Overall a solid show. I liked Rock's interaction with the Corporation. The only thing I didnt like was Helms winning.

Wrestling To The... MAX! Edition IV
-- The general feeling about WWF Vengeance among the WWF management is that the event was a success, and really set the paving way down for the Road to WrestleMania X-8 upon entering the year 2002. In the dirt-sheets, many admired the main event WWF Undisputed Championship match, bringing back memories from before the 'InVasion Angle cockup', but that the undercard lacked outside of the Hardcore Championship and Taker/Bigelow matches.
-- With Royal Rumble not for another six weeks, the World Wrestling Federation are planning the Christmas Eve edition of WWF RAW to involve every title being defended, as well as exposing the man behind booking The Rock's WWF Undisputed Championship defenses. Jim Cornette has been contacted, but has reportedly declined. Paul Heyman was considered, but Vince decided against it, being that Paul had only been 'fired' last month.
-- WWF have signed Paul London. Shawn Michaels was said to be the one persuading Vince McMahon to hire Paul. Paul will most likely train in Ohio Valley Wrestling for some time first.
-- WWF are going to bring up some newer talent from OVW, who feel have done as much as possible in the developmental territory, these include Randy Orton, The Prototype and the Haas Brothers.
-- Kane will most likely become involved in the center of the Chris Jericho and The Undertaker alliance.
-- Diamond Dallas Page's contract is up on January 1st, and Page is expected to be retiring soon, WWF are planning DDP vs The Undertaker for Christmas Eve edition of RAW, in a sendoff match for Page.
-- Stone Cold Steve Austin will be taking a bit of time off to sell Austin's failure from Vengeance against The Corporation. He will probably get involved with Goldberg, returning at Royal Rumble.

First things, I really like what you're doing with The Corporation. The Rock as a heel is awesome but him aligning with Vince after all he's done to Rock is kind of weird. Goldberg in WWF is great, even better that he's a heel. Since Austin is currently gone, I expect Triple H to challenge Rock for the Undisputed Title which I don't see a problem with. I'm glad you're giving Regal a push, as well. Bad ass Tazz is the best kind of Tazz there is; please give him the Intercontinental title and a push to the main event. I wonder why Christian cost Storm the match. Kane choking out Jericho is interesting, I wonder if Taker put Kane up to it. Great main event with Rock and Regal. Triple H coming in at the end is a realistic move.

World Wrestling Federation Presents... WWF SmackDown! Thurday 13th December 2001 Bakersville, California Aired on UPN- The opening video package for SmackDown airs, to the sound of "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson as it shows every WWF superstar, really. We go to the live arena where pyrotechnics go off and the crowd are booming for tonight's edition of WWF SmackDown from Bakersville! Michael Cole and Jerry "King" Lawler are seated at ringside as the two discuss the recent happenings in the World Wrestling Federation before moving on. - The theme of The Rock plays into the arena as the audience boo loudly, Rock coming out with the WWF Undisputed Championship belts over both arms, Rock talks into the microphone about how he's the one who has carried the World Wrestling Federation through the InVasion and this is how the audience treat him? Rock complains about how everybody used to appreciate him, but soon they got too tired of chanting 'Rocky' and chose to add another syllable, 'sucks' on the end. Rock talks trash about how since he beat "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he's been put in a tough situation, and that he wants to know who is making these decisions. The theme of Edge then played as Edge came out onto the rampway, Edge saying that he knows Rock doesn't know him because he's been too busy to let other talent have a spotlight! Edge tells us that tonight, he's been booked to face The Rock in a champion vs champion match for only the WWF Undisputed Championship! Rock flips out as Edge nods, leaving. = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #1: Rikishi defeated Test [/color] in 8:22. Rikishi and Test had a decent back-and-forth match here, in which both men traded blows and shots to the temple, Test going for his patented Big Boot and pumphandle slam in the early goings of the contest. Rikishi however, managed to repeatedly break out of the move, he hit a sweet stiff shuffle side kick at one point, I love how athletic Rikishi is, for a 420 pounder. Test hit an impressive pumphandle slam, but Rikishi barely kicked out, as Rikishi refused to go down to Test. Test missed the Big Boot, Rikishi kicked Test down into the corner and the Banzai Drop gave him the win! **1/2[/color] - Rikishi began to celebrate as Test rolled out of the ring, mainly thankful for having not received a Stinkface from the big Samoan. - We see Goldberg appear in the backstage area, as the crowd boo, Cole and Lawler boasting that he'll be here in the arena later on the show! - An advertisement for the Royal Rumble is shown, live on pay-per-view, Sunday 20th January 2002. - A replay of RAW, this past Monday is shown, featuring Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo getting a sneaky victory over the APA, as the Dudley Boyz' interview was also shown, featuring their open challenge for tag team turmoil at the Rumble. - Match #2: Spike Dudley and Billy Kidman defeated Japanese Entourage[/color] in 6:37. A nice tag team match here, to follow up, though it was pretty much used as a mere filler. Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo wandered down to ringside to join the commentary, it being a well-known fact that Spike and Kidman, TAKA and SHOICHI as well as Billy and Chuck were all in tag team turmoil on January 20th. Dudley was isolated, alot of athletic moves in the ring. Kidman eventually went up top and hit the impressive Shooting Star Press on SHOICHI for the win. **3/4[/color] - Spike Dudley and Billy Kidman began to celebrate as Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo suddenly came from behind, jumping the two cruiserweight babyfaces, leaving them laid out on the canvas! - We see Rob Van Dam as he is wandering around the backstage area, the audience cheering, as he gets a bottle of water, as he taps on Tazz's shoulder, asking 'short-stuff' if he could pass him a water. Tazz goes irate, RVD saying if Tazz wants to play it that way, he can meet him in the ring in a little bit! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- The theme of Goldberg played into the arena as the crowd began to boo for the man they call Goldberg! Goldberg came storming out in jeans and shades, walking down the rampway to a negative response. He climbs into the ring as some audience members [presumably WCW marks] began to chant his name, Goldberg beginning to talk about how he's chosen to take the night off of WWF television to try and pull "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's strings, because Goldberg knows as well as Austin does, that Goldberg is the man pulling the strings. Goldberg tells Austin that he's chosen not to come face-to-face with him because he knows that Austin is 'too good', so Goldberg states that he's taken more interest in suprisingly attacking Steve instead, just to show how weak Austin truly is! Goldberg announces that he's entered the Royal Rumble and that he will win on January 20th! - Match #3: Rob Van Dam defeated Tazz by disqualification[/color] in 9:24. Both of these men put on one heck of a display, both men showcasing some of the best moves I've seen, if Michael Cole wasn't there, it would of definately got a four-star rating. Tazz grappled with Van Dam, just pounding him with his numerous suplexes. RVD did some ruthless kicks in return, his athleticism just dominating the match as well. A perfect blend of in-ring styles. Van Dam hit his rolling thunder but Tazz applied the Tazzmission upon RVD's impact. Van Dam covered Tazz however. The two continued to battle before RVD went for the Five Star Frog Splash but Tazz put a chair in the way! ***3/4[/color] - Rob Van Dam rolled around on the canvas in pain as Tazz grabbed the steel chair and picked RVD up, putting the chair to Van Dam's throat then driving the chair into the canvas! Tazz left as officials attended to RVD. - The APA are seen in their 'office' as the audience give them a nice little reaction. They discuss the tag team turmoil, discussing how dumb the Dudley Boyz must be to do that, knowing fully well that they are going to be entering. Faarooq laughs as Chris Jericho enters, Jericho demanding protection tonight. Bradshaw declines, asking them why a smug-ass idiot like him should demand protection. Faarooq tells Y2J to bring his master, The Undertaker because tonight there's gonna be an asskicking of Deadman Inc! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #4: The APA and X-Pac defeated The Undertaker, Chris Jericho and Raven[/color] in 7:40. This was a decent back-and-forth match as the bout was switched into a six-man tag team match during the commercial break. X-Pac made a return to the ring from a mini-injury sustained by TAJIRI, X-Pac got a good reaction as he's definately a fan favourite now. He focused on Raven here as Chris Jericho and The Undertaker didn't seem to be too close after what went down, getting into this match most likely. Bradshaw matched up with many lefts and rights against Undertaker. Raven took out Faarooq, a Raven Effect into the flooring outside of the ring! Jericho eventually got shoved by Taker, X-Pac hitting the X-Factor for the win! **3/4[/color] - The APA and X-Pac began to celebrate as X-Pac began to walk up the rampway, Undertaker standing in disgust, delivering a double Chokeslam to Bradshaw and Faarooq! Taker looked at Chris Jericho and grabbed him by the throat, tossing him across the ring before leaving the ring. - We see Kane watching a monitor in the backstage area, nodding his head at what just happened with Chris Jericho and The Undertaker. - We see Jonathan Coachman standing by with Edge as Coach asks Edge how confident he is going into tonight's WWF Undisputed Championship match, Edge saying that he's got nothing to lose, he has the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but tonight it isn't for his title, it's for The Rock's. Edge talks about how tonight he will shock the entire wrestling world, and the movie world when he defeats The Rock to become the second-ever WWF Undisputed Champion! - Match #5: The Dudley Boyz defeated Al Snow and Maven in a non-title match[/color] in 6:52. These two teams had a decent match, this was Maven's first appearance on WWF television since Survivor Series, in which he competed in the Immunity battle royal. The Dudley Boyz worked over the veteran, Snow as they isolated him, keeping him away from Maven, the rookie all full of fire. D-Von missed the WAZZUP headbutt, and Maven came in. He gave both men some rights and lefts, Stacy Keibler getting in the apron, looking before walking into a Bubba Bomb! **1/4[/color] - We see Edge and The Rock in seperate corridors as the main event is up next! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = = - Match #6: The Rock defeated Edge to retain the WWF Undisputed Championship[/color] in 13:57. These two men had an amazing display, just like Rock did with Steven Regal on RAW. The Rock traded shots with Edge in the early goings of the match, as Edge did quite well, hitting the nice spinning wheel kick I will continue to applaud him for, as well as Edge using many mat-wrestling skills, keeping Rock off of his feet. The in-ring psychology was sweet from what was shown. Edge hit his Edge-o-matic but Rock barely kicked out, Rock refusing to go down, Edge even trying the downward spiral as well as a Rock bottom of his own, Edge then applying a sharpshooter-like submission that he calls the Edgecator as Kurt Angle came rushing to the ring! Angle distracted Edge as Rock nailed the Rock Bottom, giving Rock the victory! ***1/2- The Rock begins to celebrate as Kurt Angle stomps away at the WWF Intercontinental Champion, Edge before Triple H rushes to the ring! He nails Angle in the gut with the sledgehammer and grabs Rock for a Pedigree but Rock slides out, escaping up the rampway as SmackDown goes off the air...[/center][/font]

Rock/Edge is a solid main event for SD. Ok opening match there. Guessing the winning cruisers could be getting into the serious tag title hunt. Figure you're building to Goldberg/Austin at Mania which would be awesome. RVD-Tazz is interesting as that goes back a while. Surprised that the better team lost the six-man tag, although it didn't come without problems. Rock winning was fine, and fine way to end the show.

-Rock/Edge is a great main event -Decent opener -Kidman winning with the SSP made that match worth it -I see Goldberg/Austin at 'Mania, which would be fantastic -RVD/Tazz was great, great ending too -Six man tag was ok -Interesting stuff with 'Taker/Jericho/Kane -Dudleys win is fine -Main event was great, loved that Edge got to shine here. Angle/Edge should be good if done right and loved that Rock barely got away to end the show
Decent SD, although I think you've had the Undisputed Title defended too often on free tv

Saturday 15th December 2001Match #1: Brock Lesnar defeated Crash Holly in 2:40. Brock Lesnar's WWF television in-ring debut. He dominated Crash and finished him with an F-5 [spinning face-first death valley driver] Match #2: Spike Dudley and Billy Kidman defeated Frank Paris and Bryan Danielson in 5:02. Awesome cruiserweight tag team match here. Danielson is a student of Shawn Michaels. Dudley Dog on Paris for the win. Match #3: Maven and Al Snow defeated Japanese Entourage in 6:58. This was a decent tag team main event, very back and forth. Maven hit a nice tornado DDT on TAKA for the win. Sunday 16th December 2001Match #1: The Holly Cousins defeated The Maximo Brothers in 4:06. A decent squas here. The Maximos, Jose and Joel couldn't fend off Hardcore and Crash. Alabama Slam on Jose for the win. Match #2: Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo defeated Albert and Scotty 2 Hotty in 7:24. Decent main event here for Sunday Night Heat. Scotty got grounded throughout the match, Billy eventually hit the Fame-Asser for the win.

World Wrestling Federation Presents... WWF RAW Monday 17th December 2001 Lafayette, Louisiana Live on TNN [/color] - Highlights from last Monday's edition of RAW was shown, with The Rock being forced to defend his newly won WWF Undisputed Championship against Steven Regal, Rock defeating Regal after interference from Vince McMahon, Triple H making the save for Regal. And then again, last Thursday on SmackDown, Rock having to defend the title against WWF Intercontinental Champion, Edge, Rock winning again but being attacked by Triple H.- The opening RAW video package airs before we go to the live arena where pyrotechnics explode and Jim Ross and Jerry "King" Lawler are seated at ringside, Ross and Lawler running down the card for this evening, featuring The Rock NOT being in a match for the WWF Undisputed Championship, instead, Rock teaming with The Undertaker and Chris Jericho to face Rikishi, Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow, plus in the main event, Triple H to take on Kurt Angle & Rob Van Dam in a contenders match for the WWF Undisputed Championship at the Royal Rumble!- Match #1: Steven Regal defeated Test[/color] in 7:45. A decent match featuring a main event-bound Steven Regal battle the big, tough Canadian, Test as both men struggled back and forth in this hot opening contest. Test had his arm bandaged for some reason, as Christian was at ringside with Regal, Steven on two occasions during his offense, rolling out of the ring and attacking WWF European Champion, Christian, but there, Test took control. Test relied on rest holds, but Steven eventually broke free as Test had Regal for a pumphandle slam but Lance Storm ran down the rampway! Steven slid out of it and hit a unique version of the German suplex for the win! **1/4[/color][/b][/color] - Steven Regal begins to celebrate as Test sits up, Christian looking pissed from the other side of the ring, realising Lance Storm having just cost his associate, Test the match! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- We head to the backstage area as The Undertaker was shown talking to Chris Jericho, seeming to be on a positive note with Jericho, as the two run down the strategy for tonight's six-man tag team match. Taker leaves as Jericho starts to get ready, the camera following Taker as he walks out of the room to see Kane staring him in the face. Taker asks Kane what his problem is, being in this partnership with Chris Jericho. Kane just shakes his head and walks away. - Christian is seen complaining with Test as they march down the hallway, both men entering Vince McMahon's office as Vince asks what Christian and Test want. Christian demands that Vince call security and ban Lance Storm from all WWF wrestling events. Vince then says that that will be done tonight...If Lance Storm cannot beat Christian tonight for the WWF European Championship! The crowd cheer as Christian complains, Vince telling Christian if he has a problem, he could always go to the unemployment line with the rest of the Alliance washouts. - Match #2: The APA defeated Matt Hardy and Shane Helms[/color] in 6:59. These two teams fought pretty decently, but it wasn't really too grand of a match, really just used as a filer match. Bradshaw and Matt Hardy started off, Bradshaw dominating the opening moments of the contest before Shane Helms came in and worked on the leg of Bradshaw, stomping away at it as the North Carolinians began to double-team Bradshaw's leg. Faarooq then came in, beginning to start charging around, Faarooq went to Spinebuster Matt but Shane attacked him, Bradshaw knocking out Helms with the Clothesline From Hell and Faarooq covered for the win! **[/color] - The APA began to celebrate, Shane Helms then rolling out of the ring and bringing in two chairs, Matt taking one and both nailed Bradshaw and Faarooq with the chairs! The lights then go out as a film plays on the TitanTron, as we hear Jeff Hardy's and Lita's voice, yelling things out saying that next week, Matt Hardy would end up feeling their wrath! - We see an advertisement for WWF Royal Rumble, live on pay-per-view on Sunday 20th January 2002. - Match #3: Trish Stratus defeated Stacy Keibler to retain the WWF Womens Championship[/color] in 5:30. These two women put on a lackluster performance as expected, considering that Trish is still slightly green [well, unlike Stacy Keibler, she's actually training and becoming slightly better], and Stacy is an awful womens wrestler, and really used for her body. Not being sexist, but this would of been more worthy in a gimmick match, it would of been prettier than the botchfest this was. Trish with a Stratusfaction for the win. DUD[/color] - Trish Stratus begins to celebrate with the WWF Womens Championship, nothing happened really. But Jazz wandered slowly out to the entranceway, nothing major happening though. Trish didn't notice Tazz. = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #4: The Undertaker, The Rock and Chris Jericho defeated Rikishi, Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow[/color] in 12:18. These six men pulled off one great match as The Undertaker and Chris Jericho still seemed to be getting along, Taker and Bigelow starting off in a slugfest, before The Rock got a blind tag [no love lost there], Rock trying to knock down Bigelow to some success, but not much. Rikishi then came in, and the attempt to knock the big men down continued for Rock, Chris Jericho eventually came in, slapping Rock on the shoulder [no love lost there, either], as Jericho took down Rikishi. DDP and Rock had a tiny brawl [dream match palooza~!] as Taker eventually grabbed Bigelow and Chokeslammed him for the win! ***1/4[/color] - The Undertaker began to celebrate over Bam Bam Bigelow as Chris Jericho wandereed around ringside. Rock was in the middle of a slugfest with Rikishi at ringside as Diamond Dallas Page stood on the rampway, breathing heavily as he called out Undertaker for a parking lot brawl next week on RAW! - We go to Vince McMahon wandering in the backstage area as Kurt Angle confronts Vince, asking what will happen if Triple H or Rob Van Dam win tonight, Vince tells Angle that he'll find out momentarily because Vince has something to adress. - We go to Stacy Keibler as she's lying in the medical room as somebody sneaks in, a familiar voice telling Stacy to remove her pants so he can see the problem. Stacy complains of her thinking she broke her hip as the voice asks to see. Billy Gunn walks in as she laughs with Billy, Gunn jumping on the bed as the two began to go in for a kiss but Chuck Palumbo walks in, shocked! He asks Billy what he's doing before Chuck drags Billy away! - The theme of Vince McMahon begins to play as the crowd start booing loudly, Vince walking down the rampway, as he climbs into the ring, Vince beginning to get on the microphone, fighting through the almighty heelish reaction from the audience. Vince yells 'shut up' in his raspy voice as he begins to rant about how recently, he's had control over Stone Cold Steve Austin, control over the World Wrestling Federation and over some of his stars. But times changed after Vengeance. Vince mentions that his best friend, his associate, The Rock has been placed in many dangerous positions where he risked losing the WWF Undisputed Championship. Vince tells us that tonight, a triple threat match has been made with Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle and Triple H, where the winner will go to the Royal Rumble to meet The Rock, and the man not involved in the finishing fall tonight will get a title shot next week on RAW! Vince tells us that if this man who has the power wants to do something, he dares this man to show himself next Monday night on RAW! Vince closes it by saying that if he doesn't, he will expose this person himself! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #5: Lance Storm defeated Christian to win the WWF European Championship[/color] in 8:22. A sweet match here, it seems likely that Lance Storm would win, however. But both of these Canadian superstars put on a sweet contest, that will most likely be blown away by the main event, unfortunately, but it was the match of the night up to this point. Storm started off with some takedowns and technical stuff like that before Christian began to gain offense following a reverse DDT, working over Storm's ribs, Christian went for the Unprettier but Lance shoved him into the ropes as Christian bounced back into a Super Kick! Storm covered and that was it! ***1/2- Lance Storm began to celebrate with his newly won WWF European Championship belt as Christian rolled out of the ring and backed up the rampway, discussing what happened with Test. - We see a replay from early today where Tazz was seen on a security camera searching around, being heard yelling 'where's Edge' and involving the odd censored curse here and there. - Match #6: D-Von Dudley defeated Billy Gunn[/color] in 6:29. These two men had the filler contest of the evening, and was really spanned from the happenings earlier on this evening with Chuck Palumbo being horrified by Gunn flirting with the Dudley Boyz's valet, Stacy Keibler. Stacy was absent from ringside, also. Gunn and D-Von simply traded shots in there as Palumbo and Bubba Ray Dudley watched on from ringside. Gunn worked over the neck of D-Von briefly, but nothing really major came out of it. Gunn hit the Fame-Asser as Chuck jumped Bubba on the outside, Bubba took down Chuck, distracting Billy, and then D-Von hit the Saving Grace neckbreaker for the win! *3/4[/color] - We see Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle and Triple H were both seen, as the main event is next! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #7: Triple H pinned Kurt Angle in a match also featuring Rob Van Dam[/color] in 14:53. These three men pulled off one heck of a main event here tonight. Kurt Angle came in there with some very near falls as Angle almost had Rob Van Dam beat on numerous occasions. Triple H fought Angle alot through this, Angle got a truly heelish reaction as he gave Triple H a low-blow, which unfortunately is legal in this match. Rob Van Dam used some thunderous kicks in here, and RVD and Triple H actually fought amongst themselves a bit, brawling after taking Angle out in the opening moments. Rock came out to watch midway into the match, Angle hitting the Angle Slam on Van Dam before Triple H hit the Pedigree on Angle for the win! ***1/4[/color] - The Rock palms his face as Triple H celebrates, as Rob Van Dam slowly gets to his feet, staring Triple H down! Kurt Angle and The Rock then come from behind, an Angle Slam to RVD and a Rock Bottom to Triple H! RAW goes off the air...[/center][/font]

Regal winning made sense since he was fresh off of a loss in a big match. Wonder where the Taker/Kane stuff is going. Stuff with the Hardyz and Lita has been somewhat confusing. Trish/Stacy sounds like it'd be fine to see. Six-man tag was fine, although Rock felt a little out of place. Heh, funny thing there with Billy and Chuck. Wonder who the person with power is; maybe Linda? Shane? Who knows. Eh for Storm beating Christian. I actually thought Rock/HHH would happen at Mania, but guess not. Rock/RVD should be decent as well.

I really love Rock going heel, and him being Undisputed Champion - hopefully he has a better run with the belt than Jericho did in reality. I really like Lance Storm as European Champion, I was pulling for RVD in the main event - but Triple H winning makes sense. Looking forward to more.

Wrestling To The... MAX! Edition V
-- In shocking news, developmental worker, Russ Haas unfortunately passed away over the weekend. Russ Haas was a great, young technical wrestler with alot of potential, who was actually considered for being brought up to the main WWF roster, with brother, Charlie. The Haas Brothers succeeded in some sucess in developmental territory, MCW.
-- Shawn Stasiak has been released from his WWF contract. We wish him the best in all future endeavor.
-- Kurt Angle has been complaining of some problems with his spine, so expect him to take some time off to heal in the near future.
-- Many people have been selected to be a possible 'man behind the power', even Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon, but nothing is secure. A rumor went around saying that it was going to be Eric Bischoff, but Bischoff denied that at a recent Q&A session.
-- Edge will most likely drop the WWF Intercontinental Championship soon to focus on the main event scene, he will most likely enter the main event scene after WrestleMania X8 or even before, being that the show is in his home town of Toronto, Ontairio.
-- Goldberg will make his in-ring debut for the World Wrestling Federation on WWF RAW next week. RAW for Christmas Eve is looking bulked up like a supercard because Royal Rumble will still be a month away and there needs to be a buffer show in between.
-- Rumors have it that Rob Van Dam stiffed Triple H last night on RAW. Triple H denies this, but nothing has been heard from RVD himself. Speaking of RVD, Van Dam will also be entering the main event sceen after WrestleMania X8.
-- Vince McMahon has been discussing splitting up the WWF roster into two brands, RAW and SmackDown. Only few things have been discussed over this, and it may not even happen yet. We'll have more on this.

World Wrestling Federation Presents... WWF SmackDown! Thurday 13th December 2001 Bakersville, California Aired on UPN- The opening video package for SmackDown airs, to the sound of "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson as it shows every WWF superstar, really. We go to the live arena where pyrotechnics go off and the crowd are booming for tonight's edition of WWF SmackDown from Bakersville! Michael Cole and Jerry "King" Lawler are seated at ringside as the two discuss the recent happenings in the World Wrestling Federation before moving on. - We hear the new theme of Tazz played, entitled 'Just Another Victim' as he walks down the rampway through all of the mist, climbing into the ring wearing an old singlet, resembling his old 'extreme' self from ECW and when he first started in the WWF. Tazz asks the audience if there is anything different about his appearance. Tazz tells us that these fans have probably forgotten about this kind of Tazz because he's been trapped by the guarded gates of the World Wrestling Federation. Tazz tells us how he was raped of his dignity (funnily enough, the word 'rape' was censored), and that he used to be one of the most badass performers in sports entertainment, then when he tried to move up to bigger things, he got told that he was too small to be able to make it up into the major leagues. He was then cut off by a fan in the audience. He asked what's so funny as the fan was laughing. Tazz snapmared the fan over the barricade and tragged him into the ring, delivering a lethal Tazzplex! Tazz went to apply the Tazzmission but the new WWF European Champion, Lance Storm rushed down the rampway, running off Tazz! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #1: Tazz defeated Lance Storm in a non-title match [/color] in 11:56. A great way to kick off WWF SmackDown as these two began to tear the house down in this opening match, apparently made during the commercial break. It started with Storm dodging Tazz's attempts to grapple Lance, as Lance began to go on a high-offense style, using some fast-paced arm drags and dropkicks. He applied some armbars as well, this match reminded me how good Storm is a technical wrestler. He really got over here, Tazz is pretty over, and to only be near the WWF Intercontinental Championship? Blah. He needs to be up the card. Storm eventually tried to jump from the top rope but Tazz caught him with a Tazzplex and that really finished Storm off. ***1/2[/color] - Tazz began to celebrate as he signalled that he wanted some gold, rolling out of the ring and heading up the rampway to the backstage area. Lance Storm crawled to his feet, the official helping him up as the audience gave him a loud applause. - A graphic appears, hyping up The Undertaker taking on Bam Bam Bigelow, plus a public conference set by the 'man of power' between The Rock and his challenger for this Monday night's RAW, Rob Van Dam, tonight! - An advertisement for the Royal Rumble is shown, live on pay-per-view, Sunday 20th January 2002. - We see Trish Stratus standing around in the backstage area with Jonathan Coachman standing by as he attempts to start an interview, but Stacy Keibler walks on screen, Stacy saying that it's not right that Trish should get all of this attention, being the WWF Womens Champion and all. Stacy tells Trish her win was a fluke. Trish giggled, briefly mentioning her wins over Keibler lately, this leads Stacy to try taking a shot but Trish catches her hand, shoving her backwards. Stacy falls onto the floor, challenging Trish to a match for the WWF Womens Championship this Monday on RAW...in a bowl of eggnog? - Match #2: X-Pac defeated Raven by disqualification[/color] in 7:21. These two former WCW members put on a decent display, as it was the perfect follow-up from that scorching opening bout between Tazz and Lance Storm. X-Pac used his kicks and was as over as he was in the days of Degeneration X, whereas Raven fought with his hard-hitting shots, trying to prevent X-Pac from using his 'educated feet' as Jim Ross would describe them. X-Pac however managed to fight back, as he wouldn't quit, delivering some more harsh kicks before hitting the X-Factor! That's when Raven rolled out of the ring, and X-Pac taunted, Raven rolling into the ring and striking X-Pac with a nearby stop sign! **1/4[/color] - X-Pac fell to the canvas as Raven struck him twice with the stop sign to the spine of the degenerate badass, X-Pac. Raven lifted up X-Pac by his hair, pounding on his forehead to no end. Raven begins to yell before rolling out of the ring and heading towards the back. = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- We go a pre-taped segment where three desks stood, the desk in the center being placed on a platform higher than the other two, as we hear a door closing. There, Bubba Ray and D-Von of the Dudley Boyz begin to slowly walk in with the WWF Tag Team Championships over their shoulders, both men sitting down as they begin to rant about how they're so confident over winning this tag team table invitational at the Royal Rumble. We see Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo enter after flashing black in between, the two walking up to the desk and signing a contract. D-Von got in Billy's face about trying to sleep with their valet, Stacy, but Chuck tells Billy to leave it, gently hugging Billy. The two leave. Another flash occurs, showing a difference in time. We see Maven and Al Snow enter, Bubba Ray joking over who Maven is. Maven and Snow sign the contract and leave, saying nothing. We see SHOICHI, TAJIRI and TAKA then enter as those three also walk out to the desk, where they sign, after bowing. D-Von whispers to Bubba that he thinks these guys are pretty cool. Bubba laughs. We go to another scene where the door slams as the Dudleys rise to their feet, pointing at whoever is approaching, Bradshaw and Faarooq being those men! Bradshaw says that they got lucky, but when they get given their own tables, they won't be as lucky. They sign as the two teams have a face-off. - Match #3: Shane Helms defeated Jeff Hardy to retain the WWF Hardcore Championship[/color] in 10:34. A solid first-hour main event as these two men gave it their all in their first face-to-face confrontation, of course since Shane had recently used the 24/7 rule to win the title. Jeff was dressed in black, looked very gothic as he went in there with a bent chair in his hand, running down the rampway and repeatedly nailing Helms with it. Alot of high-flying skill showed by both men. Jeff had alot of offense but Shane got in the cheap shot at times. Helms hit an impressive Shining Wizard, that almost took out Jeff but nope. Jeff eventually went for the Swanton Bomb but Helms moved before really harshly tossing the chair in Jeff's face, for the win. ***[/color] - Shane Helms begins to celebrate as the arena suddenly went black, causing the audience to applaud as another video package played, showing a person's eyes as the sound of tense heartbeats played. The screen showed 'Monday night' on the screen as the crowd went nuts! - We go to the backstage area as The Undertaker is seen warming up, and Chris Jericho is seen by his side, wearing a hockey jersey as he motivates Taker, the big man then stopping and reminding Jericho he has a match up next with Rikishi! Taker tells Jericho to beat it as Taker walks in a seperate direction, opening a hallway door to come face-to-face with his half-brother, Kane! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Match #4: Chris Jericho defeated Rikishi[/color] in 8:59. This was actually not a bad match here, which was pretty suprising considering that both men are of different sizes. Jericho came out in his hockey jersey and got it ripped off upon entering the ring, Rikishi starting off with a lot of offense, super kicking Jericho. Really love the kickpads and thong look for a big Samoan...that was sarcasm by the way. I like Rikishi but how can you take him seriously? Jericho and Rikishi battled for moments, Jericho having to complete a hit-and-run strategy before picking apart at the leg of Rikishi. Rikishi eventually went upstairs for the Banzai Drop but Jericho slammed him down with a rollup for the win! **1/2[/color] - Chris Jericho begins to celebrate as he breathlessly crawls out of the ring and up the rampway. - The Undertaker and Bam Bam Bigelow were both seen down seperate hallways as their match is up next! - We see Edge standing in a nice colorful shirt with a necklace of flowers around his neck, the WWF Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder. Jonathan Coachman attempts to interview him, Edge saying that he's enjoyed being in Hawaii for a week, so he can care less about what is going on with Tazz. Tazz then appears on the other side of the screen, asking why Edge finds everything funny. Tazz walks off, pissed still. - Match #5: The Undertaker defeated Bam Bam Bigelow[/color] in 9:24. This was not as good a match as the vicious encounter they had eleven days ago at Vengeance. These two did have a decent encounter, but it just wasn't as good. Bigelow used some lethal headbutts to Taker as Taker had to work away at a part of Bigelow, going after the spine. He actually got Bigelow with a sidewalk slam, actually impressed by that. Bigelow almost had it on a few different situations, but Taker kept getting up, and the audience were rooting for Bigelow. Bam Bam hit the Asbury Park Nightmare on Taker, but Taker applied some sort of triangle chokehold! Bigelow suddenly tapped out! **1/2[/color] - The Undertaker refused to let go of the triangle choke submission on Bam Bam Bigelow as two officials came down to help break off Taker from Bigelow. Blood dripped from his mouth as Taker looked at the rampway, into the eyes of a present Diamond Dallas Page! = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = = - We go to the ring where a black carpet was placed out as the audience muttered before booing extremely loudly at the theme of Vince McMahon playing throughout the arena! The Chairman of the Board himself, then wandered out as he climbed into the ring and said that this was all devised by the man behind the power. Vince hyped Monday about the man behind the power finally being exposed, as he introduced us to the WWF Undisputed Champion, The Rock! The Rock got alot of boos too, posing with his title belt before climbing into the ring and talking trash about Rob Van Dam, the man putting him in all of these title defenses as well as Triple H. Vince introduced Rob Van Dam as he got a suprisingly loud reaction from the audience, both men beginning to look each other in the eye. RVD said that everything what Rock was saying was sweet and all, but he tells Rock that he relys too much on trying to make fun of people, and talk serious. Rock begins to talk trash about RVD before Van Dam tells Rock to leave the talking out of this for a moment. The two face-off for a few seconds, Rock trying a Rock Bottom only for Van Dam to turn it into an STO! Van Dam goes for one of his roundhouse kicks but Rock flees from the ring as does Vince, RVD standing tall as SmackDown goes off the air...[/center][/font]

Like that the old Tazz appears to be back. Made sense for Tazz to win as well. Good old stupid diva matches lol. Still not too sold on Helms and his role. Jericho/Rikishi felt a little random. Taker over Bam Bam was a good match; surprised that you have him doing the triangle choke already. Good build to Rock/RVD.

- Tazz/Storm seemed like a really good contest. Also liked the opening segment with Tazz. - Raven/Pac was meh, while Helms/Hardy was a pretty good contest. - Interested to see who is debuting on RAW. - Good main event I thought. - Alright last segment, I still don’t see RVD as a threat to the strap, though.

The "man with the power" angle is interesting. Glad to see Tazz getting an edge back. Raw looks stacked for this week.

World Wrestling Federation Presents... WWF RAW Monday 24th December 2001 Tampa, Florida Aired on TNN [/color] - We see the outside of the American Airlines Arena, Miami as Christmas decorations are eveywhere, though no snow to be found due to the climate in Florida being warm. We see the WWF Undisputed Champion, The Rock as he's looking up at the arena to a mixed reaction.- The opening RAW video package airs before we go to the live arena where pyrotechnics explode and Jim Ross and Jerry "King" Lawler are seated at ringside, the graphics and everything are Christmas themed, as the fans cheer. JR and the King run down the card for this illustrious Christmas Eve edition of WWF RAW as it boasts Diamond Dallas Page meeting The Undertaker in a parking lot brawl match, plus in our main event, The Rock challenges Rob Van Dam for the WWF Undisputed Championship! Five titles at stake, tonight!- Match #1: Spike Dudley and Billy Kidman defeated the Dudley Boyz by disqualification; Dudley Boyz retain the WWF Tag Team Championships[/color] in 8:19. Billy Kidman and Spike Dudley got a bigger reaction than one anticipated, as Kidman seemed to be on a roll tonight, taking down D-Von Dudley numerous times as those two men in particular kicked off the match. Spike came in as that was another chapter in the Dudleys vs Dudley storybook. Spike gave Bubba Ray numerous shots but Bubba absorbed them before the two champions began isolating and torturing their little brother, Spike. The two worked on his spine as Kidman struggled, trying to get the tag from Spike. Spike eventually flipped Bubba Ray over when going for the WAZZUP~! as D-Von headbutted Bubba Ray in the crotch! Kidman got the tag as he went in there with that Unprettier, which he used to call the 'Seven Inch Scratch' as he nailed the BK Bomb on Bubba, but when going for the Shooting Star Press, Billy Gunn ran down to the ring and crotched Kidman, causing disqualification! **1/2[/color][/b][/color] - Spike Dudley ran into the ring but got taken out by a lariat from D-Von! Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo then run into the ring and compete in a staredown before Al Snow and Maven rush to the ring, taking down Billy and Chuck, as the Dudley Boyz escape, Spike and Kidman getting involved AS WELL as SHOICHI and TAKA! All hell breaks loose. = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- We see Rob Van Dam arrive, walking through the hallway with a bag on his shoulder as Triple H walks up to him and the two compete in a staring contest, Triple H saying that regardless of tonight, he will walk out victorious at the Royal Rumble. RVD nods as HHH walks away. - Jonathan Coachman stands at the entrance ramp as he will be providing commentary for the next match... - Match #2: Trish Stratus defeated Stacy Keibler in a Pool of Eggnog match to retain the WWF Womens Championship[/color] in 2:54. The match began as Stacy Keibler and Trish Stratus were both wearing bikinis, Stacy and Trish clobbered each other with forearms in the pool as Stacy used her feet to apply a 'nice' scissorlock on the throat of Trish. Coach's commentary was a riot. He should commentate more often. I wouldn't complain to that. Stratus and Keibler continued to battle before Stacy grabbed Trish by the hair but Trish took off Stacy's top [censored, sigh, this week's RAW was taped], Trish gave Stacy a kick to the head and that was all she wrote. DUD[/color] - Trish Stratus began to celebrate as she got out of the eggnog pool as Stacy laid on her front, yelling for somebody to fetch her bra from Trish. Coach went to talk to Stacy in the pool as Trish booted Coach in the rear and he went into the pool! - We see an advertisement for WWF Royal Rumble, live on pay-per-view on Sunday 20th January 2002. - We go to a video clip from this last Thursday's edition of SmackDown, on UPN as it was Christian battling his ex-friend, Lance Storm for the WWF European Championship as Storm picked up a huge upset over his Canadian comrade. - Match #3: Lance Storm defeated Test to retain the WWF European Championship[/color] in 7:30. Test was accompanied out to the ring by Christian as these two began to put on a mix-match. Lance was trying on a hit-and-run strategy, beating on Test with numerous shots in the early goings only for Test to overpower the smaller champion, as Test hit a nice sidewalk slam, before working away at the spine. Christian constructed the strategy for Test, which was pretty much 'ground and pound' being yelled every few minutes.. Lance hit a nice dropkick, but it didn't knock Test off of his post for too long, as Test continued to dominate. Test hit a pumphandle slam and that was REALLY close to being it for Lance, but he kicked out as Storm began to fire back with numerous lefts and rights. Storm eventually got grabbed in the ropes by Christian, Test ran and went to Big Boot Lance but he moved, Test knocked Christian off of the apron and the rollup gave Storm the win! **= = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =Match #4: Parking Lot Brawl[/color] - We head to the backstage area as The Undertaker is seen waltsing around the parking lot, yelling at senior official, Earl Hebner, demanding he know where Diamond Dallas Page is at, and right there and then, Bam Bam Bigelow runs on screen to a pop as Taker and Bigelow trade fists, Taker throwing Bigelow into a support beam in the parking lot, under the arena. Taker shoves Bigelow into the hood of a car before CHRIS KANYON comes from behind! Making his return, Kanyon has a few shots with a Mercedes sign [yes, the silver one from the hood of a car] before Taker chokeslammed him onto the hood of the Mercedes! Waste of money, haha. Taker yells for DDP as he finally appears, wearing jeans. He appears from the opposite end of the parking lot as Taker threatens DDP with some vulgar description as DDP reverts by saying that's what he did to Taker's dead mom last night! That caused Taker to charge for Page as the two traded shots, Page tossed Taker into a pickup truck as he grabbed a stop sign from the other side of the lot and slammed it into Taker's spine, Page hitting the Diamond Cutter right in the back of the truck! Page laughed as Taker began to get up again, Page kicking Taker in the gut. Taker rolled out of the back of the truck as DDP went to dive off of it with a double-axe handle only for Taker to grab in a bear hug before spearing him into the truck once more. Taker gave him some uppercuts before DDP gave him a low blow and grabbed a long pipe, striking Taker in the spine with it, as Page nails the Diamond Cutter right on the bare floor! Page taunts as the audience from the arena cheer before Chris Jericho rushes in from behind, nailing Page with a steel chair! Jericho stomps on DDP as he struggles, lifting Taker back to his feet. Taker lays out Jericho with a right hand as he walks over to the laid out DDP. He says that next week, may be the year in review for the World Wrestling Federation, but next week for Diamond Dallas Page, it means the end...In an Empty Arena match! - We see Michael Cole with Brock Lesnar as he's standing by with, once again, his former colleague on SmackDown, Tazz as Cole asks Tazz on his position in the WWF, particularly with Edge. Tazz says that no bad blood is lost, and that soon, Edge will be the recipient of a downward spiral of his own, some ruthless suplexes, and the finalé, the Tazzmission. Tazz then looks up at Brock as he slaps Brock, asking him why he's listening to this goon to protect this wimp when even Tazz himself knows that Brock is better than this. Tazz tells Brock to think about it, before leaving. - Match #5: Edge defeated Shane Helms, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship in a four-corner elimination match[/color] in 17:54. What a match this was, it had everything from high-flying speedy attacks to back-and-forth brawling, as well as some technical mat-based wrestling too. It seemed to be like a tag team match in the first section, Edge and Jeff Hardy & Shane Helms and Matt Hardy seemed to be aligned in that , anyways. Shane and Jeff started as both men used alot of acrobatic skill, Jeff trying to throw Shane off of his game numerous times, only for Matt to make the save. Edge then came in and kicked Shane's ass with his spinning heel kick and downward spiral, but when setting up for the Edgecution on Matt, Shane kicked his lights out, but only for a near fall! Jeff then came from out of nowhere, hitting a reverse Twist of Fate, to eliminate Shane Helms at 5:23! From there, it seemed like a triple threat match [well, it was, but you know], as Jeff was blindsighted by Edge, and Edge then went after Matt as well when Matt tried to double team Jeff. At another point, Edge was double-teamed in a nostalgic move from the former tag team of Jeff and Matt as they hit Poetry in Motion on the WWF Intercontinental Champion, before Matt hit a SUDDEN Twist of Fate on Jeff to eliminate Jeff Hardy in 16:10. Then finally, Edge hit the Spear on Matt for a near fall, as Matt regained offense, and got Edge in the Twist of Fate position, but the lights went out, and when they came back on, Lita had jumped out of the ring onto the entrance ramp as Edge had Matt on the canvas in a bridge for the win! ***3/4[/color] - Edge began to celebrate with the WWF Intercontinental Championship as Lita had an unsatisfied look on her black-and-white face, Matt Hardy looking up in shock and disgust. - We go to the backstage area as Vince McMahon, the Chairman of the board is en route to the ring, for the exposing of the man who has been behind the recent power in the World Wrestling Federation. = = = = = B = R = E = A = K = = = = =- Vince McMahon begins to make his way out to the arena to a lot of boos as he climbs into the ring and welcomes everybody to Christmas Eve. Vince talks about how Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, but as of recently, it hasn't been so wonderful for innocent WWF superstars and employees. Vince mentions The Rock being a recipient of bullcrap, having to defend the WWF Undisputed Championship three times in the last two weeks, as well as Vince himself being held responsible for it, and now, up next, Rock has to defend the title he won in a prestigious manner fifteen nights ago at Vengeance against Rob Van Dam! Vince tells us that the man behind the power better show up in the next and final half-hour of the show, or he will be grabbed by one of his corporate suits and sued, fired and fined! Vince takes a seat at ringside for the upcoming main event. - Match #6: WWF Undisputed Champion, The Rock vs Mr Monday Night, Rob Van Dam: Winter Wafare![/color] We hear the theme of The Rock play as he began to cockily walk out through the curtain to boos, power-walking down the ramp and walking up the ring steps, the WWF Undisputed Championship in his hand as he climbed onto the top turnbuckle and raised his fist into the air. He basked in the taunt before stepping down and climbing into the ring, then getting on the turnbuckle and doing it again. The sound of Rob Van Dam's music played as five seconds in, pyrotechnics went off as the crowd welcomed the number one contender, RVD out to a warm welcome. Van Dam walked quickly down the rampway in his spandex singlet and kickpad-covered boots, roundhouse kicking thin air before taunting with his patented 'RVD' thumb pose. Van Dam signalled that tonight, he would become champion as the bell sounded. A section of the arena chanted 'Rocky' in the early goings of the match as another chanted 'RVD', Rock and RVD getting in each others faces before Rock slapped RVD. Van Dam began to fire back with some shots to the chest, kicking Rock in the thigh with his boot shoving him into the ropes and delivering some thunderous bodyshots, followed up with the roundhouse kick to the gut! RVD then began to thrust his shoulder into Rock's gut in the corner, doing this twice before flipping backwards onto his hands, then feet, running back at Rock for his monkey flip, but Rock ran out of the way, then laughing and pointing at his head, only for Van Dam to come back with a backwards crossbody for only a near fall! RVD then elbowed Rock in the back of the head a few more times but Rock swept him off of his feet and applied the Sharpshooter! RVD began scream as Rock repeatedly yelled 'ring the bell' to some heel reaction, but RVD rolled out of the hold, flipping Rock into the ropes, but when RVD went to run back at Rock, he got a big spinebuster for his troubles! Rock laughed as he signalled that it was time for the People's Elbow but when standing over Van Dam's head, the courageous challenger rolled backwards and hit a wheelbarrow-bulldog out of nowhere on the champion, having played possum! Van Dam grabbed the top rope as he hit a superb split-legged moonsault, covering for only a very near fall! Van Dam began to slow down the pace slightly, giving Rock one or two forearms to the forehead, only for Rock to block one, and headbutt Van Dam. Rock sat up and rolled onto Van Dam, giving him some rights and lefts in a lazy man's Lou Thesz Press style. Rock got to his feet as he grabbed RVD by the pony-tailed hair and slammed his head into the turnbuckle. Van Dam received six head shots into the turnbuckle before blocking one and delivering an elbow to the gut of Rock, Van Dam jumping onto the second turnbuckle and hitting a backflip, taking Rock down with a reverse DDT! Van Dam covered but only for a near fall as Rock barely got his shoulder up! Rob got to his feet as he went to pick up Rock by the head but Rock grabbed him by the singlet and tossed him outside through the ropes. Rock rolled out of the ring, hot in persuit as Rock grabbed Van Dam and rammed his head, full force into the ring post before delivering three chops to RVD, the last one in which, Rob ducked and Rock slammed the back of his fist into the post! Van Dam shoved Rock into the announce table as he went to hit a roundhouse, standing high-angle kick only for Rock to reverse with a punch to the lower-abdomen of RVD. Van Dam then got a harsh spinebuster on the floor, Rock then retaining his momentum with some patented stomps to the torso of the challenger. Rock rolled Van Dam back into the ring, under the ropes as Van Dam got back to his feet in a spontaneous run of energy and adrenaline, tripping up Rock and bridging him for only a near fall! Van Dam stood on his feet, springboarding off of the middle rope and coming back at RVD with a kick to the chest. Van Dam then took out Rock's lights with a superkick, but didn't have enough energy to go for the cover! The fans cheered 'RVD' repeatedly as they knew Rob Van Dam was their hero now, not The Rock. Van Dam struggled to get up but when he did he went and successfully connecting with some Rolling Thunder, only getting two still, however! Van Dam then hit a cartwheel into a standing moonsault, but even that didn't do any good. Van Dam then went up top for the Five Star Frog Splash.... He stood still on the top rope, as the crowd chanted his name, RVD doing his patented 'R...V...D' pose before coming off only for Vince McMahon to of driven himself over Rock, as Van Dam landed on Vince's neck! RVD rolled Vince's carcuss out of the ring as he covered The Rock for one...two...NO! Van Dam looked shocked as he began to prepare for yet another Five-Star Frog Splash, but Rock shot up onto his feet, nipping up before running onto the top rope and struggling with RVD! Kurt Angle then rushed down the rampway, going to help out Vince McMahon only for Triple H with his friend, the sledgehammer to run down to the ring and make the save, HHH and Angle dissappearing through the audience! RVD tried going to superplex Rock to the outside but Rock somehow reversed, getting RVD's arms over his shoulder and he nailed a Rock Bottom in reverse from the top rope into the ring! Rock barely laid an arm over Van Dam's chest as the referee, Earl Hebner counted...ONE...TWO...THREE! Winner and the Undisputed Champion, The Rock (22:49)[/color] - The Rock rolls onto his back as Vince McMahon slowly gets to his feet, rolling into the ring and giving Rock the WWF and WCW Championships, both now known as the WWF Undisputed Championships. Rock and Vince celebrate as Vince grabs a microphone, saying he dares the man behind the power to show up right here right now... OH, OH, SHAWN! The crowd goes berserk as the "Heartbreak Kid" himself, Shawn Michaels appears on the entrance ramp, HBK taunting to the adoring audience as RAW goes off the air...[/center][/font]

-If the show is in the American Airlines Arena in Miami, why does it say that it's in Tampa? -Opener was decent, nothing special -Women's stuff wasn't much either, but seemed like something the WWE would've done in '01 -Thank god Storm retained as I never found anything special in Test -Parking Lot Brawl was certainly entertaining, good stuff. Empty Arena match should be interesting -Glad that Edge retained, his feud with Tazz has a lot left I hope -Good promo from Vince -To be honest, I didn't read the whole main event. Was too long for my liking, but glad The Rock retained. -HBK as the man behind the power is good stuff, very interesting
Very good show, was as good as I expected it to be
