Booker T interview

Booker comes out and gets on the mike. He cuts an emotional promo about his time in WCW. He says that he’s had some of the greatest matches of his career in WCW but his time their was marred by a group called the n.W.o. He talks about the chaos the n.W.o caused in WCW and how they held back young talent and eventually lead WCW to it’s demise. Booker promises that this time he will stand up to the n.W.o and make sure they don’t put WWE out of business like they did to WCW. Booker says that Goldust may be a freak but he didn’t deserve what the n.W.o did to him. Booker then calls out the entire n.W.o. The crew comes out to the stage to a mix of cheers and boos. HBK gets on the mike first and promises that as long as he’s here Booker will never get the spotlight. Nash gets on the mike and says that Booker will regret coming out here. The n.W.o slowly begin moving down the ramp. Book jumps out and grabs a baseball bat from under the ring and gets back in. HBK, Nash, Big Show, and X-Pac surround the ring as Booker eyes all four of them. Big Show jumps on the apron and Book cracks him across the back with the bat. The other three hit the ring but Booker is able to hold them off and eventually clear the ring. They back up the ramp and Nash grabs a mike. He says that Booker will pay because at Vengeance it will be Booker T vs. Nash. (Nash says that Vince McMahon booked it earlier today.).

Shawn Stasiak vs. Spike Dudley

Stasiak doesn’t do the whole “Planet Stasiak” bit and just comes out with a mean look on his face. It’s a short five minute match that Stasiak dominates. In the end, Stasiak ambushes Spike in the corner and just pummels him with right hands. Spike is eventually busted open and the referee has to stop the match and award it to Spike by DQ. Then, Stasiak just leaves the ring with the same mean look on his face.

 

-Backstage, Matt Hardy wishes his brother Jeff good luck in the WWE Title ladder match against the Undertaker, which is next!

Flair makes an open challenge to anyone in the back before we take a break.

-We come back and Brock Lesner’s music hits. Brock walks out along with Heyman and it appears that the “Next Big Thing” has answered the legend’s challenge. The announcers put over the fact that Lesner already wrestled once tonight and now he’s out here and ready to wrestle the legend.

 

Main Event

“Nature Boy” Ric Flair vs. “Next Big Thing” Brock Lener (w/Paul Heyman)

A good 16-minute match with Lesner showcasing his power while the Nature Boy shows exactly why he is the dirtiest player in the game. In the end, however, Lesner is too much for the Nature and he gets the win with a running powerbomb. After the match, Lesner continues beating on Flair (on Heyman’s command). Lesner drags Flair to the outside next to the English announce table and gets ready to powerbomb him through it until Rob Van Dam races down the ramp and attacks Lesner. RVD throws him in and hits a missile dropkick from the top. RVD goes back up and hits the ***** Frog Splash! The crowd goes crazy as a dazed Lesner gets out and staggers up the ramp with Heyman’s help. Flair gets back in and celebrates with RVD. The final shot shows RVD and Flair holding each other’s arms high in the air.

 

 

 

Again, I'd love to hear what you guys think. Smackdown should be up later today.

[Guest darrdorecw4life]

Good show man, I like the twist u put on the Booker/nWo thing with Booker's interview about WCW. All in all I'd say 8/10. Good job for a first show. I actually really liked Taker raising Jeff's hand on the real RAW so your grade went down becuase of that, lol. Anyways, I'm lookin forward to Smackdown. Also if u have time, check out and reply to some of the other bookings being done around here. What goes around comes around, just remember that. The more people's feds u check out, the more people will check out yours. My ECW show is now up. Check it out and let me know what u think and I'll make a point of keeping an eye out for ur shows. Peace.

WWE Smackdown – 7/4/02

Taped from Boston, Mass.

 

-The Smackdown intro rolls followed by the firework display. We then get a graphic for The Undertaker defending the WWE Title against Kurt Angle in tonight’s main event.

 

-The show opens with Lance Storm, Test, and Christian all coming down to the ring. They all have Canadian Maple Leafs jerseys on. Storm gets on the mike and rips on America, saying that the WWE should ditch America and just tour Canada. Lance says that he was the leader of Team Canada back in WCW but they were never able to get off the ground thanks to guys like Hogan who held them down. Lance says that he’s found someone to help guide Team Canada to the top of the WWE. He is fellow Canadian… Chris Jericho! Jericho comes out in all his glory. He has a new flashy jacket with a big red maple leaf on the back. Jericho gets the mike and says that it’s an honor to be a part of Team Canada. He says that Canadians are the best athletes on earth and that it’s finally time to prove it. Jericho then asks everyone to stand for the Canadian National Anthem. The Anthem plays but soon gets interrupted by Triple H’s theme! Triple H comes out onto the stage to a huge pop. Triple H’s arm is in a sling. He says that he’s not fully recovered from elbow surgery yet but he was backstage and couldn’t stand to hear Jericho’s voice for any longer. He says that famous line of “America - love it or leave it.” Jericho challenges Hunter to come get some. Triple H thinks for a moment and then hits the ring and begins taking it to Team Canada with one arm. They soon overpower him and begin the beatdown. Suddenly, Edge sprints down the ramp and clears the ring. As Team Canada backs up the ramp, Lance Storm challenges Edge to a match tonight, which Edge accepts.

 

-Backstage, Mr. McMahon orders Stacey to go get Hulk Hogan.

Noble hits the superplex off the top for the win. After the match, Rey Mysterio Jr’s “He’s Coming” promo plays on the big screen, confusing Noble.

-Backstage, Hulk Hogan walks into Vince McMahon’s office. McMahon says that he gets the feeling that Hogan’s stock has been dropping lately in the WWE. McMahon thinks that some of the top WWE superstars may be too much for Hogan. First, he taps out to Angle at KOTR and then he needs Edge’s help to beat Jericho last week on Smackdown. McMahon says that he will give Hogan some easier competition at Vengeance. At Vengeance, Hogan will square off against non-other than… Randy Orton. Hogan’s reasonably pissed and punches a hole through the office wall. Hogan then leaves in a rage.

 

-Backstage, Billy, Chuck (w/Rico) are getting ready for their tag team title defense against a mystery team tonight. Rico speculates on who the team will be.

After the match, Deacon continues beating on Holly until Val Venus runs out and chases him off. Val challenges D-Von to a match later tonight which D-Von accepts.

-Backstage, Vince McMahon is with the Undertaker in his office. Vince is upset that Taker is dishing out respect to other people. Vince says that the “old” Undertaker showed respect to no one except himself. Vince thinks that Undertaker is becoming “soft.” Taker grabs Vince by the collar and warns him to show some respect or else. Taker leaves the room and McMahon does his big gulp.

 

Randy Orton Interview

Randy Orton comes out and talks about McMahon booking him against Hulk Hogan at Vengeance. Orton says that he’s a Hulkamaniac and he has no desire to fight Hogan. Orton says that Hogan is a legend and he has nothing but respect for him. Hogan then comes out. He says that Randy’s a good kid and that he understands the position he’s in. Vince McMahon then comes out and says that he’s here to break up this love-fest. Vince says that Hogan will indeed face Orton at Vengeance and that if he goes easy on the rookie Vince will make Hulk's life a living hell. Vince says that if Orton is such a “Hulkamaniac” he can compete in the ring….right now. His opponent…Y2J Chris Jericho! Also, Hogan is barred from ringside. Vince closes out by telling Hulk to stick around because he might have a job for him later on.

Tell me what you guys think.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Good stuff. I like the way you stirred up the tag division. I don't know about Hogan vs. Orton, but I'm also not sure where you're going with it. Jericho leading Team Canada HAS to happen.

[Guest Angle2004]

Hey,

Thanks for checking out the card. I'm glad you liked the tag team title switch. I'm going to try and revive the tag division. About the Hogan/Orton stuff - it's just a way to further the McMahon vs. Hogan feud. I wouldn't just book Orton vs. Hogan in a straight-up feud. But I think you'll like how it ends up. I already have the next Raw written so it will be up later today. Thanks again.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Good, because I saw a Hogan vs. Orton feud in 1986, and it sucked then too

WWE Monday Night Raw – 7/8/02

LIVE from Philadelphia, PA

 

Raw intro rolls to open the show. Then we get the fireworks, pyro, etc.

 

-JR goes over the US title tournament as we get the graphic showing that D’Lo Brown and RVD have already advanced and will face off next week to see who goes to the finals. Tonight, we get Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac in a qualifying match. Also, Chris Benoit makes his return to the ring as he faces Bradshaw in another qualifying match.

After the match, Big Show hits the ring and goes after Jeff but Matt jumps in and low blows Show from behind. The rest of the n.W.o race down the ramp but the Hardyz escape through the crowd. After the match, Kevin Nash gets on the mike and goes apeshit on X-Pac for losing. Nash preaches tough love, saying that X-Pac needs to be taught a lesson. All of a sudden, HBK comes out of nowhere and superkicks Pac’s head off. Big Show doesn’t seem too happy but goes along with it.

 

-Backstage, Ric Flair and RVD arrive together. JR hypes that he will interview both Ric Flair and RVD next.

JR Interviews Ric Flair and RVD in the ring

JR is already in the ring. RVD comes out first to a huge pop. The Nature Boy then makes his entrance to a gigantic pop. JR brings up Flair and RVD’s alliance that was formed last week. Flair thanks RVD for coming down and saving him from taking the powerbomb through the announce table last week. Flair says that RVD is the future of this business and he will be a superstar. Flair then says that himself and RVD worked out a deal where Flair will be his mentor and lead his career in the right direction. RVD gets on the mike and thanks Flair for his help. He says that he really appreciates it and he’s glad to have the “Dirtiest Player in the Game” on his side. Flair says that you’re looking at the next big superstar. That’s the cue for Brock Lesner and Paul Heyman to interrupt. The duo hit the ring and Heyman snatches the mike from Flair. Heyman says that Flair is pathetic. He calls him a has-been and says that he has no business being anywhere near the ring. Heyman thought that Flair would have learned his lesson after getting his ass kicked by Brock last week but obviously Flair is too stupid. Heyman says that “the Next Big Thing” would be happy to destroy Flair once again. Flair grabs the mike and calls Heyman a little s*it. He says that Heyman ran ECW out of business and now he’s trying to make a name for himself with Brock Lesner. Well the Nature Boy has been making a name for himself for twenty years by being a wheelin’ dealing, kiss stealin’, etc, etc. WHOOOO! Heyman then says that he will make a name for himself tonight at the expense of the Nature Boy. He challenges RVD and Flair to take on Heyman and Lesner in a tag match right here tonight. Flair accepts and promises to shove a boot up Heyman’s ass. Lesner seems a little disturbed about having to team with his agent.

-We get a recap of what took place between Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero last week.

 

-Backstage, Chris Benoit arrives at the building. We then see an “earlier today” shot of Eddie Guerrero arriving.

 

Shawn Stasiak vs. Tommy Dreamer

Stasiak isn’t wearing wrestling tights but is just dressed in ripped up jeans. He has that cold stare on his face just like last week. The bell rings and Stasiak immediately tackles Dreamer down and begins wailing away on him with lefts and rights. Stasiak doesn’t let him up and just beats the crap out of him. Dreamer’s nose starts bleeding but Stasiak continues to wail away. The referee stops the match and awards it to Dreamer by DQ. Just like last week, Stasiak backs up the ramp with the cold stare still on his face. The Coach catches up with Stasiak and asks him what this new attitude is all about. Stasiak just says that everything will be explained soon.

-Backstage, Chris Benoit is interviewed. Benoit says that he’s waited a year to come back and tonight he’s gonna be ruthless in the ring.

Suddenly, Eddie Guerrero climbs on the top rope. He looks like he’s gonna hit Bradshaw but he nails Benoit with the Frog Splash instead! Eddie drags Bradshaw onto Benoit and a shaken-up referee makes the count. Bradshaw moves on to face Jeff Hardy in the semi-finals next week. Guerrero just walks out as Benoit begins to stir.

 

-Backstage, Nash, HBK, and Big Show are hanging out in the hallway. Nash is talking on a cell phone. He gets off the phone and says “It’s set, let’s go” and they walk to the ring.

-Backstage, Coach catches up with Eddie Guerrero as he’s leaving the building. He asks him about what just happened and Guerrero goes off on a tirade. He says that Benoit thinks he’s better than everyone and his cockiness cost Guerrero the US title tournament last week. He’s sick of Benoit and Benoit got exactly what he deserved tonight. Suddenly, Benoit runs up out of nowhere and attacks Guerrero. They brawl around the backstage and eventually make their way out into the streets. A group of people soon gathers as the two former friends continue to beat the hell out of each other.

 

n.W.o Interview

HBK, Nash, and Big Show come out to the ring. HBK then calls X-Pac out. Pac comes out with an ice pack on his face. He yells at HBK about the superkick saying that it was BS. HBK says that it was tough love and Pac needed to learn a lesson. Nash gets on the mike and says that he’ll give X-Pac a chance to make it up to them tonight. He just got off the phone with Vince McMahon and the main event for tonight is booked. Apparently, X-Pac is gonna work double duty as Nash announces that he will take on Booker T in the main event and he better win. X-Pac protests but quickly shuts up after Nash puts him in place. All of a sudden, Booker T runs in the ring from the crowd. Booker spins Show around hits the Book End! Nash knocks Book down from behind. Nash then gets him up and drops him with the Jackknife Powerbomb! Nash gets on the mike and promises that the same thing will happen later tonight and at Vengeance when Nash faces Booker T. The n.W.o then leave together.

-In the streets, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit are still going out it. The crowd of people has gotten larger and its like a mob scene out there. Suddenly, cops arrive and break up the fight. They arrest both Benoit and Guerrero and put them into separate squad cars. It looks like Benoit and Guerrero will spend the night in jail.

 

Raven vs. Crash Holly

Raven is dressed more like he used to dress in WCW with the ripped up jean shorts and the leather jacket. Raven dominates the entire match and quickly puts Holly away with the Evenflow DDT. The announcers note that this is the most aggressive we’ve seen Raven in a while.

 

-Backstage, Brock Lesner and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring. Lesner/Heyman vs. Flair/RVD is next! .

 

-Commercial

 

Brock Lesner/Paul Heyman vs. RVD/Flair

Most of the match sees RVD and Lesner providing the action. Towards the end, Lesner beats down RVD and tags Heyman (Heyman demands the tag.) Heyman stomps RVD a few times until RVD shoves him away and tags the Nature Boy. Flair chops the hell out of Heyman to the crowd’s delight. Meanwhile, RVD and Lesner are brawling on the floor. D’Lo Brown comes out of nowhere and attacks RVD. D’Lo gives him a sit-down powerbomb on the floor (Looks like D’Lo is trying to soften RVD up for their US title semi-final match next week.). Flair goes to check on RVD, which gives Heyman the chance to tag Lesner. Lesner drags Flair back in and gives him the spinning neckbreaker move (forgot the name) for the win. Heyman and Lesner leave while RVD and Flair are both down and hurt.

 

-Backstage, Booker T is interviewed. The basis is Booker's condition after taking that powerbomb from Nash earlier tonight. Booker says that he'll take powerbomb after powerbomb and keep going until he gets Nash's ass one on one at Vengeance. Book says that he isn't 100% but he's in good enough condition to compete. Tonight, X-Pac is just another bump in the road and Booker will run through him.... SUCKA!!!

 

-Backstage, The entire nWo walks to the ring. X-Pac vs. Booker T is next.

Main Event

Booker T vs. X-Pac (w/n.W.o)

HBK and Nash are on commentary while Big Show stands guard at ringside. Finish comes when X-Pac clotheslines Booker over the top. Pac distracts the referee as Big Show yanks Booker up and drops him with a chockslam on the floor. He throws him back in and X-Pac hits the X-Factor for the win. The entire n.W.o then hits the ring and the beatdown ensues. All of a sudden the ULTIMATE WARRIOR’S MUSIC HITS. WHAT THE HELL? The Warrior races down the ramp as the crowd goes nuts. Upon closer look we see that its Goldust dressed in the Warrior’s old flashy tights, robe, facepaint, etc. Goldust jumps on the apron and shakes the ropes as the nWo stands there in complete shock. Goldust jumps in, attacks the nWo, and soon clears the ring. The Ultimate Goldust and Booker T celebrate as the show goes off the air.

 

 

 

I'd love to here your opinions negative or positive. Smackdown should be up sometime tomorrow.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

HAHAHA man I would love to see that Goldust thing happen in real life. That was classic. Keep up the good work.

The announcers note that Hogan left the arena before the show began.

 

Vince McMahon/Kurt Angle interview

Vince McMahon marches down to the ring along with Kurt Angle. He promised a big announcement and Vince McMahon always keeps his word. Vince says that he booked Hogan against Randy Orton at Vengeance because Hogan is useless unless he helps younger talent move up and that’s what Vince is using him for. He talks about how Hogan cost Angle WWE Title and how he mouthed off to McMahon earlier today. Well McMahon has made a decision regarding Hogan’s match with Randy Orton at Vengeance. There will be a special guest referee for that match and his name is Vince McMahon! But that’s not it… the stipulation for that match is that if Hogan loses (which Vince promises he will) Hogan’s wrestling career will be over. Hogan will still be employed by WWE however his new position will be a… lowly referee. Vince pictures Hogan after Vengeance – a broken down old man that lost to a rookie and is now a referee. Vince says that it will be a site to see. Vince then says he has another announcement regarding the WWE Title match at Vengeance between the Undertaker and the Rock. Vinny Mac has decided that since Kurt Angle was screwed out of the WWE Title last week by Hogan Angle will get another shot at Vengeance. That’s right… it will now be a triple threat match with Undertaker, Rock, and Angle. Angle gets on the mike and gloats about Mr. McMahon’s announcement. He promises to become the new WWE champion at Vengeance. Angle talks about how he’s beaten both Rock and Undertaker in the past and at Vengeance he will do the same thing. The interview ends with Angle thanking Vince for putting him in the title match.

Billy and Chuck celebrate their revenge but its short lived as the Canadians attack them from behind. Test hits the Pumphandle on Billy while Christian nails Chuck with the Unprettier.

 

-Backstage, Jaime Noble (w/Nidia) is interviewed. The topic at hand is the impending arrival of former WCW Crusereweight champ Rey Mysterio Jr. and what kind of threat he is to Noble’s title reign. Jaime says that no one will ever take this belt from him and that he’s the best cruserweight – past, present, and future. Nidia is apparently turned on by Jaime’s cockiness and they make out as the camera shifts away.

Jericho gives a hero-like introduction to Lance Storm, calling him the best pure athlete to ever come out of Canada. When it comes time for John Cena’s entrance, Jericho makes fun of him saying that he’s from parts unkown and his name is John Zero. Jericho’s gets in Cena’s face as soon as he gets in the ring. Cena has enough and slaps the holy hell out of Jericho. The referee gets Jericho out of the ring as Storm attacks Cena to start the match. This one goes a good 15 minutes. Storm does everything he can to put Cena out early but Cena just keeps going and going. The announcers put him over huge about how this is his debut match and how well he’s doing. In the end, Storm proves to be too much as he puts Cena away with the Half Boston Crab. After the match, Storm and Jericho beat on Cena for about a minute.

Rock talks about his opponents, Angle and Undertaker, saying that they’re both tough SOB’s but at Vengeance Rock will turn two boots sideways, etc, etc. This leads to Kurt Angle coming out and interrupting. Kurt cuts a promo, saying that the reason Rock was out making movies is because Angle ran him out of WWE. Angle suggests that a movie should be made about all of his accomplishments in the Olympics and WWE. Kurt predicts that a movie like that would blow the Scorpion King out of the water. Angle says that at Vengeance he will run Rock out of WWE once again. We get a quick staredown before Rock attacks Angle. We have an impromptu brawl and Rock and Angle beat the hell out of each other. Angle seems to be getting the advantage before Undertaker runs out and knocks him down from behind. Undertaker then hits a huge chockslam on Angle. Rock then yanks Angle up and hits the Rock Bottom. Taker picks a battered Angle up and nails him with a HUGE Last Ride. The crowd is off the hook. Rock then hits the People’s Elbow on Kurt to another huge pop. Rock peels Angle off the mat and launches him over the top rope and out of the ring. As Rock is turning around Taker grabs him by the throat and hits the chockslam. Undertaker leaves the ring.

Nash then gets on the mike and talks about his match with Booker T at Vengeance. He says that Booker can do all the whining and crying that he wants about the n.W.o putting WCW out of business but the bottom line is that when WCW went out of business Booker was the champ. Nash then says that he can’t wait to kick Booker’s ass so he challenges Book to get two partners and face Nash, X-Pac, and Big Show in a six-man tag right here tonight.

Goldust says that he’s going to erase Booker’s memory so he won’t be worrying about his match with Nash during the six man tag. He takes out the red flashy zap thing and presses the button but Booker’s expression doesn’t change. Booker has the “what the hell…?” look on his face. He tells Goldust to stop screwing around and get ready for the match.

We get a nice hard-hitting affair in this one. We go 9 minutes before Benoit is able to lock in the Crippler Crossface and get the victory.

He’s got shades on and is dressed in street clothes. McMahon first goes over the rules of the triple threat match for the WWE title between Taker, Rock, and Angle. Vince says that it will be elimination rules and that the last man standing will be WWE champion. McMahon then says that last week he got the best of Hogan once again. McMahon says that he bought Randy Orton. Vince says that he implanted ruthless aggression inside of Randy Orton and he did it with money. Vince says that saying all the prayers and taking all the vitamins will never make you rich and last week Randy Orton realized that. McMahon says that he has another gift for Randy Orton and brings out Dawn Marie. He introduces her to Orton and she immediately flirts with him and kisses him. Dawn and Stacy still give each other dirty looks but Stacy has nothing to worry about since Dawn will be too busy with Orton to come after Vinny Mac. Vince proclaims that life doesn’t get any better after you embarrass a legend. Then, Hulk Hogan’s music hits. He comes out and heads straight for the ring without saying a word. McMahon and the ladies bail but Hogan is able to catch Orton before he jumps out. Hogan beats the hell out of Orton and throws him out of the ring.

Finals of the WWE US Title tournament

Jeff Hardy vs. D'Lo Brown

[Guest ryankeast]

This serise is great.

 

I'm digging it and you have still managed to keep both rosters seperated.

(Whereas I coped out and obolised the split in my serise)

 

I think between me and you and others on this board we could so do a better job than what the WWE is currently putting out)

 

Thanx for viewing my serise and just like to go through your plus points on yours -

 

RAW.

 

*Like mine you've got rid of the Hardcore and Euro Titles and started a US title tournament. A hell Dlo and a rejuvenated Jeff Hardy is a great choice for a final.

 

*Speaking of rejuvenated - Good shout for pushing Raven and Stasiak.

 

*You've managed to make the N.WO and the Booker feud interesting.

 

*Beniot/Guerreo Feud is Great.

 

Smackdown

 

*Canadian Stable is just gold - given them a decent feud in HHH and Edge

 

*Revitalizing the Tag Division

 

*Hogan/ Orton I like. Orton is reminding me of The Rock back in late 98. I don't think he will main event after this , but what a HUGE rub, working with Hogan.

 

Keep it up mate.

[Guest Angle2004]

Hey,

thanks a lot for the reply and the good words. About the Orton/Hogan feud - I'm pretty much using Orton as a way to further the McMahon/Hogan feud which will culminate at Summerslam.

 

Vengeance should be up later tonight

[Guest Angle2004]

Heyman says that it would be better for Rock’s health if he didn’t win the belt because Brock Lesnar would be waiting for him at Summerslam. Rock makes fun of Heyman and Lesnar, speculating that agent/client isn’t their only relationship. Brock steps in and says that he’ll be rooting for Rock to win the belt tonight so Brock can kick his ass at SummerSlam.

Shawn tears into Taker and cuts an emotional promo about him ending Shawn’s career in 1998. HBK says that Taker deserved that superkick on Raw and that he’s a piece of shit for ending his career. Taker grabs him by the throat and is about to nail him when Kevin Nash runs into the room and nails Taker from behind. Nash holds Taker in place while HBK grabs a chair and smashes it over Taker’s head. Nash then gets Taker up and powerbombs him through a near-by table. Officials arrive and check on the WWE champion while Nash and HBK walk off.

 

-We get a video package hyping RVD vs. Lesner.

 

WWE IC Title Streetfight

Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman vs. Rob Van Dam © w/Ric Flair

RVD and Brock go 17 minutes in an ECW-type hardcore match. They absolutely kill each other. At one point Heyman tries to get involved but Flair chases him to the back. In the end, Lesnar seems to be in control. He sets up a table. Brock then goes up top and gets ready to hit that shooting star press. Suddenly, Rock runs down aisle! He crotches Brock on the top rope and then throws him back to the ring. Rock rolls RVD off the table and then Rock Bottoms Lesner through it!! Rock rolls RVD onto Lesnar and the referee makes the count. RVD wins and retains the IC title! RVD celebrates over a fallen Lesnar as Rock watches from the aisle.

 

-Backstage, officials and EMT’s are tending to the Undertaker. Their advice is that he shouldn’t compete in the title match after the attack by the n.W.o. Taker basically tells them where they can go and promises to compete tonight or die trying.

 

-Backstage, Kevin Nash along with the rest of the n.W.o walk to the ring.

 

Booker T w/Goldust vs. Kevin Nash w/nWo

This match goes 11 minutes. It's pretty even but whenever Booker tries to pull ahead one of the nWo members gets involved by tripping him or distracting the referee, etc. Goldust finally sees enough and attacks the nWo at ringside but they overpower him and beat him down. Booker tries to help him but Nash nails him from behind with a chair. Nash brings him back in and hits a powerbomb for the win. Afterwards, the traditional nWo beat down ensues until Undertaker (head bandaged up) runs out. He is barely able to get a piece of them before they run out. Undertaker is still visibly hurt from that beating earlier tonight.

-Randy Orton is interview. He says that he will rid the wrestling world of Hogan tonight. He’s glad that Mr. McMahon has showed him the light. Orton says that he was blinded by Hulkamania just like the rest of the Hulkamaniacs are. He says that Vince made him realize how pathetic Hogan is and it will be his pleasure to embarrass him and turn him into a lowly referee after tonight.

 

-The Coach interviews Cowboy Bob Orton at ringside. Bob says that he’s ashamed of the way his so has acted and he hopes that he gets his tonight.

 

Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton with Mr. McMahon as the special referee Stipulation: If Hogan loses his in-ring career is over and he must become a referee

This one goes a short 9 minutes. The announcers talk about how McMahon originally made this match to embarrass Hogan but it has turned into one of the most important matches of Hulk’s life. Hogan basically beats the living crap out of Orton for most of the match. At one point Orton tries to escape through the crowd but his dad throws him back over the railing. Whenever Hogan goes for a cover McMahon counts slowly or pretends to have something in his eye, etc. At one point, Orton tries a flying clothesline but Hogan moves and McMahon takes the shot. Hogan then throws Vince out of the ring. Hulk then hits the big legdrop on Orton. Another referee runs down and makes the count, giving Hulkster the win.

Lance then hooks the Half Boston Crab on Hunter while Jericho locks on the Walls on Edge. John Cena surprisingly runs out to help but is quickly overpowered and also beat down. At this point, the crowd is throwing garbage in the ring. Lance then grabs a mike and says that no one will ever make a joke out of Team Canada ever again. Security storms the ring and restrains Team Canada.

WWE Title Triple Threat Elimination Match

The Undertaker © vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle

This one goes 17 minutes. Undertaker is the first to be eliminated when Shawn Michaels comes out and distracts him allowing Angle to hit the Angle Slam from behind for the pin. Taker then chases Shawn to the back. It’s down to Kurt and Rock. They go at it tooth and nail but in the end the Great One proves to be too much for our Olympic Hero. Rock hits the Rock Bottom followed by the people’s elbow for victory and the WWE title. It will be Brock Lesner vs. The Rock for the WWE title at SummerSlam.

[Guest ryankeast]

Great PPV.

 

Setting up the next month of TV.

 

On Raw we will see Undertaker battle against Nash and Michaels.

Rock and Brock programme which is great as it continues to elavate Brock and we see Rocky on Raw.

 

The Hardies are no more - interesting that your having another stab at a Hardies Angle. Sticking The new US Champ Dlo Brown in is also a good move.

 

Smakedown is interesting too.

 

The Hogan McMahon feud is taken to another level and I'm sure they will meet at Summerslam.

 

Is Beniot joining Team Canada.

 

All in all a great PPV mate .

 

Well Done.
