WWAW Tuesday Turbo
3/6/2001
(We see clips of ASW, including Jericho's win over Mantaur, and footage of the tournament.)
("Neckbone" brings us into the The Spectrum in Pennsylvania for Turbo! The fans are excited and
are ready for some action! Immediately, President Jake Ryder comes out to an explosive pop!)
Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the WWAW, Jake Ryder!
(Ryder climbs into the ring and shakes hands with Robert Smith, and then asks for his mic.)
Ryder: Hello! Tonight should be a great night for wrestling, but I have a few things I want to
get out of my way before this show begins. First off, I want to address the situation with Jeff
Jarrett.
(Boos for Jarrett)
Ryder: Since Deadly Sins, in my opinion, Jarrett has been causing nothing but trouble. Him and
Norton are about to tear down the foundations of WWAW, but there is one thing I would like to
interject into this feud. See, Jarrett won't be facing Norton tonight.
(Boos)
Ryder: Instead, I have scheduled an opponent that I know Jarrett has seen before. However,
I want to keep the suspense in this arena, so I'll keep that to myself until the main event.
Because, let's face it, Jarrett deserves to get an asswhoopin', and that's what this guy is
going to deliver to him. Now, some of you may be asking why I am being so mean to Jarrett...
well, let me take you back about 2 months earlier, on All Star Wrestling. Roll that footage.
(We see a VERY familiar clip of Jarrett's guitar rampage from ASW. Ryder voices the clip over.)
Ryder: See, after the fluke of a match between Norton and Jarrett, I came down to the ring to have a talk with Jarrett. However, he refused...and hit ME with a guitar.
(Clip ends and we go back to Ryder.)
Ryder: See, that was your first mistake Jeff. Because I have my revenge planned for you tonight. You better hope you can survive after tonight, because you gotta put that title of yours on the line later in the month. Oh, and this match tonight is a non-title match, but, I think it won't matter, because I don't think you'll be walking after this match, Jarrett.
(Ryder walks off as the crowd explodes.. we go to Trent Rutherford's announcing position.)
Rutherford: WOW! That's a big match for tonight! Jarrett will take on someone that WWAW President Jake Ryder has signed to a contract and hired to take out Jarrett! We have a lot more planned for tonight, so let's go to the ring for the first match!
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...
("The Kings" plays, and the crowd gives a few cheers to Jesse James. He starts to come down towards the ring.)
Smith: Jesse James!
(James slides into the ring, waiting for his opponent.)
Smith: And his opponent...
("Greyhound Pt. 2" plays, and Rikishi comes down to boos.)
Smith: Rikishi!
(Rikishi goes into the ring, and the match begins!)
Jesse James
vs.
Rikishi
The Good: James, who hasn't really been active as of late, didn't show any signs of rust in the ring against Rikishi.
The Bad: Rikishi and James can't work too well together.
The Finish: James couldn't handle the bad man, and Rikishi finished him off with a side suplex.
Rikishi Phatu pinned Jesse James after a side suplex in 0:13:14.
Rating: 3/4*
Rutherford: Rikishi picks up a win over Jesse! Now, I have word that a limo has pulled up outside the arena!
(We go backstage, where a limo, believe it or not, has pulled up outside the arena. The camera goes to the door, and it opens, and out steps...Jarrett! Jacob Goodman runs up to him and tells him of the news.)
Goodman: Jarrett! Jarrett! President Ryder signed you to a match.
Jarrett: That's nice, slapnut, who am I facing?
Goodman: That's just it! We don't know!
Jarrett: ...Damn it. Time to have a talk with the high chief slapnut.
(Jarrett walks off as Goodman follows. We go back to the arena.)
Rutherford: I don't think that Jarrett is too happy with Ryder for scheduling that match. Let's go to the ring for the next match.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Natural One" plays, as Roadkill comes down to the ring to little reaction from the crowd.)
Smith: Roadkill!
(Roadkill enters the ring, waiting for..)
("Come With Me" plays and Corino comes down to the ring.)
Smith: Steve Corino!
(Corino enters the ring and gets ready for the match.)
Roadkill
vs.
Steve Corino
The Good: The amazing athletic ability of Roadkill and the athleticism of the King of Old School, Corino, made for a good match.
The Bad: It could have been a lot better...
The Finish: Corino reversed a setup for the Amish Splash with the Old School Expulsion for the win.
Steve Corino pinned Roadkill with the Old School Expulsion in 0:11:34.
Rating: *
After the match, Corino grabbed a mic.
Corino: That match was no problem, but I have something on my mind I want to get out. Everyone's been creamin' over this guy Chavo Guerrero Jr. What the hell? This guy SUCKS! I want to puke when I see him wrestle. He looks like a midget, and I can't wait to get in the ring with him. Of course, that'll be in the finals of the tournament, when I beat the hell out of Norton and some other jabroni.
(Disturbed's "The Game" plays... and it's Chavo! With new music! Chavo runs down to the ring, and Corino is ready for him! And there they go! Rights and left fly as the crowd goes crazy! Security runs down, and, to the boos of the crowd, separate Corino and Chavo! What an explosion! Chavo gets a mic, however.)
Chavo: You want to talk ****?! Come get some of me!
(Corino gets pissed, but security holds him back as "The Game" cues back up again.)
Rutherford: That was a great showdown! I think that Corino and Chavo should both watch their backs, because there could be some major screws going to each person if they don't watch what the hell they are doing... we're going to break.. but first, let me remind you, later tonight, it's Jeff Jarrett facing a mystery man! Who is it? We'll find out later tonight, all on Turbo!
(Commercials)
(We go backstage to President Ryder's office. Ryder is on the phone.)
Ryder: Ok, so he's on his way? Alright. Thank you, take care.
(Ryder hangs up, and a banging is heard on the door.)
Ryder: Come in.
(Jarrett opens the door and goes to his desk.)
Jarrett: What the hell are you thinking?!?! Don't you understand that I'm the best damn WWAW World Champ---
Ryder: Calm down. You aren't defending your title.
Jarrett: DAMN-- Oh... thanks, Prez.
(Jarrett walks off.)
Ryder: Damn overreactive bastard.
(We go back to the arena, for the next match.)
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Judgement Day" plays, and Perry Saturn comes out.)
Smith: Perry Saturn!
Rutherford: Tonight, WWAW Tuesday Turbo is brought to you by... Dairy Queen... Hot Eats, Cool Treats, only at Dairy Queen...Doritos...now with even Cheesier Nachos!...and Burger King, the home of the Whopper...Burger King, where you can have it your way.
(Perry Saturn enters the ring, as "Anthem for the Year 2000" plays and the crowd goes crazy for the entrance of Jeff Hardy.)
Smith: And his opponent... Jeff Hardy!
(Jeff runs down to the ring and enters the ring for the next match.)
Perry Saturn
vs.
Jeff Hardy
The Good: The crowd was electric for Jeff's aerial moves, and it doesn't seem he was affected by the absence of his partner, who would, later in the night, fight Danny Doring.
The Bad: Perry Saturn wasn't too great. At all.
The Finish: Jeff hit a impressive Rocker Dropper, and then hit the Swanton Bomb for the win!
Jeff Hardy pinned Perry Saturn with the Swanton Bomb in 0:09:41.
Rating: ***
Rutherford: That was a great match! Now, let's go backstage, where I understand Jacob Goodman is with Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Backstage Interview
(Jacob Goodman is with Chavo Guerrero Jr.)
Goodman: Thanks, Trent. I'm here with Chavo Guerrero Jr., who, later in the night, will try to defeat Goldberg, a man he could not beat a few weeks earlier. Chavo, what do you plan to do differently to pick up the win tonight?
Chavo: I plan on attacking his every defense. Goldberg, after our last match, I KNOW you. I know what moves you use, and when you use them. And I plan on taking advantage of that knowledge. You're going down, Goldberg.
Goodman: What about Steve Corino?
Chavo: What about him? I don't care about him, he can go to hell if it makes him happy, I don't give a **** about him.
(Chavo walks off.)
Rutherford: Chavo will face Goldberg later tonight, and it should be a great match! Now, let's go to the ring for the next match.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Where The River Flows" plays, as Kanyon comes down to the ring to a large amount of boos.)
Smith: Chris Kanyon!
(Kanyon slides into the ring, as "Blue Monday" by Orgy plays. Michael Modest comes out to new music, and a fresh round of boos! He's got a mic.)
Modest: I'm glad to be here, in Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh. Wow. This town sucks.
(Boos)
Modest: First you have the Pirates... then you have the (laugh) Penguins. Mario Lemieux is a joke.
(Giant amount of boos)
Modest: It's the truth!
(Kanyon goes over to grab a mic.)
Kanyon: Why don't you shut the hell up and wrestle?
(Crowd pops)
Modest: You want some? I'm gonna destroy you, Kanyon.
(The crowd boos as Modest runs into the ring and fights with Kanyon to begin the match.)
Chris Kanyon
vs.
Michael Modest
The Good: The crowd chanted "Modest Sucks" many times during the match, getting Modest a fire under his behind and attacking Kanyon, who defended the Pittsburgh fans. Kanyon fired back with some innovative moves of his own, that are rarely ever done anymore.
The Bad: Not much at all.
The Finish: Michael Modest hit a power slam and went for the Air Raid Crash, but Kanyon got momentum and went up and over Modest, turned him around, kicked him in the gut, hit a vertical facebuster, and went for the cover! ONE, TWO, THREE! KANYON WINS!
Chris Kanyon pinned Michael Modest after a vertical facebuster in 0:10:30.
Rating: * 3/4
After the match, the crowd goes crazy as Modest has a fit. Kanyon celebrates with the fans, as he's a good guy for a change.
Rutherford: Kanyon gets a big win over Michael Modest! The fans here don't like Modest, so, naturally, they really exploded when Kanyon won! Up next is a #1 Contender Tournament Match, so don't go away!
(Commercials)
(We come back to the ring.)
Smith: This match is a Round 1 match in the WWAW #1 Contender Tournament, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Anthem For The Year 2000" plays, and Matt Hardy comes out to cheers with Lita!)
Smith: Accompanied by Lita...Matt Hardy!
(Matt and Lita go into the ring and gets the crowd pumped up. "Natural One" plays, and Danny Doring comes out to a little less cheers.)
Smith: And his opponent, Danny Doring!
(Doring enters the ring and gets ready for the match.)
WWAW #1 Contender Tournament
Round 1
Matt Hardy
vs.
Danny Doring
The Good: The crowd got in to it, thanks to encouragement from Lita. Matt and Doring went back and forth, and it didn't seem like either man was going to give up.
The Bad: Nah, nothing bad.
The Finish: Doring whips Matt into the ropes, but Matt reverses it and hits a dropkick on Doring. Doring comes back off the ropes, however, and hits a clothesline on Matt as he gets up! Doring picks up Matt, and hits a piledriver. Doring calls for the Danaconda, but Lita jumps up on the apron and distracts the ref. Doring hits the Danaconda and goes for the cover, but there is no ref to count! Doring gets up and tries to get the ref to get to his senses, but Lita slaps Doring! From behind, Matt low blows Doring and hits the Twist of Fate! Matt goes for the cover as Lita goes back off the apron, and the ref counts the three!
[WWAW #1 Contender Tournament - Round 1]: No-Time-Limit-Match:
Matt Hardy pinned Danny Doring with the Twist of Fate in 0:09:55.
Rating: ** 1/4
After the match, Danny Doring got pissed that he lost, and when Matt and Lita wasted too much time celebrating, Danny Doring attacked both of them from behind. Doring threw Matt into the ring, hit a vicious piledriver, and hit the Danaconda! The crowd booed as the poor loser Doring left the ring, with a smug look on his face. He wasn't done, however, as he ran over, grabbed Lita, picked her up, and dropped her across the guardrail! Lita slumped over like a dead person and Doring celebrated his "victory" and then left.
Rutherford: What a bastard! Doring might have injured Lita severly with that move! And Matt is still out in the middle of the ring! Let's go backstage with Jacob Goodman.
Backstage Interview
(Goodman is with Scott Norton.)
Goodman: I'm here with Scott Norton. Norton, tonight, the man who you want a piece of is facing someone who hasn't even wrestled yet in the promotion! What are your thoughts?
Norton: I don't care. The more this person wears down Jarrett, the less time I'll have to waste when I kill him. But if this guy comes up to me and gets in my face, I'll have to kick his ass. And that's just the facts.
(Norton walks off, and we go back to the ring, where Matt has gotten back to his feet and is surrounding Lita, not to mention a group of EMT's. They load her on the stretcher, and carry her away with Matt following.)
Rutherford: This is very bad, folks. Lita could be hurt very badly. Let's go back to that moment.
(We see a clip of the move that Lita took, a body press drop onto the guardrail, making her head almost whiplash off of the guardrail.)
Rutherford: That's horrible. Most male wrestlers can take that, but you just don't do that to a woman. I'm sorry for that, folks, we will most likely see to it that Doring doesn't get away with this travesty.
(The President walks down to the ring to a big pop!)
Rutherford: What is he doing here? It's the President of WWAW again, Jake Ryder!
(Ryder has a mic as he enters the ring.)
Ryder: This should be a very interesting match. Two of the best teams the WWAW has to offer will be facing off tonight. However, to ref this match, we don't need just a regular referee. I'll introduce him later, but I'll let Robert here announce the teams first.
(Ryder hands the mic over to Smith.)
Smith: This match is a non-title tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
("Guilty" plays, and Kronic comes down to the ring to a round of boos.)
Smith: Kronic!
(Kronic enters the ring together, and waits for their opponents.)
Smith: And their opponents...
("House of Horrors" plays, and the arena goes dark, and then a spotlight focuses over the entryway...and the crowd gives a mixed reaction to Vampiro and the Great Muta! Vamp and Muta come down to the ring.)
Smith: They are the WWAW World Tag Team Champions, Vampiro and the Great Muta!
(They enter the ring, and, as Kronic stands on the outside, Vampiro and Muta spit mist at the same time! The mist shines in the spotlight that followed the team all the way down to the ring, and the lights come back on, and then Ryder gets the mic again.)
Ryder: Now, let me introduce our guest referee. In World Championship Wrestling, he was a 3 time World Champion, a 6 time Television Champion, a US Heavyweight Champion, but the most important credential, and the reason I brought him in, a 10 time tag team champion... BOOKER T!
("Party Up" by DMX plays, and the crowd explodes as Booker T comes out in a ref shirt! He comes down to the ring, shaking hands with fans as he enters the ring. The bell rings...)
Non-Title Match
with Special Guest Referee Booker T
Kronic
vs.
Vampiro and The Great Muta
The Good: Booker T was fair, and the match was amazing, with Vamp and Muta hitting impressive high-flying and martial arts moves, and Kronic hitting the power moves to match! There were a lot of close falls here, and both teams went all out to capture a win!
The Bad: The finish left something to be desired from a great match like this.
The Finish: Kronic hits the High Times on both Vampiro and Muta, but the Perfect Event runs down and attacks Kronic! AND BOOKER T LETS IT GO! Vamp gets to his feet, and hits Bryan Clark with the Nail In The Coffin!
Booker T counts the pin... ONE, TWO, THREE!!!!
No-Time-Limit-Non-Title-Match with Special Referee Booker T:
Vampiro and The Great Muta defeated Kronic when Vampiro pinned Clark with the
Nail In the Coffin in 0:17:53.
Rating: * 1/4
The crowd goes crazy as Booker T raises the hands of Vamp and Muta! The Perfect Event runs off, with Kronic chasing close behind!
Rutherford: Let's go to the back of the arena, where, from what I understand, Matt and Jeff are helping Lita onto the ambulance.
(We go backstage.)
EMT: We ran a few tests on her, and we have concluded that she needs to go to the hospital right away.
Jeff: Alright, that's fine.
Matt: Yeah.
EMT: Do you two want to come with?
Both: No.
EMT: Alright, we'll keep you posted.
(The EMT goes to the ambulance and drives away. As Jeff and Matt walk off, from behind a couple of cars, Doring and Roadkill show up!! Doring and Roadkill attack Jeff and Matt, and throw them through the car windows! Doring and Roadkill laugh all the way back to the locker room, as the ambulance rounds the corner!)
Rutherford: HOLY..! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
(Commercials)
(As we return from commercials, we go immediately to the parking lot, where more EMT's showed up!)
Rutherford: Moments ago, the Hardyz were loaded into a second ambulance. Goodman got words with Doring and Roadkill in their locker room.
Backstage Interview
(Doring and Roadkill are getting packed to leave the arena, when Goodman enters the room.)
Goodman: Why did you do that to the Hardyz?
Doring: Why did we do that? Because we were tired of them. They wanted to be rebels in the WWAW, they wanted to be cool. They didn't understand that we were just too damn cool for them. We gave them a reality check back there.
(Doring and Roadkill storm off, leaving Goodman with a perplexed look on his face.)
Rutherford: Whether they had a motive or not, it doesn't make their attacks on Lita and the Hardyz right, damnit! Let's go to the ring for the next match.
(We go to the ring with Robert Smith.)
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Sleep Now In The Fire" by Rage Against the Machine plays, and Chris Jericho comes out to a big pop! He comes down to the ring, and slides in.)
Smith: Chris Jericho!
(Jericho waits for his opponent...)
Smith: And his opponent...
("Fuel" plays, and the crowd explodes as Norton comes down to the ring!)
Smith: Scott Norton!
(Norton enters the ring for the match.)
Chris Jericho
vs.
Scott Norton
The Good: This match was a straight out rumble. The crowd was chanting "Norton" at times, but the others were chanting "Jericho"! Whatever Jericho hit, Norton countered, it seemed, and vice versa. For a long time, there was no clear winner in sight.
The Bad: Nothing.
The Finish: Both men were worn out from getting thrown around. Finally, Jericho went for his double powerbomb, but Norton easily backdropped out of it, and hit a colossal...gutwrench suplex as Jericho got to his feet. Norton went for the cover. ONE, TWO, THREE!
Scott Norton pinned Chris Jericho after a gutwrench suplex in 0:12:56.
Rating: ** 1/4
After the match, Norton celebrated. However, Michael Modest came down and attacked Jericho as he was down! Norton didn't take kindly to this stealing of spotlight, and as Modest turned around to continue his assault, he ran into Norton, who booted him in the gut and hit the Powerbomb on him! The crowd went crazy, and Norton walked off.
Rutherford: Why did Modest attack Jericho? I'm sure we'll get some answers soon enough. During the match, I recieved word that Doring and Roadkill left the building. However, I understand that Jeff Jarrett met with the Perfect Event, 2 of the 3 wrestlers not participating in tonight's card. We caught up with that meeting and managed to get some of it. Let's roll that footage.
(We go to footage of the backstage meeting between Jarrett and Perfect Event.)
Jarrett: Listen guys, Ryder has it in for me. Whoever this guy is must be one tough mother******. I want to be sure that you have my back should something go wrong.
Stasiak: Definetly, Jeff, we'll be there if anything goes wrong to you.
Jarrett: Be ready. It's bad enough I have to deal with slapnuts like Norton, but now I gotta deal with this guy, and I don't even know who he is!
Stasiak: Don't worry, everything should be under control.
Jarrett: Good.
(We go back to ringside.)
Rutherford: Well, the Perfect Event has Jarrett's back, but will that duo be enough to stop Norton from invading Jarrett's match and attacking him? We'll just have to see later tonight.
(We go to the ring.)
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("We Be Clubbin'" plays, and Buff Bagwell comes down to the ring to a fair amount of cheers. He enters the ring.)
Smith: Buff Bagwell!
And his opponent...
("Machinehead" plays, and Mantaur comes down to a big amount of boos. Mantaur isn't pleased by these boos, and makes sure the crowd knows that he is displeased. Mantaur enters the ring, and Bagwell immediately attacks him, starting the match!)
Buff Bagwell
vs.
Mantaur
The Good: Feh. Yeah right.
The Bad: Mantaur is too slow to keep up with the energetic Bagwell, making for a very sloppy match. And Bagwell isn't too good himself. They really stinked up the place, which is bad, considering that the next match is a very well-hyped tournament match.
The Finish: After being thrown around a little bit, Buff tried to get some fire going, but couldn't get to the Blockbuster. The fans weren't happy, and started chanting unpleasent things which can't be repeasted in this report at Mantaur. He got very pissed, and absolutely went off on Bagwell. First whipping Bagwell into the turnbuckle and then splashing him, hard. Then as Bagwell came out, Bagwell got a nice powerslam from the 450 pound man. Mantaur then went up to the second rope and hit a devastating body splash. After this, he picked up Bagwell, and then hit a brainbuster on him, and following it up with the Stampede. The crowd booed as Mantaur got the cover and the win.
Mantaur pinned Buff Bagwell with the Stampede in 0:11:54.
Rating: 1/2*
After the match, Mantaur grabbed the mic.
Mantaur: I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS KIND OF **** ANYMORE!!! GOLDBERG, GET OUT HERE!!!
("Crush 'Em" immediately cued up, and Goldberg came running down to the ring. Mantaur and Goldberg beat the holy hell out of each other, and Goldberg got the slight advantage. However, as he went for the spear, a security person jumped in and got nailed with it, sending the guard back into the turnbuckle, whiplashing the guard's head off the turnbuckle. Mantaur took advantage of the mistake, and clubbed Goldberg in the back of the head, and then hit the Stampede as the security got too much for Mantaur to fight off. The fans were booing and chanting "Mantaur Sucks", making Mantaur even more mad. However, the security got a hold of him and managed to drag him away.)
Rutherford: Mantaur has gone crazy! After this break, we'll have a WWAW #1 Contender Tournament Match, so don't go away!
(Commercials)
(We go to the ring, and Rutherford informs us of the situation.)
Rutherford: As the commercials were airing, Chavo ran down to the ring after Mantaur was carried away, and started attacking Goldberg, beginning their match!
***MATCH IN PROGRESS***
WWAW #1 Contender Tournament Match
Round 1
Bill Goldberg
vs.
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
The Good: Nothing, explained below.
The Bad: The horrible finish.
The Finish: Steve Corino came out of the crowd as Chavo was on the outside and the ref was distracted by Goldberg, who was having some authority problems. Corino hit the Old School Expulsion, and threw Chavo into the ring, who got a spear as he got up, and then the Jackhammer to give Goldberg the win and to advance him into the tournament!
[WWAW #1 Contender Tournament - Round 1]: No-Time-Limit-Match:
Bill Goldberg pinned Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Jackhammer in 0:03:57.
Rating: * 1/2
After the match, Corino attacked Chavo, but Goldberg speared him, and then walked off, celebrating his win with the fans.
Rutherford: Up next is Jeff Jarrett's non-title match.. but who is his opponent?!?! We don't know yet! Right now, let's go to Jacob Goodman, who has the second round matches for the tournament in perspective for us!
(We go to a pre-taped clip with Jacob Goodman.)
Goodman: Hello, here is the schedule for the tournament matches in the second round. On ASW this Friday, it will be the best wrestler in WWAW, record-wise, Steve Corino, against the beast Scott Norton. Also, Chris Kanyon will face Buff Bagwell! On Superstars Saturday, it will be Rikishi vs. Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy vs. Bill Goldberg...! It should be a very interesting next few days for the WWAW fans and locker room!
(We go back to ringside.)
Rutherford: Let's go to the ring for the introductions of the main event.
Smith: This match is a non-title match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Cowboy" plays, and the crowd boos as Jeff Jarrett comes down to the ring with the Perfect Event! He has a guitar over his shoulder, and the WWAW World Title around his waist.)
Smith: He is the WWAW World Champion, Jeff Jarrett!
(Jarrett enters the ring and gives his guitar to Stasiak and his title to Palumbo and then awaits his opponent.)
Smith: And his opponent...
(It seems like an eternity, but finally, "Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill, the old theme for All Star Wrestling, kicks up... and the crowd is going crazy, assuming that this guy hired by Ryder is obviously someone who is going to beat the hell out of Jarrett... and... it's CHRIS BENOIT. The fans go crazy, apeshit, and loony all at the same time. Jarrett has a look of, for once, fear in his eyes, and Benoit saunters to the ring. He has a very serious look in his face, and it's clear he's going to be kicking some ass tonight. The Perfect Event, standing at ringside near the entryway, clear the way for Benoit, and Benoit enters the ring.)
Smith: Chris Benoit!
Non-Title Match
Jeff Jarrett
vs.
Chris Benoit
The Good: Are you kidding? This match was awesome. Jarrett and Benoit put on a show for the crowd, and they ate it all up, considering they were let down horribly by the previous 2 matches. Benoit nearly locked on the Crossface many times, and Jarrett almost hit the Stroke many times. However, they were so close, that the crowd gasped and "Ohh"'d whenever an attempt fell short.
The Bad: No..
The Finish: Benoit goes for the rolling German suplexes, but Jarrett elbows him before he gets one off, and then manages to hit a jawbreaker on Benoit. Jarrett picks up Benoit off the mat and into the air, and drops him on the turnbuckle. Jarrett scales the ropes, and goes for his top-rope DDT, but Benoit punches Jarrett off. Jarrett lands sideways, and Benoit gets to his feet... FLYING HEADBUTT! Benoit nails the shoulder of Jarrett, and both men are down... they both get to their feet at the same time... Jarrett hits a drop-toe hold on Benoit... Jarrett picks up Benoit for the Stroke... what the hell...Benoit with a rolling drop toe hold out of the Stroke into the Crippler Crossface! In the middle of the ring! Jarrett has nowhere to go! Here comes the Perfect Event! Benoit releases the Crippler Crossface! He attacks both members of the Perfect Event! There goes Stasiak over the top! And Palumbo! Jarrett is to his feet, and has his guitar! He swings... countered with another drop toe hold! Crossface! Jarrett taps immediately!
No-Time-Limit-Non-Title-Match:
Chris Benoit made Jeff Jarrett submit to the Crippler Crossface in 0:09:29.
Rating: ***
The crowd goes nuts as Benoit celebrates with the crowd. The Perfect Event enters the ring, however, and nails Benoit from behind. They double team Benoit.
"Fuel" plays, and Norton runs down to the ring, and clears the Perfect Event out. Norton checks on Benoit, and then sees that Jarrett has no one to help him. Norton picks up Jarrett... signals for the Powerbomb...but here comes Chris Kanyon! Kanyon clobbers Norton from behind with a steel pipe! Norton is out!! Jarrett has backup! Kanyon and Jarrett attack Norton as the show ends.
**END OF SHOW**
I will be starting work on ASW/Superstars/WIR later tonight.
