Taboo Tuesday :
Hosted by Joey Styles & Jerry “The
King” Lawler, and Hugo & Carlos for the SAP
people.
Edge and Chris Masters came out to start
the PPV with a bang. Todd Grisham presented the results
for the first vote. Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio were
voted in with 29% and 31% to get to face Edge and Masters.
Holly scored the lowest with only 10%. I guess my million
votes for him did a lot for that. Before the match started
Lita and Edge said they had a surprise for everyone
: Edge isn’t wrestling tonight ! Edge said he
doesn’t care about Hardy, Raw, or what the public
voted for. He presented his replacement : Snitsky !~
1 ) Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio
beat Chris Masters & Snitsky in 13:46 when Rey Mysterio
pinned Chris Masters after a Springboard Splash.
They had 2 referees in the ring. Mike
Chioda representing Raw, and Nick Patrick representing
SD. At 3:02 Rey did a hot tag to Hardy who cleared the
ring. Hardy had a super cluster with Snitsky on his
Rock Bottom type maneuver. Hardy hit a Superplex on
Snitsky which he turned into a Brainbuster (not wanted)
and he almost killed Snitsky. At 7:14 Snitsky hit a
Spinebuster on Hardy. Matt has been pummelled for 8
straight minutes, building up to the Rey-Rey tag. At
10:30 Hardy finally made the tag and Rey hit all his
signature moves. Rey got locked into the Masterlock,
but the referees fought so it was all broken (like all
the tables). The ending was a mess, but finally Rey
hit the 619, then Hardy hit the Twist Of Fate and finally
a Springboard Splash for the win. SD wins ! (not Jones).
- Mick Foley told Maria that maybe their
luggage was switched, because he couldn’t remember
wearing this (showing a thong). Maria was wearing the
Mankind mask and a nightie. She gave him back his mask,
but then continued to strip (off camera) thinking that
maybe her bra & panties were also Foley’s,
ya know, since she’s a ditz. She told Foley to
have a nice day and he said “I think I already
did.” still bug-eyed in front of the naked goddess.
The crowd crapped big time on that skit.
Todd Grisham presented the 3 legends and
the results for the next match. Jimmy Snuka won the
poll with 43% of the votes. Duggan was second with 40%
and Kamala last. Snuka gets to team with Eugene.
2) Eugene & “Superfly”
Jimmy Snuka beat Rob Conway & Tyson Tomko at 6:21
when Snuka pinned Conway after a top rope Splash.
Snuka entered the ring at 4:50 and just chopped and
headbutted the guys. Eugene hit the Rock Bottom on Conway
and told Snuka to get on top. Snuka hit the Splash for
the win at 6:21. After the match Duggan and Kamala came
out to help Eug’ and Snuka to get rid of Tomko
and Conway. They celebrated together to Duggan’s
old “Ohhhhh” entrance theme.
The WWE Fanatic Series for November was
promoted. It’ll be “Tombstone”, The
Undertaker DVD set that will be played all month on
PPV.
Grisham showed the poll results for the
Carlito/Foley match : Mankind won the poll with 52%.
Next was Cactus Jack with 35% and finally Dude Love
last.
3) Mankind beat Carlito at 7:22
with the Socko Claw.
Crowd is dead. Foley’s hair is clean
and puffy, unlike the real Mankind. No pig squeals either.
Mankind did a couple of stupid bumps on the outside,
head first on the ringsteps. Nasty stuff. Carlito dominated
the match and Mankind bled from the mouth. He pulled
out his hair at 5:20 (Mankinding Up ?) and started his
comeback. At 6:10 he hit his elbow from the apron, and
his double arm DDT at 6:50. Mankind brought out a special
Mr. Socko (with an afro !!) … A Mr. Carlito if
you weel ! He put on the Socko-Claw on Carlito for the
win. That’s cool.
Backstage, Mr. McMahon confronted Raw
GM Eric Bischoff about losing the match to SD! Vince
said he was disgusted with this pussyfied version of
Eric Bischoff, a loser Bisch’ isn’t the
Bisch’ he knew. Vince is tired of people who wait
for him to give him everything. He still wished good
luck to Bischoff for the next Raw Vs SD! Match.
Mick Foley went to the internet room to
answer to fans on WWE Instant Access.
Todd Grisham presented the poll results
for the main event : HBK was chosen with 46% of the
votes. Kane was second with 38%. Big Show, who was last,
shook HBK’s hand. Kane refused.
4) Kane & The Big Show beat
World Tag Team champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
for the titles at 7:58 when Big Show pinned Lance Cade
after a double Chokeslam.
The monsters dominated, but finally the
champs took the advantage after hitting the Sweet n’Sour
on Kane on the outside. At 7:58 Big Show pinned Lance
Cade after a double Chokeslam for the win. New World
Tag Team champions : Kane & The Big Show
After the match, Grisham tried to interview the champs
in the ring, but Murdoch interrupted and got double
Chokeslammed himself.
Backstage, the Coach pumped up Vader and
Goldust for his match. He’s actually hoping to
be WWE champion soon.
Grisham brought out all the Divas and
revealed the results … Lingerie with 43% !!! UNREAL
!!!
Grisham then revealed that the Coach will
be fighting Batista in a Streetfight, since that choice
got 91% of the votes.
5) WWE champion Batista beat Jonathan
Coachman (with Vader & Goldust) in a Streetfight
at 4:21 with a Sit Out Powerbomb.
Basically a 3 on 1 match from the start.
It’s legal since it’s a streetfight. Batista
tried to Suplex Vader but Goldust interfered with a
Kendo stick. Coach hit Batista with a leather belt while
Vader & Goldust were holding him. The Animal came
back and got the belt himself and killed everyone with
it. Batista missed a Spinebuster on Vader, but vader
took the bump anyway. Batista still wanted to try it
again, and did make it this time, lifting up big Leon.
Batista followed up with his finisher on Coach for the
win.
Grisham interviewed HBK backstage who
thanked the fans for voting him in for the second year
in a row. Kurt Angle interrupted and proposed a deal
to HBK : that they take out Cena, so that they can decide
between the 2 of them who the best in the biz is. HBK
said he’ll think about it.
They promoted the official Taboo Tuesday
theme song : “Twisted Transistor“ by Korn.
6) Trish Stratus retained the
WWE Women’s title in a Divas Lingerie Battle Royale
at 5:28
a) Maria (eliminated
by Trish & Mickie James)
b) Candice Michelle (by
Ashley)
c) Ashley (by Victoria)
d) Victoria (by Mickie
James)
e) Mickie James (by Victoria)
Mickie James saved Trish from elimination
a couple of times and actually eliminated herself on
purpose while throwing out Victoria, to make sure her
idol would win the match.
After the match, Grisham tried to interview
Trish, but Mickie interrupted like a crazy woman and
said she was ecstatic that her idol won, bla bla bla
… Trish couldn’t say a word and seemed pissed.
A few players from the San Diego Chargers
were shown in the first row.
They announced that the people who ordered
Taboo Tuesday on PPV would get 1 month of “WWE
24/7” free.
Hunter-Flair is next.
Todd Grisham revealed that “Steel
cage” won with 83%. The cage was lowered.
7) WWE IC champion Ric Flair beat
Triple H in a Steel Cage match at 23:45
At 3:30 Flair started bleeding from the
forehead after behind whipped a couple of times I the
cage. At 6:00 the crowd started a “let’s
go Flair !” chant, since he, no joke, didn’t
put one offensive move since the bell rung. Trips tried
to leave the cage but finally Flair came back with chops.
The 2 guys got crotched on the top rope. Of course Triple
H sold it more, to prove he had a bigger package obviously.
Trips tore off a chain from the top of the cage and
tried to use it. Trips tore off a chain from the top
of the cage and tried to use it. The word “methodical”
has already been used about a million times by the announcers
to excuse this crap. Flair is being emptied from his
blood. At 11:20 Triple H put on the Figure 4 on Flair.
Flair screamed in pain, and since the crowd is dead
you could actually hear crystal clear Flair calling
Trips “You Motherfucker!!” and also “Fuck
You”. *DVD Edit* At 13:50 Triple
H started to bleed too. At 15:35 Flair Suplexed the
Game after holding him in the air for a few seconds.That
was cool. At 18:15 Flair put on the Figure 4 and this
time Triple H screamed, but no swearing. At 20:15 Flair
did a top rope move and then went to a blatant low blow,
but it’s legal in the cage. Flair crawled to the
door, but Trips caught his leg. Flair brought in a chair
from the outside. At 22:15 Flair grabbed Triple H’s
balls for a big pop, and then countered a Pedigree by
Backdropping Triple H. He then KO’ed him with
3 chairshots and left the ring by the door to keep the
IC title. Flair cried and Triple H crawled out the ring
and then was helped out to the back.
A commercial for the Wrestlemania Anthology
box set aired.
WrestleMania Anthology
They showed P.O.D in the front row : a
rock group who did the theme song for the Survivor Series.

total.
Main event is next.
8) World champion John Cena beat
Kurt Angle & Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat match
at 16:42 when he pinned HBK after an F-U.
Refereed by Mike Chioda. Angle attacked
HBK at the start, so they didn’t work out their
deal. They all tried their finisher early in the match,
but it was broken up every time. At 5:00 HBK and Angle
did seem to team up to get rid of Cena and even worked
him on the outside. They Face first double Suplexed
Cena on the SAT’s table. The match turned into
a Angle Vs HBK match in the ring with Cena KO on the
outside. At 11:47 Angle hit a top rope Angle Slam, HBK
kicked out and the crowd booed. Cena came back and the
crowd booed even more. Cena tried the YouCantSeeMe on
HBK, but Angle pulled him outside. HBK jumped on Angle
and they were all on the outside. Back in the ring,
Cena hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle at 14:55. he went for
the FU but Angle countered into an Ankle Lock. Cena
fought it like a madman and HBK hit a top rope elbow
smash on Angle before he could submit. HBK surprised
Angle with the Sweet Chin Music and Cena took advantage
and hit HBK with the F-U out of nowhere for the win.
