Bored

Which is why you never pay attention to the Coaches Poll. God I wish ESPN would drop it partnership with it so it wouldn't get shoved down everyone's throat. So much better when CNN sponsored it and absolutely no one paid attention to it.

I dunno...its a pre-ppv show so that always means lots of interviews. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): There is apparantly a loooooooooooong Steph sitdown interview with Cole and the crowd "shockingly" hated it.

THAT's a main event? I'm just going to assume those are a parody of a line up. Since when did every show end with a match? Don't worry no shit was spewed this week.

Velocity: A.P.A. vs. Nunzio & Chuck Palumbo (listed as a dark match in one report...not that anyone is dying to see it) Orlando Jordan vs. A-Train Ultimo Dragon vs. Joey Mathews Funaki vs. Matt Hardy Smackdown: Chris Benoit vs. Doug Basham Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri Eddy Guerrero vs. Rhyno Rey Mysterio vs. Johnny Stamboli

And in that pool will be Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie as everyone knows America loves scat.

Here is YOUR college football national television schedule for this week. As always ABC regional games are marked with an asterisk and all times are Pacific. Thursday Clemson at N.C. State, 4:45 PM, ESPN Air Force at Colorado State, 7:00 PM, ESPN2 Friday Tulane at Louisville, 5:00 PM, ESPN Saturday #13 Purdue at #14 Wisconsin, 9:00 AM, ESPN #15 Michigan State at #25 Minnesota, 9:00 AM, ESPN2 Texas A&M at #18 Nebraska, 9:30 AM, FSN #5 USC at Notre Dame, 11:30 AM, NBC Florida at #11 Arkansas, 12:30 PM, CBS #9 Iowa at #8 Ohio State, 12:30 PM, ABC* Texas Tech at #23 Oklahoma State, 12:30 PM, ABC* California at UCLA, 12:30 PM, ABC* #24 Missouri at #1 Oklahoma, 4:00 PM, FSN #7 Florida State at Virginia, 4:45 PM, ESPN #10 LSU at South Carolina, 4:45 PM, ESPN2 Washington at #22 Oregon State, 7:00 PM, TBS

I think Bowling Green has been ranked 26th or 27th for about a month now in the AP poll. On Northern Illinois, ya I think they will lose at Bowling Green as I think they are probably the best team in the MAC and not NIU. But I'll still be rooting for NIU to be the only undefeated at the end. Should note that the Northern Illinois/Bowling Green game the week after next has been picked up by ESPN.

Could have just posted this in the college football thread.

Here is the updated now Almost Official BCS Top 25 and Bottom 10 from collegebcs.com. This week these rankings are about as close to being official as you can get right now. Only one of the seven computer ratings in the BCS formula is not available this week. Official rankings come out next week but I'll still post a full Top 25 after this week since the normally when the official rankings come out they only make the Top 15 available. As you see that there will be some controversy as Georgia will come out ahead of undefeated Virginia Tech in the official rankings next week barring an upset this week. If Va Tech and Georgia both win out it could be VERY interesting. Note I've seperated the Top 12 from the rest of the teams as if your in the Top 12 that means your a eligible for an at-large birth. If your in the Top 6 your gaurenteed a spot in a BCS bowl regardless if you win your conference or not. Northern Illinois as you see is in Top 12 and if they win out they will likely be eligible for a BCS bowl but cracking the Top 6 seems unlikely which will probably be the only way they can get a BCS bowl 1. Oklahoma 3.06 2. Miami 3.66 3. Georgia 11.24 4. Virginia Tech 13.37 5. Florida State 14.65 6. USC 16.07 7. Iowa 17.10 8. Ohio State 17.44 9. Arkansas 23.86 10. Washington State 26.47 11. Northern Illinois 26.85 12. Wisconsin 29.27 13. Michigan State 34.37 14. TCU 34.87 15. Purdue 36.04 16. LSU 38.95 17. Michigan 39.30 18. Nebraska 40.02 19. Tennessee 45.24 20. Auburn 46.89 21.

Well back in the day when Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman were doing the Sunday Night SportsCenter they would do the Plays of the Week and they'd do little commentary over the highlights and it was funny as hell. SportsCenter now IMO is completely unwatchable. Its funny how ESPN has seemingly gone downhill, along with the original programming, after Fox Sports gave up trying to compete with them by dumping all of its highlight programs. Gee sounds like another organization when its competition died off.

Amen...I think it started with that awful Bob Knight movie they did and the network has just gone downhill since. Now they are going to hit a new low by starting a morning talk show. From what I've read they won't always focus on sports and will try to draw in marginal and non-sports fans. Okay what marginal and non-sports fans are watching ESPN at 7 a.m.? Yes I'm sure all those house wives are gonna turn off Katie Couric to watch ESPN.

No Raw went to two hours in late-May of that year.

Here's an article on Boston College moving to the ACC: http://msn.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/2003/1012...12/1636678.html You realize that the insanity isn't even close to being over.

Flair's was a regular battle royal just with a ton of run ins so maybe that's why it felt like a Royal Rumble rip-off. CRZ recap of the actually Royal Rumble rip-off: COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON - "ABOVE AVERAGE" MIKE SANDERS (with the iWatch logo) is first? Gosh, that's a tough draw for the man in charge. Even *more* coincidentally, CAT gets #2. Sanders punching away, into the ropes, duck, Feliner. Cat breakdances and drops an elbow. Right hand, in the corner but the Ten Punch Count Along is rudely interrupted by David Penzer counting down from five - I guess it's a thirty second interval? It's PERFECTSHAWN STASIAK, who goes right for the Cat - and ends up on the wrong end of an onslaught. Hey, you might learn from this graphic that Halloween Havoc is 11 days away. It's another thirty seconds and "THE EVENT" CHUCK PALUMBO is #4. Stasiak and Palumbo are ready to fight over who gets to beat up the Cat. These thirty second intervals seem like ten seconds since they're including the ring entrance. DISQO is in and going for Palumbo and Stasiak. He's one and they're two, so he ends up on the wrong side. Shockingly and coincidentally, ALEX WRIGHT is next. Commentators question the randomness of this draw. Nobody eliminated yet. Why is Cat attacking Disqo? Who can say? CROWBAR comes out to the Badlanders theme instead of the 70's theme. Battle royals are sure easy to describe, aren't they? By the time you type in that BIG RON HARRIS is out, it's almost time to get ready to type that HEAVY D HARRIS is out. Did you predict that, too? Nine men in, zero men out. #10 is HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN. That should give us Storm and Skipper in the next minute or so, right? Duggan gives the crowd a thumbs up despite being a heel. LT. LOCO is out and it's been just over five minutes with nothing happening. Will it be Canada or MIA? Well, holy cats, it's none of them - KEVIN NASH is out and...we take an ad break?? Yikes! TBS - it's a guy thing. Hey, I saw Juventud Guerrera in that ad! Apparently, it took Kevin Nash three minutes and twenty seconds to get in the ring, because when we come back, he's just entering...and going for a pile. Duggan and Loco are upended over the top rope for our first eliminations. Times will be approximate, not counting the ads, so when I say (6:02), I'm probably PRETTY close. Cat tosses Sanders almost immediately after (6:08), followed by Nash tossing Cat. (6:10) #12 is DAVID FLAIR (and the iWatch logo) as the Knights toss Crowbar (6:16). Nash double clotheslines the Knights out (6:21). Flair does some dancing as Palumbo saves Stasiak tossing Big Ron (6:26) and Heavy D (6:29). Palumbo and Stasiak get to shoving as "Coach" looks on...and ignores it. Stasiak forearms Palumbo, who goes flying (6:50). Nash gives Stasiak a look...and he eliminates himself. (6:56) As CPL. CAJUN walks out, Flair tries to chop Nash - and Nash calmly tosses him. (7:05) Cajun tries a back elbow - Cajun eats a big boot. Toss. (7:22) KWEE-WEE (with Paisley) is next. Does this remind you of Royal Rumble '94? (7:48) RAYMOND STEREO is in for Nash to get some revenge - springboard dropkick by Mysterio - eat the big boot. Going for the truckstop powerbomb, but Rey holds on and punches out of it. BOOKA T. is next as Mysterio goes for a broncobuster...but gets crotched when Nash puts up his foot - or he was *supposed* to, except he flew over the foot. Oh well. T goes to Nash and punches away...until Nash throws the uppernut. Hey, I wonder who booked this match? Is it the guy punching out both Mysterio AND Booker T? THAT 70'S MULLET is out next. Nash put in the corner - Awesome...eats a back elbow. Mysterio...eats a back elbow. T gets...a gutshot and elbow. Nash *barely* has the time to brush back his hair between moves! (THIS IS) STING is next out - can Nash beat FOUR men? Awesome and T hold Nash for a Stinger splash. And again. Holding him for another Mysterio springboard dropkick. They *finally* get Nash outta there (10:20) just as JEDOUBLEF JADOUBLEREDOUBLET hits the ring. But WHITE THUNDER sneaks in at the same time. Sting and Jarrett go at it - Jarrett and T going at it - Awesome and Mysterio content to watch for now. Sting and Jarrett get tied up and eliminate each other (10:41) and then Steiner and T eliminate each other (10:46) with a little help from Awesome and Mysterio. They turn on each other until BILLY KIDMAN joins in on Mysterio's side. Mysterio with a split-legged moonsault on Awesome. Forearm by Kidman. LANCE STORM is out....#22 if my count is correct. Kidman and Mysterio trying to put Awesome out...but Kidman drops him to attack Storm. Storm with knees in the corner. Awesome still working on Mysterio...tossing him, but Rey holds on and comes back in. BIG VITO hits the ring - Kidman and Awesome quickly jump on him - Storm back on Kidman. Vito elbows Awesome. Kidman dropkicks Storm. Bring out SEAN O'HAIRE. Storm goes out but lands on the apron. Sign in crowd: "I MADE A SIGN" I wonder if Jindrak will be next. MARK JINDRAK is next. Kidman and Mysterio get furious on him as he enters. KONNAN comes in and helps Kidman stomp on O'Haire...until Jindrak gets *him* from behind. KRONI>| are still one person, I guess, as they come out together. Kidman unveils a new "You can't powerbomb Kidman" counter as he hits a huracanrana on Adams. Adams says "hey, nobody told me I had to SELL in this match" and tosses Kidman with a chokeslam, although the camera misses it. (14:42) Mysterio gets crotched trying to splash Clark in the corner - Clark then whips Konnan into Mysterio, eliminating him (14:53). Konnan completes the Filthy Animals trifecta when Clark clotheslines HIM (14:58). Awesome backdrops Storm (15:04). Six men left in the ring...Kronik eliminate Vito (15:18). Jindrak & O'Haire work on Awesome while Kronik watches. Now Kronik beat him up as well. Let's see, four on one...I bet the one wins. Standard battle royal rules. Adams with a piledriver on Awesome. Four-way stompdown. Crowd anticipates Goldberg, and so do I, frankly. They start to put him over the top rope...but here's COLD BEER. Double clothesline for Jindrak & O'Haire - Kronik with a double shoulderblock. Awesome tries to take it to O'Haire, but he fights back - but Awesome ducks Jindrak's clothesline and not only does he take out O'Haire, but the momentum takes *himself* over as well! (16:36) Goldberg into the ropes, spear for Clark. Mount and punch. Adams brings in the chair. Goldberg puts Clark outside (16:54) Awesome grabs the chair and saves Goldberg, allowing him to spear Adams. Awesome wields the chair, just in case Goldberg has any plans for *him*. Big-time staredown. Goldberg nods...and together, he and Awesome clothesline Adams out of the ring. Technically, Goldberg isn't in this match...so we have a winner. Awesome gets the first title shot after Havoc. And that's that. (17:33)

You know on the WOL tonight Meltzer said something in passing about that Shane will have his leg broken. I don't know if he was saying it in jest or if that's how they are going to blow off the feud is Kane "breaking" Shane's leg. I lost the connection to the show tonight about 25 minutes in and never could get it back so don't know if he said anything else about it. Of course that'd be good news just to get Shane off t.v. but have a feeling it will come AFTER Shane gets his win back at Survivor Series.

God I LOVED that season! Just classic back stabbing shit. Oh and the one before was the two Road Rules cast members (don't remember their names) who were married and very religious but wanted to go out of their way to screw everyone else over. The Real World/Road Rules Challenges are so much better than the shows they come from now. Too bad Beth from Real World L.A. isn't on this one because it was always funny how'd she get everyone to hate her from day one and they'd vote her off first.

Damn the 49ers are totally snake bitten this year. Okay got crushed by the Vikings but their other three losses have been by a total of six points. *sigh* If they were actually a good team though they'd won at least two of the three but they aren't.

So if Atlanta wins tommorrow to give Marvin the win I'll have the worst record by myself in the league despite out scoring my opponents. I've lost two by tiebreak and two by one point. What'd I do to deserve this?

Yup...I remember those Australia shows being fun to watch only because it'd been so long to actually see a packed house, totally into every match, at a WCW show. CRZ recap: KEVIN NASH (with approximately 71% of the Thryllyrz) v. (THIS IS) STING in a lumberjack match - Nash gives Cat a look - one for Kwee-wee - and now he's in the ring. Sting says hi to Vito. I actually didn't see Steiner and Jarrett...maybe later? Ray says he was lobbying for a "three yak" limit on this show, but they're around the ring as well. Here we go. Knee by Nash. Knee. Right hand, brush hair back, knee in the corner, knee, knee, knee, knee, brush hair back. Big elbow. Brush hair back. Big elbow. Brush hair back. OH YEAH! HE'S FRAMING THE ELBOW! I think he did something with his crotch as well. Standing on the neck. Scoop...Sting breaks free, right, chop, right, chop, right, dropkick, 13 days away graphic, over the rop to the MIA, who stomp on Nash. Nash back in. Sting kicks the back of the leg, kick, kick, off the ropes, clip, elbowdrop on the knee. "Wooooow!" Pointing to the Thrillers - and another elbowdrop on the knee. Scorpion Deathlock? Can he turn it? Yes! The Thrillers pull him to the ropes. Sting breaks the hold. The Thrillers pull Nash out. Disqo tells them to get him back in there, but they ignore him. Nash back over the top rope - Sting crotches him with it. Stinger splash...is met with a big boot. I think Nash may have brushed back his hair here...I wasn't paying attention. Into the ropes, sidewalk slam. 1, 2, kickout! Nash brushes his hair back. MIA leading cheers on the outsie. Nash with the scoop...mute, mute, snake eyes. Off the ropes, Boss Man straddle. Nash whips back his hair and applies the neck vice. Crowd gets into clapping again. Ahh, *here* is WHITE THUNDER (and Midajah) - he goes right for Booker T, who fights back - now all the lumberjacks are fighting. Everybody kinda brawls up the aisle and out of the picture. Here's KRONI>|. Sting fights back when we look back to the ring, punch, chop, repeat. Off the ropes with the clothesline. Another clothesline. Into the opposite corner, Stinger splash! Dropkick to the back - and Nash pushes referee "Blind" Charles Robinson into the corner. Sting splashes the pile - ah hell, ANOTHER one? Sting checks on Robinson as JEDOUBLEF JADOUBLEREDOUBLET shows up with a gee-tar. Trying to hide behind Nash..and meeting the Stinger splash attempt with El Kabong. Nash drapes an arm on top...Robinson SLOWLY over......1.....2...... ........ ........... .....what's the holdup? ............ 3. (7:05) Nash and Jarrett strike a pose as the ring fills with garbage. Bring up the credits and take us home, 'cause I'm just about done with this crap.

Recap by CRZ: (bill "149-0" [i guess he really DIDN'T lose by countout to Jericho last Thursday on THUNDER!, hmm?] ) GOLDBERG v. NO SMOKIN' GIANT in a "no DQ" match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship - Dillenger didn't have enough time to get back to the dressing room, so we see some other guy walking Goldberg to the entryway. This (probable) 150th victory is hyped as a big milestone for Goldberg - man, it'd be sweet if he lost, wouldn't it? Lockup, nothing. Lockup, to the corner, big blow from the Giant, Goldberg roars. Giant with a dropkick!! To the corner, repeated knees from Giant. Whip, follow lariat. Side Russian legsweep by Giant. Headbutt. Head to the turnbuckle. Repeat. Goldberg blocks, and blocks again. Goldberg takes Giant's head to the turnbuckle. Twice. Spinning kick. He bodyslams the Giant (!) Wow! And here's STEVIE RAY with a chair - good thing it's no DQ! Chairshot is no-sold but when he turns around, Giant chokeslams him! 1, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE with an elbowdrop to break it up. Stevie Ray gets a diamond cutter. Giant is ready to chokeslam Page, but Goldberg spears him. Everybody scatters. Aww, give me a break. Giant is going to be counted out (entrance 2:45, match 2:47) and we'll take an ad break as Goldberg tells Page he's next, or something.

Nice little match. Palumbo was in the tree of woe, and Brock came charging at him, but Chuck got a leg loose, which Brock ran into. Paul Heyman yells out: "is that legal?!" Awesome. Angle/Benoit vs. Los Guerreros wasn't too shabby, either. Recaps by CRZ: KING BROCK LESNAR (WWE Champion - Minneapolis, Minnesota - 295 pounds - with Paul Heyman - AND Subway presents No Mercy in just three days!) v. CHUCK PALUMBO (San Diego, California - 276 pounds) in a nontitle match referee: PROUD CANADIAN JIMMY KORDERAS We're told that Billy was injured at the London, Ontario show on Monday and is in Alabama seeing specialists. That don't sound too good for him...but it's not like they had any PLANS for him anyway, right? I mean, that gay wedding was FIVE WHOLE WEEKS AGO, I doubt *anybody* remembers it NOW. Chuck hits the ring, duck, right, right, right, right, Lesnar barrels him into the corner, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, elbow, whip is reversed, right hand as Lesnar comes out, running kick, Lesnar blocks the next one, back leg sweep/lariat combo. Stomp. Back up, into the corner hard and Palumbo goes down. Lesnar outside, grabs an arm and a leg and pulls his ribs into the post. Adds a kick before coming back in. Kicks the ribs, forearm, stomp, stomp, stomp. Stands on the neck for 4. Forearm in the back, Chuck tries to fire back, right, Lesnar with a knee. Lesnar dares Palumbo pull himself up - then puts him down with another clothesline. Palumbo pulls himself up - and eats ANOTHER big clothesline from the champ. Palumbo tries a right, right, right, right - Lesnar with a knee. Palumbo's lip is split. Second rope choke with a knee in the back for 4. Lesnar with a right hand. Vertical suplex. Cover, 1, 2, Palumbo kicks out. 1, 2, kickout. 1, 2, kickout. Knee in the back by Lesnar. Palumbo tries to come back, forearmed down, Palumbo tries again, another forearm, stomp, stomp. Lesnar helps him up, hard into the corner, and a big belly-to-belly overhead release suplex on the way back. Lesnar waits for him to get up...goes behind - big bearhug (Tazz: "Brocklock") and Palumbo goes down. "That's what you did to Hogan! SQUEEZUM!" Shoulders down - 1, no. Palumbo on his stomach but fading fast. Arm falls once, arm falls twice...Palumbo grabs the bottom rope and Korderas forces the break. Forearm in the back by Lesnar. Palumbo tries the elbow, elbow, elbow and actually reels Lesnar enough to make it back to his feet - only to be caught coming off the ropes...and Lesnar puts him in the Tree of Woe after ramming his back into the corner. Kick, kick, kick. Lesnar gets a head of steam and rams the shoulder. Palumbo STILL hung up...but frees himself just in time, conneting with a mule kick as Lesnar comes in. Palumbo getting a second wind - sidesteps Lesnar and puts his shoulder into the post, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, right, right, right, belly-to-belly overhead throw (!), discus punch is ducked, but he hits the JUNGLE KICK! And then he hits it AGAIN!! Cover - 1, 2, ohhhh Lesnar grabs the bottom rope! Palumbo stays on him - stomp, stomp, right, wants the throw but Lesnar reverses and HE hits the belly-to-belly throw. Palumbo puts up a boot but Lesnar catches it...and connects on the quick clothesline. Scooped up - backbreaker down - STILL holding him - simply flipping him over onto his shoulders - Key on My Keyboard - 1, 2, 3. Total SNME match and that's a good thing. (6:30) THE AWESOME UNDERTAKER is out - big boot puts the champ down - stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, chasing off Korderas, CAST SOUPBONE! That hurts him, but probably not as much as it hurts Lesnar. Sparks is out - down he goes - down goes Korderas - down goes a security guy - one more for Lesnar. Stomp, stomp, chasing off the next wave of refs and security...Lesnar manages to roll out and Heyman helps him up the ramp. Taker raises his arm...but not all the way up 'cause it hurts, man. Ohhhh Lesnar's been busted wide open. Let's take a break! WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS: KURT ANGLE (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - 237 pounds) and CHRIS BENOIT (Edmonton, Alberta - 229 pounds - with SmackDown! in Memphis hype) v. EDDIE & CHAVO GUERRERO (El Paso, Tejas - 441 pounds) referee: MIKE CHIODA You know, given all the times that "CRIPPLER" shows up in his entrance video, you'd think someone would actually CALL him that now and again. Before the Guerreros his the ring, EDGE & REY MYSTERIO come out to extract a little revenge for earlier in the night. Benoit and Angle are content to watch at first, but after the Guerreros go down, they leave the ring to take it to Edge & Mysterio. All four men in the ring - Edge turns the tide, giving Angle the SPEAR, then Benoit gets a whip reversed, into a drop toehold by Edge...putting him in perfect position for the 619 from Mysterio. Edge and Mysterio leaving two men down in the ring, and two men down on the floor. This match MAY get started right after this short break! Stacker 2 ad #2 - isn't trying to sell ephedra-free Stacker 2 a bit like trying to sell caffeine-free Jolt Cola? Geez, I have a feeling that before I die, I'll see yet another ad for "The Ring" When we come back, the bell has apparently already rung - Eddie is stomping away on Angle in the corner and giving him a few words as well. Elbow, elbow, elbow, punches the back of the neck, right, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Chioda actually has to POINT TO HIS PATCH to get a little recognition of the rules! Eddie back on him - Angle reverses the whip, though, and lands the back elbow - Chavo in and he gets a hiptoss and goes out. Right to Eddie, right, right, right, right, kick, kick, right, right, right. Whip into the opposite corner, bowls him over with a lariat, cover, 2. Free shot takes Chavo to the floor. Back to Eddie - snaps off the suplex - 1, 2, no. Grabs Eddie by the hair and makes the tag ot Benoit - open kick, elbow, elbow, chop, headbutt, kick, into the ropes, back elbow, cover, 2. Backbreaker. 1, 2, no. "Benoit (clapclap)" chant. Tag to Angle, kick by Angle, by Benoit, by Angle. Angle right, into the ropes is reversed, Eddie connects with a back elbow and quickly makes the tag. Chavo in just as quick and stays on Angle with a boot to the head, a stomp, a stomp, a stomp, arm wringer into a short-arm clothesline, 1, 2, Angle kicks out. European uppercut. Gutshot - forearm to the back of the head. Into the ropes is reversed...and Angle catches him with a belly-to-belly over head suplex! Angle mouths off to Eddie, then applies the side headlock to Chavo and backs into his corner for the tag - Benoit in, free kick to the abdomen, into the ropes, buries the knee. Death suplex on Chavo gets Benoit 2. Benoit brings him up...and puts him down with a short clothesline. 1, 2, no. Chavo ducks the next short clothesline and HE connects with a death suplex. Chavo grabs a headlock and tags Eddie. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Elbow, Euro uppercut, has some indecision about the next move and Benoit clamps on the crossface (!) but Chavo wastes no time breaking *that* up. Roll and tag to Chavo after he heads back to the corner - kick, kick, Benoit kick, chop, chop, kick by Chavo, Euro uppercut, chop, chop, pulls Benoit out of the corner, snapmares him over and applies the headlock once again. Crowd chants "we want Angle!" Benoit struggles back to his feet - elbow, elbow breaks it up, chop, chop, off the ropes but Eddie puts a knee in the back...and Benoit walks into a dropkick from Chavo. Cover - 2! Tag to Eddie - trademark slingshot senton in. Eddie's ashufflin'. Kick to the head. Kick to the ribs. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. BIG "Angle" chant.

Benoit to his feet - shoves Chavo to the corner, elbow, into the oppostie corner, but Chavo gets the elbow up and connects with the face.

Whip reversal is reversed back, and Chavo lands a dropkick - all four men in the ring now, Benoit puts Chavo in the corner, and gives HIM a German suplex on his way backing out - wants two but Eddie is up from behind - Benoit reverses on Eddie and gives HIM a German suplex. Benoit outside - Benoit up - Benoit DOWN with the SWANDIVE HEADBUTT!! Angle over to hook the leg - 1, 2, Chavo saves it AGAIN! Chavo with the brainbuster on Angle (!), then clothesline Benoit AND himself out of the ring...meanwhile, Eddie is over to hook the leg - 1, 2, NO!!!!! Eddie thinks it's time to go for it all - climbing to the top...but Angle pops up BUT Eddie shoves him off - FROG SPLASH! 1, 2, Benoit breaks it up! CROSSFACE!! One man yet to be heard from, and sure enough Chavo comes in and breaks up the hold with an axehandle to the back of Benoit's neck. Suplex coming up - no, Benoit goes behind - and it's *Benoit* tossing Chavo over the top to the floor!!

WHACK in the back for Eddie. OLYMPIC SLAM!! Benoit rousts Chioda as Angle hooks the leg - 1, 2, 3!!! (10:45) It's Edge & Mysterio against Benoit & Angle this Sunday and either way, two fine singles competitors are gonna be stuck in tag team competition for a while - I mean, that match will RULE! Replays yep. Brackets yep. Cole has NEVER looked forward to seeing a pay-per-view matchup like he's looking forward to seeing this one...man, he shouldn't let stuff like that slip out.

Ummm nope...I actually don't own a single wrestling tape. Blasphemes I know.
