The NWO, which is now adding names for Austin to beat up from week to week. In addition to that, I’m sure there’s a good chance that we’re going to get more of Austin vs. MUST CREDIT ME WHEN USED, DO NOT UPLOAD TO YOUR OWN WAREHOUSE COLLECTION AND TAKE CREDIT FOR IT YOURSELF, ESPECIALLY YOU JACK WIDOW, COPYRIGHTS SHALL BE ISSUED IF ANY OF THESE ARE NOT MET, AmericanFootball Arena BRAGGINGRIGHTS It’s the first night of the Undertaker regime and that means we’re getting closer to King of the Ring. The most detailed stage model for the wwe show smackdown of the year 2001 to 2002 , big thanks the JOSF for the fist.

Theyre like Cliffs Notes for your. Com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Let’s get to it.Jacob Wrestles With God. Big Show, I think we’re good.

There’s a lot more effort here than in most of these, though the fact that he was only 39 makes it even harder to accept. We open with a rest in peace video for the British Bulldog.

Makes sense given their history but doesn’t make a ton of sense given Flair as a smart heel who would want to stay on Undertaker’s good side.X-Pac and Big Show here. Undertaker thinks Van Dam is thick between the ears and the fight is on with Rob kicking him down and hitting a Five Star.Undertaker demands a match with Van Dam tonight so Ric Flair makes it a title match. We keep hearing about respect as Van Dam crawls into the ring. As Undertaker keeps talking, the referees are STILL checking on Van Dam, which means we’re just waiting on him to get up and do something else.

I can’t picture this pair of screwups being the best idea for a team.The brothers get smart and try to double team X-Pac, only to get thrown around by Show. Show gets in his big beatdown segment but it’s back to X-Pac who misses a charge in the corner. Matt comes in with a Side Effect but Show realizes that he’s Big and runs Matt over from the apron.

It’s amazing what happens when you get rid of Hall and let X-Pac do most of the wrestling. This is where the NWO belongs: as a tag team who can probably beat some lower level pairings but aren’t quite good enough to go after the Tag Team Titles, mainly because they don’t exist on Raw at this point. With things going horribly for the NWO, here’s Goldust as Elvis for an accidental distraction, allowing Jeff to grab a rollup for the pin.Rating: D+.

Did anyone ask Matt and Jeff if they’re cool with this?Women’s Title: Trish Stratus vs. Somehow this gets us to Goldust/Booker T. Maybe Flair should have joined. Denied, but it’s suggested.The NWO argues over who should be the leader.

This was actually pretty good while it lasted but the time hurt it, as is always the case.Heyman and Lesnar come out and threaten Trish with violence if she doesn’t go out with Paul. Lawler: “I’d like to be her thigh master.” Jackie misses a charge in the corner and the bulldog retains the title. Trish fights up with forearms and a suplex for two. A headlock doesn’t get Jackie anywhere but an armdrag into an armbar works a bit better. Jackie slaps her in the chest to start, giving Lawler his favorite spot in years.

Bubba Ray DudleyBubba is challenging and starts fast with a slam and those big elbows. What do you even say to something like this?Rob Van Dam isn’t going to listen to the doctor who tells him not to wrestle tonight.European Title: William Regal vs. This time he eats hair as he gets it cut and washes it down with something called Barbicide, which is apparently a disinfectant. Isn’t that how you should open the show?Tommy Dreamer is still gross and one person continues to laugh.

Flair admits that he’s made some mistakes over the years but there are too few to mention. Cue Lesnar for the DQ.After an F5, Molly slips Regal the knuckles to knock Bubba out again.Here are Flair and Arn Anderson for the 10pm chat. The Flip Flop and Fly have Regal in trouble and it’s table time for no logical reason. Molly Holly, in Regal’s corner here, trips Bubba to let Regal take over but the guys slam heads for a double knockdown.

The Side Effect puts Goldust down but here’s the NWO to kick Goldust in the back of the head. That’s why your wife left you.” Some forearms put Matt down to start and Booker dances around a bit before tagging Goldust in. Raven: “You don’t know much about relationships Lawler. JR asks about Goldust and Booker’s relationship.

Booker is officially on the team and seems very happy about it because Nash is just so darn inspirational.Eddie Guerrero is at the bar as well and sends Debra a teddy bear. Can the boss just assign people to stables? Anyway Kevin Nash comes out to take charge of the group and rips into them like a bunch of losers. Show points out that they never invited Booker to join the team, which makes you wonder WHY HE’S STILL THERE. They yell at each other over their actions last night with Booker saying X-Pac can’t get laid. Booker isn’t cool with X-Pac and Big Show interfering because it cost him a match. I don’t see this being funny.Back in the ring, Goldust is still down with the NWO around him.

A bunch of right hands and rams into the buckle have the crowd all entertained and knock Raven loopy. They head outside so Raven can yell at JR but Lawler gets all fired up and takes the strap down. It’s booed off the stage as expected.Raven starts with some basic stuff and Lawler gets a bit more height than I was expecting off a backdrop. A challenge is issued for later tonight.Debra asks Austin to sing but Eddie takes the mic and sings….I have no idea actually. Raven gets on a regular mic and yells at Lawler for only talking about puppies.

Since this is 2002 Austin, he turns his back on Eddie and gets a beer bottle broken over his head. Then again, the insults he got in on Lawler were pure gold and more than make up for the loss.Austin sings Margaritaville but Eddie doesn’t like it. That being said, I really don’t get the idea of having Raven walking out instead of just taking the pin. They can’t even have Raven do a job for Lawler in Memphis? I’m fine with Jerry doing this once or twice a year to give the fans a quick thrill because nothing the company is going to put out there is going to fire them up like a quick Lawler match.

UndertakerVan Dam is challenging and his eye probably isn’t healed up yet. It’s going to suck for the Intercontinental Title but at least they’re elevating someone.Undisputed Title: Rob Van Dam vs. Guerrero is a huge improvement over the NWO nonsense.

The chokeslam is broken up and Undertaker goes into the exposed buckle. Undertaker gets back inside but can’t hit the Last Ride.Instead he ribs off a buckle pad but opts to elbow Rob in the face instead. A clothesline puts Undertaker on the floor and Van Dam is right back out there with some kicks to the back. Undertaker crotches himself with a missed big boot and some kicks get some two counts.

There’s a lot of bad stuff on here and it’s certainly not a good show but WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT this was over recent weeks. It’s amazing how much fun you can have when you get surprised by something like this and buy that they did something like that.Overall Rating: D+. I remember watching this live but I had missed the foot being on the rope.
