5Wrestling.com News and Notes!

Several notes coming from RAW last night as well as WWE moves.

Everyone was pleased backstage with the re-signing and debut of the Big Show. It wasn't pre-planned it was a thing where they wanted a big man and Show was not signed with anyone. So WWE picked up the Former WWE Champion and signed him to a one year contract.

Also out of RAW last night. Shark Boy late in his match..though you couldn't tell it but he tore his Bicep Muscle in his arm and will be out seven months! This is why there is a 10 Man Hardcore Challenge at Backlash and not a Shark Boy title defense.

Everyone is high on the Backlash Card as it's felt the only let down may be the Hardcore Match and that's even acceptable due to the Shark Boy injury.

And the other major bit of news is that "Wildcat" Chris Harris has apparently been signed to a 1 Year, $160,000 Contract with WWE!!! TNA could not match and the first shot in the TNA/WWE War has apparently begun!!

WWE Smackdown

April 22, 2004

We do the usual intro video and music for the introduction to Smackdown. Then once it's finished we get some usual pyro as well to start the show..then it really begins when "Passing You By" Hits and Randy Orton comes walking out from the back with the WWE Title around his waist..doing his poses as he comes to the ring and taunts the crowd on his way down. Then once Randy is in the ring he grabs a microphone and begins to talk on the stick to heavy heat from the crowd!

Orton: Alright you people need to shut up because the Champ has something to say!

The crowd boos heavily after Orton says this and he takes a moment till the crowd quiets down and then he begins to talk again

Orton: Now last week Rhyno stole a victory from The Game to give Edge his Guarenteed Title Shot at Judgement Day and...a Stipulation of his choosing...

The crowd popped big time for this and cheered heavily but Orton cut them off

Orton: DONT YOU PEOPLE REALIZE!!!? It doesn't matter if Edge has a Title Shot...or if he can pick a Stipulation. Don't you all know...I'm the Legend Killer? I Kill Careers. And let me tell you Edge that if not before Judgement Day...on that night. Your career will end.

This is the point where Edge's music hits and smoke fills the entryway and Edge bursts through the smoke making a B-Line for the ring. Orton throws down the microphone and gets ready to fight..Edge doesn't see HHH, Shamrock and Storm come running out right behind him. Edge only gets a couple shots in on Orton when he gets to the ring before a 4 on 1 beatdown ensues! Edge winds up the victim of a Nasty Belly to Belly, a Superkick..a Pedigree and a RKO! Before being left lying in the ring, a bit of blood coming from his lip as the crowd boos the Living Legends out of the building!

Christopher Daniels vs Brian "Spanky" Kendrick

WWE European Title Tourny Finals, Title Match

Spanky is the first to the ring and the crowd reacts big time to him. The crowd loves his unorthodox offense and technique. Once Spanky is in the ring...Christopher Daniels music hits and he comes walking out from the back with his preacher garb on. He makes his way to the ring and derobes. He's wearing plain red tights as usual underneath. Daniels and Spanky go back and forth for almost 10 minutes in this European Title Match. It is a tremendous match that goes back and forth with several near falls. Spanky hits his odd faceplant to knee for a near three count and Daniels hits a double arm implant DDT For a long two count. Daniels goes for the Last Rites late in the match but Kendrick jumps as hard as he can with it and goes all the way over and ends up on Daniels' shoulders in a Hurricarana position and Spanky pulls him over in a Hurricarana Pin!..1...2....3!!! SPANKY WINS THE EUROPEAN TITLE!!! Spanky gets up and has a look of shock on his face that he won..the look is erased quickly as an angry Daniels whom got up about the same time..clocks him with a nasty lariat. Then Daniels hits a Last Rites on Spanky. Daniels then takes the European Title and leaves with it..even though Spanky is the rightful owner of that title now! We go to commercial break with the sight of Daniels leaving with the Title

Kane/Matt Stryker vs The Hardy Boyz

Jeff and Matt Hardy are first out...they both come out to Matt Hardy's Entrance which has the Matt Fact of "Matt Hardy has always had more skill picking up women than his brother!" Then they both get to the ring and Matt Stryker's entrance which is "Last Resort" By Papa Roach hits and he comes walking from the back down the aisle. He waits though and then Kane's pyro hits and he comes stalking out from the back and then he sees Hardy and..makes a running dash for the ring. Matt tells Jeff to palancha them and Jeff runs at them and jumps over the top rope at Kane. Kane catches him and sets him to his feet..THEN CHOKESLAMS HIM TO HELL ON THE ENTRYWAY!!! Kane then eyeballs Matt and moves to the ring, slides inside and Hardy freaks out and flees through the crowd. Kane with his scarred, sinched face..at least on the left side..howls and runs after him through the crowd. This leaves Matt Stryker to pick Jeff Hardy up and slide him into the ring..then hits a Stryker Driver and pins Jeff..1..2...3. This doesn't end it though because as Stryker does this Shannon Moore and Billy Kidman come running from the back and slide into the ring and Stryker ends up getting beat down three on one. Both men wind up holding Stryker down so a hurt Hardy can go to the top rope and hit a Swanton Bomb. Kidman then hits his Shooting Star Press and Moore hits a Flipping Legdrop off the top rope. Stryker is left lying and we go backstage where Matt Hardy leaps into a waiting car and it peels off as Kane comes running up from behind and just misses them. Kane snarls and then stalks back into the arena..

AJ Styles is out first and then comes Asai the Champion. This match is not a long one because about half way in. Brock Lesnar comes making his way from the back, down to the ring. Lesnar climbs right into the ring and inside out clotheslines AJ Styles..which causes a DQ to wind up giving Styles the win though not the Title. Lesnar then proceeds to hit a Triple Powerbomb on Styles and then finishes him with a vicious F5. Lesnar's music then hits as he stands over Styles laughing!

We go backstage to the Smackdown General Manager's office where Shane McMahon is talking with Edge about something, Edge is holding his head in pain after the attack earlier

Shane: Edge, I Understand your frustration with the Living Legends and their unfair 4 on 1 attacks on you. So tonight to get a bit of redemption I will have you be the Special Guest Referee in the Rhyno vs Randy Orton, non title match. The Living Legends are banned from ringside so it will be one on one there and you will be the man in charge of that match!

We head to commercial break after finding out of this announcement!

Triple H vs Chris Benoit

This match was back and forth and mainly just for competition sake. Benoit showcased alot more heel in this match. He cheated heavily, used alot of chokes, a poke to the eye and raking the eyes. As well as using the ropes for leverage and pinning with feet on the ropes. Benoit though made a mistake late in the match, missing a clothesline and he turned around into a kick, followed by a Pedigree and a pinfall! HHH wins the match and it was a pretty good match but the crowd wasn't into it!

Christian vs Sean O'Haire

After a segment showing some of the things that happened on this past week's RAW. Then Christian's music hits and he comes strutting out from the back and down to the ring to a chorus of boo's from the crowd. Once in the ring Sean O'Haire's music hits and he makes his way from the back. These two men go at it again but it's only about four minutes of a match as at that point. Christian hits an unseen low blow, uppercut style and rolls O'Haire up, getting his feet on the ropes as well..1...2....3! Christian steals a victory over O'Haire and he rolls out of the ring and celebrates down the aisle until we go backstage for a second before the commercial!

Rhyno vs Randy Orton (Edge)

Special Guest Referee Match

The first man out is Edge..his smoke fills the entryway as his music and video play. Then he bursts through the smoke and plays to the crowd to get them pumped up! Edge then comes down to the ring..he has a referee shirt on but his blue wrestling pants with Edge on the outer thigh of them. Edge then waits in the ring as Rhyno's music hits and he comes down to the ring to a nice response from the crowd. Rhyno gets into the ring...Then he and Edge embrace as friends and Rhyno prepares for Orton. Then "Passing You By" hits and Randy Orton makes his way out from the back with the WWE Title around his waist. Orton makes his way down to the ring and climbs inside of the ring. Orton then begrudgingly and jawjacking to Edge while he does it...hands over the WWE Title to Edge. Edge grins big and then hands the title to the timekeeper outside the ring.

The match begins and it goes for a long time..about fifteen minutes of back and forth action. Rhyno hitting a huge spinebuster and a Gutwrench powerbomb for long two counts. Orton hitting his Crucifix Neckbreaker and Nasty Backbreaker for long two counts. Edge counts fairly throughout the match but after the neckbreaker kickout by Rhyno. Orton gets up in Edge's face and yells that it was three. Edge puts up two fingers and grins as he says "Two". Orton then slaps Edge across the face as hard as he can. Edge staggers back a couple steps and then bolts back towards Orton with a HUGE SPEAR!!! Edge then yells down at Orton as Rhyno gets up and goes to a neutral corner...then as Orton gets up..Rhyno runs at him and GORE GORE GORE!!! Orton goes down from the Gore and Rhyno covers him. Edge gives a normal count..1...2....3! Rhyno gets the victory with Edge's slight assistance. Both men raise their arms in celebration of the victory as Orton retreats with his WWE Title down the aisle...yelling at Edge and Rhyno in the ring that they would get it next week!

What the hell have you done to your roster? You have ruined established stars (Brock, Rock) and have ruined their overness, I hope this wasn't planned. Good diary though, amazing how you managed to keep it up for so long though.

[Kapalua2483]

Quite honestly. I don't always go for established stars as much. And I've built new guys to match or higher than their overness. I don't ever have much for Rocky and I don't Superpush Brock so his overness declined a bit. hehe I also try to keep everybody at the Upper Mid/Main Event in the same realm around 85-95 anyway so they are interchangable pieces. It assists in making new and interesting Feuds.

[Kapalua2483]

"Boiler" By Limp Bizkit begins to play as we begin to see the opening entrance video for Backlash!...

A Voice overtone begins talking about Redemption...retribution...Victory. Some men whom stole what should have been another's..as that is said John Cena's image comes up and scenes from Wrestlemania XX come up...Then it continues to speaking of an opportunity of a lifetime and Raven's images come up with his victory over Eddie Guerrero at Mania XX!

Then we get darker and more vial with the video..it's all in dark black and white as we show the issues between "Stone Cold" And Kurt Angle. Scenes from back during the InVasion years ago. As well as up until the last few weeks. Then we finish with the voice that normally does these for WWE saying "And tonight we all will feel the Backlash of their actions!

WWE RAW Proudly Presents...BACKLASH!

Pyro begins exploding as the camera zooms into the Backlash set. It's pretty much the same set except this year the Hooks are sticking up out of the ground instead of hanging with sharp spikes on all of them. Then we get Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcoming us to Backlash and that tonight there will be four Championships decided and some bad blood settled! Then as soon as he finishes that line we head to the ring as we get underway at Backlash 2004!

Hardcore Challenge for the Vacated Hardcore Title

The Japanese Buzzsaw makes his way down to the ring as we await Cyclone! His music hits and he makes his way out from backstage, down the aisle towards the ring. Then once Cyclone is in the ring...WGTT Theme hits and Charlie Haas as well as Shelton Benjamin come out from the entryway and make their way down to the ring.

Before the next match we see a video package begin to play. It first shows Los Guerreros together..as a tag team, as Tag Team Champions and most importantly as family..it all changed when Chavo and Eddie came to RAW. Chavo set off on his own and the package is showing all this. Then Eddie Guerrero began a feud with Raven over #1 Contendership. Then Eddie at Wrestlemania XX..both men are down in the ring as Chavo comes running down to the ring and we all think it's to help Eddie until Chavo nails a Brainbuster on Eddie onto the stop sign that was in the ring. Then Raven finished Eddie off and both Chavo and Raven celebrated the victory. Since then it's been back and forth and now...tonight Chavo Guerrero will feel the Backlash of his actions!

Eddie Guerrero vs Chavo Guerrero

No DQ, Pinfalls Count Anywhere Match

Chavo Guerrero's music hits and he comes walking out from the back with a microphone in his hand and immediately begins telling the tech in the back to cut his music! Chavo then begins speaking.

Chavo: I am the big star in this match. So Tech guy in the back. Your going to play Eddie's music and I am going to come out after that! Get this right.

Chavo Guerrero then returned backstage and the crowd was murmuring a bit until Eddie's music hit and the crowd exploded in cheers. Eddie comes out with his normal entrance minus the Low Rider. He does the Eddie Shimmy and then puts a finger to his lips and sneaks over, hiding next to the entrance. Then Eddie's music is cut and Chavo Guerrero's music hits. Chavo Guerrero then comes strutting out and says on his microphone as the crowd boo's him heavily as he walks out.

Chavo: That's more like it. What a True Champion deser.HEY!

This is the point where Eddie had snuck up on Chavo and floored him with a clothesline to knock him down and the bell sounded for the match to begin. Eddie began stomping and pounding on Chavo. Eddie then picked Chavo up and marched him down to the ring, rolling him inside. Eddie got into the ring himself but Chavo took control at this point by hitting a low blow to Eddie! Chavo then picks Eddie up and pushed him into the bottom right corner of the ring (if looking from the set) and began laying in with chops and punches. Chavo then whips Eddie hard across the ring..Eddie goes into the turnbuckle hard and comes back out into a back body drop from Chavo.

Chavo waits for Eddie to get up and then puts him back down with a Dropkick. Chavo then picks Eddie up and backs him into the ropes, back to the set. Eddie comes back at Chavo, ducking a clothesline attempt and comes back at Chavo hitting a Leg Lariat. Eddie gets up and is in control at this point. He picks Chavo up and whips him to that bottom right corner again and follows him in with a splash, followed by closed fist punches to the head. Eddie then whips Chavo across the ring into the opposite corner. Eddie then follows him in for another splash but Chavo moves and then nails a Neckbreaker on Eddie as he took a step back. Chavo then slides out of the ring and grabs a Table from under the ring. Chavo then tries to slide it into the ring but Eddie dropkicks the table back into Chavo instead!

Eddie then gets up and waits for Chavo to get up..then he Catapaults himself over the top rope but Chavo quickly grabs the table and tries to throw it up into Eddie!! What ends up happening is that Chavo is squashed between the ground and table but Eddie bounces off the table as well. Chavo takes the worse of the exchange though and Eddie crawls over into a cover..1....2...kickout by Chavo! Eddie picks Chavo up and slams his head into the Spanish Announce Table at ringside. Eddie then sets the table up on the outside..on the side of the announce table. Eddie then grabs Chavo and climbs up onto the announce table with him. Then tries to suplex him but Chavo blocks it and quickly spins around so that now Chavo's back is to the table and he lifts EDDIE GUERRERO INTO A VERTICAL SUPLEX AND SENDS HIM DOWN THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Chavo lays on top of the Announce table for a moment while Eddie lays in the remains of the table!

Chavo finally climbs off the announce table and grabs Eddie..pulling him out of the wreckage and covers him, hooking the leg..1...2....kickout! Chavo can't believe it and he picks Eddie up and walks him around away from the timekeeper set of stairs to the others and whips Eddie at them. Eddie reverses it and drives Chavo almost through the stairs! Eddie then grabs Chavo and walks him up the aisle but Chavo drops Eddie about halfway up the aisle with a desperation DDT to the floor!!! Chavo then gets an arm over Eddie..1...2...kickout by Eddie! Chavo gets up slowly and picks Eddie up. Chavo walks Eddie the rest of the way towards the set and tries to drive Eddie's head into the side of one of the Hooks (Flat not sharp side..can't go killing Eddie on live PPV). Eddie blocks it and bounces Chavo's head off it instead. Then Chavo staggers towards the curtain and goes backstage. Eddie follows him and we have to shift cameras to a backstage camera!

We come back in with Eddie looking for Chavo backstage and he spots Chavo whom quickly runs into a locker room. Eddie follows him and goes inside and all we heard is a sick thud and we come around the corner with the camera to see Raven standing over Eddie with a stop sign in hand. Raven then picks Eddie up and stands him up and moves out of the way and Chavo comes into view. Chavo has a Florescent light bulb in his hand and WHAM! He shatters it across Eddie's forehead and busts him wide open on his face. Eddie goes down and Chavo covers him..1...2....3!! Chavo lured Eddie into a trap with his ally Raven and comes out the victor. He leaves with Raven as we go to a commercial for Judgement Day!

Tommy Dreamer vs Booker T

WWE Intercontinental Title Match

We see a video package of how these two got together but it picks up when Dreamer devised his plan to become the IC Champion! Dreamer won the Hardcore Title that night and in a match featuring Booker T challenging Goldust for the Intercontinental Championship. Dreamer interfered surprisingly for Booker T. Nailing a "Mind Numb" (Razor's Edge into a Stunner) while the referee was down to allow Booker to pick up the win. From here the Booker T/Tommy Dreamer feud only intensified to culminate at Wrestlemania XX when Tommy Dreamer captured the Intercontinental Title from Booker. This is all shown in video clips, then the last few weeks where they've been at each other's throats..leading up to tonight!

Then as we come back to the arena..Booker T's music hits and he comes out from the back, playing to the crowd. Booker makes his way down to the ring and climbs the ringsteps to the apron. Then steps through the ropes and poses in the ring. Then once he's in the ring..Tommy Dreamer's music hits and the boo's echo down on him..the crowd much louder for this match for some reason. He comes walking out with the Intercontinental Title in one hand and his Singapore Cane in the other. He raises both into the air and then makes his way down to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope and places his singapore cane in a neutral corner, leaning against the ring steps and he hands his Intercontinental Title to the referee whom holds it up. Then both men stance in the ring as the bell sounds. The match begins with both men circling each other and finally locking up. Dreamer puts Book in a headlock which Booker pushes Dreamer off from into the ropes and Dreamer delivers a shoulder block to Booker. Dreamer then begins stomping Booker as he tries to get up. Booker catches one of the stomps and pushes Dreamer off. Booker gets up first and nails a clothesline on Dreamer.

Booker then nails an arm drag on Dreamer as he gets back up, then another. Then Booker hits a standing dropkick..not the best ever but a decent one to Dreamer! Booker then backs up into ropes as Dreamer gets to his feet slowly. Booker then makes an attempt for an Axe Kick but Dreamer falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring before Booker can hit it! The referee gives Dreamer an eight count before he gets back into the ring. Booker and Dreamer lock back up and Booker takes control with an armbar this time. He snaps it over and then begins torking it hard to put Dreamer to one knee. Booker then begins pounding Dreamer's right arm over and over. Booker then locks in a Japanese Armbar on the mat. Dreamer manages to drag himself towards the ropes and get his feet on them. Dreamer stays in them till Booker backs off and then as Booker comes back at him, Dreamer pokes him in the eye! The referee admonishes Dreamer but he ignores it and lays Booker out with a DDT. Dreamer gets into the cover, hooking the leg..1..2....kickout by Booker!

Dreamer picks Booker up and throws him onto his shoulders for a Dreamer Driver but Booker slides down the back of Dreamer. Dreamer turns into a BOOK END!!! Booker lays Dreamer out and crawls into the cover...1...2...kickout by Dreamer! Booker gets up and goes to the top rope and..Houston Hangover!!! but Dreamer gets out of the way in a hurry and Booker lands hard. Dreamer stands in wait as Booker gets up slowly and Dreamer then grabs him and lifts him up into the "Mind Numb" (Razor's Edge into a Stunner) and NAILS IT!!! Dreamer then covers Booker..1...2...Kickout!!! Dreamer looks shocked and begins arguing with Earl Hebner. Then he climbs out of the ring and grabs his singapore cane and slides back into the ring. He runs at Booker whom was getting up and Booker nailed a High Leg Lariat into Dreamer to take him down and Hebner allowed it. Booker gets up slowly in pain and kicks Dreamer in the gut and goes for his Scissors Kick! Dreamer avoids it and picks up his Singapore Cane and lays Booker T out with it!!! Dreamer then laughs sinisterly over him as Hebner calls for the DQ. Booker T's music hits but that ends quickly when Dreamer picks Booker up with the Mind Numb again but he keeps the Singapore Cane on his shoulder and hits it DOWN ON THE CANE!!! Dreamer is then handed his Intercontinental Title as he leaves though Booker T is the winner. Dreamer celebrates his beatdown of Booker up the aisle though it's apparent that he couldn't take down Booker this night as we head to the next match!

Chris Jericho vs Big Show

This match really doesn't have much buildup to it as it was signed after RAW on Monday Night but we see a few scenes from RAW as well as from their battles of the years past and then we come to tonight!

First man out is Big Show..his pyro and music hit and he comes walking out after his pyro goes off. Show makes his way down to the ring in his usual entrance and climbs inside. Then does his pose in the ring, afterwards standing in wait for Jericho. Jericho's new video hits with the Y2J Countdown and when it ends his pyro goes off and "King of My World" By Saliva kicks up and Jericho turns around out of his pose. Jericho then makes his way to ringside and about halfway down he sprints the rest of the way. He slides under the bottom rope and hits a basement dropkick to the left knee of Big Show. The bell sounds as Jericho continually attacks that left knee with dropkicks and stomps. It doesn't take Show down though till Jericho hits a Trio of Chop Blocks that finally take Show off his feet.

Show gets up gingerly as Jericho kicks his thigh trying to tighten up the muscles and injure the big man. Show gets to his feet and throws Jericho away from him..and Jericho ends up on the other side of the ring. Jericho runs back at Show and receives a standing sidekick to the jaw for his troubles! Show limps about for a moment trying to work the stiffness out of his leg. Then he picks Jericho up and does his stepover legdrop on Jericho which makes the crowd gasp from the possible injuries Jericho sustained! The crowd is completely hot for this entire match, they are lapping up every move though Show is completing alot of them very sloppily. Show gets a long two count after the leg drop and Show picks Jericho up to his feet and whips him into the bottom left corner of the ring (If looking from the set) Show stomps in after him and lays in an open palmed slap to Jericho's chest which puts him down to the mat. Show then picks Jericho up and does another one. Then he grabs Jericho by the arm and hip tosses him into the atmosphere and he lands somewhere on the other side of the ring.

Show comes after him and Jericho in desperation delivers another basement dropkick to that left knee and begins working it over again as quickly as he can. Show throws him off though to the mat but Jericho is tenacious and comes right back after Show's knee and takes him off his feet with another chop block. Jericho then grabs both feet and goes for the Walls of Jericho but Show uses his strength to push Jericho off and it hurls him through the ropes to the outside of the ring! Jericho lands hard on the outside and is counted to about six before he climbs onto the ring apron. Show grabs him by his hair on the ring apron and Jericho grabs Show's head and drops off the apron, choking Show on the top rope. Jericho then climbs onto the apron, to the top rope and stands in wait for a stunned Show. Jericho then goes for a Missle Dropkick which Show swats away and when Jericho gets back up he runs into a gigantic hand which delivers a Nasty Showstopper to Jericho!!! Show then gets into the cover on Jericho, hooking the leg..1....2.....3! Jericho tried to kick out but it was too late and he was worn by the massiveness of Show. Show picked Jericho up and tried to deliver another Showstopper but Jericho hits a low blow on Show and he goes down. Jericho then grabs Show's legs and turns him over for the Walls of Jericho..the crowd is going nuts as he does this.

Cena then comes running out to a chorus of boo's and Jericho doesn't see it coming. Cena slides into the ring, takes off his World Title and clocks Jericho in the back of the head with it. Then he picks Jericho up and hits an F-U for an exclamation point! Cena then helps Show up and Cena raises Show's arm as they leave to Show's music. Jericho left laying in the middle of the ring!

Batista/Low-Ki vs Rey & London

Undisputed Tag Team Championship Match

We see a video package of Batista and Low-Ki defeated "The Legends" (Austin/Flair) For the Tag Titles during the Round Robin Tournament leading up to Wrestlemania XX. Then defeating Team Angle for them at Wrestlemania XX only to be upset on the April 12th edition of RAW by Rey Mysterio and Paul London for the Titles! We see shots of all this and then the last two weeks where Batista has gone out of his way to demolish Rey Mysterio and Paul London which has led up tonight where we find out if Rey and London are fluke's or if they are for real!

Batista's music hits and he comes out from the back doing his normal entrance with Low-Ki behind him in tow. Both men make their way down to the ring and do their usual entrances to the ring. Then Paul London makes his way out from the back to his own music, he makes his way about half way to the ring with his Undisputed Tag Title around his waist. Then Rey Mysterio's music hits and a platform by the entryway is noticed and Rey catapaults from underneath it into the air. He lands on his feet and runs down the stairs of the platform sideways. Then he makes his way up the aisle, playing to the crowd and then slaps hands with London..then they motion to the ring and both men run to it. London slides under the bottom rope and begins brawling with Batista. Mysterio with Low-Ki. Batista takes London to the lower left corner of the ring and begins mauling him with nasty punches and short clotheslines in the corner. Mysterio on the other hand, gains the advantage over Low-Ki in the opposite corner. Batista whips London out of his corner and Mysterio whips Low-Ki out of his but he reverses it sending Mysterio at London. Mysterio leapfrogs London and London keeps running, hitting a Dropsault on Low-Ki into the corner while Mysterio tries to hit a cross body on Batista but Batista catches him and hurls him to the outside, over the top rope!

London turns and sees this, running back at Batista and hits a Dropsault to him from behind, knocking him over the top rope to the outside! Low-Ki though recovers enough to snag London from behind into a sudden Dragon Sleeper but London fights it off by kicking Low-Ki in the head, since he didn't take London to the mat with it. London gets up as does Low-Ki and they lock up. Low-Ki takes control with a hard armbar on London and begins working over his right arm as Mysterio and Batista get to their team's corner. Low-Ki then walks over to the ropes with the armbat and throws himself over the top rope while holding London's arm to wrench it nastily against the rope!! Low-Ki then gets back in the ring and locks in a Japanese armbar which is broken up by a Mysterio sit out dropkick to the face to break it! London favors his right arm as Mysterio is ushered out of the ring by Nick Patrick which allows the non tag from Batista/Low-Ki to take place and Batista takes control on London. Batista picks London up and snake-eyes him on the top turnbuckle. London staggers out of the corner after taking that move and gets inside outed from a clothesline by Batista. Batista then picks London up and goes for the Sit-Out Powerbomb but London reverses the attempt into a DDT as London came down!

London struggles to make the tag to Mysterio but Batista manages to drag him away from that corner. Batista holds onto one of London's feet as he gets up and London is trying to move away from Batista towards his team's corner. Then he surprises everyone with a variation of the Dropsault..a Mulesault as he kicks Batista in the chest with the move and flips forward onto his back. London then makes the hot tag to Mysterio whom leapfrogs the top rope to Batista and tries to go down for a West Coast Pop type pin but Batista pulls him back up and..A SUDDEN SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!!! Batista holds it for a pin..1....2....kickout by Mysterio. Mysterio had taken barely anything so that wasn't enough to finish him. Batista picks Mysterio up and hoists him into a Gorilla Press and walks over towards the side of the ring where the timekeeper and Spanish Announce Table is..AND HURLS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE CRASHES DOWN THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE..It splinters into dozens of pieces as if it wasn't supposed to break and Mysterio lays there prone. London immediately goes to check on him and he's out. Patrick counts Mysterio out and then calls for the bell. Batista and Low-Ki win the match but Low-Ki seems upset at Batista as they didn't win the Titles. Batista climbs outside and grabs London from behind and hits a Sit-Out Powerbomb on London on the outside of the ring on the matting!!! Batista then gets up and raises his arms in the air, celebrating the victory...Low-Ki seems less than pleased though as we head to a commercial for Stacker 2!

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle

This video package is perhaps the best of the night. It shows all the encounters of Kurt Angle and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin..most specifically their two PPV Feud at Summerslam and Unforgiven of the InVasion where they had classic matches. Back and forth between the two and then we come to the Draft Lottery where Kurt Angle moved to RAW and under the orders of Eric Bischoff was told to clean the trash out of the ring...it turned out it meant not only Smackdown but Austin as well! Since then it's been all out war and tonight will be the Backlash of Angle's actions!

Then we come back into the arena with "Medal" Playing and Kurt Angle making his way out through the entryway with the crowd chanting "You Suck" in tune to Angle's music. It's not a real WWE Event without the crowd chanting You Suck to Angle's music. Angle makes his way halfway to the ring and then points to the sky as his pyro goes off in front of the Backlash set. Then Angle makes his way to the ring and climbs up the ringsteps and into the ring. Doing his normal entrance and pose in the ring. Then The Glass Shatters!!! Austin comes stomping out from the back and down towards the ring. Angle motions with both his hands for Austin to bring it on. No fear in Kurt Angle apparently and as loud as the crowd was with boo's and "You Suck's" For Angle. They are that much louder for Austin. (Best Crowd Reaction of the Night)

Austin gets to ringside and takes his vest off..then slides into the ring and the match begins as Angle immediately begins stomping the hell out of Austin as the bell sounds. Austin fights to his feet and begins going punch for punch with Angle. Eventully Angle manages to get the best of Austin and backs him into the ropes, with Austin's back facing the aisle. Angle whips him across the ring and telegraphs the back body drop. Austin then kicks Angle in the chest and flips him off. Angle gets mad and runs as hard as he can at Austin, Austin uses Angle's momentum to chuck him over the top rope to the outside to a huge ovation from the crowd. They've been loud since the start of the match though. That pop was just a bit bigger than their buzz the entire match.

Angle stalks around outside the ring, getting angry and pumped..the referee reaches six before Angle runs back up those ringsteps and gets back into the ring. Angle then uses a burst of speed to run at Austin and Austin again uses it to his advantage as he hits a Lou Thesz Press on the Running Angle! Austin then nails quite a few punches to the head of Angle..then gets up and hits the ropes for the Austin Elbow. Austin then covers Angle for a short two count. Austin waits for Angle to get up and then kicks him in the gut and goes for a Stunner but Angle throws him off to the ropes and catches him off the ropes in an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex! Angle takes control at this point with hard stomps to Austin as he tries to get up and then Angle grabs him and whips him to the bottom left corner of the ring. Then follows him in with an attempt at a clothesline but Austin gets his feet up. Austin then lays Angle out with a nasty Lariat as he came running out and laid Angle out. Austin then picked Angle up and pushed him back into the top left corner, beginning to punch and stomp a mudhole in Angle.

Angle blocks one of Austin's punches and reverses Austin into the corner. Beginning to lay in hard fists and knifedge chops to Austin. Angle then whips Austin out of the corner but Austin reverses it sending Angle into the opposite corner full tilt. Angle slams into it chest first and goes down hard in pain. Austin covers Angle..1....2...kickout by Angle. Austin picks Angle up and whips him to the ropes and catches him in an Arn Anderson esque Spinebuster and rolls into the cover, hooking the leg..1...2...kickout by Angle again! Austin picks Angle up and tries for another Stunner but Angle reverses it into an Anklelock!!! Austin screams in it for about fifteen seconds and threw Angle off him and threw the ropes to the outside! Austin gets up slowly, Angle though grabs Austin and trips him. Then he drags Austin towards the ringpost and begins snapping Austin's ankle into the ringpost (left ankle). Angle does this three times and stops when the referee threatened to DQ him. Angle then rolls back into the ring and begins to stomp Austin. Angle then goes to work on the Ankle with stomps, torks and using the ropes to tork his ankle in the wrong direction.

Angle then finally goes for the Anklelock again but Austin reverses it by pulling Angle into a pinning predictament..1...2....kickout by Angle! Angle gets up quickly, quicker than Austin can and waits for Austin to get up...Kick Wham STUNNER FROM ANGLE!!!! Oh man if he pins Austin with this it will be the biggest of embarrassments for Austin.1....2....Austin gets a shoulder up and Angle can't believe it. Angle gets up and sets Austin up..on his back near the top left corner of the ring and he climbs to the top rope...ANGLE MOONSAULT!!! Which catches nothing but knees from Austin! Angle stays down a moment as Austin gets up and Angle gets up about the same time. They begin exchanging punch for punch again until Austin pulls a Stunner out of nowhere on Angle!!! Austin crawls into the cover slowly and hooks the leg..1..2....shoulder up by Angle! Austin picks Angle up and goes for another Stunner but Angle catches the kick and throws it down, then sinches himself under Austin's arm..ANGLE SLAM!!! Austin lands on the mat hard and rolls to the middle of the ring and Angle crawls over into the cover..1...2.....3!!! Angle gets the victory!! Angle stands up and celebrates in the ring as his music plays, then drops to his knees in celebration which was the mistake he made..Austin got up slowly and he looked glazed but..stalked Angle nonetheless as Angle got up, he got up right into a Stone Cold Stunner!!! Austin's music then hits and he goes outside the ring and picks up a couple beers from the timekeeper's table where his cooler is..he rolls back into the ring..opens them up and cracks them over Angle's body..drinks them as Angle is getting up and leaves the ringside area as the crowd cheers.

John Cena vs Raven

World Heavyweight Championship Match

Main Event

We see the scene from last year's survivor series when John Cena defeated Chris Jericho to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! He has had to prove himself against The Rock and Jericho for months now..culminating at Wrestlemania XX where he defeated Chris Jericho in a Hell in a Cell match for the World Title! Then we see the scene from the Mania XX when Raven defeated Eddie Guerrero with the help of Chavo Guerrero to earn this Title Shot and since then. Raven and Cena have gone back and forth for the last month and we see scenes of all these battles.

Then we come to the Backlash set and Raven's music hits...the ravens crow and Raven comes walking out from the back. The crowd isn't as hot as the last match but still pretty big pop for Raven! Raven makes a motion of the belt coming around his waist as he makes his way down to the ring. Then once Raven rolls inside the ring and stands in wait for Cena..."Thuganomics 101" hits and Cena comes walking out from the back to a chorus of boo's and cheers...damn those fans that like Cena no matter what. He has all his bling on plus the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Cena makes his way down to the ring and climbs up the ring steps. Then walks along the ring apron and steps through the ropes.

Cena then gets up in Raven's face and takes off his World Heavyweight Title and raises it into Raven's face. Raven spits in Cena's face and the fireworks go off as Cena drops his bling off his hands and began brawling with Raven immediately. Cena backs Raven into the top right corner and pounds him for a good fifteen seconds before Raven reverses it and begins pounding him back just as hard. Raven whips Cena as hard as he can out of that corner but Cena stops dead in the middle of the ring, holding onto Raven and reverses directions, whipping Raven back into the corner he was just whipping out of. Raven flips up the turnbuckles and over the top rope to the outside! Cena climbs outside the ring and begins pounding Raven with stomps. Then he picks Raven up and smacks his forehead off the ring post!

Cena then rolls Raven into the ring and hits the ropes, doing his shimmy as he goes for the Five Knuckle Shuffle but Raven moves and Cena punches the mat. You can just hear the mat screaming from that impact...not! Raven gets up and as Cena gets up, he walks right into a T-Bone suplex from Raven! Raven then quickly gets over into the cover..1....2...kickout by Cena! Raven was half a count from the Title. Raven picks Cena up and whips him hard into the bottom left corner of the ring and Raven follows him in with a splash clothesline, pulling Cena out of the corner with a bulldog to the mat! Raven then covers Cena again..1....2..kickout by Cena again. Raven picks Cena up and goes for an Evenflow DDT but Cena hits a surprising Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge out of it!..1....2...Raven kicks out strongly. Raven is up first even though Cena did that last move and hits a Double Underhook Suplex to Cena. Raven covers Cena again..1....2...kickout. Cena at this point rolls out of the ring and waves towards the back. Big Show then begins making his way out from the back and Raven turns his attention to him. At this point Cena grabs the World Title from the timekeeper and slides back into the ring and when Raven turns back around he gets clocked with the belt in clear view of the referee!!! Cena couldn't hang with Raven so he cheats to get himself DQ'ed! Cena continues to wave Show down as he picks up Raven and hits an F-U to Raven!! Show climbs into the ring and at this point Chris Jericho with a Steel Chair comes running from the back and intercedes from this beatdown. He stops it as Show and Cena scatter out of the ring!

Jericho yells down at both men waving his chair and smacking turnbuckles to show what he would do to them! Cena and Show back up the aisle, gloating and celebrating even though Raven's music hits and he is announced as the winner by Disqualifcation...This doesn't make Raven feel any better as he was possibly robbed of the World Heavyweight Championship!! We leave the PPV as the credits roll with Raven pointing to Cena and making the Belt motion around his waist..showing he wasn't done with Cena yet!

One day after Backlash we will have the fall out from that great show. Only the Hardcore Title changed hands as the other three major Title matches were tainted. So tonight on RAW we will have some rematches!

Bubba Ray Dudley will have to defend his newly won Hardcore Championship against Tajiri..one on one!

Batista and Low-Ki will get another opportunity to regain the Undisputed Tag Titles against Rey & London as it will be a Tag Match for the Titles tonight on RAW!

Chavo Guerrero pulled off a tremendous win against Eddie Guerrero on Sunday but it was a theft as Raven helped Chavo win.

April 26, 2004

Monday Night RAW

We see scenes from last night's PPV though they are in still photo form with audio going over. It shows the big win for Chavo, Batista taking out the Tag Champs. Dreamer and Cena both retaining in shady manners as well as Big Show's dominance over everyone. Then we cut to the normal RAW Intro video and music hit and play for their entirety. Then once they finish we have the normal RAW pyro to start the show and then we get things started with a Tag Team Match for competition purposes!

Team Angle vs Cyclone/Jay Lethal

Team Angle came to the ring first and then after them..both Lethal and Cyclone came out to their own themes. The match was probably the best you will see this month and perhaps year. It was a knock down, drag out for fifteen minutes. Best match of the night by far to kick off the show. The crowd originally wasn't into it but when Cyclone hit a Tigerbomb onto a top turnbuckle on Charlie Haas...from then on they were into it full swing. The crowd popped giant when Cyclone hit that move and were chanting Holy Shit for the next two minutes through. Haas had rolled to the outside with that move and Shelton tended to him.

The match did come to an end though a few moments later where Shelton Benjamin throws Lethal over the top rope to the outside. Then a groggy Haas grabs a loose hold on Cyclone from behind and Shelton winds up with the Superkick..but Cyclone ducks it and Haas catches it square in the jaw and he is out like a light. Cyclone hits the CycloneBomb (TigerBomb) on Shelton as he is shocked and gets into the cover on Haas..1....2.....3! Haas is completely out and Cyclone's music hits as he rolls out of the ring, Lethal and Cyclone leave victorious. After a moment though Haas is helped up by Benjamin but Haas is pissed off and yanks away from Benjamin's grasp. They don't come to blows but the looks from Haas to Benjamin may just have well been as we head backstage before a commercial break.

Batista/Low-Ki vs Rey & London

Undisputed Tag Team Championship Match

This is not much of a match but we begin to understand what is going on. Batista and Low-Ki are first out and Batista comes down to the ring very confident it seems, Low-Ki by his side. They climb into the ring and then London's music hits and he comes walking out..along with Rey Mysterio whom is limping along and not moving very fast. This match is simply Batista mauling poor Paul London as Mysterio is not much help to him. Low-Ki winds up coming around the ringside area and attacking Mysterio. Then grabbing a Steel Chair and wallops Rey over and over with the chair..causing a very quick DQ. Then driving the chair down onto Rey's hurt left knee (Apparently hurt last night). In the ring Batista is mauling London and winds up kicking him low after the DQ was called for and hoists London up into a HUGE Sit-Out Powerbomb that lays him out. Then Low-Ki slides the chair into the ring, Batista picks London up and turns him towards the chair...NASTY SPINEBUSTER ONTO THE CHAIR!!!!

Batista's music hits as he stands over London. Then he and Low-Ki back out of the ring and head to the back as emt's come down to the ring to check on London and Mysterio!

Bubba Ray Dudley vs Tajiri

WWE Hardcore Title Match

This match was pretty good considering that Bubba was in it and he's not usually the best worker but Tajiri carried this Hardcore bout. It was back and forth for about seven minutes in this match. Tajiri used his normal offense and kicks on Bubba but Bubba went to the weapons with a cookie sheet as well as a steel chair to put Tajiri down with a Bubba Cutter to the chair to defeat Tajiri..1..2....3! Bubba Ray retains the Hardcore Title in a pretty solid match!

After the match though Regal knocks Jindrak out with the Power of the Punch..ala with Brass Knuckles. Regal's theme then plays and he leaves...the crowd didn't expect this match and it was against Jindrak so the match wasn't as hot as it could've been!

We're backstage again and Big Show seems to be leaving for the night as he's heading to his car. When suddenly from behind a car comes speeding along..probably only doing 20 MPH but camera tricks make it seem alot faster. The driver is clearly Jericho and he is apparently flipped out cause he winds up HITTING THE BIG SHOW WITH THE CAR, KNOCKING BIG SHOW TO THE GROUND!!! Jericho gets out of the car and starts yelling at him but...shockingly to everyone Big Show stirs and begins to try and get up with a snarling growl coming from him. Jericho leaves at this point as Show gets to his feet, putting his hands on the car to balance himself as he has this sinister look on his face as if he will Kill Jericho!

Seems tonight is the night of attacks as we go to another section of the backstage area where Eddie Guerrero is down in his own locker room with EMT's tending to him..Eric Bischoff is seen coming into the room and can't believe that another superstar has been attacked...he says just one sentence

Bischoff: This is gonna Stop!

With that Bischoff walked out as the emt's continued their work and we went to commercial break!

John Cena vs Raven

World Heavyweight Championship, Cage Match

Main Event

First man out is Raven as the Cage has been lowered and it's ready for this Main Event. Raven gets down to ringside and climbs inside of the Steel Cage! Then "Thuganomics 101" hits and John Cena comes walking down to the ring with everything on and his World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. This match is what you'd expect from a Cage Match on RAW. Problem is that is seems neither man puts forth much of an effort at all as most of the wrestling is very sloppy but the crowd is still going insane throughout so it didn't matter much. Cena hits an F-U off the top rope with help on balancing for the Cage. This wasn't enough to get a pinfall because Cena didn't go for it. The cage door is locked with a Masterlock so it isn't opening. Cena begins to climb to the top of the cage to leave..Chavo Guerrero at this point comes running out from the back and scrambling up the cage but quickly behind him is a Staggered Eddie Guerrero. Chavo leaps up onto the cage and starts trying to climb but Eddie grabs him and drags him to the floor and drops him with a DDT to the matting. Raven had gotten to his feet and scrambles up the ropes to try and stop Cena from getting out but it's too late. The F-U did the damage to keep him down for long enough to allow Cena to escape and his feet hit the floor. If you are a workrate fan..this match is not for you. Lots of throws into the cage and grinding against it. Not much technicality or pyschology as we go off the air with Cena celebrating on the stage with the World Heavyweight Title!

WWE Smackdown

April 29, 2004

No video or music to start tonight..we start tonight right with a Fatal Fourway Cruiserweight Title Match!!!

Matt Cappotelli vs Asai vs Kid Kash vs Frankie Kazarian

WWE Cruiserweight Title, Fatal Fourway Match

All four men make their way down to the ring and we have the debut match on Smackdown for Matt Cappotelli! Eventully the last man out is Asai and he makes his way to the ring and climbs inside. Then the match begins and all the men go at it back and forth. It wasn't a spectacular match and the crowd wasn't significantly into it. It was a decent enough match but it finished with a big surprise. While Asai and Kash fought on the outside..Cappotelli put Kazarian down and ascended a corner to hit the Picture Perfect Moonsault and covered Kazarian, hooking the leg..1....2....3!!! New Cruiserweight Champion to kick off Smackdown! Cappotelli is shocked as his arm is raised and he leaves with the Title after a decent match!

We are backstage where Kane and his Mattitude Followers are talking in their locker room when Kane bursts through the door..maimed face and all. Mattitude isn't sure what to do but with only one door to get out through..he stood in the way. They attacked..first Shannon Moore was dismantled by Kane, Then Kidman and Jeff Hardy..all three taken out till it was just Matt. Kane grabbed him and PUT HIM THROUGH THE NEAREST WALL!!!! Into the next room...Kane wasn't finished though as he leaves the room and goes into the next room...Shane McMahon's office! Kane comes in and continues to dismantle Hardy with nasty fists and finally after throwing Hardy head first into a few more walls..He picks Hardy up by his throat and CHOKESLAM TO HELL THROUGH SHANE'S DESK!!! This is not a table/desk that is supposed to have people put through it so it breaks in a very real manner and Hardy screams in pain as Kane laughs sadistically and walks off...His match for the American Title with Hardy is next! We cut to commercial break from here.

Overall Rating: 79%

Kane vs Matt Hardy Version 1.0

WWE American Title Match

Kane's music is already playing as we return from commercial break and Hardy's music plays a couple times. Then the referee calls for the bell and the 10 count begins. Kane seems to be enjoying himself in the ring..Brian Hebner reaches a 10 count and the match is given to Kane. This is the point where we see Matt Hardy being loaded onto a gurny in the back and taken to a nearby ambulance where once he's secured it heads off to the hospital...Kane laughs the entire time and then does his ringpost pyro and leaves as his music hits.

Orlando Jordan vs Christopher Daniels

Jordan is the first out in his return to Smackdown. He makes his way down to the ring and climbs inside..then Daniels' music hits and he makes his way out with the European Title around his waist as if he was the champion! He makes his way to the ring and the match begins. It's not a long match because Brian Kendrick makes his appearance and comes running down to the ring, Daniels tries to attack Spanky but he ducks the attempt and Daniels goes over the top rope to the outside and hits his head on the apron on his way over. Spanky leaves the ring and takes back his European Title as Daniels is counted out. Spanky then stands in wait for Daniels to get up. the referee hits 10 and signals for the bell..at the same time that Spanky lays Daniels out with the European Title! Spanky backs up the ramp and holds the European Title in the air. Jordan celebrates the victory in the ring!

We go backstage where HHH and Randy Orton are talking gameplan for tonight..Storm and Shamrock are there with them.

Orton: Hunter all you have to do tonight is handle Rhyno. I want Edge all to myself. So I can take him out tonight. So I don't even have to worry about..Judgement Day.

HHH: Don't you worry Randy. I AM THE GAME! Rhyno doesn't stand a chance against the Game. And once your finished with Edge. There will be nobody to oppose the greatest stable ever created!

Orton: And you two make sure you get the job done tonight cause if you don't your gonna have to suffer the consequences of that.

Neither man liked the thought of that so they both nodded and looked intimidating..which is what they are supposed to do!

Christian/Chris Benoit vs Sean O'Haire/Hurricane

This was a really good back and forth tag match. The normal formula though. Christian and Benoit worked over Hurricane for the middle five minutes of the match but Hurricane managed to hit a desperation shining wizard on Benoit so he could make the hot tag to O'Haire. O'Haire began to clean house on both men with clotheslines and then martial arts kicks to the head for each man. Brian Hebner got distracted with getting Benoit out of the ring and at this point was when Christian pulled something out of his tights and punched O'Haire. O'Haire went out like a light and Christian got into the cover..1...2....3! Christian rolls out of the ring and he celebrates with Benoit on the outside..we see the replay and it shows Christian with Brass Knucks on his fist that knocked O'Haire out! Christian has cheated two straight weeks to get victories over O'Haire! O'Haire is sure to be getting some redemption to come his way soon!

A Prelude to the main event as we see Edge backstage getting ready for the big main event Tag Team match. He limbers up a moment and then grabs his trenchcoat, throws it on and heads for the stage..and that match is next!

Overall Rating: 79%

AJ Styles vs D'Lo Brown

SWERVE! heh Styles and Brown is before the main event as we don't want two tag matches in a row. This is a pretty respectable match for both men, it's obviously serving as a way for Lesnar to get involved with Styles again. Lesnar of course predictably does come running down to the ring, late in the match. He grabs Styles and hits a huge F5 on him. The referee calls for the bell and when D'Lo gets pissed and shoves Lesnar. Lesnar knees him in the gut and hits an F5 on him as well! Lesnar seems to be losing it slowly as he keeps flipping out and destroying AJ Styles week after week!

HHH/Orton vs Rhyno/Edge

Main Event

All four men get their own entrances with the faces coming out last. This match is pretty good and goes twenty minutes of tag match. Back and forth, not really a Heel/Face kind of Tag Match. Not much Isolation, just going back and forth between each other with high impact offensive moves. The match end comes when it looks like Edge may hit the spear on Orton. HHH and Rhyno are fighting on the outside and HHH takes Rhyno out with a smash of his face to the steel steps. Edge runs at Orton for the spear and Orton kicks him in the face to block it. Orton then stances and RKO TO EDGE!!! Orton then covers Edge..1...2....3! Orton then motions to the back as he and HHH are declared the victors but that isn't enough. Shamrock and Storm come running down to the ring with chairs and Orton instructs them to hit a Con-Chair-To on Edge!

Edge gets up groggily and sees both chairs coming just in time and ducks the shot, rolling out of the ring! Edge gets Rhyno from ringside and helps him to the back, holding his own head in pain as Smackdown goes off the air with Orton chewing out Storm and Shamrock for not getting the job done!

Sunday Night Heat

May 2, 2004

Dark Matches

Jay Briscoe defeats Billy Kidman with the J. Driver 70(62,78)**1/4

Eric Angle beats Black Dragon with an Angle Slam for the win 61(50,72)*1/4

Lance Storm takes down Jody Fleisch with a Superkick to the jaw for the cover. 71(58,84)**3/4

Matt Morgan destroys Funaki with his nasty Powerbomb and then hits another one on Funaki after the pinfall! 53(34,73)*

Heat Matches

Matt Stryker and Psicosis go at it in a tremendous match till late in the match, Stryker pushes Psicosis off from the Pyscho Stunner and a kick to the gut later, Stryker hits the Stryker Driver for the pinfall. After the match though Psicosis does hit the Psycho Stunner on Stryker to lay him out 81(75,88)***1/2

Tajiri and Shelton Benjamin go back and forth in another tremendous match till late in the match, Charlie Haas comes out and helps Shelton win by tripping up Tajiri when he didn't expect it...Shelton didn't really notice it and nailed the superkick to the jaw of Tajiri for the pinfall..but after the match Shelton does see the replay and is more than a bit annoyed as he walks out leaving Haas in the ring 78(76,80)**3/4

Spanky and Christian absolutely tear down in the best match of the night and better than any match in the past couple weeks. The ending is a bit tainted though as Sean O'Haire comes out and costs Christian the match and the European Title. He has the match won with an Unprettier but O'Haire distracts the referee long enough for Spanky to get up. When Christian finishes trying to get rid of O'Haire..he turns right into a Sliced Bread #2 for the victory! Spanky retains and after the match O'Haire gets into the ring and hits a hard "Cruel Intentions" On Christian to lay him out! 87(83,91)***3/4

Batista beats Taz pretty efficiently with a Sit-Out Powerbomb after dominating him for a couple minutes and then after the match hits another to show his nasty side. Good victory for the big man as Heat goes off the air! 77(72,83)***
