Greetings. Four matches on tap today. Maria is still our ring announcer and she is sporting a cast on one of her hands due to an injury suffered at a recent house show. Without further ado let's send it in for our first match:-

Charlie Haas & Viscera vs Chris Cronus & Michael Hunter
Haas and Viscera come out together to Haas' music. They look like they're playing a cocky hip duo. Yet again Grisham and Coachman neglect to mention which Jobber is whom so I'll go by Jobber 1 and Jobber 2. Haas begins with a go-behind and a couple of shoves to Jobber 1. Jobber 1 tries a waistlock, Haas counters into a takedown before twisting over Jobber 1 and clubbing him in the head a few times. Haas applies a chinlock. Jobber 1 punches out, Haas knees the gut before nailing a dropkick off the ropes. Haas boots, tag to Viscera. Haas drop toeholds Jobber 1 off the ropes before Viscera drops a leg across the back of his head. Jobber 2 tags in but his punches don't faze Viscera who clotheslines him down after Jobber 2 tries a whip attempt. Viscera beats on the chest before sending Jobber 2 off the ropes into a backelbow. Viscera drops an elbow off the ropes before tagging in Haas. Viscera holds Jobber 2 by the hair in a seated position as Haas kicks the back a couple of times before dropping a knee across Jobber 2's face. Haas sends Jobber 2's head into the corner. Both men exchange punches until Haas ducks and delivers a one armed t-bone suplex. Haas elbows the back of the head a couple of times before trapping Jobber 2 in a front facelock. Jobber 2 tries to punch out, Haas with a knee sends Jobber 2 off the ropes who hangs on and telegraphs a backbodydrop with a boot to the head. Jobber 1 tags in, Haas ducks a lunge lands a german suplex and Jobber 1 is sitting on his ass in the corner. Viscera tags in. Viscera and Haas whip Jobber 1 into Jobber 2 before Haas Irish whips Viscera in to squash them both. Jobber 2 falls out of the ring, Viscera gyrates before getting Jobber 1 in a firemans carry. Haas scales the top rope dropkicking Viscera who falls back sending Jobber 1 to the mat. Viscera covers 1-2-3. I think the referee for this match was one of BG James' relatives but his name escapes me. I'm not totally sure what role Haas and Viscera are now playing. Face/Heel or Tweener? Crowd seemed into them a bit during this short opener. Haas is less boring now. Here Are Your Winners: CHARLIE HAAS & VISCERA. Post match both men pose and get their arms raised to Viscera's music.

Victoria hobbles up in some pain as Torrie stomps on her back. Torrie sends Victoria off the ropes, Victoria manages to kick Torrie down. Torrie gets up, Victoria clotheslines her down before picking her up and delivering the Widow's Peak for the 1-2-3. Looks like Victoria took this one home early. A good women's match until the apparent unfortunate injury. I hope Victoria is OK. I doubt that this was a work from the looks of things. Judge for yourself if you choose to watch the show. Here is Your Winner: VICTORIA. Post match Victoria limps around talking some trash to Torrie.

Rob Conway vs Eugene
Main event time. Rematch of sorts from a few weeks back. Rob Conway is the 2006 version of Steven Richards who just can't seem to buy a win. Eugene comes out to a good pop still sporting the paint stains courtesy of the McMahons from a few weeks back on Raw. Grisham plays up Eugene beating the McMahons but neglects to mention his subsequent squash the next week to Randy Orton which killed his momentum. Eugene waves to the crowd, shakes the referee's hand and pulls him in for a hug. Conway slaps away Eugene's offer of a handshake which upsets Eugene. Conway begins with a side headlock before maneuvering into a rollup for one. Conway applies a wristlock then bars the arm, Eugene rolls through into a reversal but Conway throws Eugene down by the hair.

Eugene goes for the People's Elbow complete with removing the imaginary elbow pad but Conway gets up and swings a leg. Eugene catches, spins Conway round boots the gut and hits the Stone Cold Stunner for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: EUGENE. Good match but not as good as their previous bout. Eugene is hot/cold with the crowd. He generally gets more of a reaction on Heat to Raw. I think he should ditch the character now and be straight laced Nick Dinsmore.

Grisham plugs Mick Foley's appearance and Shawn Michaels vs Umaga for tomorrow night on Raw before signing off and thanking us for watching to end the show.
