They're on Meltzer's site...they are real.

I'd hope they are fake just because Wrestlezone is such a bullshit site that steals every single one of their stories from other sites. Oh well its conceivable one of their idiot readers was at the show and reported back.

From Wrestlezone You know the spoilers might be true but god is that site a joke. I'm not even sure if Matt Boone and Ryan Clark aren't the same person or even exsist at all. Seriously anyone know the real site they are stealing them from?

Wrestlezone? Okay what real site are they stealing them from?

Rankings listed this week are BCS rankings since those are the only rankings that really mean anything from now on.

MLB: -I guess I should say the A's winning it all in '89 but the earthquake took the the fun away from it and plus figured they'd win another next year. Whoops. -A's winning the division on my birthday in 2000 and I was at the game. Just a brilliant performance by Tim Hudson as they won 3-0 over the Rangers. So great to see them as winners again when the franchise seemed doomed just a few years earlier. NFL: -Obvious ones are 49ers Super Bowl wins although only have memories of watching the last three and the last two everyone knew would be easy going in. Of course the finish to Super Bowl XXIII was great. -'94 NFC Championship Game win over the Cowboys. That was the real Super Bowl that year and everyone knew and the 49ers had been bounced in the title game the previous two years. I cried I was so happy they finally beat them. -'98 NFC Wild Card Game, the Terrell Owens touchdown catch with three seconds left. Again like the Cowboy win it was made extra special because they'd been dominated by the Packers in previous years in the playoffs and finally beat them. -Random regular season ones: 30-27 come from behind win over the Rams in '89 on MNF where John Taylor had two 90+ yard touchdowns; Jerry Rice breaking Jim Brown's career touchdown record on MNF in '94 in a complete slaughter of the Raiders; '95 regular season blow out win of the Cowboys in Dallas. The 49ers went in only 6-5 after the Super Bowl win the previous year. Everyone was down on them and Steve Young was injured so Elvis Grbac started. They were 10+ point underdogs but they just went in there kicked the shit out of them 38-20 and it wasn't even that close. College Basketball -Stanford's come from behind in the last minute win over Rhode Island in '98 to advance to the Final Four for the first time in over 50 years. Point guard Arthur Lee had one of the most amazing minute's of basketball you will ever see.

Well look at it this way. If they are committed to doing the Eddy/Chavo feud that leaves only Big Show for either Angle or Cena if they don't continue their feud. Could make sense for Cena if they turn him face but Angle shouldn't be fighting for the U.S. Title. This also hinges on them definently going with Lesnar/Benoit for the title.

They didn't care about him before so why care now? He'll turn face and go back to being boring probably. Doubt it which makes him winning make even less sense. Midcard noose is off? Not likely. He'll feud with Chavo and now won't even get the chance of Chavo being U.S. Champ. Benoit is getting the title shot against Brock but it'll be the #4 in terms of promotion behind Vince/Taker, Shane/Kane, and whatever they do with the Goldberg/HHH match. Nope and Cena will get the win at Survivor Series although I thought he was going to win last night. Whoops sorry...forget everything I said.

Okay here it is a full Official BCS Top 25 and Bottom 10. 1. Oklahoma 2.77 2. Miami 4.10 3. Virginia Tech 10.23 4. Georgia 12.99 5. Florida State 13.14 6. Ohio State 13.20 7. USC 13.83 8.

Here is the projected Top 12 in the BCS tonight from collegebcs.com: 1. Oklahoma 2. Miami 3. Virginia Tech 4. Georgia 5. Ohio State 6. Florida State 7. USC 8. Purdue 9. Washington State 10. Northern Illinois 11. Nebraska 12. LSU Right now FSU and USC might be flipped and the last three could go in any direction. A couple of computer ratings are always purposely held from the public so the official rankings don't get leaked early. I've never understood why the BCS has to be such a big secret. Once the guy has his full official rankings posted tonight I'll post the Top 25 and Bottom 10.

Awww what a night. I remember I was at my cousin's wedding rehersal dinner and people were pissed they weren't going back to the game and taking bets on O.J. blowing his head off. Good times.

Jason Giambi has also been subpoenaed. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-y...ov=ap&type=lgns

This is a few days old but figured I'd post it: One of the other clients of this company is Bill Romanowski.

Bah, Canseco was a malcontent and had to get out of there. Problem with the trade was Sierra ended up turning into a roided up monster during the offseason and was never the same player. The A's were already on the down by then as in '91 their pitching got really old, really fast and didn't win the division and '92 was easily the best managing job Tony LaRussa ever did as they had a ton of injuries and relied a lot on role players. They would have sucked for for the next six years like they did with or without Canseco, and well with him during his god awful return in '97.

To the previous post sorry can't find a recap to the '98 show. I do have a recap this show though by E.C. Ostemeyer: Booker T & Sting & Goldberg d. Jeff Jarrett & Kronik, (Sting w/ Scorpion Death Drop on Jarrett/pin, 6:58) Tenay: "There's nobody that has the mindset of Goldberg. He's set for WAR here on Thunder!" Jarrett's in the ring for the heels first, and tries to jump Booker T when the Champ's back is turned. Booker turns just in time, and gives Jarrett a look. Goldberg, watching Jarrett's posturing in the ring, grins nastily. Kronik are at ringside, glowering. Tony: "Booker T, Sting, and Goldberg! The Dream Team!" (Surgeon General's Warning! The content of Mr. Schiavone's dialog has been found to contain unacceptably high levels of saccharin. Listen at your own risk.) "Halloween Havoc 4 Days Away!" chyron again, but it disappears before I can zonk it with my shoe. Booker T and Jeff Jarrett get started, as the crowd's chanting (?) "Gold-berg! Gold-berg!" Good headlock to front chancery hook-up and back for the Champ. Cross-ring run by Booker T, who blocks a hip-toss, then nails one of his own on Jeff Jarrett. Axe-kick drops Jarrett again. Booker wristlocks Jarrett, then tags in Goldberg. Jarrett, seeing Awful Danger about to descend upon him, struggles out of the wrist-lock, runs back to his corner. Once there, he taunts Goldberg with a "Come get some!" Bryan Adams wants the tag, and Jarrett gladly gives it to him. Adams and Goldberg stalk each other around the ring. Headlock by Adams, Goldberg with a shove off the ring ropes, Adams rebounds with a shoulder block that Goldberg no-sells big time. A nose-to-nose shouting match ensues, with the look on Adams face telling me that Goldberg had extra onions on his Big Mac. Whoops, Adams must have said "Phew!" or something, because Goldberg just snap- clotheslined him. Double underhook suplex by Goldberg, and Adams is in La-la Land. Goldberg spits, looks at the heels' corner, and grins evilly. Tony: "No one has EVER thrown Bryan Adams around like that!" (Uh, how 'bout Paul Wight? Kevin Nash? Stevie-freakin' RAY?) Goldberg tags in Sting. Adams tags Brian Clark. Sting backs around Clark, then wallops first Jarrett and then Adams, tumbling them both to the ring apron. Sting continues to work on Jarrett, as Clark is measuring Sting for some outrage. Clark charges in, but Sting sees him coming, and Clark's running knee-lift hits the top turnbuckle hard! Clark limps out of the corner, and Sting goes to work on the injured knee. Sting locks on the Scorpion Death Lock, but Adams reaches in and pulls Clark to the ropes, which breaks the hold. Sting tags Booker T, who starts chopping the big man down to size. Booker with a cross-ring whip. Clark ducks the clothesline, but no the follow-up bolo punch to the forehead. Clark goes down like a pole-axed steer. Cover by Booker T, 1,2, Clark kicks out. Clark hits a power surge, and cross-ring whips Booker, who, rebounding, gets hit in the back of the head by Bryan Adams. As Booker staggers forward, Clark drops him with a DDT. Clark tags Adams, and both men double-team a kick-fest with Booker's gut as Ground Zero. Adams with a sloppy piledriver, and a cover, but Booker gets a shoulder up. Adams and Goldberg jaw at each other over the prostrate body of Booker T. Adams tags in Jeff Jarrett, who punches Booker T right in the short ribs. Jarrett tosses Booker T into the far corner then climbs up for a "Ten -Count Punch-Down" although very few in the crowd are counting the blows. Cross-corner whip by Jarrett, but Booker's float-over lands athwart Jarrett's shoulders, and Booker does a SWEET Sunset Flip out of the corner, 1,2, Jarrett kicks out! Jarrett throws a wild punch, and Booker counters with a hangman's neckbreaker. It's a race to see who tags out first. Booker wins by tagging in BOTH Sting & Goldberg, and the Pier Six brawl is on again, pairing Sting w/ Jarrett, Goldberg w/Clark, Booker w/ Adams. Goldberg powerslams Clark, then sets up for the spear. As Clark turns in the corner, Goldberg charges in... ...Clark ducks to one side... ...and Goldberg spears himself headfirst into the STEEL ring post! There is an audible "Thock!" Goldberg slumps across the middle turnbuckle. Adams and Clark just stand there for a moment, watching. Then Adams moves, and drags Goldberg off the turnbuckle. Goldberg appears OUT COLD! Clark is checking on Goldberg, and then they both lay Goldberg carefully on the canvas. Adams goes for a gentle cover, Clark stops Booler T from making the save...1, 2... And Goldberg pushes him off! Goldberg rolls away, but he's still hurt. Adams and Clark tower over the prostrate Goldberg. Adams shrugs his shoulders, then signals Clark for their "High Times" finisher on Goldberg. They get him up... ...as we see Jarrett bouncing Booker T's head off the announcers table... ...then a quick cut back to the ring, just in time to see the end of the "High Times" finisher. Sting rolls back into the ring, golottas Clark, then starts in toe-to-toe with Adams. Goldberg rolls from the ring, and Scott Steiner runs out to get a piece of Booker T. This comes to naught, as Booker T bounces Steiner's head off the steel guardrail. Sting, meanwhile, has gotten the better of Bryan Adams, walloping him with a towering Stinger Splash. Jarrett, in "El-Kabong" mode, takes a swing...and a miss. Sting nails Jarrett with the Scorpion Death Drop, and a cover,1, 2, 3 thus ending the match. Post-match, we've got Kronik walloping on Goldberg at ringside, while Scott Steiner enters the ring and nails Sting with a lead pipe. Jarrett takes advantage, and locks Sting into a Figure Four leglock. Booker T gets the lead pipe treatment three times, followed by the "Steiner Recliner." Tony hollers: "Kronik has Goldberg OUT!" Stevie Ray: "Somebody get some help out here!" Steiner releases the "Recliner' and glowers down at Booker T.

Those all sounded like they were great. Wasn't October 25th 1999 the start of The Powers To Be Angle? Eddy/JL vs. Benoit/Malenko is recapped by Michael T. Tyler, the two '97 matches are recapped by John Petrie, and the last two matches are recapped by CRZ. I don't think this is specifically when the Powers that Be angle began (might have been a couple of weeks earlier) but this was certainly when the Russo booking kicked in to high gear. I've added a recap at the end. Mr JL/Edy Guerrero defeated Chris Benoit/Dean Malenko. COMMENTS: Alex Wright came to ringside in crutches because he had an ankle injury. Great match. The only problem I have is the stupid cut-in of the Scott Norton/Shark situation. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! Back to the match, Malenko/Benoit controlled most of the match. This match had good high spots including one time when Guerrero came into the ring and dlipped both Malenko and Benoit. The end comes when Alex Wright trips up Malenko with this crutch and JL rolled up Malenko for the win. I can't remember the exact high spots because I am doing this from memory, but there were plenty of them. RATING:3.5* TIME~12:00 AFTERMATCH: As Edy, JL and Alex were walking down to the aisle going back to the dressing rooms, Brian Pillman DDTed Edy Guerrero and showed the 4-Horsemen sign with his hand. QUOTE THIS: B*tchoff was advertising Mike Tenay's hotline saying he has the results of In Your House PPV, McMichaels responded: "You mean In Your Outhouse." Well put for a change. CHRIS BENOIT vs. EDDIE GUERRERO Eddie's got really lame music now. Sort of a low-rider, Tijuana brass arrangement. The match started of like it would be a classic. Fast, stiff and fierce action. The high spot was Benoit nailing Guerrero with a tope through the ropes from the ring to the floor. Then they cut to commercial. Once back we see Benoit is in an Abdominal Stretch. He breaks free, they do a spot on the corner turnbuckles that doesn't amount to anything, then Benoit knocks himself out by ramming his head into the turnbuckles. The referee pushes Eddie away to see if Benoit is injured. Eddie takes the opportunity to climb to the top and come off with the Frog Splash. Eddie gets the pin. Promising match almost totally ruined by the commercial break. They cut away just as things were getting hot, came back for a resthold, then finished just a few minutes later. Benoit fans are at least able to say "he beat himself", while the win makes Guerrero's probable upcoming title loss to Rey Mysterio, Jr. that much more unrealistic. (After all, if Guerrero can beat Benoit-a "heavyweight"-how could he ever lose to that flyspeck Mysterio?) DEAN MALENKO vs. CURT HENNIG Malenko just looked too small to effectively battle Hennig. Still, he actually seemed to be winning the match. The end came when Malenko whipped Hennig chest-first into the corner and followed. Malenko lowered his head and lightly bumped into Hennig's shoulder. Suddenly it's as if he's been nailed with a chair or something. He begins staggering around, leaving him wide open for Hennig to apply the Hennig-Plex for the win. CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO v. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE for the WCW World Television Championship - Page walks out through the crowd because he's a suck-up. I predict a time limit draw but hope I'm wrong. I also predict that if it IS a time limit draw, it won't be anywhere NEAR the correct time. Didn't Goldberg actually get counted out on THUNDER! once a few weeks back? Oh, forgot about that, didn't we. Anyway, Jericho stalls to start which leads me to believe that time limit thing - lockup, Jericho knocked down. He complains to referee "Blind" Mickey Jaye about a hairpull. Hey, anybody seen Jimmy Jett lately? Lockup, Jericho with armdrag, Page reverses, Jericho down, kip up, reverse, reverse, Jericho pushes him to the canvas and quickly exits the ring when Page pops back up and chases him. Back in we go, lockup, side headlock, Page with the elbows to the back, powers him off but Jericho knocks him down. Dueling hiptoss attmepts after coming off the ropes, nice somersault by Jericho but Pag hits the left-handed lariat. Faceslam - 1, 2, Jericho grabs the rope. In the corner, Page is going for the ten punch countalong but Jericho picks him up and drops his face on the turnbuckle. Nice dropkick and Page falls from the apron to the floor. Jericho goes out, kicking Page in the head on the way down. Whip into the barricade. Back in the ring, three minutes down. Arrogant cover for 1. Hmm, Page is in the main event at Sunday's PPV - think Jericho will win? Another 2 count. Knee to the chest, head to the canvas. Page fires back with rights and lefts and a "discus clothesline" To the corner hard, when he comes out Page catches him in a belly-to-back suplex, but only gets 2. Jawbreaker by Jericho - clothesline - quebrada for two. Suplex attempt is blocked and countered into a cross armbreaker, which for some reason Page drops to try a cover - only 2. Diamond Cutter attempt is countered with a backslide attempt, and unseen by the ref, a back Golotta by Jericho. Jericho tries to put on the Liontamer, but Page fights it - then legs to whip Jericho to the canvas. Duck clothesline, Page hits a tiltawhirl slam. Page motions for the Diamond Cutter. But here's GREENBERG, spearing Jericho (DQ 5:31) and Page manages to give Jericho the Diamond Cutter before he and Goldberg try to get at each other. All five refs and J.J. DILLON are out to try to separate them, and this exciting action can only mean it's time for an ad break. CHRIS BENOIT (with TV-14-DL ratings box) v. DEAN MALENKO in a "Last Man Standing" match - you and I might remember these matches as "Tejas Death" matches - or maybe YOU wouldn't - God, I'd love to be YOUR age again. Again, I must note that we'll cross the top of the hour with Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. Let Us Take You Back To Some More Stills and show you how Dean Malenko turned on Chris Benoit in the TV title match. Malenko rushes the ring and it's on. Punches exchanged, rapid fire. In the corner, back and forth - Benoit kicking in the delicate area. Chop is blocked and Malenko takes him through the ropes to the floor. Following out, whip into the STEEL barricade. Head to the barricade. Malenko takes him back in the ring. Whip into the corner is reversed, Benoit slides under and outside, then grabs the legs and makes a wish with the STEEL ringpost. Back in - stomp on the head. Elbow. 6.3 3.0 Whip into the opposite corner, atomic drop, knife-edge chop, and Malenko hits the deck. Schiavone tells Heenan not to "put yourself over" because he's EDGY now. Benoit stomping away. Knife-edge chop. Again. Kick. Benoit with an open-handed slap, another stomp, into the opposite corner, Benoit puts him on the top turnbuckle as he staggers backwards - belly-to-back TOP-ROPE SUPERPLEX! Referee "Blind" Charles Robinson puts on his first 10 count. Both men up at 7. Benoit with a German suplex - holding on for the second - Malenko holds the top ropes to prevent the third. Benoit tries to make him break the holdwith clubbin' blows. Malenko hits back elbows and his trick knee acts up to turn the tide. Malenko suplexes Benoit over the top rope. There's a baseball slide dropkick and now Malenko has joined him outside. Malenko punching away - now standing on the throat. Benoit whipped into the STEEL steps. Malenko lines up the steps against Benoit's back and then dropkicks the steps. Malenko putting the badmouth on now. He's spitting on him! Back into the ring we go. Malenko making friends with the crowd. Suplex attempt is countered - Malenko with the standing switch - Benoit counters AGAIN and hits a belly-to-back suplex. DOUBLE OKIE BLOW!! Right hand to the back of the head. Knife-edge chop. Off the ropes, Malenko pulls up and kicks. Off the ropes, it's a double clothesline and Robinson puts on another count. Both men trying to get up...Benoit up at 10 - and Malenko up at 10.5. Robinson rings the bell. (7:02) The FILTHY ANIMALS run to the ring after the match (and thank God it wasn't DURING the match) and surround Benoit - who steps aside so they can quadruple team Malenko. The voice of SHANE DOUGLAS stops them. He, PERRY SATURN and ASYA reveal TORRIE WILSON. If they keep putting the boots to Malenko, then there'll be real problems. Douglas does a fair amount of mouth running while Malenko is given a free pass to the back. Douglas says if they want Torrie back, they'll stay where they are. They walk to the back and the Animals decide to take off after them. In case you find this storyline compelling, we hope you'll stay tuned through this next three minutes of ads! Can't believe no one asked for this match yet. Recap by CRZ: OUTSIDERS v. ? - is it just me, or are we hearing a bit more of David Penzer tonight? Nothing wrong with that. Hall and Nash are still wearing the same clothes they came in with. The opponents are - well, the TWIN TOWERS come out - are they the opponents? Apparently not, they bookend a trio of women - including a woman with - ummm - tremendously overripe watermelons. Now Hall WANTS to sart the match. So we got a chick in bikini top and hot pants - and thigh high boots - and probably greased up - waiting to lock up with Hall. Listen to Tony: "The Powers To Be were looking for ratings, and they gonna getum tonight! I know no one's turning away from this thing - the Outsiders gonna wrestle some girls! And they looking for numbers - they got 'em!" Hall goes to lock up - and the women points her tits at him. Hall pulls up short. No WONDER both these guys got divorces. Lockup, side headlock from Hall - into her cleavage. Hall thinks he liked it. Hall tring to make the tag - but not really. Chick's fondling herself. Now waggling her booty. Bob Ryder approves of this. Lockup, to the corner - chick with a Ten Punch Count Along which Hall doesn't mind as his head is in her crotch. Hall with a FLAIR FLOP! Heenan: "We're gonna get bigger numbers than Dow Jones!" Chick spanks Hall - again - and again. Hall asks that the other chick be tagged in. Nash pounds the turnbuckles - Hall strains to make the tag - tag to Nash! Nash in and in slow motion. Nash is mesmerized by the third woman, she of the giant bazooms. She says if Nash and Hall lay down and take the fall, she'll lift her top, or something. Nash and Hall immediately lay down - both women cover - referee "Blind" Billy Silverman puts on the count - 1, 2, 3. (4:00) Nash wants to see 'em already. Here's COLD BEER - there's a spear for Hall - and here's one for Nash. You know, I may be the only person that thinks this, but this segment was PRETTY FUCKING LAME. I'm on the Internet - I can GET porn pretty much any time I want, if I'm so inclined. Even pix of ... MINKA! (I just shocked SOMEBODY, I bet.)

...Mae Young and Moolah was a match on my Birthday that year. AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! Oh, and I like how Trips vs. Snow is so high up the card. Matches recapped by CRZ: TREBLE H v. AL SNOW for the WWF Championship - hmm, strange not to see Chyna with him, isn't it? Lawler says with Moolah, Chyna, and the Hollys holding belts, how weird WOULD it be if Snow took the title tonight? Snow fails to enter through the usual means, popping up from out of nowhere and getting first attack. Punches in bunches, off the ropes with a dropkick. Right, right, right, right, right, rifgh,t right, right, right, right, right, Snow's been watching the film on Triple H I see. There's a stomp - whip out of the corner is reversed, Snow slides to a stop, gets up, H ducks a clothesline and hits his reverse neckbreaker that he tries to do once a match these days. Separate shots show Austin and the Rock watching the match on monitors. Meanwhile, H has taken Snow outside the ring and had his way - pretty much. Back in the ring we go, whip into the corner - Snow ducks a clothesline and hits an enzuigiri. Both men up slowly - punches traded, more for Snow now - Helmsley laces the arms and does his headbutts - count 'em - 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20!! Crowd doesn't know any numbers past ten, of course, and is very confused. H passes out. I smell the patented Sting headbutt to the crotch spot - thank you. Both men up at the same time. Snow ducks a clothesline and hits a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge (or, if you're Michael Cole, "a tremendous manoeuvre) for 2. Backslide from Snow for another 2. There's a small package - 2. Sunset flip - for 2. Snow kicks, right, off the ropes, head down so H comes back with his facebuster. H to the top rope - Snow off the ropes to crotch him. Right. Snow to the second rope - SUPERPLEX! Snow slow to cover - hooks the leg - only 2. Snow signalling for the Snowplow - H slips away, however - gutshot, Pedigree, 1, 2, 3. (4:22) FABULOUS MOOLAH v. MAE YOUNG for the Women's Championship - this can only end in tears. The challenger enters first, anyway. Young drags Moolah into the ring to start. VERRRRY SLOWLY. There's a - well it's a left of some sort, says Cole. Extremely ugly slingshot. Young with CROTCH CHOPS! Unfortunately, that's not an offensive move - rather, it's an OFFENSIVE move, but there's no offense in it. Moolah with both boots up. Right hand. Hairpull takeover. Moolah with the choke. Lawler accuses the match of being in slow motion. Young through the ropes to the outside. The...very low...chase is on. Young on the commentary table - and pushed over! Moolah grabs her hair and pulls her back. Back in the ring we go. Young somehow gains control - it's not important how, I reckon. Young climbs the ropes - verrry slowly. One Punch Count Along. Young *inexplicably* reaches down the shirt of referee "Blind" Jimmy Korderas and gets tangled up with him. Moolah whips Young, who takes Korderas with him. Moolah with - another one, I guess. Moolah with crotch chops of her own. Finally we're rescued by IVORY who attacks Moolah (DQ 2:57) - man, that three minutes felt like fifteen. Young tries to stop Ivory, but goes down with one blow. Ivory poses with the title - now TORI is back in our lives with a spear. Here's JACQUELINE. I'm guessing that - there's LUNA. The standard complement of referees and officials break things up to a hearty chorus of boos. It all ends with Moolah posing in the ring with the title. Yeeha?

This seems like it might have rocked. Recap by CRZ: KING KURT ANGLE (with Stephanie Ono and Heat ad graphic) v. CHRIS BENOIT (with Let Us Take You Back to RAW) v. THE NEW MAN (with Presto presents No Mercy - Sunday!) v. IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLL in a nontitle four corners match - In case you're interested, these four entrances and their associated advertising moments eat up JUST short of five minutes. Amazingly, referee "Blind" Earl Hebner manages to keep Benoit and Angle away from Triple H during his posing routine. I'm surprised we didn't get an ad break between entrances, there's a LOT of time left... Cole says there was a coin toss to determine first two men in the ring and it was Rock and Benoit winning. Rock blocks, right, right, right, into the ropes, reversed, forearm by Benoit. Death suplex. Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, chop, chop, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, Benoit tells Hebner he'll kick him as much as he wants. Right hand. Angle calls out for a tag - Benoit gives him a look and goes back to the kick. Kick. Into the opposite corner is reversed, gutshot and DDT by the Rock. Rock drags Benoit over to Angle and dares Angle to tag him now. Angle decides to express discretion instead. H asks for a tag - so Rock tags him instead. Right for Benoit. Right, right, head to the buckle, kick, kick, kick, kick, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, standing on the neck. Into the ropes, duck, high knee. Right, pretend I typed "right" eight more times just now. Suplex. H off the ropes with a kneedrop. Cover, leg is hooked - 2. Right hand. Benoit manages to dump H's neck on the top rope. Angle climbs onto the bottom rope, reaches WAY over, and tags Benoit in the back - clothesline for H, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Right, right, "Angle sux" chant. H reverses it in the corner, right, right, right, right, right, whip into the opposite corner is reversed, H ducks the clothesline and hits the hangman's neckbreaker. Rock asks for a return of favour, and H obliges, tagging him in. Rock on Angle - right, right, right, right, right, NOW KISS THAT RIGHT! He's in Benoit's corner but Benoit wants nothing to do with *this*. Samoan Drop - 1, 2, shoulder up. Right, right, into the ropes, Angle holds on and reverses into a belly-to-belly suplex. Angle over to slap Triple H - apparently that's a tag. H comes in, reluctantly. See, him and Rock are real good freinds now, or something. Angle with another right to the Rock - who stumbles into a Pedigree attempt - but Angle clotheslines Triple H before he can do it. Rock going for Rock Bottom! - but Angle breaks THAT up as well. Angle finally steps through the ropes and cheers on a healthy exchange between the Rock and Triple H. They look at each other - then both of them bring Angle in the hard way. It's pinball time! Right by the Rock, right by H, spit right by Rock - Benoit in, and both H and Rock throw HIM a right. And now it's spilled outside - H and Benoit and Rock with Angle. Each man takes turns putting his opponent's face into the STEEL steps - can you top this? Well, look at this. Finally, Rock puts Angle in the ring while Benoit and H stay outside. Rock Bottom on Angle! 1, 2...Triple H makes the save! Of course, Rock and H are legal, but Hebner proved Monday he couldn't be bothered to remember silly details like that. H and Benoit in the ring - Pedigree! Leg is hooked - 1, 2, *Rock* breaks it up! And now there's a staredown in the ring - looks like they WILL hook it up. Shove by Triple H - shove by Rock. H with a shove, Rock with a right, and now they're trading rights - and now it's H - and now it's Rock. Into the ropes, Rock's head down, facebuster by Triple H. Clothesline takes Rock out. Benoit with an uppernut on Triple H while his back was turned. Benoit stomping away on Triple H now. Chop, chop, chop, chop, right, right, into an Olympic Slam from Angle! Benoit throws Angle over the top rope in mid-celebration, then climbs the corner for the SWANDIVE HEADBUTT!! Slowly crawling over - 1, 2, Rock pulls Benoit outside and puts him into the ringpost! Rock inside - looks at Triple H laying in the middle of the ring - "hey, I could do a People's Elbow here" - and so he does. Leg is hooked...1, 2, *Stephanie* pulls Rock out! Rock goes out after her...and gets clocked with a blind clothesline by Benoit on the outside. Meanwhle, Angle sneaks in and hooks the leg. Stephanie on the apron...but she's not gonna save him THIS time. 1, 2, 3. (9:04) Post-match, Benoit is in to put the Crippler crossface on Triple H - H quickly taps out but, surprisingly, that doesn't help. I think Stephanie was set to ask Angle to help out her husband, but Rock is over to chase HER before she can make the request! Angle behind the Rock, spinning him around, Rock right, right, into the ring, Angle tries a kick, but Rock catches it - dragon screw legwhip into the Sharpshooter! Angle does some tapping as well. With Angle AND Triple H both tapping the mat, Stephanie comes in...but who does she save? She just shrugs instead. The REFS & OFFICIALS are out - Benoit lets go of the Crossface, then clocks Rock and puts HIM in the crossface! Stephanie checks on her husband. The refs *finally* get the hold broken. Benoit chases the refs out of the ring. Play his music! Benoit backs up the ramp, all smiles - he's the last man standing tonight. Credits are up and we're out.

Tommy Dreamer winning on RAW??? Man, we'll never see that again. Recap by CRZ: AL SNOW (Tough Enough III - Lima, Ohio - 246 pounds - with Let Us Take You Back to Earlier TOnight) v. TOMMY DREAMER (Yonkers, New York - 252 pounds) in a Singapore cane match referee: JACK DOAN Those are KENDO STICKS, by the way. Say, when do they teach the kendo technique during Tough Enough, anyway? I guess never - when CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI comes out, he ends up braining Snow with a stick when Dreamer ducks - and Dreamer covers for the pin. (2:22) Replay. Dreamer seems sorry - what, sorry HE didn't get to be the one to knock Snow the fuck out? Oh yeah - they had the onsale crawl during this match. I know you were wondering.

...why have two Raws to happen on my birthday both had weird stuff on them? And for those that don't know about the weird thing on the 2002 edition...two words: Katie Vick. For 1996, it was the HHH/Mero thing. HHH/Mero is recapped by Kevin James Posiadlik and the Katie Vick crap is recapped by CRZ: Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Mark Mero (w/Sable and Mr. Perfect) Sable handles the ringside duties, while Perfect settles down at the announcer's desk. As we return, Hunter has Mero trapped in a corner. Mero reverses a cross-corner whip into a back body drop to regain the edge. Perfect: "Hunter Hearst Helmsley pulled one off on Mr. Perfect tonight, but believe me, Mr. Perfect always gets the last laugh." Mero finally dropkicks Hunter out of the ring, as Vince McMahon mentions an injury to Faarooq, which has been blamed on Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed has therefore been suspended. Excuse me? What exactly does a suspension mean to a guy who's three months away from doctor's clearance to wrestle? Or will he simply be suspended for the first five matches of next year (whatever that's supposed to mean)? Meanwhile, Mero is about to go for his usual plancha dive, when Hunter comes up with an inventive defense to it, namely, using Sable as a shield. This stops Mero, but Sable is none too pleased at being in the grasp of her former escortee. So she lets him know that, hard to the cheek. Mero climbs out of the ring and puts in his two cents on the matter. After loading Hunter in the ring, Mero slingshots over Hunter into a sunset flip, leading to the sequence: counter cover by Hunter, bridge out into a backslide by Mero. Hunter finally regains the edge, though, with a nicely executed gut wrench suplex. Hunter dominates the next several minutes, if a bit methodically. Mero interrupts the run with a slingshot of Hunter into a turnbuckle, but Hunter kicks out and resumes his domination... -- ad break -- Mero, back in control now, slingshots himself inside the ring and hits a leg drop. Cover, but Hunter isn't done yet. Mero hits the Write-Off/Papoose-To-Go/End-Of-The-Trail (and McMahon called it something altogether different, but I could quite make it out), and signals for the Wild Thing. The most devastating maneuver in the WWF today... is when Hunter nudges a nonattentive referee into the ropes, knocking Mero loose from his perch, and, as usually happens, Mero is crotched. Hunter takes the opportunity to join Mero up there, but after some discussion of the matter, Mero pushes Hunter off and again tries for the Wild Thing. This time Hunter has no counter. Wham, bam, 1, 2... kickout! A double reverse of a subsequent cross-corner whip catches the referee in the crossfire, and now we have three men down. Perfect: "I'm not going to interfere in anything." Hunter, the first to recover, slides out of the ring and grabs a seat, I mean a chair, causing Perfect to recant that previous remark. Helmsley lines up his attack, but on the backswing feels a little tug on the chair. It's Sable, for once doing exactly the sort of thing a manager ought to be doing. The tug-of-war between Hunter and Sable is settled once and for all, though, when Perfect yanks the chair loose from both of them, and immediately gets a bead on Helmsley. Mero, being the stand-up kind of guy that he is, stands up at this point, perhaps to tell Perfect not to bother risking a DQ, he can handle it from here. But Perfect is fixed on Hunter. "You know what I'm going to do with this chair? Do you know what I am going to do with this chair???? I'm gonna do this," and WHAM! down goes... Mero. Sable, totally shocked by this turn of events, still has the presence of mind to run around to the referee to tell him what has happened. But of course the referee has heard that story a million times, so simply ignores it, clears his head while Helmsley hits Mero with a gratuitous Pedigree, and counts the ensuing pinfall to make Hunter Hearst Helmsley the new Intercontinental champion. And while Perfect and Hunter celebrate the fruits of their elaborate hoax (and that little red herring of a Perfect/Austin confrontation gets summarily tossed in the trash), we take our leave of Raw for the evening. Over to JONATHAN COACHMAN, who stands at the interview set with Triple H. Why's he doing this? "Why am I doing this? 'cause I wanna show the world what kind of a man Kane is. You know, I called him a murderer, but he's a whole lot worse than that; he's some kinda twisted psychopath, some kinda sick freak. Believe me, only a man like Kane could do the type of thing I'm about to show you on this videotape. Now I gotta warn you: this is NOT for the squeamish. Roll the footage." Graphic: "WARNING The following scene contains material that may offend some viewers. DISCRETION IS ADVISED" Graphic on tape: "10/09/92 2:30am" Looks like a funeral home, complete with open casket. Why there'd be a cameraman here is anybody's...ohhh, never mind. I got it. "Hello. It's me, Kane. Is anyone here?" Well, it's not Kane entering the room - it's Triple H dressed up in a Kane mask and "BIG FREAK'N MACHINE" T-shirt. He approaches the coffin. "Hello, Katie. God...you look so good. Katie, you might look better - dead - than you did alive. You know, Katie...it didn't have to be like this. You didn't have to die. If you'd'a just given me what I wanted - if you'd'a just let me touch you...Katie, in that car. If you'd'a just...touch your beautiful breasts, then I wouldn't have swerved and gone off the road. And you would still be alive. Yes you would. Y- Yes you would - don't - no. N-- you would, too, you would still be alive and it's your fault. That's right. That's right, it is your fault, and you know it. 'cause I loved you, Katie - and you - you didn't love me when you were alive, because I was...some burnt up freak. What's that? Really? Now that you're...you're dead, you want me? I want you too, Katie. I've always wanted you, Katie. Look at you. I want you more than ever now - in your cheerleader uniform. I used to watch you bounce up and down. Your panties...would show. You know....if you want me, and I want you then there's no reason that...we shouldn't...be together." Picture gets pixellated where he feels her up. "Ohhhhh yeah. You like that, huh. Shhhhhhh. Don't be too loud. Your parents are next door, Katie. The other hand too? Ohhhh yeah. That's good. You know, Katie...you feel kinda stiff. Speaking of...stiff...maybe....maybe I should do what I've always wanted to do. You want me to?" He removes his shirt. "Yeah, Katie, I thought you would - I thought you'd never ask, but...I understand now you - you can't resist me. Maybe you should take off some clothes, too, Katie - I mean - maybe... maybe I should... (removes bra) This'll help. I bet it feels good to have them free, doesn't-- ohhh yes it certainly does. You know, Katie...these panties that I always saw under your skirt...you won't need these... (he smells 'em - eww) - ohhhh, I love the smell of formaldehyde in the morning. Katie...I'm gonna give you what you want. And I'm gonna take what I always wanted." Fortunately, we're from the chest up as he drops trou...then climbs in the coffin, lifts a leg... "What's that? Oh, I'm going to. Yeah. I'm gonna give you what you always wanted, Kaite - tell me how bad you want it - tell me - yessssss." We move to shots of flowers and candles and background music covering up the sounds of... oh who knows. "Oh - oh - oh, Katie - oh - who's your daddy, Katie, huh? That's it. Who's your daddy? Oh." Back to the picture as "Kane" sighs. "I hope that was as good for you as it was for me. What's that? I did? You're kidding me. I really did? I did? Oh my God...I did. I really did it! I really did... (displays - ugh) I screwed your brains out!" And he throws them on the camera lens. Back to H, who has to put his head on Coach's shoulder, he's laughing so hard. "Ohhhh what a sick freak!" Now back to Terri, who thinks Kane won't really want to talk to anybody after that. She'll try, though. She opens the door a little bit...but it slams in her face. MAN, THIS SURE MAKES ME WANT TO PAY $34.95 FOR THE NO MERCY ENCORE! Well at least no lesbians were harmed, so TNN will be happy

I remember all of these matches being good Unfortunently can't find a recap to the Kid/Jannetty match. The two '97 matches listed are recapped by G.P. Ryan and already posted Angle/Rhyno. Intercontinental champ Owen Hart vs. Euro champ Shawn Michaels Owen says if HBK is any kind of man, they can make it one-on-one. Rude, Helmsley and Chyna come out to the entranceway. Rude has a mic and does the classic Rude spiel. HBK shakes hands with D-X, who don't accompany him to the ring. HBK gets him to the corner, his punch is blocked and Owen slugs him a couple times, side headlock...after an HBK leapfrog, Owen decks him, gives him a spinning kick and knocks him over the top. Owen goes for a slidekick but misses and HBK drops him on the rail and throws him into the steps. The Harts are shown watching in the back as HBK hits a piledriver before the --break-- (at 1:21, lasted 3:11) In the ring, Owen continues to pummel HBK and corner whips him, HBK does a half-Flair Flip, as he stays in the ring. Owen whips him into a BEAUTIFUL belly-to-belly for 2. Owen beats on him some more and goes to a sleeperhold. HBK goes to one knee before giving him a belly-to-back suplex. HBK corner whips and dropkicks him for 2 before going to a reverse chinlock. Owen finally powers out and beats on him, HBK reverses a corner whip, but Owen catches him and slingshots him into the corner and covers for 2 1/2. Owen corner whips but charges into the post. HBK slams him and goes up top for an elbowdrop. HBK misses the superkick and Owen hits the enzuigiri. Steve Austin enters the ring and gives the ref a Stunner, after which HBK hits the superkick. Bret enters the ring and pummels HBK for a bit. D-X and the Harts come to the ring. I'm assuming a time, since a bell was never rung to end the match. WINNER: no-contest at about 9:35 **1/4 -- **1/2 Tajiri Yoshihiro vs. TAKA Michinoku Sunny does the ring announcing. TAKA misses a pair of dropkicks, Tajiri hits a bouncing back elbow and a springboard moonsault bodyblock to the floor. TAKA goes up top and hits a good spin kick. TAKA sends him out of the ring and does a springboard plancha bodyblock (it looked a bit off, though). In the ring, he dropkicks a sitting Tajiri, then misses a moonsault. Tajiri hits a Ligerbomb for 2. TAKA reverses a whip and Tajiri hits a hurricanrana for 2. Tajiri's corner whip is reversed, and TAKA charges in with a kick and immediately goes up top for a dropkick. Tajiri goes behind on a Michinoku Driver II attempt and hits a snap German suplex for 2. Tajiri jumps at TAKA, who powerbombs him for 2 and hits the MDII for the pin. Nonstop action. WINNER: TAKA Michinoku, at 2:55 ***1/2
