Card rating: *** 1/4

- La Parka and Miller put on such a great show that they were put in a match together again but this time with "The Japanese Buzzsaw" as well. The fans were really into this match throughout the first ring of the best to when the bell was called. La Parka danced for the crowd, Tajiri kicked the hell out of Miller, and Miller kept going for La Parka. A feud is in the works for La Parka and Miller. After the match La Parka continued to dance but both Miller and Tajiri hit a double superkick to La Parka's head, causing the medical team to come to the rescue. La Parka suffered a mild concussion but isn't backing down, as he has challenged both men again.

- Abyss basically killed Abismo Negro. The match was not supposed to take place but was added at the last minute to get Abyss on the card. The creative team figured to have Abyss fight the "Black Abyss" as that is what Abismo Negro means. Abismo Negro never had a chance but the fans loved to see him receive the Black Tiger Bomb.

- Jerry Lynn and Haysbusa went well but a few botches occurred.

- Eddie Guerrero continued his step up the ladder as he beat Diamond Dallas Page. Both men are on the way to being top drawls in the promotion, but a lot of the men have no direction this early in the promotion's career.

- The Dudley's are back to working their way up to a shot at the tag titles. The fans and wrestling critics thought they were the ones to win tag gold, but Dustin Neal has put the titles into the hands of Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. The Dudley's will face another team on the next show, and if they can manage another win, Neal has promised to give them another shot at the tag titles.

- Vader and Sabu battled it out as if they had been feuding for years. Vader was everyone's top pick but Sabu won via a draw. Vader is a top pick to be the next holder of Sabu's hardcore title. If Vader can beat Cactus Jack next week, he'll receive another title shot, but if Cactus Jack wins he'll be receiving the shot at Sabu's title.

- Speaking of Cactus Jack, him and Christ Benoit put on the match of the night! Dustin Neal said that Chris Benoit is the future of this promotion and that he is proud that he has some form of gold around his waist. Benoit is scheduled to take on Taz next week.

- D'Lo put on another stellar match. Jericho and Brown seem to be starting a nice fued, but everyone is wondering how long D'Lo will manage to hold his prized title. Jericho has really been after the television title, and from the way it looks, D'Lo better be at his best every match to beat Jericho.

- What could of been an amazing match turned a little sour when Ric Flair had to stick his nose into the match. Tanaka kept getting distracted, and Flair managed to strike Tanaka across the back with a chair, allowing Batista to finish him off with a power bomb. Batista is scheduled to face Eddie Guerrero next week in a non-title match.

Well Benoit rules, but we knew that already. Cactus, like Tanaka and Taz the week before, stepped up after a dissapointing match. Abyss too for that. OK, * 3/4 might not be much at first glance, but for a two minutes squash, that's pretty impressive. Speaking of Cactus, I suspect Vader will come good next week, but we'll see.

You're worried about Eddie not having direction but if he beats Batista next week then he'll instantly have something going for him as he'll surely be in line for a title shot.

Good to see D-Lo doing so well too. OK, so Jericho jobbed, but the end justifies the means. Nice work.

Dustin,
 Awesome card.. You got some really good talent. My question though is how did the Texas Death Match end in a draw?

  Can't wait for the next card, go Vader!!!
