RAW

Date: October 3, 2005

Whole Dam Show

Rob Van Dam is in his locker room stretching across two chairs doing his mediation, when he is approached by Todd Grisham.

Grisham: “Rob Van Dam, you’re entering your first match back in the World Wrestling Entertainment. You’re making your first debut on RAW since the trade. If that all isn’t enough weight on your shoulders, you’re facing the Cerebral Assassin for his Number One Contendership for the WWE Title.”

RVD: “Todd, I would stop worrying about me, and start worrying about the well being of Triple H. Incase I didn’t make myself clear at ECW One Night Stand, you’re looking at a new RVD. You’re looking at an RVD that doesn’t take nothing from nobody, and if they don’t like it, I’ll just smoke their ass like I’m going to Triple H tonight. I want that WWE Title Todd, I’m not going to lie. The fact that RVD’s been on the shelf, and hasn’t gotten an opportunity to run for that title, isn’t cool. Alright? It’s not cool at all Todd. And I’ll tell you something else, while the WWE Title is important to me, putting on a hell of a match is also important to me. I’m the whole damn show. I was given that name by the fans because they know I’m a human highlight reel that can keep them on their seat. Personally, I think that’s enough for the WWE Title alone, the fact that I can put on a hell of a better match than Triple H and John Cena combined, but hell Todd, even if I don’t win, that’s fine. You know why Todd? Shut your mouth for one second and I’ll tell you. If I don’t win, that’s fine because whether or not I’m the Number One Contender for the WWE Title, I’m still Rob, Van, Dam! And that’s more than John Cena, Triple H, and any of the boys back here in the locker room can ever hope to be! Even that little [~bleep!~], CM Punk!”

Tajiri w/Danny Basham vs. Carlito w/Rene Dupree - Intercontinental Title

Tajiri and Carlito put on a great technical match with seemingly no rests. Tajiri kept the pace of the match quick at all times which was not Carlito’s specialty. Dupree nailed Tajiri while he held Carlito in the Tarantula, but the referee never saw it. Basham responded to Dupree’s attack on Tajiri by tackling him and starting a big brawl between the two. Carlito gained control of the match then picked up his apple in the corner of the ring, taking a big bite out of it. Tajiri climbs to his feet and Carlito spit’s the apple, but Tajiri ducks it and Carlito ends up spitting the apple in the referee’s face. With the referee blinded by the fruit, Tajiri blinded Carlito with the Green Mist. Before Tajiri could deliver the buzz saw kick, Rene Dupree slid into the ring and gave a low blow to Tajiri. The referee clears his eyes out just in time for a semi-blinded Carlito to nail the Cool-Breaker on Tajiri for the three count. Danny Basham slid into the ring to try and attack Carlito, but Rene cut him off and the two foreigners beat away at the patriot, Danny Basham. Tajiri then tried to save Basham, but found himself on the receiving end of a Double Back Drop out of the ring by both men. The team of Carlito and Dupree picked Basham up and hit a Hart Attack Clothesline before leaving.

Winner: Carlito

Vice Patrol

On the Titan-Tron, OVW’s Deuce Shade AKA Jimmy Snuka Jr. is sitting in an office in a white business suit, with sunglasses on and no socks. Deuce/Jimmy’s feet are up on a desk lighting a cigar when he notices the camera’s on him.

Deuce/Jimmy: “Oh, hello there boys and girls. My name’s Mr. Giddings. Donald Giddings to be exact. And business is extraordinary, as always. Money makes the world go round, but I don’t need to tell any of you this. You sit in the seats that you paid for. Whether their seats at the arena, or just seats at home. You paid for them. You had to have money to pay for them. And that’s where I come in. People say that Money is the root of all evil. Of course, those who say that… have none. My name’s Donald Giddings and I mean business. And for those who don’t like the way I conduct business… I’ll have to introduce you to my insurance.”

Mark Henry steps onto screen very close to the camera and snarls.

Giddings: “You gotta love business. You gotta love Donald Giddings. Or Else.”

CM Punk w/Vicki Adams vs. Big Show

CM Punk did the technical traditionalist thing in this match and tried to work over Big Show’s knees. Big Show, having the clear size advantage got a big pop for simple powerhouse moves, just because CM Punk sold them like a god. Punk’s face looked like he was having each inch of his skin ripped off slowly when Big Show began opening up on him with open handed slaps to the chest in the corner. Show ended up hitting the Hog Log but because of the damaged done by Punk to the knee, Show held his knee longer than Punk was actually down and out. Vicki Adams slid the ring bell in to Punk as she ran on the opposite side of the ring and jumped on the apron to distract the referee. Punk clocked Show right between the eyes but it only brought him down to his hands and knees. Punk tossed the bell out of the ring and dropped Show with the Devil Lock DDT for the three count. Punk and Vicki rejoiced in the middle of the ring over Big Show’s fallen body, but Punk wasn’t finished just yet. Vicki pulled out the can of spray painted and bent down to mark Show, but before any paint could be sprayed Show grabbed hold of Vicki’s hand and began to crush the can through her own hand. Vicki screamed in agony until Punk kicked Show in the face several times, then the two Straight Edgers ran away before Show could get back to his feet.

There’s About To Be A What? GIRL FIGHT!

Stephanie McMahon comes down to the ring and takes a microphone from Lillian Garcia.

Stephanie: “Thank you Lillian. It’s good to see another woman in the workplace, pulling her weight in a major company like myself. In fact, you’ve been doing such a good job Lillian, I’m going to give you a treat. We women, we have to stick together Lillian. And that’s why, to prove how much we appreciate you, I personally am going to pay for an all day spa treatment for you. Now, for my announcement. Ladies and gentlemen, Taboo Tuesday is right around the corner. An event where you the fans get to vote on what you want to see. Your votes…”

Stephanie is cut off by Ashley Massaro’s music, as the punk rock diva makes her way down to the ring. Ashley circles the ring until she gets to Lillian Garcia. Ashley requests a microphone but Lillian is a little hesitant to give her one, so Ashley slaps her across the face and takes it herself, then climbs into the ring with an irate Stephanie McMahon.

Ashley: “Steph, how can you give out prizes to hard working women, and not give me anything? I got rid of that little tramp Christy Hemme. I’m the hottest new Diva on RAW Steph. Hell, I’m the hottest diva in this state, or any other we’ve been to, come to think of it. But I can see why you don’t show any appreciation towards me Steph. It’s because I don’t act like you. It’s because I don’t dress like you. It’s because you wish you were me. Well you’re not Steph, and you never will be.”

Stephanie: “Who in the hell do you think you are? Little miss hot stuff, let me make something very clear to you. I have never wished, and will never wish to be you. The whole punk rock look can look sexy, but not taking a shower in four months and calling yourself Grunge doesn’t exactly make you sexy. And on another note, how dare you interrupt me you little bitch. Don’t you know who I am? I am the new RAW General Manager! And I came out here to make an announcement about Taboo Tuesday to the fans…”

Ashley: “The fans? Who the hell gives a rats ass about the fans? They shouldn’t get the opportunity to vote. What the hell have they done that makes them so worthy? If you want to know how to run a pay per view, just put Ashley Massaro as the headline. Tickets will skyrocket more than a Sex Pistols Reunion Concert. Also Steph, don’t act like you’re all high and mighty because you were given your RAW General Manager position, because we all know John Cena had to put you in a different position first, I.E. on your back!”

Stephanie: “You know what Ashley, I think in all your rambling you did make an interesting point. You do deserve a reward for all your hard work. So Ashley, let me introduce to you one of my good friends, because the right connections get you the right opportunities in life, wouldn’t you say? This friend of mine, is going to single-handedly kick-start the Women’s Division here on RAW again. Ashley, let me introduce to you… the WWE Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus!”

Trish Stratus’ music hits as the WWE Women’s Champion makes her way down to the ring. She climbs through the ropes and gets right in Ashley’s face. Trish starts pushing Ashley around but Ashley begins to back off nervously. Ashley gives Trish several right forearms to the face, sending her staggering backwards, then whips Trish off the ropes. Trish hit’s a diving forearm to the midsection of Ashley, doubling her over. Trish then slams Ashley’s face into the mat and continues to do so until Lita runs down from the back. Lita approaches the ring but Trish catches her in the corner of her eye and begins motioning her to enter. Lita just backs away and walks back up the ramp. Ashley pulls herself to her feet and tries to regain her balance, only to turn around into a Chick Kick from Trish to knock her lights out.

Eugene Dinsmore and Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho and Kerwin White

A phenomenal tag team match that shakes the ages. A rival to that of The Hardy’s verses Edge and Christian back in late 99’. Each team gelled so well and began firing off double team moves such as Jericho delivering a suplex to Eugene followed by a slingshot senton by Kerwin. With Kerwin pounding away on Eugene in the corner with the old 10 Punch Method, Eugene grabbed hold of Kerwin and walked into the center of the ring just long enough for Shelton to turn him inside-out with a Springboard Clothesline. Mid-match, after a long yet impressive pinning war between Jericho and Shelton, Jericho tripped Shelton and locked him in the Walls Of Jericho. After realizing his partner couldn’t make it to the ropes, Eugene dove off the top rope and knocked Jericho loopy with a Double Axe Handle Smash. The end came when Eugene and Jericho, the two illegal men at the time, got into a brutal fight on the outside of the ring that saw the two spilling into the crowd and fighting up the bleachers. On the inside of the ring, Kerwin went for the Tornado DDT, but Shelton planted him on his feet, then nailed him with the T-Bone for the three count.

Winners: Eugene Dinsmore and Shelton Benjamin

First Taboo Tuesday Match Announced

Eugene and Shelton Benjamin are walking around backstage celebrating and pouring water all over their heads.

Shelton: “Great match Eugene. I’ll catch up with you later man.”

Eugene: “I know! We were as good as Demolition, or The Hart Foundation. Bye partner!”

Eugene is walking around backstage when he bumps into Ric Flair.

Flair: “Eugene my boy! That was an impressive match out there.”

Eugene: “Thanks Ric! Me and Shelton make a great team don’t we!? We were just as good out there as you and Arn Anderson when you were in the Four Horsemen!”

Flair: “Whoa! Those are some strong words there Eugene. We don’t throw them around. You were good out there, but you were no Nature Boy, Ric Flair. The Horsemen are often imitated, never duplicated. Remember that now, boy. Besides, how can you say you were that great out there Eugene? You walked out of the match because of your feud with Jericho.”

Eugene: “Exactly, it looked sort of like I ran away scared, just like the real Ric Flair in a match!”

Flair: “What!? Ran away scared? The Nature Boy never backs down from a challenge! You got that son? In fact, why don’t we prove that right now! You and Me at Taboo Tuesday! Eugene vs. Ric Flair. The Nature Boy is going to take you to school boy! Woo! I’ll even let you pick the stipulation.”

Eugene: “Ric, that would be awesome! it’ll be just like Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart, or Ric Flair vs. Sting! But one thing. Taboo Tuesday is about letting the fans choose, not me. But I’ll make up some stipulations for them to choose from. Hmm... I know! They can see at Taboo Tuesday, Ric Flair vs. Eugene, in either a…”

Flair: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever man. You take care of that. The Nature Boy has some ladies in line out in the limo waiting to ride Space Mountain. Woo!”

Eugene: “Hmm… Ric Flair vs. Eugene in a Loser Wears A Dress Match! Or… Ric Flair vs. Eugene in a Bra and Panties Match! Or wait! I’ve got it! The Loser of The Nature Boy Ric Flair vs. Eugene Disnmore becomes the winner’s servant for a month!”

Edge w/Lita vs. Kurt Angle

A vicious battle between one of RAW’s biggest heels and one of RAW’s biggest faces. The atmosphere was incredible in this one, as the moves just kept getting stiffer, and stiffer, and stiffer. Angle tried to punk Edge out at the beginning with some mat wrestling that lead to arrogant slaps to the back of the head but Edge ended that quick with closed handed punches to the face. Every Edgeucation was matched with an Angle Lock, and every Edgeucution matched with an Angle Slam and German Suplex. The two athletes seemed so prepared for one another in this one. Edge managed to slip out of an Angle Slam, bounce off the ropes and nail Angle with the Spear, but before he could cover the Olympic Gold Medallist, Matt Hardy ran down to the ring and jumped up on the apron. Edge charged at him and took a swing, but Hardy ducked down off the apron. Edge turned around and went to kick Angle in the gut, but Angle caught his foot and locked him in the Angle Lock. Edge tapped rather quickly, awarding the match to Angle by submission. Angle got a good pop as he made his way to the back, but Matt Hardy was far from done. Matt slid into the ring and began to stomp on the fallen Edge. Lita tried to interfere but got pushed down by Hardy, as did the referee who tried to intervene next. Hardy stripped the referee of his belt, and wrapped it around Edge’s throat. Hardy choked Edge with the belt for a moment before lifting Edge to his feet and throwing him over the top rope to hang him with the belt in a much more sadistic manner.

Who’s The Show Stealer?

Kurt Angle is walking backstage in the hallways being congratulated by various staff and wrestlers on his win when he is driven into a garage door by Shawn Michaels. HBK pounds away at Angle, as Angle fires off right hands of his own. Angle gets the upper hand and slams Michaels’ head into the garage door a few times before HBK can counter with a rake to the eyes. HBK picked up a garbage can and nailed Angle over the head with it, then poured the remaining garbage all over Angle, as a swarm of referees showed up to pull HBK away.

HBK: “Nobody steals HBK’s thunder! Nobody! You remember that you Olympic hack! I’m Shawn Michaels! I steal the shows around here, and put on the five star matches! There’s no better sports entertainer in the whole world! Because I’m the man! And I can! Oh it’s true! It’s damn true Kurt!”

Various GM News

John Cena and Stephanie are in Stephanie’s locker room sitting on her expensive leather couch watching the show on a monitor with Cena’s arm around Stephanie.

Stephanie: “Man there’s so much chaos around here John. How the hell did Bischoff let things get this bad?”

Cena: “Easy, he’d turn his cheek to anyone who’s let him slap their cheeks. He was a sicko like that.”

Stephanie: “I’ve got some great ideas for Taboo Tuesday John. You’ll be incredibly proud that you chose me as your RAW GM.”

Cena: “No kidding? Whatcha got Steph? Lay it on me. So long as your boy John Cena’s main eventing, putting the Chain Gang’s WWE Title on the line!”

Stephanie: “You bet John. In fact, you’re taking on the winner of tonight’s main event. The fans will get to choose your stipulation. The choices have been put on WWE.com and can be viewed as soon as RAW’s over.”

Cena: “That kicks major ass boo. Good to see a GM that keeps it real. Anyone big showing up to Cena’s house?”

Stephanie: “Depends on who the fans want John, it’s not really my Pay Per View, it’s the fans’. They can expect to see such stipulations involving big names such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and even Mick Foley.”

Cena: “Damn girl! You’ve thought of everything! I’m damn proud I got you instead of any of the other posers that wanted this position. They’d probably be fronting and getting in my grill right about now, you know?”

Stephanie: “Thanks John, that means a lot to me. I got to go, but hey, thanks again for the job.”

Stephanie kisses John Cena on the cheek to everyone’s surprise then gets up and leaves, leaving Cena with a cocky grin on his face. Triple H is shown in another room glaring at a monitor at what just happen, as though lasers were to shoot out of his eyes and cause the monitor to explode. Triple H throws the TV off his table and begins to trash his room in a fit of fury.

Triple H vs. Rob Van Dam - Number One Contendership - ECW Rules

On any other night this match would have had the build up of the night. The fans got to see a very vintage side of RVD, that opened up on Triple H with all sorts of Extreme moves such as a Rolling Thunder onto a chair, onto Triple H, the Van Daminator, and the Flying Van Daminator with Triple H straddled across the top rope. With the mood that Triple H was in tonight, he pulled out some pretty vicious, almost ECW-like shots himself. Triple H delivered a DDT onto a stop sign, choked RVD with a camera cable, and even used the camera itself to bash RVD with. Triple H went to deliver the Pedigree to RVD but RVD back dropped The Game onto a ladder. RVD jumped up to the top rope and dove off for the Five Star Frog Splash, but Triple H rolled out of the way just in time, letting RVD land ribs first across the ladder. Triple H rolled to the outside and pulled out his Sledgehammer. RVD went for a Springboard Back Kick, but as he dove back, he was nailed in the back of the head with the Sledgehammer, leaving him down and out in the middle of the ring. A bloody Triple H rolled him over and covered him for the three as John Cena made his way out on stage. Triple H celebrated a little before locking eyes with Cena. The two had a staredown and trash talked a little before RVD made it to his feet. RVD picked up a chair and when Triple H turned around, The Game was met with a chair between the eyes, dropping him into the corner of the ring. Cena entered the ring and held the chair over Triple H’s face as RVD mounted the top rope on the opposite side of the ring. The Whole F’n Show dove off the top rope nailing The Van Terminator with some help from the WWE Champion.

Paul Mitchell w/William Regal vs. Road Warrior Animal w/Heidenreich

A prestige opening match, with both big men putting on a good clash of monsters. Mitchell was looked at as the only man to ever man-handle Road Warrior Animal, though he had some help from William Regal who was cheering him on, on the outside. After a 2 count on a pin where Mitchell had his feet on the ropes, Heidrenich jumped onto the apron and began arguing with the referee. Animal fired off some right hands to the gut of Mitchell, then lifted him up for a Running Powerslam. Mitchell slipped out the back door as Regal jumped up on the apron, and Animal was pushed right into the Power Of The Punch, AKA a right hand with brass knuckles by Regal. Mitchell hit a Standing Star Press on Animal as Heidrenich climbed down off the apron and chased after Regal. Mitchell got the three count just as Regal slid into the ring, being chased by Heidenreich, who ran into a Clothesline from Mitchell. Mitchell holds Heidrenich up so Regal can deliver the Power Of The Punch to Heidrenich, leaving him down and out with his partner.

Dante: "Smackdown, WWE, world soon you'll all fall victim. In just two weeks, Aleister Dante arrives. Are you ready? Are you ready for the change? It's coming. It's coming faster, and harder than the Blitzkrieg. What are you going to do to stop me? What can you do? Absolutely nothing. You've all been brainwashed into thinking you're all powerful. You've all been brainwashed into thinking that maybe you're special and unique, when really you're all the same. You all wear the same tights. You all wear the same knee pads, and you all think that covering yourself in tattoo's make you appear more tough. I have news for you. You're not fooling anyone. You're not fooling me at least. I'm the true individual here, and I'll show you some things you've never seen before. You might not be ready, but you can bet your ass I'm coming. And as a clone, a replica, a robot off the same assembly line as all of you drones, once said. Whatcha gonna do WWE? Whatcha gonna do when Aleister Dante, the only true unique individual, runs wild on you? I'll tell you what you're going to do. I might as well tell you, because if I don't someone else will, and they might tell you the wrong answer. You're going to do nothing. You're going to take whatever punishment I see fit in dishing out, and you're going to bitch and moan about it for the next few weeks. None of you will try and exact revenge on me though, because you're all going to be too frightened. You'll all be too frightened of me; too frightened of change! So says, Aleister Dante.'

Amore Da Odiare vs. MNM w/Jillian Hall and Melina - Italian Street Fight

A brutal back and forth battle, bringing out all sorts of weapons. MNM used such objects as Melina’s boot, a steel chair, a kendo stick, and a trash can. The more experienced hardcore fighters, Amore Da Odiare, used such weapons as a trash can and it’s lid, a stop sign, a stick-ball-bat, and several steel chairs. Vito and Nunzio delivered a Spike Powerbomb through two chairs on Nitro that got a big “Holy Shit” chant near the end of the match. MNM would not go down easy though, and put up a great fight, especially thanks to Melina who kept handing them weapons. Jillian Hall remained neutral in this match until the end when she entered the ring and begged Vito to stop hitting Nitro with a Stick-Ball-Bat. Vito paused and listened to Jillian until Mercury tried to attack him from behind, which Vito ducked the attack and delivered a Double Arm DDT to Mercury for the three count. MNM retreated up the ramp way with Melina and Jillian Hall as Amore Da Odiare celebrated.

An Indecent Proposal

Before MNM disappear behind the curtains, they’re handed a microphone.

Melina: “Hey! Hey! You grease balls think your so big because you can attack someone with weapons. MNM are the true winners here though, because they get to go back to the hotel room and be healed by Jillian and my voluptuous bodies.”

Melina and Jillian begin hanging all over Nitro and Mercury, which grosses Nitro out because he’s being held onto by Jillian. Nitro swipes the microphone out of Melina’s hand.

Nitro: “You know what I’ve noticed. We have two valets to the ring, and these two klutzes have none. I don’t think that’s really fair so what do you say we make an interesting offer. Vito you seem to have a little thing for Jillian here, so how about this. At No Mercy, what do you two say to a match. You two, vs. MNM, one more time! We’ll put the managerial services of Jillian Hall on the line. How about that?”

Nunzio: “That sounds like a plan punk! You bring your asses to the pay per view, and Amore Da Odiare will show you, NO MERCY!”

Mercury: “Hold on, hold on. That’s a mighty big proposal there Nitro. I mean Jillian’s done so much to help us. It’ll be hard to put her services on the line. As I see it, we’re getting robbed by this proposition. Boys, if you win, you get Jillian’s services, but what if we win? How much is Jillian worth to you?”

Vito swipes the microphone out of Nunzio’s hand.

Vito: “Anything. You name it. It’s yours. I ain’t never seen a more beautiful broad in my life than Jillian. I’ll tell you what boys. Amore Da Odaire will convince whoever wins the General Manager Position match, that you two deserve to be the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles. It doesn’t matter who we beat, or who’s asses we kick until the pay per view. If you boys beat us at No Mercy, we’ll get you a number one contender shot!”

Eddie: “Hey! Whoa! Calm down ese! So did I homes.”

Eddie: “Oh, that’s right Orton. I forgot homes. Last week’s match was all about you. I wasn’t even there, was I? It’s always about you isn’t it homes? I bet our triple threat match at No Mercy is going to be all about you too homes?”

I have to give credit where credit is due JBL, last week when you were beating on Booker T, that was the most impressive display of No Mercy, I’ve ever seen. I would love for you to be my represenative JBL. Please say yes, it would mean so much to me.”

JBL: “Are you joking? A chance to wrestle for you sir, Mr. Bischoff, AND get rid of Theodore Long? It’s like a dream come true! Thank you for the opportunity Eric. I hope it’s ok if I call you Eric.”

Bischoff: “JBL, we’re going to get along just great.”

Randy Orton vs. Eddie Guerrero

Within the first two minutes of this soley chain wrestling match, the World Heavyweight Champion Batista came down and joined the announce team. About only another minute went by in the match before Eddie Guerrero was tossed over the top rope by Orton. Guerrero got up and began trash talking Orton, until suddenly he spun around and dove at Batista, clobbering him with right hands. Orton exited the ring and joined in on the attack, stomping away at the champion while Guerrero punched away. The two lifted Batista up and dropped him ribs first onto the barricade. Guerrero took a chair while Orton held Batista still on the barricade. Guerrero slammed the chair into the back of Batista three times before dropping the chair. The two then literally dragged Batista back over to the announce table where they drove him through the table with a Double Vertical Suplex. Guerrero and Orton celebrated in the middle of the ring, holding Batista’s World Heavyweight Championship over their heads.

Matthews: “Rey Mysterio, after Booker T cost you your match with Chris Benoit, you then returned the favor by helping JBL destroy him in a most heinous manner. What’s gotten into you lately Rey? A lot of people used to look up to you and now you’ve…”

Rey: “Josh, you had better shut your mouth right now. I’m tired of hearing all that garbage. I’ve changed. Deal with it. I’m no longer the happy-go-lucky, fan-favorite. I’m the most dominate under dog in all my matches now. Now, I’m a top contender here on Smackdown, and damnit for the first time I’m looked at as one! Everyone I’ve destroyed to get where I am now, are just collateral damage. I don’t care about them, just like they never cared about me. Speaking of which, last week I crushed Booker T’s face with a Legdrop on a chair. You won’t be seeing that Sucka around here tonight. I wouldn’t be surprised if I broke his damn jaw.”

Matthews: “Be that as it may Rey, since we’re not expecting to see Booker here tonight, how are you feeling about your match with The Undertaker?”

Rey: “The Undertaker? The Undertaker can kiss my Mexican ass Josh! He’s nothing. He’s nobody. He’s a has been. He’s washed up. Rey Mysterio is the new phenom. I’m the new monster around here. I’m going to take Undertaker to school, and teach him a thing or two. Undertaker may look down on me now, but by the end of the match he’ll b looking up at the ceiling hearing the ref come down for the three."

The Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio

An awkward clash of styles with Rey trying to shove himself down our throats as a legitimate competitor. Undertaker threw Mysterio around like a rag doll and used his size and power to counter most of Rey’s moves, such as throwing Rey clear across the ring when he went for a Wheelbarrel Bulldog. Rey did manage to take down The Dead Man every once and a while with moves like a Springboard Dropkick and an Asai Moonsault on the outside. Rey hit the 619 on The Undertaker which sent him reeling backwards but it barely phazed him. A hurse began to back down the ramp way until it was a few feet from the ring. Rey went for the West Coast Pop but Undertaker caught him and lifted him up even higher, slamming him down with the Last Ride. Undertaker covered Rey but before the three count could be administered, Christian exited out the hurse door, slid into the ring and broke up the cover. Christian hit the Unprettier on The Undertaker as the referee called for the bell. Christian rolled the Dead Man out of the ring, and after a low blow to weaken The Undertaker even more, Christian threw Undertaker into a casket which was in the back of the hurse. Christian locked the back of the hurse and drove up the ramp way. The camera followed the hurse as it screeched around corners in the parking lot. Christian parked the hurse and climbed out.

Christian: “I’m sick of being disrespected! If my peeps wont respect me anymore, then maybe they’ll fear me! See you in hell dead man!”

Christian put the car in reverse and jammed a 2x4 in between the seat and the gas peddle, causing the car to go screeching off backwards until it hit another car, did a flip and landed right on it’s hood, crushing it.

Winner: The Undertaker via DQ

Long’s Pick:

Long is walking around backstage looking quite distressed about Bischoff’s pick. He’s approached by Chris Benoit who looks like he was looking for him.

Benoit: “Mr. Long, I’ve heard JBL is going to be Eric Bischoff’s represenative in your General Manager Position match at No Mercy. Well there’s nobody JBL fears more than the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit! Give me the chance sir, I know I’ll rip him to shreds! The only thing he can do is try and prove me wrong!”

Long: “Benoit! I’ve got a hell of a lot on my mind right now! Just because you hate JBL doesn’t mean you can beat him! I hate him too and I know if I fought him I’d get my ass handed to me, you feel me? I don’t have the time or patience to deal with your crap right now so please get to stepping playa!”

Benoit: “Mr. Long please! At least give me a chance to prove myself! Let me prove to you I’m the greatest technical wrestler in the history of this industry! Let me prove to the fans that I can beat JBL! And let me prove to that no good son of a bitch JBL that it’s not about the money, it’s not about the cars or the women, IT’S ABOUT THE PASSION!”

Long: “Fine Benoit! Fine! You can have your match! It’s next! Congratulations, you’re facing both JBL and Orlando Jordan. Hell, let me take it one step further and make it a No DQ match! If you can win, I don’t care how, if you can win, by any means nessacary, you can represent me at No Mercy, now believe that!”

Chris Benoit vs The Cabinet - Handicap Hardcore Match

A brutal mismatch where The Cabinet wore Benoit down to a point where it seemed even if Benoit did win he would be too hurt to fight at No Mercy. Benoit managed to get some good pops as he got his second wind mid-match and started throwing out German Suplexes, Back Drops, and Snap Suplexes all around. JBL cut Benoit’s second wind short though when Benoit went for a Running Crossbody and got caught with the Last Call. The end came when JBL got Back Body Dropped over the top rope and through a table. Orlando Jordan then dropped Chris Benoit with a US Title shot between the eyes. Down the ramp ran Doug Basham, who nailed Jordan with the Last Impression. Basham picked up the US Title and waited for Jordan to get back up so he could hit him with the belt. Benoit pulled himself to his feet and when he did, he locked Jordan in the Sharpshooter until he tapped out. Benoit held onto the submission as the bell rang repeatedly.

While WWE has been putting all efforts into their current product, they are also looking to have a bright future. How do you make a bright future? With bright superstars to-be. WWE has hired three indy workers to written contracts and put them in OVW where they will surely blossom into massive amounts of potential for greatness. the three superstars are known as "The Sure Thing" Ryan Wing, Onyx, and Chad Collyer. All three workers are very scientific in their wrestling style, and thus should adapt to the WWE Style quickly.

Business Opportunity You Can’t Refuse

We see a new video on the Titan-Tron with Donald Giddings sitting at his desk smoking a cigar wearing the same Miami Vice looking outfit.

Giddings: “Ah! I didn’t hear you come in. I thought my secretary would have warned me before you began shooting. WWE, have I got news for you. I mean big news. I mean bigger news then when your stocks go up 60%! I mean this is really big news I’ve got here. I’m on my way. Any week now, you can look to see me in the WWE ring. Now that, that’s a good deal wouldn’t you say? I get to come out and put on the performance of your miserable little poverty-stricken lives! You’ve got quite the big business opportunity on your way, don’t you? When I come you can either support me, sponsor me, and absolutely love me! Or… you can do the opposite, which is get in my way. Believe me, the last thing you want to do is get in my way. Bad things happen to people who get in my way. Lets face it, I know your secrets. I know your weaknesses. And I’ve got just what the doctor ordered - A fat, fat, wallet. To quote a legend, Everybody’s got a price. What’s yours audience? What will it take for me to get you to cheer for me? Five star matches? Lovable catchphrases? Money? I think it’s that one personally. Or will I just have to have love for me beat into you.”

Mark Henry steps on-screen, with his face right in the camera. Giddings’s voice can still be heard from behind Henry, as the big man snorts.

Giddings: “You gotta love business. You gotta love Donald Giddings. Or Else.”

Mark Henry’s hand grabs hold of the camera as it goes to static.

Rob Conway vs. Danny Basham

These two former tag team specialists tried to show off what they could do as single competitors tonight, and also see who was the better singles specialist. The match started off with a test of strength which Basham won but as Conway tried to re-try the test of strength, Conway gave Basham a boot to the gut, followed by a rake to the eyes. Conway wore Basham down with a lot of cheap shots and chokes but Basham managed to come back mid-match when he turned Conway inside-out with a Clothesline that rocked him so hard he did a flip in mid-air. Basham used a very methodical ground-and-pound system to bust Conway’s nose. Basham continued to work on the face of Conway but Conway nailed Basham with a low blow as the referee was between the two trying to separate a grapple in the corner. Some back and forth action pursued until Basham hit Conway with a Gutwrench Powerbomb for the three count.

Val Venis and Johnny Parisi are standing backstage in the interview area with Maria, surrounded by beautiful women which Venis and Parisi had their arms draped over.

Maria: “Val Venis, Johnny Parisi, from what I’ve heard you two share a very common trait that brought you guys together. I myself have heard many rumors about what that trait is and I think it’s just adorable.”

Parisi: “Adorable? What do you mean babe?”

Maria: “Well I think it’s just so sweet that you two became friends when you heard you both had really big dogs.”

Venis laughing: “Johnny, I think Maria is talking about our over-sized Dachshund hounds! You’re absolutely right Maria the rumors are true. And these ladies around us are huge dog lovers! Isn’t that right ladies?”

The ladies smile and giggle while Venis and Parisi check them out.

Parisi: “Hmm… how about you Maria? Are you a dog lover? Would you like to drop by our hotel room tonight and see our massive…”

Maria: “Well Johnny, that’s so sweet of you to ask. I’d love to drop by, because I am very curious about the rumors. But me personally, I’m a cat person. I love my pussy cats. Are you girls bringing your cats to the hotel room too?”

Venis: “You bet they are Maria! Johnny and I are putting together a little movie. I think we should call it Cats and Dogs - Finally getting along: A VP Productions movie. VP being Venis and Parisi. But Maria I think we could find you the perfect position in our movie.”

Maria: “Really? That sounds great! I’ve always wanted to be a movie star!”

Parisi: “Come on Val, we’ve got a match. Lets go put on a tag team ass kicking so hard on the Heart Throbs, that they’ll have to rename themselves Virgin Mobile.”

The Heart Throbs vs. VP Productions

VP Productions brought back the old school feel of tag team wrestling, by showing off that they really are the Best Double Teamers in the WWE. The Heart Throbs experienced a double Back Elbow, a double Back Body Drop, a double Vertical Suplex, and an Inverted 3D, not to mention all the quick tags made between the two. The Heart Throbs would not go out without a fight though and began to take the match into their favor. The Heart Throbs made the crucial mistake of after hitting a double DDT on Val Venis, sliding outside of the ring and double-team-dancing one of the girls Venis and Parisi brought with them, in a very Night At The Roxbury’s Fashion. Parisi made their comical bit short lived as he attacked them and rolled Antonio into the ring as he threw Romeo over the barricade. Parisi had Antonio all to themselves and put him down and out with a Swing Thing (Cobra Clutch Russian Legsweep)/STO for the three.

Christy Hemme’s music hits as the Playboy RAW Diva gets a big pop for her return. Hemme dances her way down to the ring and climbs in taking a microphone.

Christy: “I have to be honest, it’s good to be back! You guys have no idea how much I missed you. Every day away from this ring, these turnbuckles, these ropes, an all of you, was pure hell! After I got taken out by Lita and Ashley Massaro, I thought I wouldn’t be able to come back, but I can see due to all the support you guys have given me that I NEEDED to come back!”

Christy’s return speech is cut short by the music of Victoria. Victoria stomps down the aisle and climbs into the ring, taking a microphone from ringside. Victoria gets right in Christy’s face as she talks.

Victoria: “Need you? What do they, what do we, what does anyone need you for!? What purpose do you serve here Christy? Sure, you’re pleasing to the eye but so is a gold Porsche. But surprise, surprise, that gold is going to run right off that car when it rains and people will see it wasn’t even a Porsche, it was a Geo. Christy, you’re a mockery of this profession; a stain on the good name of this industry! Look at your body. You’ve got the body of a playmate. Look at my body. I’ve got the body of an athlete! Look at your presence. You’ve got a presence that says you’re a spoiled little girl who got where she is in her career today off of her looks! Look at my presence. My presence says that I got where I am by paying dues, getting ass kicking’s and giving ass kicking’s. This is what makes a wrestler Christy. This is what makes, something that you are not now, nor will ever be!”

Christy: “How dare you tell me what I am and what I am not! You’re going to stand there and tell me I didn’t pay any dues to get here? I’ve worked out in the gyms with everybody else. I’ve gone through extensive training to improve in the ring just like everybody else. I’ve even gotten a Women’s Title shot on the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania where I got my ass kicked and gave a hell of an ass kicking! So don’t you EVER tell me I’m not a wrestler bitch!”

Christy shoves Victoria who begins to laugh and circle the ring. Victoria then charges at Christy who takes Victoria down with a Spear. Victoria receives a barrage of slaps and right hands to the face from Christy until Victoria can roll over and pound away at Christy. Victoria pulls Christy up to her feet slams her face right into the mat very stiffly. Victoria repeatedly slams Christy’s face into the mat until her body goes limp. Victoria then pulls Christy up to her feet and puts her between Victoria’s legs.

Tyson Tomko vs. Rene Dupree

A fair brawl orientated match. Tomko really came off as the unrelenting bad ass. Dupree started the match off in his favor when he attacked Tomko as he tried to get in the ring, but when Dupree’s whip off the ropes was countered and he ran right into a big Flapjack, Tomko began to unleash his mean streak. Tomko mercilessly beat on Dupree until he tried to escape under the bottom rope, but Tomko just dragged him right back into the middle of the ring where he could continue his assault. Dupree had the advantage by the end though when Tomko missed the Chainsaw Kick and crotched himself on the top rope. Dupree put the boots to Tomko but when he went to whip Tomko, Tomko had already recovered and reversed, throwing Dupree into the referee and knocking them both out of the ring. Tomko exited the ring and began smashing Dupree’s head into the steel steps until Dupree could hit a low blow on the big man. Dupree slid back into the ring where he grabbed his Canadian Flag which was in the corner of the ring. Tomko slid back in the ring looking quite angry from the low blow but ran right into a Flag Shot to the head that put him down for a groggy-ref three.

Grisham: “Hurricane, Rosey, Stacy, tonight you two defend your World Tag Team Titles against the self-proclaimed, Masterpieces here on RAW, Snitsky and Chris Masters. Are you at all intimidated by the fact that these two individuals have the size, power, and psychotic advantages?”

Hurricane: “Holy cynicism citizen Grisham! The Hurricane and Rosey have been World Tag Team champions for just about six months now. Do you know why that is? Because I’ve got Hurri-Powers Beeyatch! The Hurricane and Rosey’s crime fighting is put on hold yet another night so we may triumph over another evil!”

Stacy: “This new evil of which my crime fighting associate speaks of is Chris Masters and Snitsky! Their evil has run amuck on RAW far too long, and it’s time we put a stop to all of it! We hope they’ve enjoyed their winning streak so far Citizen Grisham, because it ends tonight! Now, off to the ring!”

RAW's Super Heroes vs. The Masterpieces - World Tag Team Titles

This match was hard to watch. The Masterpieces brutally disected Hurricane and Rosey, picking them apart with their powerhouse moves. The audience was both shocked and disappointed that the size and power of Rosey would be nothing compared to their opponents. As Snitsky beat away at Rosey, Super Stacy tried to save the day by jumping up on the apron and wiggling her ass to distract Snitsky. Snitsky approached Stacy but shoved her off the apron with his boot on her back. The Hurricane seeing Super Stacy hurt received the hot tag from Rosey and leaped quite litterally into action. Hurricane climbed up on the top rope and dove off nailing Snitsky with a Flying Crossbody. Masters climbed into the ring but found himself on the receiving end of a Flying Clothesline. Rosey lifted Snitsky up for a Samoan Drop, and Hurricane hit him with a Spinning Neckbreaker. Masters then received a Shining Wizard to the face that left him down and out. Hurricane wasn’t done yet, as he decided to climb back up to the top rope. Rosey stood in front of The Hurricane as he stepped into Rosey’s hands and dove off with an Elevated Splash onto Snitsky for the three count! The crowd went nuts as did Hurricane, Rosey and Stacy who apparently weren’t as confident as they appeared in their interview. The three posed with the World Tag Team Titles as the camera faded out, ending the show.

A good opening match that got a lot of notice as the rookie Ashley showed a lot of improvement in the ring. Trish the veteran Diva really took it to Ashley and taught her some respect. Trish threw Ashley outside of the ring only a few minutes into the match and began throwing her into the barricades and steel ring posts. Trish had everything in her favor until she ran at Ashley and received a Drop Toe Hold, landing abdomen first onto the steel steps. Ashley threw Lillian Garcia out of her chair and folded it up. With Trish leaning over the steel steps, Ashley nailed Trish right in the spine with the steel chair. The referee immediately disqualified Ashley to which she responded by nailing the referee with the chair to the face. Trish pulled herself back into the ring, hurt and limping and tried to attack Ashley as she trash-talked the downed referee, but Lita, Ashley’s companion ran down the aisle and slid into the ring, attacking Trish and intercepting her. Lita and Ashley laid in some boots to the fallen Women’s champion before Lita spiked Trish’s head into the chair with the Snap DDT.

Kerwin: “I’m going to make you pay for that Benjamin.”

Benjamin: “How so? By attacking me in my match again? By screwing me out of another win that I so rightfully deserve!? I’ve got news for you Kerwin. I’m tired of it. So for tonight, I’ve got someone watching my back.”

Kerwin: “Oh, do you? Who might you have Shelton? Shaquille O’Neil? Wesley Snipes? I don’t really care who you have with you Shelton! If it isn’t white, then it isn’t right. That’s why you can’t pull up a win, not because I keep attacking you. So who is it? Who is it!?”

Benjamin points to behind Kerwin then walks away laughing. Kerwin turns around and his face goes pale as a ghost. The camera zooms out to see Kerwin looking up at The Most Electrifying Man In Sports-Entertainment - The Rock who’s shuffling from side to side with grin on his face.

The Rock: “Finally, The Rock, HAS COME BACK, to WWE RAW! It’s been a long time. Too damn long! Now you’ve got slim shady’s wannabe’s running around here. Who do you think you are? Hispanic Chris Rock? You think you can just snap your fingers and change your ethnicity. Where’s your pride in your heritage like The Rock? Tell me you little Roody Poo, what is your name?”

Kerwin: “Rock, we’ve worked together for a few years before you left for Hollywood. You know damn well who I am. I’m…”

The Rock: “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! You wanna run your mouth about how if it’s not white it’s not right, well I’ll tell you this if you mess with my boy Shelton again, The Rock is going to lay the Smackdown on you so hard, it may not be white but it’ll feel OH SO right! Let me tell you something, The Rock has worked his ass off to be the greatest entertainer in WWE History, and because he wasn’t white, because of jackasses like you running around like you’re the superior being, The Rock had to work ten times harder than anyone else! So believe me Kerwin, Chavo, Billy Bob, whatever the hell you’re calling yourselves these days, if you come out to the ring tonight The Rock is going to whoop your candy ass like never before! IF YOU SMEEEELLLLALALA! WHAT THE ROCK! Is cooking. Now get out of The Rock’s sight you sick FREAK!”

Carlito: “Welcome to Carlito’s Cabana. Carlito has his own Cabana for the same reason Carlito is undefeated as Intercontinental Champion - because I know cool. Carlito, I’m cool. My guest tonight, he’s not cool. Allow me to introduce to you the worst guest on my Cabana to date, The Japanese Buzzsaw, Tajiri.”

Tajiri comes down to the ring very shifty looking and enters the ring.

Carlito: “Tajiri, I hear that you’re convinced that you can take Carlito’s Intercontinental Title. Is that true?”

Carlito holds the microphone up to Tajiri’s mouth but before he can answer, he pulls the microphone away from him.

Carlito: “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

Again Carlito puts the microphone by Tajiri’s mouth but pulls it away before Tajiri can speak.

Carlito: “Oh I know. You’re just so intimidated by Carlito’s coolness that you can’t even speak. I understand. I get it. That’s ok Tajiri, you don’t need to talk, just listen. If you think you can take my Intercontinental Title, which by the way… is not cool, then…”

Carlito pulls out an apple and starts playing catch with himself with it. Carlito takes a large bite of his apple and chews it up as Tajiri and Carlito go eye to eye. Carlito leans back to spit but Tajiri spits first and Carlito ends up with a face full of the Green Mist. Tajiri drops Carlito with a stiff Buzzsaw Kick to the face that drops him as Carlito’s opponent, Shelton Benjamin, comes down to the ring.

Carlito low-bridged Benjamin two minutes into the match and tried to clear his eyes but Benjamin slid back into the ring and nailed Carlito with the T-Bone Suplex for the win.

This was a good technical styled wrestling match. Hurricane and Parisi really picked up the pace of the match, bringing a cruiserweight like style, while Val Venis and Rosey brought a lot of brawling chemistry to the match. With both teams being faces, the crowd was somewhat indifferent but the crowd agreed they were more than upset when The Heart Throbs, Antonio and Romeo ran down from the back and attacked The Hurricane and Val Venis for a double DQ. Antonio hit The Hurricane with a Doctor Bomb, then the two hit Val Venis with the Party Down. Johnny Parisi ran into the ring but received a double spine buster from The Heart Throbs. The two stomped away at the fallen Parisi until Rosey came in and floored Romeo. Rosey attacked Antonio then whipped him into the corner where he went for the corner splash, only for Antonio to drop Rosey with a Drop Toe Hold. Rosey’s head bounced off the second turnbuckle as The Heart Throbs regrouped, picked Rosey back up and crushed him with the Party Down before leaving.

Edge and Lita come down to the ring carrying Edge’s briefcase. The two climb into the ring and take a microphone from Lillian Garcia.

Edge: “Matt Hardy, I never thought you had it in you. I thought week in, and week out, I would just keep having my way with you… like I so often have my way with your girl. But you proved me wrong Matt. You finally grew some balls and decided to attack me last week! Good for you. From what I’ve heard their looking for a referee to keep us civil at Taboo Tuesday Matt. Nothing, and I mean nothing is going to keep me from you though. You can bank on that you son of a…”

Edge is cut off by a huge pop from the crowd as Matt Hardy dashes down the aisle and slides into the ring breaking into a pier six brawl. The two battled back and forth with right hands until four referee’s ran down and pulled the two apart. Hardy and Edge clubbed down the referee’s with right hands and then went back at it with right hands to one another’s faces. A handful of road agents and trainers then run down the aisle and try and tackle Edge and Matt Hardy, but the two are so determined that they break free of the agents and begin attacking them. Edge low blows one official then Spears another before throwing a third out of the ring threw the middle rope by the belt. In the mean-time Matt decks one trainer, then nails another with a Side-Effect and just plows down a third with a clothesline. Edge and Matt Hardy go back into their brawl until a swarm of police officers and security dash down the aisle and finally pull the two apart. Matt Hardy breaks free from their grasps for just a moment, which is all he needs to run over to Edge, attack him and hit the Twist Of Fate. Hardy begins yelling in Edge’s face as he’s handcuffed and dragged out of the ring and up the ramp way, looking like a total lunatic.

Stone Cold ain’t no pacifist Steph, I expect you to know that. Stone Cold raises hell, not stops it. You called Stone Cold in to do what he does best, which is raise hell, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. And that’s the bottom line. Because Stone Cold says so.”

Eugene claimed he’s working on his speaking skills so he can be as great a speaker as Ric Flair. Jericho and Big Show had a hell of a match that couldn’t be contained in the ring. Jericho worked on Big Show’s right leg through the whole match to try and weaken the monster for the Walls Of Jericho. Big Show used his size and power advantage to just try and keep the quick and agile Jericho away from him. Show and Jericho battled up the ramp way near the end of the match which resulted in Show lifting Jericho on his shoulder and trying to ram him into the entrance set, but Jericho slipped out the back and pushed Show off slamming his head into the entrance set. Jericho approached Eugene and slapped the taste out of his mouth, followed by slamming his head into the announce table. Jericho took Eugene’s headset and began trash talking him.

I mean bigger news then when your stocks go up 60%! I mean this is really big news I’ve got here. I’m on my way. Any week now, you can look to see me in the WWE ring. Now that, that’s a good deal wouldn’t you say? I get to come out and put on the performance of your miserable little poverty-stricken lives! You’ve got quite the big business opportunity on your way, don’t you? When I come you can either support me, sponsor me, and absolutely love me! Or… you can do the opposite, which is get in my way. Believe me, the last thing you want to do is get in my way. Bad things happen to people who get in my way. Lets face it, I know your secrets. I know your weaknesses. And I’ve got just what the doctor ordered - A fat, fat, wallet. To quote a legend, Everybody’s got a price. What’s yours audience? What will it take for me to get you to cheer for me? Five star matches? Lovable catchphrases? Money? I think it’s that one personally. Or will I just have to have love for me beat into you.”

Mark Henry steps on-screen, with his face right in the camera. Giddings’s voice can still be heard from behind Henry, as the big man snorts.

Giddings: “You gotta love business. You gotta love Donald Giddings. Or Else.”

Mark Henry’s hand grabs hold of the camera as it goes to static.

Triple H and Ric Flair vs. Eugene Dinsmore and John Cena

A match with a hell of a lot of atmosphere. The match started with Cena and Flair with Flair doing a lot of showboating to show off to Eugene. Flair got a little too cocky though when he floored Cena with a chop and did his “Woo!” in the face of Eugene, which gave Cena the opportunity to attack Flair. Cena laid in some punches and shoulder tackles before tagging in Eugene who gave the match some comical relief, copying all of Flair’s moves and taunts. Flair tagged out to Triple H who brought his mean streak to Eugene who quickly became the underdog. Flair and Triple H began to make quick tags working over Eugene, specifically his arm. The end came when Eugene got the hot tag to Cena. Cena knocked Triple H out of the ring with a Clothesline, then hit a big Back Body Drop on Flair, followed by the Throwback. Triple H ran back into the ring and attacked Cena from behind. The Game set Cena up for the Pedigree but Eugene spun him around and dropped him with the Stone Cold Stunner, which sent Triple H reeling into the F-U by Cena. Ric Flair came in to break up the soon-to-be-made pin but Eugene took him down with a double-leg-takedown and locked him in the Figure Four Leglock while Cena got the three. Triple H and Cena never got to actually fight one another for very long in this match which gives their first match at Taboo Tuesday more atmosphere. Triple H and Ric Flair limp up the ramp way as Eugene and Cena celebrate in the ring. Glass Shatters as Stone Cold comes from behind and attacks Triple H and Flair. Flair gets a body slam on the steel girder, followed by a kick between the legs. Triple H gets dragged down to the ring and thrown back in. Austin gets in the ring while Cena play a back and forth game of punches on Triple H. The Game groggily turns around into a Stone Cold Stunner. Beers get tossed all around but of course, Austin ends up laying out both Cena and Eugene with Stone Cold Stunners, which the crowd loved as he left with beers and middle fingers in the air.

Winners: Eugene and John Cena

Shawn Michaels vs. Rob Van Dam

The match started off with a collar-elbow tie-up which led to some leapfrogging by HBK and a shoulder tackle by Michaels. RVD began to break out his innovative counters such as dropping to the mat with a split while HBK leap-frogged him again, then hitting a Monkey Flip. HBK tried to come back with a boot to the gut, but RVD caught it and nailed HBK with a step over Spin Kick, followed by the Split-Legged Moonsault for very close two count. HBK brought things back into his favor as he came out with an Arm Wrench from out of nowhere. RVD rolled through, quite literally, and locked in an Arm Wrench of his own, which HBK countered with an Arm Drag that threw RVD out of the ring. As Van Dam regrouped on the outside, CM Punk ran down the aisle and attacked RVD from behind, throwing him into the steel steps. The referee rang the bell as Punk rolled RVD back into the ring, followed by the steel steps, and finally Punk himself. HBK and Punk stomped away at RVD before Punk pulled him up and threw him into the Sweet Chin Music. Punk locked Van Dam in the Anaconda Vice as HBK stomped on him. As Punk released his submission, HBK held down the leg of RVD as CM Punk lifted up the steel steps over his head. The crowd exploded when they heard the music of Olympic Hero, Kurt Angle who ran down the ramp and slid into the ring. Punk dropped the steps and went to attack Angle but received a big German Suplex. HBK then attacked Angle, but quickly got himself locked in the Angle Slam. Angle locked HBK in the Angle Lock but CM Punk gave Angle a boot to the side of the head to break it up. HBK rolled out of the ring as Angle hit the Angle Slam on Punk. Angle took down the straps, signaling for the Angle Lock once more but Vicki Adams pulled Punk out of the ring and helped him to the back.

The Mexicools vs. Jeremy Lopez, Silver Tyger, and Super Shiisa

Squash with a capitol S. Juvi, Super Crazy, and Psychosis clearly had nothing to do creatively so they were sent out to beat up jobbers tonight. Jeremy Lopez put up a little bit of a fight against Super Crazy, hitting a boot to the face when Crazy charged at him in the corner, followed by a sunset flip. Crazy and Psychosis brought out a lot of double team moves to the table, and formed as a cohesive unit while Juvi chilled in the corner. After a Top Rope Legdrop/Top Rope Moonsault combo on Silver Tyger, Psychosis tagged in Juvi who arrogantly covered Tyger for the three count.

Long: “Yeah, I bet you think their great playa.”

The door opens and in come Randy Orton and Eddie Guerrero who seem to be cheerful after last week’s trap for Batista.

Bischoff: “Eddie! Randy! It’s so good to see you guys. That attack on Batista last week - Brilliant! I couldn’t have done better myself.”

Eddie: “Orale! Thanks homes! It took a lot of planning ese.”

Randy: “Yeah, if it weren’t for my greatness, I don’t know if we could have pulled it off.”

Long: “Right, listen playas, I was thinking. That was a great plan last week that lead to the attack on Batista. In fact you guys worked so well as a team that I thought you might want to reenact it tonight. You two will be facing off against Batista in a handicap match!”

Randy: “Get out of here. Are you serious? Teddy, we didn’t get you anything!”

Eddie: “Thanks bro, that’s real big of you ese. Come on man, we got to go get ready for our match homes.”

Nunzio w/Big Vito vs. Paul London w/Hardcore Holly - Cruiserweight Title

Hardcore accompanies London to the ring to even the odds due to Nunzio having Vito. London and Nunzio kept things mostly mat based in this match, using a lot of armbars and such. Nunzio pounded away on the arm of London to get him ready for the Tornado Single Arm DDT. Nunzio played some dirty tactics by the end, throwing London shoulder first into the steel ring post. With Nunzio distracting the referee, Vito climbed up on the apron and grabbed London’s arm, hanging it across the top rope as he jumped down. Hardcore saw this and attacked Vito sending him to the ground with a barrage of right hands. With the referee distracted by this fight, MNM, Melina and Jillian Hall all jumped the barricade. Melina climbed into the ring and pointed to Nunzio, then made a camera motion. Nunzio turned around right into the Snapshot by MNM. The four then jumped back over the barricade and left as London made the cover for the three.

Holly pulled London back up to his feet, so he could flatten him with the Alabama Slam. Holly yelled some expletory words at London before spitting on the Cruiserweight Title and leaving.

Secret Admirer

Candice Michelle is sitting in a chair in the backstage area fixing her makeup in front of a large mirror. As she pulls her arm back from putting on her lipstick, her elbow knocks down a container full of lipsticks.

Candice: “Aww, man”

As she bends down to pick it up, a toolbox is hurled and smashes the mirror in front of her, knocking it off the table as Candice screams. Candice jumps up from her chair and walks around the table to see the shattered mirror and the toolbox thrown. The toolbox has a black piece of paper on it in the shape of a heart. She takes it off and opens it, reading it aloud.

Candice: “Your figure sickens me. I hate everything about you. Your eyes. Your hair. Your lips. Even your ample chest. You’re so perfect I needed to fix you. Become imperfect with me. Your Secret Admirer.”

Candice looks around looking worried, and fearing for her life.

William Regal w/Paul Mitchell vs. Heidenreich w/Road Warrior Animal

Heidenreich shows his monster side in this match and if it weren’t for Regal’s toughness built up in his early days in Blackpool England, he might not have lasted two minutes of this match. Regal took Heidenreich down from behind by the legs and locked him in a side-headlock but Heidenreich pulled himself to his feet and lifted Regal up, straddling him on the top turnbuckle. Heidenreich tried to climb up with him but Regal shoved him down. Regal dove off the top with possibly an attempt at a Double Axe Handle Smash, but got caught in a Bearhug, which after a small struggle, Regal escaped thanks to a rake to the eyes. Regal ran into a Side Slam by Heidenreich. Mitchell slid into the ring to try and attack the big man but ran right into a Big Boot to the face. Regal then tried to take out Heidenreich as he was caught off guard but was caught with a Spinning Sidewalk Slam for the three count. Mitchell attacked Heidenreich from behind as the bell rang but Animal slid into the ring as Heidenreich reversed an Irish Whip by Mitchell, throwing the Englishman into a Powerslam by Animal. The New Road Warriors floored Mitchell with a Doomsday Device, then picked up Regal and gave him one to match.

Winner: Heidenreich

So Close To The Change

On the Titan Tron we see a dark room lit by candles. We see the back of Aleister Dante carving something in the wall with a big knife. He then turns toward the camera and fiddles with the knife as he talks.

Dante: “This Sunday boys and girls. We’re so close. We’re so very, very, close. Anyone else this close to their debut would be hitting the gym, doing pushups, doing pull ups, doing sit ups, working on their physical appearance to please all of you mindless drones out there. Not me. Not Aleister Dante. I really couldn’t care less about whether or not in fit enough condition for you fans. Aleister Dante admits, I’m not 260 lbs. Of muscle. Aleister Dante admits, he is not 6’6”. Aleister Dante does admit to this though. Aleister Dante, is on his way. Aleister Dante is one of the top damn performers in the industry, whether I look it right now or not. Aleister Dante is bringing the change into WWE, who’s roster now comes off an assembly line. The tattoo’s, the muscles, the arrogance. It’s all there in each and every robot trying to please you imbeciles in the stands, and the ones at home. WWE… Smackdown… Aleister Dante, The Change, is coming. Are you ready for it? Are you ready for me? Guess what. I don’t care! I’m coming. The Change is coming. So says, Aleister Dante.”

A Grave Mistake

As we come back from commercial, Christian is standing in the set for The Peep Show.

Christian: “It’s good to see so many of my loving peeps love Captain Charisma again. I guess I was right. The way to reunite the Christian Coalition was take out one of the most dominating forces in the wrestling industry - The Undertaker. Well Dead Man, I have to personally thank you for being my sacrifice last week bitch! Now on to tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, I have not one, but two guests tonight! They are the experts on physical appearances. Tonight, The Captain is about to make it happen, as my guests tonight are Simon Dean and Steven Richards - The Health Inspectors!”

The Health Inspectors come down to the ring wearing their matching jumpsuits and matching short hair. They climb into the ring and grab a microphone each from the ring crew.

Simon Dean: “Christian, usually, I would come out here and offer you some of my patented, Simon System, but it looks as though you are in the best shape of your life.

Richards: “Christian, looking at you is like looking at a billboard for exactly what a prime specimen of fitness is supposed to look like. I hope all these fat slobs out here in the front row are taking a good close look at you because this is the closest they’ll ever be to being as in great as shape as you. And for all the cheapskates in the cheap seats who couldn’t even afford the Simon System if they had any intentions of getting thin, I hope they’re looking at you through their binoculars.”

Simon Dean: “In fact Christian, Steven and I both agree that we give you…”

Richards and Dean at the same time: “An A!”

Richards is cut short as the lights go out. Some commotion is heard going on in the ring as bodies are heard bouncing off the mat. After about a minute of darkness everything goes quiet and a loud gong is heard to a massive pop from the crowd. The gong is heard twice more before a purple light shines over the ring and we see The Health Inspectors are down and out with a Tombstone stood up between them. Written on the Tombstone is “RIP Christian. October 16, 2005” Which is the date of No Mercy. Christian stares intently at the Tombstone looking furious.

Before the Handicap match can start tonight, Eddie and Orton make their entrance followed by Batista who stops at the ring apron. Theodore Long’s music hits as he comes out on stage.

Long: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don’t climb in that ring just yet Batista. I told these two right here that this was going to be a handicap match, and you can bet your ass it’s going to be. But I didn’t say who had the handicap. This match… is a three-on-two handicap match! Now believe dat! Batista’s probably a little banged up from that brutal assault you two laid on him last week, so let’s bring out Batista’s partners here tonight! Holla, holla, holla!"

Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton vs. Batista, Axl Rotten, and Brad Mahoney

Axl Rotten and Brad Mahoney fight most of this match for Batista who’s covered in bandages and gauze. Mahoney and Axl bring a good fight to Eddie and Orton, but also take a stiff beating, being ECW spot monkeys. Frequently in the match, Eddie and Orton would hit a double team on either Axl or Mahoney and would begin to trash talk Batista. The end came when Orton hit a Superplex on the illegal man, Axl Rotten, followed by a Frog Splash by the legal man, Eddie Guerrero. The legal man, Brad Mahoney staggered over to Orton who went for the RKO, but got shoved off at the last second, allowing Mahoney to make the INCREDIBLY SCORCHING hot tag to Batista. The Animal entered the ring and began clearing house on Eddie and Orton with right hands, back elbows, Side Slams, and Back Body Drops. Batista whipped Guerrero into the corner then threw Orton right into Eddie. Orton staggered back over to Batista where he received a huge Spinebuster. Eddie then staggered over to Batista where The Animal laid him out with a Batista Bomb for the three count.

Does Size Really Matter?

Rey Mysterio’s music hits as he comes down to the ring. Rey climbs in the ring and takes a microphone from the ring crew.

Rey: “Is there anything that can stop Rey Mysterio? I don’t’ think there is. Last week, The Undertaker tried to sacrifice me, only to realize… I’m Rey Mysterio! The Undertaker never, ever beat me 1... 2... 3. And lets take a look at the week before, but first, let me make this a little more interesting. I’d like the wife of the biggest loser in this business, to please come down to the ring. Sharmell, honey, I’m talking about you.”

Sharmell comes down to the ring looking quite frustrated with Rey’s antics. She climbs in as Rey points to the Titan-Tron.

Rey: “Sharmell, lets take a look, just you and me, at what I did to your husband two weeks ago. Lets take a look as to why he couldn’t touch me last week.”

As if the three count wasn’t enough, JBL then signaled for someone from the back to come down. Orlando Jordan and Rey Mysterio ran down from the back and slid into the ring. Rey and Orlando held Booker up as JBL yelled at Booker, calling him Benoit and striking him with right hands to the face. Sharmell screamed in horror until JBL signaled to Orlando to silence her. Orlando brought Sharmell into the ring and held her still so she had to watch Booker suffer. JBL nailed Booker T with a massive Powerbomb, as Rey Mysterio brought in a steel chair. Rey gave the chair to JBL and exited the ring. After a couple shots to the ribs with the chair, JBL placed the chair on Booker’s face, which set Booker up for a Springboard Legdrop by Rey onto the chair, onto his face. JBL, Rey, and Orlando all celebrated in the ring as the camera faded out.

Grenier came out to no interview tonight and just got it on with Funaki in the middle of the ring. Funaki played the underdog to Grenier who had the clear size and power advantage. Grenier spent a lot of the match working over Funaki’s ribs, dropping him chest first in the turnbuckles and ropes, and various slams. Funaki was whipped into the corner by Grenier who charged after but got a boot to the face. Funaki pulled himself up to the second rope and dove off to catch Grenier with the Tornado DDT, only to get thrown off into a faceplant in the middle of the ring. Grenier grabbed Funaki with a waistlock from behind and ran forward with him, bouncing him chest first off the ropes and rolling him backwards with a pin, holding the tights for leverage for the three.

Holly: “Josh, let me tell you something right now. I don’t need to explain myself to anyone, at any time, about anything. This isn’t for the fans’ ears, its for Paul’s. Paul, truth be told, I meant to hit you last week, screwing you out of your match. I loved doing it too Paul! Frankly, you don’t deserve the TV time. You’re a waste of marketing London! Get your ass off of Hardcore Holly’s program! Hardcore Holly is three times as entertaining as you are London, on the mic, in the ring, and the fans get glued into every one of my matches. My matches are the stuff directors write movies on London, their not just a bunch of jumping, flipping, and damn near getting myself killed like your matches! You and all you Cruiserweights a-like think you’re so damn tough. You Cruiserweights aren’t half the man I am, literally! Bring your ass down to this ring Paul, I’ll show you how a real man, not an circus acrobat drop-out wrestles!”

Paul London vs. Hardcore Holly

Hardcore opened the match off with a lot of right hands that backed London into the corner where Holly stomped away at London. Holly whipped London into the other corner with such velocity Holly fell over. Holly then took the match into a little more technical, unloading with chops to the chest and an Abdominal Stretch. London countered with a hip toss and took the match in his favor. London brought out a lot of flips, rolls, and aerial attacks that seemed to only piss Holly off more, especially when he got a pop for it. Holly brought things back in his favor when he leveled London with a Dropkick and began to play dirty, especially with his Top Rope Elevated, “Kick To The Mid-Section” which was clearly below the belt. Holly pounded away on London for the rest of the match with London pulling off some counters here and there that got big pops, but couldn’t hold the favor of the match. Finally after a Dropsault by London, Paul went up top for the 450 but Holly, seeing it coming, rolled out of the ring and walked up the ramp as the referee counted him out in a disappointing ending. London was awarded the victory and enjoyed it thoroughly, seeing it as a win for all the little guys.

Heat:

Date: October 16, 2005

Josh Matthews and Al Snow are in their hype studio with signs and posters for No Mercy everywhere.

Matthews: “Welcome fans of all genders, races, and ages to the preview of WWE Smackdown Presents: No Mercy.”

Snow: “You know Joshua, No Mercy is going to be absolutely crazy. It’s going to be explosive. It’s going to be off the wall with twists and turns at every turn. Lets take a look at our tag team title, number one Contendership, broad in a cage match!”

Matthews: “Very unique rules, I must say. Jillian Hall will be locked inside a small cage. Three feet wide, 3 feet long, and 6 feet high. The cage will be suspended 13 feet above the ring. The only way to win is going to be to climb a ladder and unlock the cage for Jillian Hall.”

Snow: “That’s right. The winner, receives Jillian Hall’s services, and the Number One Contendership to the Tag Team Titles."

A hype video is played for Amore Da Odiare vs. MNM. We’re shown Nunzio’s Cruiserweight Title match, the constant attacks backstage with Jillian Hall’s involvement, and the Italian Street Fight.

Matthews: “As brutal as that tag team match is going to be, the next tag match has a lot on the line as well.”

Snow: “Tag team titles on the line Joshua! The New Road Warriors, Heidenreich and the original, the classic, the vintage, Road Warrior Animal, vs. The Red Coats - William Regal, a veteran fighter from Blackpool England, and his student perhaps, Paul Mitchell, also from England. These two make up quite the impressive team, wouldn’t you say?”

Matthews: “I suppose so Al, but really, I think it’s more Mitchell doing all the work. In the tag matches that The Red Coats have been in together, I think Regal’s been taking advantage of Mitchell’s dominating force.”

Snow: “Well Joshua, no kidding. If I had someone like that on my side I would take advantage of it to. That’s how you win.”

A hype video is played for the Red Coats vs. New Road Warriors match for the tag team titles. We see Regal scouting for a tag partner until Mitchell asserts himself as his partner. We see The Red Coats win the tag team titles, and the two singles matches between the partners of the tag teams.

Snow: “Man, that Mitchell is a monster!”

Matthews: “He sure is Al. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got to take a quick commercial break, but we’ll be right back! Don’t touch that dial!”

Snow: “Joshua, nobody uses a dial anymore. Everyone has a remote control now you idiot. But just as a reminder, WWE Smackdown Presents, No Mercy is right around the corner. DON’T FORGET TO CAST YOUR VOTES ON WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN AT WWE.COM!”

::Fade To Commercial::

Matthews: “Welcome back, one and all. Al, would you say Orlando Jordan’s been a good US Champion?”

Snow: “Better than you could ever be Josh.”

Matthews: “Fair enough. What do you think of his opponent Doug Basham tonight? Do you think he’s up for the challenge?”

Snow: “Well Joshua, that’s a good question. Both Basham and Jordan have worked together in JBL’s cabinet for quite a while so they probably know each other in-and-out, but I just don’t think Basham, though he has been on a mean streak as of late, is ready for a title as prestige as the US Championship.”

We see a hype video for the Doug Basham vs. Orlando Jordan - Ex-Cabinet vs. Current-Cabinet/US Title match. We see Basham challenge Jordan, beat him in a non-title match, and cost him a handicap match.

Matthews: “Look like things are getting pretty personal between Doug Basham and Orlando Jordan, but all scores are going to be settled tonight!”

Snow: “Is there a match more personal than this next one though Joshua? Rey Mysterio, a changed man targeted Booker T to show size doesn’t matter, and that he can be a threat to the World Heavyweight Title.”

A hype video is played for the Booker T vs. Rey Mysterio match. We see Rey’s change in persona gradually over time, then his attack on Christian which lead to attacking Booker T when he congratulated him. We see Booker’s attack on Rey, and finally Rey’s Legdrop onto the chair onto Booker’s face that made him miss a week of action.

::Fade To Commercial::

Snow: “Well boys and girls, we’ve got to take our second commercial break of the night, but we’ll be right back! Same Snow time! Same Snow channel!”

Matthews: “Right, that’s all important Al, but what’s even more important is that you fans out there cast your votes on your predictions on tonight’s event.”

::Fade To Commercial::

Matthews: “Al, are you one of Christian’s peep?”

Snow: “You know I am Joshua. I’m a huge Christian fan! I love Captain Charisma. I help him answer fan-mail every once and a while you know.”

Matthews: “Well it seems as though tonight he’s hit a dead end when he goes one on one against The Phenom, The Undertaker.”

Snow: “I don’t know Joshua, I think my boy Christian has a damn good chance of putting The Dead Man back in his grave. Let’s take a look.”

We take a look at a hype video that shows Christian’s speech announcing the peeps no longer respect him which brings out The Undertaker to make Christian famous. We then see Christian attacking The Undertaker and his heinous car crash. Finally we see The Undertaker’s return from the dark side on Christian’s Peep Show.

Snow: “You know Joshua, tonight at No Mercy, tonight’s all about surprises. I’ve been guaranteed that tonight we’ll see a big surprise when JBL takes on Chris Benoit.”

Matthews: “That’s right. The whole Smackdown locker room will have their eyes on this match. If Chris Benoit wins, Theodore Long keeps control of Smackdown and if John Bradshaw Layfield wins, Eric Bischoff takes control of Smackdown. I shudder the thought of working for Bischoff Al.”

Snow: “I don’t know, Eric’s not such a bad guy. But I think this match is more personal for Chris Benoit because of all the attacks JBL’s educed on him. For the past few weeks Benoit’s been trying to send a message to JBL, by any means necessary.”

We see a hype video for the JBL/Bischoff vs. Chris Benoit/Long - Control Of Smackdown match. We see JBL destroying Benoit to make an example out of him, and Benoit’s attacks ever since.

Matthews: “We’re less than a half an hour away now from No Mercy Al!”

Snow: “Whoa! Hold on! Slow down! We haven’t even talked about the most important match tonight, or one of the most at least, the World Heavyweight Title match!”

Matthews: “Well Al, it’s going to have to wait because we have to take our last commercial break of the night! Folks at home, please, please, cast your votes and predictions on who you think will win tonight.”

Snow: “Come on back! We’ll be here!”

::Fade To Commercial::

Matthews: “It all comes down to tonight Al. All the games, all the trickery, all the deceit, it all ends tonight at No Mercy.”

Snow: “In one corner, you’ve got the Legend Killer, who’s destroyed Legend, among Legend, among Legend! Orton’s gone up against the best of them and one by one, he’s killed them all. He’s my personal pick for tonight.”

Matthews: “In the other corner, you’ve got the lying, the cheating, and the stealing, Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero’s been extra sneaky since he finally beat Rey Mysterio for ownership of Dominic, Rey Mysterio’s son.”

Snow: “But you can’t count out the World Heavyweight Champion, The Animal, Batista! Batista won the title on the biggest stage of them all! WrestleMania XXI! The Animal defeated one of the best in the industry today, the ten time WWE Champion, The Game, Triple H. Batista has yet to lose the title since. He’s been unstoppable. He’s been relentless! He’s been a force to be reckoned with."

We see the final hype video, for the Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Randy Orton - World Heavyweight Title match. We see Guerrero and Orton arguing about who would face Batista. We see Eddie’s attack on Batista and Batista throwing Orton through a window. We see Batista costing Guerrero and Orton the tag team titles, the three-on-two handicap match and the trap set by Orton and Guerrero to attack Batista.

Matthews: “Well, that’s all our time here tonight. Don’t forget to cast your votes on who you think will win tonight’s matches at WWE.com!”

Snow: “We hope you’ve enjoyed our commentary tonight, and we hope you enjoy are match up here tonight on Heat. It’s going to be brutal! After Victoria accused Christy Hemme of not being a real wrestler last week on Heat, Christy took it personal and attacked Victoria!”

Matthews: “Tonight, Christy and Victoria settle the score one on one. See you later boys and girls!”

Snow: “And I’ll see you all again very, very, soon! Snow signing off!”

Christy Hemme vs. Victoria

Christy showed her most violent side since her debut, coming out with every wrestling move she knows on Victoria. The crowd was even shocked to see Christy knew how to counter the Widow’s Peak, but slipping out the back door and rolling up Victoria with a schoolboy, or should I say schoolgirl pin. Victoria did manage do floor Christy where she could kick her continually in the ribs and lock in some brutal looking submissions but Christy managed to get to the ropes to everyone’s surprise. This was undoubtedly Christy’s best match in her career, and she even scored the win when Victoria whipped her into the corner and charged after her but Christy did a split on the top rope and rolled into a Sunset Flip on Victoria that scored the three. While the crowd was somewhat unimpressed with the finish, Christy did make an impact when Victoria began arguing with the referee that it was only a two count, floored him with a right hand and began to kick him in the ribs. Christy slid into the ring, got right behind Victoria, and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her backwards and spiking her into the mat with a Reverse DDT.

Winner: Christy Hemme

Amore Da Odiare vs. MNM w/Melina - Number One Contendership + Jillian Hall’s Services

Amore Da Odiare come out first to a small pop from the crowd. MNM come out next to some heat but Melina’s entrance of course gets a huge pop. Before the match starts each team looks around the ring to see the various ladders on their side leaned up against the barricades. The cage holding Jillian Hall is lowered from the ceiling catching all four men’s attention. As all four competitors look at Hall, MNM make the first strike, both attacking Amore Da Odiare with right hands. MNM stereo Irish Whip the Italians but both Mercury and Nitro get knocked down with a Clothesline. Nunzio picks up Mercury and tosses him over the top rope, then climbs up to the top rope himself. Nunzio dives off onto Mercury with a Crossbody while Vito slams Nitro with a Scoop Slam, then drops an elbow onto his chest. Vito exited the ring and grabbed a ladder from the barricade. Vito placed it on the ring apron but Nitro delivered a Baseball Slide that knocked the ladder into Vito’s face. Nunzio pulled himself up to his feet and slid into the ring as Nitro pulled the ladder into the center of the ring. Nunzio fired off some right hands followed by chops to the chest to Nitro. Nunzio goes to whip Nitro off the ropes but Nitro reverses going for a short-arm Clothesline, which Nunzio ducks and turns into a Neckbreaker. Nunzio picks up the ladder and sets it up under the cage of the dangling Jillian Hall. Nunzio gets two steps up onto the ladder before Mercury slides into the ring and pulls him back down by the tights. Mercury slams Nunzio’s head into the ladder then whips him into the corner of the ring. Nitro gets up and whips Mercury, who reverses, throwing Nunzio into a Clothesline that sandwiches Nunzio in the corner. Vito slides back into the ring and plows down both MNM members with a Double Clothesline. Vito folds up the ladder and lifts it onto his shoulder. Mercury pulls himself to his feet but gets the top step of the ladder ran right into his face. Nitro gets up next but is knocked down by the side of the ladder as Vito spins around smacking it into the head of Nitro. Vito sets the ladder up, but in the corner of the ring where it couldn’t be used to reach Jillian Hall. Nunzio runs over and begins to climb up the ladder while Vito lifts Mercury up onto his shoulders for an Electric Chair Drop. Nunzio dives off about half-way up the ladder hitting Mercury with a Dropkick that knocks him off Vito’s shoulders. Nitro drops down behind Vito and scores with a low blow. Nunzio charges towards Nitro but receives a Drop Toe Hold that serves as a Splash onto Vito. Nitro sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and quickly begins climbing it. Mercury slides out of the ring and grabs another ladder, sliding it into the ring. Nunzio and Vito both see Nitro climbing the ladder and decide a risky maneuver. Vito holds out his palms as Nunzio charges towards him, serving as a rocket launcher. Nunzio is thrown up into the air by Vito who tackles Nitro off the ladder. Mercury gives Vito a shot to the gut with the top step of the ladder and drops it down in front of him. Mercury sets Vito up for a Piledriver, but Vito drops down and scores with a low blow on Mercury. Nunzio walks over to Vito who lifts him up for a Back Drop but drops Nunzio forward, causing him to hit an elevated Sicilian Slice on Mercury, onto the ladder. Nunzio and Vito set up both ladders side-by-side in the middle of the ring and begin climbing them. MNM get up and begin climbing the opposite sides. All four competitors are battling it out on the top of the ladders with Hall watching from above. Vito puts his foot on the ladder beside him and shoves it down causing Nunzio and Nitro to fall over, both being straddled on the top rope and falling out of the ring. Vito and Mercury exchange right hands before Mercury scores a rake to the eyes. Mercury climbs up to the very top of the ladder and begins to unlock all the locks on Jillian’s door. Jillian pulls something out of her pocket and points it at Mercury. Hall sprays mace in the eyes of Mercury who falls off the ladder, landing on the mat with a sickening thud. Vito climbs up to the top and unlocks the door, helping Jillian out. Jillian and Vito share a dramatic, B-Movie kiss at the top of the ladder before coming down where Nunzio, Vito, and now Jillian Hall all celebrate.

Michael Cole: “What an amazing ladder match that was Tazz!”

Tazz: “It sure was a rocket buster Cole! It’ll be hard for the next match to follow that up.”

Michael Cole: “Next we’ve got our tag team title match. The Red Coats in one corner vs. The New Road Warriors in the other corner. Check it out.”

A hype video is played for the Red Coats vs. New Road Warriors match for the tag team titles. We see Regal scouting for a tag partner until Mitchell asserts himself as his partner. We see The Red Coats win the tag team titles, and the two singles matches between the partners of the tag teams.

The Red Coats vs. New Road Warriors - WWE Tag Team Titles

The New Road Warriors come out first to a dull response from the crowd. The Red Coats don’t get much heat either, and this had to be the most crowd-quiet matches of the night. Regal and Heidenreich started off the match with a staredown, circling the ring. Regal and Heidenreich lock horns with a Collar-Elbow Tie Up which Regal looks like he was going to win as he began backing Heidenreich into the corner, but the big man just threw Regal backwards, sending him flying. Heidenreich urged Regal to try again and the two did lock up once more in a grapple, which Regal turned into a Side Headlock. Heidenreich threw Regal off the ropes but when Regal came back off the ropes he ran right into the brick wall that was Heidenreich which knocked him down. Regal turned away like he was going to tag out but then spun back around and clocked Heidenreich, which in turn was a bad move as Heidenreich floored Regal with a big Clothesline. Heidenreich picked Regal back up and hit a big Pendulum Backbreaker, covering him for a two count. Heidenreich tagged out to Animal who whipped Regal off the ropes. Animal bent down for a Back Body Drop, but Regal caught him with a kick to the face. Regal gave Animal several forearms to the back until he turned back towards Regal, who gave him several shots to the face with his knees, ending with a jumping Double Knee Lift that knocked him down. Regal covered Animal for a two count then dragged him over to his corner where he tagged out to Mitchell. Mitchell came in and gave Animal a few stomps to the chest and ribs. Mitchell picked up Animal and whipped him into the corner so hard he bounced out into a Northern Lights Suplex by Mitchell for a two count. Mitchell locked Animal in a Fujiwara Armbar that looks brutal. The torque Mitchell had on Animal made it appear as though he would tap out quickly. Heidenreich entered the ring and gave Mitchell a stomp to the side of the head, breaking the submission. Mitchell dragged Animal over to his corner and tagged out to Regal who came in and as Mitchell held his arm, Regal gave Animal’s arm several left hands. Regal took Animal down with a stiff Arm Wrench Takedown, and followed it up with a knee to the back of the arm. Regal begins to wave to the crowd but as he turns back around Animal floors him with a big Shoulder Tackle. Animal tried to crawl to his corner but Regal made it to his first who tagged in Mitchell. Mitchell grabbed Animal by the foot and dragged him back into the middle of the ring where he hit a Standing Moonsault onto Animal’s arm. Animal rolled around in agony until Mitchell pinned him for a two count. Mitchell ran over and slapped Heidenreich right in the face which brought the big man in to distract the referee. Regal ran into the ring and as Mitchell held out Animal’s arm, Regal gave it several Double Axe Handles, left hands, and elbow shots before Regal left again. Mitchell dragged Animal into his corner and tagged in Regal, then lifted Animal onto his shoulders for an Electric Chair Drop. Regal climbed up to the top rope, possibly looking to mimic the Doomsday Device. Animal gave Mitchell several right hands to the top of the head, causing him to fall down. Animal landed on his feet then grabbed Regal who was on the top rope. Animal launched Regal off the top rope, causing him to crash into Paul Mitchell. Animal ran over to his corner and tagged in Heidenreich who began clearing house with right hands. Regal charged at Heidenreich but received a Back Body Drop. Mitchell ran at Heidenreich and received the same. Regal then ran into a big Scoop Slam. Mitchell then ran into a Big Boot to the face. Heidenreich dished out some right hands to Regal then whipped him into the corner. Heidenreich then whipped Mitchell into Regal who collided with one another. Mitchell staggered right into the Swinging Sidewalk Slam by Heidenreich. Heidenreich signaled to Animal who lifted Regal up onto his shoulders for an Electric Chair Drop. The New Road Warriors had Regal set up for the Doomsday Device. Mitchell saved Regal though by hitting a chop block to the back of Animal’s leg, causing him to drop Regal. Mitchell shook the ropes that caused Heidenreich to straddle himself on the top turnbuckle. Mitchell climbed up to the top rope with Heidenreich and set him up for a Rock Bottom. Regal pulled out his brass knuckles while the referee threatened Mitchell to leave. Regal nailed Animal with the brass knuckles that left him out cold. Mitchell did a back flip holding Heidenreich, hitting his patented C-4. Regal dove onto Heidenreich making the cover for the three count. The Red Coats were awarded the tag team titles as they put on their Red Coats.

Michael Cole: “Well next up we have our US Title Match Tazz. We’ve got the ex-Cabinet Member Doug Basham taking on the current Cabinet Member of JBL, Orlando Jordan. Lets take a look at how this all started.”

We see a hype video for the Doug Basham vs. Orlando Jordan - Ex-Cabinet vs. Current-Cabinet/US Title match. We see Basham challenge Jordan, beat him in a non-title match, and cost him a handicap match.

Doug Basham vs. Orlando Jordan - US Title

The crowd knew this was going to be quite the skilled match with each opponent knowing each other very well. Orlando Jordan came out first with his US Title to quite the bit of heat. Doug Basham came out next to a small smark pop from those who respect his craft. The two go nose to nose and begin trash talking one another that results in Orlando slapping the taste out of Basham’s mouth. Basham then floors Jordan with a stiff right hand. Basham picks Jordan up and whips him off the ropes. Jordan ducks a Clothesline by Basham, but gets caught with a Spinning Heel Kick by Basham on the way back. Basham makes a quick cover but only gets two. Doug Basham lifts up Jordan and throws him into the corner where he unleashes a bombardment of slaps and chops to the chest. Basham whips Jordan into the other corner and charges after him, but Jordan throws him into the air with a Back Body Drop, but Basham lands on the apron. Jordan turns around into a shoulder to the gut by Basham through the middle rope. Basham leaps over the top rope with a Sunset Flip, but Jordan seeing it coming dropped down on top of Basham and grabbed hold of the middle rope for leverage but Basham kicked out at two. Jordan gave Basham a kick to the gut and set him up for a Butterfly Powerbomb, but Basham gave Jordan a Back Body Drop. Jordan refused to unleash Basham’s hooked arms as the referee counts to two. Jordan pulls himself up and turns Basham back around for the Butterfly Suplex, but Basham pulls one arm free and locks Jordan in an Arm Wrench, then pulls Jordan into a Short-Armed Clothesline. Basham covered Jordan for a two count but to no avail. Basham picked Jordan up, but the armature Boxer began firing off right hooks to the body of Basham. Jordan then began his Johnson Shuffle, connecting with the final punch and covering Basham for a two count. Orlando climbs up to the top rope and waits for Basham to make it back up to his feet. Jordan dives off for a Crossbody, but Basham ducks it and Jordan kisses the mat. Jordan pulls himself to his feet, holding his ribs but turns around right into the Rydeen bomb. Basham covered Jordan as the crowd counted with the referee as Jordan kicked out at the very last second before the three. Basham picked up Jordan who out of nowhere grabbed Basham and pulled him down to the mat with the Blackout, leaving both men down and out. Jordan threw his arm across Basham’s chest but Basham got his foot on the bottom rope at two. Jordan picked up Basham and gave him an Irish Whip into the corner where the referee was but Basham stopped himself an inch from hitting the referee causing each to be relieved that there was no collision. Jordan slid behind Basham and rolled him up with a Schoolboy as the referee dove over to them to see Basham’s shoulders down for the three. Of course what the referee failed to see was Jordan holding Basham’s tights, but either way Jordan retained the US Title.

Tazz: “Jordan was taught damn well Cole. He knew exactly how to score the win, whether you agree with it or not.”

Michael Cole: “Ladies and gentlemen our next match is going to be a huge clash of styles.”

Tazz: “That’s right. You’ve got the street-fighting style of Booker T, and the now-psychotic, luchadore style of Rey Mysterio. Let’s see how this rocket buster was set up.”

A hype video is played for the Booker T vs. Rey Mysterio match.

We see Booker’s attack on Rey, and finally Rey’s Legdrop onto the chair onto Booker’s face that made him miss a week of action.

Booker T w/Sharmell vs. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio makes his entrance first to the most amount of heat of the night. Booker made his entrance next accompanied by Sharmell. Before Booker could fully slide into the ring under the bottom rope, Mysterio hit a baseball slide that sent Booker back down to the floor. Since Booker never fully entered the ring, the didn’t sound just yet. Rey waited on the apron for Booker to pull himself back up, then hit an Asai Crossbody. Rey got back up quickly and gave Booker a few stomps to the face that sent him rolling over to the ring. Booker tried to pull himself up via the steel steps, but Rey gave him a Dropkick to the head that slammed it into the steps. Rey went to pick Booker up, but Booker shoved him off, sending him a good distance. Booker walked the opposite direction, holding his head from the steel steps Dropkick. Rey charges at Booker and hooked him up for a Flying Headscissors, but spun quite a bit before releasing him, sending him flying face first into the steel ring post.

Booker then covered Rey for a two count to his dismay. Booker locked Rey in a Surfboard which Rey refused to tap out to.

Rey however rolled right out of the pin and scored with a Dropkick to the face of the seated Booker T.

Rey walked over to the opposing corner of the ring and gave Booker a D-X “Suck It” gesture before charging at him and riding him with the Bronco Buster. Rey got off of Booker and began choking him with his boot. When the referee separated the two Booker used that time to pull himself back up to his feet.

Aleister Dante ran down the aisle and slid into the ring. Booker turned around right into a Jumping Spinning Roundhouse Enziguri-Type Kick to the face that left Booker with his lights out, and bleeding from the mouth. Dante slid out of the ring and left, back up the ramp way. Rey, seeing the downed Booker T, climbed outside onto the apron and hit the Dropping The Dime for the three count.

Undertaker completes his entrance and as he hands his garnishing to the ring crew, Christian strikes him from behind. Christian grabs a hold of The Undertaker’s head and turns him towards him as he unleashes right hand after right hand.

Still, Christian refused to tap but Captain Charisma did pass out to which the referee had to call for the bell. Undertaker was declared the winner, but before he left he knelt down on one knee and raises Christian’s limp hand in victory.

John Bradshaw Layfield w/Eric Bischoff vs. Chris Benoit w/Theodore Long - Control Of Smackdown

“Whatever” by Our Lady Peace hits as Chris Benoit makes his way down to the ring to a big pop from the crowd. Benoit tonight is accompanied by the current Smackdown GM, Theodore Long who stands in Chris Benoit’s corner on the outside of the ring. “Longhorn” JBL’s music, hits as the horned white limo pulls out onto the stage. The chauffer opens the limo door and out steps John Bradshaw Layfield, followed by his Chief of Staff, Orlando Jordan, and finally Eric Bischoff. JBL tries to strike first as he hands his ten-gallon hat to the ring crew then dashes towards Benoit. Benoit dodges the attack and JBL bounces sternum first off the top turnbuckle. Benoit takes JBL down and quickly locks him in the Crossface, much to Theodore Long’s enjoyment. JBL quickly grabs hold of the ropes much to Eric Bischoff’s relief, causing Benoit to break the submission. Benoit picks up JBL and gave him several echoing backhanded chops to the exposed chest. Benoit kept chopping at JBL’s chest until he was beat red. Benoit whipped JBL into the opposing corner and chased after him. JBL hit the opposing corner then charged at the charging Benoit, going for a Clothesline, which Benoit ducked and hit JBL with a release German Suplex. JBL went into convulsions when he landed and rolled out of the ring to catch his breath. Chris Benoit showed why he was called the Rabid Wolverine though, as he didn’t let JBL catch his breath, instead bounced off the ropes and dove through the middle rope to tackle JBL. Bischoff ran around to the other side of the ring and jumped up on the apron to distract the referee while Orlando Jordan attacked Benoit from behind. Jordan slammed Benoit’s face into the steel steps, then threw him back into the ring. JBL climbed into the ring and and hit Benoit with a Neckbreaker for a two count. JBL whipped Benoit off the ropes, but Benoit ducked a Clothesline. Benoit dove at JBL for a Crossbody, but JBL caught him and gave him a Last Call that sent him flying over the top rope to the ground below. Jordan went to attack Benoit again but got locked in the Crippler Crossface. JBL seeing the comotion climbed to the outside and gave Benoit a boot to the back of the head to break the submission. JBL picked Benoit up and threw him face first into the steel ring post. Benoit’s forehead was now gushing blood. Benoit was tossed into the ring by JBL who followed and covered the Rabid Wolverine for a two. JBL lifted Benoit up and set him up for the Powerbomb, signaling with his hands for it. Benoit tripped JBL and locked him in the Sharpshooter, again, much to Theodore Long’s delight. JBL pulled and fought until he made his way to the ropes where the referee told Benoit to break the submission. Eric Bischoff jumped on the apron and started yelling at Benoit but Benoit knocked him off the apron with a right hand. The referee leaned over the ropes to check on Eric Bischoff but in that short period of time, JBL gave Benoit a low blow. JBL followed this up with a DDT and a cover for a very close two. JBL lifted Benoit up and slammed him back down with a huge Powerbomb but again, only got a two count. JBL went to the outside and threw Tony Chimmel out of his seat, grabbing his steel chair and folding it up. JBL climbed into the ring with the chair and waited for Benoit to get up. JBL charged at Benoit with the chair, but Benoit dodged the shot and hit one German Suplex, Two German Suplex, A Hat Trick German Suplex. Benoit climbed up to the top rope and dove off nailing a perfect Swandive Headbutt. Benoit draped his arm over JBL but the Wrestling God kicked out at two. Benoit signaled for the end which Orlando Jordan didn’t like the sound of. OJ climbed into the ring but got cracked over the head with the steel chair by Benoit. Benoit dropped the chair and lifted up JBL’s legs, trying to go for the Sharpshooter, but JBL pushed Benoit off and he was sent flying into the referee, knocking him down and out. JBL charged at Benoit but got taken down and locked in the Crossface. JBL tapped out rapidly, not being able to take it until Eric Bischoff came in and gave Benoit a kick to the back to break the submission. Theodore Long slid into the ring and tackled Bischoff, pounding away at him with right hands. Benoit pulled Long off and locked Bischoff in the Sharpshooter. Bischoff screamed and squirmed but there was no one that could help him. Out of the crowd leaped surprisingly AL SNOW who slid into the ring, and grabbed the steel chair. Benoit released the Sharpshooter but was too slow to stop Snow who had just smacked Benoit right across the head with the chair. Snow then jumped out of the ring and helped Bischoff out. The already bloodied Benoit was down and out from the chair shot. JBL made it to his feet and picked Benoit up, trying to steady him. Once JBL helped Benoit to his feet, the Wrestling God bounced off the ropes and plowed him back down with the Clothesline From Hell. The referee awoke and counted the three, awarding Eric Bischoff the new position of General Manager to Smackdown!

Tazz: “What the hell is Al Snow doing? Why has he sold out Theodore Long?”

Michael Cole: “That damn Eric Bischoff must be behind it! Folks, Smackdown is in for some huge changes, many of which we might not like, but up next is our World Heavyweight Title match.”

Tazz: “This one has got so much riding on it Cole, I’m telling you.”

We see the final hype video, for the Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Randy Orton - World Heavyweight Title match. We see Guerrero and Orton arguing about who would face Batista. We see Eddie’s attack on Batista and Batista throwing Orton through a window. We see Batista costing Guerrero and Orton the tag team titles, the three-on-two handicap match and the trap set by Orton and Guerrero to attack Batista.

Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero vs. Randy Orton - World Heavyweight Title

The first entrance in the match is none other than “Legend Killer” Randy Orton. Orton makes his way to the ring to a lot of heat. Next up is “Latino Heat” Eddie Guerrero who makes his way down the ramp to also a lot of heat, going towards the fans to high-five them, then pulling away before they make contact. With both Orton and Eddie circling the ring the crowd all had their eyes on the entrance way, waiting for the World Heavyweight Champion. The crowd exploded into a massive Frenzy at the sound of Batista’s music and popped even louder when The Animal came out on stage. Batista’s pyros went off before he sprinted down the aisle and slid into the ring. Orton and Eddie both jumped Batista as he slid into the ring but Batista shoved off Eddie away, then gave Orton a few right hands. As Batista struck Orton with right hands, Eddie tried to attack him from behind but got smacked in the face with a back elbow from Batista. Batista whipped Orton off the ropes and hit him with a big Back Body Drop, then did the exact same to Guerrero who did a flip in mid-air. Orton charged at Batista but got grabbed by the head and thrown over the top rope. Guerrero got whipped off the ropes again but this time received a Tilt-O-Whirl Slam. Batista covered Guerrero but Orton grabbed Batista’s foot from the outside and pulled him out with him, unleashing right hand after right hand to The Animal. Orton gave Batista an Irish Whip but Batista reversed sending Orton right over the barricade into the crowd. Guerrero delivered a Baseball Slide to the back of Batista that send him right into the barricade. Guerrero exited the ring and threw Batista face first into the announcer’s table. Guerrero went to slam his face into it again, but Batista blocked it and slammed Eddie’s face into it. Batista gave Eddie a big Vertical Suplex right onto the concrete floor. Batista then walked back over to Randy Orton who had just pulled himself to his feet and Hip Tossed him back into the ringside area onto concrete. Batista went back over to Guerrero but Eddie blasted him in the face with the ring bell. Eddie tossed Batista back into the ring and covered him but Randy Orton slid in and shoved Guerrero off. Orton covered Batista but this time Guerrero shoved Orton off. The two got into an argument and shoves were exchanged until Orton floored Guerrero with a right hand and unleashed a few European Uppercuts that sent him against the ropes. Orton whipped Guerrero off the ropes and caught him with a big Dropkick for a two count. Orton lifted Guerrero back up and Guerrero found himself back down with an Inverted Facelock Backbreaker for another two. Orton locked Guerrero in a Rear-Chin Lock and began clubbing his chest with his forearm. Guerrero refused to tap out so Orton released his submission and delived a knee drop to the face. Orton began signaling for the RKO but Guerrero scored with a Small Package that only got a two count. Both men got back up and Orton went for a Clothsline which Guerrero ducked and scored with a Backslide for another two. Orton got back up but was taken down with a Double Leg Takedown that turned into a Pin With Bridge for a third two count. Guerrero gave Orton a kick to the gut and dished out the Three Amigos. Guerrero began slapping his chest signaling for the Frog Splash before climbing up to the top rope. Unaware to Orton or Guerrero, Batista was now up and furious. Batista grabbed Guerrero and launched him off the top rope into the center of the ring, clearing Orton. Batista picked up Orton and whipped him into the corner, then did the same with Guerrero sandwiching the two. Batista then gave Guerrero a Running Shoulder Thrust, and several standing Shoulder Thrusts there-after. Guerrero staggered out of the corner into a Double Handed Choke Lift by Batista who then threw Guerrero down onto his back. The Animal turned the staggering Orton inside-out with a Clothesline. Guerrero began to climb onto the apron to get away as Batista grabbed hold of the ropes and fired up the crowd, followed by two thumbs up, then down. Batista grabbed Orton and lifted him up for the Batista Bomb, but Orton slipped out, landing in front of Batista and out of nowhere crushed him with the RKO. Orton covered Batista as Guerrero went up top and landed on top of Orton with the Frog Splash. Guerrero covered Orton as the ref’s hand came down, in seemingly slow-motion until Batista grabbed Orton by the foot and with one hand pulled Guerrero off of Orton before the three count. Guerrero got up first and pounded away at the champion with right hands but made a wrong move when he bounced off the ropes to try a running attack. Guerrero ran right into the huge Spinebuster allowing Batista the opportunity to fire up the crowd once more with just the thumb motioning. Batista picked up the groggy Orton and slammed him right into the mat with the Batista Bomb for the three count.

Failed Mind Games

The music of The Game, Triple H hits as the former champion makes his way down the aisle. Triple H spits his water dramatically on the apron and poses on the second rope for the crowd before taking a microphone from the ring crew casually, appearing to be in a good mood.

Triple H: “You know, there comes a time in every man’s life when he realizes he’s made a mistake, when he’s realized he’s barked up the wrong tree, when he’s realized that he did something so rash and drastic that it could very well effect his future. Last week, John Cena, that’s exactly what you did. You made the single biggest mistake of your life by pinning me for the three count. Cena, when I saw that look in your eye when you realized you lucked out and actually beat me, I knew from then on you would fear me. John Cena, I’m asking that you, no, I’m begging you, NO! I am demanding that you come out here and meet me in the center of this ring, right now! Come on Cena, you brat-punk! If you want to prove to all these idiots out here, all your fans, your Chain-Gang, you will drag your cowardly little ass down that ramp, climb into threw these ropes and look me in the eye!”

Triple H drops his microphone and takes off his jacket, stomping around as the crowd awaits Cena. After a few moments of waiting, Triple H picks the microphone back up.

Triple H: “You see? Just like I thought. John Cena is nothing but an over-hyped spineless bad-ass poser, wannabe! Cena thinks he’s tough because of how he grew up, but the truly tough are proven by walking into the ring with their pride intact, and just being able to leave the ring on their own free will! Because I am, That! Damn! Good!”

Triple H drops his microphone, picks up his jacket and begins to make his way up the ramp when Stephanie McMahon comes on the Titan-Tron from her office.

Stephanie: “Hunter, look at you. You look good out there, running your mouth about how big you are, just like when we were married. But we both know the truth Hunter. As big and bad as you tell everyone you are, we all know that you’re really just… plain tiny. Hunter you know as well as I do that the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena isn’t in the building right now. He woke up this morning and found the tires on his rent-a-car slashed. How very interesting, wouldn’t you say? But don’t worry Hunter, I assure you that he’s on his way to the building right now, and when he gets here I’ll be sure to give him the message first-hand you want to see him.”

Overall Rating: 95

Eugene Dinsmore vs. Rene Dupree

A great match by all standards. Eugene pulled off every Ric Flair mannerism that Flair himself has used in the past few decades in the business. Eugene even got pops for receiving punishment from Dupree because he would do the Flair-Flop. The end came for Rene when Dupree had Eugene up on his shoulders for what looked to be a Death Valley Driver, but Eugene wriggled free, slipping out the back door. Eugene hit a Shin-Breaker on Dupree, followed by tripping his leg out from underneath him and locking him in the Figure Four Leglock, to which Dupree almost immediately tapped out to. As Eugene celebrated in the ring, Ric Flair dashed down the aisle, just barely finishing unbuttoning his shirt as he slid into the ring and started firing off right hands on Eugene. Eugene started fighting back with right hands and chops to the chest of his own, but was taken down to the mat after a Kick Between The Legs by Flair. Flair pulled a pair of brass knuckles out of his pocket and slipped them on his hand, delivering mounted punch after mounted punch to the head of Eugene. Flair left Eugene in a puddle of his own blood, wiping Eugene’s blood over his chest and hair.

Winner: Eugene Dinsmore

Broken Buzzsaw

A video is shown to the audience and cameras of an event happening earlier in the day. Tajiri is in a gymnasium kicking away at a large red punching bag with sickening intensity. Out of nowhere Tajiri is attacked from behind by Carlito who slams Tajiri’s face into the wall of the gym. Carlito gives Tajiri a few stomps then throws him onto a workout bench. Carlito places a large amount of weights on the dumbbell above Tajiri then drops it right on his chest, pinning him down painfully. Carlito pulls an apple out of his gym bag and begins chewing it up. Carlito’s eyes dart to the other side of the room where something catches his eyes. Carlito quickly spit’s the apple in Tajiri’s face and runs off as Danny Basham runs onto the scene. After chasing Carlito off screen, Danny quickly helps Tajiri lift the dumbbell off his chest and consoles him until a medical team arrive to aid him.

Punk Shoot

Ashley Massaro and Lita make their way to the ring to their music. Lita grabs a microphone from Lillian Garcia, then spits on her.

Lita: “Last week, my best friend Ashley was given as WWE Women’s Title shot. She used that opportunity to smash Trish Stratus’s pretty little skeletal structure! The puppets that run the show can give people like Ashley and me all the title shots they want, but the only way we’ll take them seriously is if the titles actually mean something!”

Ashley: “I purposely blew my shot at winning the Women’s Title last week, and I’d do it all over again if I could. I didn’t care if I won the stupid title or not, it doesn’t mean jack to me or any of the other contenders. The only person it has any credibility to is Trish Stratus, because she’s the champion, and has the record for most times winning it. I’ve got news for you Trish, the only reason you have the title is because you’ve never faced any real contenders for your title! The Women’s Title is a joke! It’s a fraud! A sham! A pitiful excuse…”

Ashley stops in mid-sentence when she sees Trish Stratus running with a limp down the ramp. Ashley and Lita give each other a look and a nod as they then turn to Trish as she enters the ring, but just as Trish enters, Lita slides out of the ring and begins making her way up the ramp as Trish tackles Ashley. Trish picks Ashley up, but Ashley scores with a high knee to the gut of Trish and a few forearms to the face. Ashley whips Trish off the ropes but on the way back Trish ducks an Ashley clothesline and stands behind Ashley, waiting for her turn around. Ashley turns right into the Chick Kick from Trish that absolutely levels her. Trish picks up her Women’s Title and begins pointing at it and shouting in Ashley’s face.

VP Productions and RAW’s Superheroes w/Stacy Keibler vs. The Heart Throbs and The Masterpieces - 8 Man Tag, One Fall

A pretty good eight-man tag-match between the contestants with lots of back and forth action. Venis and Romeo started things off which Venis took control of for the first few minutes until Venis was hit with a Running Clothesline from the other side of the apron by Snitsky. Snitsky and Chris Masters began making frequent tags to wear down Venis and even when he made the tag to The Hurricane, little could be done against the force that is The Masterpieces. Masters locked Rosey in the Masterlock towards the end but Johnny Parisi broke it up and a massive brawl erupted between all eight contestants. In one corner, Hurricane hit the Shining Wizard on Chris Masters while in the other corner The Heart Throbs knocked Val Venis out of the equation with the Party Down. Johnny Parisi gave Snitsky a Clothesline that knocked them both out of the ring, as did The Hurricane with Antonio. Romeo climbed to the top rope and dove off at Rosey with a Crossbody, but Rosey caught him and hit him with a Revolving Urange then covered Romeo for the three count.

The Masterpieces havn’t left yet though, and slide back in with chairs in hand. Masters nails Rosey in the head with the steel chair as Snitsky smacks Parisi in the face with the chair. Rosey receives a shot to the stomach with a chair from Masters, followed by a shot to the spine. Masters places his chair on the ground and gives The Hurricane a Spinebuster onto it. Masters and Snitsky exit the ring and grab Super Stacy by the hair, dragging her up the ramp way. Snitsky holds Stacy by the arms from behind as Masters is handed a microphone from a backstage member.

Masters: “People at home and in the audience here tonight, at Taboo Tuesday you have a very important decision to make. You get to decide on the World Tag Team Title contenders. Now one way or another, Snitsky and I will be at Taboo Tuesday. Your votes will decide what we do at Taboo Tuesday. You’ll either see us defeat the World Tag Team Champions for their belts, becoming the new Champions… or you can sit by and watch us break Stacy in half with the Masterlock!”

Snitsky: “If something should happen to dear, sweet, innocent Stacy… it won’t be, our, fault!”

Prepare To Be Bought!

Some new theme music hits as Donald Giddings and Mark Henry come out and make their way to the ring. They climb in through the ropes and take a microphone from the ring crew, tossing them a crisp $100 bill.

Giddings: “To all my homeboys and Joanie’s in the audience, let me hear you scream my name, Giddings! Giddings! Giddings!”

A dead silence fills the arena.

Giddings: “Listen here all you dinks in the back, and all you ditzes and dweebs in the audience and at home, we are the Vice Patrol. Vice is defined as what makes you second guess your conscience and give into temptation. We’ve set out to exploit your biggest tempation - money! Cash is what makes this world spin. You may think that we’re bogus now, but you’ll soon see how bodacious we really are! Look at this big clydesdale beside me. Anyone who wants to get to this stud, Donald Giddings, has to go through Mark Henry, my personal body guard! Lets go hosers! Get your ass out here and prepare for a helacious beating, served by the Vice Patrol! I need a pair of victims tonight to face us in a tag team match, so I can prove to these fans why they should love me!”

“Ain’t No Stopping Me” plays through the arena as the crowd stands on their feet, watching Shelton Benjamin, one of the greatest athletes on RAW comes out on stage with a microphone in hand.

Shelton: “I’ll take you up on that challenge Giddings. And I’ve got just the partner. I think you’ll like this, because tonight, it’s not just all about the Benjamin. Tonight, it’s about Benjamin… and The Rock!”

The Rock’s music blares as the crowd breaks into a frenzy, popping like crazy as The Great One makes his way out on stage. Benjamin and The Rock stare down Vice Patrol before dashing down the aisle and sliding into the ring.

Overall Rating: 78

The Rock and Shelton Benjamin vs. Vice Patrol

The Rock and Mark Henry start things off in the match with The Rock laying the Smackdown on the big man with various punches and Clotheslines. Henry began to take control when he lifted The Rock up off his feet and ran him spine-first into the corner, followed by several right clubbing hands. Henry used his powerhouse maneuvers to leave The Rock holding his ribs in agony. Henry tagged out to Giddings who began to work over Rock’s ribs. Giddings thought he had things under control until a reversed Irish Whip turned into a DDT that got a big pop from the crowd. Rock tagged out to Shelton who began to take things to a much faster level, wrestling circles around Giddings and Henry. All of Benjamin’s and The Rock’s efforts though would be futile in this match however, as after The Rock slammed Henry with The Rock Bottom, then sprung up, Kerwin White ran down the aisle with a golf club in hand. Kerwin hooks Benjamin’s foot who’s standing on the apron and jerks it off the apron, causing Benjamin to drop face first onto the ring. The Rock bounced off the ropes for the People’s Elbow but found himself getting smacked in the spine with the golf club by Kerwin. Kerwin gave The Rock and Shelton several golf club shots to the ribs and face before leaving.

Caged Heat

Stephanie McMahon is shown on the titan-tron with the camera zoomed in just on her and hands flailing behind her at one another.

Stephanie: “For those of you out there who tuned in tonight to see Matt Hardy and Edge disgrace RAW by running rampet and destroying the set and everyone along with it, you might as well turn the channel now. You see, since there’s physically no one that can keep these two apart, I’ve decided that the only way to keep things civil for just one night would be to keep these two physically separated by steel!”

The camera zooms out to find Edge and Matt Hardy in two separate steel cages both only big enough to fit one another and a stool to sit in, but both men stood up against the bars swinging at each other to no avail as they were too far apart. Stephanie walks off screen as we see the two struggling to attack one another. After a few moments Lita walks over and leans up against Edge’s cage holding a pipe in one hand and a set of keys in the other. Lita and Edge start laughing as Lita unlocks Edge’s cage. Edge exit’s the cage and kisses Lita.

Edge: “Thanks darling. Maybe later on tonight, we can borrow this cage for a little hotel-room fun. Hand me that pipe will you? How’s it going Matt? Looks like one more time I’ve got your girl, and you’re forced to watch huh?”

Edge begins banging on Hardy’s cage with the pipe to frighten him but to no avail as Hardy keeps trying to grab hold of Edge. Edge strikes Hardy a few times in the arm which sends it coiling back into the cage. Edge drops the pipe as he and Lita begin shaking the cage, even lifting sides of it off the ground as it rocked back and forth. This continued only until a familiar voice yelled. “Hey! Knock it off! Leave him alone!” Mick Foley, the Hardcore legend walked on screen.

Edge: “What the hell do you want you hasbeen? Get the hell out of my sight! This has nothing to do with you.”

Foley: “Listen Edge, I realize you may not want anything to do with me ever since you became a total jackass, but damnit if you don’t get the hell away from Matt Hardy right now, I will disfigure you in such a sadistic way that I promise you will never have another nice day in your life, got it!?”

Edge: “Yeah… yeah, I’ve got it.”

Edge turns to walk away but then turns back around and swings at Foley, who blocks the punch and lays in several of his own. Foley throws Edge face first into his cage wall that knocks his cage over. Foley uses this opportunity to pull out Mr. Socko and put it on his hand. Edge walks right into the Mandible Claw, but Foley releases it when Lita jumps on his back. Foley tosses Edge away but then sticks the dirty, filthy, disgusting sock down Lita’s throat to the crow’d enjoyment. Lita is taken down by Mr. Socko, then it is pulled out of her mouth and shoved back down Edge’s gullet until a swarm of referees can pull Mick away.

CM Punk and Shawn Michaels w/Vicki Adams vs. Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle

A great match between the four contestants with all contestants trying to make their best impression on the voters. Angle even brought out his big Top Rope Moonsault on Michaels which got a big pop. Of any of the combinations between the four contestants, none of the shots looked as stiff and as brutal as the ones between RVD and CM Punk who somehow knew every one of each other’s moves. The end came when Angle, the illeagle man, locked Shawn Michaels in the Angle Lock during a peir-six brawl between the four contestants. Michaels rolled forward sending Angle flying into the referee and knocking the wind out of him. Punk entered the ring with a chair but got a Van Daminator to the face. Angle floored Michaels with the Angle Slam as RVD jumped up onto the top rope. RVD nailed HBK dead-center in the ring with the Five Star Frog Splash. Just as RVD hit the Five Star Frog Splash, the lights went out until a big pyro lit the arena. Chris Jericho’s music played as he ran down the aisle into the ring. Angle got throw right over the top rope as he went to attack Jericho who then floored RVD with the Breakdown. Y2J picked up the dropped Steel Chair as RVD pulled himself back up, but The Whole Dam Show got the chair smacked across his cranium by the first undisputed champion. Jericho left the ring and waited on the outside with Vicki Adams as CM Punk covered RVD. The ref awoke just in time to count the three, awarding Punk and Michaels the victory. Vicki and Jericho climbed back into the ring and began to help Punk and Michaels up. The four of them began stomping away at RVD until Angle got back in the ring. Angle managed to take down HBK with a tackle and unleashed a few punches but got a spray can clanked right on the back of his head that left him bleeding. Punk and Jericho picked up Angle as HBK knocked him back down like a bowling pin with the Sweet Chin Music. Jericho hit the Lionsault on RVD and Punk began to shake up the spray paint can as both Angle and RVD were rolled onto their stomachs. All of a sudden pyros exploded on the entrance ramp as the Big Show dashed down the aisle and slid into the ring. A double Clothesline turned HBK and Y2J inside out by the giant. Big Show knocked Punk down with a big Headbutt, then grabbed Y2J by the throat, driving him into the mat with a massive Choke Slam. HBK tried to attack Show but ran right into a big Scoop Slam. Big Show picked Punk up and threw him over the top rope by just his head. Show picked up Michaels by just his throat and drove him back down with the Show Stopper. Vicki Adams slapped Big Show but it barely phased him. Show grabbed Vicki by the throat and then by the leg and pressed her over his head, throwing her over the top rope onto CM Punk.

Monday Bloody Monday

With only a few minutes left to the show, everyone knew and waited in anticipation as to what they were going to be used on. The Heavyweight Champion’s music hits as John Cena comes down to the ring to a huge pop, holding his title and looking quite serious. Cena is handed a microphone from Lillian Garcia, who’s shoudler Cena brushes off and gives her a nod.

Cena: “Triple H, when this thing between you and I started I thought I was going to be in for a challenge. I thought I might even be getting in over my head taking on the Cerebral Assassin, The Game, the Ten Time World Champion! Boy I’ve got to tell you… I couldn’t be more wrong. Hunter man, I’ve already pinned your punk ass in the center of the ring and hired your ex-wife to get in your head. How do you respond to that? By, in a very little-high school-girl way, going and running your mouth about how much you hate me and how bad you can kick my ass, behind my back. Well Triple H, if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times. There are those who talk about it… and there are those who BE about it! Unlike when you decided to bitch me out like the chicken[~bleep!~] that you are, Hunter, let me be the first to inform you - THE CHAMP IS HERE! You think you can kick my ass with the Chain Gang representing tonight? Hunter, I’ll make this very simple for you, you’ve got only one option and that can be chosen by answering my question. You want some? COME GET SOME!”

Cena begins stretching and flexing in the ring as he await’s The Game. Finnally the crowd goes belistic as his music hits. Triple H stomps down the aisle and climbs into the ring without looking at any of the fans or spitting any water. Triple H left all the drama in the back this time as he got nose to nose with Cena and without saying a word just stared him down. Cena put the microphone between them to offer it to him but Triple H just slapped it out of his hand sending it flying to the other side of the ring. Cena and Triple H got into some inaudible trash talk which didn’t last long for Triple H to throw the first punch sending Cena reeling backwards. Triple H fired off several more right hands to the head of Cena until he was backed into the corner where he tore Cena’s jersey off over his head in a hockey-like fashion, but as Cena lost his jersey, he gained control as he grabbed Triple H by the collar of his suit and threw him into the corner firing off right hands of his own. Cena tore Triple H’s suit-jacket off of him then whipped The Game into the opposing corner. Triple H bounced out of the corner and staggered into the Sit-Out Hip Toss. Cena bounced off the ropes as Triple H pulled himself up and went for a flying Shoulder Tackle but Triple H ducked it and managed a Low-Bridge with the top rope, sending Cena abdomen first into the ropes and toppling to the outside. Triple H exited the ring and began pounding away at Cena while he was on his knees, with right hands. Triple H threw Cena face first into the steel steps then went to the other side of the ring. Triple H took off his collared white shirt and took Cena’s spinning Heavyweight Title. Cena, apparently blooded from being thrown face-first into the steps pulled something out of his pocket and grasped it firmly in his hand. Triple H charged Cena with the title but received a big right hand to the gut that left him doubled over for quite the long time. The camera zoomed in on Cena’s hand to find a LIFE Brass Knuckles on it, one half of Cena’s custom set. Cena gave Triple H a few right hands to the face with the brass knuckles that left him both bloodied and staggering and crawling up the ramp way for sanctuary. Cena grabbed Triple H by the head and threw him face first into the RAW set. The two battled backstage behind the curtains for some time until finally the cameras caught them backstage. Cena dragged Triple H into the parking lot until he reached a black limo. Cena slammed Triple H’s face into it then backed away to catch his breath. Cena charged at Triple H who caught Cena and hit an Arn Anderson Spinebuster right onto the hood of the limo, then unleashed a barrage of right hands to the face of Cena. Triple H pulled Cena’s brass knuckles off his fist and began putting them on his hand but stared at them a few seconds too long as when he turned his attention back towards the champion he received a kick to the gut followed by an F-U right onto the hood of the Limo, which also sickeningly put Triple H’s foot threw the windsheild. Cena collapsed onto the hood of the limo from lack of blood but managed to land very close to Triple H’s face which gave the final shot of Cena using his last bit of strength to give Triple H the “You Can’t See Me” taunt.

[I Don't Mind]

Date: October 18, 2005

JR: “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the most revolutionary pay per view in the industry - Taboo Tuesday!”

Jerry Lawler: “That’s right! This pay per view consists entirely on the votes of the fans out there in cyberspace! And our first match up is how we on the RAW brand get things done.”

JR: “That’s right, this should be an interesting bout to say the least, lets take a look at the Backstory of Ric Flair vs. Eugene, in a… get this, Loser becomes the other’s servant match!”

Jerry Lawler: “Oh man JR can you imagine if that idiot Eugene somehow beats Ric Flair? God only knows what he’ll have him do, but if the Nature Boy can pull out the victory I can see Eugene polishing his shoes, driving his limo’s and… well never mind, I don’t like the idea of Eugene driving.”

A hype video is shown on the Titan-Tron, first of the votes tallying up that the Servant match won, then Flair and Eugene’s backstage challenge, followed by the tag team match they participated in and finally Eugene’s match with Rene where Flair came out and attacked him.

Ric Flair vs. Eugene: Loser becomes the other's servant

The show starts off right with The Nature Boy Ric Flair coming down the aisle to his music. He struts down the ramp way and into the ring where he de-robes and begins bouncing off the ropes, firing himself up for his match. Next out is the challenger, the very “special” Eugene. Eugene comes down the aisle waving to all the fans, dressed like Ric Flair himself. Eugene climbs into the ring but just as he begins to de-robe Flair attacks him from behind to start the match off. Flair whips Eugene off the ropes then drops down, allowing Eugene to jump over him. Flair gets back up and charges at Eugene as he bounces off the ropes once more, catching him with a back elbow to the face. Flair covered Eugene early in the match but only got a one count. Flair locked Eugene in a Hammerlock, then tripped him with a Double Leg Takedown from behind, followed by a series of slaps to the back of the head for humiliation purposes. The two got back up and grappled in a Collar-Elbow Tie-Up which Eugene used to float behind Flair, trip him like he had done to him earlier, and slap him in the back of the head several times. Eugene got up and did the Flair strut followed by the “Woo!”. The two went to grapple again but Flair gave Eugene a kick to the gut. Flair then hit a Vertical Suplex on Eugene then floated it into a Sleeper Hold. Eugene made it to his feet and threw Flair off the ropes. Eugene dropped down allowing Flair to jump over him but Flair stopped short and delivered an Elbow Drop to the back of Eugene, plus three more. Flair bounced off the ropes and hit a rolling Knee Drop to the back of Eugene, pulling himself up right into his strut, followed by a “Woo!” Flair covered Eugene again but once more to no avail. Flair picked up Eugene and dragged him over into the corner of the ring where he held him still with one hand and looked to the crowd, allowing them to know what he was going for. Flair went for his chop but Eugene ducked it and floated behind Flair, turning him around and unloading stomp after stomp to the abdomen, followed by a few right hands in a very Stone Cold fashion. Eugene then unloaded an onslaught of Ric Flair chops to the chest following each one with a “Woo!” to get the crowd behind him, though some found it a little too insulting to the legend. Eugene went to whip Flair in the opposing corner, but Flair reversed. Eugene’s back hit the turnbuckle hard but as Flair charged at him, Eugene threw his legs up onto one top rope as he balanced his torso on the other top rope. Flair ran himself shoulder-first into the turnbuckle, then Eugene rolled off the ropes into a Schoolboy Pin for only a two count. Eugene picked Flair up and began spinning him on his shoulders with an Airplane Spin, then threw off Flair over his head with a sickening thud. Eugene covered Flair but only for a two. Eugene went for the Figure Four on Flair but got rolled up in a Small Package after the twist around the leg for only a two. Flair scored with the Thumb To The Eye on Eugene, blinding him, and followed it up with an Inverted Atomic Drop. Flair began to let loose a torrent of Ric Flair chops to the chest so stiff that Eugene began to bleed from the pectoral muscles. Flair nailed Eugene with a Butterfly Suplex and covered him for a two count much to his discontent. Flair climbed up to the top rope but was caught upstairs by Eugene who threw him right off, right into the center of the ring, looking quite angry now. Eugene unleashed several hard rights and lefts to the head of Flair, then began hitting a series of Scoop Slams. Eugene began to fire up the crowd and as a groggy Flair approached he got hit with the Stone Cold Stunner that caused him to stand back up straight, then fall into the Flair Flop. Eugene bounced off the ropes once, then twice and went for the People’s Elbow but Flair rolled out of the way. Flair picked Eugene up and nailed him with the Shin Breaker, then locked him in the Figure Four. Eugene broke the hold when he rolled over after about twenty seconds of struggling however. Flair went for a right hand on Eugene but received a big German Suplex for his trouble instead. Eugene climbed to the top rope and as Flair made it to his feet, was met by a flying Double Axe Handle to knock him silly. Eugene looked around then locked Flair in his own Figure Four Leglock. Flair rolled over just as Eugene had done earlier but Eugene had a counter to his own counter! Eugene pulled himself onto his knees and bridged his body backwards locking Flair in a sort-of Crossface type lock. Both men screamed in agony as it effected them both greatly but Flair was the first to submit, causing him to be Eugene’s servant from here-on-out. Eugene released the hold as the bell was rung and was given the victory but Flair did not seem enthusiastic about it. Flair gave Eugene a bit of applause before patting him on the back and leaving with him.

Jerry Lawler: “My God JR! The Nature Boy is going to be Eugene’s servant from here on out! I don’t believe it! This is a travesty! Somebody’s got to stop this!”

JR: “Flair lost fair and square King. What an innovative reversal by Eugene though. Our next match is our World Tag Team Title match and King, after hearing The Masterpieces’ threat to the fans last week, I’m a little afraid of the result.”

A hype video showing all three possible teams were shown, the vignettes of the Vice Patrol followed by their impressive debut match against The Rock and Shelton Benjamin, The Heart Throbs and their feud with Val Venis and Johnny Parisi, and finally the path of destruction of the Masterpieces and their threat to hurt Stacy if not selected by the fans. The final clip on the video was the results of the votes which showed The Heart Throbs winning to everyone’s surprise.

The Heart Throbs help The Super Heroes save Stacy from The Masterpieces

Before either the World Tag Team Champions or The Heart Throbs could make their way to the ring, the music of The Masterpieces hit. The two big men walked down the aisle looking angry as they dragged Stacy by the hair. The three entered the ring as Masters grabbed a microphone.

Masters: “Well I can’t say I’m surprised. These people don’t give a damn about a little skank like you Stacy. They don’t give a rats ass about any of us! I’m not going to make myself sound like the victim here but I have a confession to make. We were going to break Stacy in half whether or not you voted for us anyways, so, Snitsky?”

Snitsky threw Stacy to Chris Masters as he dropped the microphone. Masters began to set Stacy up for the Masterlock as Snitsky yelled violently in her face but Stacy was thrown to the side as The Hurricane and Rosey dashed down the aisle and slid into the ring erupting into a brawl with The Masterpieces. The Hurricane is the first to get taken out when he gets leveled by a Big Boot from Snitsky. Rosey seems to be able to hold his own against Chris Masters until Snitsky attacks him from behind. The two corner Rosey and began stomping away at him until he’s down on the ground with Masters’ boot across his throat, choking him. Snitsky grabs Stacy by the hair and begins to set her up for the Pump Handle Slam. He lifts Stacy up on his shoulder but to the crowd’s surprise the lights go out and multi-colored strobe lights hit. Techno music plays, very similar to “What Is Love” from Night At The Roxbury, then The Heart Throbs dash down the aisle and slide into the ring. They both jump Snitsky at once which catches Chris Masters’ attention, but he is cut off by The Hurricane who fires off right hand after right hand on him. The Heart Throbs drop Snitsky with the Party Down. Rosey gets up and knocks Masters right over the top rope with a Clothesline as the two tag teams celebrate in the ring with Stacy.

RAW’s Superheroes w/Super Stacy vs. The Heart Throbs - World Tag Team Titles

Both teams seemed to be playing as faces tonight with The Heart Throbs making their turn just now. The ladies even let out a pop when The Heart Throbs tore off their wind-pants. The Hurricane and Antonio started things off this one. They slap hands as a sign of respect then go to tie-up but Antonio locks Hurricane in an Arm Wrench, which The Hurricane quickly counters with an Arm Wrench of his own. Hurricane goes to use the Arm Wrench as an Irish Whip, but Antonio reverses, throwing Hurricane off the ropes. Hurricane ducks an Antonio Clothesline and plows him down with a Flying Clothesline of his own. Hurricane climbs up to the top rope and as Antonio gets up he gets caught with a Flying Crossbody that Antonio rolls over into a pin for a two count. Antonio and Hurricane get back up and Antonio plows down Hurricane with a Clothesline, then another, then a Back Body Drop. Antonio stands above Hurricane’s fallen body and begins breaking out some dance moves then dropping down into a Mounted Punch. After about eight punches Antonio tags out to Romeo. Romeo enters the ring and runs his hands through the sides of his hair, then snaps his fingers and points to The Hurricane who’s pulling himself onto his knees. Romeo jumps towards Hurricane and delivers a short Dropkick to the sternum before making a cover for a two count. Romeo picks up Hurricane and lifts him up for a Suplex, but Hurricane lands on his feet behind Romeo and shoves him into Rosey who knocks him down with a forearm from the outside of the ring ropes. Hurricane dives towards Rosey, tagging him in. Rosey knocks down Romeo with a right hand, then Antonio with a Clothesline as he runs in. Rosey whips Romeo off the ropes and hit’s a big Back Body Drop, then does the same to Antonio but hitting a Samoan Drop. The big Samoan is on fire as he begins unleashing a few Scoop Slams on Romeo followed by a cover for a two count. Rosey whipped Romeo into the corner then charged after him for a Corner Splash but Romeo dodged it and Rosey ran himself chest first into the turnbuckles. Romeo took this as his advantage and gave Rosey a Dropkick to the back of the head, sending him down to the mat. A double tag was made and both Hurricane and Antonio broke out into a brawl. All four men began to participate in the brawl which the Heart Throbs seemed to have control of. The Heart Throbs set Rosey up for the Party Down but Hurricane pulled Antonio away and delivered the Eye Of The Hurricane. Romeo attacked Hurricane but when he went to whip Hurricane off the ropes, Hurricane reversed sending Romeo right into a Side Slam position by Rosey. Hurricane and Rosey hit a Side Slam/Eye of the Hurricane on Romeo and covered him for the three.

Jerry Lawler: “Hey! Wait a minute! Romeo wasn’t even the legal man! How can he do that!”

JR: “That’s a good call King, Romeo was not the legal man. A very questionable call by the referee to say the least. Ladies and gentlemen next up we’ve got our intercontinental title match.”

Jerry Lawler: “JR, this is such an unfair situation for Carlito. He has no idea who he’s defending his title against! Usually a person needs at least a day’s notice, sometimes a week’s notice to properly prepare and train for it.”

We see a hype video showing all the possible votee’s in the match. We see the bloody battles between Danny Basham and Rene Dupree, the Highlight Reel and gymnasium attack with Tajiri and Carlito and the tag team match between the four. Finally it’s revealed on the Titan-Tron that Tajiri is the winner.

Carlito vs. Tajiri - Intercontinental Title

“Cool” off the WWE ThemeAddict CD is played as Carlito makes his way down to the ring carrying his Intercontinental Title, but he is attacked by Tajiri who ran down the aisle behind him before he could get into the ring. Tajiri throws Carlito into the ring and slides in after him. Tajiri begins to unleash a rush of Low and Medium Kicks to the legs and side and punches to the face (Anyone who’s played the recent Smackdown games knows what I’m talking about here) followed by a Spinning Heel Kick to knock down Carlito. Tajiri pins Carlito for a mere two count. Tajiri goes to whip Carlito off the ropes but Carlito reverses. Tajiri goes for the Springboard Back Elbow but Carlito ducks it and goes for a Back Drop, but Tajiri lands on his feet behind Carlito. Tajiri locks Carlito in a full nelson then throws him backwards, dropping him right on his head with a Dragon Suplex for another two count. Tajiri picks Carlito up and goes for a Suplex, but Carlito blocks it, hooking his foot around Tajiri’s leg, then fires off a few right hands to break Tajiri’s hold on him. Carlito gives Tajiri a Vertical Suplex of his own, then floated over into a few right hands to the face and a pin for a two count. Carlito picks up Tajiri’s leg then drops an elbow onto it. He does this twice more then drops a knee onto it. Tajiri rolls around in agony as Carlito proudly struts around the ring. Carlito lifts Tajiri high up into the air and places him in the corner of the ring, trapping his foot in-between the top and middle rope. Carlito gives Tajiri a few shoulder thrusts to the ribs then backs up. Carlito reaches the other corner of the ring and charges at Tajiri going for a Spear, but similar to Flair earlier in the night, Tajiri dodges it and frees his leg, then locks Carlito in the Tarantula. Tajiri fires up the crowd but walks right into The Cool-Crunch (Lifting Complete Shot) for only a two count. Carlito picks Tajiri up, but only long enough to plant him back into the mat with a DDT. Carlito prances around the ring arrogantly, taunting the crowd then puts a foot on the chest of Tajiri for a cocky pin. Tajiri gets his shoulder up at two though. Carlito picks Tajiri up for a Powerbomb, but Tajiri throws his legs free and nails a Tornado DDT on Carlito - a great reversal! Carlito grabs his Intercontinental Title then charges at Tajiri who ducks it and does a Handstand, bouncing off the ropes and nailing Carlito with a Back Elbow, knocking the title back into his face. Tajiri signals for the Buzzsaw Kick but Carlito ducks it and spits Apple at Tajiri who ducks it and it hit’s the referee. Tajiri does a split in front of the seated Carlito and spits Green Mist in his face. Tajiri pulls himself back up quickly and knocks Carlito out cold with the Buzzsaw Kick for the three count.

JR: “My god! I don’t believe it! Tajiri is our new Intercontinental Champion! This is astounding! What an upset!”

Jerry Lawler: “I don’t believe it either JR! Little Tajiri! Carlito must be livid!”

JR: “Man, what a match. Next up we’ve got a very personal match. this match is based entirely on the racism that runs ramped in the heart of Kerwin White. Let’s take a look.”

We see a hype video of Kerwin White’s path of racist destruction. We see his matches with Tajiri, Rosey, Viscera, Shelton Benjamin and even his attack on The Rock. The votes are tallied and showed on the screen that Shelton Benjamin wins.

Kerwin White vs. Shelton Benjamin

Kerwin White drives down to the ring first in his golf cart and enters the ring, waiting for his opponent. Shelton Benjamin’s music hits next as he comes down the aisle, keeping his eyes fixated on Kerwin White. Shelton enters the ring and the two go nose to nose. Kerwin pie-faces Shelton in a very disrespectful manner which is responded to by getting floored with a right hand by Shelton. Shelton fires off a few right hands then whips Kerwin off the ropes. As Kerwin makes his way back, Shelton nails him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Shelton covers Kerwin for a two count then pulls him up and gives him a vicious snap Suplex. Kerwin rolls out of the ring to try and catch his breath but Shelton hit’s one set of ropes and dives over the other set with a No-Handed Plancha that knocked Kerwin down. Shelton picked Kerwin up and threw him right into the barricade. Kerwin held his back in agony for a moment but was soon holding his chest as Shelton picked him up for a Scoop Slam but dropped Kerwin chest first on top of the barricade. Shelton threw Kerwin back into the ring but as Shelton slid back in, Kerwin gave him a few stomps to the back of the head. Kerwin picks Shelton up and groggily hit’s a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count. Kerwin climbs up to the top rope but Shelton shakes the ropes causing him to straddle himself on the top turnbuckle. Shelton climbs up to the top rope with Kerwin and hit’s a Superplex for a two count. Shelton whips Kerwin off the ropes but gets caught with a Flying Head Scissors on the way back. Kerwin drags Shelton over to the corner and goes for a Tornado DDT but Shelton drops Kerwin on his knee with an Inverted Atomic Drop. As Kerwin jumped around holding his crotch, Shelton leaped up to the top rope in the corner and dove backwards while turning towards Kerwin, and plowing him down with a Flying Clothesline. Shelton whipped Kerwin into the corner and hit him with a Stinger Splash, then another, then a third! Shelton went for the Super Kick which Kerwin caught. Kerwin threw Shelton’s foot away but as Shelton went for the Dragon Whip, Kerwin ducked it and Shelton knocked the referee loopy with his foot. Kerwin scores with a low blow on Shelton followed by the Gory Bomb. Kerwin exit’s the ring and grabs a steel chair. He readies himself for Shelton but The Rock runs down the aisle and slides into the ring behind him. Kerwin gets grabbed and spun around right into the Rock Bottom. The Rock went to leave but Shelton stopped him and signaled for the People’s Elbow. The Rock delivered hitting the most electrifying move in sports entertainment on Kerwin White, then left. Shelton dropped down as the referee got up and arrogantly covered Kerwin for the three count, much to the crowd’s pleasure.

JR: “A great ending to a great feud, wouldn’t you say King?”

Jerry Lawler: “You bet, except Shelton won. Shelton couldn’t even beat Kerwin on his own! He had to have The Rock come help him! It’s ridiculous JR! Kerwin was screwed again. If you ask me this thing between Benjamin and Kerwin is far from over, it’s just gotten more personal.”

JR: “Well King, I hope for their sake your wrong. Up next is probably our most personal rivalry. Edge vs. Matt Hardy with a special guest referee that I’m told is going to be left a surprise. We won’t be showing who won, you’ll just have to wait for them to come out.”

Jerry Lawler: “Who is it JR?”

JR: “Hey, I’ll be damned if I know King!”

A hype video is shown of how personal Matt Hardy and Edge’s feud has been. All the attacks and all the attempts at separating them are shown.

Edge vs. Matt Hardy - Special Guest Ref: ???

The crowd explodes as the theme music of Matt Hardy plays, and V-1 himself comes out on stage. Hardy enters the ring and awaits his opponent and ex-girlfriend. Edge and Lita come out next. Metalingus hits next and after the pyros go off, Edge and Lita come out on stage holding the Money In The Bank briefcase. The two come down the aisle and stop at ringside as all three look towards the entrance way. A car wreck is heard followed by some rhythmic clapping, signifying Mick Foley is the famed special guest referee. Foley appears on stage but the cameras quickly jump back to the ring where Edge has jumped Matt Hardy and is pounding away at him with right hands. Edge grabs a hold of Hardy and slams him face-first into the mat with his Half-Nelson Face Buster. Foley slides in the ring to pull Edge away as he begins to blatantly choke Matt Hardy. Edge shoves Foley out of the way and gives Matt a few stomps to the ribs. Edge picks Hardy up and whips him off the ropes but Hardy catches Edge with his Inverted Bulldog/Clothesline takedown. Hardy pounds away at Edge but Foley has to pull Hardy away when he’s clearly exceeded his amount of legal punches. Hardy knocks both himself and Edge over the top rope with a Cactus Clothesline to which Foley gives a Bang Bang! to. Hardy throws Edge face first into the steel ring post, then begins fishing around for something under the ring. Hardy pulls out a cinder block! Hardy yells some profanities in Edge’s face while Foley advices Hardy not to do something stupid. Hardy backs up and throws the cinder block with all his might at Edge’s head but Edge dodges it and the cinder block breaks in half over the ring post. Lita runs over and scores with a kick between the legs of Matt Hardy but Mick Foley exit’s the ring and pushes her away from the fight to the other side of the ring. Lita slaps Foley across the face to which he reaches into his pants and begins to pull out Socko but Lita makes a mad-dash to the other side of the ring, so Foley puts Socko away. Edge picks up Hardy and slams him face-first into the steel steps. Edge pulls the top step away and lays Matt down on the bottom one. Edge strips away the padding on the concrete beside the steps and drags Matt Hardy onto them. Edge signals for a Powerbomb off of the steps onto the concrete, but Hardy delivers a Back Body Drop that drops Edge spine first onto the concrete. Hardy follows up the Back Body Drop by climbing up onto the apron and diving off with the Downfall (“Yodel” Legdrop). Both men are down and exhausted already so Foley picks them up one by one and rolls them into the ring where they begin to fight again. Edge scores with the Edge-u-Cution on Hardy in the center of the ring and covers him but Hardy kicks out at two. Edge locks Hardy in the Edgeucation but after a long struggle, Hardy makes it to the ropes. Edge refuses to break the submission so Foley has to pull him off and drag him to the other side of the ring. Edge gives Foley a shove to which Foley responds by knocking Edge down with a right hand, and yelling some profanities at him. Edge gets back up and turns around right into the Side Effect by Hardy for the two count. Hardy bounces off the ropes and goes for a Clothesline on Edge, but Edge ducks it and nails the Edge-O-Matic for another two count. A frustrated Edge now takes the briefcase from Lita and awaits Hardy to get up. Foley, having had enough of this, grabs the briefcase and engages in a tug-o-war with Edge for it. Lita enters the ring and scores with a low blow on Foley. Edge then cleans Foley’s clock by nailing him with the briefcase in the head. Edge turns around right into the Twist Of Fate this time from Hardy. Hardy covers Edge but with the referee out, Lita slides into the ring and breaks the pin by pulling Hardy off by the hair. Hardy gives Lita a kick to the gut and nails her with the Twist Of Fate too. Hardy pulls his belt off and wraps it around Edge’s throat, choking the life out of him with it. Hardy takes the belt off of Edge’s neck and uses it to tie Lita’s hands to the ropes. Hardy exit’s the ring and grabs a steel chair. Edge pulls himself up but gets knocked back down with a steel chair shot right to the head. Lita’s emotional pain seems to please the crowd so Hardy lays in several more shots on Edge with the chair. Foley finally wakes up and finds Hardy threatening to nail Lita in the face with the chair to which he makes a dive and snatches the chair out of Hardy’s hands at the last minute. Hardy focuses back on Edge who’s trying to regroup in the corner but as he approaches he receives a Spear that knocks the wind out of him. Edge covers Hardy and Foley counts the three.

Winner: Edge

JR: “Damnit! Edge walks away with the victory. This match certainly was full of distractions for both wrestlers, wouldn’t you say King?”

Jerry Lawler: “That’s right JR. Both these men were expecting to ignore all distractions and just beat the snot out of each other here tonight but they didn’t count on special guest referee, that idiot, Mick Foley!”

JR: “Actually King I think we could accredit Mick with the safety of both wrestlers, but in any case next up is our six-person vote where the two most voted for wrestlers face each other, and the other four get stuck in a tag team match later on.”

We see a hype video of all the personal problems between RVD and CM Punk, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels, Big Show and Chris Jericho and all the branches in-between. We then see that the winning two are Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels

The crowd explodes into a frenzy of boo’s with clearly the most heat of the night when Shawn Michaels comes out, strutting down the aisle and posing in the middle of the ring with various explosions going on around him. Angle comes out next to a massive ovation to his Olympic music. The two stare each other down in the center of the ring before they go to grapple, which Angle floats behind into a Waistlock. HBK counters the Waistlock with a Fireman’s Carry into a Side Headlock. Angle locks HBK in a Scissor Hold with his legs but HBK springs out of it and both men are back up on their feet. HBK charges at Angle and receives a quick Arm Drag but as Angle goes to attack afterwards he gets a Hip Toss. HBK charges at Angle to follow up his momentum but gets an Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex. Angle then does the same but gets Back Body Dropped over the top rope to the ground below by Michaels. HBK exit’s the ring and slams Angle’s face into the apron, but as he goes to do it a second time, Angle blocks it, fires off a right elbow or two to the gut of HBK and slams Michaels’ face into the apron. Angle fires off a few European Uppercuts and right hands before setting HBK up for the Angle Slam. HBK slips out the back door and actually hit’s a Tear Drop Suplex on Angle on the outside of the ring. HBK picks Angle back up and rolls him into the ring, sliding in after him and covering him for a two. HBK locks Angle in an Abdominal Stretch but after a few moments of struggling, Angle counters with a Hip Toss. HBK goes for a Clothesline on Angle but Angle ducks it and hit’s a German Suplex, followed by another, and a Hat Trick German Suplex. Angle covers HBK but only gets a two count. Angle fires up the crowd after a Vertical Suplex and begins to climb up top. The huge Moonsault is met with knees to the gut by Michaels however. HBK places Angle’s throat across the second rope and presses down on his back with his knee, choking him. HBK releases his choke at four and pulls Angle away. HBK scores with an Inverted Atomic Drop then trips Angle and locks him Sharpshooter. Angle struggles and pulls himself towards the ropes but Shawn drags him right back into the center of the ring. Angle uses one of his hands to grab HBK’s foot and jerk it out from underneath him to break the Sharpshooter, then locks him in the Angle Lock. HBK tries to pull himself to the ropes now but Angle refuses to let him. HBK even manages to partially stand up with his one foot and uses it to kick Angle with a Enziguri-Type Sweet Chin Music. Both men were down and out until the referee got till eight. Angle charged at Michaels but HBK ducked a Clothesline and they each bounced off the ropes. They met back in the center of the ring where HBK nailed Angle with a Flying Forearm then sprang back up and gave the “D-X Suck It” gesture to Angle. HBK climbed up to the top rope and waited for Angle to get back up. HBK dove off the top with a Moonsault Press but Angle dodged it which Michaels expected, and HBK landed on his feet. Angle then grabbed Michaels and slammed him with the Angle Slam. Angle tore down his straps and locked HBK in the Angle Lock, but HBK rolled forward and sent Angle chest-first into the top turnbuckle. Angle turned around into a kick to the gut and a big Vertical Suplex. HBK climbed up to the top rope for a Flying Elbow which he signaled for but waited a little too long. Angle sprang back up to his feet to mock HBK and ran up the ropes, hitting a Top Rope Belly-To-Belly Suplex. Angle dragged HBK back into the center of the ring and locked him in the Angle Lock. HBK screamed in pain and reached for the ropes but was far too far away to reach them and inevitably tapped out.

Rob Van Dam and Big Show vs. Chris Jericho and CM Punk w/Vicki Adams

The lights go out followed by an explosion on the ramp and Jericho himself stands in the center of where the explosion was, arms outstretched. Jericho spins around and makes his way down the ramp, climbing into the ring. Y2J’s partner tonight is apparently dropping his debut generic music for “Miseria Cantare” by AFI which he had used in other promotions. The room darkens for Punk’s entrance as he has a laser light show pointed at him as he and Vicki Adams pose on the ramp way with their Straight Edge Gesture. They then walk down the aisle when the chorus dies down and enter the ring with Jericho. Next up the crowd explodes when “One Of A Kind” hits. Mr. Pay Per View comes out on stage throwing his fists into the air and stopping at the bottom of the ramp way to do his thumb-pointing “R-V-D” gesture. As RVD’s music dies down, his partner’s music hits. Big Show makes his way down the aisle and both men slide into the ring at the same time. A clash between all four men occurs with Big Show throwing Jericho over the top rope by just his head while RVD gives CM Punk a Spin Kick that sends him out of the ring. RVD and Big Show posed in the center of the ring having drove their opponents out of it until Show stepped out onto the apron and Punk entered the ring to the sound of the bell. Van Dam and Punk circled the ring, staring one another down. Punk and RVD grapple which Punk turns into an Arm Wrench, but RVD trips Punk and pins him with a pin with bridge, but Punk grabs the waist of RVD and rolls over, pulling them both up, then turning it around into a backslide for another two count, which RVD kicks out of and locks Punk in a front-headlock which Punk counters with another Arm Wrench, but RVD rolls forward and breaks the Arm Wrench with a kick to the arm of Punk. Van Dam fires off a few right hands to Punk then whips him off the ropes. RVD drops down into a split and Punk leap frogs him. RVD rolls backwards and hit’s a Monkey Flip type maneuver with just his legs as Punk bounces off the ropes. Punk tags out to Jericho who enters the ring and runs right into an Arm Drag by RVD. Jericho gets back up quickly and runs right into a Spin Kick that floors him. RVD bounces off the ropes and drops down on Jericho with the Rolling Thunder. RVD pins Jericho for a two count then tags out to Big Show. Show enters the ring and grabs Jericho by the head, throwing him into the corner with ease. Show shushes the crowd then licks his hand and delivers an echoing slap to the chest, then three more. Show whips Jericho into the opposing corner then charges after him but runs right into a boot to the face. Jericho pulls himself up onto the second rope and dives off hitting a Bulldog on Big Show. Jericho hit’s the Lionsault on Big Show, quite early in the match but Show kicks out with authority. Jericho tags out to Punk who climbs up to the top rope. For the first time in years Punk hit a Twisting Moonsault into a Neckbreaker on the Big Show. Punk seemed nervous about attempting this move as he once cracked his skull trying to perform it. Punk covered Big Show but the big man kicked out at two. Punk holds Big Show in a Hammer Lock and attempts a Clothesline but he bounces right off the big man. Punk does this three more times until Jericho climbs up on the top rope and gives Big Show a Missile Dropkick to the back of the head, finally knocking him down. Punk covered Big Show but he kicked out at two once more. Punk tagged out to Jericho who gave Big Show a few stomps to the head. Jericho whipped Big Show off the ropes but Show plowed him down with a Clothesline. Both men reached for their partners but Jericho tagged out first. Punk entered the ring and dove onto Big Show, punching away at him from on top of his back but Big Show stood up with Punk still holding onto his back like a little monkey and tagged out to RVD. Punk dropped down off of Big Show who exited the ring to recover and went to kick RVD, but Van Dam caught his foot and hit a Step Over Spinning Heel Kick. Jericho ran in but ran right into a Spinning Heel Kick of his own. Punk received the Steam Roller (Rolling Samoan Drop) followed up by a Split-Legged Moonsault. RVD almost got three but Jericho broke it up at the last second with a dive on top of RVD. Big Show grabbed Jericho by the leg and dragged him under the bottom rope to the outside. The two fought around ring side while RVD picked up CM Punk and placed him on the top rope, straddled on the top turnbuckle. RVD went to the other side of the ring and fired up the crowd with a R-V-D thumb gesture, but in the mean time Vicki Adams tossed a can of spray paint to CM Punk and jumped on the apron to distract the referee. RVD charged at Punk and ran up the ropes one by one but got nailed with the can of spray paint when he hit the second rope. Punk laid in several more spray-paint can shots to the head of RVD before tossing it out of the ring. Punk positioned his feet justly and hooked RVD’s arms behind his back. The crowd exploded knowing what was coming but because of WWE politics, the Pepsi Plunge looked a little bit different tonight as instead of a Top Rope Pedigree, Punk left the crowd a-gasp with a top rope Butterfly Powerbomb into the center of the ring that left both men down and out. Surrounded by a barrage of “Holy Shit” chants, Punk crawled over to Van Dam who was out cold and draped his arm across his chest for the three.

Winners: CM Punk and Chris Jericho

JR: “My god that CM Punk is absolutely insane!”

Jerry Lawler: “I’ll say JR. He’s off his rocker! That move he finished off RVD was that of a madman’s!”

JR: “Or maybe a desperate man’s, but either way it got the job done tonight! Ladies and gentlemen we’ve got only one match left. Lastly but not leastly, we’ve got our World Heavyweight Title Match in a stipulation that you chose. Lets take a look.”

We see a hype video of Triple H and John Cena’s first encounter, the mind games of John Cena hiring Stephanie McMahon as new General Manager, Cena and Triple H’s tag match, and finally the bloody brawl they had last night. We then see the fan’s votes and how tonight’s match will be a Street Fight.

John Cena vs. Triple H - Heavyweight Title - Street Fight

The roof shakes as the crowd pops when Cena’s music plays and the Heavyweight Champion comes out on stage. As Cena enters the ring hands his title to the referee and takes off his jersey. “The Game” by Motorhead hits next to a lot of heat as the challanger, Triple H makes his way out on stage. Triple H makes his way down to the ring and spits his water dramatically on the apron then enters the ring. The two stare each other down from opposite sides of the ring then meet each other in the dead-center exchanging right hands, which Cena takes control of. Cena whips Triple H off the ropes and hits him with a Back Body Drop, following it up with a big Clothesline. Cena drops down and unleashes a few mounted punches on Triple H. Cena fires up the crowd then gets in Triple H’s face as he tries to get up, throwing out the “You Can’t See Me” gesture. Cena grabs Triple H by the hair and slams his face into the top turnbuckle. Cena fires off a few right hands but Triple H grabs scores with a high knee to the gut and puts Cena in the corner, unleashing right hand after right hand. Triple H dragged Cena over to the ropes and whipped him off of them, catching him with a big Arn Anderson Spinebuster right in the center of the ring for a two count. Triple H raises Cena’s legs and delivers a Jumping Knee Drop in-between them. Triple H exits the ring and throws the ring timer out of his chair, stealing it and entering the ring with it. Triple H charges at Cena with the chair but gets a right hand to the abdomen that causes him to drop the chair. Cena gets up to his full composure and delivers a Stalling Vertical Suplex, even arrogantly doing the “You Can’t See Me” Gesture while holding Triple H in the air. Cena covered Triple H but only got two. Cena grabbed the steel chair and waited for Triple H to get up and when he did Cena cracked the chair over his head. Cena threw the chair to the ground and threw up the Double Horns. Cena picked up Triple H and lifted him onto his shoulders for the F-U, trying to end it early, but Triple H slipped out the back door and delivered a high knee to the gut when Cena turned around. A bloody Triple H fired off a few right hands to the temple of Cena then went to whip him off the ropes only for it to be reversed. Triple H ducked a Cena Clothesline and both men bounced off opposing ropes but Triple H nailed Cena with a Jumping Knee to the face on the way back. Triple H covered Cena but only got two. Triple H grabbed Cena by the head and threw him out of the ring through the middle rope. Triple H pulled another chair out from underneath the ring but left it on the ground for a moment. Triple H lifted up Cena for a Back Drop but dropped him straddling on the barricade. Triple H then nailed Cena with the chair so he fell into the audience. Triple H slammed the chair down and entered the audience firing off right hands to Cena as the two fought through the audience. Triple H held control of the fight until they managed to exit the audience and find themselves on the side of the entrance stage. Triple H went to whip Cena into a wall but Cena reversed and sent Triple H back first into concrete. Cena dragged Triple H up the stairs onto the stage and gave him a Scoop Slam onto the steel girder. Triple H rolled down the ramp until he reached ringside again. Cena pulled out a trash can from underneath the ring and gave it a huge dent over Triple H’s head. Cena put the trash can on the ground and held Triple H in place for a Powerbomb. Triple H delivered a Back Body Drop to Cena, who landed on the Trash Can, crushing it. Triple H grabbed Cena’s steel chain from the corner of the ring and wrapped it around his fist. Cena groggily walked over to Triple H who cleaned his clock with the chain. Triple H dropped down and delieverd several mounted punches with the chain, busting Cena open. Triple H wiped Cena’s blood off his face with his hand and wiped it over his chest, yelling profanities in his face. Triple H tossed the chain back into the ring and followed it by tossing Cena in too. Triple H entered the ring and covered Cena but the resilient champion kicked out at two. Triple H picked Cena up and put him inbetween his legs for the Pedigree, but Cena dropped down and delivered a low blow. Cena got his second wind as Triple H was doubled-over, and bounced off the ropes hitting the Throw Back, slamming Triple H’s face into the chair. Cena fired up the crowd by clapping his hands and stomping around the ring as Triple H tried to pull himself to his feet. Cena whipped Triple H off the ropes and nailed him with a running Shoulder Tackle. Triple H got back up quickly and ran right into a Sit Out Hip Toss. Cena gave one more “You Can’t See Me” Gesture and bounced off the ropes hitting the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena called for the end, picking up Triple H onto his shoulders for the F-U once more but again, Triple H escaped by delivering a rake to the eyes. Triple H went to whip Cena off the ropes but Cena reversed. Cena went to duck a Clothesline but ducked too early and received a Knee Smash to the face. Cena groggily walked around until Triple H gave him a kick to the gut and delivered the Pedigree. The bloody challanger covered the bloody champion but Cena got his foot on the bottom rope. Triple H, now irate, grabbed Cena’s spinning title and as he got to his feet, clobbered him with it with such force it knocked Cena threw the middle ropes. Triple H reached through the ropes to grab Cena but got smoke from a fire extinguisher shot into his face. Triple H tried to stand back up but accidently bounced his back off the top rope and couldn’t move in time to dodge Cena nailing him in the face with the fire extinguisher. Cena dropped the fire extinguisher and reached under the ring once more. Cena pulled out a table and slid it into the ring then went back under the ring looking for something. Cena pulled out a sledgehammer and climbed into the ring with it. Triple H pulled himself to his feet slowly but as he turned around he got the sledgehammer to the gut, then had his chin lifted up so Cena could see his face long enough to hit him in the face with the sledgehammer once more. Cena set the table up in the middle of the ring, tossing the sledgehammer out and picked up Triple H on his shoulders for a third time. Cena finally delivered the F-U through the table and covered him for the three count, retaining his title.

Phase One Complete

The tag team champions, William Regal and Paul Mitchell are backstage in the interview area with Josh Matthews.

Matthews: “William Regal, Paul Mitchell, last Sunday you two men defeated the New Road Warriors for the tag team titles. Now you mentioned before that winning the tag team titles were phase one of a master plan of yours, what…”

Regal snatched the microphone out of Josh Matthews’ hands.

Regal: “Will you shut your mouth you bloody little toe rag! Mr. Mitchell, please dispose of this rubbish that pesters us, shall you?”

Mitchell grabs Josh Matthews by the collar and throws him off-screen violently.

Regal: “It’s quite true that Mr. Mitchell and I have a master plan that is slowly unfolding. In due time all you filthy Americans will come to see our master plan. You will see it, you will understand it, and you will bow to it like the grubby little worms that you are. You see, for years you Americans have been spreading your imperialistic plague throughout the earth. Now it is our turn. We will tear through every young punk as only this scoundrel to my right, and this scoundrel on the microphone can! Slowly but surely, we Brits shall spread OUR imperialism through America, and force you to conform to OUR ways. It’s my understanding that our first challengers for our newly won titles are Amore Da Odiare. If you want these titles boys, you’ll have to pry them off of our cold dead corpses, because the first time we see you… we’re going to leave you lying on the ground, BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP!”

Overall: 66

MNM (Melina, Nitro and Mercury) vs. Amore Da Odiare and Jillian Hall

A fair match that would have been better without the women, but luckily they were only in for a very short time, and let the men wrestle most of the match. MNM worked over Vito most of the match but underestimated Nunzio as he got the hot tag and began clearing house with Flying Back elbows, Dropkicks, and Russian Legsweeps. Nunzio even laid out Melina with the Arrividerci, but then turned into the Super Kick by Mercury. Unfortunately for MNM, when Nunzio got knocked down, he fell right into the tag to Vito who began kicking ass and taking names. The end came when Vito finally laid our Nitro with the Mafia Kick, knocking him off the apron into the barricade, then hitting Mercury with the Luca Brasi for the three count.

Unappreciation

Eric Bischoff is sitting in his office, putting up a large portrait of himself in the room.

Bischoff: “Ah, its beautiful.”

The door opens and in walks Torrie Wilson.

Bischoff: “Speaking of beautiful… Torrie, just the girl I wanted to see.”

Torrie: “Really, why is that?”

Bischoff: “You see Torrie, as I was in control of RAW I would always watch my competition closely. So week in and week out, I would watch Smackdown and I noticed that you hold pretty much no use here on Smackdown. You don’t give anything to this product, you’re a waste of space. I can’t believe you’re still under contract really. Why are we paying you Torrie? Why did that idiot Long keep you around?”

Torrie: “Mr. Bischoff, to be honest, I liked Mr. Long a lot more than you. He treated everyone with respect and honor, while you treat everyone like the scum you refuse to see yourself as. I’m a former Playboy Playmate Mr. Bischoff, Theodore Long kept me around because I keep the boys eyes fixated on the screens.”

Bischoff: “You know what? I don’t like your tone. Let me tell you something right now Torrie, I’m not running a runway model show, I’m running a wrestling show damnit. A wrestling show is filled with WRESTLERS. If you want your pay check this week you’ll get your ass in that ring and wrestle for it.”

Torrie: “Mr. Bischoff, I’m not a trained wrestler. I could get seriously hurt out there!”

Bischoff: “Don’t give me that crap Torrie. Oh I’m not a trained wrestler, wah, wah, wah! Cry me a river! If you don’t like the way I handle business, there’s the door, don’t let it hit you in your Playboy Playmate ass on the way out! Now you’ll get in the ring later tonight against an opponent of my choosing or you’ll be standing in the unemployment line tomorrow, are we clear?”

Torrie: “… yes, sir.”

Bischoff: “Good, now get the hell out!”

Overall: 88

Mexicools (Psychosis and Super Crazy) w/Juvi vs. New Road Warriors

Lots of double teams by the Mexicools that really got them over as a credible tag team in this match. For every time it looked as though the New Road Warriors could use their size and power advantage, the Mexicools would hit a double-team to make size and power useless. At one point Crazy went for a Crossbody on Animal but got caught. Before Animal could hit any maneuver on Super Crazy, Psychosis hit a Springboard Dropkick on the back of Crazy, knocking Animal over. Juvi blew the whole match for the Mexicools though when he jumped up on the apron to distract the referee. What Juvi failed to see was that Psychosis hit Heidenreich with a Sunset Flip in the middle of the ring, but Heidenreich refused to roll backwards so Crazy caught him with a Spinning Heel Kick. Psychosis looked like he would have had the three, but Animal entered the ring and gave him such a boot to the head that Heidenreich rolled back up on top of Psychosis with a pin of his own. Animal knocked Juvi off the apron, then threw caught Super Crazy and held him in a weak looking Bearhug so he couldn’t break up the pin. As The New Road Warriors went up the ramp way holding the victory, Super Crazy and Psychosis argued with Juvi about what had just happened. This resulted in Juvi blowing off Crazy and Psychosis and walking off.

Winners: New Road Warriors

US Champ On The Peep Show

The cameras come back from commercial to find Christian in the ring, in the middle of The Peep Show set-up, with a microphone in hand.

Christian: “Sunday, October Sixteenth, I went into the match of my life… and I gave The Undertaker the fight of his! I stood face to face with death, and I lost gracefully, but I took the dead man to school! Captain Charisma showed The Phenom some things that he has never seen before inside of the squared circle, and when it was all said and done, and all the smoke had cleared, my peeps gave me, Christian! The standing ovation that I so sorely deserve! Taker, you and me anytime, anywhere, in any kind of match! One on one, I’ll be there if you will. ‘Cuz that’s how I roll, Bitch! So, now that we’ve covered the past, and we’ve covered the future, lets talk about the present. Lets talk about the special guest tonight on the Peep Show. I had to pull a lot of strings to get this guy to appear on my show, but get ready because the Captain is about to make it happen, ladies and gentlemen, the United States Champion, Orlando Jordan!”

Orlando Jordan comes down to the ring to his music wearing his fancy blue suit and his US Title over his shoulder. Orlando enters the ring and struts around the set of The Peep Show with a cocky smile on his face. Orlando takes a microphone from the ring crew.

Orlando: “Your welcome Christian.”

Christian: “You know Orlando, I haven’t said thank you yet.”

Orlando: “I know, but you should have. You should be saying it over and over again because how often do you get to rub elbows with greatness like Orlando Jordan. I’ve been champ a hell of a long time Christian, and to be honest I don’t think there’s a soul alive or dead that can beat me for my title. And because I have such a winning streak, I had a lot of doubts about coming on this show, hosted by a loser! You couldn’t even beat that old geezer The Undertaker!”

Christian: “Where the hell do you get off coming on Captain Charisma’s show, in front of all his peeps! And disrespecting the host like this? I gave Taker a hell of a fight Sunday, you wouldn’t have lasted five seconds with him you pompous ass! Orlando, you think you’re so great because you were trained by JBL, but I’ve got news for you. You’re not JBL’s Chief of Staff, you’re more of his Chief of Ass! I’m sure you two have a very “special” kind of friendship Orlando, if you know what I mean.”

Orlando: “Are you insinuating a great man like JBL and I have a more than business like partnership? That man has been nothing more than a teacher to me!”

Christian: “Actually OJ, I think you’re guilty of having a life-member partnership with JBL, but isn’t it interesting that you brought it up before me, because I wasn’t insinuating anything. But since you do bring it up, I’m sure JBL’s taught you many things. I’m sure he taught you missionary, doggy, that loopdy loo and the sufferin’ sucker-tash!”

Orlando: “You know what Christian, you have about three seconds to take back everything you just said or I swear to god I will beat the holy hell out of you.”

Christian: “I’d like to see you try. I’ll say what I want, when I want. Because that’s just how I roll Orlando, and if you don’t get out of my face the peeps here tonight are going to get to see Orlando Jordan get the ass kicking of a lifetime!”

Jordan turns away to leave but then drops his belt and spins back around, taking a swing at Christian, which Captain Charisma blocks and knocks down OJ with a right hand of his own. Christian drops down to his knees and begins pounding away on OJ with right hand after right hand. Christian gets back up and gives his chest a few slaps then points to his Peeps who are cheering him on. Jordan gets back up to his feet and goes to run away but Christian grabs Orlando by his incredibly tall afro and yanks down on it, driving Jordan back into the mat and pounding away at him with even more right hands. As Christian makes good on his word, kicking OJ’s ass, John Bradshaw Layfield and Al Snow dash down the aisle and slide into the ring. Christian charges at JBL but runs right into a huge Clothesline from Al Snow. JBL and Snow lay in some boots on the fallen Christian while OJ regains his composure. Jordan and Snow grab hold of Christian and try to pick him up while JBL yells profanities in his face. Christian scores with a rake to the eyes of Jordan, then drops down to his knees and scores with a Low Blow on Snow. Christian quickly pulls himself back up to his feet but runs right into the Clothesline From Hell. Jordan regains his composure once more then grabs his US Title, pressing it up to Christian’s face and yelling profanities in his face once more.

What A Nut-Case

Funaki is backstage in the interview area with Aleister Dante who has his head buried in his arms, leaning up against/facing the wall.

Funaki: “This is Funaki, Smackdown’s NUMBER ONE announcer! Tonight, I am here with Aleister Dante. Up and Comer on the Smackdown roster. Mr. Dante, last Sunday, you interfered in Rey Mysterio and Booker T’s match, hitting Booker T with a vicious spinning roundhouse kick to the face. Why sir? Why?”

Aleister slowly turns around, clears his sinuses and answers.

Aleister: “Funaki, it’s really simple. One, I respect a man like Rey Mysterio. He spent most of his damn career pleasing the fans. Doing whatever he could to be looked at as great in their eyes. And how many title shots did that gain him? Sure he won the Cruiserweight and Tag Team Titles a few times, but no one ever looked at him as a worthy opponent for the World Heavyweight, or even US Title. Now Rey’s turned his back on the fans and become a true individual, just like me, Aleister Dante. All this time I thought Aleister Dante was the only true individual, the only true personification of unique on Smackdown, until I saw Rey Mysterio. Reason number two, Booker stands for everything I hate. He’s got a beautiful wife, a big house, a dog, a white picket-fence, tattoos, muscle, everything. Booker T has everything, so it only makes sense to take everything from him. And that is exactly what I plan on doing. Booker I’m going to strip you of all your worthless material possessions until you’re a miserable, hating, indecent, immoral, pile of vomit like me. That’s right Funaki, I know what I am. I can, to some degree, understand why these people boo me every week, but they’re really just booing me, they’re really just pointing their finger and judging me because they refuse to look at all of their flaws. They all want, they all strive, they all have a desire to be just like Booker T. Booker, you’ve had a taste of paradise all this time. All you’re career you’ve had it all, you’ve had everything! The change is coming Book. Are you ready? Are you ready for the change? So asks, Aleister… Dante!”

Just as Aleister finishes he gets floored by Booker T who runs over and knocks him down with a right hand. Booker lays in several right hands and boots to the face and chest as Aleister leans up against a big heavy metal box. Booker walks over to the other side of the interview set and grabs a steel trash can. Booker just hurls the trash can at Aleister, and it hits him right in the face. Booker then runs back over and lays in a few more stomps to the face and chest before a hoard of security can run over and pull him away. The camera follows Booker being dragged away then pans back over to Aleister Dante who is now bleeding from the mouth, just as he left Booker on Sunday, but Dante has a smile on his face and a glazed over look in his eyes. Dante begins to laugh diabolically. Dante’s laughter gets exponentially louder and louder as the camera fades out.

Torrie’s Opponent

Torrie Wilson comes down to the ring in her wrestling gear, ready for her opponent to come out. The crowd is shocked to hear the music of John Bradshaw Layfield. The white horned limo pulls out on stage and out-steps JBL in his wrestling gear. JBL comes down the aisle to a lot of heat and climbs into the ring as the bell sounds. Torrie looks scared to death as JBL stalls, adding suspense by stretching and testing the durability of the ropes. JBL walks over to Torrie and grabs her by the hair, dragging her around the ring violently looking. Before JBL can really do anything to her Chris Benoit’s music hits and the Rabid Wolverine runs down the aisle and slides into the ring, as JBL throws Torrie to the ground and she crawls out of the ring to safety. JBL misses with his first and only punch as Benoit floats behind the Wrestling God. JBL turns around into a barrage of punches until he’s back up against the ropes, where he gets slaughtered with Back Handed Chops across the chest that echo throughout the building. Benoit goes to whip JBL, but JBL reverses and tries to pull Benoit into a Short-Arm Clothesline, but Benoit floats behind again and this time hit’s a German Suplex that folds JBL up like an accordion. Benoit then quickly locks JBL in the Crossface, ripping and tearing at the Wrestling God. Orlando Jordan runs down for the second time tonight but Benoit releases the submission and exit’s the ring, helping Torrie Wilson back up the ramp way.

Clash Of Egos

Josh Matthews is backstage with Randy Orton in the interview area.

Matthews: “Randy Orton, tonight you and your partner Rey Mysterio take on the World Heavyweight Champion Batista, and Doug Basham in tag team action. After having just lost your title shot last Sunday, how are you feeling as far as confidence going into this match?”

Orton: “Well Josh you make a good point. Any other man alive would be quaking in his boots right now, having to go up against the man that beat him just a few days prior. BUT NOT ME! Not me Josh. I’m a third generation superstar damnit. I have greatness flowing in my veins! The only reason I lost my title shot last Sunday was because that idiot Eddie Guerrero couldn’t get it through his thick skull that Sunday was Randy Orton’s night! If Eddie had minded his own business and practiced falling down, I would have met him half-way to it and helped him with that, but I would have won the title because I, am, the, GREATEST superstar on Smackdown, and thus am the future… of this business.”

Just then, Rey Mysterio steps on-screen and gets in Orton’s face.

Orton: “I’m sorry kiddy, but I don’t sign autographs.”

Rey: “A real barrel of laughs Orton. You think you’re so big and bad don’t you, just because you’re 6’4”, 245 lbs. I’ve got news for you Orton. You’re nothing but a waste of space around here. Rey Mysterio is the man who brings the skills to the table. Rey Mysterio is the true star of Smackdown, and puts the butts in the seats week in and week out! It’s B.S. that you even got a title shot on Sunday, when it should have been me in that triple threat! I would have beaten you, Eddie, Batista and anyone else put in the match with one hand tied behind my back!”

Orton: “Ha! That’s a laugh. You think you’re a better wrestler than me Mysterio?”

Mysterio: “I don’t’ think I am, I know I am. I’m a better wrestler, a better entertainer, and an all around more dominating force than you. Tonight, I’ll make you and all these jackasses in the audience and at home, believers. You just sit back and take notes Orton!”

Mysterio shoves Orton and walks off.

Doug Basham and Batista vs. Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio

Rey and Orton seemed to be unwilling to tag one another in, in this match but made several blind tags during the match either when their partner had the advantage in the match or when the match was in danger of being lost. Rey Mysterio brought out an impressive arsenal tonight, different then usually as he used some cheaper tactics to take down The Animal Batista. One spot that got a big cringe from the crowd was when Randy Orton distracted the referee by trying to enter the ring, while Rey grabbed Batista and went for what looked like a Sliced Bread #2 but was thrown over Batista’s shoulder at the last second, landing on his feet behind him, then dropping to his knees and delivering a low blow to Batista. Batista had Rey scouted in this match though and allowed himself to receive the 619, just so he could catch Rey’s West Coast Pop and nail him with a Batista Bomb. Batista covered Rey as Orton entered the ring, but Orton stopped short as he heard Batista get the two count then turned and left, allowing Batista to get the three.

Winners: Doug Basham and Batista

Deadly Secret Admirer

Candice is eating at a concession table backstage when a rat runs across the table scaring Candice and causing her to jump back with a shriek. Just as she jumps back a giant stage light crashes down crushing the table, right where she was standing. She screams and looks up but sees no one. She then looks at the stage light and sees the same black heart-shaped note taped to it as the tool box last week. She opens it up and reads it aloud.

Candice: “Roses are red. So is your blood. Sorry I missed you last week, but wasn't it fun? I loath every bit of you as I hope you do me. Look in the mirror sometime and the reason you'll see. Become imperfect with me, Your Secret Admirer. ”

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero - Surprise Special Guest Ref: Al Snow

Benoit is shocked as after Eddie’s entrance Al Snow runs down the aisle wearing a referee suit. Al Snow tried to screw Benoit at least half a dozen times in this match, which made especially comical in the pinning war between Benoit and Eddie where Snow would count fast for Eddie and count slow for Benoit. Even in parts of the match where Eddie would blatantly choke Benoit, Snow would count to four then let it go for a few more seconds before finally pulling Eddie away. Despite all the interference from Snow this was definitely a match of the year contender. The end came when Guerrero hit the Three Amigos and went up top for the Frog Splash. Benoit rolled out of the way at the last second and Eddie kissed the canvas, then got locked quickly in the Crossface. Snow didn’t know what to do as he could see Guerrero was about to tap out so Snow jumped outside, pulled out his mannequin head from underneath the ring and hit himself in the face with it, knocking him down and out, or so it appeared. After Eddie tapped out for about eight seconds straight, Benoit released the submission and went over to see what Snow was doing. With Benoit noticing Snow was down and trying to pull himself up, Eddie pulled himself to his hands and knees and crawled over to Benoit where he rolled him up with a Schoolboy with his feet clearly on the top rope. Snow quickly slid back into the ring and delivered the lightning fast three count. Snow awarded Eddie the victory but Snow then got attacked by Benoit with a barrage of right hands. Eddie delivered a low blow to Benoit then exited the ring, grabbing a ring bell and a microphone. Eddie gave Snow the ring bell who clobbered Benoit with it.

Eddie: “Orale homes! Batista, man! Animal, I’m calling you out big boy! What I did to Benoit tonight, is just to send a message to you champ! You NEVER pinned me for the three count Sunday, and you sure as hell didn’t make me tap out, so as I see it, I’m still number one contender! Now Animal, Batista, get your big, furry ass down here and feel! My! Heat! Viva La Raza bitches!”

Eddie spiked the microphone into the ground as he helped Snow lay in some boots to the fallen Benoit. Finally, Batista’s music hits and the World Heavyweight Champion dashes down the aisle. Eddie and Snow ready themselves for a fight but just as Batista slides into the ring, Snow and Eddie exit the ring and walk up the ramp way with apathetic “forget it” motions with their hands.

Winner: Eddie Guerrero

Hardcore Shoot

Hardcore Holly is backstage once more this week in the interview area, but with no interviewer. Holly looks right into the camera and vents his grievances.

Holly: “Paul London, I’m getting a little tired of kicking your ass every week! How about for once you nut up or shut up punk!? You think that because you’re the “Cruiserweight Champion” that makes you a great wrestler. Hardcore Holly is a great wrestler boy, don’t you forget it. You’re the champion of a three-ring circus where all the acrobats damn-near kill themselves every night. You think that you’re more entertaining than any other wrestler on the roster just because you don’t care if you break your neck performing your own damn move. Let me tell you something, all you little men out there, but especially you Paul London… take a look at this scar on my arm! Kurt Angle hit a Moonsault off the top rope and broke my arm and I finished the damn match like a true tough wrestler would! Sixteen stitches and a metal plate put in my arm, and I’m still kicking all your asses. You spot-monkeys aren’t wrestlers, you’re just Hardcore Fodder! Any moron out there in TV land that used to look up to Hardcore Holly, How Do You Like Me Now?”

Overall Rating: 68

Hardcore Holly vs. Derrick King

A pretty brutal squash match. Derrick King brought out some innovative defensive counters, such as reversing a Full Nelson Slam into a Victory Roll, but got no real offensive maneuvers in the match. Holly finished off King pretty quick but to add insult to injury, after an Alabama Slam, Holly picked King back up and slammed him again with another Alabama Slam. Holly covered King for the three count. As Holly was awarded the victory, Holly went to the outside and grabbed a steel chair. Holly waited for Derrick King to get back up to his feet but before he could strike him, Paul London ran down the aisle and slid into the ring. London tore the chair out of Holly’s hands and gave Holly a shot to the gut with it. London dropped the chair below Holly’s doubled-overed face and hit a Jumping Rolling Rocker Dropper, driving Holly’s face into the chair. London grabbed his Cruiserweight Title and climbed up onto the second rope, posing as the champion.

Sylvain Grenier vs. Axl Rotten

Axl was a glutton for punishment tonight as Sylvain just kept beating on him and beating on him but the former ECW star refused to go down for the three. The crowd gave a small “Here we go Axl! Here we go!” chant as Rotten floored Grenier with a Clothesline and laid in several right hands and stomps. Rotten scored with a T-Bone Suplex for only a two count then set Grenier up for the Inverted Brainbuster, but in mid-air, Grenier shifted his weight and landed on his feet behind Rotten. Grenier gave Rotten such a blow to the back of the head that he fell into the referee, knocking the wind out of him. Grenier exited the ring and came back in with a steel chair. Axl got back up and received a brutal chair shot to the face. Grenier picked up Axl and delivered a brutal Piledriver onto the chair which was looked down upon by management. Grenier tossed the chair out of the ring and covered Axl as the referee woke up and counted the three.

Quiet Storm vs. Juvi

Juvi came to the ring alone tonight which was an odd sight, as he's usually surrounded by his fellow Mexicools. A near total-squash match but Quiet Storm got in some innovative maneuvers on Juvi. The match started off with a very old-school headlock-to-scissor hold beginning, which Juvi took into his favor when he hit a Drop Toe Hold on Storm, followed by rolling over his back and locking him in a Camel Clutch. Juvi brought out his whole arsenal in this match to make an example out of Quiet Storm but the end came when Juvi went up top, possibly for a 450 Splash. Storm jumped to his feet and shook the ropes. Storm climbed up to the top rope with Juvi and went for a Superplex, but Juvi countered with a Top Rope Juvi Driver for the three count.

Winner: Juvi

Wrestler Miniatures

The Health Inspectors come down to the ring for their match tonight. They climb in the ring and grab a microphone from Tony Chimmel.

Dean: “Steven, can you believe our luck? Tonight we’re facing two men that are so light, that you could literally throw thirty or forty feet in the air, especially if you were on my patented Simon System. Funaki, get off the pure rice diet, you’re in America now. You can eat meat!”

Steven: “Scotty, cut back on the dancing because clearly it’s a hell of a workout. I remember back when you were in your teens and you weighed nearly 300 lbs.! Then you started to do the worm and now look at you! Funaki couldn’t hit you with a handful of his rice! Boys we give you credit for not being a fat, lazy, slob like the blobs out here in the audience here tonight… but I think it’s time to put some of that meat back on your bones! So we the Health Inspectors give you Funaki, and you Scotty…”

Both At Same Time: “A C-!”

Overall Rating: 78

Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki vs. The Health Inspectors

A great match with sound psychology. The Health Inspectors work so great with each other that they know exactly when and how to cheat, interfering on each other’s behalf. Scotty got the hot tag near the end and began cleaning house. Scotty hit the Bulldog on Simon but as he went for the Worm, Steven Richards knocked him down with a Dropkick. Simon Dean held control over Scotty for a minute or two before Scotty came roaring back, leveling him with a Super Kick. Scotty covered Simon but Richards pulled the referee out of the ring through the bottom rope before the three could be administered. Funaki did a dive through the middle rope taking out Richards but as this distracted Scotty, Simon Dean quickly recovered. Scotty turned around into a kick to the gut by Simon, followed by the Simonizer for the three count.

The Real Fight For What’s Right

CM Punk’s music hits as he and Vicki Adams come down to the ring. They climb in and snatch the microphone from Lillian Garcia.

Punk: “Get the hell out of my ring slut! Look at you, you filthy tramp! You’ve probably slept with half the audience already. What’s your name in this town? Loose Lillian? God, you’re probably crawling with every STD known to man, and several only known to animals. As I look out at this crowd tonight, Vicki, do you know what I see? I see a plague that is sweeping across this nation! I see the end of everything that is just, and fair, and good in this world! Do you know what is causing this? Alcohol! The biggest dumbass move this country ever did was revoke the alcohol probation in the 1920’s. Because the white house was filled with booze-hound jackasses, now every man, woman, and child has to suffer the stench of you losers’ here tonight’s intoxication! If I had a dime for every…”

CM Punk is cut off by Danny Basham’s patriotic music. Basham comes out on stage with a microphone in hand, dressed to wrestle.

Basham: “Punk, you just don’t get it do you? You can badmouth these people, you can badmouth their habits, and you can badmouth decisions made by certain people, but when you start making a bad name of the greatest country on the planet, I’m talking about the USA!… then you’re making a mockery out of Danny Basham, and that’s something you don’t do without consequences! It‘s these people’s right to drink if they want, say what they want and it’s my right, right now to interrupt you and show you some of those consequences! Only in America! Punk to quote a great man with a great hat on his great head, I WANT YOU… to shut your mouth!”

Punk: “How about you come down to this ring and shut my mouth! How about you get your ass down here and show me some of those consequences you pig-headed fraud of a redneck!”

Basham dropped his microphone and charged the ring as Vicki Adams made her exit, and the match was on!

Overall Rating: 72

Danny Basham vs. CM Punk w/Vicki Adams

A pure brawl match that spilled out to the outside early when Punk hit a downed Basham with a stiff kick to the ribs, that sent him rolling through the ropes. Punk hit some Suplexes on the outside, but Basham got his second wind and with a fury of rights and lefts, Basham began repeatedly slamming Punk’s face into the barricade before throwing him back in the ring. The two wrestled back and forth with even momentum until Vicki Adams jumped up on the apron to try and distract Basham, but as she went to slap him, Basham blocked it and held her by the hair, looking to the crowd as what to do next. Punk charged Basham from behind but Basham dodged it and Punk stopped himself short from ramming into Adams. Basham rolled up Punk with a schoolboy but Punk kicked out at two. Basham and Punk both quickly got back up to their feet but Basham walked into a boot to the gut and Punk followed it up with the Devil’s Lock DDT for the three count.

Money On Their Mind and Mind On Their Money

Vice Patrol come down to the ring to their music, with Giddings in his wrestling gear but Henry in street clothes. Before Giddings’ opponent’s music hits, he grabs a microphone from the ring crew and tosses them a $20 bill.

Giddings: “Its remarkable to think that you people still boo me after all I’ve done for you! What do I have to do to impress you idiots!? The ladies aren’t impressed with my dashing good looks, despite how bad they want me. The men here aren’t impressed with my wrestling capabilities, or my debonair fashion, despite how bad they want to be me. I don’t understand you morons. Clearly the only way to get respect around here is to buy it. So open up your hands wide you filthy peasants! The Vice Patrol has got you covered. Mr. Henry, if you don’t mind?”

Mark Henry opens a briefcase he carried to the ring which holds several thousand dollars in rubber bands. Henry starts chucking them into the audience by the handfuls.

Giddings: “Now we’re in business. You gotta love business. You gotta love Donald Giddings… or else! Parisi, get your ass to the ring, so I can show you why you gotta love Donald Giddings!”

Overall Rating: 59

Donald Giddings w/Mark Henry vs. Johnny Parisi w/Val Venis

Venis and Parisi came down to the ring to their pornographic theme music and the match was on. A green-fest with Giddings really not able to gel with Parisi too well, botching a lot of maneuvers. Henry played a large part in this match, constantly tripping Parisi as he bounced off the ropes, or giving him a clubbing blow to the head as he leaned over the second rope. Giddings missed with a Top Rope Splash, shades of Jimmy Snuka when Parisi rolled out of the way. Venis and the ladies that accompanied him and Parisi to the ring cheered on Parisi as he got fired up and mopped the floor with Giddings. Parisi got to cocky however and as he went to fire up the crowd, Giddings got enough time to recuperate and deliver a rake to the eyes to the unsuspecting Parisi. Giddings took advantage of the blinded opponent with an X-Factor and covered him while Henry held his legs to the mat, not allowing him to kick out while Giddings got the three. Henry raised Giddings’s hand in victory in the middle of the ring but after checking on his partner, Venis slid into the ring and tried to jump Giddings, only to be intercepted by a Mark Henry Clothesline. Henry picked Venis up and made a slit-throat gesture but Giddings told Henry to leave so Henry tossed Venis back to the mat and the Vice Patrol left without disturbance.

“Real” Competition

The cameras show an exclusive event that happened at an autograph signing at an UFC event. “The Babyface Assassin” Josh Barnett sat at a wooden table covered in a white table-cloth signing autographs with a large line formed in front of him. Barnett finishes signing a picture of himself for a kid and hands it to him. Another child of about thirteen approaches him with a camera in his eager hands.

Kid: “Mr. Barnett, wow it’s a real honor sir.”

Barnett: “You bet your ass it’s an honor. You’re standing in front of the Babyface Assassin man.”

Kid: “Can I get a picture with you? It would really make my day.”

Barnett: “I don’t think so kid. That would mean you’d have to come closer than a foot from me. I don’t get that close to anyone who isn’t a fighter, and when I am that close to a fighter, I’m usually knocking them out cold.”

A large ripped man approaches the table, standing beside the kid. The camera pans out to find “The Problem Solver” Tyson Tomko.

Tomko: “Is there a problem here?”

Barnett: “No problem big guy, your son…”

Tomko: “Nephew.”

Barnett: “…Nephew, just thinks he’s already important enough to rub elbows with the greatness that is the 32 and 2, Babyface Assassin.”

Tomko: “Really? Because from what I heard, it sounds like the problem is you have an ego the size of your mouth, which incase you haven’t noticed is pretty big. Tyson Tomko, professional wrestler… and problem solver.”

Tomko pie faces Barnett who falls backwards out of his chair. Barnett gets back up and leaps over the table, trying to tackle Tomko but getting caught in a Bearhug. Barnett gives Tomko several knees to the ribs followed by a few forearm shots to the side of the head until Barnett is dropped to his feet. Barnett unleashes several more knees to the abdomen of Tomko until he is pushed off and rammed spine first into the side of the table. Tomko checks his face for blood then grabs Barnett by the throat, but Barnett fires off three stiff kicks directly to the ribcage, then one to the arm of Tomko to break his grasp on his throat. Barnett then hits such a quick Kimura Armbar (Chicken-Wing Armlock) takedown, that Tomko is driven shoulder first through the autograph table. Barnett holds Tomko in the Armbar until security pulls him off. Barnett then shoves them off and gets in Tomko’s face who’s holding both his shoulders/arms tenderly.

Barnett:“Josh Barnett… professional, AKA REAL! Fighter… and Babyface Assassin!”

The Heart Throbs vs. The Masterpieces

The crowd really got behind the Heart Throbs tonight, beginning to really despise The Masterpieces. Through much of this match, Antonio and Romeo were just fodder to show the strength of Masters and Snitsky, but the two did hit some offensive maneuvers here and there such as the occasional DDT, Enziguri and Running Back Elbow. The crowd exploded as did Antonio and Romeo when Masters was trying to lock Antonio in the Masterlock, but Romeo climbed up to the top rope and Antonio dropped to the mat just in time as Romeo dove off, hitting Masters with a Blockbuster. Antonio pinned Masters as Romeo attacked Snitsky who was standing on the apron to keep him out of the ring, allowing The Heart Throbs to pick up the win. The Heart Throbs shared a celebartion victory hug in the middle of the ring, clearly showing the underdogs won in this one, but Masters and Snitsky wouldn’t take this laying down. The Masterpieces got into the ring and while Snitsky floored Antonio with a Big Boot to the face, Masters knocked Romeo loopy with the Polish Hammer. Romeo got locked in the Masterlock while Snitsky grabbed a chair and put it across the throat of Antonio, choking him out.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Rene Dupree

A superb match that brought all aspects of a good match to the table. The match started off slow, holding an amature chain wrestling background of Benjamin, then began to pick up with Dupree’s psychology of the business as he began to lay in several chops to the chest and cheap shots. As the match progressed Benjamin began hitting bigger and bigger moves to leave the crowd entertained, such as the Springboard Clothesline in the center of the ring on Dupree. Dupree locked Benjamin in the Bonne Nuite at the end of the match but Benjamin ran up the ropes and threw himself backwards, turning the Cobra Clutch into a pin for a two count. Benjamin went for the Super Kick on Dupree, but Dupree caught it and threw Benjamin’s foot. Benjamin went for the Dragon Whip, but Dupree ducked it and Benjamin caught nothing surprisingly, landing back on the ground dizzy. Dupree stalked his prey from behind then hit the Bonne Nuite Slam (One and Only) for the three count, possibly the biggest upset of the night.

The Stealing Game

“My Time Is Now” hits as the arena explodes. The Heavyweight Champion who retained at Taboo Tuesday comes out on stage in his throwback, shorts, backwards baseball cap lock necklace, and of course his Heavyweight Title around his shoulder. Cena looks incredibly banged up from last night, having bumps and bruises all over his arms face and a large bandage over his forehead. After looking around at the crowd at the top of the stage, Cena comes down the ramp and enters the ring throwing up the double horns and taking a microphone from the ring crew.

Cena: “Yo, hey, check this out man. Feel me on this one. Taboo Tuesday, the champ walks in and takes a beating. Your boy, the New Franchise came too close a few times to a humiliating defeating. When the dust settled though, it was Cena, not Triple H, walking out as champ! My performances night in and night out leave his ex-wife Stephanie damp! That night Steph wanted some… and she came and got some! Stephanie came up to me and asked me if I wanted to have some fun. We got in her limo and drove out from the arena. She helped me with a video at the hotel called “One Night With Cena”! Triple H is probably getting all mad now, because he just hasn’t got it yet. He Can’t See Me!… unless he looks on the internet. Google Cena and Steph Hunter, you’ll find it entertaining-ah! But to get to the good stuff you’ll have to pass through all the X’s it’s containing-ah! Triple H, let me spread the news for you man, Game Over’s near! You went up against the New Franchise for my title… and the Champ is still here!”

Triple H comes out of nowhere and slides into the ring, Sledgehammer in hand. Cena turns around as Triple H blasts the champ in the face with the Sledgehammer. The crowd boo’s immensely as Triple H struts around the fallen champion, glaring at him. Triple H bounces off the ropes lightly then drops down and drives the edge of the Sledgehammer into Cena’s ribs, then does it three more times. Triple H tosses the Sledgehammer to the side and begins to pummel Cena with his bare fists. Triple H jumps to his feet and rips his shirt off over his head, throwing it to the ground. Triple H picks Cena up and delivers a sickening Pedigree right in the middle of the ring to Cena then grabs the Heavyweight Title and shoves it in Cena’s face, yelling profanities at him. Triple H then rolls out of the ring and straps the title around his waist, leaving with it.

Lord Of The Dance

The Heart Throbs are backstage with Maria in the interview area.

Maria: “Heart Throbs, just six days ago you guys saved Stacy from The Masterpieces. I’ve got to ask the questions that everyone wants to know! Question number one, do you have the hots for Super Stacy?”

Antonio: “Well Maria darling, it’s like this. Stacy is one super-fine chick. Any day, any time, anywhere, she wants to party with The Heart Throbs, we’ve got the moves to make her groove!”

Romeo: “We’ve got the shakes to make her quake!”

Antonio: “We’ve got the dances that make her… want to dance!”

Romeo: “Yeah!”

Antonio: “But as for a serious emotional relationship, no, that’s not why we saved Stacy. We saved Stacy, because we were inspired by our new mentor!”

Romeo: “Our new mentor is the master of the dance floor! He was busting moves when we were in the cradle! When his music hit’s the crowd has no choice but to join the party!”

Maria: “That’s what I thought. That leads me to my next question. Do either or both of you have a girlfriend!?”

Romeo: “No but maybe you’d like to be the Juliet to my Romeo.”

Antonio: “Maria, will you do the honor of dancing with us!?”

Maria excited: “Well I’m no ballerina but I know a few moves.”

Romeo flips over a garbage can behind them, while Antonio slams a boom box down on it. The two give each other a thumbs up, followed by Antonio hitting play. Their new super-grooving-techno-mix plays loudly as the two begin pulling out ridiculous Night At The Roxbury dance moves on each side of Maria. Maria actually dances with them, bumping and grinding with them but as her dance moves get dirtier and dirtier, the two look like their about to short circuit and begin getting the shakes. The two signal to each other that they have to get going before their hormones get the better of them, and the two begin dancing off down the hallway, looking back and pointing to Maria making “Call Me” gestures.

The Heart Throbs vs. The Masterpieces

A rematch from heat, with The Masterpieces once again throwing both The Heart Throbs around the ring like rag dolls. Antonio and Romeo used their speed advantage to dodge a lot of Snitsky and Masters’ striking attacks and fire off attacks of their own. The crowd cringed when Snitsky and Masters hit a double Flapjack on Romeo. Antonio tried to make the save by breaking up Snitsky’s pin but Masters locked him in the Masterlock until Antonio submitted. Masters refused to release the Masterlock and kept the pressure applied on Antonio. Snitsky picked up Romeo and lifted him up with a Military Press but before he could drop him, he noticed The Hurricane and Rosey sprinting down the aisle and sliding into the ring. Snitsky dropped Romeo as Masters released Antonio and a four-man brawl erupted between the World Tag champs and The Masterpieces, which resulted in Snitsky getting Clotheslined out of the ring and Masters getting Back Body Dropped out of the ring. RAW’s Superheroes saved the day on this one and helped The Heart Throbs back up to their feet.

A Change Of Heart

Shelton Benjamin is walking around backstage when he comes across Kerwin White who’s leaning up against a concrete wall glaring at him.

Benjamin: “You got a problem?”

Kerwin: “Funny you should mention that. I did. I had a problem Shelton. I thought that, if it wasn’t White it wasn’t right. I thought that people of a different ethnicity were inferior to me. I thought that because you were black I could walk into Taboo Tuesday and kick your ass from one side of the arena all the way to the next, easy as one-two-three. You proved me wrong. You pinned me in the center of the ring for the three. Congratulations.”

Kerwin held out his hand for a handshake which caught a suspicious Shelton Benjamin off guard. Shelton shook Kerwin’s hand then shot him a smile and turned to walk away, but Kerwin plowed him down with a forearm to the back of the head. Kerwin lays in several stomps on the fallen Shelton Benjamin then picks up a Trash Can near by and slams it into the fallen Shelton several times, while pouring the garbage out onto him.

Kerwin: “It’s too bad you couldn’t beat me by yourself you jackass! See Shelton, I’m an honest guy. I don’t hate you because you’re black. I just hate you in general! You could never, EVER beat an athlete like Kerwin White one on one without The Rock. You got me boy? Kerwin White is, and will forever be, a hundred times better than a piece of street-trash like Shelton Benjamin!”

Tajiri vs. Carlito - Intercontinental Title Rematch

Carlito was playing no games tonight and wanted his title back worse than ever. He showed a vicious side of him that we rarely see. Tajiri would not go down without a fight though and got a huge pop when he hit a Springboard Back Elbow. Carlito showed he’s done his research though as he caught a kick to the ribs from Tajiri, and hit him with a Spinebuster for a two count. Tajiri went to deliver the green mist to Carlito but he ducked it and the mist got right in the face of the referee, blinding him. Carlito went for a right hand on Tajiri but he ducked it and hit a Dragon Suplex. Rene Dupree runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Dupree knocks Tajiri inside out with a huge Clothesline, that gives him a flip in mid-air before landing. Rene picks Tajiri up onto his shoulder and drives him head-first into the mat with the Michinoku Driver II. Danny Basham slides into the ring and locks eyes with Dupree before firing off a fury of right hands. Basham grabs Dupree by the head and throws him over the top rope. Basham kicks Carlito in the gut who’s now getting up and delivers the Gut Wrench Powerbomb. Basham rolls out of the ring and continues to fight with Dupree back up the ramp. Tajiri pulls himself to his feet slowly, as does Carlito, but Tajiri gets up first and delivers the Buzzsaw Kick to the back of the head for the three.

Flair The Pack Mule

We see Ric Flair standing backstage with his hands on his hips and a disappointed look on his face. The camera pans out to find Eugene rummaging through a large wooden chest.

Eugene: “Ahah! Here it is! Here hold this.”

Flair gets a “what have I gotten myself into now” look on his face as we see Eugene pull out a three foot tall white teddy bear. Flair takes it and looks at Eugene with an expression that says “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Flair: “Are you kidding? What am I supposed to with this? Eugene, Eugene, Eugene, I know I lost to you at Taboo Tuesday. I recognize I’m your servant from here on out. Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the code that to be the man, WOO! You’ve got to beat the man, and you certainly did beat the man, man. But this is a little shameful. I mean I’m a sixteen time World Champion! I’m a limousine-riding, jet-flying…”

Eugene: “kiss-stealing, wheeling-dealing son of a gun! I know. I’ve been a big fan of yours and idolized you since your NWA days when you would face Harley Race night in and night out defending your title. But now, now you’re going to carry Mr. Buttons to the ring just like you carried half of your opponents through your career. Whether you like it, or you don't like it, learn to love it, because it's the best thing going today! Woo!”

Chris Jericho vs. Eugene w/Ric Flair and Mr. Buttons

A brilliant technically sound chain wrestling extravaganza. Things started off with a test of strength with Jericho striking Eugene with a kick to the gut as a cheap shot. Jericho held control of the match for a few minutes, unloading various Back Handed Chops, Backbreakers and chokes, but even in his assault Eugene got highly cheered for as he would continually fall with the Flair Flop, angering Flair on the outside. Mid-match Eugene took control of the match when he countered the Lionsault by lifting his knees. Eugene unloaded on Jericho with a variety of legendary maneuvers such as the Airplane Spin, Flying Axe Handle, and Ric Flair Backhanded Chops. The momentum was traded back and forth as the match continued but after Jericho tripped Eugene and went for the Walls Of Jericho, only to receive a rake to the eyes, Eugene knocked Y2J down with a big right hand that somewhat seemed out of character. Eugene leans through the ropes, whispering into a highly confused Ric Flair’s ear. Flair puzzled, hands Eugene Mr. Buttons as requested, runs to the other side of the ring and jumps on the apron to distract the referee. Eugene holds Mr. Buttons high into the air for a small pop, then tears his head off! Eugene pulls a lead pipe out from inside Mr. Buttons and clocks Jericho over the head with it! A utterly shocked Flair drops down off the apron as Eugene tosses the pipe out and does the Flair Strut before covering Jericho for the three count. Flair gets back in the ring and looks around at the two halves of Mr. Buttons, then Jericho, then Eugene. Flair gives Eugene a huge hug then excitedly raises his hand in victory.

Winner: Eugene

Where’s Your Champion Now?

We see backstage in Stephanie’s office. The door gets slammed open and in runs a panting and insane-looking Triple H. Triple H grabs Stephanie by the throat and slams her back-first into the wall then releases her throat but gets in her face, breathing heavily and snorting like an animal.

Triple H: “Stephanie, for years I’ve protected you from any idiot that thought he could put his hands on you. When you would come to the ring with me I made sure your safety came before mine. After all I’ve done for you through our marriage this is how you repay me you ungrateful bitch!?”

Stephanie turns to run away but Triple H slams his palm on the wall, blocking her path with his arm. Triple H uses his other hand to put the Heavyweight Title up against the side of Stephanie’s cheek.

Triple H: “Clearly our past means jack, so you go ahead and you screw me over week in and week out. You go ahead and you do whatever you want with Cena behind closed doors. I don’t give a rats ass Stephanie. I don’t give a rats ass about him, I don’t give a rats ass about you, I certainly don’t give a rat’s ass about the two of you together, I only care about this! The Heavyweight Title. I was so close at Taboo Tuesday Stephanie, SO CLOSE! Tonight, I did to Cena what I should have done at Taboo Tuesday, finish him off quick and violently! I underestimated Cena; it won’t happen again, I PROMISE YOU! Where’s your champion now Stephanie? He’s not here to protect you. He’s not here at all anymore. I took him out! He’s in an ambulance on the way to the hospital right now! Do you know why?… DO YOU!? Because of me! I guarantee you, and you can relay this message to Cena, that if I ever meet him for the title again, I will walk out as the WWE Champion, through hell or high water! Because I am The Game… and I am that… damn… GOOD!”

Triple H slams his hand on the wall scaring Stephanie then after some more dramatic heavy breathing and snorting they cut back to the ring.

Edge vs. Matt Hardy - Steel Cage Match/Lita banned from ringside

An absolutely brutal match with 110% all physicality. Lita made no appearance in this match due to her being banned from ringside for her own safety after Taboo’s Tuesday’s happenings. These two just didn’t know the meaning of the word quit, only suffering. At one point both Hardy and Edge were fighting up on the top rope, which they were using to climb up to get closer to the top of the cage and Edge walked it like a tight-rope, Spearing Hardy off. At another point, Hardy put the Edge’s Money In The Bank briefcase on his Edge’s face and dove off the top rope with a Legdrop onto it. The end came when Hardy dove off the top rope at Edge for a Spear but received a briefcase shot to the head rendering him down and out. Edge opened the briefcase and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Edge then pulled out a long thing chain out from his briefcase and wrapped one end around Hardy’s neck and the other end around the cage, holding his head still and choking him the whole time. Edge bounced off the ropes and three consecutive times nailed Hardy with the Spear into the cage before flipping him off and exiting through the door for the win.

Winner: Edge

CM Punk w/Vicki Adams vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels - Number One Contendership For Next Week

This match was spectacular, rivaling American Dragon vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Low-Ki as one of the best Triple Threats ever in professional wrestling. At first Shawn Michaels just sat back and watched CM Punk take on Kurt Angle as a test for Punk to see him prove himself as main event worthy. Angle the veteran held control of Punk for the opening minute but Punk began firing off a hell of a defensive line of maneuvers which lead into his own offensive arsenal such as the Double Underhooked Backbreaker, floating right into the Devil Lock. Michaels almost attacked Punk to break up the submission but he released it just before Angle could reach the rope and delivered a few elbow drops to the back of Angle. As soon as Angle got the upper hand though, Michaels jumped right in and blind-sided him. HBK and Punk teamed up on Angle through much of this match but their two egos would get the better of them and the two began fighting one another with half the crowd getting behind HBK and half getting behind Punk. The end came when Angle had Punk in the Angle Lock but Punk rolled through, throwing Angle right into the referee. Angle turned around right into the Sweet Chin Music by HBK. Before HBK could make any sort of pin though he was caught off guard by CM Punk who kicked him in the stomach and delivered the Devil’s Lock DDT. Punk covered HBK but the referee was out cold. Down the ramp ran Rob Van Dam who slid into the ring catching CM Punk’s attention. RVD drops Punk with a jumping Spin Kick to the face. RVD throws up his fists for a pop then picks up Punk between his legs and scores with a Tiger Faceplant. Before leaving, Mr. Monday Night jumped up onto the top rope and delivered an astounding Five Star Frog Splash to the down and out CM Punk. RVD rolled out of the ring where Vicki Adams went to slap him but RVD caught her slap and lifted her up onto his shoulder, carrying her to the backstage with him. HBK shook off the Devil’s Lock DDT and threw his arm over the unconscious CM Punk where the referee administered the three count.
