(1) The new LOD defeated Nunzio
and Vito when Animal pinned Nunzio after the doomsday
device.
Segment one opens with the new LOD taking
on Nunzio and Vito. Steve Romero says that Animal is
in fantastic shape. What the hell is he smoking? Animal
brings Nunzio in the hard way and hits a dropkick before
striking a pose. He goes for an elbowdrop, but Nunzio
rolls out of the way and out of the ring. Animal tags
to Heidenreich. Nunzio slaps him and runs away for a
while but Heidenreich catches him back in the ring with
a big boot. Heidenreich looks like a white papa shango
with the face paint. Vito gets a cheap shot in and Nunzio
follows with a dropkick before dragging Heidenreich
over to make the tag to Vito. Vito comes in with some
kick and lands a clothesline for a two count. He tags
out to Nunzio who works on Heidenreich's arm but Heidenreich
is too strong and throws him off. They continue double
teaming him in the corner and go for a doubleteam clothesline,
but Heidenreich clotheslines the both of them instead.
Animal comes in and cleans house. He lands a powerslam
on Vito for a two count, broken up by Nunzio. Heidenreich
disposes of Vito and the LOD hit the doomsday device
on Nunzio for the pin. They close with the ad for the
Jake Roberts dvd "Pick Your Poison."
THE VERDICT
Typical LOD squash match.
(2) Hardcore Holly defeated Simon
Dean with an alabama slam.
In segment two we have Hardcore Holly
taking on Simon Dean. Simon tells us all his life, he's
been a winner. Someone hasn't been looking at their
record lately. Simon says it surprises him that no matter
what city he goes to, he hasn't been able to find a
single person just like him, a winner. Instead he runs
into just the opposite, a bunch of people who enjoy
being pathetic. A bunch of people who enjoy being out
of shape. A bunch of people who enjoy being pathetic,
out of shape losers. That's right, he is a winner because
of his patented simon system. He starts saying his name
is Simon Dean and Simon says.....but then Hardcore Holly's
music hits. Holly grabs the mic and tells Simon there
needs to be a little truth behind the Simon System.
Apparantly the Simon System seems like a laxative to
Holly, which is bad since he's fixing to kick the crap
out of Simon. Simon uses the ref as a shield and gets
a cheap shot in on Holly. Dean backs him into the corner,
but Holly revereses it and starts delivering a series
of chops which get a whoo from the crowd. Simon catches
air on the last chop. Holly goes for the Alabama slam,
but Dean makes it to the ropes to force a break. Holly
follows him outside, but Dean rams him backfirst into
the ring apron before rolling him back in. Simon covers
but only gets a one count. Simon continues to work over
Holly and hits a shortarm clothesline for another one
count. Simon follows up with a choke and goes to a side
headlock, but Holly small packages him for a two count.
Simon whips him to the corner and chokes him in the
ropes. Holly hit a full nelson slam to stop Simon's
momentum. Holly whips him to the ropes for a back elbow,
then a dropkick for a two count. He lifts him on the
ropes and lands a kick to the midsection. Holly hits
the alabama slam for the pin. They close with an Undertaker
career highlight video.
THE VERDICT
This was pretty much a squash match as
well, with Simon just gettig in a little offense. There
wasn't much here to make you care about either guy.
The prematch micwork was a nice touch though.
(3) Kid Kash defeated Scotty 2
Hotty with a moonsault.
Segment three has cruiserweight action
with Scotty 2 Hotty taking on Kid Kash. They lock up
and Kash goes to work on the arm. They trade reversals
and Kash throws him down by the hair. Scotty hits a
series of whips to the corner on Kash and climbs to
the second rope for the punches to the head. Kash throws
him off and rams him shoulder first to the corner post.
Kash goes back to work on the arm looking for an armbar
submission. Scotty fights back with some punches, but
Kash counters with a thumb to the eye to put a stop
to that. Kash whips him to the corner and charges in,
but runs into a big boot from Scotty. Scotty comes off
the ropes with a tomahawk chop to the head of Kash.
He whips him to the corner and charges in but Kash floats
over and catches a superkick from Scotty. Scotty knocks
him down and sets up for the worm, but Kash rolls out
to the ring apron. Kash snaps Scotty's arm across the
top rope and climbs to the top but Scotty catches him
and tries for a superplex. Kash blocks that and throws
off Scotty who lands throat first across the top rope.
Kash hits the top rope moonsault on the injured arm
and scores the pin. Segment closes with the wrestlemania
anthology commercial.
THE VERDICT
Solid match for Kid Kash. Not as good
as his other velocity performances however. Scotty's
act is really tired.
(4) Paul London and Brian Kendrick
defeated William Regal and Paul Burchill after Brian
Kendrick pinned Paul Burchill after a dropkick/flatliner
combination.
Segment four opens with a recap of the
Raw/Smackdown feud. In the main event, Paul London and
Brian Kendrick hook up with Paul Burchill and William
Regal. Regal goes to work on London's arm early, but
London reverses into a headlock. Regal shoves him off
to the ropes and London counters with a shoulderblock
and goes back to the headlock. He tags in Kendrick who
stomps Regal's back and goes to a headlock of his own.
Regal whips him to the ropes and Kendrick counters with
a forearm and goes for the cover. Regal counters with
a headscissors and Kendrick flips out of that and goes
back to the headlock. Regal makes the tag to Burchill
but he runs into a headlock as well. Burchill tries
to back suplex him, but Kendrick hangs on and takes
him down to the mat with the headlock. He tags London
back in and snap mares Burchill. London comes off the
ropes with a dropkick but only gets a one count. Londons
tags to Kendrick and hits a drop toe hold on Burchill
as Kendrick comes off the ropes with a neck whip on
Burchill. London tags back in and they hit a doubleteam
japanese armdrag on Burchill. Regal runs into a doubleteam
backdrop. They continue to doubleteam Burchill, but
he manages to shove London to the ropes and Regal pulls
down the top rope sending London to the floor. Regal
rams him into the ring apron on the outside ane rolls
him back in. Burchill hits a slam and tags out to Regal
who comes in and lays the forearms to London. Burchill
tags in and they doubleteam London before Burchill hits
a big samoan drop. He follows with a standing moonsault,
but Kendrick breaks up the count on two. Regal comes
in and hits a double underhook suplex on London for
a two count. Burchill comes back in and hits an over
the knee backbreaker and holds him there. London knees
his way out and Burchill lifts him up for a fireman's
carry. London floats over and runs Burchill face first
into the corner and makes the tag to Kendrick. Kendrick
hits a series of dropkicks on both men and climbs the
ropes in the corner to lay the punches to Regal. He
jumps off backward and catches Burchill in a flying
ddt. London and Kendrick land a double dropkick on Regal.
London hit a dropkick to the back of Burchill as Kendrick
gave him the flatliner and they scored the pin.
THE VERDICT
Good tag team match. These four did about
as good a job as can do with a tag team match in the
short time they were given. Regal and Burchill are a
good heel team and it looks like maybe London and Kendrick
could be a future opponent for MNM after they get done
with the mexicools.
OVERALL
This was pretty much a one match show,
but the main event was a really good tag match. The
other three were pretty much squashes, but I would definitely
recommend checking out the main event.
