Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 17, 2002 Daisuke Ikeda pinned Justin Credible with the Dai-Chan Bomber in 0:08:26. Rating: ** My View: Great Opener, Daisuke, is a stiffer more shoot oriented fighterm and really took it to Justin Credible's more familar style. I'll concur with the ratings ** Cruiserweight tag team championship Essa Rios and Blitzkrieg defeated The Young Lions when Blitzkrieg pinned Matthews with the Stardust Press in 0:11:34. Rating: 1/4* (Essa Rios and Blitzkrieg retained the Cruiserweight Tag titles.) My View was a great match watching it, Essa and Blitzkrieg contiues their winner streak as Cruiserweight tag champs, I would rate this a easy *** *** Nova (Innovator) and Chris Chetti defeated Swinger and Simon Diamond when Chetti made S. Diamond submit to an abdominal stretch in 0:29:22. Rating: ** 1/2 My View: A Great Match! Near Falls back and forth Even kick outs to each other's Finishers. I Say Another Solid *** *** Cruiserweight Championship El Samurai defeated Great Sasuke by disqualification in 0:17:15. Rating: **** 1/4 (El Samurai retained the Cruiserweight title.) My View: Match of the Night Calibur! Alot of Nearfalls, El Samurai couldn't defeat Sasuke with his Samurai bomb, which ended the matches of so many before, Gran Hamada came out however and beat down El Samurai to cause the DQ loss to Great Sasuke. I'll stick with the ratings **** 1/4 Angel defeated Hercules by countout in 0:10:22. Rating: -** My View: Long match considering who is involved, and countout ending sad... I'll stick with the Ratings -** Hardcore Tag team Championship No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match The Gangstas defeated The Head Hunters when Mustafa pinned Head Hunter #2 after an elbowdrop in 0:10:07. Rating: ** 1/2 (The Gangstas won the Hardcore Tag team Titles.) My View: Great match that ranged all over the arena. Pure Garbage match of course, blood all over the place, but the Sadistic crowds cheering it out. I'll concur with the ratings **1/2 Rob Van Dam pinned Keni'chiro Arai with the Van Daminator in 0:07:32. Rating: ** 1/2 My View: A Great showing for both wrestlers. Arai got RVD a number of times even hitting his Moonsault Headbutt for a near fall. But RVD came back and Nailed the Vandaminator for the 3 count. I'll push it up to *** *** Hardcore Championship No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match The Sandman pinned Masato Tanaka after an inside cradle in 0:08:11. Rating: 3/4* (The Sandman won the Hardcore title.) My View: Sandman of course took his time getting down to the ring, finishing the enter the sandman theme by drinking beer and stumbling around hitting himself with a Cane. Finally the matchn started and went the 8 minutes, so really its 13 minutes LOL Just a Sandman match really, as Masato had to Phone it in to not make the Drunken bastard look bad, so Sandman wins the belt, I'll agree with the ratings here 3/4* Yoshinari Ogawa and Mitsuharu Misawa defeated The Pitbulls when Y. Ogawa pinned Pitbull #2 with the backdrop suplex hold in 0:12:39. Rating: 1/2* My View: Misawa and Ogawa could only do so much with the opponents they have, I'll push it up a full point. *1/2 European Championship Lance Storm made Jerry Lynn submit to the Canadian Maple Leaf in 0:13:28. Rating: *** 1/2 (Lance Storm won the European Title.) My View: Great match, back and forth and near falls. Lance Storm winning the European Title for Canada! I'll push it up a 1/2 point **** Sabu and Taz defeated Public Enemy when Taz made Rocco Rock submit to the Tazmission in 0:20:06. Rating: 3/4* My View: The match goes overtime 6 seconds and Taz makes Rocco tap out. The ratings is a bit light considering the back and forth that went on for 20 solid minutes i'll push it up 2 **'s **3/4 World 6 Man Tag Championship Triple Threat and Bam Bam Bigelow defeated dudley family (Dances With Dudley, Dudley Dudley and Li'l Snot Dudley) when Bigelow pinned D.W. Dudley after a slingshot splash in 0:13:21. Rating: -* 1/4 (Triple Threat and Bam Bam Bigelow won the 6 Man Tag Titles.) My View: After Big Dick's injury the Dudley Family's hold of the 6man titles was pretty much on the ropes. Triple Threat systematically disected the Dudleys and won the belts. I'd pump it up feeling to generous. 1/2* Brian Pillman defeated Tommy Dreamer by disqualification in 0:25:58. Rating: ** 3/4 My Views another great over the time limit match between dreamer and pillman. and if it wasn't for the DQ at the end I would have pushed the match up so I'll agree with the ratings as it stands **3/4 United Asian Championship Jumbo Tsuruta pinned Giant Baba after a powerslam in 0:06:28. Rating: -**** 3/4 (Jumbo Tsuruta retained the United Asian Title.) My Ratings: a 6 minute match isn't really a Squash, but Giant Baba must be giving Jumbo his blessing in putting the United Asian Champion over. Jumbo now got 3 wins in a row as Champ. I pump up the ratings to * since the TNM hates Giants for some reason * Raven defeated Jado by disqualification in 0:04:19. Rating: -1/4* My View: Just a Clusterfuck of a Match, just when Raven gets the upperhand Gedo comes in and the two beat him down for the DQ.. I'll stick with the ratings -1/4* Shoot fight Championship Last Man Standing No-Time-Limit-Match Owen Hart made Doug Furnas submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:12:37. Rating: ** 3/4 (Owen Hart won the Shooting Fighting Title.) My View Another match of the night calibur screw the TNM ratings on this one, They went back and forth and Owen got the Sharpshooter victory and title in the last man standing, For the Hart Dungeon Pride! I Say **** 3/4 Bruno Sammartino defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper by disqualification in 0:06:36. Rating: -3/4* My View: Hot Rod in full heel mode simply choked Bruno past the 5 count and got DQ'd and of course other silliness results. Bruno was as solid as he was 40 years ago LOL So I'll be nice to the Living Legend * United States Championship Mr. Perfect pinned Jeff Jarrett after a figure-four leglock in 0:00:17. Rating: * (Mr. Perfect won the United States Title.) My View: Amazing Squash match for Mr Perfect! Guess The Management got tired of Jarrett calling people Slapnuts The ratings stands for a 17 second match, even humiliation for Perfect using Jarrett's own move to finish him off. * Hugh Morris pinned Rikishi Fatu with the Moonsault in 0:10:28. Rating: -* 1/2 My Views: the crowd just Wasn't into Hugh Morris, and with Kevin Sullivan's Involvement in assisting Rikishi, Just didn't add to it. The ratings stand -*1/2 World Tag team Championship The Rockers defeated The Dudley Boys when Jannetty defeated D-Von Dudley by disqualification in 0:07:35. Rating: 1/4* (The Rockers retained the World Tag team Titles.) My View: The Rockers and Dudleys would have been a decent match on paper, but the DQ called because of the injured Big Dick Dudley's interferance dampened my feeling to Add to the ratings, so it stays the same 1/4* Mr. Hughes pinned Boris Zhukov with the Sidewalk Slam in 0:11:22. Rating: -*** 3/4 My View: Can't say something nice don't say anything at all. HEH -*** 3/4 World Heavyweight Championship The Big Show pinned The Undertaker with the ShowStopper in 0:16:30. Rating: * 3/4 (The Big Show retained the World Heavyweight Title.) My Views: Big Show beating Taker to defend the title... Well isn't this bizarro World, but I'll stick with the ratings cuz Im a Nice guy *3/4 Best Matches Owen vs Doug Furnas, Great Sasuke vs El Samurai and Storm vs Jerry Lynn Worst Match Hughes vs Zhukoff your opinions. and your own ratings appeciated.
