NOTES FOR WEEK 51:
Welcome to Week 50 of Darren’s Win-Loss Records Column for the week of December 17– December 23, 2012. This week was special. We had the special Tribute to The Troops show on Wednesday as well as a Live Smackdown on Tuesday. And then, 2 Best of 2012 Shows with Superstars & Saturday Morning Slam. I hope all of you that celebrate have a Merry Christmas. Stay tuned in the next few weeks, as there will be 4 columns, the regular Week in Review, the December Month in Review, the Mid-Year Review looking back at the 2nd half of 2012, and then the full 2012 Year In Review. I hope you enjoy all of them. Now, to this week’s news & notes.
On Raw, I forgot to mention last week, but the AJ Lee VS Vickie Guerrero Match was Raw’s 350th Match of the year. This week’s Raw gave us the 5th Match between Kaitlyn & Eve Torres. They have wrestled once a month since August, becoming the only match to be rematched 5 months in a row. We also saw 3 November-December Re-Matches, as this was the 2nd time that Kofi Kingston VS Tensai & Brodus Clay VS JTG took place, as well as the 3rd time that The Great Khali & David Otunga wrestled each other. For the 2nd night in a row, we had a 6-Man Tag Team Match. In this match, we saw the debut of Tommy Dreamer, who joined Alberto Del Rio & The Miz in a win against 3MB. Ryback defeated Antonio Cesaro by Count Out, which was the 1st Count Out since last Friday’s Smackdown, when Cesaro defeated Sheamus. We also had the 1st Mixed Tag Team Match since July 16 on Raw, when AJ & Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz & Eve Torres. This Mixed Tag with John Cena & Vickie Guerrero against AJ Lee & Dolph Ziggler was the 1st time each team joined forces and was the 180th Gimmick Match of the year overall and 118th for WWE. It was also the 2nd week in a row that Raw ended with a Disqualification and the 1st time since September 7 that a Disqualification & Count Out happened on the same show.
On Smackdown, we had a special Live Tuesday episode. We saw another 6-Man Tag Team Match for the week, but this time in a November-December Re-Match, as this was the 2nd time that Team Hell No & Kofi Kingston wrestled The Prime Time Players & Wade Barrett. They wrestled on the November 30 episode of Smackdown. We also had 2 other rematches take place, as this was the 2nd straight night that Ryback VS Antonio Cesaro and Kaitlyn VS Eve took place, making them the 1st matches ever to be re-matched on a Raw and then a live Smackdown the next night. It was also the 6th time that Kaitlyn and Eve wrestled. Their match for the Diva’s Championship was the 190th Title Match overall and 96th for WWE. It was Eve’s 1st defense since TLC when she defeated Naomi. Also, since Kaitlyn won by Disqualification, it was the 2nd straight night that a Disqualification took place and was the 1st Diva’s Match to end by Disqualification. Another rematch took place as this was the 2nd time that John Cena & Sheamus took on The Big Show & Dolph Ziggler. They previously wrestled on Raw on December 3. This match also ended by Disqualification, making it the 2nd week in a row that 2 Disqualifications took place on a WWE show.
On Main Event, we had a Tag Team Title Match, bringing the total to 191 overall and 97 for WWE. This was Team Hell No’s 1st title defense since defending the belts against Johnny Curtis & Michael McGillicutty on NXT on November 28. Their match against Team Rhodes Scholars was the 4th time in 4 months that both teams wrestled each other. They competed on Smackdown on September 21, Hell in a Cell on October 28, and Main Event on November 14, becoming the 1st match to take place on Main Event and have a rematch on Main Event. The other match was Santino Marella & Zack Ryder VS The Prime Time Players. This was The Prime Time Players’ 2nd match on Main Event, Santino Marella’s 3rd match on the show, and Zack Ryder’s 4th match on the show. It was also the 1st time that there were only tag team matches on the show and was O’Neil & Young’s 1st win since Smackdown on November 6 when they beat Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio.
This week, WWE gave us their annual Tribute to The Troops. I will count this as a regualar show. We saw Ryback wrestle Alberto Del Rio for the 2nd time this month, as they faced off on Main Event, becoming the 1st and only match to take place on Main Event and Tribute to The Troops. The show also gave us the 3rd straight Disqualification as well as the 3rd night in a row that there was a 6-Man Tag Team Match. According to the spoilers, a Diva’s Match and an 8-Man Tag Team Match took place, but since neither match aired, they will not be counted here.
On NXT, we saw the in-ring debuts for Epico & Primo and The Big Show. Epico & Primo’s match against The Usos was the 2nd time they wrestled, since they wrestled on Superstars on November 1. The Handicap Match between Big E. Langston and Camacho & Aiden English was the 179th Gimmick Match overall and 119th for WWE. It was the 1st Gimmick Match for NXT since a Fatal 4-Way Match on November 7 and the 1st Handicap Match for WWE since Ryback won a match on Saturday Morning Slam on December 15. This match was the tag team debut of Camacho & Aiden English. NXT was the 1st match for Camacho, Big E. Langston, & Kassius Ohno, since November 21, Percy Watson’s 1st match since November 14, Aiden English’s 1st match since October 3 when he lost to Langston, and The Usos’ 1st match on NXT since October 31. It was also English’s 2nd Handicap Match on NXT since he & Francis Remi Dorian lost to Ryback on September 26.
On Superstars, we have nothing to note, since there was no new matches. Due to the WWE’s taping schedule, no matches were filmed for Superstars, so they aired a Best of Raw Special. This was the 1st time this year that there were no matches on the show, therefore there is nothing to add to the standings this week.
On Impact, we had Championship Thursday, giving us 3 Title Matches to add to the show, bringing the total to 194 Overall and 97 for TNA. The last time the titles were defended were on Impact on December 6 for the TV Title and Final Resolution on December 9 for the Knockout’s & World Titles. This was the 1st time that Kenny King & Rob Van Dam teamed up. The 3 title matches were all rematches, as Kurt Angle VS Devon took place at Turning Point on November 11, Mickie James VS Tara happened at Final Resolution, and Jeff Hardy VS Austin Aries happened on 2 previous occasions, at Bound For Glory at October 14 and Turning Point on November 11.
On Saturday Morning Slam, we saw a Best of 2012 Show, showing Justin Gabriel VS The Miz and Rey Mysterio VS Michael McGillicutty. They were not re-matches but repeats of their matches from when they first aired. Therefore, they won’t be counted again. Next week will be the same, therefore there will be no more fresh matches for Saturday Morning Slam in 2012.
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).
