Fatal Four Way WWE Tag Team Championship #37
Festus hits the flying biscuit on Ryder and takes out Miz and Morrison. Jesse goes to the top but Ryder steals the pin on Jesse.Winners & new WWE Tag Team Champions – Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder
UNIONDALE, N.Y. – After spending months in Edge’s shadow, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder finally made a name for themselves – and they did it in big fashion by winning the WWE Tag Team Championship in their own hometown of Long Island, NY.
Going into the WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal Four Way, the now-former champions, John Morrison & The Miz, had done a lot of talking in their weekly WWE.com show, “The Dirt Sheet.” (Watch) The duo claimed they had no competition for their gold, and poked fun at just about anyone and everyone in WWE. But on this night, words were not enough to stop Hawkins & Ryder as the team claimed gold when Hawkins pinned Jesse.
Taking out the former champions was challenge enough for Hawkins & Ryder, but they also had to worry about six additional Superstars who were hungry for gold.
Jesse and Festus have been making great strides on SmackDown, with the corn-fed colossus Festus manhandling many an opponent. Despite a valiant effort, they could not find a way to win on this night.
And finally, the Belfast brawler Finlay & Hornswoggle had been at odds with The Miz & Morrison for weeks, often the butt of their “Dirt Sheet” jokes. Although they got in some good shots of their own tonight, they could not capitalize at the right moment.
With Hawkins & Ryder’s victory, championship gold is once again brought home to “The Family.”
WWE News: Backstage Reaction To Tony Atlas As Mark Henry’s Manager, Big Daddy V Scratched, JBL’s Drink

– Some people within the company are scratching their heads over WWE’s decision to bring Tony Atlas in as the manager/associate of ECW Champion Mark Henry. reports prowrestling.NET. The move came as a bit of a surprise to some. Two years ago, WWE wanted to bring Atlas in to serve as an on-air coach/mentor for the rising Bobby Lashley, but officials quickly scrapped the idea after receiving negative reports regarding him from other people within the company.
It is believed that Vince McMahon made the decision to bring in the WWE Hall of Famer. One source said, “Vince has always loved Tony.” The source also recalled some bizarre backstage behavior involving Atlas in the past. The source noted that one time, Atlas hid backstage because he was startled by the pyro that went off just before he was supposed to join the other members of his WWE Hall of Fame class onstage at WrestleMania 22. Atlas was so rattled he had to be calmed down and then talked into going onstage with the the rest of the Hall of Fame members.
No word yet on how long Atlas’ partnership with WWE will last, but multiple people within the company aren’t too optimistic. Many are predicting that it won’t last long regardless of what they have planned for him.
– Just yesterday, the official website of the Time Warner Cable Arena, the site of next week’s SmackDown/ECW taping in Charlotte, N.C., listed Big Daddy V as one of the stars scheduled to appear. However, his name has since been pulled. The site also confirmed the report of Ric Flair giving his farewell speech to his hometown fans.
– JBL’s company Layfield Energy has inked a deal placing the “Mamajuana Energy” drink product on the shelves of 500 MAPCO Express, Inc. stores, reports PrimeNewswire. The stores are generally located in the southeast.
WWE House Show Results from Pensacola, Florida 7/6/08

The Pensacola area is the home of LordsofPain.net, for those who didn’t know. So of course I went to the show with a couple of friends. My notes from memory are as follows:
Teddy Long opened the show with a run down of the card.
Scott Armstrong and Micky Jay were the referees.
Eve Torres gave away 4 front row tickets to a 5 year old boy and his family for answering a trivia question correctly. They had nosebleeds previously.
Justin Roberts was the ring announcer.
Mr. Kennedy d. Shelton Bejamin via mic check. Before the match Kennedy’s mic never lowered from the ceiling so he had to get Justin Roberts’ mic. After the match Kennedy gave Roberts some announcing skills tips.
Evan Bourne d. Mike Knoxx.
The Miz & John Morrison d. Jesse & Festus. Festus had his head bandaged up selling the chair shot he received on Smackdown.
Matt Hardy d. MPV and Umaga in a 3 way match. Of course Matt was way over with the crowd. During the match MPV and Hardy took turns faking injuries so Umaga would leave the other alone.
Maria & Cherry d. Natalya & Victoria. During the entrances Victoria tried to jump up on the turnbuckle and didn’t make it. She busted her ass. Not sure if it was planned or not but it got a ton of laughs and “You F’ed up!”
The Great Khali d. Ron Killings.
The Big Show & Finlay w/ Hornswoggle d. Mark Henry & Chavo Guerrero w/ Bam Neely. Show pinned Henry after a chokeslam. After the match Hornswaggle put his green hat on Big Show and he and Finlay got Show to do the Irish dance with them including the jump and clack your heels bit. That was amusing.
Show started at 7pm and was over by 9. Seemed rush, like everybody was just going through the motions. It would be a stretch to say there was more than 3,000 people there.
Biggest Pops:
Matt Hardy
Big Show
Finlay & Hornswoggle
Khali
Biggest Heat:
Miz & Morrison
Chavo
Mark Henry
MVP
