"Chuck Palumbo def. Diamond Dallas Page

Vampiro def. Hulk Hogan"

 

Holy fuck. BTW what is this, Ric flair vs midcarders week?

Yes during Russo's booking he did have a lot of young guys go over established stars but problem was none of them could go over clean and the booking was so shitty in general, so no one was watching thus no one really got over because of it. Palumbo won due to interference by Mike Awesome and Vampiro won due to interference by Billy Kidman. Didn't help that it was the same show where Daffney won the Cruiserweight title.

 

Oh and how dare you say Syxx is a midcarder! He's been main eventing PPVs for years...just ask him. :lol:

Biggest problem was that Luger, Hogan, etc. would refuse to job to Vampiro, Kidman, Awesome, Palumbo, etc. clean. Didn't have a big problem with Daffney winning the title, as it was won on a fluke. Russo did wind up putting Three Count, Chavo, Lash, Jung Dragons, Skipper, etc. on TV, so I was happy.

Yes it was an NBA playoff situation so the show was only one hour. The previous week they had just two matches and less than 5 minutes of wrestling time. This week it was three matches with a little over 8 minutes of wrestling time.
