbone when he got tossed over the top rope when Triple H countered the RKO. As you'll remember if you saw the match, Orton looked like he was trying t o grab on to the rope but failed and landed hard on the floor. If you haven't w atched One Night Stand yet but don't mind having the results spoiled, check out the WWE news story -- the article also has a link to a vide o of Orton receiving medical assistance after the match. Some wrestling sites are reporting that the legitimate injury Orton sustain ed was the reason the match was supposedly cut short. WELL, here we are again with another World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-view event, One Night Stand, which I'm again watching on Jack TV. Stop reading now if you don't want the results spoiled for you. Just like the < a href="http://blogs.inquirer.net/couchpotatoes/2008/05/19/spoiler-alert-bloggi ng-wwe-judgment-day-results/" target="_blank">last time, I won't be giving a blow-by-blow account, but rather highlights and some thoughts on the matches and WWE Superstars. Keep refreshing this page to get the latest updates. As usual, Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler are doing the commentary for Raw and hyping up the matches. First up is a Falls Count Anywhere match between Jeff Hardy and the superheavyw eight Samoan Umaga. As I'm typing this, the high-flying Hardy just did a cross body from the top ag ainst Umaga, who was outside the ring, and covered him for a near-fall. Yup, as the name of the match says, it's Falls Count Anywhere -- you can pin your oppo nent anywhere. *** Spraying your opponent's face with a fire extinguisher backstage? Yup, that's O ne Night Stand: Extreme Rules for you, heh :) *** Poor ref, he has to follow these two wherever they go, and now they're under th e hot San Diego sun in the parking lot, banging each other against the side of trucks and anything metal they can find. *** Damn, Jeff Hardy just did a Swanton dive from the top of an 18-wheeler truck on a prone Umaga, then covered him for the win! Winner: Jeff Hardy * * * SmackDown commentators Mick Foley and Michael Cole hype the Stretcher Match bet ween The Animal, Batista, and The Heartbreak Kid. Shawn Michaels. *** ECW commentators Tazz and Mike Adamle talk about the Singapore Cane match (a st aple match in the old Extreme Championship Wrestling) involving The Big Show, C M Punk, John Morrison, Chavo_Guerrero and Tommy Dreamer. The winner will receive a shot at the ECW championship currently held by Kane a t Night of Champions. Tazz and Adamle keep talking about how the thought of The Big Show with a Singa pore cane should make everyone afraid. The participants are now being introduced. First up is CM Punk, followed by Cha vo Guerrero. Then it's Tommy Dreamer, who was part of the original ECW, has the most experience. Next is one-half of the SmackDown WWE tag team champions, Joh n Morrisson. And last but not least, of course, is the heavy (pun intended) fav orite, The Big Show. The action starts, and everyone tries to attack The Big Show, who manhandles th em. *** Ugh, close up of Big Show's cut over his left eye. *** A bloody Big Show choke slams Tommy Dreamer, hits him with the Singapore cane a nd pins him (well, OK, puts one foot on the chest of the unconscious Dreamer) f or the win. It's going to be The Big Show vs Kane, who is shown backstage smiling as he wat ches the results on TV. Winner: The Big Show *** Todd Grisham is interviewing WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who had announced on l ast week's Raw that he was giving away $1 million "McMahon's Million-Dollar Mania. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it," McMahon sa ys. Grisham asks him what people have to do to get the million dollars, and McMahon says he'll announce the details on Raw. He also says he knows what Grisham is thinking, but sorry, WWE employees are disqualified from the million-dollar giv eaway. *** Now it's one of my least-favorite wrestlers, JBL, who enters the ring for his F irst Blood match against John Cena, who I'm not too fond of either but who at l east can be exciting. Haha, one sign a fan is holding up says, "Just Bleed, Loser." Now Cena has entered the ring. Ho-hum, Cena vs JBL is getting boring. *** As the name tells you, the first wrestler who bleeds will lose the match. If I' m not mistaken, the first First Blood match was the one between Stone Cold Stev e Austin and Kane for the championship; at least, that was the first First Bloo d match I saw. You have to think that it's hard to script a First Blood match, 'coz what if a wrestler starts bleeding by accident before the scripted ending of the match, a nd the one who was supposed to win bleeds first? That's supposedly what happene d in the First Blood match between Austin and Kane. Austin wasn't supposed to l ose, but he bled legitimately. Which would explain why he immediately regained the title from Kane on the Raw episode that followed that pay-per-view. Oh yeah, and Cena and JBL are still trying to beat the crap out of each other i n this match. No cuts yet, heh :) *** Cena slams JBL face first on a steel chair lying on the ring. "No blood! No blood!" the ref yells after checking JBL. Damn. *** JBL brought the chain, but Cena was the one who used it on JBL. Blood pours out of the mouth of JBL. JBL bleeds! Cena wins! Winner: John Cena *** Randy Orton is talking to Batista backstage. "Why the hostility?" Orton asks Ba tista, reminding him of their time as members of Evolution. Orton talks about the upcoming draft and how they could end up in the same bran d. He asks Batista to join up with him, saying they can be bigger than DX. Bati sta's not buying it. *** Hell, yeah, The Glamazon, Beth Phoenix, has made her entrance for her I Quit ma tch with Melina. It's the first ever I Quit Match involving the Divas, JR helpfully informs us. Now Melina is making her way to the ring. Still one of the most exciting Diva e ntrances, heh. Stop drooling, King :) *** Boy, The Glamazon is pretty strong, isn't she? *** "You've got to keep it clean now," the ref tells the Divas. Um, hello, ref? Extreme Rules? No DQ? I Quit match? *** Wow, Melina is trying to make Beth Phoenix tap out with an armbar submission. *** "How strong is Beth Phoenix?" Lawler asks. Well, she just broke the submission hold by lifting Melina and slamming her wit h a running power bomb! *** Yes, Melina finally quits! The Glamazon wins! But Melina sure has improved as a n in-ring wrestler. Props to her. But nobody messes with my fave The Glamazon h eh :) Winner: Beth Phoenix *** The Stretcher match between Batista and Shawn Michaels is up next. *** HBK Shawn Michaels makes his entrance. *** Michael Cole reminds viewers this feud started because Michaels' retired Batist a's mentor and idol Ric Flair at WrestleMania. Batista makes his entrance. The match starts. *** Mick Foley comments that one Sweet Chin Music from Michaels may not be enough t o put Batista in a stretcher. He says a second or third kick might be needed. *** Michael Cole says Batista's clothesline has "literally turned Michaels inside o ut." Um, it would be really horrific if that literally happened, Cole :) *** HBK tunes up the band for Sweet Chin Music, but instead runs into a Batista clo thesline. *** Batista is dazed by a superkick from Michaels and he falls into the stretcher, but HBK can't capitalize immediately. HBK stirs and is now trying to drag the s tretcher with Batista on it to the finish line. Batista is now off the stretcher. *** Batista hits the Spear, and now a Batista Bomb! *** Batista is now using one hand to drag Michaels to the stretcher. Chris Jericho has come out and is now willing Michaels on, trying to inspire hi m. *** Batista and Michaels are now back inside the ring. Maybe Batista wants to puni sh him some more. *** Batista echoes the words Michaels used when he said "I love you. I'm sorry" to Ric Flair in the waning moments of their WrestleMania match before HBK finished him off with a Superkick -- except Batista says "I don't love you. I'm not sor ry" and punishes HBK with a second Batista Bomb. *** Batista lifts Michaels and slams him against the steel steps. Then he places HB K in the stretcher and pushes it across the finish line. The Animal wins! Winner: Batista *** Oh yeah, I haven't seen this in a while -- Randy Orton vs Triple H for the WWE Championship. Damn, we've seen this several times in a row, along with the match that will co me after this, Edge vs The Undertaker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championshi p. Anyway, Orton makes his entrance for his Last Man Standing match against Triple H. That reminds me, I still like his old ring entrance music better. *** Triple H a.k.a. The Game a.k.a. The King of Kings a.k.a. The Cerebral Assassin a.k.a. Vince McMahon's son-in-law in real life heh :) makes his entrance. Triple H is a 12-time WWE champion. *** Is it hoping against hope to think Orton will win this Last Man Standing match? Triple H is doing a number on Orton's left shoulder. *** Triple H beats the ref's 10 count, after Orton drilled him with a DDT against t he announcer's table. *** Orton and Triple H are back inside the ring. Orton drives a knee right to the s ternum of Triple H. *** Orton is supposedly telling the ref he has a broken collarbone, according to La wler. Triple H hits him with a sledgehammer. "The Age of Orton is on life support," JR says. *** Orton can't beat the 10 count. The sledgehammer did it. Triple H wins. Again. Winner: Triple H *** I'm still rooting for Edge against The Undertaker, but again, I think it's hopi ng against hope. WWE has been more concerned for some time now with helping the veterans secure their legacies, rather than letting the young guns hold on to the championship. Of course, I'm biased heh :) If Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock actually re turned to the ring, I'd want them to be champs again. But with Austin's injurie s and The Rock's Hollywood career, that's unlikely. *** Yup, the last One Night Stand match is, in the words of SmackDown general manag er Vickie Guerrero, the most extreme championship match in history. It's a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the vacant World Heavyweight Champi onship. Edge, of course, is the TLC specialist, and The Deadman has never been in a TLC match. Yeah, like that matters. Because one of the stipulations in this TLC match is t hat The Undertaker will leave the WWE if he loses. Do you really see The Undertaker's career ending in a PPV like One Night Stand? One Night Stand isn't exactly WrestleMania or one of the bigger PPVs like Royal Rumble or Survivor Series. *** Edge makes his entrance. The Undertaker makes his entrance. Michael Cole reminds viewers that The Undert aker is the only champion in the history of WWE to be stripped of his champions hip. *** The match starts. Foley and Cole keep reminding the viewers that The Undertaker's career is on th e line. Foley says that, like the Stretcher match, you have to wear your oppone nt down and put him away before you try to climb the ladder. He added that another similarity is that, just as you can use the stretcher as a weapon, the ladder comes in pretty handy for beating up your opponent :) *** We've seen the chairs. We've seen the ladders. Now Edge is bringing out the tab les heh :) *** Holy... Edge just did a Frog Splash off the announcer's table onto The Undertak er, who was lying on a table, breaking the table in half! *** "How do you climb the ladder without a knee?" That's Cole's question as Edge pl aces The Undertaker's knee between a ladder and keeps hitting it with a steel c hair. *** The Undertaker just took two chair shots to the head. The Undertaker is motionl ess. Edge is about to hit him with a third, but The Undertaker hits him with a low blow. Edge lands outside the ring after hitting the ladder. The Undertaker is about t o climb the ladder in the middle of the ring, but Edgeheads/La Familia members Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder attack The Deadman. *** The Undertaker may have beaten up the Edgeheads, but the distraction may have b een enough as Edge hits the Spear. *** Edge is now climbing the ladder. The Undertaker limps inside the ring. *** Edge has his hands on the title. The Undertaker climbs and catches him. Then he does the Last Ride from the ladder, driving Edge through two tables stacked on top of the other! *** The Undertaker is about to grab the title, but La Familia members Chavo Guerrer o and Bam Neely attack him. He wipes the floor with them. The Undertaker, on one good leg, is climbing the ladder again. *** Edge pushes the ladder, and The Undertaker lands outside the ring, crashing thr ough four tables! *** The Undertaker is out. Edge is now climbing the ladder. *** I don't believe it! Edge grabs the title. Edge wins! He's the World Heavyweight Champion again! Winner: Edge *** I still can't believe it. Foley and Cole talk about the end of The Undertaker's career. *** La Familia -- Edge, Vicki Guerrero, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely -- celebrates and goes backstage. The Undertaker is getting up from the floor. The fans are cheering him. *** The arena goes dark as The Undertaker limps his way up the ramp with the fans c heering him. "The career of The Undertaker is dead, but his legacy will live forever," Micha el Cole says.
