WWE ran a rare "unadvertised" house show last night in Luftnarp a few hours after the Smackdown tapings ended. Not all of the big guns were there for that reason - but it was still one heck of a show.
Titus O'Neil d. a Physical Manifestation of the Greed Inside His Own Soul - Pretty good match that saw Titus go to the top rope for a nice superplex on the abstract made real. His Greed busted out some pretty beautiful lariats, but Titus hit the Clash of the Titans at the end to win. Afterwards, he got on the mic and said "I have conquered my evil - I have transcended it!! Darren Young, join me in Absolution!" As he turned into a ball of light and flew through the roof of the arena. Good stuff.
Batista, Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and HHH d. Arn Anderson, Ric Flair (1980s version), Mongo, and Chris Benoit (1997 version). Crowd popped HUGE for Benoit's entrance, while the Evolution Reunion got a huge amount of boos. Batista and Orton had a long, uncomfortable embrace in the ring (I guess to explain them suddenly being friends?). The end came when the 2 Flairs touched and exploded into quantum ashes. HHH then hit a pedigree on Arn Anderson while yelling "Daniel Bryan, I dare you to try and top this!". Evolution (carrying Flair's ashes) then left to a chorus of boos while CM Punk's music played.
Daniel Bryan was then announced to be competing in a "7 levels of Hell match", in which the next 7 matches were all him versus various opponents. If he won all the levels - he got a title shot against Orton!!! Crowd went NUTS for this!
Daniel Bryan d. Ryback. Basic squash, Bryan distracted Ryback by tossing a penny on the floor, then kicked him in the head.
Bryan d. Axel. Hilarious because Bryan used the same penny trick/head kick. Easy win.
Time kind of fell out of joint here, and suddenly 4 Daniel Bryans were in the ring.
Daniel Bryan, Daniel Bryan, Daniel Bryan, and Daniel Bryan d. The Shield and Zeb Colter. The highlight of this match was definitely all 4 D-Bry's simultaneously kicking their opponents in the chests. The finish came when Zeb went for an Ace Crusher, only to accidentally hit it on Reigns. Bryan made Zeb tap out while the Shield retreated in a helicopter. The three Bryans then turned into mist and floated back into the original Bryan.
Final level of Hell - D Bry defeated a giant golden statue of Vince McMahon. Did this top D-Bry vs Giant Robot from a while back? Yes Yes Yes! Highlight came as Bryan hit the Knee Plus on the statue, which exploded into 6 smaller statues. Bryan then ran in a circle so fast he caused a circle of flame to melt down the statues. Bryan then made the puddle of gold tap out with the Yes Lock. Excellent stuff - who knew Bryan could superplex 19 tons???
Main event was Bryan vs Orton. Strong start as Orton fired a volley of laser beams from his fists. Bryan countered by growing 12 foot tall. Tons of back and forth stuff as each threw their best moves at one another. The finish came as Orton retreated out of the ring in order to grab a guitar. Orton started playing the guitar, which cracked the ring in half and summoned up a giant raven (the bird, not the wrestler). The raven then attacked Bryan, leading to a DQ win for him. Bryan then kicked the Raven so hard it exploded into chicken wings, which flew into the crowd. Orton then turned into a puddle of oil and slithered out of the arena. Crowd went home happy as Bryan chowed down in the front row with some lucky fans.
After the show, Jake the Snake Roberts told us to come back real soon for another show, then began laughing. As I left the building, I realized I forgot my jacket on the seat. I turned around and the arena was gone. Also, my jacket was now on me. Good stuff, WWE really knows how to keep people entertained! I can't wait for the next show!
