WWF FULLY LOADED '99 (Fade up picture. Cue music. Bring up background audio. Cue announcer.) Tonight -- First blood, and the stakes are high: Steve Austin takes on The Undertaker. Tonight -- The Rock and HHH battle for the top contender's spot. Tonight -- X-Pac and the Road Dogg fight Billy Gunn and Chyna for the rights to the DX name. Tonight -- I mock television news headlines, and recap WWF Fully Loaded for CRZ.net. I may even try to sell lemonade. Yow! Before all that, I suppose I'm required to introduce myself. Most of the stuff I've read so far here at CRZ.net is from guys who are just debuting. So, there's a lot of Hi, I'm (whomever) -- which is cool. After all, introductions are nice. Being human, we don't have to do that animal kingdom thing and greet by sniffing asses. Hey, there's a joke in there somewhere. So, greetings. How ya doin'? I'm Xavier Doom. Webmaster of Xavier Doom's Slayground, a modest little site dedicated to macramé and wrestling. Well, okay, there's no macramé... yet. Of course, my real name isn't Xavier Doom. It's Mitch Scheiße. But Xavier Doom sounds so much more, I dunno, nouveau wrestling. In addition to running my own site, I also contribute to DDT Digest, a fabulous WCW fan page. Yeah, I know, it's not cool to follow WCW right now. But somebody's gotta do it. Besides, every time I do a report for Bill (the guy who runs DDT Digest), he sends me a piece of cherry pie by first class mail. (No such expectation of you, CRZ. My cholesterol is waaaaaaaay up there already.) So, on with the business at hand. Fully Loaded. Straight from Buffalo. Buffalo, home of underdog teams that almost win championships. So close, yet so far away. Hey, Buffalo -- it was a goal -- get over it. First order of business -- you may want to check out the Fully Loaded previews posted here at CRZ.net a few days ago. You may not. Don't listen to me! What the hell do I know? Alright... getting back to our main event tonight: Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker. Again. Austin must make this one count. If Austin wins, Vince McMahon has to remove his own brain with a rusty hunting knife! Oh, wait... I'm wrong. My notes say he has to stay off television. Oh, here we go... if Austin loses, he has to remove his own brain with a rusty hunting knife! Should be good GTV material, kids. So, it promises to be a decent card. Or does it? Crap. I don't know. Let's start this sucker rolling. Just gotta grab my remote, another bottle of Upper Canada Wheat beer and some pants. Because you never know when the guy's gonna come by to read the gas meter. OPENING MONTAGE -- A MARRIAGE OF PRETTY PICTURES AND DRAMATIC MUSIC Wubba-wubba-wubba-wubba... I love that WWF music. And the images are neat, too. Wonder if we'll find out who the Hummer driver is tonight? Oh, wait. Wrong company. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are your announcers. Jim's all hyped up on something. He says something just happened to Austin on Sunday Night Heat. They go to the tape -- The Undertaker attacks Austin backstage! Austin is thrown into concrete pillar and is busted open. Oh no! Our man Steve is hurt! How can he possibly win the first blood match? Backstage again -- Shane and Vince deny they put the Undertaker up to it. Uh-huh. You can hear an "asshole" chant rising from the arena. So, we're ready for our first match. Someone call out the Fink. Match 1: JEFF JARRETT (with Debra and her breasts) vs. EDGE (without breasts) ---Intercontinental title match--- In case you didn't know, Edge won the Intercontinental belt the night before in Toronto, his "hometown." Edge is actually from a place called Orangeville, which is just outside Toronto. Anyway, Jarrett is pissed off. Hey, Edge wasn't his scheduled opponent in the Toronto match, apparently. Jarrett says says "no puppies" for anyone. Well, nobody was getting them anyway, Jeff. Well, maybe Steve Austin. Anyway, I suppose I should call the action. The match is on. Some exchanges early, waistlocks, trips, headlocks, switches. Double-J takes a boot to the mush. Edge with a backslide. Edge whipped to the corner, he fakes a leap off the rope, and then catches Jarrett in a sunset flip. Kickout. Jarrett leaves the ring and grabs the belt. Back up, Edge tosses JJ into the post. JJ pulls Edge outside. JJ tosses Edge into the steps. Back in the ring, and JJ keeps up the offence. Edge ducks JJ, and gets a two count with a northern lights supplex. Edge to the corner, he springs over JJ and clutches his left leg after his landing. Edge is in trouble. Double-J works over the leg. Edge regains the advantage momentarily, but JJ kicks him through the ropes and into the post. Jarrett stomps down Edge. Choke on the ropes. JJ misses an elbow off the ropes, but locks on a sleeper.

Cover. Two. Edge gets the better of an exchange, and then hits a spinwheel kick. A little bit more brawling, and Edge hits the tornado DDT. He signals for the spear, but JJ flips him out of the ring.

Debra to the apron to break up the count. Edge approaches. JJ and Edge hit each other. Debra is bumped off the apron. Gangrel snaps Edge over the ropes. JJ catches Edge in a forward Russian leg sweep. 1-2-3. Jarrett regains (13:21). Edge is now the shortest-reigning IC champ of all time, taking the honor from fellow Canadian The Mountie, who held the belt for two days before losing it to Roddy Piper at Royal Rumble '92. Backstage, Austin is stitched up. He runs out and JJ is still in the ring. He clears the new champ out and promises to find the Undertaker to bust him open. The crowd eats it up. Yum! Match 2: ACOLYTES vs. THE HARDY BOYZ & MICHAEL "Formerly Sexy" HAYES ---No DQ, WWF tag team title match--- Acolytes to the ring. Backstage, Hayes says he's ready to lead the champs by example. The teams meet on the entranceway. Lots of brawling. Bradshaw and Farooq get the better of it. Bradshaw flings Matt into the steps. He then clotheslines Hayes. Farooq holds up steps and Bradshaw flings Hayes into them. The bell rings to start the match. The Hardys are in trouble. Jeff ducks Farooq in the ring and leaps over the top rope onto Bradshaw. Nice. Matt with a moonsault onto the Acolytes outside the ring. Inside, the Hardys work over Bradshaw. Bradshaw outside. He catches Matt, but Jeff dropkicks them down. Then, it's Farooq's turn to take punishment. Supplex on Farooq, and a senton leads to a two-count. Farooq hits a spinebuster slam on Matt as the participants get on the apron and the match settles down. Bradshaw in, and he clobbers the Jeff some more. Farooq tagged. Backbreaker. Two. It goes on until Hayes is tagged in. Bradshaw with a boot to Hayes' face. More brawling from the Acolytes. Hayes kicks Farooq, and tags in Jeff. Slam by Farooq. Two. Bradshaw catches the Hardy on the top and slams him down. Jeff survives pin attempts. Farooq with a chinlock. Farooq sets up for a piledriver, and all five men are in. Suddenly, it's just Farooq and Jeff, who nearly gets a pin after a stone cold stunner. Lots of brawling -- it's hard to keep up. Bradshaw puts Jeff on the top for a belly-to-back superplex. Matt breaks up the pin, and nails Bradshaw with a walking stick. Two. Bradshaw catches Jeff in mid-air with a clothesline. The pin is broken up. The Acolytes double powerbomb Hayes. Pin, and another title change. (9:34) Match 3: D'LO BROWN vs. MIDEON ---European title match--- D'Lo out first. Mideon out. Even with the championship belt, he looks sad. He must miss the other Godwinn. Ross says something has happened with Austin. Back to the ring, D'Lo talks smack to Mideon. Mideon with a few punches, and he looks exhausted already. D'Lo gets the advantage. Series of punches in the corner. Irish whip, clothesline over the top. D'Lo with a baseball slide and then a tope. He smacks Mideon some more.

(7:10) Match 4: AL SNOW vs. BIG BOSS MAN ---Falls anywhere, Hardcore title match--- Poor Al. The Hardcore champs says he wants the pain to go away. He can't stop hearing voices since a spike was put through Head. Ross says Al can't sleep and that he hasn't seen such tired eyes since Swede Hanson. Swede Hanson, you finally made a pay-per-view and the Internet. Anyway, Snow meets Boss Man on the entranceway, and asks him to put him out of his misery. Sure, says the Boss Man. But first, he pounds on the spike. Al goes nuts. What follows is several minutes of brawling. Nothing spectacular. They go into the back where they toss each other into all kinds of stuff. Boss Man almost calls Al a piece of shit. Al takes a pot of hot coffee and dumps it on the Boss Man. Supplex by Al onto a table. In an amusing spot, Boss Man finds a football down marker (set to first down) and hits Al with it. He then changes it to fourth down, and punts Al in the gut.

He handcuffs Al to the fence, and Al begs him to make the voices stop. Boss Man beats Al with his night stick. The ref counts the pin against the fence. (10:13) Another new champ. An unconscious Al is smiling. Match 5: THE BIG SHOW vs. KANE ---Hardcore Holly is your special referee--- Before the match, Holly says he'll be fair with both men, and that if they give him any trouble, he'll slap them around. In the ring, Holly lays down the law for TBS and Kane. The Show attacks Kane before the bell. Holly gives him hell for it. TBS and Kane exchange punches. The Show scores the first good move of the match -- a press slam over the top and to the floor. Outside, TBS tosses Kane into the corner post. Inside, Kane puts a foot up to stop a charging TBS. Kane hammers the big guy in the corner. Holly warns Kane, and TBS takes advantage. TBS chops Kane in the corner. Whip to the other side, and he pounds Kane some more.

They brawl some more -- it's all they can do in this environment. Shamrock uses a trashcan. Shamrock takes the chain, and wraps it around his hand. He hammers Blackman and then chokes him. That's it. Shamrock leaves. (4:32) For what it was, it wasn't bad. I guess. Match 7: CHYNA & MR. ASS vs. ROAD DOGG & X-PAC ---Winners get the rights to the DX name--- Gunn and Chyna are wearing trunks that are largely made of sheer material. That's more of Mr. Ass than I want to see.

Road Dogg with a series of fists on Chyna, followed by the knee. Ass in. X-Pac in. X-Pac with the bronco buster on Chyna. Chyna rolls out, and pulls down X-Pac. This causes Ass to miss an avalanche. Road Dogg grabs a stunned Mr. Ass in a pumphandle slam, leading to the pin. (11:45) Match 8: THE ROCK vs. HUNTER HEARST HELMSLEY ---Falls anywhere strap match; winner is #1 contender for the WWF title--- HHH out first. He tries to look intense. The Rock gets on the Titan Tron. He cuts a great interview, saying that HHH should stop whining about how he's been held back. "The Rock says they didn't keep you at the bottom of the barrel just cuz you wanted to say goodbye to your roody-poo friends in Madison Square Garden. No. The Rock says they kept you at the bottom of the barrel because you absolutely suck." Amen. The Rock says he's sticking the strap right up HHH's ass. Now, that's worth $30!!!

(19:22) Match 9: STEVE AUSTIN vs. THE UNDERTAKER ---WWF title, first blood (with special stipulations listed below)--- So, if the WWF Champion Steve Austin loses, he has to remove his own brain with a rusty hunting knife. If The Undertaker loses, Vince McMahon has to poop in a clear plastic bag and wear it around his neck forever. Okay, okay, the truth. If Austin loses, no more WWF title shots for him. If Undie loses, Vince McMahon must stay off television forever. Uh-huh. I like my stipulations better. Vinny Mac and his crutches make their way to the ring. He sits next to Ross and Lawler.
