It still has "Click, Click, Boom by Saliva as the theme music. The opening promo vid made Austin look like a nutjob and that made me lol. Paul E and JR are on commentary!!!
Hardys vs Lance Storm and Hurricane. The Hardys are the wCw tag champs? The wCw ref is wearing some grey shirt with a red and white trim. Looks ugly. Match has a great finish including Lita doing a sweet diving hurracanrana to Lance Storm.
Vince arrives in style backstage. (Limo Flyin'
) Cole is there to ask him some questions. Vince is carrying his jacket and he asks Cole to help him put it on. Cole drops it!!! After it gets put on Vince says: " You ever drop my jacket like that again and I'll drop you!"
Kane vs Test... for some reason! Test nails Kane with the ring bell right in front of Nick Patrick. JR is angry. JR: He might have been distracted by your cap." Paul E: "It is a nice cap." Kane with a dropkick! The match was good, the crowd were really into it. For his shady officiating, Nick Patrick gets two chokeslams and a powerbomb from Kane.
Funny promo backstage between Coach, Debra and Austin.
Stacy's here!!!!!!!
Stacy vs Torrie is next. Both come out to suspiciously generic hip hop instrumentals. Editing?
JR: "Torrie is wrestling barefoot tonite. I noticed that - how sick am I."
Paul E: "I wanna be Jack Doan when I grow up!"
(After match)
Paul E: "Do you think they'll kiss and make up?"
JR: "In your dreams..."
Paul E: "I wish!"
Five star classic!
Edge vs Christian. Ladder match for the IC title. They are apparently blood brothers according to the promo video. Edge comes out to some song Google tells me is called 'Never Gonna Stop'. Great, great match. Some sick ladder spots. The finish with the top of the ladder Conchairto was superb.
Spike Dudley is drunk in WWF NY. Doing well for himself after Molly Holly dumped him apparently. A nice looking lady approaches him as he dimisses Heyman's questions.
Dudleys vs Show and Tajiri is next. Match was fine. I miss Tajiri. Those kicks! Massive chokeslam to Bubba!
Bubba (after the match to Heyman): "FOR THE ALLIANCE! FOR THE ALLIANCE!"
Paul E: "They did it for The Alliance JR."
Booker T vs Bikertaker is next. Rollin' is unedited. (Well, except for Durst's potty mouth
) "Booger Red" Jim? Wtf?! During this match I noticed that the stage/set looked like shit. Bland as hell. Booker hit a missle dropkick. It was a fine match alright.
Jericho vs The Rock for the wCw title. JR not so subtly buries WCW for their mishandling of Jericho. "He's only getting his first shot at the belt now even though he wrestled there from '96-'99. Says a lot about their booking at the time."
Sign in crowd:
Bring back King Lawler GTFO!!!!
*Jericho gets crotched on the top rope.* JR: "Jericho would wanna be wearing a cup. I'll never know though."
Paul E: "Wanna go check?"
JR: "I said that I'll never know!"
Jericho with a Rock Bottom for a huge 2 count! LOL now a Peoples Elbow! Crowd are split down the middle but there are no goofy "Lets go X/Lets go Y" chants. Steph out! she almost came out of her dress when Rock threw her over the ropes.
Sign in crowd:
I like 'em Steph
Excellent match. MOTN.
RVD/Austin/Angle main event. RVD is the Hardcore champ. That has to be a first. Austin's theme music suuuucks. RVD is over. Austin busting out an STF. Correctly applied too.
Austin is randomly flipping people off in the crowd. Angle actually hits the moonsault - beautiful.
It's Vince!!!! But whose side is he on??!! Oh yeah, Kurt.
Now Shane is out and brawling with Vince. Meanwhile, Austin is busy nailing RVD with a stunner. Good match.
Excellent show over all. A great mix of everything.
