Laying down the Lawler
By Greg Adkins
November 12, 2007
TOPEKA, Kan. – After getting
moistened to the marrow with beer last Monday night at the hands of “Stone Cold”
Steve Austin, Santino Marella appeared thirsty for revenge this week during the
Survivor Series kickoff. After coming to the aid of his “girlfriend” Maria, who
was pummeled by the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix, the hot-blooded grappler called
Austin out onto the mat, perhaps knowing the Texas Rattlesnake was nowhere near
the Kansas Expo Arena. When Austin didn’t show, Marella channeled his venom at
Raw announcer and Stone Cold friend Jim Ross. But Good Ol’ J.R.’s announcing
partner, Jerry “The King” Lawler, intervened in an attempt to tame the Italian
Stallion.
Six Pack
In a preview of next Sunday’s Traditional Survivor Series’ Elimination Match, a
pride of WWE Superstars put the ring ropes to the test in a Six-Man Tag Team
Match. Jeff & Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio tackled the onslaught of Mr. Kennedy &
MVP & Finlay. Rising above their competition, The Hardys & Mysterio came out
victorious.
Women on the Verge
In a tribute to beauty and brawn, GM Regal arranged for six Divas from all three
WWE brands to clash Monday night in a Six Divas Tag Team Match. Mickie James,
Michelle McCool & Kelly Kelly battled Melina, Jillian Hall & Layla. With an eye
toward the 10-Diva Tag Team Match at Survivor Series, Mickie James pinned Layla
for the three-count.
Training Day
With direct orders from Mr. McMahon himself, William Regal and Executive
Assistant Jonathan Coachman helped train Hornswoggle for his Survivor Series
match against The Great Khali. Coachman even went so far as to impersonate Khali
himself.
Match Made in Hell
At the invitation of General Manager William Regal, Batista & Undertaker matched
up on Raw to tackle World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. The
two men, determined to destroy one another at Survivor Series this Sunday during
their Hell in a Cell Match, warily choked down their hatred and joined forces.
Punt Attempt
A river of hostility continues to flow between Shawn Michaels and WWE Champion
Randy Orton. During a heated exchange between the two during a face-off
moderated by Mr. McMahon, Orton attacked HBK and prepared to punt his nemesis in
the head. But Mr. McMahon stopped him, telling the Legend Killer to save the
debilitating shot for their impending battle.
Timmm-bbberrr!
Triple H and Umaga knocked into each other like a towering pair of redwoods in a
tornado. With the ring surrounded by their respective teammates for the
tri-branded Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, the two titans faced
off in a Lumberjack Match. After suffering several cheap shots from the Samoan
Bulldozer’s teammates, The Game climbed back into the ring to finally chop down
his opponent. However, with such combustible elements around the ring at the
same time, all hell was bound to break loose – and it did.
