Friday Night Fury
Richmond Coliseum Richmond, VA
1/27/06


Pyro and fireworks go off as Fury rolls into the Richmond Coliseum. The camera pans the crowd as we get set for this great night of action. We go back backstage to see WCW World Champion Matt Hardy entering the arena with the belt over his shoulder. John Cena wishes Hardy good luck. We are taken to our announce team Bob Martin and the Shooter Dan Stevens

BM: Welcome wrestling fans to Richmond VA as Friday Night Fury Rolls into town. I'm Bob Martin and to my right as always is the guru "The Shooter" Dan Stevens We just witnessed the arrival of the WCW World Champ Matt Hardy also being congratulated by Cena on his way in.

DS: Hardy may be WCW World Champ but after tonight I feel he will be the Former World champ. Triple H has a chip on his shoulder the size of a 2x4 and he's going to take it out on hardy.

BM: That may be true WCW Commissioner Arn Anderson basically banned Triple H from the arena last week so you know he wont be to happy.. Also to night we continue our or United States Tourney Kurt Angle will face Batista and Finlay will meet up with the Wolverine Chris Benoit. First off we have a match Kennedy himself asked for.

DS: Kennedy looked good early on but the Show was just to much for him as the Bear hug ended his night.

BM: Still trying to figure out why Kennedy requested the match? May be we will fiind out more later, next up Handicap action as the Mexicools were to take on Mark Henry but due to his injuy Kane will fill in.

DS: Mark Henry suffered that injury in a US Qualifying match last week against the Big Show. Maybe Kennedy wanted the match to revenge Henry?

americamamushiPosted on 06/15/06 at 01:22:43

I like Kennedy... but he's friggin' nuts for asking to take on the Big Show.

I thought for sure the Mexicools were gonna lose even though it was 2 on 1, but thanks to Batista they made it past the Big Red Machine.

Even with Melina interference I'm really surprised that Nitro picked up the victory.

Good main event and a good card in general.

The US title match neek should be great.  I love Finlay, but I'm thinking he's a little outclassed going into this match.
