Last post...all for DX!
Match 8: DX vs. Spirit Fingers
Now, here's a match! This was awesome, needless to say. I just have one issue with DX though. It's not even DX itself. It's the DX fans. They are so fucking annoying!!! The loudest ones at Hooters were constantly yammering on about DX and doing all things DX. I was ready to start administering beatdowns to these rejects.
Then comes Spirit Fingers...and I'll say one thing about them...at least they're not doing cheers anymore!
Before the match started, HBK and HHH decided to play a game of Rock Paper Scissors to figure out who goes first. HILARIOUS.
HBK starts. He starts out strong and decides to use one of the Spirit Fingers' face as a carpet. However, HBK was thrown by the Spirit Fingers corner and initiated huge slugfest.
After this, DX decided they had enough. They cleared out the ring of all Spirit Fingers. One of them had a nosebleed from getting thrown out of the ring. Awesome. Nosebleed boy then gets in the ring and produces a Karate Kid bandanna, which he ties around his head. He then does some stupid martial arts poses. Michaels, terrified for his life, runs away and tags HHH. He was not amused.
HHH comes in and stands there as nosebleed boy dances around for a minute displaying his mad martial arts moves. HHH decides he has enough and slugs the guy, flooring him instantly. As it turns out, nosebleed boy was NOT the chosen one.
A bit later, another Spirit Finger was Irish Whipped hard into the turnbuckle, turns around, and motions for a "time-out" to HHH. HHH decided not to comply and kick his ass with generic disregard for his health. After a while, HHH was worn down, though, and needed to tag in Shawn Michaels.
HBK had his way with the Spirit Fingers for a while, especially with the Atomic Drop. HBK was going to do the Sweet Chin Music on someone but was attacked. He then got a bad spin kick to his face and was apparently killed (you know how Shawn Michaels can sprawl out when hit).
Other highlights: Spirit Fingers used a trampoline to jump up in the air and Bulldog HBK through the air! HHH didn't like that and attacked the trampoline. HBK was rather dead at this point, but managed to same himself via a Double-DDT and just made the tag.
The match was eventually ended via a cooperative effort. A Spirit Finger managed to get himself trapped between HBK and HHH. Another Spirit Finger tried to save him, but HBK Superkicked him, while HHH Pedigreed the other Spirit Finger. They got the pin.
After, they did the same thing to two other Spirit Fingers, but didn't have enough. They decided they were going to mock Spirit Fingers and Vince McMahon at the same time. HBK locked up one Spirit Finger while HHH revealed his ass McMahon-style. HBK forced the Spirit Finger to kiss HHH's ass. Now, I didn't need to see HHH's ass, but it was still funny.
Vince came out after, mouthing "I'll be seeing you tomorrow night" just before fade to black. Ooh.
Result: DX def. Spirit Fingers
Conclusion
Not too bad. I'll take this PPV over pretty much any of last year's PPV's. Though, I have to make sure to do something for a friend...it's time for Redface's PPV awards!
I've been charged with awarding these...awards...for this PPV, since Redface won't be making a recap. here are the awards and the eplanations:
Redface Best Match of the Night Award - DX vs. Spirit Squad
It may be corny and expected, but this match was great. Excellent technical wrestling from both sides, and tons of humor as well. The "Karate Kid" segment in the middle really brought the whole DX attitude out and just provided the comic relief you expect from a bunch of fucking male cheerleaders.
Redface Brightest Star of the Night Award - Carlito
I chose Carlito because I feel like he was did a really damn good job tonight. It's tough to spot in a Triple Threat match, as there has to be the parts where one wrestler is dead so that they can "come in at the unexpected time." Carlito naturally had to do just that, but did it very well. His moves are getting better and better, and he's a fucking awesome at the acrobatic work. His backbreaker is awesome, and he's very ready for the main event. I certainly hope it's just a matter of time for Carlito.
That being said, good PPV, hope it was a good recap!
