nWo commercials to start the match.
Rock’s out, he talks away on the mic. Rock calls out Taker… Booker is out instead, and they talk smack, and we have an…
IMPROMPTU MATCH!!!
Rock Vs Booker T
Rock takes control early but Booker lands a kick and contains Rock for a while. Action spills to the outside, and Booker runs Rock into the steps, then tosses him into the barricade. We head back into the ring, and Rock comes back with a DDT and both men are down. Both Rock and Booker get to their feet at the same time, and they exchange punches. Rock gains the advantage, and takes Booker down with an overhead toss. I’m not calling that a belly to belly anymore because it isn’t. Rock covers for two. Booker comes back with a scissor kick. Booker does the Spinaroonie, and Rock hops to his feet next to him. Spinebuster, People’s Elbow, cover… ballgame.
Winner: The Rock
Commercials… I haven’t gotten into many PC games recently… but Wolfenstein: Return to the Castle is unbelievable…
Steph/HHH interview concerning her pregnancy. I’m gonna get some dinner… She’s 8 weeks pregnant.
Commercials…

Here comes Angle rolling down a baby carriage. He says he’s going to Wrestlemania. Angle says that since HHH “cheated” at the Royal Rumble, Angle gets the chance to take things over by beating HHH. Angle says he feels sorry for the new baby. Angle says he knows what their baby is going to look like, and reaches into the carriage and pulls out a baby ape stuffed animal. The stuffed animal has a big plastic nose attached to it. Angle plays with it and feeds it a baby banananananana. Good raughs! HHH is out and he punches Angle then tosses the baby carriage onto him. Ow…
Commercials…
We are CORDIALLY invited to see Steph and HHH renew their wedding vows on Raw… =/
Regal’s music is slightly different… I don’t like it as much…

Regal and The Dudleyz Vs Rikishi, RV f’n D & Edge
The whole slew of wrestlers involved go at it to kick things off. D-Von and RVD are in to start the match officially. RVD takes control with a nice hurricanrana. Cover by Van Dam for two. Edge tags in. Edge lands a dropkick off the middle rope on D-Von. Edge covers for two. Edge gets whipped into the heels’ corner, and he fights out of it. But now Bubba and Regal trip Edge up and smash hit penis into the steel post. Bubba is in the ring now working on Edge. D-Von is back in and he works on Edge in the corner. Edge lands a facebuster and both men are down. Edge crawls over and makes the hot tag to Rikishi. Rikishi cleans house, and lands a somoan drop on Bubba. He covers but Regal is in. The ring completely clears except D-Von Dudley. RVD flies off the top rope and kicks D-Von. More mayhem all over the place including Edge spearing Regal, also Bubba and Rikishi are in the ring. Rikishi splashes Bubba in the corner and applies the stink face. Rikishi gets up and walks right into a 3D. Cover, and the three.
Winners: Dudleyz and Regal

No… wait… it’s some fat dude that looks like Austin. HA! This guy’s got Austin down pretty good. Huss! Did I just see ass crack? Crack kills… LMAO! This guy is great!!! Now the glass breaks again, and here’s the real Austin. Damn… that guy was funny. Jericho bails, and the big guy is frozen in the ring with Austin. Jericho tries to ambush Austin, but Austin clears him out, and Jericho leaves. The fake Austin is still here. Austin asks him if he wants to have a beer. Austin grabs some beers. They toast, and Austin Stuns the hell outta fake Austin.

Maven w/Al Snow!!! Vs The Undertaker
This should be interesting…
Snow tosses him a trash can lid, and Maven works on Taker early! Undertaker quickly gains control though and lands a hard clothesline sending Maven to the mat. Taker misses an elbow, and Snow tosses Maven a trash can. Taker blocks a shot by Maven, and punches the trash can in his face. Snow drags Maven to the outside. Undertaker follows and sends Maven into the steel steps. Taker tosses Maven back into the ring. Snow distract Taker, but it has no effect as UT lands a trash can shot on Maven’s head. Snow again drags Maven away from trouble, and this time Undertaker takes Snow out and tosses him into the crowd. We’re back in the ring now, and Maven is motionless, bleeding in the ring. Undertaker goes for the last ride, but Snow enters the ring with the ring bell and lands a shot on Taker. Maven rolls him up but only gets a two count. Taker boots Snow to the outside, then choke slams Maven. Taker covers, but pulls Maven up at two. Taker applies a dragon sleeper, and here comes The Rock! Rock lands a chair shot on Undertaker, and then a Rock Bottom!!! Maven crawls over and covers… 1… 2… 3… !!! MAVEN PINS THE UNDERTAKER!
Winner, and NEW CHAMP: MAVEN!
Huge props to Taker for getting Maven over.

Pretty good show this week. The highlights to it were pretty damn sweet though so I’m giving it a solid score. Maven, the Tombstone, and the nWo clips.
