Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2004 The Coach comes out, makes fun of Albuquerque, and says he will be annoucing tonight. Val Venis def. Chuck Palumbo via The Money Shot. Chuck got major heat just by posing. The opening match was hot with the crowd, surprising to me considering who was in it. Chuck is gimmickless now, what was the point of moving him from SD and the FBI? Coach introduces Eric Bischoff who demands Regal to come out. Bischoff goes off on Regal about his business with Eugene and that Regal will be punished tonight by facing...KANE! Kane def. William Regal via The Chokeslam, I still can't believe how over Regal is as a face. The Hurricane def. Tomko. Tyson has actually improved a bit, he's not sloppy as he was when he first came. He still comes out to Christian's theme, ugh. Steven Richards def. Rodney Mack with the Stevie T. Stevie comes out normally. The crowd shitted on this match with massive boring chants. I felt so bad for Stevie, but after the match, he jumped over the barrier and ran through the crowd to celebrate. The Coach plugs SummerSlam and the RAW Diva crap. He announces Stacy will be the guest announcer for the next match. Stacy makes her way to the ring. Coach changes his mind, goes off on her and then makes fun off her. Stacy insults back and hits Coach in the balls just like Chyna used to do once he turned his back. Stacy leaves and Coach takes awhile to get up and go on with the show. Victoria def. Molly with the Widow's Peak. Molly is still doing the wig shit, ugh. Eugene def. HHH (Same exact finish from HHH / HBK's SummerSlam 02 match). Batista came out to interfere, but it backfired. After the match, HHH and Batista beat the shit out of Eugene. Regal came out to make the save, but he got the shit beat out of him too. Pedigrees for both guys and then HHH did the falling knee onto Regal's crotch just to add insult to injury. World Tag Titles Match The New Quebecers def. Tajiri & Rhyno after Sylvian pinned Rhyno with a school boy after Rhyno Gored the wrong guy (Conway). Triple Threat Intercontinental Title Match Edge def. Chris Jericho & Batista, all three men were really over with the crowd. World Heavyweight Title Match Orton busted out with some weird ass moves and submissions I'd never see him do before. It was really interesting to watch as Randy was actually going toe to toe with Benoit on a technical wrestling aspect. Ref bump happened and he goes outside causing HHH and Batista to come out and jump Benoit. Eugene and Regal made the save. Benoit places HHH in the Sharpshooter. Orton connects with the RKO. HHH throws the ref back in. Benoit kicks out! Randy goes for a 2nd RKO, Benoit counters with the Crippler Crossface and Orton taps the fuck out. Benoit poses with Regal and Eugene and another show is over with. I really enjoyed the match, Orton has come a long way and he flowed really well in the ring against Benoit, I can't wait for SummerSlam. Val Venis, Chuck Palumbo, Rhyno, Victoria, and Chris Jericho signed before the show. Missing in action: Rosey, Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, Lita, Maven, and A-Train.

Ric Flair is excused from house shows to continue promotion on his book (this weekend, he's overseas, I believe.) ...and hasn't Matt decided on getting the MCL surgery yet? I don't recall him being in the battle royal last Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that run into the crowd by Richards was preplanned or not. If not than he's got guts to do something like that. Deon, I'm assuming it was you at the houseshow. What new moves and submissions did Orton use? Thanks for any response. A-Train's out with an injury btw so that's why he wasn't there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Put the title on Regal. I wouldn't mind seeing a Regal/Benoit match for the world title. Regal winning would be good, as would Benoit winning. Slightly better than Orton, if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Has Regal recently put on a bunch of pounds? He had that awful-looking jobber-esque singlet on during the battle royal. What's the deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 2, 2004 I thought he dropped a lot of weight from whatever disease he had that kept him out of the ring, so they need for the singlet is a mystery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace309 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Wild conjecture. I figured they were just going to play up the carnival aspect of Regal's past... didn't he recently write a book about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
