Report for 411 by Sean McCluskey

Everyone have a safe and happy New Year. I know I’m going to have a good time! Woohooooo!

Steph talks to JR in the back and announces some matches for tonight. However, I want to keep all my readers on the edges of their seats, so I won’t repeat them (even though you can just scroll down to see them…).

And here’s one of them…

Why is Fink announcing Raw and Smackdown this week?

Chris Jericho Vs Edge & Christian
Jericho puts Christian in a quick roll up for a two count. Edge comes in and takes out Jericho. Christian goes to work on Y2J in the corner then tags in Edge.

Jericho hits a lionsault on Edge but Christian breaks up the pinfall. Walls of jericho on Edge. Christian distracts the ref while Edge taps out. Steph is out and gets Jericho to break the hold. The ref is over telling Steph to get out of the ring now. Christian comes back in and lands the impaler on Jericho. Edge covers for the three count.

Commercials… I’ll show you mayhem…

Commercials…

Review of the Chyna interview. Now think about it, if this really happened, she wouldn’t say that she hates Val and RTC. You didn’t hear Austin saying that he hated Owen Hart when he nearly broke his neck with a piledriver.

Okay, Val and Ivory do an extremely stupid reenactment of the Chyna interview. Val looks kinda funny dressed up as Ross though.

Commercials… Yeah, that Save The Last Dance movie looks pretty horrible. Speaking of flicks, I watched Fargo for the first time yesterday. Pretty awesome movie. The Coen Brothers rock.

Why, if Kurt Angle has won an Olympic Gold Medal, does he have two gold medals around his neck. That’s cornfusing…

WWF Title Match
Buh Buh Ray Dudley Vs Angle Rules! (c)
Buh Buh and Angle trade shots to start. Buh Buh misses a clothesline and Angle lands a german suplex. Now Angle lands a neckbreaker on Buh Buh. Huge WHOOOOOOO chops by Buh Buh on Angle.

Buh Buh lands a side suplex for another two count. Angle hits a belly to belly suplex for two. Angle lands a low blow and rolls Buh Buh up for the win. Weak.
Winner and Still Champ: Kurt Angle

Buh Buh attacks Kurt and lands a full nelson slam/buh buh bomb. Edge and Christian come out and assault Buh Buh. Now D-Von is out. Flying nut buster on Angle. D-Von grabs a table and sets it up. Angle hits an olympic slam on Buh Buh through the table!

Commercials…

Steph is out. She says her New Year’s resolution is to gain respect from all wrestlers in the WWF. She goes on saying that all the faces in the matches so far tonight got what they deserved. Austin cuts Steph off, thank God… Austin says that the only thing that he wants is a WWF title shot. Steph says that Austin deserves one. I thought they weren’t allowed to curse on Smackdown… Great, it’s the making of another Austin/McMahon feud. Austin grabs some beers. He toast one with Steph and beer goes all over Steph’s dress. Now Austin dumps beer all over Steph!

Commercials…

Bradshaw and Bull are in to start. Bradshaw lands some hard shots on Bull and tags in Faarooq. Bull gains control and tags in Goodfather. Double team face buster on Faarooq. Now Ivory tags in. Jackie tags herself in and spears Ivory. The Acolytes and RTC rumble as Ivory rolls up Jackie for the win. Blah.
Winners: RTC

Venis comes out from the back and helps take on the Acolytes. Here comes Billy Gunn and he cleans house. This feud sucks.

Commercials… Alright, if they HAVE to torture me with Truth.com commercials, at least they can show different ones. Hm, a Smackdown promo with Rikishi and Too Cool together…

Tension between T&A. Albert says “Don’t cross the boss…”

Jeff goes for a high risk move off of the ladder but Raven with the FIRE EXTINGUISHER OF DOOM! Even flow DDT on Jeff followed by a cover and the three count.

Rock interview… nothing special. Typical KK insult, damn him. Rock admits to eating glue in High School. Well, something like that…

Commercials… If anyone hasn’t seen The Three Faces Of Foley, I suggest you order the Fanatix series of that. It’s pretty awesome.
