We go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Jody Fleisch, John Cena, Rhyno, you three open up International Incident
tonight, and Jody, it must be a particularly special night for you, being back
in your home country."

Fleisch: "Of course I am, it's great to be demonstrating why we're going to be
forty-six times the team that the Pitbulls and Shamrock are going to be in
front of people who might even appreciate it. Mind you, I'm thinking Kurt Angle
might not be entirely wrong about the U.K., I've only been back a couple of
days and already by Rolex has been stolen."

Rhyno: "Yeah, and my Cyndi Lauper CD."

Everyone just stares.

Rhyno: "Yeah, like I said, my Nine Inch Nails CD was stolen."

Cena: "Guys, relax, those things aren't important as our match tonight, and as
soon as it's over, I'll help you guys replace them. Now let's get evil on
their asses."

Cenas incredibly brief rousing speech is enough to get the team pumped as we
head to the ring.

The Pitbulls & Ken Shamrock vs Jody Fleisch, "Unnecessarily Evil" John Cena & Rhyno

Besides Dynamite Kid, A lot of people had come to see Britains other DWF
representative, Jody Fleisch. Usually a bad guy, Fleisch and company were actually
greeted with cheers from the partisan crowd. The Pitbulls and Shamrock were
game, certainly, particularly The Pitbulls as they ran roughshot over their
opponents at most times but when the inevitable pier-six broke out, Fleisch' team
were thinking first. During the ensuing brawl, Rhyno caught Shamrock with the
Gore. Cena used the advantage to hit the Eighth Deadly Sin and as the Pitbulls and
Rhyno were ushered out. Cena held Shamrock down for Fleisch to hit the 2-8-4-7-4 (an
unusually un-evil move by Cena) and Fleisch got the win, bringing about a big
pop. *** 1/4

We go backstage to Jonathon Coachman and Larry Zbyszko, who are with the
Intercontinental champion, Brad Armstrong.

Coach: "Hi everybody, I'm The Coach, Jonathon Coachman - THE COACH! Hi
everybody. I'm here with The Rock, Brad Armstrong. Hi Bra..."

Armstrong puts his hand out to interrupt Coach and smell air.

Armstrong: "Know your role and SHUT your mouth... finally, The Rock HAS COME
BACK to London, England. And let the Rock say this Devon Storm, The Rock has
spent the past year knocking you on your candy ass, The Rock has spent the last
year in all sorts of guises and costumes showing you how to be half the man
that he is, but tonight The Rock will lay the smackdown on your candy ass if
you smell what the rock is cooking."

Armstrong glides off as we go to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Devon Storm, you've waited a year for your chance to get in the ring
with Brad Armstrong and tonight, it's finally come."

Devon: "That's right, one year I've been pestered by this guy, but it wasn't
until six months ago that I really cared. Brad, since that is your real name,
you cost me a chance to win the title when you attacked me with a pair of damn
scissors. Take a good look Brad, I'm still bearing the scars across my face
from what you did. You know, people seem to remember me as the guy who would
shoot about anything on my mind. Well Brad, here's one for you - just because
nobody cared about you when you were plain old Brad Armstrong doesn't mean you
had to lower yourself to these levels. You've made an idiot out of yourself and
you're stuck as you are, and if I beat you tonight and take away the one thing
that makes this gimmick even remotely work, the Intercontinental title, what
have you got Brad, just what have you got? Absolutely nothing."

Cole: "A confident Devon Storm looking to achieve his dream and win back the
Intercontinental title."

"The Rock" Brad Armstrong (c) vs Devon Storm (intercontinental title)

Devon came at Armstrong fists flying,
but it seems Brad has been watching tapes of The Rock as he glided around the
ring and executed the move almost exactly like the real thing. Devon was game,
keeping up with Armstrong, but his emotions cost him. Having survived a Rock
Bottom, Devon grabbed a chair and looked to use it. The ref intervened and
snatched it away from him allowing Brad to catch Devon with a spinebuster. One
Peoples Elbow later and Armstrong retained the gold. **** Wooh, Armstrong still has it.

We go back to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: "Hi DWF fans, welcome to this special interview segment which will be
repeated later on tonight on DWF Muddy Terrain..."

Angle: "God, shut up Mooney and get on with the interview."

Mooney: "Uhh, yes, I'm here with Kurt Angle. Kurt, how have you been enjoying
England?"

Angle: "Are you kidding me? I don't even want to begin on the kind of day I
had yesterday. But after I made bail, I took a look at the country today and
I found poor quality in education, in the health service. High taxes, low
public spending, at least on things that matter. Poor housing, people living
on the streets, it's disgusting, and London is the worst city of all. You know,
Britain might be bad, but there's one country which can match it in filth,
depravity and sheer idiocy of its people, and that's Canada. Chris Jericho, you
know as well as I do that that Pride of Canada tournament was a joke. There is
NO pride in Canada, everyone there with even half a brain wishes they were
American like me. And the fact that you acted like you were proud to win such
a stupid concept made me sick to my stomach. Where's the Chris Jericho with
the mean streak and the contempt for the people and the cutting edge that I
know? Granted, your nationality handicaps you, but you've gone soft Chris, just
like Canada and just like all these moronic Limeys out here today. Well I don't
care anymore, I'm just going to enjoy going out there and beating the truth
into you like the proud American I am. And when it's all over, I can get the
hell out of this forsaken country on Tuesday once and for all, and return to
somewhere where I can be glad to live."

Chavo Guerrero Jr., Low Ki, Kid Kash & Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Los Guerreros

The eight man tag was a fast paced affair with the Guerrero clan having the
obvious advantage being brothers and long time partners. It was down to Chavo
Jnr to use his knowledge of them to help out his team. Rey Mysterio was a big
factor in this match, working over Chavo Classic in impressive fashion,
finally wiping him out with the 619, only to be shoved off the ropes when
looking to follow up with the West Coast Pop by a cheating Hector. Low Ki
looked good too and matched Eddie move for move, but the undoing came when
Los Guerreros set their opponents up. Kid Kash was in the ring dominating
Mando when Eddie sent out Chavo Classic and Hector to run in. This brought in
the rest of Kash' team. Kash caught the Money Maker on Mando and went for the
cover but the ref was too busy dealing with the ongoing brawl to count the pin.
Eddie had stayed back and hit Kash with the frog splash while he was still
covering Mando. Eddie helped Mando up, and Mando hit the Mandosault to steal
a victory.

We go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Chris Jericho, you heard the comments of Kurt Angle, but do you feel
confident of following up your Pride of Canada triumph with another win
tonight?"

Jericho: "Mitch, this isn't about wrestling tonight, this is about me beating
the living hell out of some dorkus malorkus who thinks that he's better than
me simply based on the country he's from. You think the Americans are better
than Canadians every time our hockey teams kiss ass south of the border? You
think Donovan Bailey wasn't as good as the American sprinters when he won gold
in 96, and believe me Angle, more people cared about that than they did your
gold medal. But this has nothing to do with past achievements by either nation,
this isn't Canada versus America, this is you and me Angle, you and me. Tonight
the buck stops here, you will pay for every bad word you've had for foreign
wrestlers, foreign countries but especially every bad word you've ever had for
me, and I'll make sure you never... EVER look at me the same again."

Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle

The Angle/Jericho match saw both men playing for pride. It turned out to be a
classic end to end wrestling contest with both men setting their opponent up
for their respective submission holds. Jericho worked over the back of Angle
in an effort to get the Lion Tamer, Angle concentrated on the lower legs of
Jericho hoping to apply the ankle lock. And though both men managed to get
their holds on (both times the fallen man made the ropes) it ended up being a
pin that finished it, as Angles tactic of weakening the ankle worked in a
different way than expected. Jericho went for the asai moonsault, but with the
pain in his leg, he lost his footing and stumbled back onto the mat. Angle
got up quick and hit the Olympic slam and that was enough to claim the win.
***** YEAH!! I gave that baby twenty five minutes and they delivered. Jericho
may well have won this if Angle wasn't getting a title shot next week, but
that's neither here nor there, not necessarily definite.

As Angle manages to celebrate victory, he leaves the ring and delves under the
ring apron, pulling out a large American flag. Returning to the ring, he drapes
it over the fallen Chris Jericho and stands proudly over him to a chorus of
boos.

Backstage we go to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Billy Kidman, Steve Corino, both of you have crucial title defenses
tonight, will it be a night of celebration or could it be possible that both of
you have your titles snatches away."

Mason: "Mr. Cole, that is slander of the third degree and we may have to remand
proceedings against you from last months disgusting and unfounded diatribe
against my clients."

Cole: "I... uhh..."

Kidman: "Can it Cole, or Clarence here will be representing everyone forced to
listen to you talk in seperate lawsuits."

Cole: "Well... in any event, this is Dynamite Kids home country, what will you
have to do to silence the thousands of fans that have come to support him?"

Kidman: "You really are begging for a subpoena aren't you? I'll go out and do
what I always do of course - win! You think I care about Dynamite having home
field advantage? I never have home advantage, I'm always the unpopular one and
you don't see me snivelling about it, nor do you see me worrying about how my
opponent has all the support. So he's got an even bigger fan base tonight, big
deal, that just makes it all the more sweeter when I leave him laying on his
back knowing he's let every one of his fans down and knowing that his dreams
of winning this baby in his own country have been shattered by me. I don't care
about sentiments, I don't care about emotional support and added adrenaline, I
just care about beating your ass and then suing you for any illegal activity
you likely perpetrated during the match."

Corino: "And as for Lance Storm, you really want to tangle with the King of Old
School? You think taking me down with a chair shot makes you a big man? The
lump on my head still remains, but that's good, every morning since that match,
I've looked in the mirror and been reminded of why I intend to rip you up piece
by piece, old school by old school. So take a good look Lance, because the lump
you see here is nothing compared to the job I'm going to do all over you."

Kidman: "And remember, we didn't come here to make friends and impress anyone,
we came here to win at all costs. Dynamite, I've let you get this far, now
prepare to have everything you've ever worked for destroyed."

Steve Corino (c) vs Lance Storm (television title)

Another classic came from the television title match as Steve Corino defended
against number one contender Lance Storm. It was a nip and tuck battle but
Corino seemed to be getting the upper hand, despite being matched for the old
school style by Lance Storm. Indeed, the two gelled together extremely well in
the ring, but on this occassion it was Corino with the advantage. Lance tried
to comeback but upon missing a charge, Corino dived in for the Old School
Explusion, but missed and Lance was quick to slap on the Maple Leaf. The fans
rose in anticipation, expecting a title change, but Corino just managed to get
a fingertip on the ropes. Lance was still in control, but Corino caught Storm
by surprise by countering a backdrop with the Explusion and out of nowhere, the
most devastating finisher in the DWF had claimed another victim.
***** Ho-lee fucking hell, where did that one come from? Angle/Jericho isn't
a big surprise, I expected **** 1/4 tops here. Still, let's keep this form rolling...

As Corino leaves, belt raised high, successfully defended, Lance Storm pulls
himself to his feet in the ring. Standing dissapointedly, the fans give him a
standing ovation for his efforts. We then go backstage to The Coach.

Coach: "Hi everybody, I'm with Hunter Hearst-Helmsley who has something to say
to us all."

Helmsley: "That's right. As the American blue blood and most sophisticated and
cultivated of all the DWF superstars, it is only fitting that a man of my
stature throw his name into the hat for the King of the Ring next month. And
when all is said and done, and I have defeated three other lowly peasants
before me, I will be crowned King, and fame, fortune and title shots will
follow."

Coach: "Wow, you get title shots if you win?"

Helmsley: "That's right you vulgarian, I certainly will, and I can bring back
some prestige and dignity to this fledgling organisation."

Coach: "In that case, Larry, how would you like to enter too?"

Zbyszko: "Did I hand Bruno Sammartinos ass to him in 1980? You may be posh
Hunter but I, I have skills, tool, and an uncanny ability to wrestle the way
wrestling should be, just like I did Bruno Sammartino in 1980. You're looking
at the next king, and anyone who steps in my path, I'll sneeze upon like a
cheap bubonic plague infected whore."

King Kanyon walks on.

Kanyon: "Wait a minute my multitudes, as the only king in the DWF today, it is
only fitting that I, King Kanyon, should walk the hallowed decks of glory to
the kingdom that it shall lead."

Everyone begins bickering as we switch to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Chris Benoit, a once great faction, Triple Threat, has self destructed
and now the three of you go at it, is there going to be any difficulty in
taking on those who were once so close to you?"

Benoit: "Difficulty? I was practically taking them on from day 1, these idiots
have held me back for too long. Ask yourself, before I took charge of these
gaggling morons, how many world titles did I win? And how many did I win after
taking over the reigns and trying to help Dean Malenko and Masato Tanaka to a
little glory? Well Dean, I'm sick and tired of trying to help you, I carried
our team for years. When we won the tag team titles, it was all my work. When
you were in your glory years, that was all my doing. Well I've had it with you
taking glory that you only got by association and then acting like you did it
yourself. And Masato Tanaka? You're not even a factor in this, all you did was
speed up the death of a once great team. I regret ever inviting you on board,
I regret ever starting this whole thing up again, so I'm going to take care of
my regrets once and for all."

Chris Benoit vs Dean Malenko vs Masato Tanaka

The big Triple Threat Triple Threat match (so to speak) saw each man getting
their licks in on one another at various points during the match, but the main
heat seemed to be between Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. After they managed to
overcome Tanaka, Benoit and Malenko engaged in a real dog fight. Benoit seemed
to be winning that one when he backdropped Malenko out of the ring, only to
turn around and get slapped with his own Crippler Crossface from Tanaka. Dean
was knocked silly as a result of hitting the guardrail and Benoit was left with
no choice but to tap out to his own hold. A surprise win for Tanaka and an
embarassing loss for Benoit. **** 3/4 - so near to three in a row, but who
would really mind?

As Benoit makes it to his feet, Dean Malenko comes over and shoves him, upset
that Benoit dropped the fall. An angry Benoit shoves back and the two square
up, only for Masato Tanaka to clothesline them both down. Tanaka leaves
victorious as we go to Michael Cole with Don Muraco and Jeff Hardy.

Cole: "Don Muraco, coming up shortly your date with Raven."

Muraco: "Raven is nothing more than a blemish. The one blemish I have on an
otherwise perfect record, the only man to lay my shoulders to the mat for the
count of three. For five long months, I've had to live with that and live with
the fact that Raven is the man who cost me the one shot at the world title
that I've ever had. Well Raven, it's time to change history. I am as I say I
am, I am near unbeatable. Now I've lured you into the ring by putting out your
best friend Jerry Lynn, it's time to take out the entire team."

Hardy: "Like a couple of unread books, you will be alongside Jerry Lynn on the
shelf. Under my leadership, I'm taking this man, the most destructive force in
wrestling to the top, and for the occassion, I have some special haiku for you
all."

Muraco and Cole look nervously at one another.

Hardy: "Britain is the site
       At which Raven shall go down
       We will be the best."

Cole: "Ummm, thankyou Don Muraco and Jeff Hardy, back to ringside."

Edge & Christian vs Pretty Perfect

Edge and Christian took on Pretty Perfect in a sort of dream match in the tag
team division as two of the most dominant tag champs in history went at it.
Pretty Perfect are the big names of the tag division, at least in the past
couple of years, but Edge and Christian matched them, well, perfectly. While
Christian and Owen spilled to the outside, Edge and Hennig battled on the
inside. Edge began tossing about Hennig, but whipping him into the ropes, he
made the mistake of lifting a knee with the intent to catch him in the gut.
Hennig caught the knee and immediately had him set up for the Perfect Plex.
Christian was in quickly though and caught Hennig with a spinning heel kick.
Edge got back up and hit the Downward Spiral and while Christian dealt with
Owen, Edge got the pin. *** 3/4

We go backstage to Matt Hardys office where he is with The Young Lions.

Hardy: "OK guys, what have you got."

Matthews: "Not a lot I'm afraid. Seems Fleisch cheated on an exam when he was
fifteen, once stole some apples from his neighbours garden, used to smoke
joints in college, it's all petty stuff, nothing that would point to him
smashing a concrete block over your head."

York: "Yeah, we couldn't find anything here, though we did find this missing
completed copy of Edwin Drood while rummaging in his parents attic."

Matthews: "They were very cooperative. Want to hear how it ends?"

Hardy: "Not really, this isn't helpful at all. We're going to need a new
approach."

York: "How about forcing people at gunpoint to cooperate like they do in New
York?"

Matthews: "Or shining a lightbulb in their face, that's how all the great TV
detectives do it."

Hardy: "Nah, I'll get back to you on where we'll go next. Nice try guys. Here,
have this cheese."

York: "Hey, this is good stuff, where'd you get it?"

Hardy: "You know, I don't know. It showed up on my desk this afternoon in a
basket with a bottle of wine and a note about next Saturdays Rumble."

Matthews: "Hmmm, there's a mystery to be solved."

Hardy: "Two actually, you guys can find out who pinched the wine."

Matthews: "Come Officer York, we've got a criminal mastermind to find."

The Lions bound out of the room yelling their inane tune as we go to Michael
Cole.

Cole: "Raven, up next, the big one with Don Muraco."

Raven: "So Muraco, you're angry about Revenge is Sweet when I pinned you,
1-2-3, and I won the heavyweight title, not you, that's fine. You want to take
out Jerry Lynn, you're angry at him, you want to get him out of wrestling for
good and keep him off this show, that's fine too. Hey, you want to take a shot
at me tonight Muraco, be my guest. But you should know where I'm coming from,
they say I'm on the same wavelength as Jerry Lynn. You know, I might not be
the brooding psychopath he is, but when I want to be, I can unleash a similar
amount of ferociousness on you, so let me promise you Don Muraco, what
happened at Wrestlefest happened, but lightning rarely strikes twice. And Jeff,
if you stop writing drivel long enough to intefere in this one, expect a one
way trip to an evenflow of suffering. But it's nothing, NOTHING, to what I
have in store for you Muraco."

Cole: "A confident Raven, ready to go, let's head back to the ring."

Raven vs Don Muraco

Don Muraco and Raven was always going to be close. Muraco touting himself as
near unbeatable and Raven being the one man to prove he wasn't completely
unbeatable several months ago. As expected, the two took it tooth and nail,
and the match ended up being an all out brawl, with both men throwing the rule
book out of the window to the point where the official got sick of it and just
let them settle their differences. Indeed, they spent a large portion of the
match on the outside. Jeff Hardy became a useful addition at ringside for
Muraco and it ended up being two on one, leaving Raven to use a steel chair as
his own partner, wiping out Jeff. In his victory five months ago, Raven had
become the first man ever to knock Muraco off his feet. Since then, a few
others have emulated that, most noteably Jerry Lynn last month, but on this
night, Muraco found himself knocked down several times, such was the hatred the
two men share for one another. Upon getting him down once more in the ring,
Raven signalled for a finish and set Muraco up for the Evenflow, only for a
recovering Jeff to grab Ravens foot and prevent him from hitting the move.
Raven acted quickly and yanked Jeff onto the apron, before whipping him into
the ringpost. As Raven stood on the second turnbuckle to say something to
Hardy, Muraco recovered, and as Raven turned around, Muraco lifted him up into
the Tombstone piledriver and Raven wasn't getting up from that. Muraco wins it
and following his huge win last month over Jerry Lynn, he's followed it up by
defeating Raven. Quite categorically, Muraco is running out of people he hasn't
beaten.

We go backstage to see Jody Fleisch and Rhyno walking down the corridor

Fleisch: "Was that something Rhyno? Were we great or what?"

Rhyno: "We were, these people love you Jody, I'm not surprised after what we
did out... what the hell?"

The two walk into their dressing room to see John Cena standing at a table
upon which stands a large case, sitting open, full of several totally random
items.

Cena: "Welcome to the Unnecessarily Evil Bazaar gentlemen, I've got all sorts
of things you might be interested in, all sorts of wares to make this trip to
England special. Maybe I can interest you in - this replica Greg Valentine
robe, a giant novelty comb, a cheap bottle of Pouilly-Vinzelles, a rolex watch
perhaps..."

Fleisch: "A rolex?"

Cena: "Yeah... hey, isn't that a happy coincidence, on the same day you lose
yours, I'm offering one at a low low bargain price."

Fleisch: "Hey, this is pretty snazzy, just like my old one - how much?"

Cena: "Eleven THOUSAND dollars."

Fleisch: "HOW MUCH?!?"

Cena: "Sorry, but there's a profit to be had."

Fleisch: "Well... alright then."

Fleisch hands Cena a big wad of cash. Meanwhile Rhyno has taken an interest in
something else.

Rhyno: "Is this a Cyndi Lauper CD... uhhh, I mean a Megadeth CD, with a fake
cover to make it look like Cyndi Lauper?"

Cena: "Sure is, only sixty dollars."

Rhyno looks a little perturbed, but pays up anyway.

Fleisch: "You know this watch has the exact same scratch on it that my old one
had. You cheated me you bastard!"

Rhyno: "Yeah, me too, this is my original CD t... oh wait, it's just a blank
CD... HEY!"

Cena: "Sorry guys, buyer beware."

Cena slams his case shut, grabs it and sprints out of the room, into the
distance.

Fleisch: "Now that was just unnecessarily evil."

We switch to Michael Cole with an exhausted, but victorious, Don Muraco.

Cole: "Don Muraco, another victory."

Muraco: "I told you Cole, never doubt me, I am practically unbeatable, and now
the only blemish on my record has been wiped out for good. So let me send a
warning to everyone in the DWF, I will go through each and every one of you
one more time until Matt Hardy grows some balls and gives me my title shot."

Muraco looks confident as we head back to the ring for our main event curtain
raiser.

Ricky Morton vs Phil LaFon

This, of course, was originally going to be a tag title match before Furnas got
injured, but oh well, we've got five extra minutes to kill... In a short match, Ricky
looked good but upon missing a superkick after LaFon ducked, he turned around
to get planted with a fishermans suplex by LaFon which was enough for the win. *** 1/4

We go backstage for one last time to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Dynamite Kid, tonight is the night. You've had title shots before, but
none as big as this one."

Dynamite: "You know Michael Cole, I've been fighting in the DWF for four long
years, trying to make a name for myself and trying to win that world title, yet
every time I get my shot, something or someone gets in my way. Time and time
again, I've fallen short and I'm sick of it, but no more. On this night, in
that ring, in front of MY people, you cannot beat me Billy Kidman, and all the
lawsuits and litigations in the world you can throw at me can't change that. On
this night, even if it's only for one night, I am the better wrestler than you
and my destiny is to become the heavyweight champion of the world. On this
night, Billy."

Cole: "Dynamite Kid, about to take on his biggest challenge to date, let's head
back to the ring."

Billy Kidman (c) vs Dynamite Kid (world heavyweight title)

Dynamite started off on a frenzy, taking down Kidman time and time again.
Kidman tried to bail out, but Dynamite kept chasing and kept taking him down.
Finally Steve Corino made his way out, just as Dynamite kept the pressure on
in the ring. Kidman was staggered into the corner and Dynamite set him up for
one of his patented superplexes. The move was hit and Kidman sunk into the mat
in the middle of the ring, the match still only a few minutes old. Dynamite
went for the cover but as the ref started the count, Corino reached in and
yanked Dynamite out and took him down with a clothesline. Corino stood above
the fallen Dynamite and the official was quick to react by throwing Corino out
(helped by several more officials bustling Corino out) and then giving the
signal for the match to continue. By now, Kidman had recovered and Dynamite had
lost that initial early momentum. What followed was a much more evenly matched
contest. Dynamite was slowed down but worked over Kidman fantastically while
Kidman was able to use his speed to trap Dynamite and take advantage. Kidman
would eventually wear Dynamite down. Dynamite made an error in judgement and
went to powerbomb Kidman. That ended up with Dynamite face down on the mat, and
Kidman saw his chance to head upstairs for the SSP. With what he had left in
him, Dynamite pulled himself out of the way. Dynamite was now starting to come
back. Clarence Mason at ringside saw the danger and lept up to the apron with
the intent of hooking up Dynamite. Dynamite was quickest and pulled away from
Mason and whipped Kidman headfirst into Mason. Kidman was down and now it was
Dynamites turn to head to the top, albeit slowly. Finally he stood perched on
the top and lept off, nailing the Swandive and surely enough, the referee
counted to three, and we have ourselves a brand new world champion. The
jubilation on Dynamites face and the faces of everyone in the crowd signalled
a memorable moment in the history of the DWF. The only question now is how long
will it all last... ***** Seriously, what else would you expect of this show?
Snabbit888Posted on 10/04/04 at 22:22:08

CENA/RHYNO/FLEISCH PROMO

*** Standard backstage promo to start.  Rhyno likes Cindi Lauper?  Gross.

PITBULLS/SHAMROCK VS. FLEISCH/CENA/RHYNO

*** I figured with Jody's involvement they'd get the win.  Not a bad opener, but nothing too magical.

ARMSTRONG PROMO

*** Wow... I didn't know about the scissors thing previously. That's awesome.  I may have to steal that bit (or something like it) some time. :)

ARMSTRONG VS. STORM

*** Glad to see Armstrong retain, and this feud has room to continue.  Good stuff.

ANGLE PROMO

*** Very strong interview here.  Angle is a real asshole, which is good.  Very well done.

CHAVO/LOW-KI/KASH/MYSTERIO VS. LOS GUERREROS

*** Los Guerreros lie, cheat, and steal a victory.  I'm sadly left uncaring.  My apologies.

JERICHO PROMO

*** DORKUS MALORKUS!  What a wonderful phrase.  Another strong promo.  This is my favorite angle you have going right now.

JERICHO VS. ANGLE

*** Great match here with the expected result.  But in your post-match comments, why are you breaking from mark to smark?  Argh. :)

KIDMAN/CORINO PROMO

*** I love this team.  Not sure what I think of the Clarence Mason involvement, but this is an awesome heel team.  You've done an excellent job of making Kidman legit.

CORINO VS. STORM

*** I love when a match unexpectedly gets such a high rating.  Not that Storm or Corino are bad by any means, but you don't expect a classic from them.  I love Lance Storm, but glad to see Corino retain.

*** Standard stuff here.  Weird to see HHH in his mid-90's WWF role.

BENOIT PROMO

*** Benoit's a dick.  Woo.

BENOIT VS. MALENKO VS. TANAKA

*** Big time win for Masato Tanaka.  And boy does Benoit look foolish, tapping out to his own hold.

You make a good point with the mark/smark stuff. Since I'm always open to suggestions, for PPV's in the future, I'll save any "smark" remarks outside of "woah, that match ruled/sucked" for the end of the card. Cheers for the feedback.
