NOTES FOR WEEK 52:
Welcome to Week 52 of Darren’s Win-Loss Records Column for the week of December 24– December 30, 2012. This week was the final full week of 2012. Raw aired on December 31, but the remainder of the week will be included in the 1st week of 2013. Also, next week, you will see some special columns, as I will have the 2nd Part of the 2012 Mid-Year Report looking at July-December, as the 1st Mid-Year Report looked at January-June. I will also have the usual December Month in Review, and the full 2012 Year In Review looking at the entire year. All of that will be done following Raw on New Year’s Eve. Now, to this week’s news & notes.
On Raw, we saw the 2nd week in a row that Team Rhodes Scholars wrestled a tag team in 2 singles matches. Last week they wrestled Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, and this week they wrestled the Tag Team Champions Team Hell No. The special Christmas Eve edition of Raw gave us an 8-Diva Santa’s Helper Match, which was the 1st 8-Person Tag Team Match since December 14 on Smackdown when The Great Khali, Justin Gabriel, Hornswoggle, & Tyson Kidd defeated Epico & Primo and The Prime Time Players. The Diva’s Match was Alicia Fox’s 1st win since she & Layla defeated Audrey Marie & Paige on the October 24 episode of NXT. The Christmas theme gave us 2 Gimmick Matches, bringing the total to 183 overall and 121 for WWE. Sheamus wrestled The Big Show in a Lumber-Jack Frost Match, which was the 1st Lumberjack Match since October 22 on Raw when CM Punk wrestled Sheamus. Also, this was the 4th re-match between Sheamus & The Big Show since October, but this was the 1st time they wrestled each other on regular TV and not Pay-Per-View. We also had a Miracle of 34th Street Fight between John Cena & Alberto Del Rio. This was the 2nd time that Cena & Del Rio faced off as they faced off on Smackdown on November 30. This was the 1st Street Fight on Raw since July 30 when Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan. Raw gave us a Christmas Miracle as Zack Ryder defeated David Otunga, which was Ryder’s 1st win since he and Santino Marella defeated Epico & Primo on Raw on November 5. We saw Kofi Kingston & The Miz teaming up for the 1st time, as they faced off against Wade Barrett & Antonio Cesaro, who teamed up for the 2nd time. Raw also gave us the 1st ever 12 Days of Christmas 12-Man Tag Team Match and Raw was also the 1st time that we had no Disqualifications since December 3.
On Main Event, we had a United States Championship #1 Contender’s Battle Royal. This was the 1st Battle Royal for Main Event and the 1st Battle Royal since the Diva’s #1 Contender’s Battle Royal prior to WWE TLC on December 16. This brought the Gimmick Match count to 184 overall and 122 for WWE. The Battle Royal was the Main Event debuts for several wrestlers, including Brodus Clay, Ted DiBiase, Epico, Primo, The Great Khali, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu, & The Usos. It was William Regal’s 1st match since November 17 when he lost to R-Truth on Saturday Morning Slam and Yoshi Tatsu’s 1st match since October 26 on Smackdown, when he lost to The Miz, though he has wrestled on NXT. It was Regal’s 6th loss giving him the most losses without a single win for any WWE Superstar. Main Event gave us a tag team re-match between Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd and 3MB’s Jinder Mahal & Drew McIntyre, as they wrestled on Superstars on December 12. Those 4 men wrestling twice is the 1st time since Kofi Kingston wrestled Antonio Cesaro, which then led to a tag match with R-Truth & Wade Barrett on December 5 that wrestlers competed in multiple matches on Main Event. The Battle Royal for Wade Barrett and the 2 matches for Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd were their 5th matches on Main Event, giving them the most matches for any wrestlers on Main Event.
On NXT, we had only 1 new match. They aired a special Best of 2012 Show, highlighting the best moments of the year. The replayed the following matches: Seth Rollins VS Jinder Mahal for the NXT Championship on August 29, Aiden English VS Bray Wyatt on July 11, and Big E. Langston VS Camacho on November 21. The new match was Kane VS Cody Rhodes, which was taped back in July, but since it was a never-before-seen match, it will be included here. Since they wrestled Monday on Raw, Kane VS Cody Rhodes became the 1st match to take place on Raw and then be re-matched on NXT in the same week.
On Superstars, for the 2nd week in a row they aired a Best of 2012 Special. This week they replayed Daniel Bryan & Kane VS The Prime Time Players in a #1 Contender’s Match from the September 10th Raw and John Cena VS CM Punk for the WWE Title from Raw 1000 on July 23. Since there were no new matches, neither match will be counted again in the records.
On Impact, I forgot to mention that last week Impact held their 250th Match, which was Jeff Hardy VS Austin Aries. Now, on to this week. It was Open Fight Night and Samoa Joe called out the masked member of The Aces & Eights who attacked him in the past. He looked like the same guy that has been competing for Aces & Eights in previous matches, so Aces & Eights Member #1 will get the loss. The Bro-Off between Robbie E, Jesse, & Robbie T will be not be counted as an official match, since there was no referee involved. It is considered along the same lines of a dance contest. Impact gave us the 2nd re-match between Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez and Bad Influence. They previously wrestled at Turning Point on November 11, and also wrestled in September, but not October. The main event match between Austin Aries & Bobby Roode ended in a No Contest, since referee Earl Hebner was taken out and the bell never rung. It was the 1st No Contest for TNA since September 20, when James Storm wrestled Bobby Roode and will be the final No Contest and final match for 2012 for TNA.
On Smackdown, Primo lost to Brodus Clay. This was Primo’s 21st loss without a win. The last time he won was with Epico against The Usos on Superstars on August 30. The 6-Man Tag Team Match with Team Hell No & Kofi Kingston VS Wade Barrett & Team Rhodes Scholars was Wade Barrett’s 1st win in 9 matches. He last won against Justin Gabriel on Main Event on November 22. Smackdown gave us our 195th Title Match of the year and 98th for WWE with the World Heavyweight Championship Match. This was The Big Show’s 1st defense since defeating Sheamus at WWE TLC on December 16. Smackdown gave us 2 November-December Re-Matches, as this was the 2nd time that The Miz VS Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder VS Antonio Cesaro took place. They previously wrestled on Main Event on November 21 and 28, respectively. The Usos VS The Prime Time Players was their 4th consecutive month wrestling. They have competed every month since September. They also wrestled at least once a month from March through July, but didn’t wrestle each other in January & February or August. The Big Show’s victory by Disqualification was the 2nd week in a row that Smackdown had a Disqualification and will be the final DQ and match for Smackdown for 2012.
On Saturday Morning Slam, once again, like last week, no new matches aired. It was another Best of 2012 Special, showing Daniel Bryan VS Tyson Kidd from October 20 and John Cena VS Heath Slater on December 8. Since neither match was new, they will not be counted again.
Now without further ado, here are the Win-Loss Records for this week, followed by the results of the week that was. Thanks again to Mike for posting it and all of you for reading it. Please send all feedback and comments to my Twitter Account (@hbkid718).
