Notes:

This is what I've been working up to. The night started with a great match between Regal and Saturn, with Regal getting the win.
Next, I had to give Faarooq his rematch, but I left the title on Tajiri so that people would realize I'm bringing the Hardcore division into a new direction. They even had a better match than last time.
Next up, Edge and X-Pac fought in another great match. X-Pac got the win, but they both got elevated as I was trying to do.
Now I had Dean Malenko win back his Light heavy title from TAKA in yet ANOTHER great match. I tried to book this thing so it would just be awesome, and it turned out that way.
Jeff Hardy and Kanyon put on another great match for the Euro title, with Jeff Hardy retaining and Kanyon getting frustrated with his inability to get a WWF title.
Triple H ended his feud with Bradshaw by pinning him, but Bradshaw has already been elevated by HHH. I had to give Trip the win in order for him to keep his status as upper mid-card.
And finally, after so long, Rob Van Dam lost his IC title to Sean O'Haire! O'Haire and RVD put on one of three five star matches tonight, and it was really, REALLY good. Sean O'Haire finally gets his due, and RVD is ready for the next level!
Matt Hardy & Christian fought Eddie & Chavo for the Tag-Team titles, and they won! Matt & Christian rubbed it into Edge & Jeff's face after the match by going to their locker rooms and gloating about how they were better.
The next match put to end two things: the Booker/Benoit feud, and Booker's heel status. The match was recorded before the event, and only clips of all the endings were shown on the TitanTron to the crowd. The clips all together totalled around 23 minutes, which is still a long match. Benoit beat Booker in the four hour Iron Man match, and a tape will be released in a month of so of JUST that match. It was another five star bout.
And finally, the main event. The Chris Jericho return match, against Kurt Angle, for the WWF World title. It went almost 40 minutes, and was the final five star match. Jericho FINALLY won the WWF World title in the match, and the crowd hated it! However, after the match, Triple H, Booker T, Chris Benoit, and Kurt Angle all took turns beating down Jericho to the crowd's delight!
