It's the match where Kurt turned on the WWE. They were billing it as a HUGE Wrestlemania 17 rematch and it ended up being not very good for ratings.

I won't bother with different posts for each so here are the recaps to the four mathces mentioned. Hart/Shamrock is recapped by G.P. Ryan and the rest are by CRZ:

 

Ken Shamrock vs. WWF champion Bret Hart

Really not too much to describe here, to be honest. It's standard

action, decently enough done, though. --break-- Bret goes for the

ringpost figure-four, but Shamrock uses his legs to leverage Bret into

the post. Shamrock goes outside and whips Bret into the steps. Bret

brings a chair surreptitiously into the ring, but Shamrock steps on it

and goes on the offense with a rana. Bret rakes his face, but the

Russian legsweep is countered with a belly-to-belly for 2. Bret

reverses a corner whip and clotheslines him, then goes for the

Sharpshooter, but Shamrock reverses into the Achilles Tendon Hold.

Bret taps out, but the ref had taken a bump. Bret adjusts Shamrock's

vertebrae with the chair and has just applied the Sharpshooter when

Michaels storms the ring and superkicks him, then pummels him.

Shamrock pummels HBK and gives him a belly-to-belly and more punches.

WINNER: no contest, at 12:15 (approximate) *1/2 -- *3/4

 

 

KANE v. GANGREL (with Christian) - we learn that Kane has been named one of the Sweet Sixteen. Gangrel tries to attack before the bell but Kane takes it to him instead. Punch, punch, punch. Choke. Yeah, Kane's doing all this. Whip into the ropes, big boot. Christian pulls the top rope and drags Kane out, who lands on his feet. Before anything happens between THOSE two, Gangrel leaps from the apron onto Kane with an axehandle. Kane slams him after feeling no effects. Gangrel meets the barricade. Kane throws Gangrel back in and gives him a throat chop. Gangrel ducks the clothesline, pokes his eye, and fails to belly-to-belly suplex him. Kane with a double throat slam. To the corner we go, head meets buckle. Throat chop. Whip into the opposite corner - sidewalk slam (Ross suffers from Schiavone's disease and fails to call it). Christian tries to prevent Kane from climbing the ropes and gets kicked away. Gangrel climbs the ropes but Kane shoves him off, there's the top rope flying clothesline! Chokeslam attempt - GREAT facial expressions by Gangrel. 1, 2, 3. (3:03) - Christian with an elbow from the top rope but Kane doesn't feel it. The doubleteam is on, and fails. Both men kicked away. Now EDGE is in - he clips Kane (huh?) and the TRIPLE team is on. Kaientai style beating ensues (Kane lying on his back, quick rapidfire elbowdrops). Kane does the zombie situp and they scatter, leaving together, out through the crowd. Weirdness to note: fans (or Memorex?) *cheer* Kane; and Edge suddenly seems to be getting along with his brother and Gangrel. Maybe he's come home?

 

 

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: ROB VAN DAM v. KING EDGE (with Rob Zombie CD cover) - HOLD THE PHONE! Why is Rob van Dam competing for a WWF title? Isn't Vince trying to get the hardcore title OFF van Dam? But now van Dam gets to go for ANOTHER piece of WWF hardware? That DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. We can only assume Edge will go over somehow, since they didn't pursue the more logical match story of Edge/van Dam for the hardcore championship - if Edge gets a fall in THAT scenario, the hardcore title changes hands and you'd think they probably want to keep the belts where they are. OR, and this could be even more likely, they need a run-in and DQ in here and a hardcore match wouldn't get that accomplished - in which case I stand by my original "plot in hole is symptomatic of weak thinking writer" bitching. Hey, I guess I could STOP bitching and "get to the damn match, already," though, couldn't I? Right, HERE WE GO: Lockup, van Dam side headlock...powered out, shoulderblock by van Dam (1). van Dam off the ropes, backflip over Edge as he drops down - van Dam with a gutshot, Edge into the ropes, van Dam hits the splits - so Edge dropkicks him in the head (ha!). van Dam into the ropes, Edge flapjacks him. Stomp. Elbow, into the opposite corner is reversed, van Dam somersaults into a monkey flip attempt, but Edge lands on his feet...van Dam ducks a clothesline, catches the kick, steps over and hits a standing spinning heel kick right on the button. Edge rolls out to the apron and pulls himself up. van Dam runs the ropes and puts him onto the floor with...not a roaring elbow - more of a whispering elbow. van Dam onto the apron - FROG SPLASH! Referee "Blind" Tim White is out to remind them that he actually counts people out (see Heat). Everybody back in - kick by van Dam - whip into the opposite corner is reversed, but van Dam gets the elbow up. van Dam to the second rope...spinning heel kick, but he kinda hits him with his BUTT instead - whichever, it takes Edge off his feet for 2. van Dam in control - gutshot, elbow, elbow, Edge switches back, elbow, elbow, elbow - van Dam manages an atomic drop - a clothesline, a backflip press and he gets 2 again. Stomp. Elbow. Kick, right, right, elbow, (they're calling spots!) into the opposite corner, boot up by Edge - everybody staggers - Edge ducks a clothesline and hits a ...I dunno, let's call it a 3/4 nelson bulldog with Edge sitting out - yeah, that's good and confusing - leaving both men down. The count is on - both men up before 5. Into the ropes by Edge, big back body drop - clothesline by Edge - Viscera kick - into the ropes is reversed, van Dam with a standing heel kick. Stomp. Split-legged moonsault - but Edge gets the knees up! Heyman just suggested that if the Alliance won at Survivor Series, maybe they'd "look for Schiavone or something." Looks like the WWF's gonna win! Edge with a rollup for 2, van Dam rolls back for 2, Edge shoves him out - but runs into a superkick. van Dam off the ropes - Rolling Thunder hits but van Dam is slow to cover - 1, 2, Edge scissors the arm and cradles - 1, 2, NO! van Dam misses a clothesline - Edge hits Edge-o-matic - but only for 2! Edge with a stomp. Pulls him up - into the opposite corner, reversed, van Dam starts a tumbling run - so Edge SPEARS him! OH NO VAN DAM PISSED HIS PANTS AGAIN 1, 2, NO!! Edge can't believe it. Edge slowly climbs the corner...van Dam catches him as he hits the second floor and pulls him back with a slam. van Dam up - Fivestar frog splash MISSES! Edge hits the DDT, which you and I knew as the Buzzkiller and Ross knew as the Impaler - but which is NOW known as the Edge-ucution - or to Ross NOW as the Executioner (well, he's getting there) - at any rate, as Tony would say "that's his move!" and guess what - 1, 2, 3 and van Dam actually gets pinned. And THAT'S why it wasn't a HC match. See, put enough theories out there and one of 'em's GOTTA be right! Ain't I smark - I mean smart? (5:28)

 

 

SHANO v. BILLIONAIRE VINCE in a Street Fight - Maybe Earl Hebner will turn.....nah, too easy. Shane doesn't want to let Vince get in the ring, trying to kick through the ropes. Hebner tries to hold Shane back but isn't having much luck. Shane finally tries the baseball slide out but Vince is waiting - right, (bell rings) right, right, and Shane trips on the ramp. Vince mounts and punches. I DARE Jim Ross to call this "bowling show ugly." Vince throttles his son. More rights. Vince grabs a "KEEP OFF" sign off the barricade - and whacks Shane in the back. Field goal kick. WHACK in the head. Vince throws Shane into the STEEL steps. Running kick. Shane has made sure to wear a well-tucked-in shirt underneath his jersey lest we catch sight of his abs - and I'm not sure how we would underneath the layers of ("hey, that's a low blow - you ain't YOUR ideal weight, neither.") Yeah, but I hide behind a computer to look thin. Hey, lookit the BUBBLE GUN in the crowd! Awesome! Camera quick shift shots to avoid seeing it. Shane rammed into the post. Another field goal kick. Shane finally fires back - no luck. Double sledge by Vince - and another one. Vince grabs the cable and chokes away. Vince back to another cable choke. Vince tosses Shane into the ring (THEY'RE GOING IN THE RING?!?) and looks for plundah (oh) underneath - garbage can, lid, can, lid, can, kendo stick, lid, can - back in for another field goal. Vince gets bleeped as he raises a can - but Shane lands an uppernut before he can use it. Shane takes a garbage can lid to Vince's back - WHACK - WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK. "You wanna play with me? You wanna play?" Snap elbowdrop, elbowdrop, elbowdrop. Shane rolls him over and rabbit punches him (four). Shane with a can - can in the chest. Shane places the can on Vince's chest...and starts his climb to the top....ohh no SHOOTING STAR PRESS but it MISSES and Shane squashes the garbage can instead! You bet that gets an Xbox Replay (two angles). Vince attempts to capitalize - double sledge. Vince grabs a can...no, puts it down. He's got the Singapore cane - stick in the back! Stick in the belly! STICK! STICK! STICK! Vince waits for Shane to get up...and clotheslines him out of the ring. Shane out of the ring - Vince down the stairs. Vince to the commentary table - top is gone. Crowd chants "table" as Vince rearranges the furniture. Monitors and fans away - Vince turns back to catch a garbage can lid from Shane RIGHT in the face! WHACK again! And one in the back. MONITOR to the head! Vince is dead on the table - and Shane is looking behind him at the turnbuckles one more time. Back in the ring - vault to the top - Savage elbow from the far turnbuckle to the table, allegedly landing somewhere near Vince as well! They're both out. Xbox replay, each angle more charitable than the last. I wonder when somebody jumps to the Alliance...no, wait. Shane pulls Vince up, carries him on his back, rolled into the ring - I guess falls don't count anywhere in this match. Cover - 1, 2, VINCE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!! Crowd goes silent, wondering when the run-in will happen. Kick by Shane, kick, kick. Shane with a right, right. Shane with the can - can to the back of the head. Shane puts the can between the ropes - and Vince's head rests between the corner and the can. "Dad, hold this can up for me, would ya?" The camera no longer looks at Vince as Shane climbs to the top - another van Terminator? Well, he TRIES it - but Vince manages to put the can into Shane's knees in mid-dropkick! So it was OKAY that he was holding it - ohhhh here's T&T to keep Vince from covering - and now here's the FUN BROTHERS - no turns yet - Test dumped over the top by Kane - he follows - DOUBLE BIG BOOT and they're both out. Back in the ring, Booker T takes the Last Ride (and a heroic effort on T's part to stay in position instead of Testing it up) but COMMISSIONER REGAL lands an uppernut on Taker. UNION JACK!! Regal stomps until ROCK comes out - right, right, right, right, ROCK BOTTOM!! Stomping away - STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN KICK WHAM STUNNER ON THE ROCK! KURT ANGLE is next in our rumble - he's got a chair and Austin begs off - CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO right behind Angle NOOOOO ANGLE JUST CHAIRED JERICHO WAS IT INTENTIONAL OR AN ACCIDENT OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ANGLE JUST CHAIRED ROCK IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT NO NO NO ANGLE CHAIRS TAKER ANGLE CHAIRS KANE NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Austin picks up Vince - KICK WHAM STUNNER (kinda) and Shane's put on top - OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - 1, 2, 3 WHYYYYYYYYYYY(11:11)YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Shane, Austin and Angle are the last men standing...Houston, we have a problem.
