Bored 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 Mike Awesome wins a Countdown to Armageddon Match Russo's Royal Rumble Ripoff!!!!!! WOO! Was the battle Royal Flair won to become #1 contender different? I can't recall... 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
