News and Notes November 22nd 2011 After Survivor Series
thanks to the wrestling online network
CM PUNK REGAINS GOLD, THE ROCK SHAKES THE GARDEN
- Here are the results from yesterday's 25th annual Survivor Series which
took place at Madison Square Garden on pay-per-view: Dolph Ziggler defeated
John Morrison to retain the U.S. title; Beth Phoenix defeated Eve to retain
the Divas title in a lumberjack match; Team Barrett with Wade Barrett, Cody
Rhodes, Hunico, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger defeated Team Orton with
Randy Orton, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Sin Cara and Mason Ryan in a
traditional five on five elimination match. Barrett and Rhodes were the two
surviving members of the winning team; Big Show defeated Mark Henry via
disqualification in the World Heavyweight title match thus title doesn't
change hands; CM Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio to become the new WWE
champion; and John Cena and The Rock defeated The Miz and R-Truth in the
main event.
SIN CARA OUT FOR SIX TO NINE MONTHS
- Sin Cara will be out for the majority of the next year after suffering a
ruptured patella tendon during the traditional five on five Survivor Series
elimination match yesterday. WWE.COM listed six to nine months on the shelf
for the Mexican luchador who had the worse of starts for his WWE career.
After much hype for his signing from CMLL, Sin Cara was suspended for thirty
days after failing the Wellness Program test just two months after making
his WWE debut. His rocky performances continued with a lot of botched spots
and re-takes on Smackdown and yesterday was no different as Sin Cara tried
to leap over the top rope but didn't have enough height, got tangled in the
ropes and crashed down hard.
THE ROCK THANKS FANS AFTER THE SURVIVOR SERIES
- After Survivor Series went off the air, The Rock spent a few more minutes
in the ring and cut a short promo for the New York crowd. Fans chanted "you
still got it," "welcome back," and "thank you Rock" before turning to a "we
want Ryder" chant, with Rocky acknowledging the Ryder chant saying he's a
fan too. One fan yelled at The Rock "don't cry" which resulted in a lot of
laughter from fans and The Rock himself who assured the guy that he wasn't
going to cry. The Rock thanked the fans and said he's back to entertain the
people. He called November 20, 2011 as the greatest moment in the history of
his WWE career. The Rock then shook hands with fans and WWE employees at
ringside before heading to the back.
MICK FOLEY ON NBC's "30 ROCK"
- Mick Foley will be appearing on an upcoming episode of NBC's "30 Rock" TV
show after he revealed that he filmed scenes for it last week in New York.
Foley will be reprising his old WWE gimmick of Mankind for the episode which
also involves his first ever kissing scene! The hardcore legend is the first
wrestling start to appear on the popular NBC show starring Alec Baldwin,
Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan. Judah Friedlander, another cast member from the
show, was at the Survivor Series yesterday. Foley was also present but never
appeared on camera.

Survivor Series 2011
This Sunday November 20th 2011 the WWE will hold its annual Survivor Series PPV. This year it will be at the world famous Madison Square Garden in New York City.The main event will feature the return of the Rock to WWE in ring action as he teams with John Cena. They will face the team of The Miz and R Truth. I am sure there will be major issues between Cena and The Rock as they begin the major buildup to Wrestlemania 28 in Miami Florida.

Updates
Survivor Series 2011 will now feature The Rock and John Cena together in a 5 on 5 classic survivor series match. I am sure this will not end good and set up the WM match that is already scheduled.
Thanks to Colin Vassallo for this:
The upcoming Steve Austin DVD has got itself a new artwork selected by the WWE Hall of Famer himself.
Titled "Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All Time," this four disc - yes, four disc - DVD set will be the last ever Austin WWE DVD produced and will be released nationwide on November 29.
Austin selected all the matches and content for this set and served as a producer as well. The disc will also be available in Blu-Ray format as well.
You can see the artwork below.
FLAIR TO UNDERGO SURGERY NEXT WEEK
- Ric Flair will be undergoing surgery next week according to the Charleston
Post Courier to repair a torn triceps from the aftermath of his original
injury of a broken bursa sack in his elbow. The injury occurred when he took
a superplex from Sting during the IMPACT Wrestling tapings. "I thought it
was getting better but the swelling just wouldn't go away," Flair told Mike
Mooneyham at the Post Courier. Flair said he never tore anything except the
rotator cuff during his long and storied career. He blames the injury on not
working enough and said it's "no big deal" as it could have been much more
worse.

News and Notes

CHRISTIAN, CENA NEW CHAMPIONS AT EXTREME RULES
- Here are the results from yesterday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view which
took place at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida: Randy Orton
defeated CM Punk in a last man standing match; Kofi Kingston defeated
Sheamus in a tables match to become the new United States champion; Michael
Cole and Jack Swagger defeated Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross in a tag team
country whipping match; Rey Mysterio defeated Cody Rhodes in a falls count
anywhere match; Layla defeated Michelle McCool in a loser leaves WWE no DQ
and no count-out match; Christian defeated Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match
to become the new World Heavyweight champion; Big Show and Kane defeated
Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson in a lumberjack match to retain the WWE tag
team titles; John Cena defeated The Miz and John Morrison in a steel cage
match to become the new WWE champion.
CENA ANNOUNCES DEATH OF BIN LADEN TO FANS AT EXTREME RULES
- Following his match against John Morrison and The Miz, John Cena went up
on the announce table and told the fans that Osama Bin Laden was killed.
"The President has just announced that we have caught and compromised to a
permanent end Osama Bin Laden," said Cena as fans in attendance erupted in a
massive pop. Chants of USA then filled up the St. Pete Times Forum as Cena
grabbed the WWE title and said, "This is something I feel damn proud to be
an American." Most fans in the arena had no clue about the news since they
were at the show.

THE ROCK'S BIRTHDAY PARTY LIVE TONIGHT ON RAW
- It is going to be a special Monday Night RAW tonight as the people's
champion, The Rock, will be on hand to celebrate his birthday and WWE has
promised that it will be the most raucous and entertaining birthday party
for the great one. The show will be held from Miami, Florida, The Rock's
hometown. The Divas have a special birthday present for him, a present that
according to a press release issued last week, he "will never forget." With
Cena now champion again and the two set to clash at WrestleMania next year
it is safe to say that Cena will have a present of his own for Rocky. "I got
him a special gift for tonight," wrote Cena on Twitter after congratulating
The Rock on a massive opening weekend for his movie Fast Five.
CHRISTIAN FINALLY WINS THE BIG ONE AFTER 9 YEARS, 2 STINTS
- It took him nine years and two different stints with the company, but
finally Jay Reso, the man wrestling fans know as just Christian, has finally
won the big one. At Extreme Rules yesterday, the former 9 time tag team
title holder defeated Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match to become the new
World Heavyweight champion, a title that was vacated by his best friend Edge
just two weeks ago following his retirement. Edge sort of interfered in the
match, coming out in a car and distracting the Royal Rumble winner, giving
enough time to Christian to recover and tip over the ladder - and Del Rio on
it. Christian then climbed the ladder himself to unhook the title. The two
friends then celebrated in the ring as fans showed their appreciation.
Christian won a total of sixteen titles during his WWE career up until
yesterday winning the ECW, Intercontinental, Tag Team, European, Hardcore
and Light Heavyweight titles. His seventeenth reign, which kicked off
yesterday, surely must be the most important one of his career so far.

Wrestlemania 27 Thoughts
Well as my friend Chad (an astute observer of wrestling) said "Lower your expectations and you wont be disappointed". Well he again was right and WM 27 wasn't a thrill ride but it wasn't a complete bust with HHH/Undertaker doing their part in a weird match to make it memorable. The addition of The Rock was ok but I dont think the ending was really that great as they left the WWE champion lying in the ring. Now can you imagine Hulk Hogan,HHH, Stone Cold, HBK or UT agreeing to that if they were WWE Champion at Wrestlemania? I dont think so but that shows you how little regard the McMahons have for the title and The Miz. Sadly on Monday night it was all about The Rock and John Cena and setting up really long range plans to meet at Wrestlemania 28 in Miami Florida. Now will Vince have the guts to let it play out or will he get scared and pull the trigger on the match for Summerslam just to get the buy rate up and make some extra cash?
On another note I have high hopes for Sin Cara after seeing him last night on RAW for just a brief run in against Sheamus.and landed a huge top rope jump to start what could be a really good feud (but then again it might last one match on RAW ). Too bad Brian Danielson has been lost in the shuffle and his lack of charisma has put him as the odd man out.
