4/20/10 NXT

-Instead of a shillfest, Micheal Cole is backstage with Matt Striker going over the Extreme Rules main attractions: Glen Jacobs vs Shawn Micheals in an All-Or-Nothing Ladder Match for a contract and the WWE title, Edge vs Vickie Guerrero vs Chris Jericho in an Extreme Intergender Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight title, and of course, the War Games match, Team Flair vs Team Hitman. Cole then says tonight in a preview of Extreme Rules, there will be an all-rookie War Games match, with the winning team in the four-way last week, The Martin Brothers, as co-captains against "The man with the charisma of a kazoo" Brian Daniel-san and David Otunga. Matt Striker was asked for his thoughts, and he simply shoved Micheal Cole into a locker and put a padlock over it, swallowing the key.

-THE MIZ vs KUNG FU NAKI
Another Extreme Rules preview as ShoMiz is set to rematch for their tag belts. Back and forth battle with Funaki starting out slow but building momentum, until Big Show started walking down the ramp, allowing Miz to hit Skull-Crushing Finale for the three count. *

-WAR GAMES: Team BriTunga (Brian Daniel-san, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, and Darren Young) vs Team Martin (Alex Martin, Josh Martin, Michael Tarver, Wade Barrett, and Skip Sheffield)
Insane clusterfuck of a match that featured lots of double team moves and attempted finishers, but Brian Daniel-san would get the win for his team by hitting Josh Martin with a Russian Leg Sweep. *1/2

-Ric Flair was watching in the back, and looked to the camera.
"You see that, Bret? WAR GAMES BABY! The craziest most dangerous fight in the business! Now you may have Jimmy Snuka as your fifth man, but it doesn't matter. You have Dusty Rhodes, but- WHOO- he hasn't wrestled in years! You got Jerry Lawler, a never-was from Memphis, and Bob Backlund who lost his second title in eight friggin seconds! But me, Bret? I got more War Games experience than your entire team COMBINED! And I'm leading MY team to prove that once and for all, YOU are not on my level. WHOOO!"

-Santa Monica Sheamus walked into the interview.
"Well let me tell you somethin' Ric Flair, you may be a legend, you may be a 16-time champion, but Flair, there's one thing Santa Monica Sheamus has that you don't brother..."

Flair: "Micheal Jackson skin?"

Sheamus: "NO brother! I'm talkin' the Sheamusamaniacs! You and me Flair, we're gonna prove who the true 80s icon is tonight brother, right here in Austrailia, and you say to be the man you gotta beat the man brother... well, I'm not a man dude, I'm an IMMORTAL! And when I beat the man brother, I'm going to get one step closer to Glen Jacobs! WHATCHA GONNA DO FLAIR!"

Flair slaps Sheamus, who SHEAMUSES UP and points at Flair, who just shakes his head and walks off...

-SANTA MONICA SHEAMUS vs RIC FLAIR
Flair was in control for most of the match, using his dirty tacts to get ahead. When he went for the Figure Four though, Sheamus kicked him off, hit the boot then the leg drop for the win. 1/4*
