CanadianChick Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Judging from the pictures, I see a RVD/Rey vs. Chavo/Noble. Given time, that would have been a really fun match.
Markme123 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 1. Shoichi Funaki defeated Spike Dudley in 6 minutes, 35 seconds with a backslide. 2. Billy Gunn defeated Mark Jindrak in 5 minutes, 40 seconds with the Fameasser. 3. Rob Van Dam & Rey Misterio Jr. defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Jamie Knoble in 11 minutes, 54 seconds when RVD pinned Chavo after the Five-Star Frog Splash and Misterio pinned Knoble with a springboard legdrop at the same time. 4. Luther Reigns defeated Charlie Haas in 5 minutes, 41 seconds with a swinging neckbreaker drop. 5. Handicap match: The Undertaker defeated The Dudley Boys in 15 minutes, 2 seconds when Taker used a Tombstone Pile Driver on D-Von for the win. 6. John Cena defeated Rene Dupree in 7 minutes, 21 seconds with the FU. 7. WWE Tag Titles Match: Paul London & Billy Kidman defeated Johnny Stamboli & Nunzio in 7 minutes, 18 seconds when London used the Firebird Splash on Nunzio for the win. 8. Dawn Marie defeated Torrie Wilson in 3 minutes, 11 seconds by using the ropes on the pin attempt for leverage for the win. 9. WWE Heavyweight Title Match: Eddy Guerrero defeated John Bradshaw Layfield in 17 minutes, 3 seconds by disqualification when Kurt Angle did a run-in. Crowd was hot for the match, with "JBL sucks" chants and "Eddie" calls. Finish saw a chair shot sequence, which lead to Kurt Angle running in for the DQ. The Undertaker came out, then Rene Dupree and Luther Reigns came out. The "big surprise" promised was the appearance of Shane McMahon, who promised Undertaker & Guerrero vs. JBL & Kurt Angle for the 7/17 Nippon Budokan show (which has some tickets not sold).

iliketurtles Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Angle returns to the ring in Japan? That's cool shit.
Exslade ZX Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 I don't see why they haven't pushed Rey/RVD for the Tag Titles yet...when they had the chance a while ago when they were teaming on a normal basis. They really should...seeing as neither one of them are doing anything now. And give the Cruiser title to Noble, since in a way he's been on a little 'streak'.
DangerousDamon Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 7. WWE Tag Titles Match: Paul London & Billy Kidman defeated Johnny Stamboli & Nunzio in 7 minutes, 18 seconds when London used the Firebird Splash on Nunzio for the win. That's the 450 right?
iliketurtles Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 I think Hayabusa used to do it...it's like a corkscrew I think.
Markme123 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Firebird Splash is indeed the Japanese name for a 450 splash. HartFan86 is thinking of the Stardust Press AKA Phoenix Splash (450 splash starting in the moonsault position)
Guest TigerDriver91 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Joshi wrestler Ai Fujita also used the Firebird Splash as her finisher.
Guest Choken One Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 They gave taker a 15 minute handicap match? Gazooks.

Heck, I think Chavo & Knoble would be damned good challengers for Kidman & London. -=Mike
Use Your Illusion Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 A tag team triangle feud between the two teams Mike mentioned and RVD & Rey would be unreal. Show sounds really good, actually. Good to see that the SD! boys still pull out their working boots after the long flight over. UYI

WWE feels that teaming Rey with Spike is the moneymaker team.
