August Week 3, Year 1

Raw
Match 1. R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler

Match 2. Sin Cara vs. Sid Vicious

Match 3. Kurt Angle vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kane
Angle ducked a clothesline and landed three consecutive German suplexes. Bryan and Kane traded leg sweeps. Angle countered a back suplex from Michaels. Michaels hit Kane with a springboard body splash as Bryan hit Angle with a snap DDT. Michaels hit Bryan with Sweet Chin Music and won.

Match 4. Mega Powers vs. Mark Henry and Roddy Piper
Hogan blocked a punch and hit Henry with the big boot. He then DDT'd Henry head-first on the apron. Piper took on Hogan for a minute, but tagged Henry back in. Hogan and Savage landed a double gut buster on Henry and won.

Main Event. Cody Rhodes vs. Dean Ambrose
Ambrose knocked Cody down with a right hand. They then countered each other's finishers. Cody was able to hit Cross Rhodes. Ambrose kicked out and busted Cody open with a DDT. Ambrose continued with a belly-to-back and an elbow drop to win.

Superstars
Match 1. Ricky Steamboat vs. Wade Barrett

Match 2. X-Pac vs. Curtis Axel
This is Pac's first match since debuting. Pac landed a double knee stomp and a hip toss. Axel hooked the legs of X-Pac and then hit a back breaker. He hit a headlock driver, but got a two count. He then hit Turning Heads to win.

Match 3. Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho

Match 4. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz
Miz went to clothesline Rey, but accidentally took out the ref. Rey had a counter for every one of Miz's moves. Mick Foley ran down and hit Miz with the double-arm DDT. Miz came back with the Skull Crushing Finale. Rey kicked out and rolled Miz up. Miz reversed it and got the win.

Main Event. Ted DiBiase and Billy Gunn vs. JBL and Road Dogg
I have no idea why they switched partners, but this could turn to a brawl sooner rather than later. Surprisingly, they went through with this match. JBL hit DiBiase with a superplex. A few minutes later, DiBiase hit JBL with the sit-out spine buster to win.

SmackDown
Match 1. Diesel vs. Big Show
Diesel broke out of a bear hug, but Show immediately caught him with a kick to the gut. Diesel was able to lift the big man up and hit the Jackknife. Show kicked out, but Diesel was doing everything possible to wear down the giant. Big Show hit the spear and knockout punch to win.

Match 2. Goldust vs. Mr. Perfect

Match 3. Kofi Kingston vs. Luke Harper

Match 4. Christian and RVD vs. Booker T and Sgt. Slaughter
Bray Wyatt and Mr. Perfect attacked RVD and Christian before the match. Christian hit Booker with the Killswitch. RVD missed the Five-Star Frog Splash on Slaughter, but came back with a kick to the head. Slaughter landed a piledriver and Booker hit a step-over heel kick for the win.

Main Event. Extreme Rules - The Rock vs. Randy Orton
Rock hit Orton with a couple of shoulder tackles and then left the ring. He went to take apart the announce table, but Orton stopped him. Rock landed a spine buster. Back in the ring, Orton ducked a punch and caught Rock with the RKO to win.

Recap: Sin Cara pulled off the upset. X-Pac lost his first official match. I thought about downloading G.I. Bro and teaming him with Slaughter, but couldn't find a good CAW.
