WWE All Stars: The Tour - SHOW 1 POSTED!

WWE All Stars announcer, Howard Finkel welcomes us to the first show of the 2011 WWE All Stars tour before introducing the first match of the evening.

Jack Swagger vs. Kofi Kingston
^{An exciting, Superstar vs. Superstar match to open up the show. The two were fairly even throughout. Swagger kicked out of an early Trouble in Paradise due to little damage previous to the move. Swagger took control after countering an SOS attempt from Kofi into a Belly to Belly Suplex. However, in the end, as Swagger was setting up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb Kofi manoeuvred himself into the SOS and nailed the move for the victory.}
Winner: Kofi Kingston

Kingston then celebrated his victory with the crowd.

Andre The Giant and Drew McIntyre vs. The Big Show and Roddy Piper
^{The first match of the tour with a mix of Superstars and Legends. This saw Giants and Scotsmen going at it. Drew McIntyre was the least experience of the group by a lot but still managed to keep up with the rest of them who were on top form. The finish of the match saw Show dumped Drew McIntyre to the outside, right at the feet of Roddy Piper who took little time locking in a Sleeper Hold. Big Show smirked but turned around straight into Andre the Giant who nailed Big Show with a huge head-butt to the skull for the three count.}
Winners: Andre The Giant and Drew McIntyre

Andre leaves alone without McIntyre who is still in the Sleeper Hold, officials have to pull Piper off.

CM Punk comes out to the ring for his match, before it begins he grabs a microphone. CM Punk praises whomever came up with the idea for this tour because it gives him the opportunity to prove that not only is he the best in the WWE but he is the greatest of all time and his first victim will be an example of what is to come. Hearing enough, Sgt. Slaughter’s music hits and he strolls down to the ring, getting in CM Punk’s face. Punk turns to slide his microphone out of the ring but as he come back he slaps Slaughter in the face.

CM Punk vs. Sgt. Slaughter
^{It didn’t take long for Slaughter to get back into the match though and in fact Slaughter dominated the first half of the match, taking Punk to school. Punk got back into the match as he rolled out of the cobra clutch and clocked Slaughter over the head with a huge kick. The finish of the match saw Punk hit his Running Bulldog and a Go To Sleep, but he did not cover. He decided, instead, to lock in the Anaconda Vice which forced Slaughter to tap out.}
Winner: CM Punk

After the match, CM Punk quickly grabbed the microphone just to say ‘I told you so, maggots’. Punk laughed after mocking Slaughter before leaving the ring

Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat
^{In my opinion this was the match of the night, it was very back and forth, quickly paced and full of stunning moves, twists and turns. Armdrags came from left, right and even the top rope when Savage went up for his elbow drop only for Steamboat to counter and nail an armdrag from the top which only garnered a two count. The finish of the match was very intense as Savage connected with an Atomic Drop and ascended the tope rope for an Elbow Drop, it connected but Steamboat kicked out. Steamboat then hit a dropkick and ascended to top rope himself but Savage dodged the crossbody. Steamboat hit the ground hard, Savage ran at him and straight into an armbar! Steamboat then climbed to the top once more for a crossbody to seal the win.}
Winner: Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat.

Savage and Steamboat shook hands after the match.

Intermission. During the Intermission it was announced that the Main Event for the next show in Phoenix, Arizona would be Drew McIntyre vs. Eddie Guerrero in a first round match.

John Morrison and Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect and The Miz
^{The dream team of John Morrison and Shawn Michaels took on the Perfectly Awesome duo, Mr. Perfect and the Miz in a great tag team match. Former tag team Champions, Miz and Morrison faced off to start what was to be a great technical and high risk match-up. The finish here saw John Morrison nail Mr. Perfect with the Moonlight Drive just as Miz came up behind Morrison with a low blow, sending Morrison to the mat. Michaels began tuning up the band as Mr. Perfect was getting up, Shawn aimed for Miz only for the ‘Awesome One’ to duck so Michaels kicked Hennig in the jaw instead for the three.}
Winners: John Morrison and Shawn Michaels.

After the match, Morrison was still on the outside as Michaels began celebrating on the turnbuckles. Suddenly, Miz leaped up and assaulted HBK with a Skull Crushing Finale followed by repeated stomps to the chest. Miz motioned for Hennig to join in but Mr. Perfect instead spun Miz around for a perfectplex, to the delight of the crowd. Perfect, Shawn and Morrison celebrated as Miz fled.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Rey Mysterio
^{This was a pretty interesting match as Rey joined the WWE about a year or two before Stone Cold left. The match featured two very different styles which actually meshed pretty decently. Stone Cold was able to use his strength advantages over the much smaller Mysterio as was Mysterio able to use his speed advantages over the admittedly slower Steve Austin. Austin stopped Mysterio in his tracks whilst attempting a dropkick with a Lou Thez press before connecting with a Mudhole Stomp in the corner. Mysterio slipped through Austin’s legs though and tripped him into the ropes for a 619. Steve stumbled backwards but as Mysterio leaped off the ropes he drove his foot into Mysterio’s gut before quickly planting him with the Stone Cold Stunner for the victory.}
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin

The two share a beer after the match.

John Cena and Edge vs. Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart
^{The first Superstars vs. Legends tag team match of the tour saw a couple of the top performers from each generation square off. Bret Hart and Edge provided a preview of what is to come as they are scheduled for a first round match in the Best of all time tournament. Ultimate Warrior and John Cena proved to be a tough match-up too. The ending in this one witnessed Cena connect with the Five-Knuckle Shuffle on Warrior but Warrior dodged the Attitude Adjustment attempted to connect with a flying shoulder block and then his signature splash. Edge broke up the cover however and it wasn’t long before Warrior was met with a spear. Edge turned straight into a sick Piledriver right before he was forced to tap out to Bret Hart’s Sharpshooter.}
Winners: Bret Hart and The Ultimate Warrior

Main Event
Best of All Time Tournament; First Round
The Rock vs. Randy Orton
^{After a long and entertaining night of All-Star matches it was time for the first match of the best of all time tournament. It really would be an upset to see either of these men crash at the first hurdle but unfortunately that was going to be the case. They gave it their all in a fantasy match of many. The conclusion of the match saw Randy reverse a clothesline to nail his signature backbreaker before taunting the RKO, The Rock slid out of the ring though and onto the apron where Orton seized him and dropped him with a vicious hang man DDT. Orton taunted another RKO but it was countered once more with a vicious spinebuster and then the People’s Elbow. Rock waited for Orton to get to his feet, anticipating his Rock Bottom but Orton had him scouted and nailed a sick RKO. Randy covered, one, two, but no, Rock had placed his foot on the bottom rope and the crowd were going wild. Orton was frustrated and stumbled over to the opposite corner, teasing the Punt kick. Orton ran at the Rock and swung his leg. However, Rock leaped up, grasped Orton and drilled him with the Rock Bottom! The referee counted to three and the match was over. Rock had advanced.}
Winner: The Rock

The Rock and Randy Orton shook hands after the match and willingly signed autographs and took pictures as the show came to a close.
