Rene Dupree signs 5-year deal with WWE
Not long ago, a news report from around Rene's hometown in Canada announced, in a large article in their sports section, that he has been recovering from a hernia that has kept him out of the ring for 9 months. The article mentions that Rene reportedly has signed a 5-year contract with the WWE.
Edit- Rene is currently finishing up his wrestling rehabilitation in his dad's business. Rene is teaming with his brother and they face former WWE wrestler Chad Dick, and the Cuban Assassin.
Kurt Angle's ribs in bad shape
There are some reports stating the Kurt Angle has some torn rib cartilage and is being a bit bothered from the injury. As of now, there is no word on how long he will be out, or if he will be out. I would expect him to continue wrestling through his injury and the WWE Insider will inform you if any more news regarding his injury comes in.
Batista and Booker T fight: Details
Backstage somewhere, Booker T became upset because Batista was shaking hands with several Smackdown wrestlers but ignored Booker. Booker tried to get back at him by asking if he still believed the Smackdown crew was lazy (Batista stated this at an interview several months ago). Batista defended himself from Booker's comments. Booker tried to walk away but Batista took themselves into a separate room and started fighting. Batista was the man on the bottom, and other wrestlers came to break it up, but Batista urged them to let the fight go on. It did, and Batista ended up on his back again, and the fight was broken up for good. Sharmell stated that she thought Batista had cheap shot at Booker, and she started kicking him. There were reports that Batista tried some cheap shots at him, but didn't land any effectively. Afterwards, Batista stated that Booker T was responsible for lower card wrestlers being held down in the locker room. No one else agreed with him. Vince McMahon later pulled them aside and tried to have them settle their differences.
WWE RAW Results (6/19/06): The DX Reunion!
These results are written by and is copyrighted to Jeremy Swick of WWE Insider. Yeah, it's back.
Without any theme song or video, RAW opens up with Vince McMahon staring at the camera. Here's the transcript of how it opened up.
Vince: Good evening. Two weeks ago here on Raw Triple H was to have joined the Mr. McMahon kiss my ass club. I didn't get what I wanted on that night. As a result of that last week Triple H was to face all five members of the Spirit Squad in a handicap match. Triple H was to have been dismembered. But thanks to Shawn Michaels....that didn't happen either. So I didn't exactly get what I wanted either. But this week - oh yeah...this week I'm going to get exactly what I want. I've heard there was going to be some sort of DX reunion. There's not going to be any DX reunion. There's something going to be the destruction of Degeneration X. And you don't believe me? Actions speak louder than words.
Vince walks and runs into a man with a chicken.
Vince: It's a chicken!
Man with a chicken: It's a cock. Apparently you love cocks.
Vince: Why don't you tell your little chicken man that whoever put you up to this...I'm not in the mood.
Vince walks some more and runs into an alien. Vince stares it down and keeps on walking as the alien mimics his every move.
Some Chippendales walk up to him and say they are ready to blow his mind. They dance as Vince stands with his hands in his pockets pissed off. He keeps on walking.
Dusty Rhodes walks up and tells him to look at something. Vince says he's going to destroy DX tonight. Dusty pimps his DVD. Dusty goes to sell the DVD to the strippers so Vince keeps on walking. A UPS guy walks up and asks him to sign for something - his delivery. Vince asks what it is. It's his imported penis enlarger pump! Crowd is going wild! Vince is pissed and says he is going to destroy DX.
We are then brought to ringside where Jim Ross and the King talk about what happened and laugh it off. Then Vince McMahon's music hits the arena.
He gets on the mic and says that tonight will be a huge embarrassment for DX, and he has two words for DX...LIVING HELL. He points to his 12 size shoe, and says he'll plant it between HHH's butt cheeks, and the heel will knock Michaels' teeth out. The then begins to say he has a plan tonight for the destruction of DX, as a mischievous grin came about his face. Before he could begin, Shane McMahon comes down to the ramp and just starts shouting to his dad (with no microphone). All I could pick up was that he wanted Vince to leave with him, now. A minute later, we find out Stephanie is in labor. Shane and Vince are in front of a limo, and then Coach interrupts them. Vince tells Coach that he is in charge for tonight. Vince then says that Stephanie always had the worst timing, and now she's in labor! "THAT BITCH! Shane is in the limo and Vince unwillingly gets in.
My two cents: Wow, awesome segment! I just remembered that Triple H is the dad, and this should get RAW some intense ratings!! Hilarious ending to finish off the segment.
Bra and Panties tag-team match
Torrie Wilson and Maria vs Candice Michelle and Mickie James
Candice and Torrie start the match out. Candice gains the upper hand but Torrie counters with a sunset flip and pulls Candice's shirt off. Mickie attacks Torrie from behind and exposes her panties. Maria is tagged in and punches Mickie. Mickie hits a flapjack and exposes Maria's bra and panties very quickly. She then pulls Torrie's shirt off for the win.
Winners: Candice Michelle and Mickie James
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 5/10- It was very cute, but a bit too short, I absolutely loved last weeks balloon match thing!
And afterwards, Mickie attacks Candice and pulls off Candice's jean bottoms. She then mocks her Go Daddy dance and says "Get out of my ring". The gets out of the right, steals JR's cowboy hat and then pulls a shirt off of a fan in the crowd.
Now, we come back from the break to see Charlie Haas in the ring. Viscera then comes out and gives Charlie one last chance to give Lillian the proper apology. Charlie tells him that Lillian did accept his apology last week, and then they went to dinner. This puts a shocked face of Viscera. Charlie then says that afterward, they had some "pillow talk". Lillian then shouts "WHAT?!" from the timekeepers' table. Viscera then gives Haas a blow to the face and begins attacking him in the corner. The match is now underway.
He throws Charlie out of the ring. Ten seconds later, he throws him back in the ring but Haas pounds on him as Viscera comes back in. He comes off the ropes, but Viscera hits a Sidewalk Slam. Haas begins to get a little sliver of offense, and hits some rights in the corner. But Viscera does his trademark slam to the mat. Viscera chops him as he demands to know what Charlie did to Lillian. Viscera chokes Charlie. He whips him hard into the opposite corner. Viscera hits a charge in the corner and swivels his hips. Then the Spirit Squad comes out and attacks both men. Two on Haas, the other three on Big Vis. Haas and Viscera both try to fight back, but the numbers game caught on to them and couldn't overcome the odds. Johnny hits the spin kick to knock Haas from the ring and all five members throw Viscera in the air and back down again.
Winner: No Contest
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 5/10- Well, at least Haas tried to get some offense in.
Kenny is now on the mic and says the DX will not even make it to Vengeance. He calls out Triple H and Shawn Michaels, and they appear on the titantron. Shawn turns to Triple H and said he knew this would happen and said they are going to get murderized. Triple H says they are just cheerleaders. He announces they they will come down tonight, but on their own terms. Then, the world will witness the rebirth of the most powerful force in the universe, D-Generation X! Triple H says that they have two words for the Spirit Squad. The crowd says it for them, but Triple H says "No, we were thinking of two different words-- LOOK UP!" The Spirit Squad now get slimed! DX laughs it off and then spray "DX" on the camera.
Backstage:
The Spirit Squad are shown pissed off in the back complaining to the Coach. The Coach says that the plan is still on, and it will be executed tonight for DX. The Spirit Squad said if it doesn't they'll do it themselves. Coach then walks back to Vince McMahon's office, where Paul Heyman is on the couch. Coach urges Heyman to leave, but Heyman says that he will--if Coach wants the situation on RAW to go from bad to worse. He announces that in the back of the arena, a bus-full of ECW wrestlers were waiting and ready to invade RAW on command. Coach then asks what Paul wants. Heyman wants an inter-promotional tag match on ECW of Edge and Orton from RAW versus Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam on ECW tomorrow night (which is tonight, guys!), to which Coach agrees to. Paul then asks for one more match: Balls Mahoney vs John Cena on RAW later tonight. Coach agreed and Heyman thanked him and walked away.
We come back, as Umaga is coming down to the ring, while a local boy is preparing to get squashed. The bell rings and Umaga thrust kicks his opponent and soon enough, he is in the tree of woe and gets a running headbutt, followed by the Whipsplash. Samoan Spike and this one is over.
Winner: Umaga
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 4/10- Okay, I'm getting a bit tired of him getting to squash everybody. How about WWE makes a huge freaking match for him...like an interpromotional match at the next 'Saturday Night's Main Event' (which is in less than a month): Umaga vs The Great Khali.
Umaga throws the kid out of the ring and the crowd now listens to Armando Alejandro Estraddddaaaa. The crowd says it along with him, he lets the crowd finish. He gets upset and leaves the ring. And now backstage, we see Cena getting ready to come to the ring.
John Cena vs Balls Mahoney
Cena comes down to a decent pop, and then Balls Mahoney comes down to the ECW theme, accomponied by Paul Heyman. On the chair Balls came to the ring with, it said "Cena must pay". The match begins with some of the crowd chanting "ECW", and the two start exchanging punches. Cena gets a two count on Balls. Balls comes back with a thumb to the eye and throws Cena into the turnbuckle. Headbutt by Balls and some punches. Balls hits a kick to the head for two. Cena punches back to boos and hits shoulderblocks and a Blue Thunder Driver. Cena goes for the five knuckle shuffle as Heyman hands Balls the chair. Cena counters with the slowest drop toe hold you will ever see and the STFU. Balls taps.
Winner: John Cena
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 5.75/10- One of the worst matches I've seen John Cena in in awhile. This just wasn't very exciting.
John Cena turns around, and Sabu throws a steel chair right at his face! Cena rolls outside the ring, and Sabu nails him with the television monitors. He sets Cena on the announce booth and goes into the ring, he runs and leaps off the chair, landing on the rope (amazing balance by him), and then jumps on top of Cena, breaking the table. Cena's eye is busted open, and about 3 minutes later after some help from the refs, Cena struggles to get up, revealing his eye which is bleeding, and he has a sickly stare in his eyes.
Randy Orton vs Snitsky
Now, Randy Orton comes to the ring, as Snitsky is already in the ring. He pokes Snitsky in the eye, and quickly hit a backbreaker. He hits a kneedrop and covers Snitsky for a two count. Snitsky then is put into a headlock and then battles out of hit and hits Orton with a clothesline, followed by a pump handle slam. He tackles Orton from a 4 point stance, and then Orton blocks a charge. Orton then counters another move, and goes for the RKO but Snitsky pushed him off, and went for a big boot to Orton, which he dodged, and then Randy hit him with the RKO, and gets the three count.
Winner: Randy Orton
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 6.25/10- Not too bad...not too great.
After the match, Jerry Lawler meets Orton outside the ring and asks him going to an ECW ring. Randy said that Kurt Angle will find out that Vengeance is Orton's.
Back from the break, Carlito is out in the ring and says he was minding his own business (like he always does), laughing about what DX did when Coach overheard and decided to book Carlito in a handicapped match. Not cool. Carlito becoming IC champ again? That's cool. His first opponent is Johnny Nitro, accompanied by Melina. Next is Shelton Benjamin.
Handicapped Match
Carlito vs Nitro and Shelton Benjamin
Nitro and Carlito start things off. Nitro gets a collar and elbow, and hits a shoulderblock on Carlito. After a series of dodges and reversals, Carlito monkey flips Nitro, who lands on his feet. Carlito hits a backflip off the second rope and knocks down Nitro with a clothesline. Benjamin tells Nitro he sucks and tags in. Carlito hits Benjamin with a back suplex. The two then start trading punches and then Carlito hits a running knee and a clothesline for a two count. Shelton throws Carlito in the air and Nitro hits a blind tag. They argue and then fight each other. Benjamin is clotheslined out by Nitro. Carlito rolls Nitro up from behind, but Nitro reverses in and pins him while holding his tights.
Winners: Johnny Nitro and Shelton Benjamin
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 6.75/10- Sadly the best match of the night so far. I'm rooting for Carlito this Sunday...
After the match, Carlito and Shelton stare at Nitro from the ring, while he is headed to the back. Then the two take a glance at each other, and Benjamin goes for a cheap shot, but Carlito hits a backcracker.
Back from the break, we're in Mr. McMahon's office, which has been graffiti'd by DX! Shawn and Triple H walk in and wonder who did it. They're taunting Coach, who is in there as well, and sit down with him to watch RAW.
Now Maria is backstage interviewing Eugene. Eugene says that Hacksaw Jim Duggan is at home recovering from his match with Umaga last week. He said that Sunday at Vengeance, he'll get back at Umaga for Hacksaw. Rob Conway then interrupts, and starts to make fun of Eugene and then Eugene snaps and attacks him. Eugene gets up and roars like Umaga. Weird.
And now, we go back into McMahon's office, where DX continues to have fun with Coach. Coach warns them to rethink their plans for later on, because he is just as strict as McMahon. Triple H and Shawn Michaels look a bit ashamed, and "agree". They then throw him through the wall, and rip off his pants, revealing his, ughh...thong. Michaels wonders what kind of a man wears a thong. The two then spray paint his ass, and walk off.
Back from the break, Mick Foley has joined the King and J.R for commentary of the following match.
Edge vs Ric Flair
To start the match, Edge throws Flair into the corner and starting throwing right hands to him. He then sends him to the opposite corner and hits a back body drop. Edge then goes onto the turnbuckle, where Flair meets him with a chop. He starts chopping him more in the corner, and then Foley distracts Flair. Edge goes to the outside, and comes back into the ring with a chair. The referee takes it away, and while his back is turned, Ric delivers with a low blow to Edge. Two count. Flair pulls Lita into the ring, and then Foley is up on the apron with Mr. Socko, and has the mandible claw on Flair. Flair turns around and immediately gets a spear from Edge for the three count.
Winner: Edge
WWE Insider's Match Rating: 7/10- I was extremely upset and did not want to see this match tonight. It was a little better than I expected, but I don't want to see Flair wrestle again. This is absolutely pointless.
Afterwards, RVD comes out and attacks Edge. He brings him back inside the ring and hits the 5-Star Frog Splash.
Backstage:
The Spirit Squad are with about 7 or 8 other wrestlers pumping them up for the assault of DX.
We come back from the break, and the theme of DX hits! Are you ready? Triple H and Shawn Michaels come out to a huge pop, and once in the ring, Triple H gets on the mic to the crowd. "Are you ready??" "For the thousands in attendance and millions watching at home, and just because they are back, Llllllllllllllllllllet's get ready to suck it!!!!" If you're not down with that...Triple H says the originals are back, badder than ever. Michaels asks the lord for forgiveness since Vince and Shane are worried sick about Stephanie's labor pains. Triple H calls him a liar and says Stephanie is fine. Michaels wonders who got Stephanie pregnant. Triple H said whoever it is, he must be a stud and well hung. Shawn knows what the Squad is thinking. They have the odds in their favor. But they are not just facing two superstars, they are facing DX. The Spirit Squad interrupts. It's the Midget Squad on their way to the ring! Is this what became of Smackdown's Juniors Division? Triple H and Shawn Michaels lay them out. Triple H hits Sweet Chin Music on the shortest one. Shawn puts a blindfold on as Triple H brings out his version of cheerleaders, fresh from the local gentleman's establishment. They have a cheer. They take off their shirts. Triple H calls them the "breast" cheerleaders ever. Before they can take their bras off, the real Spirit Squad interrupts and come out with the heels. Johnny and Nicky head to the ring, and then everyone else not in the Spirit Squad head to the back. Johnny and Nicky looks sick, and slowly turn around. One getting some sweet chin music, the other getting a pedigree. DX has two words for the Spirit Squad, and the midgets moon the Squad to reveal "Suck It!" written on their cheeks. The fat guys were freaking amazing!
Biggest Pops:
1. DX (Triple H & Shawn Michaels)
2. John Cena
3. Randy Orton
Biggest Heat:
1. Vince McMahon
2. Edge
3. Spirit Squad
Another Randy Orton-Triple H Feud?
Randy Orton was moved to RAW after his injury because he is likely to start a feud with Triple H after the DX angle is done. They will feud when Shawn Michaels will go into surgery due to a troubled knee.
A brief update on Rene Dupree: Sighted
A fan was at a wrestling show where he saw Rene's match (above, at beginning of post). He said Rene was "the good guy" (face), and he has lost some weight from the surgery and has longer hair. Rene deserves a lot in the WWE.
Leave some comments, on the first big update of the summer! |
