Highlights on the Angle/Rock match at last nights No Way Out.

The Rock comes to the ring. I liked it last week when they had matches to start the show, not a damn interview. He’s champion again…wonderful. Angle showed Rock 2 sides last night. A vicious side, when he kicked out of the People’s Elbow, and almost snapped his ankle. Then he saw the other side, the one that cried as he walked away from the ring in defeat. Rock then pokes fun at Angle, mocking him in a whining voice. He says that if Angle “wants to bitch about it, then come out and bitch to The Rock.” Stone Cold then comes out. He lost last night…I knew he would, somehow. Austin has some stuff to get off his chest. He gives Rock a congrats to winning last night. The only advice Austin gives Rock is to stay healthy, and then he tries to leave. Rock calls him back. Rock then gives Austin some advice, to get ready. A stare down ensues. Rock gets up in Austin’s face and says, “If you smell what The Rock is cooking.” Rock is smiling, maybe he’s gonna kiss Austin.

Regal waiting in the parking lot. He wants to try and reason with Mr. McMahon. Stephanie comes out and tells him that Vince won’t reason with him, and then tells Regal to get dressed for the match.

Commercials…Kurt Angle’s new Call ATT commercial.

Regal still waiting in the parking lot.

Radicalz in the lockerroom. Benoit and Eddie have a tag match against X-Pac and Credible. Eddie is upset that Benoit and him fought during the match last night. Benoit and Eddie start to fight, but Malenko and Saturn break it up, and they seem to make amends.

Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit vs. Justin Credible & X-Pac
Credible and Eddie start going back and forth. Eddie with the upper hand, and tags in Benoit. X-Pac now in, double teaming on Benoit. Benoit blocks a hip toss, tries to lock on the Crossface, but Credible breaks it up. Eddie in, X-Pac hits a spin heel kick on Eddie, and attempts to hit the Bronco Buster, but Eddie moves out of the way and hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Eddie works on X-Pac, but Credible comes in and they hit a double superkick to KO Eddie. Crippler breaks up the pinfall, and tags in. He beats on both X-Pac and Credible. He nails the German Suplex cubed on Credible, and goes to the top for the Swandive Headbutt, but X-Pac rolls Credible out of the way. X-Pac then rolls Benoit up for the pin. Benoit seems a tad angry that Eddie didn’t break up the pinfall.
Winners – Credible and X-Pac

Vince is in his dressing room with Trish. He is mixing some sort of slop in a mop bucket. He says that they will use this in the match tonight. Angle storms in and demands a rematch with Rock. He doesn’t care if it’s not for the belt, he just wants to hurt The Rock. Vince will take it under consideration.

Al Snow is at WWF NY. He is campaigning to be the next WWF Commish. On his list of things to do while Commish, is to bring in more midgets! That would rule! Another it to eliminate the British presence on WWF TV, namely Regal.

Steph goes the her corner, but Regal walks. Vince on da mic. Says that he always gets what he wants. Regal gets the slop bucket in the ring. They are gonna slop Steph! Vince tells Trish to come in and get it, then brings Trish in the hard way…hmmm. Regal, Vince, and Steph circle around Trish, then Steph wipes the slop on Trish, then puts her head in the bucket. Wow, a double, double cross! Vince says that Trish was the boss’s little toy, and the problem with toys, is that after awhile, they get to be boring…now I know why I seem to keep buying new WWF action figures. Trish is laying in the ring soaked in slop. That was pretty cool!
