Tribute Time:Instead of a Yin and Yang column this week, I decided to try my Canadian hand at that which CRZ does so well - re-cap a show. Recent events have gotten me thinking how much I take for granted the weekly recaps which he does and we enjoy so much. So instead of writing a simple "thankyou" column dripping with mush that would have you wondering about my sexual orientation, I'm gonna be a REAL MAN'S MAN and attempt to gain "Maximum Respect" (thanks Ali G) for the man by walking a mile in his shoes.

It is about 5 after 11 right now, No Mercy has just ended, and if you didn't see it, stop reading this and buy the replay RIGHT NOW. I'm very curious to find out how long this will take. Let's find out.....NEXT!!!

Opening Montage "A struggle for power. Three men, fighting for the gold. The despeate man, grasping on to his identity which slowly slips away from his once-iron grip. The vengeful man, trying to re-gain the taste of power, momentarily savoured, and abruptly lost. And the confident man, ready for battle - at risk of losing nothing, and the opportunity to gain it all. Three men, with varying motivations, yet all sharing a common goal. One man will emerge triumphant, while sparing his opponents.....NO MERCY." Austin has a cool skull ring, Angle develops a facial tick, and RVD...just smiles. All three men are shown with the WWF Title Belt on their shoulders.....interesting. But screw all this - I bought this Pay Per View for TEST VS. KANE! Why are you laughing?

FIREWORKS O' PLENTY and CLICK CLICK BOOM - We are LIVE from St. Louis, Missorui! The fans at WWF New York are geeked, and according to JR "Championships WILL be decided, and the course of sports-entertain may change for a long time to come!". He ALWAYS says that! Will he be right tonight? Let's get this party started QUICKLY....right?

WCW Tag Team Championship: The Hardy Boyz (w/Lita) vs. Lance Storm (w/ Ivory) and The Hurricane (w/ Mighty Molly)

JR and Heyman immediately tell us that Mick Foley has made the main event a no-disqualification match, and start speculating if RVD and Austin will be on the same page. Guys, that match is over two hours away! Meanwhile, Ivory is falling out of her top, God love 'er. JR also insists on calling The Hurricane "Hurricane Helms". Hey, the Hurricane is from Carolina - does that make him a Carolina Hurricane? Enough of this babble - lets wrassle!!

Jeff, whose hair is two shades of blue tonight, and The Hurricane, who Hurri-poses immediately, will start. Lock up, Hurri-go-behind by Hurricane, go-behind by Jeff, Hurri-snapmare into a Hurri-headlock. Jeff stands, pushes Hurricane into the ropes, Hurri-shoulder block. HURRI-POSE! Off the ropes, jumps over Jeff, off the ropes again, hiptoss reversed, Hurri-knee, Hurri-leg on the head, Hurri-backward flip - HURRI-POSE! Clothesline by Jeff MISSES, but his hiptoss doesn't. Tag to Matt. Right by Jeff, right by Matt - double wheelbarrow suplex! 1, 2, of course not - it's too early! Matt with a right, right, Irish whip reversed, Matt jumps over Helms but right into a standing fireman's carry by Storm, who blind tagged, into a neckbreaker by Hurricane - cool. Cover by Storm - 1, 2, nope. JR says the ref's count is "nice and brisk". Storm rubs Matt's face into the mat to improve his looks, and goes to tag Hurricane, but he wants the Wonder Twin Tag! Storm reluctantly obliges. Double Irish whip, cominbed-clothesline MISSES, double clothesline by Matt. Tag to Jeff, right to Helms, right to Storm, Irish whip on Helms - what was that, a standing body press? Ok, then. Jawbreaker on Storm. Take-down on Helms, Leg To Groin Drop NO, Hurricane pushes Jeff against the ropes, where Ivory dutifully grabs his leg so Storm can come over and whack him, then push him to the outside, then follow him then hold him up. HURRI-POSE! Off the ropes, baseball slide NO, clothesline by Matt! Storm drops Jeff, which was dumb, 'cause now Matt can baseball slide HIM to the ground. Molly is in to help Hurricane up and put on his cape - DOUBLE HURRI-POSE! Both Hardyz and Storm are on the ouside, which allows Helms to ascend to the top rope and execute a Hurri-Flying Body Press on all three guys (he never touched Storm, but Storm goes down anyway). A Double Feature proves it while Hurricane rolls Jeff into the ring and beats on him a bit. Tag to Storm, Irish whip, 7 Foot High Dropkick by Storm. Him and Hardcore Holly just HAVE to become a tag team. They could call themsevles "The Hard Ways"! Ahh, never mind. Cover, 1, 2, no. Head into the turnbuckle, right, right, tag to Hurricane. Suplex by Storm into a sidewalk-slam by Hurricane - cool. Cover, 1, 2, no. Backbreaker by Hurricane. Cover, 1, 2, no. JR declares the challengers "ahead on points". Please don't compare wrestling to figure skating - not that there's anything wrong with that. Hurricane chokes out Jeff on the second rope, allowing Molly to come over and give him a little slap, which Ivory loved. Tag to Storm, kick to the gut, head into the turnbuckle, knee to gut, another, Irish whip into the other turnbuckle but Jeff climbs up the ropes and executes that twisting plancha move which I a) don't know that name of, and b) can't figure out how the reciever is supposed to take it properly. Molly WINCES! Lita CHEERS! Ref counts....1.....2.....3.....4....5....Storm tags Hurricane and stops Jeff from tagging long enough so Jeff can do his inverted-somersault-kick-to-the-chest-thing (JR: Reverse Mule Kick), and get the HOT TAG to Matt, who goes right to the top rope for a flying clothesline! Right to Storm, falling clothesline on Storm, neckbreaker to Hurricane, cover, 1, 2, saved by Storm. Right, right, Jeff decides to come in, double-Irish whip into the turnbuckle, Poetry In Motion. Matt whips Hurricane into the corner, Poetry In Motion MISSES 'cause Hurricane charges forward and Oklahoma Roll (according to JR)'s up Matt while he's still kneeling on all fours! 1, 2, NO! Great spot. Two rights by Hurricane, Irish whip into the corner reversed, body slam by Matt, who points to the second rope and says "Now we're goin' HERE!", followed by "AAAAAAA!" and a leg drop. Cover, 1, 2, no! Twist of Fate attempt, but Storm tries a clothesline but misses, Matt tries one of his own but misses - Double Super Kick! Cover, 1, 2, save by Jeff! Storm rolls out of the ring and APPEARS TO TAKE A RUNNING PUNCH AT A FAN, but the camera cuts before we can see where and on who it landed. Da hell was THAT?! Storm rolls back in, right to Jeff, another, but Jeff takes a seat on the rop rope, hooks his legs under Storm's arms, and dumps them to the outside while hanging on to the top rope himself - cool! Hurricane holds Matt for Molly to hit, but Lita comes running in and spears her before she can get there - Back Suplex by Matt - Ivory in to toss Lita outside. Jeff doesn't like that, so he giver her the Legs To Groin Drop. I wonder how effective that was? Storm grabs Jeff and puts him into the Half Crab, but Lita's on the top rope for a Litacanrana. What a cheater!! HURRI-POSE, but Helms turns right into a Twist of Fate. Swanton Bomb by Jeff, goodnight Gracie, Cover, 1, 2, 3! Champs retain. (7:42) for the match, (about 55:00) for me to do this ONE MATCH. I might be here awhile.

Meanwhile, RVD arrives at the building, and finds Aliiance Commisioner William Regal waiting for him. "Rob Van Dam" RVD says "Yeah" and gives him a look which says "Of COURSE!" "Now, I assume the first thing you're going to do is to go find Stone Cold Steve Austin and apologize for frog-splashing him last Thursday night on SmackDown! "Noooo..." "Let me just hope that last Thursday you had a temporary lapse in sanity (ha!), and please...let me assume that in no way, shape, or form, that you're having anything to do with Vince McMahon. "Look, I'm not on Vince's side. I'm only looking out for #1, and that me...Points...To...Self." (yes, this is CRZ's nickname for him, but it's damn funny, so I'm borrowing it!). RVD goes to leave but Regal holds his arm "Don't do anything silly, and anything that you might regret later." "Ok...." HA!

Meanwhile, a limo pulls up - who's in it? Why, Mr. McMahon, and Michael Cole is there! "Mr. McMahon! Mr. McMahon! I mean, where've you been, I mean it's it's it's it's a huge night!" "Really?" "I mean, why'd you come back" "Help me with my jacket, would you please? Nice lining, huh?" "Uh, yes, very nice" Cole helps him don the jacket, but not before dropping it once - Vince seems not to notice. "Anyhow, y'know, R-R-R-Rob-Rob Van Dam just arrived!" "Well good, great, great, I'm glad to hear that. Let me just say that, uh, you have a lot of, uh, questions?" "Uh-huh, a lot" "Um..your questions will be answered before the night is over one way...or another. But I'm here tonight - I'm here tonight to make a difference. I'm here tonight to make....an impact." Vince goes to leave, then turns back. "And the next time you drop my jacket...I'm gonna drop YOU." Cole looks scared/confused.

The God Of Whitby Ontario Canada Test vs. Kane

WOW, the MAIN EVENT is the SECOND MATCH ON THE CARD? COOL! .....Why are you laughing? Flashback shows us Test giving the Undertaker the Whitby Boot Of Death while 'Taker had Booker T in the Last Ride, allowing Booker to pin the 'Taker. JR reminds us that on October 5, 1997, Kane made his debut in the WWF in this very arena while referee Nick Patrick whispers something to Test. Kane slides in and LET'S GO! Right by Test, right by Kane, right by Test, right by Kane, another, another, another. JR says this will be a "straight out, smashmouth, in-your-face-matchup between these two super-heavyweights". Do you know why? Becuase TEST WANTS IT THAT WAY. Irish whip by Kane, clothesline misses, elbow does not. Kane drops an elbow. Clothesline into the corner, Irish whip into the other corner, followed by another clothesline, ANOTHER corner Irish whip, ANOTHER clothesline. How un-original! Test staggers out of the corner - HUGE right by Kane send Test flying backwards to mat like he'd just been cold-cocked by a 325-pound man. Test staggers to his feet and backs into the corner, then kicks Kane in the gut, reverses him into the corner, right, elbow, Irish whip into the other corner, Test charges but Kane power-slams. 1, 2, no way are you pinning Test THAT easily. In fact, no way are you pinning Test AT ALL! Right by Kane, Irish whip, back body drop NO, Test kicks him in the face. Test charges but Kane clotheslines him on the top rope. Boot to the gut, GORILLA PRESS, tossing Test over the top rope to the outside like a sack of potatoes. Hey, NOBODY does that to TEST! Kane follows to the outside, right, right, right. Nick Patrick decides to tell Kane to stop - Kane doesn't like that and storms toward him, allowing Test to grab the ring bell and clock Kane into next week. Patrick didn't see a thing, and NEITHER DID I!! Test rolls Kane back in - right hand drops 'em. Test kneels down and follows with 6 more. Patrick warns Test about the closed fist - HA! Test throws Kane into the corner, right, elbow, right, elbow (Test NEVER does the same move twice! TEST IS GOD) Kane drops, kick, kick, kick (so much for the "same move twice" theory...but TEST IS STLL GOD). Test chokes Kane with his foot while the Double Feature shows us the ring bell shot again - I STILL didn't see a ring bell! VERTICAL SUPLEX by Test, who HOLD KANE UP FOR TWO FULL SECONDS before dropping him. WOW! Cover, 1, 2, no (damn!). Test is bleeding from the mouth - SEND KANE TO WWF METAL IMMEDIATELY FOLLLOWING THIS MATCH!! HUGE right by Kane, another, another, but a knee to the stomach stops all that. Irish whip reversed into a short clotheline by Kane. Elbow drop MISSES - Test to the second rope - FLYING ELBOW! Cover, 1, 2, no (crap!) Right by Test, another, another, right by Kane, right by Test, right by Kane, who rams Test's head into the turnbuckle. Boot to the gut, right, Irish whip to the corner reversed, Sidewalk Slam by Test! Test to the top rope - Flying Elbow MISSES! Clothesline by Test misses, Test goes for back body drop, which Kane turns into a neckbreaker (!). Test's right BLOCKED, Kane's ISN'T. Repeat last sentence. Another right, Irish whip, big boot to the face (GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT!). Irish whip to the corner, clothesline to the back of Test's head, but TEST DOESN"T GO DOWN! Back suplex by Kane! Cover, 1, 2, no (whew!). Irish whip reversed into a knee to the gut, Pumphandle Slam NO, Kane with an elbow, and another - Sidewalk Slam. Cover by Kane, 1, 2, no (whew!). Clothesline sends Test over the top rope to the outside. Kane follows, body slam NO, Test pushes him face-first into the ring pole. Kane turns around - WHITBY BOOT OF DEATH!! Wow, he caught Kane right under the chin with that one. Test rolls him in - immediate cover because TEST IS SMART!! 1, 2, NO!! (SHIT!) Test pounds the mat in frustration and yells "3!!!" at Patrick while holding up the appropriate amount of fingers. Test measuring Kane - Whitby Boot of Death MISSES, OH NO KANE WITH THE CHOKESLAM!!! Both men lay there for a few seconds, then Kane rolls over and makes the cover. 1....2....NOOO!!!! TEST KICKED OUT!! (YES!) Now KANE is frustrated, and holds his head and pounds the mat to show it, since it's pretty hard to read his facial expressions. Right by Test, right by Kane, Test, Kane, Test, TEST, TEST!!!! Irish whip reversed, power slam by Kane! Kane going to the top rope - Flying Clothesline BUT TEST DUCKS! Boot to the gut, PUMPHANDLE SLAM!!! WOW!! Cover! 1.....2.....NOOO! (SHIIIIT!!) Test is in UTTER SHOCK, and I'm pounding the couch in frustration!!!! Test to the top rope, RANDY SAVAGE ELBOW!!! Cover! 1....2...NOOOOO!! Test is FURIOUS, shown by him POUNDING the mat and yelling "THREE!!!!!" Test up, hands on his hips, utterly frustrated. Frustration soon turns to anger, and Test goes outside and gets a chair! Test heads toward Kane, but Kane with a STANDING DROP KICK, driving the chair into Test's face! WOW, that was DAMN impressive. Now Kane with the chair, but Patrick grabs it on the upswing becuase THE CHAIR IS ILLEGAL! Kane don't like that, so he grabs Patrick by the throat! Test charges, but Kane grabs HIM by the throat! Kane throws Patrick away, but Test with a HUGE kick to the groin - WHITBY BOOT OF DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cover, 1, 2, 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10:08) TEST PINNED KANE!!!!!!!!!! TEST PINNED KANE!!!!!!!!!! TEST PINNED KANE!!!!!!!!!! TEST!!!!! TEST!!!!! TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YER DAMN SKIPPY, TEST!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the BEST MOMENT IN WHITBY ONTARIO HISTORY, and the streets of Whitby (but a 5 minute drive from my house) are no doubt JAMMED with people celebrating!!!! JR calls Patrick "corrupt"! WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?! Test leaves, tired, bleeding...TRIUMPHANT. Kane sits up, and sees Patrick still holding his throat. Patrick starts to leave, but Kane stops him - grabs Patrick by the throat, and choke-slams him. What a SORE LOSER! Kane goes to leave, stops, comes back, and choke-slams Patrick AGAIN!! WHAT A SOUR-PUSS! Kane leaves the ring take a few steps...stops....goes BACK to the ring again, and POWER-BOMBS Patrick, who was JUST DOING HIS JOB, you PATHETIC, SORE-ASS LOSER!!! Kane makes the corners explode and flame and FINALLY leaves, no doubt to CRY IN THE BACK LIKE A BABY. Best match EVER.

....I didn't show too much bias in recapping that match, did I? Oh, good.

Meanwhile, The Coach knocks on the dressing room door of Steve Austin, which is answered by Debra. "What do you want, Coach?" "Well, I was hoping to get a word with Stone Cold, if that's possible" "I don't think Stone Cold wants to talk to you, but wait a minute, let me check." Debra looks behind the door. "Hey! Do you wanna talk to Coach?" We hear Stone Cold's voice: "No, i DON'T wanna talk to Coach. But you can tell him that I think Kurt Angle is a sorry sunovabitch!" Debra repats verbatim, changing "sunovabitch" to "S.O.B". "Debra!" "What?" "While you got 'em out there, tell 'em RVD is a big piece of trash!" Debra does so, while Coach does a very poor job of not laughing - not that I blame him. "Debra! While yer at it, tell him as far as Mr. McMahon's concerned, he's an even bigger piece of trash than RVD, and there ain't NO WAY - there ain't NO WAY I'm losing my WWF Title tonight!" Debra obeys, then says "Anything else?" "Tell 'em thankyou, and to get his ass outta here". She does no, substituting "butt" for ass. She's sooo polite.

Meanwhile, Stacy Keibler is walking around in a frilly black robe, and runs into Jeff Hardy. "Hi Matt! Ummmm...." "Hi...Stacy..." Matt looks her up and down. Attaboy. "You wouldn't happen to know where the Dudleys ro......it doesn't matter anyway, you're a Hardy, so, uh....but uh, I uh, I was wondering....you know, you're a guy, and I was wondering what you think of my lingerie." Stacy turns her back to us and opens the robe to show Matt the goods. Matt stares, as he should "It's uh....good." He snaps his head up to look at her face. "It's uh...REAL good. You look great." "K...thanks" Stacy walks away smiling. As Matt's eyes follow her, Lita shows up. "Hey Matt." "HEY!" "What are you looking at?" "Uhhh.....nothing! Uh, I just wanna tell you that you did great tonight, and you look great, as always." "Thankyou!" Matt gets a kiss and a hug, while making a face of man who just got away with something baaaad.

Lingerie Match: Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler.

We're told the ladies will compete as normal, but will be in lingerie, as we see all the events which led up to this moment. Does it really matter how we got here? We're here, so let's go! Stacy comes out with a cigar......is Clinton in the audience? Stacy take off her robe to reveal....ANOTHER ROBE! Torrie comes out in a red night-shirt and stocking. Wow. Jack Doan apparantly "won the referre's lottery" to get assigned this match. Torrie takes off her shirt, and I'm not telling you what she's got on because I PAID to see it, and YOU DIDN'T!! Sudden clothesline by Stacy misses, boot to the gut by Torrie, big slap, Irish whip, but Stacy does a groovy cartwheel to counter! Another Irish whip, another cartwheel. Stacy smacks her ass - attagirl. Starts to take off her robe, but Stacy clotheslines her. JR: "Torrie's wrestling in her bare feet tonight. I noticed her feet - how sick am I?" HAAA! Stacy's in the corner, Torrie charges but Stacy raises her foot, and THEN takes off her robe, revealing an outfit which makes her look like something that rhymes with "Matrix". Big slap by Stacy, who pulls out a cat-o-nine-tails from betwixt her mammaries, and proceds to spank Torrie. I'm not one for bondage - are you? Don't answer that. Jack Doan stops her, so HE gets spanked. Torrie takes down Stacy and they proceed to roll all over the ring, steamrolling Doan in the process, the lucky jerk. Heyman: "I wanna be Jack Doan when I grow up!" Head into the turnbuckle by Stacy, who then chokes Torrie with her foot while JR admires her 'flexability'. Irish whip, sunset flip by Torrie, 1, 2, Stacy reverses, 1, 2, Torrie reverses, 1, 2, Stacy reverses, 1, 2, Torrie reverses, 1, and that's all. Now I'm REALLY aroused. Stacy whipped into the corner, Torrie charges, but Stacy raises her legs and chokes Torrie with her thighs, much to the delight of everybody. Stacy to the second rope - shakes her booty - picks Torrie up, but Torrie slaps her and snapmares her off the second rope to the canvas. Cover, 1, 2, no. Irish whip by Stacy, clothesline misses, Tajiri Springboard Elbow by Torrie. Torrie pins in a very erotic manner - 1, 2, 3! (3:05) Torrie adds a slap to Stacy's buttocks to boot.

Meanwhile, Cole tells Kurt Angle about Mr. McMahon supporting RVD on SmackDown and how he's vowed to make an impact tonight. "Well Michael, we all know Mr. McMahon marches to the beat of a different drum. And obviously, he has his eyes set on Rob Van Dam for SOME good reason. But tonight, I've got my eyes on Stone Cold Steve Austin AND Rob Van Dam, because tonight.." "Kurt!" Mr McMahon enters stage right. "How you doin' pal? Good to see you." He offers his hand, which Kurt slowwwwly takes. "I just wanted to drop by and, uh.....wish you the BEST of luck tonight!" "Well thanks Mr. McMahon. But quite frankly, I don't think I'll be needing luck. Because tonight, I'm gonna go out there and win the World Wrestling Federation championship one more time! Oh, it's true! It's....oh HELL YEAH, it's true! As a matter of fact, it's VAN DAMN true!" Kurt leaves, while the crowd...doesn't do much at all.

Meanwhile, Christian's with Lillian Garcia. Lillian starts talking about event leading up to tonight, but Christian interrupts. "Remember when Edge and I were a tag team? And everybody was saying 'How GREAT is Edge? He's gonna be a huge star someday!'. Well the thing that people fail to realize is no matter how good you are.." Christian points at his Intercontinental belt "there's always somebody just a little bit better. And if anybody knows that, it's the people right here in St. Louis. Just 3 years ago, Mark McGwire set the home record, but now look at him - beaten, broken-down, and his precious record shattered....by a better man. And just last week, the Cardinals were beaten...by a better team. And tonight, I'm gonna prove to Edge and the entire world, that Christian...is just plain better."

Ladder Match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship and The Battle Of Orangeville, Ontario II: - Edge vs. Christian

I can't WAIT for this. Christian entered first because Stone Cold said so, but at least Christian is WEARING his belt like a good champion should. HEY, a new graphic tells us this is for the I-C title - I like it! Edge comes out, doffs his jacket and glasses at the top of the ramp, and looks really pissed. Christian meets him half-way down the ramp, they start trading punches, and there's the green flag to get this one underway!

Edge wins the punch war, and lands 3 more big rights, sending Christian to the floor. Head rammed into the stairs by Edge, who then throws Christian into the protective barrier. Big right, rolls him into the ring, but Christian catches him with a boot coming in. Another boot, right, Irish whip, reversed by Edge, back body drop. Edge grabs Chrsitian's hair and rams it into the canvas. A lot. Kick to the back of the leg, and Christian does a COMPLETE 360 before he falls - and there's ANOTHER one. Right hand, Irish whip, Christian grabs the ropes and slides outside for a breather. Edge grabs him and hauls him back up by the hair, but Christian clothesline him on the top rope. Christian grabs the ladder, and is sliding it in, but Edge dropkicks it, sending the end of the ladder into Chrsitian's gut! Edge follows him out and throws him OVER the protective barrier into the crowd. Trading punches until Edge throws him into the hockey boards. Rights by Christian, he charges, but Edge back body drops him back over the barrier. Edge leans the ladder up against the ring and rams Christian's head into it, then throws Christian down like a sack o' potatoes. Monkey flip into the ladder! Edge grabs a SECOND ladder and lies it on the stairs and the barrier. Eye rake by Christian - flapjack onto the ladder! OW! Christian pulls Edge up so both men are standing on the ladder, until a series of Edge rights makes Chrsitian crotch himself REALLY HARD onto one of the rungs!! Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW!!!! That's just WRONG! Double Feature shows...yep, he really hit hard. Hope Mrs. Christian didn't see that. JR says "There will be no Uncle Edge". HA! Edge rolls Christian (who's holding his nuts) into the ring. Edge pounds Christian into the corner, then goes out and gets a ladder, but as he's shoving it in, Chrsitian jumps on the other end, sending Edge's end flying into his face!! Double Feature of THAT, too. Christian sets up the ladder and starts to climb! Edge pushes the ladder down, but Christian lands on his feet and clotheslines Edge! Nice! Christian wields the ladder like a lance, and rams Edge into the corner with it! And again! Rams Edge's head on the ladder - twice. While Edge is trapped in the corner by the ladder, Chrsitian goes under the ring and comes out with....a steel chair. This is not a chairs match!! Chrsitian climbs to the top rope, but Edge elbows him in the stomach, and SNAPMARES HIM RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE LADDER!! Holy Christmas in July!!! Edge leans the ladder diagonally on the rop rope, puts Christian ON HIS SHOULDERS, and shoves him off, causing Christian to CROTCH THE ENTIRE LADDER!!! Holy shit - If Chrstian is able to walk tomorrow, I'll be amazed. Edge slowly picks up the ladder and leans it between the second and third ropes in the corner. Irish whip, but Christian reverses, sending Edge crashing stomach-first into the ladder!! Stomps by Christian. Edge is still under the ladder, which is still between the ropes. Christian MONKEY FLIPS EDGE'S FACE INTO THE LADDER!! Both men are down for quite a while, and I don't blame them. Chrstian goes and drags ANOTHER ladder into the ring, sets it up but falls on his butt because he's so tired and hurt. Finally he starts to climb again, but Edge sets up his ladder and starts climbing right beside him. A few rights by Edge - EDGE-O-MATIC OFF THE LADDERS!!! Wow. Now Edge very slowly starts to climb - Chrsitian finally gets up and starts to climb the other one - rights by Chrsitian - SLOP DROP OFF THE LADDERS!! Man oh man oh man, they're destroying each other. Christian slides out of the ring, goes underneath, and gets two more chairs - barely. Christian can barely stand, and if he's selling, it's a damn good job. Christian puts a chair underneath Edge's head for the One-Man Con-Chair-to, but Edge pushes the other chair back into Christian's face!! Edge brings a THIRD ladder in, sets up the two chairs, and lies the ladder horizontally on them. What's he gonna do NOW?!? Rams Christian's head into the ladder - a few rights, then he lies Christian on the ladder. Edge is going to the top rope - ohhh my - SPLASH ONTO CHRISTIAN ON THE LADDER!!!! That's it, Chrsitian's dead, and Edge ain't far behind. Edge very slowly starts climbing a ladder, but Christian picks up the ladder he was splashed on and rams it into Edge like a battering ram, sending Edge crashing to the canvas. Christian needs the ladder to help him stand, and he's STILL holding his nuts from earlier - not that I blame 'em. He managed to set the third ladder up perpendicular to the other two, then starts climbing one of the original two ladders. Edge hauls himself to the top rope - Christian reaching for the belt - SPEAR OFF THE TOP ROPE!! Christian is spasming on the canvas, and the look on his face shows he's somewhere in next week. Slowly, both men start to climb the perpendicular ladder - trading dramatic punches - the ladder tips, and BOTH MEN GO FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE ONTO THE FLOOR!!! The entire BUILDING chants "Holy Shit". Christian manages to haul himself back into the ring first, He crawls to the ladder, and is barely able to start climbing. He slips on the second rung and starts again - how the hell is he even standing? He's literally hauling himself up the ladder with nothing but his arms now. Christian using both ladders to climb now - Edge finally gets back in the ring with a chair, and RAMS IT RIGHT INTO CHRISTIAN's CROTCH. And SOMEhow, Christian is still standing on the ladder! Holy fucking shit. Edge somehow climbing the ladder with both chairs - laying Christian atop both ladders - putting one chair underneath his head - ohhh boy - Edge standing on the third ladder, an evil look on his face - ONE-MAN CON-CHAIR-TO!! Christian falls to the ground, a dead weight. Edge reaches up, grabs the belt, and is the NEW Intercontinental Champion to a standing ovation from the crowd (22:14). Edge stands upon both ladders and holds up the belt with one hand, yelling, while Christian just lays there, dead. JR: "These guys are gonna be sore for weeks!". Ain't THAT the truth. Fantastic match - I just hope they're both ok.

JR and Paul tell us that Survivor Series will be in North Carolina in the Greensboro Coloseum on November 18 - seats still available!

Meanwhile, at WWF New York, Spike Dudley does a tequila shot and sips a beer while we see a replay of him go flying over a tope rope through a table, thanks to his half-brothers. Spike proclaims that he "feels like a hundred bucks" and is looking forward to Big Show and Tajiri laying a beating on the Dudleys. Heyman starts to ask him about Molly when a hot babe walks up and leans on 'em. "Hi Spike." "I'm sorry Paul...Molly who?" Spike points at her and says "You're a Sagitarius, aren't you?" You go, Spike.

WWF Tag Team Championship: The Dudley Boyz vs. The Big Show and Tajiri

Champs enter first to make CRZ mad. Tajiri and Buh Buh will start us off. Aaaaaaand....GO!

D-Von's barking at Tajiri - Tajiri tries to kick him but misses, and Buh Buh attacks from behind. A few rights, big chop, Irish whip, clothesline misses, Tajiri with a kick to Buh Buh's left side, a kick to Buh Buh's right side, then Buh Buh stops him with a knee. Rammed head-first into the second turnbuckle - tag to D-Von. Irish whip - double shoulder block. Stomps by D-Von. Right, right, right MISSES, Deadly Back Kick by Tajiri! Standing Senton! Cover, 1, 2, don't be silly. Front facelock, yelling something in Japanese while pointing at the Show - Tajiri makes the tag. Big elbow, Big right, Andre The Giant butt to the stomach in the corner - and another - Show shaking it Stacy Keibler style (yikes!) before adding one more. Heyman proclaims "that's a whole lot of ass comin' at ya", and he ain't lyin'. Not that I double-checked. Thumb to the eye by D-Von! Double Irish whip - double clothesline by show. Big body slam on Buh Buh while he yells "NO!", Big body slam on D-Von. Both Dudleys on the outside. Tajiri off the ropes, SOMERSAULT PLANCHA (I think that's right) on both Dudleys, and Tajiri NEVER TOUCHED THE TOP ROPE - wow. Tajiri celebrates, then throws D-Von in. Big sidewalk slam by Big Show (yes, I know I'm calling everything Big Show does "big", but....it IS big!) Cover, 1, 2, no! Tag to Tajiri, nasty kick to the ribs drops D-Von. Irish whip but Buh Buh blind tags, Tajiri runs over D-von right into a Buh Buh Bomb. Buh Buh says "LOOK AT HIM NOW!" while staring angrily at him. Buh Buh RULES.

Buh Buh goes and yells at Heyman that they did it for the Alliance, and tells us all that thou shalt not mess with The Dudleys. Buh Buh RULES.

Meanwhile, Rhyno's walking backstage after some successful interference, and runs into Regal. "Bloody good job, Rhyno, that's the kind of inititive we nee more of in the Alliance!" "Y'know why I did that?" "Why?" "Becuase I'm tired of people looking and treatin' the Alliance like it's some kind of joke. I'm gonna change the way people look at the Alliance...even if I have to do it single-handedly." Regal nods his approval and says "Bravo".

Meanwhile, Shane, Booker and Test celebrate Test's victory over Kane. Last I heard, there were 5,500 people in the streets of Whitby, singing songs of joy. Shane says it's all about respect, and if Booker can "take out the Taker", the entire Alliance will have respect. Test also changes the name from the Spinnerooni (spinn-er-oo-nee) to the Spinneroini (spinn-er-oon-eye)! So shalt Test says it, so shalt it be done! Booker says "Tonight, there will be one....dead...sucka...walkin', now can you dig THAT?!"

It's now 4:05, and I still have three matches left to do. And CRZ does TWO two-hour shows EVERY WEEK. Wowzers.

Heyman reminds us that the No Mercy theme is "Click Click Boom" by Saliva. Thanks Paul.
