TONIGHT: Taker/Angle vs. Brock/Cena .. LETS FUCKING GO

1) Eddie Guerrero (c) (w/ Chavo Guerrero) vs. Matt Hardy (w/ Shannon Moore) - United States Championship Match 

More great Eddie work here. Not to discount Matt, though because he’s fantastic around this time, too. Eddie has just been killing it in these last few weeks and months. Eddie’s ribs come into play naturally here. Matt hits a nasty powerbomb on him and hangs him stomach first on the ropes. Just a lot of good shit. Eddie makes his comeback. Hardy tries to cheat, so the Guerrero’s do their thing and do it back and Eddie hits the frog splash off a belt shot to retain! 

Match rating - ***

WRESTLEMANIA XX TIX WENT ON SALE and they got clips of people buying them and shit at the venue to hype it up even though we are like 6 months away.

Josh Mathews catches John Cena walking into the arena earlier tonight. Josh says Cena had some dope rhymes last week and Cena gives him some more shitting on Kurt Angle ahead of their tag match tonight. 

Backstage, Eddie & Chavo are celebrating and talking. They walk up on The Big Show. Show says he doesn’t like them or “they’re kind” and yeah this gets racist as fuck. Show tosses them to the ground, laughs and walks away. 

Back from commercial, Eddie is furious and pushes Chavo up against the wall and says he’s gonna take care of this Big Show shit. 

2) Bradshaw & Ron Simmons vs. The Basham Brothers (w/ Shanequa)

TONIGHT: Christian defends the IC Title against Rob Van Dam in a Ladder Match ++++ HBK/Goldberg vs. Randy Orton/Ric Flair 

Al Snow and Jonathan Coachman are introduced as commentators again to start the show. How wonderful. 

The show begins with The Highlight Reel. Chris Jericho’s guest tonight is his “close, personal friend” Eric Bischoff. Bischoff has an announcement to make and it is apparently that Stone Cold is suspended for the next month. Jericho then brings out his other guest for the night… GOOD OL JR. Coach & Snow are taunting him as he walks down the ramp and Coach says “god, I can’t wait to whip his ass later tonight” so yeah this turns into a whole charade. Bischoff lets Coach pick the stip for his match with JR later. He picks a “country whippin” match and Jericho sympathizes with him because he just got burned by Kane, then proceeds to mock him for it. JR says they both better hope he loses tonight and that they are just like Coach & Snow,, they both SUCK. Jericho says Bischoff can’t touch the talent, but he can and locks JR in the damn Walls of Jericho. He has it in for a while before STONE COLD STONE COLD. THIS FUCKER IS POSED TO BE SUSPENDED. He throws chairs out the ring and up the ramp at Bischoff & Jericho as they flee. Bischoff sends officials to remove him from the building. They grab his arms and he asks that they allow him to remove himself from the building. They let him go and drops both of their honky asses!! GOD DAMN RIGHT.

“Yanno, after I’m doing whipping JR’s ass… I might just try a piece of Steve Austin.” -Jonathan Coachman

Philadelphia, PA

WWE Champion: Brock Lesnar (since 9/18/03)

WWE United States Champion: Eddie Guerrero (since 7/27/03)

WWE Tag Team Champions: Los Guerreros (since 9/18/03)

WWE Cruserweight Champion: Rey Mysterio (since 6/5/03)

The show opens with Mr. McMahon & Sable in the ring ready to present Brock Lesnar with the WWE Championship and celebrate his victory over Kurt Angle last week. Vince goes to introduce Lesnar, but we get Kurt Angle instead. Vince cuts him off and says he knows he’s out here to either complain about Brock screwing him last week or ask for a rematch, but that he should be here to congratulate him. Angle says he wants to fight Brock right now and if he doesn’t come out there, he will go in the back and find him. Another unexpected surprise comes of this as John Cena’s music hits. Cena comes out and does a problematic rap on Kurt. This pisses Kurt off and he swings on Cena and Cena flees to the back. Angle says since Brock isn’t coming out, he’s gonna go to the back AND FIND THAT STUPID SON OF A BITCH. 

Angle jumps out of the ring and trots to the back. He finds Brock’s dressing room, but he’s not in there. On his way out, Cena is hiding in a closet and jumps out and lays Kurt out then flees the scene.

Back from commercial, John Cena flees the arena in a car. Kurt comes hobbling out of the garage and threatens Vince’s limo driver to drive him after him or he’ll beat his ass. They peel off after Cena.

Jonathan Coachman & Al Snow come out next. They won the right to be the new announce team for Monday Night Raw so they take their seat at the booth and immediately begin being obnoxious.
