Update on my workout

2011-03-09T01:30:00.002-05:00

I have been very ill over the last few weeks and that is the sole reason for me not posting. Once my health is 100% I will continue with my plan to get in shape and conditioning my body. I am not sure how but even while sick I have gained 5lbs. This may be due to my wife being pregnant, somehow I gain all the weight and she stays the same weight until the second trimester. I am starting to feel a little better, and my foot is almost 100% so within the next week or so I will start with my original plan to diet and start a regular workout routine. Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to feel better. The latest update as of 3/8/11 according to my doctor was that my white blood cells were highly elevated. What I thought was a stomach bug may be something a little more serious. I have a doctors appointment on 3/9/11 so hopefully they can shed some light as to why I a as sick I am. I will keep you updated on that, and once again I am sorry to have to have not been posting as I had planned. Stay tuned for updates. If you would like to partake in any discussion from this board please post it on my blog. Any suggestions, ideas, or opinion will be extremely helpful.

Strength Training & Conditioning

2011-02-26T00:04:00.000-05:00

So as I was mentally preparing myself for strength training and body conditioning, I fell on the ice tonight and have messed up my foot really bad. This weekend was supposed to be my last weekend of eating garbage, and being lazy. As for eating healthy, as of Monday morning I will start a strict diet which I found on a quick Google search of George St-Pierre's diet. It's not his full diet plan, but it does give the basics and how to get started. As soon as my foot heals properly, I will start conditioning my body Working my core, and making sure to get in an upper and lower body workout throughout the course of a week. I will post daily directly in this thread as to what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as my weight, target weight, and my workout sessions. I don't believe that eating healthy alone will help anyone lose weight. I think a proper diet and exercise plan is what is what it takes to reach ones target goal. Stay tuned for my progress! Make sure you follow my blog to receive my updates!

Worlds Best Pound For Pound Fighter....Who is it?

2011-02-20T14:44:00.000-05:00

Anderson Silva’s spectacular first-round knockout win over former 205-pound champion Vitor Belfort solidified his kung fu grip on the claim of best fighter in the world, pound for pound. Belfort represented the final unknown at 185 pounds, at least for the time being. That may change in time. Maybe even in the short term. But as I sit here today, I cannot think of a single person fighter that Silva “needs” to fight. 13 UFC bouts. 13 wins. Eight consecutive successful defenses of the title. Both of those stand as UFC records, by wide margins. With nothing left to prove in the middleweight division, what else is there for Silva, other than focusing on establishing his legacy? He is lying if he claims that he doesn’t think about the label of Greatest of All Time. Of course he thinks about it. Every fighter wants to go down as the greatest to don a pair of vale tudo gloves. Silva is no different. Again, Silva is universally regarded as the greatest fighter in the world, pound for pound, and he has owned that undisputed title for several years. But is he the greatest ever? Randy Couture certainly has to be included in any discussion of the G.O.A.T. He has several career records of his own. Couture will forever go down as the first man to ever win titles in two different weight divisions—heavyweight and light heavyweight. He is the only man to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship three separate times. He is also the only man to win the 205-pound title twice. His nine wins in UFC championship bouts ties him with Silva and Matt Hughes. Couture certainly has a legitimate claim to the title of G.O.A.T. But one must weigh the value of winning across divisions versus Silva’s record-setting run in one. Silva is a former 170-pound competitor, but that was before his arrival in the UFC. He also has a couple of great wins at 205 pounds, including a win over a former champion in Forrest Griffin, though he has not yet won a UFC title outside of the middleweight division. Couture comfortably holds the edge, therefore, on multi-division success within the UFC. Where Silva stands out compared to his much older rival is the length of his title reign and undefeated start to his UFC career. Most people will probably be surprised to know that Couture’s longest winning streak in the UFC is only seven fights, and he lost three times outside the UFC during that run. “The Natural” has never gone more than four professional fights without a loss. And his longest winning streak over the last decade sits at three. Again, one’s definition of all-time greatness dictates whether Couture gets the nod for his success across divisions or Silva for his unmatched reign at middleweight. Let’s not forget this guy named Georges St-Pierre, either. It may very well come to pass that when the smoke settles, he passes Silva in both consecutive wins and successful title defenses. The odds are against him, but it could happen. Better yet, GSP could remove Silva from the debate by scoring a timeless upset in a much ballyhooed future catchweight fight with the pound-for-pound kingpin. It is a fight often bandied about at bars and on Internet forums, and UFC President Dana White seems committed to making it happen, if GSP gets past Jake Shields in April. For the record, I am torn. I flip flop all the time. One day I will firmly believe that there is no reason for Silva to leave the comforts of the middleweight division. The next day it becomes a pound-for-pound requisite, if he wants to stand before Couture. The truth of the matter is there is no right answer. Not until Silva, Couture and GSP have concluded their illustrative careers. Mixed martial arts has such a short history that it is impossible to predict how fans will evaluate the respective careers of Randy Couture, Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre 20 years from now. All we can do is look to boxing’s more than century-long history for some guidance. Most top 10 lists include some variation of the following 15 names, in no particular order: Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Roberto Duran, Benny Leonard, Sam Langford, Joe Gans, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Roy Jones Jr., Jack Johnson, Manny Pacquiao, Harry Greb and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Only six of the names among that list did not win championships across multiple divisions. Three of them, Ali, Louis and Johnson, were heavyweights. Langford never won a legitimate world title, but that was due to the racist realities of his day, not his talent, since he defeated many former or future champions from lightweight up to light heavyweight. In any other era, Langford would have won titles across several divisions. Both Pep and Gans fought their entire championship careers in one division, featherweight and lightweight, respectively. Contrast that list with division record holders for most successful title defenses in boxing history. Louis holds the all-time mark at 25 and is the only single-division champion who graces both lists. Joe Calzaghe, Sven Ottke, Dariusz Michalczewski, Bernard Hopkins, Eusebio Pedroza, Wilfredo Gomez, Khaosai Galaxy, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Ricardo Lopez each put together historic runs in their respective divisions, but one rarely sees any of those names pop up on all-time pound-for-pound lists. It is safe to assume, therefore, that Silva’s claim for G.O.A.T. would be more persuasive in the decades to come, if he is able to move up in weight to capture the 205-pound championship. Defending his 185-pound title a couple of additional times probably won’t do much to enhance his legacy, unless he can get the number to something absurd like 20. If I am part of Team Silva, I think the path to solidify his legacy is a very clear one. He must first take care of business against GSP, assuming the French-Canadian gets past Shields. That fight is all about helping to define GSP’s legacy. It does nothing for Silva. Let’s be honest for a moment. The size differential between the two is going to be shocking come fight time. If GSP wins, it will be one of the all-time great upsets. If Silva wins, he beat someone he was supposed to beat, regardless of GSP’s true level of greatness. Nonetheless, it is a fight that has to happen. GSP wants it. The fans demand it. And Zuffa recognizes that it may very well be the biggest fight in UFC history. So it makes a lot of sense from a lot of perspectives, other than Silva’s. Assuming Silva passes the GSP test, I believe that he should instantly challenge for the light heavyweight crown. Don’t pass go. Don’t collect $200. Move up and try to make history. The one thing that nobody has been able to accomplish, not Couture and not BJ Penn (who is the only other two-division champion in history) is to simultaneously hold belts in two divisions. Silva has the size and skills to do just that. He should then defend both belts, moving up and down in weight until his luck runs out. If he can put together two or three defenses at each weight, it will throw down the gauntlet for greatness for fighters decades into the future. The other storybook ending would be to win the 205-pound title and retire the next day. That is one heck of a way to go out. I think Silva needs to be very careful taking 205 pound fights without the belt being on the line. Those are unnecessary risks. Only bad can come from non-title affairs against light heavies. Winning doesn’t improve his legacy and losing crushes it because it eliminates the argument by his supporters that Silva could have dominated at 205, just like he did at 185 pounds. That argument is critical for the G.O.A.T. argument, if the champion doesn’t actually move up and challenge for the title. Is Silva the true G.O.A.T.? Based on his body of work to date and my view on what would happen if he faced Shogun Rua, or any other 205-pound champion who isn’t a ground-and-pound specialist, it is tough to argue against him.

WWE Smackdown Results 02/19/2011

2011-02-20T14:27:00.000-05:00

SAN DIEGO – "Acting" SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero's scheme to crown her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler World Champion finally unraveled when real GM Theodore Long returned to SmackDown after his mysterious attack in January. After all was said and done, there was no question that Edge was the true World Heavyweight Champion on the historic 600th episode of SmackDown two nights before the SmackDown Elimination Chamber Match. SmackDown milestone SmackDown's 600th episode officially made the show the third longest running weekly episodic TV show in history. Edge def. Dolph Ziggler to regain the World Title With the World Heavyweight Championship technically vacant, Teddy Long righted things by arranging a championship match between Edge and Dolph Ziggler. The Ultimate Opportunist claimed his 11th World Title by dropping Ziggler with a crushing Spear. After the match, Teddy Long said good riddance to Ziggler by firing him. To cap off the historic night, The Rated-R Superstar added insult to injury by leading the WWE Universe in singing “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye,” as Vickie and her boyfriend exited the ring with their tails between their legs. SmackDown GM Theodore Long interrupted the World Heavyweight Championship Coronation of Dolph Ziggler With Teddy Long out of the picture after being attacked in January, Vickie and Dolph though they had the perfect plan to wrest the World Title from Edge. After Edge used the Spear last week against Ziggler, Vickie declared that he was no longer the true champion because she deemed the move illegal. But just as their grand plan was about to come to fruition, Teddy Long appeared on SmackDown, shocking Vickie, Ziggler, and the entire WWE Universe, alike. Cracking under the pressure, Vickie revealed it was Ziggler who attacked Teddy back in January. As the two lovers quarreled, Teddy rehired Edge and arranged for him to face Ziggler for the World Title. WWE Tag Team Champions Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel by Disqualification Just when it looked like WWE Tag Team Champion Santino Marella was going to defeat Justin Gabriel after a lethal Cobra strike, Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson pounced on him. But before they could inflict serious damage, Big Show came charging to the ring. The World’s Largest Athlete wasted no time clearing the ring of every member of The Corre. Glaring from outside the ring, Jackson appeared ready to go one-on-one with Big Show, but decided to back away and save their battle for another day. WWE Champion The Miz def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a Non-Title Match As The Miz and Kofi Kingston went to war, Alberto Del Rio decided to come to ringside to taunt his Elimination Chamber opponent with his scarf. The WWE Champion capitalized on the momentary distraction and dropped Kingston with a vicious Skull-Crushing Finale. Kingston will surely remember Del Rio’s actions come Sunday. Maryse & Layla def. Divas Champion Eve & Beth Phoenix As Divas Champion Eve was getting the better of Layla, Michelle McCool jumped up from the announce table to offer her thoughts on the action. Beth Phoenix quickly silenced McCool, but the distraction left the door open for Maryse and Layla to drop Eve with a devastating double-kick. "Acting" SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero fired Edge Citing Edge’s illegal use of the Spear last week, Vickie declared Dolph Ziggler, not Edge, the true World Heavyweight Champion. Then, after saying there would be a Championship Coronation for her boyfriend later in the night, she fired The Rated-R Superstar! John Cena, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio & Edge def. CM Punk, Sheamus, Kane, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre in a 12-Man Tag Team Match As the third longest weekly episodic TV program in history, SmackDown kicked off its 600th episode with a massive 12-Man Tag Team Match. With members of both the Raw and SmackDown Elimination Chamber Matches in action, it was Edge and Drew McIntyre who tangled first. In the end, it was a 619 from Rey Mysterio to both Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler that set up Edge to seal the deal for his team by Spearing Ziggler.

Change of venue

2011-02-14T20:55:00.000-05:00

I have been working in the debt collection business since December 4th 2004. This could be a very profitable business, the economy has really taken it's toll on the amount of money to be made. I remember when I first starting collecting, bring home bonus checks of $1000 or more, and that's on top of my salary, which wasn't shabby. Today I decided to leave my job, with no other prospects in mind. The main purpose of me doing this is not just because of the economy, it was the constant rule changes and bonus structure changes as well. It seemed as if each month, I would get a smaller bonus based on new structure. Don't get me wrong, collections can and still will a very profitable business, just not at this particular company. I will be seeking new employment at collections, but if you have any questions as far as the legal aspects of what debt collector can or can not do, just contact me and I will give you tips and pointers on what is legal and what is not.

WWE News Swirls as the Undertaker's WrestleMania Fate Is Decided

2011-02-13T21:57:00.000-05:00

According to Justin LeBar of WrestleZone.com, the Undertaker's WrestleMania opponent will be none other than Triple H.

Yes, we do know that the two met at WrestleMania 17, where the Undertaker beat Triple H, but this one will play off of the Streak vs. Career stipulation that centered around last year's match between Taker and Shawn Michaels.

The report says this plan is all but official and should be revealed on WWE programming very soon. I think the only way to push this match over the top is to get the Heartbreak Kid himself to somehow be involved in the match.

Who wouldn't want to watch a match featuring Triple H against the Undertaker with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee? It would be like stepping back into my childhood. It would be more than intriguing to see what WWE would do with the streak.

They can't end the streak, can they? If they do, it will confirm all of the nasty things people have said about Triple H in the past, whether they are deserved or not. Either way, this could be the match that steals the show and buries all hope of the 2-21-11 videos having anything to do with a possible Sting debut in the WWE.

2011 WM Host......Remember, this is just rumor right now

2011-02-13T21:50:00.001-05:00

A lot of people have tried to figure out who the guest host will be for WresteMania, but according to WrestleNewz.com, it is going to be none other than The Rock.

This would be a huge move for the WWE, who have tried to do something with the Rock for years, only to have his schedule get in the way. There are few superstars in the history of the WWE who have been as charismatic on the microphone as the Rock and he'd be sure to crack us up, even if he has to deal with the restrictions of the PG Era.

It would certainly be better than most of the guest hosts WWE brought in for Raw, and would certainly be a move that would drive up pay-per-view buys, especially after the company announced that buys had been down recently.

I know I would personally think about forking over the money to see the Rock back on WWE programming. Hopefully he would check a couple people into the SmackDown hotel with a Rock Bottom or two.

Otherwise, I would be a tiny bit disappointed. What about you? Would the Rock's appearance on WWE programming sway you towards buying WrestleMania, or are you turned off by the high price and the quality of the product? Would the full card be more of a factor in your decision?

Kelly Kelly

2011-02-13T21:35:00.000-05:00

With no prior experience, model turned World Wrestling Entertainment diva Kelly Kelly has grown in the ring and proved she is not just another pretty face.

The blonde bombshell, real name Barbara Blank, was discovered by the company through a modeling agency in 2006.

“I was the youngest diva they ever had, which is really cool,” Kelly said.

She began training at Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE’s former developmental territory in Louisville and was called up almost immediately to be part of WWE’s new ECW brand. The diva was billed as an exhibitionist who performed stripteases for a worldwide audience.

Kelly was the girlfriend of jealous on-screen boyfriend Mike Knox and a member of the all-girl dance trio Extreme Expose. She caught the interest of viewers. Good looks may have got her in the door, but a strong work ethic earned her the respect of fans and co-workers.

“When I started in ECW, I would have to say Tommy Dreamer and Andrew [Test Martin], who is not alive anymore, have helped me out,” Kelly said.

“On the diva side, I would say Michelle McCool has helped me out a lot as well. They took me under their wings.”

The 24-year-old was rewarded for her strides in the company and popularity with an increased on-screen presence. On a recent episode of WWE SmackDown (8 p.m. Fridays Syfy), she teamed with Edge to defend his world heavyweight championship against LayCool and Dolph Ziggler.

“I think the match we just had is one of the first main events the girls have been a part of, probably within the last 10 years,” Kelly said.

“So it was really cool to do that and finally have a main event match and be at the beginning of the show with [acting WWE SmackDown GM] Vickie [Guerrero]. They put a lot of effort into me and my character lately. It has been great. I hope they continue to spotlight the divas more.”

Even though a showdown against the official SD consultant isn’t a possibility right now, (Guerrero fired Kelly on-air), Kelly has other plans in mind for the future, when she returns to WWE TV.

“I hope to win a championship because I have never had a title,” Kelly said. “That would be a dream of a lifetime.

This statement alone tells that she isn't done with the WWWE just yet, let's see what the future has in store for Kelly Kelly!!!

WWE John Cena. what are your thughts and opinions??

2011-02-13T12:12:00.000-05:00

A lot of people dislike this guy, my question is WHY? John Cena donates charities, his in ring persona is persona is excellent with the kids and his mic skills are phenomenal. I'd like to know what everyone else thinks, because this young man worked his butt off to be where he is today, and there are many forums calling him a 5 move wrestler. The in ring skill takes time, and entertaining with some of the best.I have no doubt he WILL have more skills in the future, just give the guy the break.

UFC 127: BJ Penn Prepares for Fitch By Bringing in Matt Hughes

2011-02-11T22:18:00.000-05:00

In less than two weeks, BJ Penn will meet Jon Fitch inside the Octagon in what will be one of the biggest fights of his long MMA career. Fitch is widely considered the No. 2 welterweight in the world and so a victory for BJ would put him very close to rematch with George St-Pierre.
What a lot of people are wondering going into this fight is how BJ Penn is preparing for Jon Fitch. After Penn's second loss to Frankie Edgar, it became apparent that BJ wasn't surrounding himself with the right kind of people to prepare for his fights. Penn was clearly losing the fight and the best advice his corner had to offer in between rounds was "Smash him, BJ." Penn relied far too much on his own natural talent going into that fight and didn't work enough on actual strategy.
Going into his fight with Fitch, it looks as if Penn has learned from his mistakes. BJ brought in welterweight legend Matt Hughes to help him prepare.
While Hughes isn't exactly relevant at welterweight these days, his style is very similar to Fitch's. Both men have decent hands, but do not possess devastating knockout power. Both are excellent wrestlers and rely heavily on their grappling ability to win fights.
Fitch and Hughes do have some differences, however. Hughes has the better submission game and so Penn will likely be ready for any submission Fitch will go for, although Penn's submission defense wasn't really in question to begin with.
Another huge difference is that Hughes is on his way out of the UFC and Fitch is in the prime of his career. Based on that, BJ should expect that Fitch will be stronger than Hughes and will probably have better cardio too.
Although Hughes may not be an exact copy of Fitch, he is definitely one of the best people Penn could have brought in to mimic Fitch's style, as well as help him develop his game plan.
It's great to see that Penn is working hard and developing an intelligent strategy for this fight, rather than relying on his natural ability. But will the hard work pay off? Watch UFC 127 on Feb. 26 to find out.

Georges St-Pierre is ready to retire...Read on for more infro

2011-02-10T00:52:00.000-05:00

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is ready to retire when he's considered the sport's pound-for-pound best.

Don't worry, though. On a special "Primetime" edition of MMAjunkie Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) this past Friday, St-Pierre said he's not quite there yet.

But the traditional reason for sticking around – fame and money – isn't his primary concern. Doing it his way is.

"People are going to be shocked," St-Pierre said of his tentative retirement plan.

St-Pierre (20-2 MMA, 15-2 UFC) currently is in Las Vegas wrapping up a coaching stint on "The Ultimate Fighter 12" opposite top contender Josh Koscheck (15-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC). The two are expected to meet sometime at the end of the year in a traditional season-ending fight between "TUF" coaches.

Beyond that, he's done some additional planning. In fact, St-Pierre said his potential retirement plan recently came about while he was setting goals for his remaining career.

"Growing up in my career, I always fix my goals very high," he said. "And every time I achieve one of my [goals], I fix another goal to reach. It's important as a martial artist [never to be] satisfied because otherwise there is no point to keep doing what you're doing."

As to what goals remain, there are a few. St-Pierre has achieved what he initially set out to do: become a professional fighter, become a UFC fighter, and finally, become a UFC champion.

Being considered the best overall fighter in the world? That's the one goal he thinks currently is unmet.

That doesn't mean he's complacent, of course. In his second run as welterweight champion, St-Pierre has taken on four consecutive contenders and soundly beaten them all. At the end of the year, he will attempt to tie former champion Matt Hughes' record of five consecutive title defenses when he meets Koscheck.

Still, some fans believe St-Pierre already has cleaned out his division. He's already beaten all the division's top contenders – Koscheck, Jon Fitch, Thiago Alves and Dan Hardy – and some point to a middleweight showdown against current champion Anderson Silva as a final hurdle to the pound-for-pound crown. Silva is still widely considered to be the holder of that unofficial title. St-Pierre knows he could snatch it away by beating him.

But St-Pierre said a move up in weight would likely come near the end of his career, and it won't come anytime soon.

"If I go up in weight, it's going to be hard to go down," he said. "If I put on lean muscle like I already did recently ... it's going to be hard to come back down. So it's not like I go up and I go down. I have to be very careful with what I do."

Still, if St-Pierre takes "a couple" of welterweight fights in the next year or two, and if Silva is still the pound-for-pound king at that point, the French-Canadian then would consider moving up to fight him. And if he defeats Silva, that's a win worthy of retirement, he said.

"If one day I fight at 185 pounds for a superfight to know who is the best pound-for-pound in the world, (and) if I reach my goal, then my goal will be reached," St-Pierre said. "There will be no point for me to still compete because I'm not going to have a goal left."

St-Pierre also said he wants to secure his and his family's future before he takes the risk of moving up, though money and fame aren't the driving forces in his career.

"Of course, the money's there," he said. "The difference between me and a lot of fighters ... (is that) a lot of fighters fight for the fame. They fight for the money.

"Yeah, the money is there. It's pleasant. The money is there. It's good that I have this security. I have a lot of money now. It's good. But there is a lot of things I can do outside of mixed martial arts ... because of the name that I reached with MMA, that the UFC helped me to have.

"The fame is the same thing. I didn't have it in the beginning, and now I have it. But if one day I reach my goal of becoming the best pound-for-pound (fighter) of all-time, it will be time for me to retire. But I don't know right now, at 29 years old, if I want to retire. So it's better I have to stick around."

MILWAUKEE – One night after the Green Bay Packers posted an amazing victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, Raw rolled into Wisconsin to keep the party going.
CM Punk def. John Cena by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS)
CM Punk and John Cena will square off inside the Elimination Chamber in two weeks. The combatants got a head start tonight, though, when they clashed in a singles match. Before he would allow himself to fall victim to Punk’s minions, 2010’s WWE Superstar of the Year caught his opponent with a low blow. The shot got Cena disqualified and left Punk reeling.
The remainder of The New Nexus charged down the entrance ramp. As Mason Ryan attended to his boss, Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga took aim at Cena. Before they could avenge Punk, however, Jerry “The King” Lawler handed Cena a steel chair, which he used to clobber the two Nexi and send a clear message to The Second City Savior: John Cena isn’t about to go without a fight.
Alberto Del Rio def. Santino Marella (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Alberto Del Rio outlasted 39 other Superstars to prevail in the Royal Rumble Match. The man he sent over the top rope to win, WWE Tag Team Champion Santino Marella, wanted a second chance. Unfortunately for the Italian, the outcome was similar. Marella ended up tapping out to the Mexican elitist.
King Sheamus vs. David Otunga ended in a No Contest (WATCH | PHOTOS)
CM Punk continues to prove himself a shrewd operator. Prior to a match pitting David Otunga against King Sheamus, the head of The New Nexus presumably orchestrated a scuffle between the Irishman and Mark Henry by planting false accusations between the two. In addition to shielding his disciple from potential harm, the move also sparked a blow-up between The World’s Strongest Man and The Celtic Warrior, who was reeling from the effects of The World’s Strongest Slam.
Jerry "The King" Lawler & U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan def. WWE Champion The Miz & Ted DiBiase (WATCH | PHOTOS)
If WWE Champion The Miz thinks he can coast in his title match against Jerry “The King” Lawler at WWE Elimination Chamber, he’d better think again. The WWE Hall of Famer teamed with U.S. Champion Daniel Bryan against Miz & Ted DiBiase. Lawler showed that he remains a force inside the ring when he used his experience to level The “Fortunate Son” for the three-count.
John Morrison def. Michael McGillicutty (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In their effort to weaken each of CM Punk’s Elimination Chamber opponents, The New Nexus scored yet again. This time, it was Michael McGillicutty who tackled the challenge of John Morrison. Although The Shaman of Sexy prevailed, he was ambushed after the bout when The Second City Savior struck him from behind, sprayed a chemical substance in his eyes and kicked him in the head.
Divas Champion Eve, Gail Kim & Tamina def. The Bella Twins & Melina (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The bad blood flowed thick when Divas Champion Eve teamed up with Gail Kim & Tamina to compete against The Bella Twins & Melina. With loads of animosity looming large, it was the recently crowned Divas Champion who secured the win for her team by pinning Melina. Eve's troubles aren't over just yet, though. Next week, the Divas Champion must defend her title against former champion Natalya.
R-Truth def. Mason Ryan by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In the first match of the evening, Nexus strongman Mason Ryan faced off with R-Truth. Ryan showed he possesses both size and sadism. The Welshman refused to release his submission hold, punishing Truth’s legs. His insistence cost Ryan the bout due to disqualification.
The New Nexus attacked Randy Orton (WATCH)
After Randy Orton punted their colleague, Husky Harris, in the skull last week, The New Nexus was hungry for retribution. As a result, the group surrounded The Viper and beat him down mercilessly. The group's leader, CM Punk, then explained why he had cost Orton the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble: He hadn't forgotten that WWE's Apex Predator cost him his World Heavyweight Championship in 2008. However, that was hardly the end of their night.
The anonymous Raw General Manager eschewed the group’s “gang mentality” and announced that members of The New Nexus would compete in individual matches against participants in the upcoming Raw Elimination Chamber Match. The bouts would culminate in a contest between New Nexus leader CM Punk and John Cena.
Mr. McMahon announced that the WrestleMania host will be revealed next week (WATCH | PHOTOS)
