Final Hulkamania tour show in Sydney
By Dann Lennard
Lot of older guys here tonight – a sea of red'n'yellow (plus the odd NWO "Hollywood" Hogan t-shirt). Some kids. I saw a few Cena and Triple H shirts and one Beer Money Inc. T-shirt.
The freaks are out tonight, too. This is not a family atmosphere, like your typical WWE event. However, it's a pretty hot crowd.
Card started horribly.
1. Pimpfather (with four underaged Filipino ladies) b Sean Morely. Pimp kept calling him "Val". The pre-match banter was real WWF Attitude Era stuff – it makes you realise how much Vince has toned down the product in recent years. Match went barely five minutes and was just okay.
2. Nasty Boys (w/ Jimmy Hart) DCOR Rock Of Love (or whatever those indy guys are called). Thirty-second brawl outside the ring, then both teams were counted out and they brawled to the back. Crowd was stunned and it killed the crowd for the next match.
3. Heidenreich b Nick Dinsmore. Dinsmore worked total Eugene-style, which made for a hideous match. Heidenreich doesn't know what gimmick he's doing now: it's part-psycho, part-soldier, part-Eugene. Sadly, all the parts add up to the total shits in the ring. Five minutes of sheer badness. At this point, I felt this was an odds-on winner for worst live card ever.
4. A video played of the Nastys brawling with the jibronies out the back; they then brawled to the ring and Jimmy Hart declared it was an "Australian street fight". Lots of water cooler shots to the head and, more disturbingly, a ton of chair shots to the head. The jobbers got destroyed and the Nastys won. It was a fine little garbage match in the style of the old Public Enemy matches in mid-90s ECW. Just wish there hadn't been so many blows to the head. This match got the crowd back into the show.
5. Black Pearl/Vampire Warrior b Jr Fatu/Brian Christopher. Brian looked pretty good early on. The ending – with Pearl pinning Brian – was botched horribly and I thought at first that it was Brian's fault.
But a wrestler friend told me it was because Pearl was in the wrong position for the last few moves. Anyway, Black Pearl is pretty horrible. Warrior took some good bumps. Fatu is just huge. Like Yokozuna huge...which can't be good for his health. The crowd popped huge for Fatu & Christopher dancing at the end of the match.
Time for a 15-minute intermission. During the break, two fans – one dressed as 1990-style Undertaker, the other dressed as Ultimate Warrior – had a mock match in the crowd, ending when the Undertaker removed Warrior's wig. They got a huge round of applause – their bout was ten times better than Heidenreich vs Dinsmore.
The second half began with a bikini contest. It ended in a catfight, then the three girls spanked the ref. Forgettable.
6. Brutus Beefcake (w/- Jimmy Hart) b Orlando Jordan with the sleeper. Pretty much all stalling and the bout was horrible. Orlando's theme tune is kinda disturbing. Beefcake cut off a chunk of Jordan's hair after the match.
7. Matt Cross b Shannon Moore in a ladder match by grabbing a briefcase containing $25,000 in Monopoly money. Best match of the card by far. Awesome big moves and great bumps. Cross was the heel but the crowd really liked him by the end 'cos he just killed himself on so many moves. I think the ladders (there were three in all) detracted a bit from the two guys. I think a regular match between them would've been truly awesome, but I'd give this bout at least ***.
8. Osu b Mr Ken Anderson. The man formerly known as Umaga was great here. This was a WWE-style match but it was easily the second-best bout on the card. Anderson did some nice Mr Kennedy-style mic work before the bout. He gained two visionary pins on Umaga, but the ref was unconscious. Eventually, Umaga destroyed him for the pin. Anderson didn't look out of shape here. I hope he goes to TNA and finds a niche there.
9. Hulk Hogan b Ric Flair (w/- Lacey Von Erich) in a no-DQ match. The same bout that was held in other cities. Flair bumped like crazy. Hogan looked old and frail. There were a ton of run-ins: Lacey attacked Hulk and got her dress ripped off by Jimmy Hart. She was then atomic dropped by Hogan, followed by a double noggin-knocker on her and Flair. Next came Orlando Jordan and Heidenreich, who were run off by the Nasty Boys. Umaga then ran in and did the corner smash thing before Hogan hulked up and threw him outside. Both Flair and Hogan bled buckets. Flair did just about every bump in his repertoire (including the press slam from the top rope). Finally, Flair got the big boot, Jimmy threw Hulk his megaphone and Hogan clocked Nature Boy for the three count. The crowd went nuts for everything – it was like attending a nostalgia tour by a rock band you loved in the 80s. You just wanna hear them play your fave songs live one more time. Sure, it doesn't sound as good as when they did it 20 years ago, and everyone's looking a little older and more haggard, but you cut them some slack. That's what the crowd did tonight with Hogan and Flair.
All in all, it was a fun card. Two good matches, only two truly awful bouts and the main event delivered for those of us who've never seen Hogan vs Flair live.
But they can't come back and do it again. This nostalgia ride was only good for one trip.

1. Pimp Fatha beat Sean Morley. Morley did an elbow drop. Pimp slammed Morley. Morley did a neckbreaker. Pimp did a side suplex. Pimp pinned Morley using the tights.
2. Nasty Boys (managed by Jimmy Hart) wrestled Rock of Love to a double countout. All four brawled outside the ring. Result was a double countout in a very short match
3. Jon Heidenreich beat Nick Dinsmore. Heidenreich clotheslined Dinsmore. Dinsmore threw punches at Heidenreich. Dinsmore did a rock bottom. Heidenreich later pinned Dinsmore with a rock bottom.
4. Nasty Boys beat Rock of Love in a Falls Count Anywhere match. I am not familiar with Rock of Love and there were no programs for sale at the show. Saggs used a steel chair to the head. Knobbs used a chair to the back. All four brawled outside the ring. Knobbs threw a Rock of Love member into a piece of plywood. Knobbs pinned Rock of Love member.
5. Vampire Warrior & Black Pearl beat Junior Fatu (Rikishi) & Brian Christopher. Vampire superkicked Pearl. Christopher and Vampire gave each other clotheslines. Fatu gave Vampire a Samoan drop. Pearl pinned Christopher. After the match Fatu gave Pearl the stinkface. Fatu , Christopher and the ref danced.
- Next was a bikini contest between Stephanie Pietz, Koa Marie Turner and Kiara Dillon. Stephanie won. There was a catfight between two of the girls. The ref also got involved.
6. Brutus Beefcake (managed by Jimmy Hart ) beat Orlando Jordan. On the mic Jordan called Beefcake an old relic. Beefcake did a strut. Beefcake backdropped Jordan. They brawled outside the ring. Jordan gave Beefcake a side suplex. Beefcake won with a sleeper hold. 7. Matt Cross beat Shannon Moore in a ladder match. They brawled outside the ring. Cross powerbombed Moore. Cross superplexed Moore off the top of a ladder. Moore gave Cross a swinging neckbreaker off a ladder. Cross did a 450 splash on Moore. Cross grabbed the briefcase to win the match. Best match of the show and best match I have seen in Australia this year. ***
8. Uso Fatu (Umaga) beat Mr Anderson. Anderson did his catchphrase saying Mr Anderson. Anderson gave Fatu an enzuigiri but the ref was out cold. Anderson gave Fatu a Russian leg sweep. Anderson had Fatu up for a Samoan drop but he collapsed because of the weight. Fatu pinned Anderson.
9. Hulk Hogan beat Ric Flair (with Lacey Von Erich). I have been going to wrestling shows for 25 years in Australia and Hogan`s pop was the loudest I have heard at a wrestling show in Australia. Hogan got a standing ovation. Von Erich interfered in the match. Jimmy Hart also interfered in the match. Hogan gave Von Erich a safe atomic drop. Heidenreich and Jordan interfered. The Nasty Boys then interfered. Flair gave Hogan a figure four leglock. Hogan whipped Flair with his belt. Flair bladed. Uso Fatu (Umaga) interfered. Hogan hulked up. Hogan hit Flair with Hart`s megaphone and then pinned Flair. Flair carried Hogan to a perfectly acceptable match. Hogan got another standing ovation. Hogan flexed while Jimmy Hart was in the ring.
Notes: - lots of Hogan t-shirts and bandannas worn by kids and adults. Much of it bought at the show.
The show went for 3 hours 20 minutes including a 15 minute intermission.

1. Turboness, Anthony Turbo Mori{W} (7:12 Turboness Assisted Pinfall) Kenichiro Arai{L}, Kzy
2. Super Shenlong 50 Match Series: Susumu Yokosuka (2:19 Mugen) Super Shenlong
3. Masato Yoshino, Dragon Kid (15:30 DQ) Ryo Saito, MAZADA
4. Open the Brave Gate 3 Way Match: Naoki Tanisaki vs. KAGETORA vs. Akira Tozawa
-KAGETORA (6:04 Kagenui) Tozawa
-Tanisaki (11:17 Implant) KAGETORA
*V3 for Tanisaki
5. CIMA{W}, Gamma, Magnitude Kishiwada (13:28 Meteora) Yasushi Kanda{L}, Genki Horiguchi, Dr. Muscle
6. Open the Twin Gate: YAMATO, Shingo Takagi (24:22 Double KO) Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii
*V3 for KAMIKAZE
7. Open the Dream Gate: Naruki Doi (27:02 Muscular Bomb) BxB Hulk
*V7 for Doi
Susumu blew off CIMA & Gamma after his match, furthering the dissension within W5.
After yet another RH/Gurentai messy DQ, Yoshino & Kid asked for another match. Kid said he would put up his mask. Ryo & MAZADA agreed, with their hair on the line. This lead to the return of the escape rules Hair vs. Mask cage match. Looks like it will be tag format this time. For whatever reason, Dr. Muscle is involved on the RH side, so it is currently 3 on 2. The match will happen at FINAL GATE in Fukuoka next month.
Tanisaki accepted the Super Shisa challenge from this past Korakuen, so he will be the next Brave challenger. Shisa swore he would not be Implanted.
The good Doctor once again showed off Susumu-ish tendencies. He managed to escape a mask assault from Gamma at the end, so his identity remains a mystery.
Mochi and Fujii passed on a rematch, since they are Triangle champions and have the Veteran/Young Generation war to focus on. Instead, CIMA and Gamma will get the next shot. YAMATO called them a comedy duo.
YAMATO also had his SUPER-J CUP 2009 participation confirmed, for 12/22 & 23.
Hulk and Doi shook hands after the main, no new challenger appeared yet. Presumably since the next challenger will be whoever wins King of Gate.
As they were leaving on the ramp, Ryo and Dr. Muscle attacked Hulk, going after his hair. Maybe that cage match isn't going to be 3 on 2 after all.
The attendance figure is identical to the 2008 GATE OF DESTINY. Last year was widely regarded as the best DG show of 2008. The only praised match thus far has been the Twin.

Hulkamania tour 11-26 in Brisbane
By Nathan Spurling
It was really a one match show, as you'd expect. Everyone was there for Hogan v Flair and were vocal for it. Everything else was pretty bad, people heckled a lot of wrestlers they had no idea who they were. When introducing wrestlers like Nick Dinsmore and Sean Morley, they had to put photos up on the big screen so people could realise who they were.. even then, most were met with a lot of "Whose that?"
Pimp Fatha beat Heidenreich in a short, bad match. They botched the roll up finish too.
Shannon Moore and Spartan 3000 went to a time limit draw. The best match on the card, but that's not saying much. The crowd cheered Spartan due to the movie '300', but he was the clear heel. They teased a ladder match after, but Spartan bailed, setting it up for the Sydney show.
Sean Morley beat Nick Dinsmore. Morley did his 'hello ladies' shtick. Dinsmore was total Eugene, even his old WWE costume. Morley won after ripping up a stuffed Koala Bear, Dinsmore got upset, then punted in the head. Morley's out of shape.
They did a very lame Bikini contest with the 3 women. No idea who they were. Lacey didn't do it.
INTERMISSION
Second half was a lot better. Mr Anderson and Brutus Beefcake beat Umaga and Orlando Jordan. Anderson worked most of the match, and despite earlier reports, wasn't in too bad of shape. Beefcake did nothing.
A 4 on 4 elimination match saw Rikisihi, Brian Christopher and Nasty Boys beat Rock of Love, Vampire Warrior and Black Pearl. A clusterfuck. First Christopher was pinned quickly. Then it broke down. Nasty Boys were DQed for brawling outside with Rock of Lobe. Then Rock of Love were counted out, leaving Kishi against the other 2. Kishi pinned Black Pearl and won, even though Warrior was never pinnned. Just retarded.
They did a backstage bit where Warrior and Pearl attacked Kishi and Brian setting up a match Sunday in Sydney.
Main event.. Hulk pinned Flair in about 10 minutes. Hogan didn't take any bumps.. bled right away ( and some idiot fan, after he bladed, wiped his hand over Hulk's forehead to see if it was real). Flair bladed eventually. Brawled a lot around ring. Lacey was with Flair and got involved, Hulk dropped her, Flair fell in her crotch etc. Umaga, Jordan did run ins. Funniest bit was Flair chopping and punching Umaga to fire him up. Hulk eventually used Jimmy Hart's megaphone to knock Flair out and win.
Crowd loved Flair and Hulk.
Overall, a dud show besides the main event, which was purely for nostalgia reasons. Both are out of shape (first time Ive seen Hulk really sag in stomach and chest area), and was kind of sad to see them wrestle in front of a bad crowd, this out of shape.
I can see why people left early in Melbourne.. if I had to pay the 350 for the ticket I got, Id be very upset at wasting that kind of money on this event.

Davey Richards ricevette un'offerta dalla WWE
Davey Richards ha recentemente affermato di aver ricevuto anche lui un'offerta da parte della WWE come accaduto per Danielson e McGuinness, dando però risposta negativa.
Update sul libro di Hulk Hogan
Nella seconda settimana il libro di Hulk Hogan è sceso dalla posizione numero 12 alla 32.
TNA Update
Samoa Joe pare sia il favorito per vincere la world title shot nel feast or fired match.
I piani iniziali riguardanti il world title vedevano una vittoria di Angle su AJ Styles, con il primo che avrebbe poi affrontato Bobby Lashley dietro un sacco di hype. Tutti i piani scritti qualche mese fa sono stati cestinati.
Per quanto riguarda Sting, l'idea è di non farlo tornare in tv sino a Gennaio, quando avrà inizio la "nuova era" con l'arrivo di Hulk Hogan. L'assenza di Sting alla prevista intervista non era anch'essa prevista nei piani iniziali. Sting verrà quindi usato per fare crescere i dubbi sul perchè non si sia presentato a parlare di Hulk Hogan.

X Pac dovrtebbe tornare nel giro di 3 settimane, probabilmente entrando nella Foreign Legion.
Teddy Hart è coinvolto nei problemi di sempre. Non presta attenzione ai consigli a lui rivolti e si ostina ad usare a suo piacimento il piledriver, mossa usata raramente e solo per i strechter job.

UFC 106 news
I fans presenti all'arena per UFC 106 erano 10,529, 223 in meno per il sellout, però solamente 6,631 erano paganti, con un incasso pari a $3,003,250.
Hulkamania Tour news
Lo show di debutto alla Rod Laver Arena dell'Hulkamania Tour ha visto presenti, secondo il box office, 8.000 fans, fra paganti e non. Considerato che le spese di produzione sono state simili ai vecchi Nitro, infatti in molti hanno giudicato il set migliore dei live events WWE, per il promoter locale non è stato certo un successo.
Il secondo show svoltosi in Perth, Western Australia, ha visto presenti 2,500 fans; c'è da ricordare che nell'ultima settimana vi era la possibilità di acquistare un biglietto e riceverne uno gratis.
Le apettative dei promoters era di ottenere dei sellout nelle quattro arene in Melbourne(arena che contiene 17.000 fans), Perth, Sidney e Brisbane.

Results of the second Hogan vs. Flair show on 11-24 in Perth
Results of the second Hogan vs. Flair show on 11-24 in Perth
�
I attended the second leg of the Hulkamania tour tonight in Perth, Australia.
�
�
The setup was decent, with a big screen periodically playing backstage vignettes throughout the night and a ring adorned with red and yellow Hulkamania ropes. Music and titantrons were all generic.
�
Crowd was shy to start off with, but got into the show as it went along and were really hot for the main event.
�
Here are the results:
�
Match 1 - Rikishi & Brian Christopher def. Rock Of Love
�
Basic match built around Rikishi setting up and eventually performing the stinkface. It got a decent pop from the crowd. Rikishi sat on a guy for the win. Rikishi, Christopher and the referee danced after the match,
�
Match 2 � Shannon Moore def. Spartan 3000 Matt Cross
�
It was announced this was the 2nd match in a best of 3 series to win $25,000.� Matt Cross has a Spartan warrior gimmick. Moore won with a corkscrew moonsault, tieing the series at 1-1. Moore looked good, I could see him fitting in OK in TNA.
�
Match 3 � Rosey def. Godfather (w/Ho�s) and Val Venis in a Three Way Dance
�
Rosey came out in his old superhero gear. According to his titantron, his ring name was Big Daddy Row Row. Val Venis heeled on the crowd before the match. Godfather�s Ho�s got the second biggest pop of the night. Basically Rosey and Godfather teaming up on Val. Funny moment where Rosey was hitting jabs on Val and the crowd chanted �S.H.I.T.� with each punch. Rosey pinned Val with a samoan drop. Rosey and Godfather left together with the Ho�s after the match.
�
Match 4 � Heidenreich & Gangrel & Black Pearl def. Nasty Boys & Eugene (w/Jimmy Hart)
�
Heidenreich was doing the Heidenwalk. Gangrel did the blood spit. Lots of stalling in this match, the heels got the heat on Eugene as the Nasty Boys pumped up the crowd. Sags looks in really good shape, Knobs not so much. At one point as the heels worked on Eugene, Gangrel screamed �Kill that retard!�. Probably the worst match of the night. Jimmy Hart doesn�t seem to age. Heidenreich ended up pinning Eugene with a sidewalk slam. Nastys teased using some plunder, but didn�t deliver.
�
Intermission
�
Bikini Contest
�
3 unknowns came out and Godfather hosted. It ended up breaking down into a pillow fight.
�
Match 5 � Orlando Jordan def. Ken Kennedy
�
Kennedy did his pre-match mic routine but said �Mr Anderson� instead. Orlando�s theme music has a line saying �All the girls love me, and all the guys want to get with me�. Probably the best match of the night, they worked well together. Orlando got the pin using the ropes.
�
Match 6 � Umaga def. Brutus Beefcake (w/Jimmy Hart)
�
Strange matchup. Very short, with Umaga getting the pin after the Samoan Spike. Brutus sold it big time and was helped to the back afterwards.
�
Match 6 � Hulk Hogan def. Ric Flair (w/Lacey Von Erich)
�
Before the match, the ring announcer said this is now No DQ. Deafening reactions for both Hogan and Flair. Hogan came out to the WCW American Made theme music. Both bled heavily very early in the match. Lots of chops to Hogan, he took his only back bump in the match from one of them. Hogan threw Flair off the top rope. Flair did the full moon spot. Orlando Jordan and Heidenreich came out and started beating down Hogan, but the Nasty Boys made the save and also gave Flair Pitty City. Hogan and Flair crowd brawled for a while. At one point Jimmy Hart came out and pulled Lacey Von Erich off the apron, accidentally exposing her ass for a moment. Hogan also gave her an atomic drop. Umaga then came out and beat up on Hogan and gave him the corner splash. Hogan then Hulked up, gave Flair a terrible big boot then clocked him with Jimmy Hart�s megaphone for the pin.
�
Hogan did his posing routine for a few minutes after the match to end the show.
�
In retrospect, the show was nothing special. The action was basic, and the spectacle of the main event got really cheapened by all the run-ins. However, it was worth it for the chance to see both Hogan and Flair live, especially here in isolated Western Australia.

Rey Mysterio Update
Per poter tornare il prima possibile, Rey Mysterio ha deciso di sottoporsi ad un intervento chirurgico meno invasivo rispetto ai piani iniziali, che lo avrebbero visto fuori dalle scene per 6-9 mesi. In questo modo, invece, Rey potrebbe rientrare in tempo per il ppv Royal Rumble e rimandare a più avanti l'intervento chirurgico necessario per un completo risanamento dei legamenti crociati anteriori.

WWE Survivor Series live coverage from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC

Welcome to our live coverage of the WWE Survivor Series from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. We're looking for your thoughts on tonight's show, so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with the best and worst match to dave@wrestlingobserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
The Miz & Jack Swagger & Drew McIntyre & Sheamus & Dolph Ziggler vs. Fit Finlay & Matt Hardy & Evan Bourne & Shelton Benjamin & John Morrison opens the show.
Match went almost exactly like you would predict. There was a legit injury as Scott Armstrong, the ref, in the middle of a brawl, saw Sheamus lose his footing and nailed the back of Armstrong's head with a knee and he suffered a concussion. Since Armstrong is no longer in an angle, the announcers were not allowed to mention his name. They had a ref replacement in mid-match and just said the ref suffered a concussion.
Bourne pinned Ziggler with a shooting star press
Seconds later, McIntyre pinned Bourne after a double arm DDT
Sheamus and Finlay squared off and Sheamus nailed Finlay with a high kick for the pin
Morrison pinned Swagger with the Starship pain
Miz pinned Benjamin with the skull crushing finale
McIntyre pinned Hardy with the double arm DDT
This left Morrison against all three, and as he came off the ropes with a springboard move, he got kicked in the knee by Sheamus. Sheamus pinned Morrison with the old Razor's Edge so Sheamus, Miz and McIntyre with the three survivors.
Team Kofi had a backstage talk. Christian noted he was different from the others. We were supposed to think he's the only white boy. Instead, he said he was the only guy from ECW and the only Canadian. Never said he was the only champion. Then he did a rap and talked about being the old white member of the team.
Rey Mysterio vs. Batista
Batista got cheered heavily here. They did what appeared to be a blow-off of the program as Batista destroyed Mysterio in a short match, using three Batista bombs until ref Jack Doan stopped the match ruling Mysterio unable to continue. The crowd was 90% or more for Batista wanting him to finish Mysterio. After the match Batista gave him a spinebuster on a chair and the crowd chanted "One more time." It should be noted Batista is from DC which is why he was such a strong babyface here, but it was surprising how much the crowd cheered for Batista to destroy him. Mysterio is going out on a stretcher here so I guess he's getting surgery earlier than he had planned.
We had a Team Orton team meeting. Orton said when he picked Regal and Punk, he expected them to be champions. Punk came back and said he expected the team leader not to get humiliated by Kofi Kingston in MSG.
Team Orton (C.M. Punk & William Regal & Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton) vs. Team Kofi (Kofi Kingston & Mark Henry & MVP & R-Truth & Christian)
The match story was to get Kingston over as a major player since he pinned Orton at the end. Crowd was pretty dead until the last few minutes
Orton pinned Henry with an RKO in 50 seconds
Punk pinned R-Truth with the GTS
Christian pinned DiBiase with the killswitch
MVP pinned Regal with the kekka kick
Rhodes pinned MVP with Crossroads
Orton pinned Christian with the RKO
This left Kingston with Punk and Orton. Kingston wrestled Punk for 7 minutes with Orton never tagging in. Orton distracted Kingston and Punk got behind for a rolling reverse cradle, but Kingston reversed and got the pin. Orton jumped in for the RKO, but Kingston beat him to the punch with the Trouble in Paradise. They pushed the idea that Kingston pinned two former world champions in six seconds.
Basic stuff so far this show with the idea of elevating a few people.
Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho for the World title
Good match here. Show & Jericho worked together until Jericho had Undertaker in the Walls of Jericho but Show used a choke slam. Lots of near falls with the third person saving. Show blocked he codebreaker and choke slammed Jericho. He went for a choke slam on Undertaker, but Undertaker reversed it into the gogoplata and Show tapped out. Undertaker's mouth was busted just before the finish when a potato shot by Show.
The Miz, Drew McIntyre & Sheamus together were being interviewed. Miz said the three are going to revolutionizing the industry. Teased Sheamus vs. Jerry Lawler coming soon, probably tomorrow.
Team Mickie James (Mickie James & Melina & Kelly Kelly & Eve Torres & Gail Kim) vs. Team Michelle McCool (Michelle McCool & Jillian Hall & Alicia Fox & Beth Phoenix & Layla
Kind of strange booking because it ended with Michelle McCool with two faces, James and Kim so the psychology was kind of screwy, before Melina (who wasn't in the ring until the last 90 seconds) pinned McCool
Kelly pinned Layla jumping on her back
McCool pinned Kim with the faith breaker
Torres pinned Hall with a sunset flip off he top rope
Phoenix pinned Torres with the Glam Slam
Phoenix pinned Kelly with the Glam Slam
James pinned Phoenix with the crucifix
James pinned Fox with a Thesz press off the top rope
Melina pinned McCool to win the match
John Cena vs. HHH vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWE title ends the show. No video previewing this match.
Good match, the only match on the show that was really anything special. Michaels superkicked HHH at the start of the match so there was never a period they were working together. Crowd was booing Cena throughout the match. A lot of near falls with and near submissions. At one point Michaels superkicked both HHH and Cena but then he collapsed and couldn't get the pin. The finish saw Michaels superkicked HHH as he went to pedigree Cena. Cena then gave Michaels an Attitude Adjustment and Cena pinned HHH to retain the title.
