Hello. What did you think of Saturday Night's Main Event? It was annoying with all the breaks but it did its job to hype the big matches at WrestleMania and I loved the pre show promos as it was a throwback to Saturday Night's Main Event from back in the day. The in-ring activity was solid and I was shocked Orton took the fall as I thought it would be Cena. That will probably mean Orton goes over though at 'Mania. I hope Angle retains myself. Mark Henry flat out sucks. I wish WWE would just cut its losses on him now. I also saw a few guys in the crowd with TNA shirts on which was sweet. Back to the here and now let's get on with Velocity which begins this weekend with.......

Vito w/Nunzio vs Tatanka
Josh notes Vito's adhered to the WWE dress code as he wears most of a suit to the ring. Vito begins with a side headlock and shouldertackle but runs into a hiptoss then a slam. Tatanka with some chops and a dropkick off the ropes. (Tatanka struggled to get some height on that) Vito to the corner, Tatanka unloads with boots, a chop and a couple of Irish whips and stops to let out his warcry following a fan getting his attention with his own rendition which was pretty funny. Nunzio then halts Tatanka's momentum and grabs his attention by getting on the apron to cause a distraction allowing Vito to forearm Tatanka down. Vito with stomps and punches sends Tatanka off the ropes into a clothesline. Vito with a suplex then an elbow from the top rope gets all pumped up as the crowd boo. Vito scores a nearfall and wrenches at Tatanka's neck area a little. Tatanka chops back and Irish whips but charges into an elbow and Vito lands a slam and Vito bomb from the lower ropes in the corner for a nearfall. Vito throws Tatanka to the mat by the arm and applies a chinlock. Tatanka nearly fights out, Vito throws him down by the hair misses a legdrop off the ropes and Vito walks into a Tatanka slam. Tatanka warcries and dances before dropping a leg off the ropes. Vito off the ropes into a backelbow, Tatanka chops Vito down then backbodydrops off the ropes. Tatanka dances, runs the ropes, tomahawk chops Vito down for a nearfall before coming off the top rope but Vito connects with a mafia kick. Vito ushers Nunzio onto the apron and lifts Tatanka who slips behind and shoves Vito into his partner. Vito turns back and Tatanka nails the Trails End (samoan drop) for the 1-2-3. Strangely this was one of Tatanka and Vito's better outings for a while. Here is Your Winner: TATANKA.

Gymini w/Simon Dean vs Mexicools
Simon cuts a customary pre-match promo. After introducing himself, Simon says tonight we're in for a treat because the Gymini who are sponsored by his patented Simon System are going to put on a clinic. The Gymini are the most impressive physical specimens in the entire Tag Team Division, (his words not mine) unlike the Mexicools who are out of shape because they eat tacos, burritos and a bunch of spicy crap. That withstanding tonight the Gymini will prove that the winning ingredient in Tag Team competition is his... say it with him his patented Simon System Yeeeeahhhh. Simon is cut off by the Mexicools who make their way out on their Juan Deere's. We still don't know which Gymini is which but do we really care as they both suck. A Simon sucks chant begins as Simon stands outside blowing on his whistle throughout the match. Gymini use a side headlock, shouldertackle and shove on Psicosis to begin. Gymini miss a corner charge and elbow out of a Psicosis waistlock but Psicosis comes back with a tilt-a-whirl armdrag off the ropes. Gymini blocks a hiptoss attempt, Psicosis ducks a clothesline and works the arm before tagging Crazy who hits a double axehandle to the Gymini arm from the top rope. Crazy tries to stay on the arm and hits a boot to the head off the ropes. The tide turns when Gymini trip Crazy coming off the ropes and Gymini pull him outside throw him back in and work over him with punches before a throw to the corner sends Crazy outside. Back inside Gymini hit a butterfly suplex for a nearfall. Crazy tries to fight back but runs into a modified hiptoss for another Gymini nearfall. Gymini stomp on Crazy then ground Crazy in a waistlock and as Crazy gets up Gymini turn it into a bearhug. Crazy finally with clapping blows to the head makes Gymini throw him down to the mat for a nearfall. Gymini miss an elbow but drag Crazy away from his corner and go for a slam. Crazy slips behind, Gymini boot and go for a running powerbomb but Crazy gets down boots and quickly hits a Tornado DDT stepping off the ropes before making the hot tag. Psicosis scores with a couple of dropkicks and a spinning heel kick. Psicosis with an Irish whip and corner clothesline sets up a Gymini on the second rope and hits a hurricanrana then hits the other Gymini with a heel kick. Psicosis forearms a Gymini off the apron, fires up and gets the crowd going and back into the match. Psicosis with a side russian legsweep goes to the top rope and hits a legdrop as Crazy punches away on the other Gymini in the corner. Psicosis covers but the referee is busy with Crazy until Crazy turns the referee into position and he counts 1-2-kickout. Crazy runs in again and the Mexicools double team one Gymini in the corner with clotheslines and the referee forces Crazy out. Psicosis backs up and charges but Gymini catch a heel kick attempt and turn it into a double flapjack and they cover as Simon runs round and stops Crazy from getting in by hooking his leg. 1-2-3. Gymini steal one. Here Are Your Winners: GYMINI.

Fatal Four Way #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Title
Jamie Noble vs Brian Kendrick vs Kid Kash vs Paul London
London and Kendrick slap hands to begin. Kash starts pounding on Noble until London and Kendrick get involved but Noble fights them away and boots Kash in the corner. Kash and Noble go at it until London springs Kendrick in the air and he connects with kicks to both Noble and Kash. Kash rolls outside and a double dropkick puts Noble out and after forearming Kash off the apron London and Kendrick respectfully go at it until Kash pulls Kendrick outside and clotheslines. Noble attacks London inside and Irish whips and slams. Noble drops a leg, covers for one. Kash sunset flips in over Noble for a one count, Kash sweeps Noble and kicks the back for a nearfall. Kash charges into a Noble leg lariat and London breaks up a cover by dropkicking Noble. Noble cinches in a dragon sleeper on Kash, London applies a sleeper to Noble at the same time and Noble breaks his hold as London forces him away from the ropes and to the mat. Just as Noble fades Kendrick breaks the hold by landing a double stomp from the top rope which takes out both Noble and London. Kendrick Irish whips Kash and hits a flying forearm and snap suplex for a nearfall. Kash turns the tables on Kendrick with a series of stiff kicks and a suplex release and London breaks up a cover attempt. Noble sends Kendrick gutfirst to the ringpost as London slams Kash and lands a kneedrop. Noble pulls London off of Kash and has the upper hand with both. Noble has a waistlock on Kash, London goes for an enziguiri kick but Kash ducks and Noble takes the hit as we go to a break. We're back as Kash faceplants London down and aims kicks but London retaliates with a clothesline for a nearfall. London Irish whips and charges into a boot. Kash springs to the top rope, Kendrick cuts him off, London and Noble all get involved and the result is an impressive tower of doom move. (Noble powerbombs London who electric chair drops Kash who suplexes Kendrick). Noble is first to recover and gets nearfalls on both Kash and London. Noble puts the boots to both men before hanging London upside down in the corner in a tree of woe position and booting him some more. Noble and Kash go at it with Kash getting the better of it. Kendrick with forearms to Kash goes for Sliced Bread #2 but Noble catches Kendrick and lands a gutbuster. Kash tosses Noble over the top rope to the floor. London dropsaults Kash to the outside and uses an Oklahoma roll on Kendrick to get the 1-2-3. London is the No 1 Contender. This match should have been better. Was largely uneventful. Disappointing considering who was involved. Here is Your Winner: PAUL LONDON. Post match London and Kendrick shake hands and Kendrick raises London's arm before London celebrates. End of show.
