Team Mattitude comes out first to Matt Hardy's entrance. The First MattFact is that Matt Likes Pecan Vanilla Ice Cream! Tonight there is only one as they get to the ring. Then Mysterio's music hits and he pops out of the stage and begins playing to the crowd as he walks to the ring. Kendrick and Ultimo Dragon come walking out onto the stage. They slide into the ring and Scotty starts the match with Kendrick. Scotty dominates Kendrick in the early going and they isolate Kendrick. Quick tags in and out until finally Kendrick makes a hot tag to Mysterio who goes off on Team Mattitude. Eventully it breaks down with Matt Hardy Version 1.0 and Mysterio being the legal men. Ultimo takes Shannon out with a clothesline over the top rope with both men falling to the floor. Kendrick takes Scotty out with the "Sliced Bread #2" As this is hit Mysterio dropkicks Hardy in the back, making him land on the ropes..Mysterio calls it out.."619!" and Hardy rolls back into the ring.

Arriving into the Fire

Chris Benoit enters the arena with his newly won WWE Championship around his waist and immediately Brock gets up in his face asking him questions and demanding answers.

Lesnar: So Chris. What did you give to Taker to help you win? Your soul? Your Allegiance?

Benoit: Get out of my face Brock. I'm the Champ now and I call the shots. You can get in line for a Title Shot now.

The Intro into Badd Blood begins with the music that has been playing to promote it previously. It shows scenes of all the wrestlers in this event. Bleeding at one time or another and then previewing all the big matches except X-Pac/Dreamer since it was added late. Then once the intro has finally ended..the WWE PPV intro comes on saying..and now the RAW Brand proudly presents..BADD BLOOD! Then Red pyro begins going off as the camera view changes to the arena and the set which looks awesome. It looks alot like the RAW set except everything about it has Blood Veins all over it. And it is somewhat see-through so you can see shadows through it. The veins have some kind of red-blood like substance flowing through them. Then J.R. and The King welcome us to the first Brand Exclusive PPV ever. Then as they begin hyping the matches later..the first match of the night kicks off!

5Wrestling.com Update!

Apparently this past week Triple H stepped on a few too many toes and was dissing The Rock among other wrestlers. This caused a fight backstage when Rock found out and this was all BEFORE their match on RAW. So Watch RAW For something big tonight because rumors are flying about what will go down!

Monday Night RAW

July 7, 2003

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.

Overall Rating: 68%

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...kickout 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....kickout! 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!!!!

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....KICKOUT! 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...kickout 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!

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.

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!!

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!

Randy Orton vs Jay Lethal

Orton controls a early portion of this match with some hard fists and suplexes. Very good match by both men which finds Jay Lethal taking control late until finally Jay hits the Lethal Injection on Randy but at this same time..Ric Flair's music hits and he comes out onto the stage and begins to taunt Lethal and distract him! Lethal buys it and Orton gets valuable time to recover. Lethal finally stops and moves back over to Orton and goes down to pin him but Orton rolls Lethal through into a Small Package..1.....2...3! Orton steals a victory! Flair and Orton from here begin to beatdown on Lethal. Until..SHARK BOY COMES RUNNING DOWN! Orton and Flair bug out and leave the ring. Shark Boy yells down things at Lethal..He's in a spiffy new costume which is more updated then his previous outfits. More Sleek.

Shark Boy stays in the ring and Test comes out since their match was next anyway. This match is a domination for the most part by Test. Just a bigger stronger opponent than Sharky. Until Steve Corino comes running down to the ring and jumps up onto the apron to distract Test. Test swings for Corino but Corino ducks off the apron and Sharky hits a huge Neckbreaker on Test and then..SHARK ATTACK! Sharky covers Test after this..1...2....3!

Billy Kidman vs Paul London

This is an exceptional match even though London isn't a real accepted Fan Favorite yet. Both men put on a show and it's how a show really should be kicked off. The ending of the match actully turned out as a shock since Paul London picked up the victory on Kidman after he avoided contact from Kidman on his attempted Shooting Star Press. 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 was a very good match.

Matt Hardy's music and entrance hit and Matt's Fact of the night ends up being "Matt Hardy likes to wear Purple Socks" and this match which is about 10 minutes long is pretty solid by both men. Hardy in the middle hit a Side Effect getting a long two count! Rhyno hit a Gore and got a two count with Hardy kicking out! Late in the match Sabu runs down to the ring. The referee had accidentally been Gored so he was out of it. Sabu had a Steel Chair in hand and lept up onto the apron and swung the chair at Matt Hardy who was running toward him but..Hardy reversed the Irish Whip sending Rhyno into the Chair Shot laying Rhyno out! Hardy then clotheslined Sabu off the apron and covered Rhyno getting his feet on the ropes too! The referee rolled over and counted Rhyno..1...2....3!!! NEW AMERICAN CHAMPION! Matt Hardy gets up and raises both arms into the air with the Mattitude symbol high. He is then given the WWE American Championship and he hugs it with both hands and rolls out of the ring and leaves ringside celebrating insanely like he just won the World Series.

Sunday Night Heat

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)

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)

Monday Night RAW

July 21, 2003

Scenes from last week's RAW where Booker T and Goldust had a huge win to Retain their World Tag Team Titles last week and then the Main Event Triple Threat Match where Jericho pins Austin to get the win and get a Title shot for Summerslam guarenteed. 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!

Battle

Backstage Chris Jericho is entering the arena and randomly from off screen a sledgehammer comes swinging at Jericho's head. Jericho ducks it and he begins to fight HHH whom just attacked him. 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

??? vs Christian

(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! What a Low Move!!! We go to commercial from here

Lita is her usual self but Allura is still a bit green to the WWE Style and botches a spot during the match for a DDT where she doesn't fall properly and it looks really bad. 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!

WWE Smackdown

July 24, 2003

Smackdown kicks off with a video intro for Vengence previewing everything that will go down as well as a stirring video from Kurt Angle about his passion for the business and his passion for the Championship. Then the Smackdown intro video itself hits and then the camera zooms out to the Smackdown set as some pyro goes off. Then the first match of the night begins immediately..the WWE Tag Team Championship Match!

Team Angle vs Matt Hardy Version 1.0/Sabu

(WWE Tag Team Championship Match)

This match kicks off fast and furious between the Tag Champs and Sabu along with the American Champion. Though both Sabu and Hardy knowing they will meet in three days on PPV. It's a sound matchup with all four men getting some big moves in. The end comes when Sabu goes to superkick Shelton Benjamin and Benjamin ducks it! Sabu completely destroys the jaw of Hardy and then Haas grabs Sabu from behind and hits his Exploder Suplex! Shelton Benjamin then picks Hardy up and hits the "Money Clip" on him and covers him.1....2....3! After the match Team Angle leaves immediately but Matt Hardy grabs a microphone and begins yelling at Sabu whom is out of the ring at the moment

Sean O'Haire vs Eddie Guerrero

Eddie came out as usual but throughout the match he acts very cocky and arrogant throughout. Something different from Eddie. He dominates the youngster Sean O'Haire till the end of the match. O'Haire hits the "Cruel Intentions" but before anything else can happen. The lights go down and Lesnar's music hits. 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! After the match though Sean O'Haire is picked up by Lesnar for another F5 but O'Haire hits a low blow on Lesnar and hits the "Cruel Intentions!"

Including LONDON HITTING HIS RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE RING APRON ONTO BILLY KIDMAN ON THE FLOOR! This was simply the biggest pop of the night by far. Incredible move and a preview of possibly a new Cruiserweight Champion to come? Mysterio leapfrogs the top rope to hit a HUGE LEGDROP on Kidman on the outside of the ring. This pop was almost as big as London's! London got back into the ring and Psicosis immediately went for the Psycho Stunner but London blocked it and instead hit a Huge reverse DDT on Psicosis and then went to the top rope.."London's Calling!" and London hooks the leg..1...2...3!!! Paul London beat the Cruiserweight Champion! Smackdown takes a commercial break after this with London and Mysterio celebrating in the ring after the huge victory for the rookie.

Kurt Angle

A very stirring Kurt Angle montage is shown. Similar in likeness to The Undertaker's and Chris Benoit's. Angle's gets the biggest response of anything else except for London's huge move in his match. The fans are really into Angle even though he's heel. They must see him as more of a Tweener. Very good montage. What the WWE has made their money on.

Edge vs John Cena

Edge and Cena put on a pretty good match. Similar to Scotty and Kendrick's really except no high flying stuff. Edge and Cena chain wrestle Irish whips and into and out of holds. Edge hits a suplex and several others hard chops and fists. Cena later in the match hit a Belly to Belly on Edge. Then Eddie Guerrero whom is Cena's opponent for Vengence. 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....KICKOUT! 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...kickout by Eddie! Cena pulls Eddie to his feet...Small Cradle by Eddie!..1..2...kickout 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...kickout 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..kickout!

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!

He's very Mattitude oriented tonight! Will this lead him to victory?! Then we have Ultimo Dragon making a spectacular entrance coming down to the ring. Nunzio and Ultimo hook it up immediately with Nunzio quickly working over Ultimo's Arm for about 30 seconds until he gets away and nails a dropkick on Scotty to tag him in!

Then Benoit holds on and takes Taker over in a second one! Then Benoit finishes it off with a third German Suplex to Taker and then Benoit makes his patented cut-throat motion. Angle could've been up by now but he seemed to be taking his time..all he did was carefully roll himself out of the way so Benoit couldn't choose him as a target to headbutt from the top.

Benoit climbed to the top rope and delivered a HUGE top rope headbutt to Taker and after a moment of recovery he tried to get into the cover but Angle using surprise, picked Benoit up and ANGLE SLAM ON BENOIT!!!

Xavier vs Test

Tonight is the debut of Xavier on RAW! Xavier is in the ring to start the match though. He's obviously not been assigned a real entrance yet..we'll see where it goes with him! Then Test's music hits and he comes walking down to the ring..laughing. Obviously he doesn't respect the newcomer at all! Test walks down to the ring. This match is pretty quick though. Only about a four minute match with Xavier surprisingly controlling a bulk of it! But late in the match Test hits his Pumphandle Slam. Steve Corino comes running down to the ring and jumps up onto the ring apron. He then jumps off as Test tries to hit a Big Boot on Corino and ends up straddling the top rope as Corino drops off the apron but pulls the rope down in the process! The referee yells at Corino as he backs up the ramp..Xavier gets behind Test though and as he backs into the ropes he runs away from Test..grabbing his neck to nail a Pulling Neckbreaker for a Nasty finish!

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!

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

(WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

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

(WWE Women's Championship, Triple Threat)

Allura came out to the ring first to her entrance and music. Not a huge reaction. Next out is Trish Stratus who gets a huge ovation as she comes down to the ring, playing to the crowd. 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.

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.

Sabu vs Sean O'Haire

Sean O'Haire comes out first to his very gothic theme. He gets to the ring and poses for the crowd. Finally his entrance ends and Matt Hardy Version 1.0's entrance hits..no Mattfacts because it's Sabu's entrance but Matt holds his Mattitude sign high in the air with his WWE American Championship in that hand. Sabu doesn't seem happy to be accompanied by Hardy. Sabu gets into the ring and this match goes quickly between the men. O'Haire controls Sabu early but Late in the match Sabu looks to be set for an Arabian Facebuster to finish O'Haire until Hardy jumps up onto the ring apron to distract the referee..presumably for Sabu to use some of the Mattitraits but instead O'Haire nails a LOW blow on Sabu and hits the "Cruel Intentions!" He hooks Sabu's leg..1....2....3! Matt gets in the ring immediately after the match and yells at Sabu until he gets to his feet. Sabu then KICKS MATT LOW AND HITS HIS ARABIAN FACEBUSTER! Sabu laid the Leader of Mattitude out! He can't do that! He's part of his Stable!

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!

The Undertaker vs Rhyno

Rhyno was out first to the ring pounding his chest and playing to the crowd. Then once Rhyno was in the ring. The Gongs and tones of Undertaker's Hardcore Ministry Theme. 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!

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...kickout! 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!
