UPN - Thursday! Say, when the roster of this show changes, will they
FINALLY change this bumper?
TV-PG-DLV - One World Leader Attitude - WWF!
Let Us Take You Back to RAW...and a "Hogan" chant
Opening Credits are Beautiful, People!
Hit the pyro, we're off once again - coming to you from the Corel Centre in
Ottawa, ON 21.3.2 (taped Aaron's Birthday) and SAP transmitido en espanol
on UPN and the Score - is it REALLY in Spanish up there? - THIS is WWF
SMACKDOWN!
TONIGHT: The Rock takes on Kevin Nash! I am experiencing FEAR!
But first...KURT ANGLE (who no longer has a website, I guess) joins the
commentators as We Are Taken Back to RAW when Kane did a spot of run-in to
effect Edge scoring a pinfall on Our Olympic Hero. Angle wastes no time
calling Cole "pal."
BOOKER TIO v. KING EDGE (with Forceable Entry CD cover - available next
Tuesday!) - Angle is out to support his homie, whom he's down with - "What
up, dog!" - and not at all to extract any kind of revenge against the man
who pinned him on Monday. He used to hang with Edge, but now he hangs with
Booker T. Lockup, T with the knee, overhand forearm, chop, right, chop,
right, chop, words for referee "Blind" Teddy Long - whip is reversed - T
gets the boots up but Edge slides under him, then ankles him to the mat.
Quickly to the top - flying clothesline gets Edge 2. T comes right back -
right hand, into the ropes is reversed and Edge hits a backbreaker - 1, 2,
no. Angle is convinced he'll be the #1 pick from Vince McMahon on Monday.
Edge with a right, into the ropes, clothesline. Cover, 2. Into the ropes
is reversed into a back elbow from T. Clothesline. "All right Booker T -
oh, y'all gonna make me lose my mind up in here, up in here!" T right,
right, right, kick, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Snapmares him over - to
the headlock. Coming up tonight, the Rock and Kevin Nash - also, the tag
team titles are on the line as Billy & Chuck take on the Hardy Boyz! Edge
back to his feet - elbow, elbow, T with a forearm in the back. Into the
corner is reversed but T gets the elbow up...but then runs into a big
flapjack. Edge with "Iblockyourpunchyoudon'tblockmine," again, AGAIN, and
an atomic drop. Angle proclaims T "the coolest...dude...I have ever met."
Clothesline off the ropes. Edge takes him down again. Into the ropes,
head down, T kicks. "Oh - who let the dogs out?" Edge comes back with his
half nelson faceplant. Edge goes up top - but Angle leaves his headset to
try to stop him - Edge kicks him to the floor - then dives from the top
onto Angle! Edge back in - ducks a swing but takes a kick in the gut - T
misses the axe kick, and Edge hits the Edge-o-matic - 1, 2, NO! Edge waits
for him to get up - gutshot - T escapes the Edgecution attempt, tries a
roundhouse kick but Edge ducks - and Long takes it! Edge off the ropes
with the spear...hooks the leg but Long is down. *Angle* back in -
clothesline, Olympic Slam, steps outside as T recovers and hits the axe
kick - Long is back up - 1, 2, 3. (4:30) All that we needed there was for
Angle to say is "sweet sassy molassy!" T hits a post-match breakdance for
our benefit. Here's a replay of the Olympic Slam - and Angle admiring T's
axe kick.
Hulk Hogan is WALKING! Listening to the soundtrack, does anyone else find
themselves eeriely reminded of those canned "Rocky" chants from just over
five years back that started Rocky Maivia's theme? Anyway, we're fortunate
enough to see Vince McMahon happening to run into him. Set your receptors
to ACTING! Hogan removes his sunglasses. Vince checks him out. "Well
I'll be damned - why it's the Hulkster. It's the icon! It's the Immortal
Hulk Hogan! By the way, pal - just for the record, just for the record, I
invented sports entertainment, and just for the record, I made YOU. I
don't wanna talk about the past but, uh - litsen, every time you go into
business for yourself, you fall flat...right on your red and yellow (ass) -
so, you and turnin' your back on this NWO stuff? That's not
cool...brother. But you know me - I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.
I hold in the palm o' my hand the #1 draft choice this Monday and I gotta
know - I wanta know...if YOU, Hulk Hogan - I wanna know if you wanna be my
#1 draft choice. ... I don't need an answer tonight - I want you to think
about it. I want you to think about what it would be like - Vince McMahon
and Hulk Hogan working together - you taking - you taking...direction from
me, and not going into business on your own. I'll tell you what I'll do.
You take the night off...think about it - how's that?" "You know, if it's
all the same to you inVinceible, I *will* think about it. But I also think
I'll hang around." Off he goes - leaving Vince to make a "hmmm" face.

Catch the WWF live! Monday is RAW at Penn State! Tuesday in Philadelphia

The APA play cards and display their impressive array of Molson Export cans
- Faarooq's got a straight flush so Bradshaw owes him five bucks -
unfortunately, Bradshaw's tapped out....but Willie's happened by so he asks
him to spot him "a fiver, as they say in the Queen's country." "A fiver.
So that you can take it to the local strip show and stick it down the
knickers of some lowly tart." "Yeah, exactly!" "The APA - d'ya know, I'm
really going to miss your wonderful repartee." "Man, what the hell are you
talkin' about?" "You know about the draught, don't you?" "The draft? Oh
we've already been drafted. Oh, I was drafted by the Cleveland Browns."
"And me by the LA Raiders - we also like draft beer cold, alcohol." "Yes,
how delightful. No, I mean the draught on Monday, I mean. Let's face it -
you, my dear Bradshaw - you could be draughted by Mr. McMahon, and you, my
dear Faarooq - you could be draughted by Mr. Flair so technically, that
would mean the APA would be...out of business." "Damn, man - he's right."
"You know, he is right - but the good news is if Faarooq were picked by one
show, and I was picked to be on the other show, then one of us would be on
the same show as you...so, technically, the APA could continue pickin' your
royal (ass)!" They yuk it up. "How charming. Good day, gentlemen." They
goad him into using the door. We follow Regal into a chance encounter with
he - DDP. He wants to know why Regal keeps pointing out all the bad things
that could happen as a result of this draft? Page reminds him that he lost
the intercontinental championship in front of (gets the number wrong) at
WrestleMania. "My dear fellow - perhaps I'm mad because a grinning bloody
idiot like you holds the European championship - a title that I once held
with honour. So I tell you what - why don't you put your European
championship on the line against me tonight, and I can get out some of this
aggression and anger that's making me so bloody mad sunshine!" "GREAT!
SU-per! MARVelous! That way, once *I* beat YOU, you'll forget all about
losing the intercontinental championship - and Regal, that's not a bad
thing - that's a good thing!" Regal makes some faces.
Cut to Nash - and Hall for a pep talk. "Big Kev - your SmackDown! debut
tonight. Nash - Rock. I'm so sick of that punk, that smirky smile - he
tells everybody Just Bring It? Why don't you bring seven foot,
three-thirty down to the ring and show him who the Great One is." "You're
right! You're right, I will bring it. I'll do what Hogan couldn't do at
WrestleMania - tonight, I'll kick the Rock's (ass)."

TRATUS - THE FITNESS MODEL (with SmackDown! is brought to you by Quaker
State, adidas Climacool, and truth!) v. IVORY and JAZZZZZZZ - Trish and Ivory start - lockup, side headlock by
Ivory...Trish tries to elbow out but Ivory keeps it locked in - arm
wringer, another turn, pounds the arm, to a hammerlock - Trish's elbow DOES

a crossbody for 2 - Jazz saves. Ivory with a stomp. Scoop - spin - and
slam. Tag to Jazz. Off the ropes with a big legdrop - 1, 2, no. Left,
left, left, kisses the right (!) and lands it - free shot for Lita to keep
HER involved with referee "Blind" Chad Patton while Ivory comes in - wow,
double half crab!! Jazz still in control - chop, chop, kick, kick, into
the opposite corner, running splash - nobody home! Lita starts the
rhythmic clapping - and gets the hot tag! Clothesline by Lita, free shot
for Ivory, clothesline for Jazz - Ivory in, SHE gets a clothesline,
dropkick for Jazz, gutshot for Ivory, into the ropes is reversed, but Lita
hits the headscissors. But Jazz grabs her - hot shot. Trish tags herself
in for a top rope plancha - getting 2, but Ivory breaks it up. Ivory
knocks Lita off the apron, then she and Jazz doubleteam Trish. Into the
ropes, duck, Lita ankles Ivory while Trish delivers a brain kick -
Stratusfaction - 1, 2, 3! Trish pinned the champ! (4:17)
Backstage, LILIAN GARCIA interviews Rob van Dam. Winning the
intercontinental championship was cool. Where'll he end up in the draft?
"Hey, whatever! Of course, they're both gonna want me to make their show
better, right? But whether it's on Monday nights or on Thursday nights,
it's all good. No matter where I go, I'm still gonna be Points To Self."

RAW, Brock Lesnar makes an impact
WWF EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP: WILLIAM REGAL v. DR. TEETH - Lawler at least
gets on Page's case for botching the attendance figure - yeah, gotta keep
our stories straight around here! Lockup, side headlock by Regal,
forearm, back to the headlock - Page with forearms to the ribs, into the
ropes, shoulderblock by Regal, cover, 1, cover, 1, cover, 2 - European
uppercut by Regal, elbow, elbow, elbow, into the opposite corner is

Regal ducks but Page spins around for another big clothesline. Right, into

hooks the leg, gets 2. Page wants the Cutter but Regal shoves him away -
head in the gut - running knee. Regal waves! Cover...2. Another forearm
in the face cover - another 2. Double jumping knee to the head by Regal.
Stomp, stomp, stomp. Page comes back with a right, right, right, right,
but Regal manages a drop toehold from the mat, climbs on the back and
unleashes three big forearms to the back of the head. NICE snap suplex by
Regal gets 2. European uppercut. Union Jack! 1, 2, Page kicks out!
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, wave. Crowd brings the hate. Page puts
Regal in the corner, right, right, right, chop, chop, chop, right, into the
opposite corner, running clothesline by Page. Gutshot, BIG UGLY powerbomb
- 1, 2, NO!! Gutshot, DDT, 1, 2, CHRISTIAN pulls Page off of him -
somehow, referee "Blind" Brian Hebner completely missed it - Page with a
right hand to put him on the floor...behind Hebner's back, Regal lands the
Power of the Punch...and puts on the Regal Stretch! But Page is out - arm
falls once, arm falls twice, arm falls thrice - ladies and gentlemen, we
have a new European champion. (3:53) Christian goes into convulsions
celebrating Page's loss. Replays. Regal's chest may look like hamburger,
but he's now a three-time European champion.

CHRIS THURSDAY JERICHO & STEFFO make their way to the ring - Cole NOW tells
us that Triple H pinning Jericho will ALSO put Stephanie on the first bus
outta town. Lucky us, Jericho actually gets to speak first! "Go ahead -
enjoy it. It's what you all wanted to see, right, it's what you all came
to see...Chris Jericho without the Undisputed Championship. Yeah, so enjoy
it. Soak it up! Take it all in, you know why? 'cause it's not gonna
last. Because on Monday night, when Stephanie and I team up in a handicap
match against Triple H for the Undisputed championship, I'm gonna beat The
Game - and I'm gonna retake what is mine, and there's absolutely nothing
that any of you jackasses can do about it! Yeah, Triple H may have robbed
me for my championship at WrestleMania, but you people will not rob me of
my dignity! You people will not rob me of my self-respect! In case you
need a reminder, the man who beat the Rock and Steve Austin on the exact
same night - it was Chris Jericho! Yeah, yeah, and the man who put Triple
H out of action for eight long months - that was Chris Jericho! And the
man - the ONLY man who can say he was the very first Undisputed champion in
history...it was Chris Jericho! Hunter beat me on a fluke, but the reality
is he is TERRIFIED of Chris Jericho, he is absolutely scared to death of
Chris Jericho, and I'll tell you the reason why - why else would he insist
on having his very own wife be my partner in the handicap match, huh? I'll
tell you why, I'll tell you why, because he *knows* that he can't beat me
twice! But he also knows that if he beats either me or you that Stephanie
has to leave the World Wrestling Federation, and it's not gonna happen!
It's not gonna happen because I will not allow such a terrible tragedy to
happen!" Crowd starts singing again. "Yeah, right, you know - we NEED
Stephanie McMahon! We all need Stephanie McMahon in the World Wrestling
Federation!" "YOU NEED MEE" THE MAN interrupts just in the nick of time.
"You know what? I'm glad you came out here, Hunter, because on Monday I'm
going to finish off your leg, finish off your career, and finish off The
Game!!" "First of all, Jericho, Liberace called and said he wants his
pajamas back. Second, did I hear you say we NEED Stephanie McMahon? Who
knows - you know what, after thinking about it, maybe you're right. Maybe
the World Wrestling Federation can never have enough lying, whining,
conniving (bitches). I mean after all, with all the things she's
contributed - I tell you what. Let's take a look at all the contributions
that Stephanie McMahon has made to the World Wrestling Federation."
Video package: "Stephanie's Most Embarrassing Moments" - hey we DO get to
see Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight!
We come back to see Jericho shielding Stephanie's eyes from the travesty on
the big screen. Back to Triple H: "You're right...Stephanie has been a
barrel of laughs. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the people Monday night were
wrong. You know, maybe we should - maybe we should ask again - who here
thinks that Stephanie should stay in the World Wrestling Federation? Now,
who here thinks that Stephanie should LEAVE the World Wrestling
Federation?" "Stop singing! STOP SINGING! You don't even know what you
need, you need me!" "Well...I guess that settles that. As far as you go,
Jericho, unlike my soon-to-be ex-wife, at WrestleMania, you DID earn my
respect. And you're right, the one thing that nobody can ever take away
from you is the fact that you were the first-ever Undisputed World
Wrestling Federation champion...but Chris, that doesn't mean you're the
best. You see, you went into WrestleMania thinking that you were
unbeatable, that you were the immovable object - but what you didn't take
into consideration was that you were coming up against the unstoppable
force. This Monday night will be no different - after I defeat you and
Stephanie in this handicap match on RAW, I will STILL be the Undisputed
World Wrestling Federation Champion. And Stephanie will be gone from the
World Wrestling Federation. Because Chris, WrestleMania was the start of a
whole new Game. And this Game is forever." "You know, Hunter, you really
couldn't be more wrong. You think I haven't contributed to the World
Wrestling Federation? Well I've got a big surprise for you, because come
this Monday night, you won't be leaving RAW the WWF Undisputed Champion,
and neither will Chris Jericho. See, because I talked to my daddy and I
talked him into changing our little handicap match, and no longer will
Chris Jericho and I be teaming up to face you; instead, the match will be
Chris Jericho versus Triple H versus ME (Stephanie McMahon) in a Triple
Threat match for the Undisputed WWF Championship. And while, Hunter, I
know that it would be an incredible embarrassment for you to lose that
title to Chris Jericho, it would be the ultimate humiliation to lose it to
ME. And not only will I not be leaving the World Wrestling Federation, but
this Monday night, I will be leaving RAW the FIRST-EVER FEMALE UNDISPUTED
WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAMPION." Play Triple H's old - I mean, her
music! Jericho seems unhappy with this development.

Commentators shill "Under One Roof"
Garcia catches up with Jericho backstage and gets his reaction. "What
peculiar reaction, YOU'RE peculiar. What do you mean, what am I thinking,
I think the question is what is Stephanie thinking? What does she have up
her sleeve, now that she made this match a Triple Threat, so that means if
she pins Triple H, she becomes the champion. And if she pins me, she
becomes the champion. But....if I pin Stephanie, *I* become the
champion..." The light goes on and Jericho walks away...
TAJIRI (with Torrie Samuda) v. TEST (with Backlash onsale announcement -
Chris Benoit will be there!) - Wow, I almost forgot all about that guy!
Test with a knee, forearm in the back, right, into the ropes, Tajiri ducks
and hits a Viscera kick. Climbing up top - but Test crotches him. Test
right, right, five kicks in the back as Tajiri's draped over the top - he
drops to the mat. Test picks him back up - right, back elbow, right, into
the opposite corner, follow clothesline, into the opposite corner, follow
clothesline, pulled into a big short clothesline for 2. Scoop...and a
slam. Off the ropes, elbowdrop MISSES when Tajiri rolls out. Tajiri goes
to work - kick, right, right, knee by Test stops that short. Into the
ropes, Tajiri slides under - Test catches the kick, spins him around,
Tajiri ducks the clothesline and unleashes a big superkick. Both men are
down. Let's take a replay while we're waiting. Both men up as referee
"Blind" Jimmy Korderas reaches 3. Tajiri right, right, right, into the
opposite corner is reversed, but Tajiri goes up and over as Test charges
in...ending up on the shoulder...but shoving Test to the corner, gutshot,
front face, climbing up, tornado DDT!! Cover, leg is hooked - ONLY 2!
Tajiri kicks the leg, into the corner is reversed - Test coming in but
Tajiri is up and over - into the Tarantula! Of course, he has to break at
4. Off the ropes, sunset flip doesn't happen - Test drops down - Tajiri
slides out with a bridge - back kick to the head! Tajiri winds up - but
Test ducks the KICK, sweeps the leg, makes the international sign of the
Wotsitolla Boot but Tajiri ducks THAT - superkick by Tajiri - into the
ropes is reversed, Tajiri wants the handspring elbow but Test catches him
in a full nelson for Uncle Slam - 1, 2, NO! Torrie up on the apron - Test
grabs a handful of hair and shoves her off - Tajiri with ANOTHER superkick
- leg is hooked, 1, 2, NO! Both men up slowly - Tajiri with a chop - into
the ropes, no, Test pulls him into a powerbomb - YOU CAN'T POWERBOMB TAJIRI
- Tajiri off the ropes - oops RIGHT into Wotsitolla Boot - 1, 2, 3, Test
wins. (3:54) Commentators specualte Test will be a high draft pick - WHY?
Back to the NWO - with Vince. "He looks ready." "Looks ready to me,
boss." "You know, I've got a feeling that tonight - I've got a feeling
that tonight, the NWO is gonna make a statement. Kevin Nash versus the
Rock. Yeah, you know what - I got a feeling that tonight - I got a feeling
that Kevin Nash is gonna step into the ring with the Brahma Bull...and the
Brahma Bull is gonna be CASTRATED." "Hey boss, about the draft on
Monday..." "Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you guys. On
the draft, I've arranged it so the NWO is drafted as a unit - all of ya."
"Sweet." "And by the way, I assure you that Ric Flair doesn't want any
more NWO poison." "No doubt." Hall and Nash manage to flub a
handshake/gimme five while Vince makes more faces. Yikes.
Wait, so Vince, who wanted to kill his creation.....he's going to keep the
NWO *away* from Flair? Zat right?

EL HURACAN (with Let Us Take You Back To WrestleMania) v. MIGHTY MOLLY in
smooth, creamy intergender action - But first, an extended pantomime.
Hurricane: "You - frying pan shot - my back - wassupwitday?" Molly: "I
wanted da belt - I wanted da belt - Hand of Friendship?" He takes it - so
she kicks him in the gut. Wow, he's stupid. She rips off his cape - kick
is caught, spun away - Hurricane sets up for his chokeslam...but relents -
and goes to leave. So she gives him a double sledge - does he GET it yet?
Stomp, stomp, stomp, chop, into the opposite corner, tumbling run
handspring elbow, dropkick! She runs at him, but he dumps her over the top
to the floor. To the top...but again he decides against landing the big
move on his sidekick. Well, it's all moot now - here's BROCK LESNAR with a
big spinebuster for Hurricane. There's the inverted TKO. Molly in as PAUL
E. HEYMAN shows up to direct traffic - BIG clothesline for Molly! Heyman
raises Lesnar's hand while the heat machine boos... Well, referee "Blind"
Mike Sparks never called for the bell, so let's call it (No contest 1:00)

Ric Flair talks (to ME!) on his phone - but cuts short when Taker pays him
a visit. "Say, Flair - whoanonononono, sit down. How you feelin' these
days? You didn't look so hot at WrestleMania, didja?" "No, but I'm still
here." "Yeah, I see you still here. I seen you were here Monday night
when you put the figure four on Vince. Well see Monday night I had the
night off - but this is Thursday night - and I'm here." "I know that."
"So since I'm here...I got a little somethin' I need to ask you. I need
you to do me a favour." "Me do a favour for you?" "Yeah, I need a favour
from ya. You know this brand extension that's comin' up - you and McMahon
- I want you to draft me." "You want me to draft you." "Yeah, that's
right. I want you to draft me. Because...you know, leading into
WrestleMania, on all the shows they had 'this is a WrestleMania Moment.' I
want you to draft me so every day of your life can be a WrestleMania
Moment. You just think about that, Flair. (touches his knee) You just
think about that." Then he grabs his crotch, laughs, and walks off. Wow,
this just turned a whole lot more gay...man, Undertaker rules, though.
Meanwhile, Billy & Chuck talk about hiring Rico - he might be tough, but

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: HARDY BOYZ v. BILLY & CHUCK (with Rico) - Jeff
does his Aldo Montoya impersonation underneath the black light. Rico wears
a perfect coif, five o'clock shadow, black skintight shirt, black slacks
and shoes, and a single earring in his left ear. I think you can draw the
obvious conclusion - HE'S A STYLIST. Billy and Matt start - sorry, that's
Chuck - Matt ducks a clothesline, gobehind - to a headlock - Chuck powers
out - Matt ducks the clothesline and the schoolboy gets 2. Chuck with a
clothesline. Right by Chuck puts him down. Into the ropes, head down,
Matt with a swinging neckbreaker. 1, 2, no. Chuck to the eyes - tag for
Billy but Matt shoves him to Jeff for a free shot - tag - doubleteam kicks.
Kick by Jeff, right, into the ropes is reversed, Jeff ducks, crossbody gets
2. Kick, kick, into the ropes is revesred, Chuck grabs the hair, Jeff
turns round and puts HIM on the floor, but turns back to take a
tilt-a-whirl slam from Billy. Tag to Chuck - stomp, stomp, stomp stomp
stomp stomp stomp stomp. Picks him up - discus right. Jeff comes back
from his knees - right, right, right, forearm, forearm, forearm, off the
ropes, runs into a back elbow. Chuck with the tag. Billy grabs the hair -
double into the ropes, double clothesline ducked, Jeff with a split legged
double dropkick - and a tag! Matt clotheslines Billy, clotheslines Chuck,
clotheslines Billy, back body drop for Chuck as Billy gets a double and
speaking in tongues legdrop from Jeff. Matt pounds Chuck in the back,
again, into the opposite corner, Poetry in Motion - Billy into the corner,
AGAIN Poetry in Motion but Chuck ducks under and Jeff crotches himself in
the corner. Matt manages a tornado DDT but before Jeff can hit a swanton,
Chuck shoves him to the floor! Matt shoves CHUCK to the floor, second rope
for the ahhhhhdrop. 1, 2, Rico rolls Jeff into the ring and into refereee
"Blind" Nick Patrick to stop the count. Matt with a gutshot, wants the
Twist of Fate but Billy shoves him to the ropes where Rico is waiting to
deliver a hot shot - Billy with a Pound'Asser - 1, 2, 3, champs
retain...with just a little help. (3:38) How's my hair? How's my hair?

BIG & TALL (with Clean & Sober) v. THE
ROCK - The NWO video treatment no longer has Hogan in it, wisely enough
- Nash is wearing some NICE pants - and by "nice" I mean "funny." Nash
looks to be auditioning for one of those samurai movies with his 'do, but I
bet I don't have to type "adjusts his hair" a million times for this match,
so there's always a silver lining. Staredown. "Rock E" chant. Your
referee is Earl "I Only Don't Work Montreal" Hebner. Rock waiting for Nash
to strike - there we go - "Iblockyourpunchyoudon'tblockmine," right, right,
right, but Nash barrels him over with a clothesline. Big forearm in the
back. I wonder if that white stripe along Nash's backside is some kinda
optical illusion to mask the fact that Nash is so HUSKY... Straight right
hand from Nash. Here comes Rock - right, right, right, right, right, Nash
with a knee in the gut to halt THAT. Up on the shoulder - and down in
Snake Eyes. Knee to the back of the neck - choke on the second rope. Hall
holds him down for the Bossman Straddle from Nash. Knee/shin in the back
again - as Hebner pulls him off, Hall gets in a right. Crowd is chanting
"Hogan?" Rock in the corner - Nash stands on the neck a la Stacy Keibler.
Hall adds an apron run clothesline. Rock back in the corner. Hall: Ho ho
ho, now you're gonna get it!" Nash knee, knee, knee, right, right, right,
and I believe you can describe this pace as "deliberate." Now to the back
elbow. "Who's the (bitch) now? Who's the (bitch) now?" Back elbow. Nash
with the frame, the crotch chop, which signals the comeback - right, right,
right, right, right, off the ropes - but Nash steps aside and tosses him
over the top to the floor. Hall looks sneaky but it's Nash Dieseling over
the top to grab Rock - up on the shoulder - but Rock shoves Nash into the
ringpost! Rock right, back in the ring, and HALL lands a right - and one
more. Hall right, tosses Rock back in for Nash. Nash with a big sidewalk
slam. Leg is hooked - 1, 2, NO! Hall: "THREE!" Hebner: "Look at my WWF
patch right here!" "Rock E" chant. Into the ropes...and Nash catches him
in a bearhug. Not much to talk about here - Nash squeezes, Rock grimaces.
Nash lets go and puts him to the mat with a forearm in the back. Nash BACK
to the bearhug. Hall egging him on from ringside. I imagine Hebner will
have to check the arm pretty soon...there we go. Arm falls once. Arm
falls twice. I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that we won't see
that again - sure enough, arm does NOT fall thrice! Rock tries a right,
right, right, breaking the hold, right, right, right, right, right, off the
ropes, ducks a clothesline from Nash and lands a flying clothesline of his
own! Gutshot, DDT! Hall is in (uh oh) but Rock heads him off - right,
right, right, right, crotch chop, NOW KISS THE RIGHT and Hall goes over the
top and away! Spinebuster for Nash - elbowpad tossed - off one side, off
the other, People's Elbow! Cover - 1, 2, Hall breaks it up. Dammit all,
that's two NWO main events this week and two copout finishes - this didn't
work on Nitro, what makes you think it's gonna work HERE? (DQ 7:11 Free
Slurpees!) Hall kicks at Rock, kick, wants the Razor's Edge but Rock dumps
him over the top! Rock to the commentary table and doing a little
furniture arranging - okay, clear of monitors and lights...but Nash is back
on Rock with a forearm in the back, right, and the "Hogan" chant isn't
gonna stop him - JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE! Well, here comes
YOU KNOW WHO - block Hall, right, right, right for Nash, right, into the
ringpost, right for Hall, into the ring, Hall into the ropes, big boot,
legdrop, Nash in with a forearm in the back, clubbing forearm, forearm, but
here comes Hogan with a right, right, into the ropes, big boot, off the
ropes with a legdrop for HIM - but lookee here, it's X-PAC with a chairshot
for Hogan - he does a Hogan impersonation while ripping off HIS NWO shirt,
then stands over Hogan, displaying his pretty white hems and waistband on
his black NWO shorts, as well as his new NWO boots. Hall grabs the chair
and also gives Hogan a shot. He wants another but it's Nash's turn. Nash
waits for him to get up - then hits him right in his hands - I mean head!
X-Pac relieves Hogan of his shirt. "Four years, I've waited for this!"
Hall hands over the spraypaint - and 'Pac sprays "NWO" on his back. Big
pose in the ring as the music plays. Credits are up...
Wonder what happened to the Rock there.
Wonder what happened to AUSTIN.
Number of times they said "split:" zero (estimated). CORPORATE
