WWE SmackDown: Week 2, June 2004

 

http://i.imgur.com/WtzzVL1.jpg

WWE SmackDown!
Thursday, Week 2, June 2004

 

The opening video plays featuring the WWE Superstars that will be on the show tonight as
Michael Cole
and
Tazz
welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of WWE SmackDown!

 

The commentators hype the no-disqualification match later on between Scott Steiner and the Undertaker!

 

RATING:
85 (B+)

Notes:
None.

Hardcore Holly
vs.
John "Bradshaw" Layfield

 

A hard-hitting affair opened up SmackDown, and neither man pulled any punches with their bruising styles. This one was a stiff contest and both wrestlers looked good coming out of it. After a failed attempt at the Alabama Slam, Holly got caught with a Powerbomb and then a Clothesline From Hell for a Bradshaw victory.

 

RATING:
70 (C+)

Notes:
JBL's in-ring work has already improved since his gimmick change.

____________________________________________

 

Unable to curb his arrogance,
JBL
seeks to inflict more damage on his opponent. Lifting
Holly
up, he looks for another Powerbomb, but US Champion
John Cena
hits the ring! The Doctor of Thuganomics slides under the ropes and is in Bradshaw's face in the blink of an eye, hurling punches and knocking the dastardly villain away from his fallen foe! Cena throws wild punches and clotheslines JBL over the top rope! Bradshaw retreats to the back, holding his eye, which has swollen to an enormous size. The US Champ stands tall in this one, as SmackDown heads to a commercial break.

 

RATING:
87 (B+)

Notes:
None.

____________________________________________

 

In the back, WWE Champion
Eddie Guerrero
is standing with Sable, who mentions his tall task tonight against The Big Show and Luther Reigns. Guerrero has simple words for his opponents:

 

http://i.imgur.com/5mCsTSLs.jpg

"I just wanna let you know,
holmes
...that where I come from...
guerrero
means
warrior
...and I ain't goin' down without a fight,
ese
."

 

RATING:
65 ©

Notes:
Short, sweet. Eddie's performance was good but Reigns' overness killed this segment.

Londrick
vs.
Jamie Noble and Nunzio

 

Continuing to impress after their challenge for the WWE Tag Team titles, Paul London and Brian Kendrick matched up with fellow cruiserweights in this one. In a fast paced matchup that saw Nunzio nearly take the victory with the Sicilian Slice, Paul London hit a 450 Splash on the Italian for the win.

 

RATING:
66 (C+)

Notes:
8:44. Nunzio's gotten better with his aerial skills by being in the ring with these guys.

____________________________________________

 

Backstage,
Kurt Angle
is with Josh Matthews, talking about his hard luck since Judgment Day. Angle is frustrated and angry, saying that he still has his gold medals. He's still the best wrestler in this business. He's --

 

All of a sudden, a chuckling
Booker T
walks up.

 

http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIrs.jpg

"'Ey man, I couldn't help but hear you, Kurt. Talkin'bout how you
still
the best, you
still
a gold medalist, haha...you sound like an old ass man, Kurt. Accomplishments mean nothin', man, you know dat. You ain't the top dog here no more, Kurt, you lost your shot and now you go to the back o'the line."

 

Angle feigns a laugh and looks away for a second, before getting very intensely in the face of Booker T.

 

http://i.imgur.com/0eTjKMMs.jpg

"Oh yeah, Booker? Is that what you think? You think I can't
snap
your ankle at any time I want? Well how about this...how about next week, you step in the ring with me and I'll show you who's the top dog here on Thursday nights...or are you too busy getting your ass kicked by Big Show to show up?"

 

Booker agrees and walks off. We've got a match set for next week!

 

RATING:
74 (B-)

Notes:
None.

Billy Kidman w/Torrie Wilson
vs.
Orlando Jordan w/The Chosen Ones

Round 1; TV Title Tournament

 

These two put on a decent athletic competition, with Jordan trying to wear down the smaller Kidman. Every chance they got, Porter and Burke would harass Torrie Wilson or Kidman to cause a distraction, but Kidman put that to an end by hitting a springboard Shooting Star Press to the two on the outside! Kidman got back into the ring at the seven count. Jordan pounced immediately and looked for the Blackout, but the music of Rey Mysterio hit! After tossing Kidman aside and looking down the aisle, Jordan realized that Rey Rey actually wasn't coming out -- and turned around into a small package! Kidman picked up the win and will face Chavo Guerrero, the man who injured him a few weeks ago, in the second round of the tournament!

 

RATING:
56 (C-)

Notes:
7:38. Orlando Jordan's getting better in the ring.

____________________________________________

 

A quick backstage promo ensues backstage, with
Theodore Long
standing with
"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry
. Long cryptically reiterates his point that SmackDown and the WWE are scared of the destruction Mark Henry can cause, and so Mark is going to go out there and take what's his. By any means necessary.

 

RATING:
75 (B-)

Notes:
None.

Ultimo Dragon
vs.
Sakoda w/Akio

 

In a solid cruiserweight showcase, Sakoda's struggles continued after getting caught with an Asai DDT. Ultimo made the cover after a few minutes.

 

RATING:
55 (C-)

Notes:
6:07.

____________________________________________

 

Wearing a t-shirt and jeans,
Edge
is in the back with Sable. She asks him about Brock Lesnar and his assault last week, and how he was able to still pull off the victory over Kurt Angle. Edge says that Lesnar doesn't realize the fight that he's picked.

 

http://i.imgur.com/YqUuruUs.jpg

"Last year I underwent surgery on my neck and my doctors told me I'd never wrestle again. Well guess what, Brock, I fought and I fought, and I fought like hell to get where I am, and I'm not gonna let your beefed up punk ass take that from me. The Great American Bash is gonna be just like last week, just like Judgment Day...there's nothing you can do to keep me down and out, Brock. Absolutely nothing."

 

RATING:
76 (B-)

Notes:
None.

Eddie Guerrero
vs.
The Big Show and Luther Reigns

Handicap Match

 

Orchestrated by General Manager Paul Heyman, this match was a mugging and a farce from the start. Eddie gave it his all, reeling both of his opponents at different points, getting the crowd going a bit, but he was eventually put down at different points with a running big boot by Reigns and then a powerslam by Big Show to quell his second rally. Heyman's henchmen never wanted to defeat the champion, and instead found themselves disqualified after Big Show refused to let go of a vicious choke while Reigns stomped on Guerrero.

 

RATING:
79 (B)

Notes
: 11:59. Reigns is gonna inherit some in-ring skills from these guys. (I wanted to have Show and Reigns win, but Guerrero wouldn't let it happen even if Big Show pinned him.)

____________________________________________

 

The post-match antics were simply an extension of the match itself.
Reigns
and
Big Show
continued to destroy the WWE Champion as
Paul Heyman
walked out to the top of the ramp, applauding. Big Show finished him off with a Chokeslam before grabbing the WWE Championship belt and laying it across the champion's fallen carcass.

 

RATING:
70 (C+)

Notes
: Reigns underperformed, but Eddie was great in selling the assault.

____________________________________________

 

After a commercial break,
Paul Heyman
is in the back again, and a voice off-screen congratulates him on what happened out there. Heyman thanks him and says that he always gets what he wants ... even if it means taking it. Pushing a clipboard forward, a man signs a SmackDown contract -- it's
Mark Jindrak!

 

The commentators note that he voided his RAW contract, walking out on it, and here he is on SmackDown! They hype the potential future that this man has, and are excited to welcome him to the blue brand.

 

RATING:
56 (C-)

Notes
: Heyman did well in this segment.

The Undertaker
vs.
Scott Steiner

No Disqualification

 

These rivals took their dispute to a no-disqualification matchup to conclude this week's broadcast. Their second encounter was better than their first, with pure brawling as the premise. Both men laid a beating on one another, with Steiner looking to keep the Deadman grounded and 'Taker trying to use his agility to his advantage. Steiner used a variety of chokes to hurt the Phenom, trying to cut off the air flow at every turn. As the fight spilled around to the outside, 'Taker began to use his instinct. Eventually, Steiner found himself hit with a Last Ride through the Spanish announce table! Tossing Steiner into the ring, The Undertaker looked for the final "nail in the coffin," the Tombstone Piledriver. However, before he could lift up "Big Poppa Pump," a man came running out of the crowd!

 

http://i.imgur.com/S4VnQmH.jpg

 

It's Mark Henry! With his smarmy manager Theodore R. Long trailing behind him, "The World's Strongest Man" gets in the ring and pounds down on The Undertaker! He hits the World's Strongest Slam on the Deadman, and with the referee powerless to take action, Henry pulls Scott Steiner's arm over the Deadman's chest, Charles Robinson had no choice but to count three!

 

RATING:
71 (B-)

Notes
: 12:25. Steiner was getting tired, and honestly didn't look so great in the ring when he was fresh.

____________________________________________

 

After the bell,
Steiner's
lifeless body is declared the winner!
The Undertaker
continues to feel pain, as
Mark Henry
lifts up the near-seven footer and plants him with a second World's Strongest Slam for good measure! With The Undertaker having felt a great amount of punishment,
Theodore Long
calls off the assault -- raising Mark Henry's arms in the air as SmackDown concludes!

 

RATING:
81 (B)

Notes:
None.

Can't say I'm super surprised by the low rating -- I needed to wrap up the 'Taker/Steiner feud and I didn't think one match at Judgment Day would suffice. Their chemistry really hurt them a lot.

Pretty strong card but I just don't see too many big changes in terms of titles coming here. Still plenty of room for things to happen though!</p>

Lita and Mickie James vs. Molly Holly and Gail Kim

Challengers winning the tag match can put them in line for a title shot.

 

Just so you know, Lita won the title at Backlash ;)

 

I'm actually making really good progress on this PPV, I just have three matches left to write up before I'll be able to post it! Should be up within the next 2 days, I'd imagine.

The crowd took to them early, as Val started the match taking on Grenier. The two traded blows and went back and forth, with Val connecting with a Russian legsweep. Venis and Goldust looked to teach the youngsters a thing or two, and Goldust ended up facing off with Robert Conway. The Golden One looked good until he was caught with a DDT by Conway. <br id=""><br id="">The anti-Americans took over from there a bit, isolating Goldust. They went for the Au Revoir, but Venis broke it up. This allowed Goldust to recover and hit a reverse DDT to Conway. He went for the cover, but Conway kicked out at two! Goldust crawled over to the corner to make the hot tag to Venis, and Grenier was tagged in on the other end. Val landed a series of strikes and hit a half nelson slam! Conway tried to interfere as Val went for the Money Shot, but found himself being charged by Goldust! Conway pulled down the top rope, sending the Golden One to the floor, and pulled Grenier out of the way of Val’s finisher. He pulled Grenier to his feet and the two flattened Val with the Au Revoir, picking up the important victory for La Résistance!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 63 ©</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 8:58.<br id=""></span></div></div> </div><div style="position:relative;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 52.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 437px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">What an impressive win by these two fantastic young athletes, but Val Venis and Goldust should not hang their head about this one at all.

Christian tried to frustrate Shelton early with underhanded tactics, but Shelton eventually was able to grab into him and start a chain wrestling matchup for a couple of minutes. After an exchange which sent Christian into the ropes, Shelton caught him with a dropkick and got the crowd fired up! Christian rolled out of the ring to regroup with Rude and Trish, and Shelton didn’t give him a chance to recover – he hit a running flipping senton over the top rope, with Trish narrowly avoiding it! Rude and Christian were taken to the ground as Benjamin took himself out as well.</span><br id=""><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">The fight spilled to the outside for the next couple of minutes, with Shelton being illegally sent into the ring post by Tyson Rude! As the two competitors got back into the ring, Shelton snapped out of his daze and went for a Dragon Whip, but Christian threw his leg around and went for the Unprettier. Shelton was able to push him off and catch him with a Superkick! Trish jumped up on the apron as Shelton went for the cover, and the referee was distracted! As Shelton went to react and get up, Rude snuck in the ring behind Shelton and blasted him with the Northern Lariat! He picked up Christian, who lifted Benjamin up for the Unprettier and made the cover for the tainted victory!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 68 (C+)</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 10:35.<br id=""></span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; margin-top: 0px;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Another problem solved, JR, Shelton couldn't keep his eyes off of poor little innocent Trish!</span></div></div><div id=""></div></div></div><div style="position: relative;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 317px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">"Poor innocent Trish" my Oklahoma behind, you damn well know that Christian stole this one!</span></div></div><div id=""></div></div></div></div></div><div style="padding:0 5px;overflow:hidden;"><div id=""><div style="height: 18px; cursor: n-resize;"></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div id=""><span style="color: #ffffff;">___________________________________________________________________________________</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">In the back, <strong id="">Jeff Hardy</strong> is standing with Todd Grisham, who’s interviewing him about his return.

Flair started the match and hit some chops on D-Von, earning a “Wooo” from the crowd for every one landed. Flair then found himself, back to the corner in his own right, receiving chops and louder “Wooo”s by D-Von. Flair flopped out of the corner and the crowd popped, allowing D-Von to tag in Bubba Ray. After a bit of a beatdown from Bubba, Flair raked the eyes and was able to tag in Batista. The Animal treated Bubba Ray with an inverted atomic drop upon his arrival and dropped D-Von off the apron with a side elbow. Batista took control and locked Bubba Ray in a bearhug with his massive physique.</span><br id=""><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">After Bubba was able to break out using an eye rake, Batista found himself blinded. Bubba Ray landed a suplex. He tagged in D-Von and split Batista’s legs. D-Von climbed to the top and hit a diving headbutt to the … abdomen! D-Von went to take over by getting the crowd riled up. After a few strikes to Batista that had him reeling, D-Von went for a clothesline, but Flair grabbed his leg from the outside. He turned around and Batista kicked him in the gut. As he went for the Batista Bomb, Bubba Ray hit a chop block to turn the tides! Both men were out and D-Von made the hot tag to Bubba, with Flair as the new legal man as well. Flair received a few clotheslines and a back body drop. Bubba sent Flair into Batista, knocking him off the apron, and “The Nature Boy” turned around into a 3-D! The Dudley Boyz retained their tag team titles!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 60 ©</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 9:43.<br id=""></span></div></div> </div></div></div><div style="padding: 0px 5px; overflow: hidden;"><div id=""><div style="height: 18px; cursor: n-resize;"></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div id=""><span style="color: #ffffff;">___________________________________________________________________________________</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">After the match, the bell rings as <strong id="">Evolution </strong>retreats to the back, unsuccessful. <strong id="">Bubba Ray and D-Von </strong>celebrate in the ring with their titles, having been announced the winners!

color: #d3d3d3;">Johnny Nitro started this one looking to prove a point to the veteran Van Dam. Van Dam started the match with a series of quick pinfall attempts, but to no avail. He had Nitro reeling early, hitting him with a shuffling side kick to the face. Nitro went outside the ring to talk to Melina, and Van Dam faked a running plancha, making Nitro slip and fall to the ground in anticipation! RVD did his classic “R V D” finger points and Nitro was enraged. He got back in the ring and the two grappled, with Nitro pulling hair and gaining the advantage. Nitro worked on the legs of RVD, wisely trying to keep him grounded.</span><br id=""><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">After a few minutes of rest holds, the two fantastic athletes got back at it. Nitro hit a couple of European uppercuts, but Van Dam blocked one and dropkicked Nitro in the knee. RVD hit a monkey flip after a series of strikes, and then blocked a kick into a step-over spinning heel kick! Melina helped Nitro move out of the way of Rolling Thunder, and Nitro was back on the offensive. He picked up Van Dam, who hit another roundhouse kick to take control! A couple of minutes later, Van Dam went for the split-legged moonsault, but Nitro rolled out of the way! Immediately, Johnny went up and hit a <em id="">corkscrew</em> split-legged moonsault! Impressed, the crowd “wow”ed him, but RVD was able to kick out at two. Nitro was sick of it and wanted to go for his finisher, but then noticed a man in the crowd – it was Jeff Hardy! Jeff Hardy was standing on the stairs in the crowd and did nothing to provoke Nitro, but Nitro started jawing at him. He was nailed with a German Suplex by Van Dam followed by the Five Star Frog Splash for the win!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 70 (C+)</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: The psychology here could've been better,<br id="">but it was a good, entertaining match overall.<br id=""></span></div></div> </div></div></div><div style="padding: 0px 5px; overflow: hidden;"><div id=""><div style="height: 18px; cursor: n-resize;"></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div id=""><span style="color: #ffffff;">___________________________________________________________________________________</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">In the back, <strong id="">Randy Orton</strong> is standing with The Coach, holding his Intercontinental Championship.</span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; margin-top: 0px;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/DCSLsjNs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/DCSLsjNs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 52.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 418px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Tonight is just another night in the historic reign of “The Legend Killer” Randy Orton.

To get the crowd going early, Gunn extended his hand to the Englishman before slapping him across the face! A scowl formed across Regal’s face and the two locked up. They jockeyed for position for a while and the early part of the match was a virtual stalemate. The two battled around the ring with Gunn using his athleticism to his advantage, hitting a dropkick and latching on a rear chinlock.

He tried to pump up the crowd a bit and hit a hip toss next! A tilt-a-whirl slam led into the Fame Asser and Billy Gunn was a house of fire! He pushed Regal onto his back and went for the cover – but the referee was still out cold! As he looked to revive Earl Hebner, Regal reached into his trunks and pulled out brass knuckles! Billy ducked the first attempt and hit a DDT to send the knux flying! He picked them up and put them on his own hand, but as he was preparing to please the crowd, he was attacked by an <a href="http://i.imgur.com/XlPJR0J.jpg" rel="external nofollow">unknown assailant</a>!

Orton bounced right out of the corner and landed a big clothesline to gain control of the matchup. Orton toyed with Jericho for a little bit as he took the fight to him, landing European uppercuts and a few knee drops as he was prone. Orton posed for the crowd, an arrogant smile stretching across his face as he went back to work. After a few minutes of rest holds and counters, Orton looked for a gutwrench suplex. Ever the opportunist,  Jericho slipped out the back of the move, swiftly bounced off the ropes and landed a running enzuigiri. Both men were down as the referee’s count ensued.</span></div></div> </div><div style="position: relative; margin-top: 0px;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 314px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Jericho with a running enzuigiri, buying himself some time.

Jericho landed some chops and a spinning heel kick before landing a springboard dropkick to send Orton through the ropes to the floor. Jericho hit him with a baseball slide as he got up and the fight spilled to the outside. Seemingly out of desperation, Orton reversed an Irish whip, sending Jericho back-first into the steel steps! Orton then caught his breath and tried to keep up the pace. He planted Y2J with a DDT on the outside before rolling him into the ring for a two count. As he lifted up Jericho, the challenger tried to fight back. He hit a couple of kicks and punches, before running off the ropes – but he got caught with a snap powerslam by Orton! The champion made the cover again, but another two count.</span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; margin-top: 10px;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 306px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">When’s Jericho gonna learn to just give up, JR?

He stood and waited for the challenger to rise and looked for his finishing move, but Jericho pushed him off. He bounced backwards into a belly-to-back suplex. Orton got up and caught a dropkick, followed by a bulldog. Jericho then landed the Lionsault! Orton was just barely able to kick out as the entire crowd thought that there was going to be a new champion. The match went on for a few minutes longer, and both men had some offense left to give. A few unsuccessful roll-ups followed by Jericho, and Orton went for another RKO, which was countered into a small package! Caught completely off-guard, Randy was unable to kick out by the count of three, and Chris Jericho won the Intercontinental Title!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; top: 5px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 71 (B-)</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 20:06.

Lita started off against Gail Kim, and an athletic matchup ensued early. Gail tried to lock Lita into one of her many submission maneuvers, but the scrappy Women’s Champion continued to fight out of the attempted Dragon sleepers and Indian deathlocks early on. Both women were able to make a tag and this pitted the former Women’s Champion against RAW’s newest signing, Mickie James. Mickie impressed the crowd greatly with her counters, cartwheeling out of the way of a Holly attack and hitting a snap suplex.</span><br id=""><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">The match went back and forth on both sides until Molly eventually flattened Mickie with a northern lights suplex. James kicked out, but Molly used that momentum to control her in the corner. She tagged in Gail Kim, who locked in a reverse chinlock as the crowd began to clamor for Lita’s entry into the match. Gail tagged in Molly, who put on an arm wringer. Mickie James somersaulted through the arm wringer and hit a quick DDT! Mickie scurried over to Lita and tagged her in! She came in like a house of fire, knocking out both women, and the match continued. The finish came when Lita went for the Twist of Fate, but it was broken up by Gail Kim. All of a sudden, Mickie James ran in and hit a running Tornado DDT on Gail! Lita was able to hit her second attempt at the Twist of Fate as she and James picked up the win!</span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 49 (D+)</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 7:39.

The personal problems between these two were highlighted by the announce team, as Kane continuously tried to shrug “The Heartbreak Kid” off. The resilient veteran kept coming until he was hit with a couple of throat thrusts and driven into the corner. Kane took advantage by thrusting his entire body into Shawn, knocking the air out of him. Kane hit a scoop slam and dropped an elbow on Michaels. The big man continued the beatdown early on, dropping HBK with a backbreaker which garnered a two count.</span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom:10px; position:relative;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 31.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Shawn had better not take too many bumps on that bad back, or else Kane is gonna pick him apart and it's not gonna be pretty.</span></div></div><div id=""></div></div></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; top: 5px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">The match continued with Kane whipping Michaels into the corner, as he flipped up over the turnbuckle and out to the floor. Kane followed, looking to do more damage on the outside but Michaels was able to fight back. The match went on with both men breaking the count in order to stay on the outside. Eventually, Kane removed the covering of the announce table and placing Michaels on top of it. Shawn fought back with punches, eventually looking to drop Kane with a cross body while standing on top of the table, but Kane caught him and drove his back directly into the ring post! Michaels writhed in pain as Kane laughed, rolling him into the ring.</span></div></div> </div><div style="position: relative; margin-top: 10px;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 31.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Kane is a sick, sadistic man, and Shawn might require a great deal of medical attention after this one if he's not careful.</span></div></div><div id=""></div></div></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; top: 5px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">The fight wore on and Shawn continued to try and fight back. Kane got frustrated, walking outside the ring to acquire a steel chair, which he brought into the ring. Michaels knocked it out of his hands and began to fight back. He hit a weak but effective inverted atomic drop and hit a few more chops. As Kane came off the ropes, however, he caught Michaels with a DDT! Shawn kicked out at two, and Kane retrieved the chair once more. Waiting for Michaels to get up, Kane banged the chair on the ground. The referee pleaded with “The Big Red Machine” to no avail. As he lifted the chair up, the dazed Michaels dug deep and blasted him in the face with Sweet Chin Music! However, Kane fell through the ropes and out to the floor, making the pin impossible.</span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom:10px; position:relative;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 10.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Oh no, that was it!

Michaels went up to the top rope and landed a big Moonsault out to Kane, knocking him back to the ground! Michaels was going crazy off of adrenaline as he fought Kane onto the announce table. The prone body of Kane was on the table as Michaels climbed back up to the top rope! The crowd noise began to crescendo with anticipation as Michaels jumped off the top rope and landed an elbow drop to Kane’s chest, sending both men through the table! The crowd cheered loudly as the referee began his count. 1…2…3….4, both men were still down, but Michaels began to crawl.  5…6, his hand was on the apron as Kane started to stir. 7…8, Michaels pulled himself in the ring!

The referee sent Benoit back to his corner and checked both men for foreign objects before starting up the main event. A chain wrestling match began the bout, before descending into a shoving match and Triple H gaining the advantage with a clothesline. Benoit stood in the corner and glared at HHH before engaging in a test of strength. It ended with Triple H hitting the ropes and being planted with a hip toss. “The Game” escaped under the bottom rope, but “The Rabid Wolverine” gave chase and the two brawled along the ringside area. Benoit slammed the champion’s head into the barricade and sent him back into the ring, where he was caught with a high knee upon re-entering.</span></div></div> </div><div style="position:relative;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">And just like that, Benoit's momentum is brought to a halt.

Benoit broke his grip as he tried to lift him up, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a shoulder block. HHH reversed an Irish whip into the corner and Benoit came back by ducking a clothesline and hitting a German suplex! He kept his arms locked and went for a second, but Triple H elbowed out. He bounced off the ropes, but Benoit hit a back body drop sending HHH over the ropes to the floor! As Benoit pursued him, “The Game” raked the eyes, but Benoit ended up sending him flying into the steel steps anyway! The match went back into the ring and Benoit missed a diving headbutt! Triple H got up at a count of 7 and started to assault the challenger.</span></div></div> </div><div style="margin-bottom:10px; position:relative;" align="right"><div style="float:right;"><img style="float: right;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/gomN8bXs.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; right: 103px; top: 21px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-r.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; text-align: left; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 123px 10px 0px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Stupid move by Benoit, he took a risk and now "The Game" is in complete control.</span></div></div><div id=""></div></div></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; top: 5px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;">Triple H whipped him as hard as he could into the turnbuckle and Benoit bounced off the corner and shot backwards onto the ground. Triple H meticulously worked over the challenger with quite a few different rest holds for the next few minutes. He put his white “pay-per-view” boots to the ribs of Benoit and tossed him outside the ring, continuing the mugging outside. A few more rest holds inside the ring ensued until Benoit looked for an abdominal stretch, but The Game hip tossed him. As they got up, “The Game” went for a Pedigree, but Benoit reversed it into the Sharpshooter! After a couple of minutes, the champion finally reached the ropes, but was the worse for wear! As the two made their way to their feet, Benoit hit a German suplex…and a second…and a third…and a <em id="">fourth</em> before finally releasing the champion! At this point, Evolution ran down to ringside.</span></div></div> </div><div style="position: relative; margin-top: 10px;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 31.5px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 401px; top: 0px;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Oh no, here come the troops!

The referee looked at Orton, Batista, and Flair, and told them to stay away. Surprisingly, "The Game" stood up to his feet and waved off the troops again! Just as he ejected Flair and Batista from the locker room earlier, Triple H told the three of them to get back in the locker room! Confused, all three of the Evolution members started to walk back up the ramp, with the referee ensuring that they did not flake on Triple H's order. With the referee's back turned, Benoit went back on the attack, but was caught with a huge low blow by Triple H! The champion pushed Chris Benoit's head down and planted him with the Pedigree! Triple H kept the arm hooked and rolled him over for the academic three count to retain his title! Evolution celebrated in the ring together, arm-in-arm, with Benoit in a heap on the ground!<br id=""></span></div></div> </div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Rating</strong></span>: 88 (B+)</span><br id=""><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #d3d3d3;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong id="">Notes</strong></span>: 21:55. <br id=""></span></div></div> </div></div></div><div style="padding: 0px 5px; overflow: hidden;"><div id=""><div style="height: 18px; cursor: n-resize;"></div><div style="clear: both; position: relative; padding: 5px; margin: 5px 0px; height: auto; border: 1px solid transparent;"> <div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; display: block;"><div id=""><span style="color: #ffffff;">___________________________________________________________________________________</span></div></div> </div><div style="position: relative; margin-top: 0px;"><img style="float:left;" src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/M2X28hns.jpg"</a> alt="Speaker" height="113px" width="113px"><img style="position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 42px;" src="<a href="http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png" rel="external nofollow">http://fictionplus.interwebz.co.nz/images/layout/sbpointer/sb-pointer-d9d9d9-l.png"</a> height="20px" width="22px"><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; position: relative; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(217, 217, 217); margin: 0px 0px 10px 123px; padding: 7px; border-radius: 15px; width: 300px; height: auto;"><div style="" id=""><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">No!

<p>Excellent show!!! Batista's injury should actually improve Evolution's angle ratings for the next few weeks, so I wouldn't worry too much about that <img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As for Sandow! Awesome choice! Those two could have some great comedic moments, as well as get things done between the ropes too... Sandow's young at this stage too right? So a future mega star in the making if he stays with and learns from Regal <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Like I said, great show, well written, and exactly what you'd expect from the era... (Benoit built up as someone I thought would win the Gold, only to be screwed by a group who was having a bad night..) I actually went the total opposite, and had the rest of Evolution win, and HHH lose!! lol <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Well done buddy!</p>

Awesome choice! Those two could have some great comedic moments, as well as get things done between the ropes too... Sandow's young at this stage too right? So a future mega star in the making if he stays with and learns from Regal <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> Like I said, great show, well written, and exactly what you'd expect from the era...

Glad you liked Sandow (whose name will be a bit different), he's 22 at this time and I think that's a good enough age to debut him, since Dupree is 20, Akio is 23, Garrison Cade is 23, Nitro is 24...it's a bit of a youth movement in the WWE right now.</p><p> </p><p> Happy you thought it fit with the era, that's a big part of what I'm trying to convey.
