FINALLY they have a new Cruiserweight Belt! It looks pretty cool, too!

 

...AND Chavo busted out an EMERALD FUSION~! NICE!

Since someone has to ask, what exactly is an EMERALD FUSION~?

 

And I like Jericho, but I hope he leaves too.  He should do, like, an RF Shoot or go to WWA and do a shoot there or something.  That would be awesome.

 

(Next idea was stolen from Risk, except he used Austin instead of Jericho)

 

Or in their last match before he leaves, HHH gives him the pedigree, which Jericho no-sells then grabs a mic and says:

 

"I respect you, bookerman!"

 

Then leaves.

 

That would be the bombshit.

You're only looking at it one way, though.  Why can't you say that Mark Henry (as much as I hate him) is in a feud with a main eventer?  By using your logic, you might as well say Angle and HHH have both been depushed and are stuck with Maven and Test in "mid-card purgatory", although I like that term.

Good point, but I don't think Jericho is a main eventer anymore after this, at least for a little while.  Henry and Maven will be helped somewhat, while HHH will just squash Test.  

 

Not that Test being squashed will upset me.

It should be in No Mercy or Wrestlemania 2000, called the "Emerald Driver" or something like that.  I'll try to describe it:

 

Start out like the British Bulldog powerslam (you know, guy carried on the shoulder as opposed to regular body-slam position) with your opponent over your right shoulder.  Stand in one spot.  Hold him in place w/ your left arm, cradle his head down along your right side w/ your right arm, then drop straight down so your opponent lands upper-back/shoulders first.

It's kinda like the Dreamer Driver... or maybe it's exactly that. Dace would probably know.

A really cool move that I've seen Misawa pull off a few times. It's basically as described above in the other posts, but in No Mercy N64 it IS called "Emerald Fusion" and is listed under the Finishers category..

I love how when HHH shoved the ref into the ropes(which is technically cheating)the announcers sold it like he's so intelligent for doing so. When if any heel had done that, Cole wouldn't have shut up about it.

I KNOW!!!! That drives me crazy. I started watching the rest of the Smackdown matches on mute and I enjoyed them very much. I'm going to do it everytime now. Now if only, Michael Cole would shut up when Kurt's doing a promo. Gosh, that isn't a wig?

Anyone else notice the Undisputed Title still had the "WWF" logo on it?

 

Also, I didn't like Storm jobbing to Triple H, Which wasn't totally clean by pushing the Ref into the ropes. However, the part with Triple H taking the beating most of the match and then catching Storm with a "mistake" finish, didn't bother me that much. Hell, guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels made careers out of working matches like that.
