Match #1
Billy Gunn with Torrie Wilson vs Doug Basham with Danny Basham and Shaniqua
Billy Gunn attacks as the Bashams make their way to the ring. This allows them to double team the Assman legally because the match hasn't started yet. Jaime Noble and Nidia make their way down to even the odds. They trade punches and kicks, until Doug hits a springboard elbow, running clothesline, and knee drop. This gets the crowd to chant for Torrie. Doug has a chinlock and Tazz says that it is an S & M move. Tazz then also informs Josh that he agrees with Bradshaw that Shaniqua and Benjamin are the same person. Billy Gunn hits a back suplex to both me down. Go behind by Doug who sets up a very sexualized pump handle slam. Bully Gunn rolls through and kicks Doug in the mush. He hits One and Only which is cobra clutch slam. Tazz mocks Josh for losing to Shaniqua on Tough Enough. Josh says that were on the different seasons. Tazz, "Oh yeah, it was Nidia who beat you."
Gunn hits a series of clotheslines and tilt a whirl slam for a 2 count. Billy hits a splash in the corner and hits the Famousser. Shaniqua tosses a chair into the ring. This distracts the ref. Noble runs over but eats a huge boot from Shaniqua. Danny sneaks in behind the ref's back and hits Gunn with Shaniqua's whip, and switches places to get the pin in 5:21 ** 3/4.
In the locker room, The World's Greatest Tag Team is trying to get Shelton Benjamin over being called Shaniqua. Haas says that he knows that Benjamin isn't Shaniqua but he wants to prove it to Shelton, so he gives Shelton a black long haired wig to try on. Haas says this will work because he is a scholar and Bradshaw is dumb because he went to Albaline Christian. Haas laughs at him when Benjamin has his back turned but goes back to serious when he isn't hidden. Haas offers lipstick as well to make sure and while this is being negotiated Bradshaw walks past them in the doorway. He calls over Faarooq and Bradshaw starts taking pictures. The champs yell at the APA to leave and Bradshaw cackles and runs off to get the pictures developed. Faarooq lingers but does not drop at "damn" much to my surprise. Orlando Jordan walks by and says, "Hi Charlie, Hi Shaniqua."
Match #2
Shannon Moore vs HD Yates
Moore gets out the of the initial hammer lock with a reverse elbow. Shannon has new tights and new tattoo according to Josh. Moore hangs Yates on the middle rope and hits a running knee while on the apron. That'll get Yates seeing in high definition. Moore strikes with a back handspring escape into a swinging neck breaker. Yates again is placed on the middle rope this time allowing Matt Hardy to yell "VEEEEE Onaaa" in his face before Moore serves up a knee to the back. Now Mathew uses a High Definition joke, which I had beaten by one move sequence in write up time but he beat me in real time by 21 years so let's call it a draw. Yates gets his first offense of the match with a flurry of punches by Yates and powerslam for a 2 count. Shannon Moore gets back advantage with a corner corkscrew for a two count. Moore throws a tantrum. Moore lands a few boots to the face and climbs to the top for a float over neck breaker for the win in 5:12. *1/2
Match #3
#1 Contender's Match for the Cruiserweight Championship
Billy Kidman vs Tajiri
(Full disclosure: I can't keep up the pace of the match)
The match begins with chain wrestling with each trading control. Kidman hits a head scissors and an arm drag. Tajiri hits one of his own and they stare off. The crowd applauds. Kidman catches Tajiri with a drop toe hold and then lands several hard elbows to the back of Kidman's neck. A corkscrew elbow gets a 2 count and Kidman locks in a headlock. Tajiri breaks free to hit a jumling spinning heel kick for a 2 count. They trade chops. Tajiri goes for a hand spring elbow but Kidman catches him with a drop kick which elicits an "ooohh" from the crowd. Tajiri misses a kick attempt and Kidman tries to roll him up. He throws Tajiri hard into the corner but the Japanese buzzsaw comes back with a super kick. His Michinoku driver only gets a nearfall. Tajiri slaps Kidman hard in the chest which leads Tazz to start talking about nipples for awhile. About Tajiri can slap your nipples clean off your chest and leave your ariolas damaged. He says your nipples make this sound when Tajiri slaps them, and makes a foghorn sound. Kidman hits a springboard elbow but Tajiri locks in the tarantula. Kidman hits a powerbomb and an enziguri. Kidman tries to drag Tajiri in position for the shooting star press, but Tajiri kicks him in the head. Kidman falls back and cracks heads with the referee. While the ref is getting his bearings back, Tajiri blows green mist in Kidman's face and rolls him up for the win in 6:38 *** 3/4. Josh tells us to tune in this week on Smackdown to see Tajiri challenge Rey Mysterio for the title.
Match #4
The World's Greatest Tag Team vs APA
Bradshaw and Charlie Haas start off. Haas gets a drop toe hold and headlock, Bradshaw works free with a back body drop and then hits a suplex. Haas tags in Shelton but he eats a couple of shoulder blocks. Bradshaw tags in Faarooq. A double team move of a body slam into a shoulder tackle by Faarooq. Faarooq sends Haas hard into the turn buckle and a powerslam. Haas hits a drop kick to the knee. WGTT both attack the knee. Faarooq eventually gets the tag. Bradshaw gets a kick to the head and a swinging neck breaker. Both men tag their partners. Faarooq hits a power slam and a spinebuster. The APA hit a double shoulder block to Shelton. Outside the ring Shelton sends Bradshaw into the post. Benjamin reenters the ring and kicks Faaroo1 in the mush allowing Haas to roll up Faarooq for the win in 5:59 ** 3/4.
I could not find the entire episode. It's probably being kept hidden because it is probably too hot for TV with newly heel Coach on commentary.
Test with a reluctant Stacy Keibler vs Derrick Neikirk
Test enters the ring like Stacy normally does and when Stacy tries to enter the ring, Test won't allow it. Test slaps Neikirk but the local competitor fires back with his own slap, a flurry of right hands, and flying foreman. Test immediately lands several big clotheslines in the corner. This gives him the chance to show Stacy his buttocks. She is not pleased. He makes Stacy get up on the apron to towel his sweaty brow. When Test turns around he catches a drop kick in his now dry forehead. Test grabs him and goes for a power bomb that gets reversed into a rollup for 2. Test is through playing around and decapitates Neikirk with the big boot to win in 2:59. *
Earlier Today
Al Snow is backstage sitting on a production crate looking at a magazine centerfold. Stevie Richards shows up and shover a microphone in his hand and pretends Al is here to interview him. Stevie says that here on Must Steve TV, that Stevie Night Heat has combined with Stevie Corp to create the most amazing show. At this point Ivory comes over to say hello. Stevie thanks her for work on his show and caresses her shoulder. Ivory is disgusted and warns Stevie to keep his hands off of her. Victoria now joins her man and Stevie says that Ivory is trying to get into his pants. Victoria snaps and calls Ivory a hussy. "You are the village bicycle and everyone has had a try. If you want my man you have to have me too." Stevie lights up and says, "Really?!?!?!" Victoria drags Stevie off by the hair. Snow and Ivory exchange confused glances. Up next it is Ivory and Tommy Dreamer vs Victoria and Stevie Richards.
Match #2 to me
Tommy Dreamer and Ivory vs Stevie Richards and Victoria
The ladies start things off, Ivory tries to rotate over Victoria for a move but slips. She quickly sweeps the leg to recover. Ivory hits a suplex and goes for the cover but only gets a 2. Victoria lands a few knees to the stomach and tags in Stevie. He taunts Ivory in the corner but she dodges his clothesline attempt. She lights Stevie up with a few chops to the chest. Ivory ducks and rolls through to tag Dreamer in to avoid another Stevie clothesline attempt. Tommy hits a clothesline on Stevie. Stevie is quickly up and misses a dropkick and Dreamer comes down with an elbow drop. Ivory comes in and Tommy picks her up and slams her on Stevie for another leg drop. Dreamer then adds one of his own. Stevie goes for a crossbody but Tommy catches him. Victoria comes from behind and chop blocks Tommy. Victoria hits a spinning leg drop onto Tommy's knee in the corner. Then stomps it a few times. She tags Stevie back in. He mocks Dreamer's taunt. The heels go for a double suplex but Dreamer reverses and suplexes them both. Ivory cames in with a dropkick to Richards. Both heels get placed in the corner and Dreamer squishes them with a splash.
