RAW's intro kicks off with the music playing, showing all the RAW Brand superstars in the video and then the pyro begins to explode all over the stage as RAW gets ready to start off with a big match.

Randy Orton vs Rob Van Dam

This match is pretty good for the opener of the night between Orton and RVD. The fans weren't too into it except for when RVD hit a few of his trademarks. The match ends up with RVD coming off the top rope hitting his Five Star Frog Splash! and making the cover on Orton..1...2....3! RVD gets up and celebrates. Soon after that Orton is up and as RVD Turns around he gets nailed by Orton's Version of a Diamond Cutter!

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!

Bischoff is backstage in his office where HHH is already standing there with the World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder as The Rock comes in and his eyes bug out with anger as he sees HHH. Bischoff cools the situtation a moment by speaking.

Bischoff: Rock calm down now. I called you both in here to tell you the Stipulation to your World Heavyweight Championship Match tonight.

Ya it's called I Win and You Lose Rock. It's very simple actully

Shut Up Hunter. The actual Stip is a Falls Count Anywhere Match! There must be a Winner! No DQ. No Countout. Anything goes!

HHH looks furious as if he's going to go after Bischoff when Rock comes up and..ROCK BOTTOM THROUGH BISCHOFF'S TABLE! This is the only point in the promo where the crowd gets really into it though. Rock takes the World Heavyweight Championship and holds it up in the air as we take a commercial break!

Running Off a Bastard

Test comes walking down to the ring with a smirk and once he's there he grabs a microphone from a ring announcer and begins to talk about Stacy Keibler and Steve Corino

Test: Everybody has been telling me lately. How could you do that to Stacy, Test? I Mean that was out of line! I admit it. I am, I was out of line. I am sorry for not throwing her bitch ass off the Stage entirely!

As he says this an infuriated Steve Corino comes running through the crowd and leaps over the Guard Barrier. Test sees him and runs off faster than anyone thought he could run but Corino follows in a fury! Test gets away though as Corino chases after him anyway.

Jay Lethal vs Shark Boy

(Hardcore Championship)

Jay Lethal comes out first to a pretty big pop from the crowd. Then Shark Boy's music hits and he comes out onto the stage with a Kendo Stick in hand and the Hardcore Championship around his waist. He comes down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. The crowd got into this match pretty good as Shark Boy started it off with the Kendo Stick. He used it as a Pole Vault off the Ramp into a running dropkick to hit Lethal with. Lethal had come to the outside to meet Shark Boy to receive that move. From here it wasn't very technical which is why Lethal had a real hard time with the match. Shark Boy kept it to a brawling Hardcore Style instead of letting it get into a Wrestling match. Sharky got Lethal into the ring later in the match with a trash can lid in hand. He ran into a corner at Lethal with it and Lethal hit a drop toe hold on Sharky. Sharky's face with the trash can lid landed HARD on the 2nd turnbuckle. Lethal covers Sharky after this ....1...2...kicSuckt by Sharky! Moments after this Randy Orton comes running down to the ring with a chair and swings it from the floor outside at Shark Boy who was being whipped to that side of the ring but Sharky reversed it to send Lethal into there. A HUGE Chair shot results as the smack of that shot resounds through the arena as Sharky hits a baseball slide dropkick on Orton to take him out of it. Sharky then picks Lethal up..SHARK ATTACK! and the cover!..1....2....3! Shark Boy Retains! Lethal holds his head in pain as Orton gets into the ring. Shark Boy and Randy Orton begin to brawl in the ring back and forth. Jay Lethal by now has gotten up and stops an Orton attempt at a punch. Lethal begins to help Sharky punch the hell out of Orton! Sharky and Lethal hit a big Double Spinebuster on Orton folding him up. Then Lethal hits the Lethal Injection to keep Orton down! Jay Lethal and Shark Boy both hold their arms up in the air as Lethal gives Sharky props.

Allura vs Lita

(Non-Title Match)

This is a typical Women's Match. Both women try very hard and Lita along with Allura put on a pretty solid match. Allura wins the match when the referee got knocked down. Lita played to the crowd after Allura had been thrown to the outside. Allura had gotten over quickly to the ring announcer's table taking the Ring Bell. Lita then leaned through the ring ropes to pick Allura up who was standing with her back to her and..ALLURA KNOCKS LITA OUT WITH THE RING BELL! Lita crumples in a heap in the ring as Allura scrambles into the ring. Dropping the ring bell. The referee crawls over as Allura covers Lita...1...2....3!! Allura gets a big win over the Women's Champ as RAW goes to commercial!

Black Gold vs The Dudley Boyz

(World Tag Team Championships)

This is a solid match to follow up a huge promo cut by Rock. The Dudleys come out to some boos and some cheers. People can't really decide if they want to hate the Dudleys or cheer them. Then Booker T and Goldust come out to Booker's entrance and do their Tag Team Pose on the stage with the World Tag Team Championships around their waists. The match is pretty solid but a very brawlfest type match. Mostly clotheslines and punches and kicks. D-Von hits his second rope neckbreaker for a long two count on Goldy. Later on Booker is going for his Leg Lariat on Bubba but Bubba ducks it and sinches in the Bubba Bomb! BAM! Bubba covers Booker..1....2....kicSuckt! D-Von gets into the ring as Bubba whips Booker to the ropes. Goldust gets into the ring and spears D-Von to stop the 3D! Booker hits his Leg Lariat on Bubba since the Flapjack part of the 3D was gone. Booker then picks Bubba up and kicks him in the gut. At this point Lance Storm and William Regal come running down to the ring as Booker hits his scissors kick on Bubba. Booker covers him..1....2....Booker from here gets pulled out of the ring by Lance and Regal. Both men begin to beat him down causing a DQ. This match breaks down into an all out brawl. The Difference Makers beat down Booker and throw him into the Steel Ring steps hard...Bubba Ray and D-Von..HIT A 3D ON GOLDUST ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!! The World Tag Team Champions have been decimated on the outside after their match!

Triple H vs The Rock

(World Heavyweight Championship, Falls Count Anywhere Match)

(Main Event)

First out is The Rock, his music hits and he comes strutting down to the ring as he normally does. He walks up the ring steps and raises his fist in the air once he climbs the outside of the turnbuckles. Then Rock steps into the ring and the entire time the crowd is very into this match due to it being The Rock vs Triple H! Then the lights go down as the first chords of "The Game" Hit and Triple H comes walking out onto the stage with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He does his normal entrance to a T. After his does his water spit on the apron of the ring, Triple H steps through the ropes and stomps over to the bottom left corner (if looking from the stage) and raises his arms in his normal pose with the World Heavyweight Title around his waist.

Triple H takes it off and the bell sounds, immediately Rocky attacks HHH with a passion. He nails Triple H with hard right hands with no give and then delivers a clothesline, knocking him to the outside of the ring. Rock climbs out of the ring after HHH whom is trying to get out of dodge as he can see Rock is on a roll. HHH gets to the steel ramp and begins backing up it, holding up his hands to try and convince Rock to not come after him. Rock runs at him but HHH ducks the clothesline attempt from the Rock, Rocky then turns around and HHH kicks him in the gut and drives him to the steel with a HUGE DDT!!! HHH tries to cover Rock quickly and steal the victory..1...2....KICSuckT! Rock manages to narrowly kick out of the pin. HHH picks Rock up and pounds on him up the ramp. Then when they get by the RAW set. HHH whips Rock at it but Rock reverses it and plows HHH headfirst into the set, a few lights spark off as he falls to his back.

Rock picks HHH up and walks backstage with him. We lose sight of them for a moment but soon see them again backstage with both men slugging it out back and forth. Triple H gains the advantage after a hard exchange and whips Rock into a wall hard. Rock makes a dent in the dry-wall and comes back at HHH with a hard right hand. Both men begin slugging it out now and finally Rock gets the advantage and grabs HHH, dragging him to a concession stand and PUTS TRIPLE H'S HEAD THROUGH THE GLASS POPCORN MACHINE!!! HHH is staggered and bleeding now as Rock pulls him out and throws him to the ground, covering him..1...2...kicSuckt by Triple H!

Rock picks him up and takes him back towards the arena. Rock delivers a couple side knees to HHH and then walks him up the stairs to the stage. Then they re-emerge on the stage with HHH fighting back on Rocky. After a punch to Rocky, staggers Rocky towards an edge of the stage. Rock moves back to HHH and a kick to the gut is delivered..HHH then tries to Pedigree Rock but Rocky fights so HHH can't hook his hands and Rocky gets out of it with a Back Body Drop to the Steel!!! Rocky waits for Triple H to get up and he does slowly. HHH gets up and turns around..ROCK BOTTOM TO THE STEEL!!! Rocky then covers HHH..1...2.....3!!!! NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! Rock gets up and comes down to the ring to celebrate as Lillian Garcia announces that the winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion..THE ROCK! Rock celebrates for a good ten minutes after the match but we only catch a minute of it before we go off the air with Rock the New Champion!

Before this show HHH got into a fight with Rock backstage and was basically downtalking him to everyone and was just absolutely doing the wrong thing. The reason being he had been informed that a divorce was wanted by Stephanie McMahon and he had become distraught. His actions then induced his World Heavyweight Title loss to Rock very suddenly on RAW which did hurt the Jericho storyline but I just switched it over to Rock to try and save it.

Brian Kendrick vs Nunzio

Kendrick and Nunzio have a great match when they wrestle each other technically in the ring. The cruiserweights in this match are solid. Kendrick's high flying style and Nunzio's mat wrestling technique. Nunzio dominates most of the match by grounding Kendrick. Nunzio works on the left arm of Kendrick until Kendrick hits his faceplant to knee on Nunzio. Kendrick went for his Sliced Bread #2 but Nunzio...THROWS KENDRICK TO THE OUTSIDE!

Matt Hardy Version 1.0/Sabu vs Los Guerreros

This match is somewhat awkward because Sabu and Mattitude don't seem to..get along. Los Guerreros control Sabu most of the match because Hardy is causing the referee to be distracted over and over. Finally late in the match Hardy gets the tag in and the match breaks down into a melee. Sabu clotheslines Chavo over the top rope and goes with him over the top. Eddie Guerrero had been on the mat and staggered to his feet and turned around..Kick to the gut..TWIST OF FATE! Hardy then covers Eddie..1...2.....3! Matt Hardy holds his fist up in the air in the Mattitude sign as his MF'ers come down to ringside and get into the ring. As Sabu rolls back into the ring. Matt Hardy gets a microphone.(Winners: Matt Hardy Version 1.0/Sabu)

So now it's time to decide Sabu. Are you going to become a Loyal Mattitude Follower or am I going to have to beat Mattitude into your thick skull?

Sabu snatches the microphone out of Hardy's hand angrily and talks down to him.

Sabu: Boy I ain't gonna join your little Mattitude group. You got three little pissants in it and the biggest one of them all is leading the group. I could squash you under my foot. So there's your damn answer.

Sabu shoves the Microphone back into the chest of Matt Hardy who seems naturally infuriated and he along with his MF'ers jump Sabu and beat him down until Mattitude finally leaves the ringside area as Smackdown takes a commercial break.

Kanyon in this match works with Goldberg how he can but Goldberg is limited in his wrestling knowledge so it's difficult for Kanyon to work much of a good match with him. Late in the match when Goldberg hits a spear which takes Kanyon and the referee out because the referee was out of position. Kane comes running down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope behind Goldberg. He spins Goldberg around..CHOKESLAM! This issue with Goldberg and Kane is intensifying as Kanyon gets up and hits his Flatliner on Goldberg. The referee wakes up to see Kanyon getting the cover on Goldberg..1...2...3!! After the match Kane slides into the ring and Chokeslams Kanyon to the mat! Then he picks Goldberg up...TOMBSTONE!

This is probably one of the more entertaining matches of the night but the crowd just wasn't into it for some reason. RVD and Christian put on a huge show for the crowd. It's not a match worth writing out completely because while they put on a big show the crowd wasn't into it. Christian ends up winning the match on a giant bump. RVD and Christian had set up two ladders under the IC Title. Christian and RVD both climbed the same side on their ladders. CHRISTIAN THEN HITS A HUGE REVERSE DDT OFF THE LADDERS ON RVD!!! This puts RVD down and he rolls out of the ring in pain. Christian climbs one of the ladders then and takes the Championship down and the bell sounds to declare Christian the winner!

I also wanted to continue to build Jericho/HHH/Austin/Rock but I cut two out and made it Jericho/Rock since Jericho won the #1 Contendership which was seen from a mile away. Christian and RVD had a ladder match which was a big booking mistake because nobody cared. Jericho though won another big match and begins getting ready for his Summerslam date in about 5-6 weeks.

London goes to the top hitting a picture perfect Moonsault onto Kidman's back and rolled him over for the cover!...1...2...3!

The Main Event is Announced

Backstage Shane O Mac is in his office and begins to make a major announcement regarding Vengence!

Shane: In about Two Weeks time there will be a Smackdown Brand only PPV. There have been no matches announced yet. This is about to change. There will be many matches announced on WWEVengence.com as well as one main one right here! The Main Event at Vengence will be Chris Benoit defending his WWE Championship against Kurt Angle and The Undertaker! Why you ask I don't include Brock Lesnar? That is because he has a match against Sean O'Haire. Many will ask why put Brock in a lower profile match. Simple. His head is too big for his britches. He isn't the only Main Eventer around here and he's been on a slide lately. So he isn't in the Main Event. Work your way back up Brock. Or fall off the ladder.

Smackdown then goes to commercial break immediately after Shane Finishes. The Triple Threat Main Event is announced for Vengence!!!

Scotty "Mister MF'er" Riggs vs Rey Mysterio

This is a very good match between two of the better Cruiserweights in the division. Scotty nearly hit his new finisher which looked to be a Fisherman's Buster but Mysterio managed to reverse out of it to his feet. Then dropkick Scotty into the ropes.."619"! The referee ends up getting taken out by Scotty rolling backwards after getting hit. As this happens Shannon Moore comes running down the ramp and pulls Mysterio off the ring apron before he can go for the "West Coast Pop" Moore then hits his own version of the "Twist of Fate" on Mysterio ONTO THE FLOOR! Moore then rolls Mysterio into the ring and Scotty covers him..1...2...3! Scotty steals a win! Shannon and Scotty celebrate in the ring after Scotty is announced as the winner. Mysterio is up after a moment and dropkicks both men..one foot into each man's back. Scotty and Shannon end up on the second rope...DOUBLE "619!" Mysterio gets a huge cheer from the crowd.

This show begins to set together Vengence though it's beginning to come together at least being officially booked a little late. But for the majority everyone could see what matches would happen at Vengence. Lesnar getting pushed down the card occured because I Felt he never should've been in the Main Event so quickly. I Wanted him to have some real quality feuds in the Upper Midcard before he goes back up after the WWE Title so he could be WAY over.

Sunday Night Heat

July 20, 2003

Eric Angle defeats Danny Doring with an Angle Slam which put Doring down and then Eric hit a Vertical Suplex after the match onto the turnbuckles in the corner which looked horrible for Doring!!! (67,63,71)

Chavo Guerrero defeats Batista cleanly with an impressive looking Brainbuster to gain the victory over him. After the match though. Chavo was celebrating on the second turnbuckle until Batista got under him and hit a Sit-Out Powerbomb after the match to decimate Chavo (73, 64, 83)

Ken Shamrock beats Spike Dudley possibly within an inch of his life. He wins the match with his Standing Belly to Belly Suplex putting Spike out of his misery...why do we keep Spike around..someone remind me (72, 65, 80)

Brian Kendrick pulls what could be considered an upset hitting his Sliced Bread #2 and gets the pinfall but soon after. Haas recovers enough to hit his Exploder Suplex on Kendrick to put him down. (76, 73, 79)

Cyclone wins over Kanyon clean after hitting his "Cyclone's Fury" (Tigerbomb) to get the win (85, 80, 90)

??? defeats Steve Blackman when all the fans find out..It's TAZZ!!!! Tazz dominates this matchup though Blackman gets a little offense in but Tazz finally locks in the Tazzmission for the submission victory!!! (69, 63, 76)

Randy Orton defeats Tommy Dreamer with the Overdrive clean. Nothing unusual about this match other than Shark Boy appearing on the ramp after the match holding the Hardcore Championship up at Orton. (72, 69, 76)

Edge defeats Johnny Stamboli with a spear and a pinfall but after the match the FBI whacks Edge. Palumbo gives Edge the Discus Punch and Alley Kick. As well as Nunzio hitting his armbreaker off the ropes on Edge.

Shark Boy retains the Hardcore Championship against X-Pac after hitting his Shark Attack onto a cookie sheet on X-Pac. Randy Orton comes out onto the stage after the match distracting Shark Boy. Long enough for Shark Boy to turn around into an X-Factor onto a Steel Chair which had been brought into the ring earlier in the match. Shark Boy looks to be knocked out in the ring! (70, 70, 71)

John Cena defeats Sabu when Matt Hardy Version 1.0 comes down with a chair when the referee is knocked out. Hardy gets into the ring and swings supposedly for Cena but lays Sabu out completely. Matt Hardy looks to be in shock so Cena helps him out of the ring and then picks Sabu up and hits the "F'u" on Sabu to put him down and the referee convienantly comes to just as Cena is pinning Sabu..1...2...3! (71, 70, 73)

Booker T defeats Shelton Benjamin with his Scissors Kick to put him down but before he can cover Shelton. Charlie Haas runs down to the ring and spears Booker from behind to get Shelton DQ'ed but save the pinfall loss. Goldust comes running down to the ring with his World Tag Title in hand. Haas is picking Booker up as Goldy gets to the ring. Goldy lays Charlie out from behind with the Championship and Heat ends with Booker T and Goldust stand high in the ring..Are they the better Tag Team Champions? Perhaps down the road. Maybe at Summerslam this might be answered! (81, 83, 77)

Question is will it be Rock that is champion when Summerslam comes around?!

Then the usual RAW intro and pyro begin with RAW coming on the air tonight starting off with a Tag Team Rumble!

Randy Orton/X-Pac vs Shark Boy/Tommy Dreamer

This was an ok match but the best part was the crowd's getting into it. X-Pac's poor work drug this match down again...why didn't we let NWA-TNA have this guy again? Anyhow this match is mostly Orton/Sharky/Dreamer with X-Pac getting a variety of cheap shots throughout. The end of the match comes when Dreamer clotheslines an interfering X-Pac over the top rope to the outside and then screams insanely and goes for a LEAPFROG THE TOP ROPE LEGDROP TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING ON X-PAC THAT CONNECTS!!!! In the ring through as the referee watches that. Orton hits a low blow on Sharky and hits the Overdrive on him putting him down and covering as the referee turns back around..1....2....3! Orton rolls out of the ring and helps X-Pac to his feet which he staggers around once he's on his feet. Orton yells to the ring at Dreamer and Sharky as Dreamer gets in the ring checking to see how Sharky is!

Jericho slams HHH's face into a couple different set of boxes and then whips him at a Steel Garage Door but HHH reverses sending Jericho in!

HHH drags Jericho deeper into the arena and spun him around once for momentum and put Jericho's head through one of the plaster-like walls. Then he pulls him out and PUTS HIM THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW! Jericho flies through it and lands on the carpet inside in pain. He's bleeding from his head and shoulder as HHH walks in. HHH picks Jericho up pulling him outside the room and then...PEDIGREE ON THE CEMENT! EMT's are yelled for immediately after this vile act. HHH laughs and walks off as EMT's tend to Jericho

(WWE Intercontinental Championship Match)

Christian came out first to his newer version of his music with the IC Strap over his shoulder. He got down to the ring with a microphone calling to the back if there was anyone with enough guts to try and take the Intercontinental Championship from him. To do it! Then Cyclone's Entrance hit as everything had a cast of glowing white light on it. Cyclone comes running to the ring after stancing on the stage like Hurricane does. This is a fast paced match. VERY Good but it's one of those nights for the Match Rating. The match gives Cyclone near falls on a couple High impact neckbreakers and a huge Tornado DDT Nearly won the belt for Cyclone. After that DDT Christian rolled out of the ring. He grabbed the IC Title. Cyclone followed him out and put a hand on Christian to spin him around. Christian clocks him in the face with the Intercontinental Championship as he does that and the referee is forced to call for the DQ...it looks like Christian did it intentionally to keep the belt!

So Jazz comes running out after this and destroys both Allura and Lita with the Bitch Slam. Then hits another one on each woman after the referee had called for a No Contest!

The lights come back up and Lesnar is standing behind O'Haire and the referee in the ring. Both men are facing away from them. Lesnar then clotheslines both men down! Lesnar picks O'Haire up...F5!..F5!...F5!!! Eddie then climbs to the top rope..FROG SPLASH! Eddie then covers O'Haire as Lesnar wakes the referee by shaking him..1...2.....3!

Comes running down to the ring with a Steel Chair in hand. The referee had been knocked down of course since this is the only way Guerrero could do this. Guerrero slid into the ring and reared back swinging the chair at Cena but Cena ducked it and decimated it over Edge's head! Cena then throws Eddie over the top rope. Cena then shakes the referee and covers Edge..1...2....KICSuckT! Cena looks pissed off and while Edge is still out of it..an "F'U!" Cena hooks Edge's leg and covers him..1...2...3! Cena then rolls out of the ring as Eddie gets in the ring and checks on Edge. He helps Edge to his feet and Edge in a fury..NAILS AN EDGEOCUTION ON EDDIE GUERRERO! Very solid match though all around as Smackdown takes it's final break of the night

Smackdown Presents WWE Vengence!!!

A slow intro movie begins to play..it is along the lines of showing each wrestler's hardships to get where they're at. You hear all the big names at the show including Matt Hardy Version 1.0, Edge, Lesnar, Angle, Benoit, Taker. The crowd really pops hard for this intro movie. Then we cut to the Vengence arena which has a Main Screen placed behind the Ramp/stage. with two smaller but still very large screen above the main one and to each side. Making a triangle. With silverish Metal in between all three to give it a Smackdown feel since the Blood gave Badd Blood a RAW feel. Then..INSANE amounts of pyro and fireworks begin going off! Then we cut into a rap from John Cena as it appears that tonight we'll lead off with John Cena vs Eddie Guerrero!

John Cena vs Eddie Guerrero

John Cena comes walking out onto the stage and tells the guy in the back to cut his beat. Then he goes down to the ring rhyming a phat beat. No way in hell am I going to try and put one down here so that I can look like an ass trying to mimic Cena who is actully very good at this. Sufficed to say he makes many references to Eddie's past with the Mullet and where the little Animal ran off to recently. Then Eddie Guerrero's music hits and he comes sauntering down to the ring and rolls into the ring.

From here Eddie Guerrero locks up with John Cena and proceeds to school him in some mat wrestling. Smacking him in the back of the head a couple times after putting Cena on his face. Embarrassing the young man. Cena charges at Guerrero and lands himself in a Drop Toe Hold to the mat hard which makes Cena look even more foolish. Cena plays it off very well. Cena takes control of the match a moment after this with some hard kicks into Eddie's gut which end up putting Eddie back into a corner of the ring. From here Cena proceeds to beat Eddie to a seated position with a series of hard right hands and kicks. Then Cena takes a walk around the kick...MAFIA KICK TO THE SKULL ON A PRONE EDDIE! The crowd pops to this shot as Cena pulls him out of the corner and covers him..1..2...kicSuckt by Eddie! Cena pulls Eddie to his feet...Small Cradle by Eddie!..1..2...kicSuckt by Cena! Cena continues to control Eddie from here. Cena picks Eddie up and hits a hard Vertical Suplex. Cena picks up Eddie after that and whips him to the ropes. Eddie avoids a clothesline from Cena but comes back into a HARD Powerslam from Cena..1..2...kicSuckt by Eddie on the cover. Cena messes up though a moment later. Whipping Eddie to the ropes and telegraphing the back body drop. Eddie uses a Sunset flip on Cena but Cena tries to sitdown on Eddie's shoulders. Eddie bridges out before that happens and runs to the ropes behind Cena..RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF CENA'S HEAD! Chavo Guerrero comes out onto the stage oooh'ing at that shot and can be heard cheering on Eddie. Eddie covers Cena after this shot..1..2..kicSuckt!

Eddie goes to the ring apron and hits a Leapfrog Senton Splash on Cena!!! Another long two count. Eddie climbs to the top rope after this and to avoid being Frog splashed. Cena got up and shoved the referee hard into the ropes. Making Eddie straddle the ropes and the referee being put down. Chavo seeing this runs down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope..HE THEN CLIMBS TO THE SECOND ROPE GRABBING EDDIE AND HITS A TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER WHAT THE HELL!!! Cena grabs Eddie and picks him up. He hits the "F'U" and covers him while Chavo gets the referee over to cover and gets out of the ring..1....2.....3!! A Miscarriage of justice has been committed! Chavo grabs a Steel Chair from ringside and slides back into the ring. Cena picks Eddie up and pushes him towards Chavo..CRACK a nasty chair shot by Chavo to lay out his Cousin Eddie! What is the meaning of this!

Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker

(WWE Championship, Triple Threat)

(Main Event)

I'll be quite honest on this I do not know what happened to my main event but half of it was gone when I went to view it but let's put it this way. It is Show/Angle/Lesnar from Vengence 2003 but take out Show and Lesnar and insert Taker and Benoit heh. The match finishes up when Kurt Angle hits his Super Angle Slam from the top to Benoit to gain the pinfall when Taker was to the outside. So Kurt Angle is your new WWE Champion and I apologize for the shortened Main event but I can't re-write it eight months later. Just not possible. So enjoy the rest of this show and more coming after this!

Tonight..is My DESTINY!

Chris Jericho is sitting backstage on a stool and talking very candidly about his chance to become the World Heavyweight Champion tonight! His tone is more serious and less charismatic than he usually is. More honest than being in character

Tonight I get the chance to win back that World Heavyweight Championship I won from Rock a couple years ago at Vengence. That was my high water period. I won the World Heavyweight and WWF Championship in the same night and become the Undisputed Champion. But I never got the respect I deserved from that. I didn't even get that new Undisputed Championship. They gave that to Hunter. He has that big nose stuck so far up the McMahon's ass that they just gave me a Four Month Title Hold. Not a Reign but a Hold. Hold onto the belts for Hunter until he could come back for his Triumphant Main Event victory.

Well now tonight I have a real chance. Vince is giving some of the guys that have been held down previously a chance to get to the top with our work while Hunter is going to have to work his way back up for the crap he pulled recently trying to not job the Title to Rock. Now tonight it will be Chris Jericho. Against The Rock. We both know what this Title means and It means that much more to me! I will win tonight if it kills me and nothing will stop me!

The Rock vs Chris Jericho

(World Heavyweight Championship, First Blood)

(Main Event)

"King of My World" hits by Saliva as Chris Jericho comes out onto the stage. He has a giant white bandage over his head..we can't see any blood peaking through but it's obvious he's at a giant disadvantage for tonight's main event. Jericho walks up the ringsteps and poses for the crowd. Then he gets into the ring and waits as The Rock's music hits and he comes walking down to the ring..the World Heavyweight Championship hanging from one hand as he walks down to the ring. Rock poses on the turnbuckles and then comes down off them. He steps into the ring and hands the Title over to Earl Hebner. Then Rock begins hitting his punches on Jericho immediately. Rock is obviously out to retain his title tonight! Jericho beatup from earlier gets taken down quickly by Rock. Rock's punches and kicks hard putting him down. Rock picks Jericho up and whips him to the ropes..Samoan Drop! Rock then rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair from ringside. Rock rolls back into the ring and looks to be ready to swing the chair at a prone Jericho.

Jericho though leaps up hitting a beautiful standing dropkick into the chair, knocking it back into the head of Rock! As this happens Triple H climbs through the crowd and over the barrier! He's behind Rock and Jericho..neither man sees them as Triple H gets into the ring with a sledgehammer in hand! Jericho turns RIGHT INTO A SLEDGEHAMMER SHOT TO THE HEAD! Jericho's bandage gets torn partially off and Jericho is bleeding heavily again from that shot. Although Hebner doesn't want to. He has to call for the bell and announce Rock as the winner of the match. Triple H picks Jericho up and hits his second pedigree of the night on Jericho and leaves the ring screaming at both Rock whom is standing with the World Heavyweight Championship in hand and Jericho that he's the REAL Champ and he'll get his title back real soon!

Sunday Night Heat

August 3, 2003

Batista defeats Nova handily in the opening matchup of the night with a Sit-Out Powerbomb and after Batista gets the pinfall. He nails another Sit-Out Powerbomb on Nova for good Measure! (69, 63, 75)

Cyclone defeats Kanyon after a very spirited and very GOOD match (A PPV Level Performance by both men!) Cyclone hit the "Cyclone Drop" (Tigerbomb) on Kanyon for the pin.1...2....3! After the match while Cyclone was celebrating and posing for the fans. Kanyon hit the Flatliner putting Cyclone out after the match! (85, 80, 90)

Christopher Daniels defeats Paul London when late in the match and this was a long match..about 10 minutes which is very long for Heat. Daniels hit a Snake-eyes on London onto an exposed turnbuckle and then rolled London up and got his feet on the second rope to get the pinfall!1....2...3!! Daniels rolls out of the ring but London wasn't done. He cuts Daniels off at the pace uniquely. He goes to the side of the ring which has the set/stage at and goes to the far post on the apron. He then runs at Daniels whom was coming around the corner..RUNNING SHOOTING STAR OFF THE APRON TO DANIELS! Both men continue to brawl from here. Hard to follow up Cyclone and Kanyon's match but these men tried and did pretty good! (73, 65, 81)

Jody Fleisch defeated Spike Dudley handily. Fleisch after hitting a low blow on Spike hit his Pheonix 720 DDT on Dudley which gets Fleisch the victory in his first WWE match like his counterpart Christopher Daniels did in the match before him! Good debuts for both men! (65, 59, 72)

Billy Kidman the returning MF'er whom has been off TV for a few weeks returns in a match with the beatup Brian Kendrick. Kidman gets the victory with the Kid Krusher as it seems WWE is giving the Shooting Star Press finisher to London! Kidman probably isn't happy with it either. Anyway Kidman got the victory on Kendrick. A Solid cruiserweight Match with all the normal Cruiser spots for both men. Nothing special that stood out though. (76, 69, 83)

Randy Orton defeats Danny Doring with the Overdrive but now he's calling his version of the Diamond Cutter the Overdrive. So Orton wins the match after Flair distracts the referee. Orton hit a chop block on Doring to take him down. Then Doring stands up limping and Orton hit the Overdrive and got the finish! (71, 68, 75)

Shark Boy vs John Cena

(Hardcore Championship)

John Cena comes out first on Heat to a pretty good heel pop as he comes down to the ring with his chain wrapped around his fist. He talks about how Shark Boy is gonna get his ass sent back to the ghetto tonight and that he will be the New Hardcore Champ. Then Sharky comes down to the ring and avoids a chain shot from Cena and dropkicks him over the top rope. A nice Hardcore Match ensues. Cena hits a couple hard shots with a chair but only getting two counts. Sharky hits his Shark Attack on the top ring step when the ring steps had been slammed into and Cena had tried to hit Sharky with them but failed. After that Shark Boy made the pin cover..1...2....3! Shark Boy retains and leaves with the Hardcore Title backing up the ramp so Cena can't come get him from behind but..Orton does get him from behind..spinning him around and OVERDRIVE ON THE STEEL RAMP! Shark Boy is left down and hurt! Orton still wants that Hardcore Title back obviously!

Jay Lethal vs Rey Mysterio

This match was a tremendous bout..Best match in Heat history. Two men that should be in the Main Event face off for that WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Lethal hit a Shining Wizard to get a two count on Mysterio. Mysterio a moment later hit a Flying Cross Body on Lethal for a long two count. Mysterio followed this up with a Springboard dropkick to Lethal for another long two count. Mysterio goes for some kind of piledriver or Powerbomb on Lethal but Lethal back body drops Mysterio out of it and then a hard dropkick to Mysterio from Lethal! Lethal is going to go for the Lethal Injection but from the crowd with a chair. Psicosis leaps over the barrier and climbs up onto the ring apron..CRACK! LETHAL FALLS BACKWARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE OH GOD! Psicosis is looking almost insensed as he gets into the ring and nails a HUGE Psycho Stunner on Rey Mysterio USING THE CHAIR ON HIS SHOULDER ON MYSTERIO! Oh my god Psicosis has lost his mind as Heat goes off the Air!

Allura vs Trish Stratus vs Lita

Then Lita comes out to her music and entrance with the Women's Title around her waist. She slides under the bottom rope and a typical women's match goes down. The finish winds up being when Trish goes for the chick kick on Lita and nails Allura. Lita then hits a standing Hurricarana on Trish and hooks the leg..1...2....3! Lita retains as she rolls out of the ring and holds the WWE Women's Title high in the air as she goes to the back..the women vacate quickly as the next segment begins quickly!

Segway Into the Shark Pond

First man out to the ring for the Hardcore Championship Match is Randy Orton walking. He comes down to the ring to his Evolution entrance that everyone has been seeing on RAW. Then he gets to the ring and pulls a table from under the ring and slides it under the bottom rope. Then a couple chairs and gets into the ring. Then Shark Boy's entrance comes on and he has the Hardcore Championship around his waist as he comes onto the stage with a microphone and a shiny new silverish mask!

Shark Boy: Hello? (Taps the Microphone) Is this thing on? Oh ok good. Hey Randy small change in plans. You think you have a Hardcore Title match with me tonight. You don't..you have a Stipulation match with me for the Hardcore Title. It's my Speciality you could say.

Shark Boy points at the tarped object aside the stage as it's pulled off to reveal a large Kiddy pool with seaweed and nasty looking water..several disgusting looking boots are in it as well as bobbing Eggs which smell..WAY Rotten..oh god!

It will be a Shark Pond Match! To win you have to throw your opponent into that!

Shark Boy points to the Pond and then runs down to the ring, unlatching the Hardcore Strap on the way down and their match ensues!

Shark Boy vs Randy Orton

(Hardcore Championship, Shark Pond Match)

Shark Boy slides into the ring and the bell sounds as the match kicks off. Orton takes control of Shark Boy very quickly with some strong punches and forearms. He whips Sharky to the ropes and goes for a back body drop which only gets him kicked in the chest. Sharky hits a Tornado DDT after this to put Orton down. Sharky then goes outside the ring and pulls a ladder out from under the ring. He slides it into the ring and Orton dropkicks the Ladder back into Sharky! Orton slides outside of the ring and sets the ladder up against the ring post by laying in the ring (Horizontally across so each end is hanging out of the ring) Orton looks like he has something planned for this as he runs at his end but..

Sharky jumps up and dropkicks his end and the other end swings around KNOCKING ORTON CLEAN DOWN AND OUT! The crowd pops at this move huge and is cheering Sharky as he sets the ladder up across. Hanging from the ring to the barricade. Sharky picks Orton up and sets him up for a Vertical Suplex onto the ladder..Orton hooks his leg around Sharky's and blocks it twice. The third time Orton punches Sharky low and swivels around so Sharky is now in the position Orton was in! Orton..VERTICAL SUPLEXES SHARK BOY ONTO THE LADDER AND HE BOUNCES OFF OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FACE! Sharky is holding his face and back in pain as Orton gets up slow. Orton grabs the ladder and carries it up the ramp and sets it up parallel to the Shark Pond off the edge of the stage. Sharky is stirring around ringside at this point. He grabs a trashcan lid from under the ring but plays possum and lays back down with his hand hidden under the apron of the ring!

Orton comes back down and grabs Sharky..CRACK! Orton catches a trash can lid to the head. Sharky grabs Orton and whips him towards the steel ring steps but Orton reverses it sending Sharky HARD into the steel steps dislodging them. Orton grabs the top steel steps and sets them up on the matting near the ramp. He then grabs Sharky and drags him over and is gonna try to body slam him onto the steps! Sharky slides out of the slam and then hits a beautifully executed bulldog on Orton DOWN ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! The crowd is really loving this match as Sharky now picks Orton up and walks him up the ramp and Orton climbs the side of the ladder which has his back to the Shark Pond. He forces Sharky up the other side by holding his mask around the ladder and yanking which makes Shark Boy go up to protect the mask. Orton slams Sharky's head onto the top of the ladder and poses for the crowd. In this time Sharky reaches over and slams Orton's head onto the ladder and..SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB BY SHARKY WHICH THROWS ORTON OFF THE LADDER AND STAGE AND DOWN INTO THE SHARK POND!!! The bell sounds as Orton gets up in pain..Sharky landed on the edge of the stage on his knees so he's in pain too. Orton coughs and sputters and rolls out of the Shark Pond...oh man he stinks. We go to commercial with Shark Boy being handed his Hardcore Championship in a great match to retain!

One of the very good looking ones too. Test covers Fleisch and pulls the tights..1..2....3! Immediately after the bell sounds. Stacy Keibler walks up to the ringside area through the crowd! Test sees her and starts hitting on her in a very sick way. One of those bad TV shows that you'd see a guy hitting on some chick. Corino comes from behind Test with a Glass Water Pitcher and..Stacy points behind Test..as Test turns around..SHATTER ACROSS TEST'S FACE! Stacy had gotten clear knowing what was coming and Test goes down his face busted open heavily! The crowd pops at what Corino did there.

This one is too as the end after a very technical match seeing Jericho hit most of his usual spots and Lethal hit some nasty looking DDT's on Jericho.

The crowd really enjoyed the match but overall it was not nearly as good a match as it should be. Rock controls Flair except for some chops he takes and some cheap shots. Triple H gets a tag from Flair and takes control on Rock until he hot tags to Austin and Austin deals out a Stunner to Flair but he's not the legal man! Austin gets up RIGHT INTO A PEDIGREE BY TRIPLE H!!!! Austin is laid out as Rock runs at Triple H. Trips ducks Rock and sends him flying over the top rope and covers Austin hooking the leg..1...2....3!

Once In a Lifetime Chance

Edge is backstage..it seems to be a pre-recorded interview with Michael Cole in actuality. Edge comments on several things.

Cole: Edge tonight on Smackdown you have probably your best chance ever to become the WWE Champion. What do you think your chances are to pull off what many would consider an Upset.

Edge: Well Michael. It's been my dream for as long as I can remember to be the WWE Champion. To be the man in this business. Tonight I get a real shot at becoming the man. Kurt Angle knows he can't beat me. I'm the one who made him bald in the first place. Inside his gut he fears me

Cole: Perhaps Edge but as of late. You haven't been too successful around here except until very recently. Over the last six months you've somewhat struggled. How can you turn that around all of the sudden to pull off the biggest victory of your life.

Simple Cole. Something that somebody told me once..Ruthless Aggression!

From here Edge gets up and takes his microphone off and walks out ending the interview. What did Edge mean by that last comment? Did he mean anything? We ask these questions of ourselves as we head to another commercial break!

He stalks his way to the ring with the lights out. Once Taker is in the ring and the match begins. It's all Taker as he dominates Rhyno..almost unfairly. Taker seems to be in a godly mode and even when Rhyno manages to hit The Gore on Taker. Taker sits up! Undertaker winds up going too far in the match though. Undertaker winds up bringing a chair into the ring and completely destroying Rhyno with it. The referee calls for the bell and Disqualifies The Undertaker..big mistake. Undertaker grabs the current referee which is Brian Hebner by the throat..CHOKESLAM FROM HELL ON THE REFEREE! Undertaker then leaves the ring as his music blares throughout the arena!

(Winner by Disqualification: Rhyno)

Charlie Haas vs Chris Benoit

Charlie Haas comes out first to the hard boo's from the crowd. Haas has one of those Tag Team Titles around his waist. Haas rolls into the ring and then Chris Benoit's music hits and the crowd cheers loudly for Benoit, obviously they didn't accept his half heel turn a month back. Benoit gets into the ring and both men engage in a giant battle. Benoit and Haas go back and forth with Suplexes and hard irish whips into the corner. Haas goes for a German Suplex late in the match and it's reversed by Benoit into one of his own. Then a second and a Third which is bridged into a pin..1...2...kicSuckt! Haas recovers and reverses another attempted German and instead kicks Benoit low without the referee seeing it and hits his Exploder Suplex! As this happens the Demonic Duo's music hits which is Taker's theme basically..the Ministry's. They come walking down to the ring and manage to distract Haas enough so that Benoit runs at Haas from behind after recovering. While Haas is distracted, He hits a bulldog off the ropes on Haas and sinches in the Crippler Crossface for the submission victory! After the match Snow and Blackman hit their Backbreaker/Legdrop off the top rope combo to put one half of the tag team Champions out!

Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon vs Psicosis and Nunzio

Nunzio comes out to the ring first to the FBI theme. Wearing his FBI trunks. We haven't seen much of the FBI as of late. Then Psicosis's entrance hits and the crowd pops louder in boos for him. Psicosis gets to the ring and talks with Nunzio quietly as Ultimo Dragon's music hits and fire begins blasting from the set as he comes out. Ultimo then comes down to the ring and waits outside. Then Mysterio's music hits and pyro goes off as Mysterio catapaults out of the stage. The Cruiserweight Title around his waist as he plays to the crowd. He walks down to the ring. Both Mysterio and Ultimo jump up onto the ring apron and then Leapfrog into the ring! Mysterio hitting a sitdown splash on Nunzio while Ultimo Dragon tries for a Hurricarana but instead..POWERBOMB on Ultimo!

Psicosis and Mysterio wind up starting the match in the ring as Nunzio and Ultimo roll out of the ring. Mysterio and Psicosis exchange some extremely exciting reversals back and forth. Psicosis takes control hitting some high impact vertical suplexes and a couple snap suplexes. Psicosis takes Mysterio over with a powerslam and covers him..1...2....kicSuckt by Mysterio. Psicosis picks Mysterio up and whips him to the ropes again going for a tilt a whirl Backbreaker but Mysterio lands on his feet and hits a front dropkick to Psicosis's face! Mysterio makes a hot tag to Ultimo after this and comes into the ring intercepting Nunzio immediately and hits his rotating reverse DDT on Nunzio which looks spectacular. Psicosis in the meantime had gotten up and kicks Mysterio stiffly in the face and then as Ultimo got up..Psicosis spun him around..PSYCHO STUNNER! Psicosis then covers the #1 contender!..1....2...3!! Psicosis rolls out of the ring and grabs the Cruiserweight Championship and waits for Ultimo to get back up..Mysterio leaps into the ring first..He tries to do a Leapfrog off the top rope into a move but Psicosis leaps into the air and clocks Mysterio in the head with the championship! Making Mysterio take a nasty bump to the mat. Psicosis throws the Cruiserweight Championship and leaves the ring with Nunzio following afterwards.

Kurt Angle vs Edge

(WWE Championship)

(Main Event)

Edge comes out first to a gigantic pop from the crowd. They're hoping to see a New WWE Champion tonight! Edge comes down to the ring after playing to the crowd and he slides under the bottom rope and then climbs one of the turnbuckles. Getting the crowd as pumped up as he is for this Title Match. Then "Medal" hits and Kurt Angle comes out onto the stage. Angle has the WWE Championship around his waist as he poses on the ramp while his pyro goes off. The entire crowd chanting a loud "You Suck" the entire time his music is playing. Finally Angle climbs up the ringsteps and gets into the ring. He unstraps the Title and hands it to the referee to hold up. Angle then rounds the ring, Edge doing the same thing as the bell sounds for the match to begin. The crowd lets up a roar as that bell sounds.

Angle and Edge lock up in the middle of the ring and Angle takes advantage picking Edge up and planting him on the mat. Angle uses his Amateur background to take advantage of Edge. Angle swivels over Edge and applies a front facelock submission. Edge gets to his feet. He's bent over though and Angle just drops him with a DDT since he was trying to break out of it with a suplex using his upper body strength. Angle covers Edge quickly trying to get this match over with quickly..1...kicSuckt. Edge isn't even going to give Angle a 2 count on that move. Far too early. Angle picks Edge up and begins slugging him with right hands backing Edge into a corner of the ring. Edge reverses it by throwing Angle into the corner after Angle had hit about five punches. Edge begins chopping Angle to the cheers of the crowd as well as the (WOO'S) Edge whips Angle across the ring but Angle manages to avoid Edge's attempt at a spear and pushes him into the ringpost! Edge ends up smacking legitimately into it because he flew into it and then out of the ring. Not just one of those fake sells of it! Angle goes outside the ring to retrieve Edge.

Angle picks Edge up and whips him VERY hard into the ring steps which sends the top part of them off the bottom. Angle then picks Edge up and ..Vertical Suplex to the matting on the floor!! Angle then picks Edge up and rolls him into the ring. Then gets onto the apron and seeing Edge..he climbs to the top rope..BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT BY ANGLE WITH NOBODY HOME! Angle holds his gut while Edge has time to recover. Edge favors his left arm that smacked the ringpost as he gets to his feet. He picks Angle up and whips him to the ropes. He ducks an attempted Angle clothesline into his Half Nelson Facebuster! Edge covers Angle..1...2..kicSuckt by Angle! Edge picks Angle up and whips him to the ropes but Angle reverses it sending Edge to the ropes. When Edge runs back into Angle..Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex by Angle! Angle covers Edge..1...2...kicSuckt by Edge!

Angle picks Edge up and gets behind him with a waistlock and..Big time German Suplex on Edge..and Another! Angle goes for a third one but Edge blocks it with his foot and rolls through it. Making Angle roll through as well into a pinning predictament!..1...2...kicSuckt! Angle nearly lost the Title right there! It was very close. Angle is first up and angry at Edge. Angle begins nailing those hard right hands and backs Edge into the ropes. Edge avoids an Angle clothesline and comes back off the ropes..SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR! Edge yells in pain as well..he used his left shoulder..(Silly Edge. Typical WWE..uses the injured shoulder cause he's a shmuck )

Edge finally recomposes himself and covers Angle..1...2...shoulder up by Angle! Edge picks Angle up and goes for his Edgeocution on Angle but Angle ducks his head out of it and chains an irish whip but holds onto it, pulling Edge back to him. Into an Angle Slam! but Edge manages to drop out the back of it..Edge-O-Matic by Edge! Angle sells it beautifully as he always does as Edge hooks both legs..1...2....KICSuckT! The crowd gasps with this one because they thought Edge might have it! Edge picks Angle up for the Edgeocution again and is able to partially lift Angle up but Angle manages to instead get out of it by planting himself harder and reverses out of it into an armbar..from there he rolls over Edge..INTO AN ANKLELOCK! Edge is in the hold for what must be two or three minutes..he made it to the ropes once but Angle pulled him back to the middle of the ring before Brock Lesnar comes running down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Angle lets go of the hold and tries to clothesline Lesnar but Lesnar ducks under the attempt. Angle spins around to a kick in the gut and..F5 F5! The referee calls for the bell and is forced to disqualify Edge for the actions of Lesnar! Edge gets up limping slightly and looks infuriated. Edge spins Lesnar around..EDGEOCUTION ON LESNAR! Edge just laid out Lesnar in a fury! Edge stands over both men as Smackdown goes off the air!

I Thought this was a really good show just based on the fact it had a legit WWE Title Match as the main event that would've gone twenty action packed minutes if timed probably. Lesnar's involvement was to save Edge from having to tap and having Edge be able to take out Lesnar too.

Sunday Night Heat

August 10, 2003

Little Announcement

Heat kicks off for the first time in a long time with something other than a matchup as "I'm Back" hits and Eric Bischoff comes walking out onto the stage with a microphone in hand and begins to speak about a situtation that arose over the weekend.

Bischoff: On Friday Night the RAW Brand held a house show in Kansas City in which Lita was defending her Women's Title against Ivory. Lita retained her title but also later it was found out she fractured her arm. This injury will sideline her for somewhere in the range of 6-10 weeks. From what the doctors told me. Including rehab time and Healing. So because of that

Bischoff walks over to where the curtains are and reaches behind it and pulls out the WWE Women's Championship and walks back to the middle of the stage with it.

Tonight the RAW Brand will present Three Women's Matches.

Allura vs Ivory

Jazz vs Molly Holly

Trish Stratus vs Victoria

The Two Women I feel prove themselves to be the most worthy contenders will fight tommorrow night on RAW for the now Vacant WWE Women's Championship. So good luck Ladies. You will most assuredly need it. Remember your here to impress me, Not these fans!

"I'm Back" hits as Eric Bischoff walks off the stage patting his chest like he's tapping his heart with the hand holding the microphone as this segment finishes up and the first match of the night begins!

Overall Rating: 77%

The F.B.I. (Stamboli/Palumbo) Defeats Rico and Rosey cleanly when Palumbo nails a Jungle Kick on Rico to knock him clean out and Stamboli gets the pin while Palumbo keeps Rosey from breaking the pinfall up. (70, 68, 73)

Allura defeats Ivory in a domination and after the match Allura hits the Alluranator twice more before leaving Ivory down and prone in the ring. Obviously Allura appealing to Bischoff to make her one of the two women in the Title match! (53, 49, 57)

Nunzio defeats Maven after Nunzio hits his Cross Arm Breaker bouncing off the ropes to nail it and pins Maven for a three count! After the match because Maven gave Nunzio a hard time in this match. Nunzio does a Whacking on Maven using a Steel Chair! (76, 72, 81)

Jazz Pins Molly Holly after hitting the Bitch Slam and then locks on an STF and holds it for two minutes after the match. Very good match from both women but Jazz just appeared to be dominant. The Former Women's Champ wants her Title back obviously! (74, 76, 72)

Paul London pins Batista after hitting the London's Calling off the top rope. After the match though is a different story as Batista hits a huge Sit-Out Powerbomb on the small Cruiserweight destroying him in the ring. None the less London got a huge win. (70, 61, 80)

Trish Stratus defeats Victoria with a Stratusfaction and after the match Victoria hits a Widow's Peak on Trish! Victoria making her own case for being in the Women's Title Match even though she lost to Trish! Maybe Victoria's ruthlessness will gain her a spot in the match! We will have to wait till tommorrow night to find out who will get a shot at the Title! (73, 77, 64)

Sabu pins Christopher Daniels when Matt Hardy Version 1.0 tries to nail Sabu while the referee isn't looking but Sabu sidesteps Matt's attempt on the outside and goes right into the ring pole. Then Sabu hits an Arabian Facebuster shortly thereafter for the win to end Heat! (75, 71, 79)

This Heat wasn't as big as some previous ones and I used it mostly to push the Hardy/Sabu storyline though again I did not portray Sabu at all like he should have been. Crucify me now for it.

Monday Night RAW

August 11, 2003

A video promo comes across the screen promoting first the Women's Championship match tonight on RAW with clips from Heat from Bischoff's announcement and the women's matches. Then we switch to a video promo highlighting all three men involved in the RAW Summerslam Main Event. The Rock vs Chris Jericho vs Triple H for the World Heavyweight Title. Then we cut to the normal "Union Underground" Intro to RAW and it ends with pyro exploding all over the stage and we start off immediately with our Tag Match!

Kane/RVD vs Shamrock/Goldberg

The Evolution music that is heard on RAW every week blares all throughout the arena. The video has only Orton, Flair and HHH. I guess they don't think Shamrock has Sex Appeal. Then Goldberg's music hits and the crowd boo's even louder for him as his pyro goes off on the set. Goldberg walks into it and breathes in some of the smoke. Then spews it out as the sparks die down and he walks to the ring with his pyro going off. Goldberg gets in the ring as RVD's music hits and his pyro explodes in the air making it look like it's RVD pointing to himself as he usually does. RVD comes down to the bottom of the ramp as Lillian is announcing his stats and finally it's Rob Van Dam and as she says it. RVD Points to himself and then Kane's current entrance hits as the pyro explodes on the stage and from the ringposts. Kane comes stalking down to the ring. Kane gets to the bottom of the ramp and both him and RVD slide into the ring. Goldberg stands his ground with Shamrock somewhat bailing out of the ring. It's impossible to intimidate that Goldberg!

RVD starts the match with Goldberg in the ring. Goldberg uses his power to dominate RVD in the early going. Eventully Shamrock is in the ring controlling RVD till RVD hits a step-over heel kick and makes a hot tag to Kane. Shamrock and Goldberg both go down from a variety of power moves and clotheslines from Kane. Finally RVD sweeps the legs out from under Goldberg hard and goes up top for a Five Star Frog Splash at the same time Kane grabs Shamrock by the throat and nails a HUGE Chokeslam! Kane hits the Chokeslam just as RVD comes off the top hitting the Five Star Frog Splash on Goldberg! Kane covers Shamrock..1...2....3! Kane gets up as both he and RVD are announced the winners. Solid match to kick off RAW with!

I'm Back Again!

Finally after Shamrock and Goldberg leave to the side of the ramp. "I'm Back" hits all throughout the arena as the fans boo Eric Bischoff the RAW GM mercilessly. He walks out onto the stage patting his chest to the fans with his hand that's holding the microphone. His other hand is holding the WWE Women's Championship over his shoulder. A Referee is with Bischoff and he hands the Women's Championship over to the referee whom takes it down to the ring. Eric then begins to talk on the stick which he's very talented at.

Bischoff: I Told you all tonight I would be selecting two of the very best from the Women's Division to compete for that Vacant Women's Championship. So I will tell you right now who will be fighting for it and why. Jazz is the first woman I selected for her incredible skills in the ring. Trish Stratus is the second woman I selected..for her Massive Attributes inside and Outside of the ring..If you know what I mean.

Bischoff laughs at his own joke and continues on with another announcement as well

Bischoff: Now i've had some complaints backstage and such about The World Champ being out of control. Triple H being out of control and Chris Jericho being out of control. Well that won't happen on Eric Bischoff's Show. Tonight and until their Summerslam match. Triple H, Nor Chris Jericho, Nor The Rock will be allowed to touch one another unless in a sanctioned match in that ring. If Triple H or Jericho do it. They'll be out of the Main Event and Suspended. If Rock does it. He will be Stripped of his Title..and not only Suspended. I'll FIRE His ass cause I personally don't like him. Now..let's get this Women's Title Match started

"I'm Back" hits once again as Bischoff walks backstage just before the Women's Title Match begins!

Trish Stratus vs Jazz

(WWE Women's Championship Match)

Trish comes out first to her Lil Kim entrance which gets the crowd going for this match. Trish comes down to the ring playing to the crowd and waits for Jazz in the ring stancing. Then Jazz comes out to the stage pointing at Trish. These two haven't liked each other since Jazz arrived in the WWE. Jazz stalks down to the ring but before Jazz gets into the ring she begins to laugh at Trish. Trish seems to become infuriated by Jazz laughing at her..From behind over the Barricade though Victoria slinks into the ring..WIDOWS PEAK FROM BEHIND! No not like this! Jazz then slides into the ring as Victoria flees. Jazz picks Trish up and nails the Bitch Slam on her and covers Trish..she has to be out...1...2...KICSuckT! Trish kicked out and Jazz can't believe it. Jazz quickly locks on the STF to a vulnerable Trish and after about 90 seconds. Trish can't take anymore and taps out! Jazz stands up and grabs her Women's Title and leaves without a word. What a Theft of the Women's Championship by Jazz! RAW Goes to commercial watching Trish down in the ring with the crowd in shock as to what just happened.

Randy Orton vs Jody Fleisch

Orton comes out first to the "Evolution" theme and walks down to the ring posing as he goes. The crowd boo's him heavily. Then Jody Fleisch's entrance kicks on and the crowd cheers a bit for him. Not much because he's fairly new to WWE TV but they've liked what they've seen so far. This match is pretty brief though since the first three segments of the show took up almost a half hour and there was alot more to get to. Orton and Fleisch put on a quick four minute match. The tide turns when Fleisch is distracting the referee as Shark Boy runs down the ring and knocks Orton down and out with the Hardcore Championship. Sharky then leaves the ring and Fleisch covered Orton..1...2...3! After the Match Sharky got back in the ring as Fleisch left. Sharky tried for another Shark Attack but Orton blocks it and hit the "O-Zone" (I Suppose this is what they're calling his Diamond Cutter thing) and leaves Shark Boy laying as we cut out of this to J.R. and The King to promote the next match but First..A Promo from Christian!

Christian Chats With His Peeps

We're backstage with the Coach about to conduct an interview with Christian but Christian shuts him up and tells him to let the "New People's Champion" Speak.

Christian: Now Coach we all know the Rock is the "Supposed" (Makes a little Quote movement with his fingers) People's Champion but tonight everyone will be introduced to the New People's Champion! It's C to the Hizzle Christian! See I am down with the peeps! My Peeps will be out there to cheer me tonight. They will see me retain this WWE Intercontinental Championship in the Greatest match of all time. Why will it be the greatest? Because Christian is going to be in it and Winning it!

We go to commercial in shock of how..either incredibly stupid Christian is trying to be "Hip" or laughing our asses off at Christian making an ass of himself.

Overall Rating: 81%

Jay Lethal vs Christian

(WWE Intercontinental Championship)

Christian comes out to a big reaction from the crowd but mostly boo's as he saunters down to the ring blowing kisses to his "Peeps" Christian rolls into the ring with his IC Strap around his waist. Then Jay Lethal comes out to "Crack Addict" By Limp Bizkit and the crowd immediately blows up for him as he comes down to the ring. This matchup is easily the best of the night but the crowd isn't as into it as they should be. Christian and Lethal put on a clinic of how to wrestle with Christian and Lethal reversing tons of moves and hitting some high impact DDT's and suplexes. The end comes very cheaply though. Christian was in trouble as Jay Lethal went to the top to try for the Lethal Injection. Christian rolled out of the ring and grabbed his IC Title and waved his hand at Jay saying no more. "The Peeps were Tired of Lethal on this night it seemed" Jay climbed down and slid out of the ring as Christian headed up the ramp. The referee had been counting Christian out but Christian turns around with a Home Run Shot with the IC Title. It knocks Lethal completely out as his head bounces off the steel ramp. The referee quickly Disqualifies Christian and rushes out to check on Jay Lethal as we take another break while we wait for help to come for Lethal!

Booker T vs HHH

ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! As we come back from commercial Triple H's entrance hits and he comes stalking down to the ring doing his usual entrance. HHH gets down to the ring and walks along the outside and climbs up onto the apron. Doing his impressive water spit (Gag). Then Booker T's entrance hits (Who here thinks he needs a new one?) and Booker comes down to the ring. Booker has his World Tag Title in hand as he comes to the ring and hands it to the referee after doing his Posing on the ramp for his pyro to go off and then they both hook up for a pretty competitive match! Booker hits a spinebuster on HHH at one point for a long two count. HHH hit his Facebuster and Running Knee in one sequence to get a two count. As well as hitting his Spinebuster for a two count. Booker late in the match hit the Book End for a long two count. Then went to the Top Rope for the Houston Hangover! Triple H motioned the referee close and like the stupid refs we have in WWE he does so. Triple H then shoves the referee very hard into the ropes making the ref bounce face first off them and making Booker straddle the top turnbuckle. As this happens Bubba Ray Dudley comes running down to the ring! Bubba climbs up top behind Booker and both men stand straight on the top rope..a Full Nelson by Bubba. All that can be heard by J.R. is this.

J.R: No Bubba Don't Do It!

But Bubba hits a GIGANTIC BUBBA BOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE! Which absolutely decimates Booker in the ring! Triple H doesn't need to but he picks Booker up and Pedigrees him for good measure and turns him over covering him..1....2...3! Triple H's music hits as he stands up and poses taunting the crowd. The Dudleys are trying to get the upper hand on the World Tag Team Champions and seem to have done so taking out Booker for Triple H!

Kanyon comes out first to his old theme from WCW and gets into the ring. Then Chris Jericho's "King Of My World" By Saliva hits and Jericho comes out onto the stage while the lights are out and his pyro goes off. Jericho comes down to the ring to the cheers from the crowd and steps into the ring.

The Rock vs Test

(World Heavyweight Championship)

(Main Event)

Test's entrance kicks in as he struts out onto the ramp cockily and begins hitting on all the women as he walks down to the ring. He laughs at some of the women calling them fat as they begin to scream at him. Test gets into the ring to await The Rock. Rock's music hits and he comes sauntering out onto the stage as he gets a huge response from the crowd. Rock does his pose on the top rope with the World Heavyweight Championship and then gets in the ring. He hands the belt over to Earl Hebner and gets in the face of Test. Test rears back going for a punch but Rock blocks it and begins nailing Test with his own punches. Rock goes for his spit punch (That predictably is reversed by Test)

Test manages to get the advantage after blocking Rock's punch, whipping The Great One to the ropes hitting a hard powerslam. He covers The Rock..1...2..kicSuckt! Test picks Rock up and whips him to the ropes again going for a Tilt a Whirl Slam and nailing it on Rock! Another pin attempt by Test..1...2...kicSuckt!

WWE Smackdown

August 14, 2003

Smackdown kicks off tonight with a look back at last week's Main Event with Kurt Angle defending his Championship against Edge but winding up retaining when Lesnar costs Edge his chance. So now tonight it will be Edge and Lesnar one on one! Smackdown's intro then kicks in and we start Smackdown this week with Team Angle in the Ring!

This is Taker's fault!

In the ring is Team Angle and Charlie Haas is talking on the stick to the crowd and the boys in the backstage area

Haas: There is nobody in the back that can deal with the Greatest Tag Team in History. Any team that wants a shot at us tonight..to prove their worth for these belts can come down and Try us!

It would've been predictable for the Demonic Duo to come down but instead..Al Snow's old Head Cheese music kicks in and Al Snow and Steve Blackman come back in their "Face" attire and attack Haas and Benjamin starting an improptu Tag Team Matchup

(Demonic Duo's Turn back to Face as Head Cheese went Poorly because it's not been long enough since the last turn..That Damn Undertaker)(Team Angle Lost Overness too)

Team Angle vs Head Cheese

Head Cheese dominated the match from start to finish except for one point where Haas and Benjamin looks to be ready to hit their German Suplex and Superkick combo but Steve Blackman avoided the Superkick by swiveling around and getting behind Haas and basically. Hitting Haas with that finisher! Al Snow came into the ring and knocked Benjamin out of it as Blackman held the bridge..1....2...3! Head Cheese gained a measure of respect from the fans even though they're still a little disbelieving on their Face turn!

After the match Taz locked the Tazmission back in and then hit a TAZPLEX smashing Maven to the mat hard and Taz leaves him there crumpled up. That's definately a bad man

Hopefully Sabu will still be able to come out tonight! Matt yells down at him as we take a break from Smackdown!

We come back from commercial with Psicosis's music blaring throughout the arena and Psicosis already in the ring. Then Ultimo Dragon's music hits and the flames come out of the set as Ultimo is seen on the set. Ultimo walks down to the ring and a very good match ensues.

Contract Signing for Summerslam

In the ring during the break a red carpet was setup covering the ring mat as well as a nice table and two chairs seated in the ring. Sabu's music hits and he comes down to the ring slowly. Still hurting from earlier. He gets into the ring carrying a clipboard with some kind of contract on it. Sabu begins to speak into the mic as he sits down on one side of the table.

Sabu: You want to handle this like Men between us Matt. Come on down to the ring and I will tell you how this will get settled!

OOOH YEAAA! is heard throughout the arena as Matt Hardy Version 1.0's entrance is heard and the mattfact for tonight is "Matt Hardy has Webbed Toes" Matt comes down to the ring alone with the WWE American Championship over his shoulder. He makes his Mattitude symbol across from Sabu as he places his Title onto the table and sits down across from him. Locking eyes dead with him as Sabu begins to talk.

What I propose is this Matt. Shane McMahon already approved this. We have a Match at Summerslam. If I win. I no longer have to be an MF'er and I would obviously become the WWE American Champion because it would be a WWE American Championship Match. If you win. My contract becomes the sole possession of Matt Hardy Version 1.0. If you chose you could terminate my contract at any point. Force me to do whatever. It's what i'm willing to risk to get out of this pathetic group you call the Future of the Business!

Matt got up infuriated by what Sabu said about Mattitude but Sabu beats Hardy to the punch but hitting him with a fist that has the Microphone in hand. Sabu rolls Hardy onto the Table and begins smashing the Microphone into his head and then..once Hardy is set and Sabu climbs to the top..ARABIAN FACEBUSTER THROUGH THE CONTRACT SIGNING TABLE! Sabu sending a Message to Matt Hardy! Sabu grabs Matt's hand and the pen and forces Matt to sign the contract and then smears his blood on the contract by wiping his head on it!

He seems focused on putting a hurting on Brock for ruining his chance to win the WWE Title last week. Edge gets in the ring as the lights go down and Lesnar's music hits. His entrance video begins playing as Lesnar stances on the stage and comes walking down to the ring. Lesnar leaps up onto the ring apron and pyro goes off from the four ringposts. Edge attacks Lesnar immediately though with hard right hands and whips Lesnar across the ring. Edge goes for a spear but Lesnar sidesteps Edge and Edge goes off the ropes on that side.

But Edge did a full flip bouncing off Lesnar's shoulders and running to the ring ropes..SPEAR BY EDGE! both men are down as Kurt Angle with his WWE Championship come walking down to the ring and Angle casually slides into the ring! Angle then waits for Lesnar to get up..ANGLE SLAM! Edge had stood up by now too and is infuriated that because of this Angle/Lesnar feud for two straight weeks he's lost matches. Edge kicks Angle in the gut as Angle gets up and HUGE EDGEOCUTION ON ANGLE! Edge takes the belt that Angle dropped during the Angle Slam and begins smashing it down on Angle's face till Angle is bloody and messed up.

Steve Corino vs Test

Test is out to the ring furious and wanting a piece of Corino badly. Obviously this isn't where Test wants to be on the card either because he was in the Main Event for the World Title last week and this week he's the opener with Corino. Test grabs a mic and screams at Corino blaming him for Test's fall from potential greatness and is going to beat his greatness out of Corino RIGHT NOW! Then Steve Corino comes out onto the stage and he's yelling at Stacy to stay in the back. Corino then comes running down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.

Corino avoids a quick attempt by Test at a huge Big Boot. Corino hits a neckbreaker off of Test's miss and covers him..1...2.kicSuckt by Test! Corino picks Test up and begins nailing hard forearms to Test's face over and over. Corino whips Test across the ring and Test slides out of the ring and grabs a Steel Chair.

Where Test knocks himself silly with the chair off the top rope. Corino then nails the Old School Expulsion and covers Test..1...2...3!! After the match though while Corino celebrates.

The Truth

Chris Jericho is backstage with The Coach and conducting a serious interview and it seems very geniune. Not much character.

Coach: Chris in just thirteen days you get your opportunity at Summerslam to take on The Rock and Triple H in a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. How do you think your chances fair against two of the very best?

Jericho: Well Coach it's not going to be easy. I might tell you when i'm out in front of those fans that I have no doubt in my mind but i'd be lying to you. They are two of the very best in this business. Despite any differences between me and those two guys. They are very good wrestlers and will be very hard to beat.

Coach: What was your reaction when The Rock won the Title from Triple H?

Jericho: Tons of doubts raced through my minds. Was I going to get screwed out of my Title shot? Who was I going to have to get through to get that Title shot. Alot of people never counted me as a legitimate Champion a couple years ago when I won the Title at Vengence 2001 and held it till Wrestlemania 18. It was a shame really because as soon as I lost the belt to Hunter. I got pushed back down to the middle of the roster. As if having a fourth month reign as Undisputed Champion wasn't even worth anyone's applause.

Coach: True Chris but you also retained your Title in those defenses you had often with help of some kind. Interferences or cheap tactics

Jericho: Coach I would do anything it takes to become Champion and I was doing anything it took to Stay Champion. In 13 Days at Summerslam..I Guarentee you. I will leave Summerslam as the NEW World Heavyweight Champion.

Jericho then takes off the microphone he had on and leaves after this as we take a commercial break.

(Non-Title Main Event)

This match is another of your matches between these two. Neither pulls out all the stops nor is it anything different from the matches they put on later in their careers against each other. Austin and Rock hit their punches and kicks but for the most part only go for their trademarks and finishers. The Match ends when Austin elbows his way out of the Rock Bottom and hits a Stone Cold Stunner on Rock! Austin is celebrating in the ring after the match when Rock gets up and Austin comes off one of the turnbuckles..RIGHT INTO A ROCK BOTTOM! Rock then gives Austin the People's Elbow for good measure as we leave RAW with The Rock standing tall again but Rock can't continue at this pace and be 100% especially heading into Summerslam!
