411’s WWE Heat Report 06.10.07
Hey guys and gals, I’m Scott, and this is 411’s WWE Heat Report.
Welcome back to the best damn Heat Report on the net. You’re probably aware that unlike Raw and Smackdown!, Heat is now available exclusively on WWE.com. The video-on-demand nature of Heat allows me to screen each episode for you while still allowing you to watch all or part of the show after reading my report. I want this column to be a resource to help you decide which segments are worth watching and which segments are worth skipping. However, I also want to cover each segment in detail for those of you who do not have the time, the desire, or the ability to watch Heat yourself. I’m going to try and meet both of these goals by separating this column into a preview and a review. The preview will include the title of each segment, the tag line for each segment, the running time for each segment, and the non-spoiler bottom line on whether or not the segment is worth watching. The review will include a detailed description of all of the action in each segment. Okay kids, enough with the boring stuff. Let’s get to the wrestling.
The Preview
Segment 1: Kickin’ Off With Chuck
Tag Line: Chuck Palumbo takes on Steve Madison in this week’s Heat opener.
Running Time: 5:00
Bottom Line: Sure, some of you might think that both of those guys sound like jobbers, but Palumbo is the actual wrestler in this case. That makes this your typical big man squash match, but it’s actually pretty good as far as big man squash matches go. Palumbo looks good and has a move set that really compliments his physique. There’s certainly nothing flashy or ground breaking about this match, but it might be worth watching as Palumbo once again begins to climb up the WWE ladder. Watch it.
Segment 2: Diva Delight
Tag Line: Watch Victoria battle Mickie James in a hot Divas match.
Running Time: 7:15
Bottom Line: Mickie James and Victoria are, without a doubt, the two best female wrestlers on television today. I was tempted to call them the two best female wrestlers in the world, but I’ve heard some amazing things about Sara Del Rey lately. Anyway, this is the best possible women’s pairing you’ll see in WWE these days, and Mickie and Victoria don’t disappoint here. They throw in a nice variety of moves and some fast paced action in order to make the most of the time they’re given. I’d love to see these two wrestle each other on Heat every week. Watch it.
Segment 3: Super Special
Tag Line: He might not be faster than a speeding bullet, but Eugene is in action against Lance Lovett.
Running Time: 5:58
Bottom Line: Every once in a great long while the stars align and one of Eugene’s matches doesn’t absolutely suck monkey balls. This is not one of those times. It’s actually just four minutes of Eugene acting like a moron and some jobber losing all of his dignity in the process. There’s nothing here that we haven’t all been subjected to on numerous occasions already, and I’m beginning to think that Eugene’s new superhero gimmick may make him even more annoying than he was in the past. Skip it.
Segment 4: World’s Greatest Finish
Tag Line: Charlie Hass & Shelton Benjamin take on The Highlanders in this week’s Heat main event.
Running Time: 9:36
Bottom Line: So Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin might have been demoted from pay-per-view back down to Heat, but they still manage to put on one hell of a performance against The Highlanders. This probably isn’t a Heat MOTYC, but it is one of the better tag team matches we’ve seen on Heat in quite some time. All four guys really seem to work well together in the ring, and that leads to a match that actually feels like a satisfying main event for this week’s episode. Watch it.
The Review
Segment 1: Kickin’ Off With Chuck
(Chuck Palumbo vs. Steve Madison)
We start off with the new WWE: The Power is Back video followed by the Heat opening video. Todd Grisham, alongside Jonathan Coachman, welcomes us to Heat. Chuck Palumbo’s music hits, and the man himself rides down to the ring on a motorcycle. Hmm, that’s funny. Didn’t he used to ride down to the ring on Billy Gunn? Dude, that was lame, even for me. I promised myself I wasn’t going to make any Billy & Chuck jokes, and then I break down in the fifth freaking sentence. But hey, if any gimmick in wrestling history deserves to be ridiculed until then end of time, then it’s Billy & Chuck. Okay, them and the Shockmaster. But anyway, Palumbo rides around the ring on his motorcycle and inadvertently provides us with yet another bit of comedy. Todd Grisham is on commentary and says that he’s sitting next to Jonathan Coachman at the exact instant that Palumbo rides in front of the announce table and clearly shows that there is, in fact, no announce team present. In fact, the entire announce table is still covered with a large black sheet at this point. That was simply brilliant timing by all involved. At any rate, Palumbo finally completes his ride around the ring and parks his motorcycle near the base of the ramp before climbing up onto the ring apron and hitting the corner to pose for the crowd. Palumbo jumps into the ring where Steve Madison is already waiting for him, and at this point I’m starting to wonder why all of Palumbo’s gimmicks vaguely resemble on of the Village People. And speaking of which, what the hell ever happened to Kanyon? But I digress. Both men seem ready for action, so the referee signals for the bell, and this match is officially underway.
Palumbo and Madison circle each other to start before locking each other up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Madison quickly transitions to a standing rear hammer lock on Palumbo, but Palumbo breaks the hold with an elbow shot to the side of Madison’s head. Palumbo hits the ropes, charges at Madison, and absolutely levels him with a running shoulder block. Palumbo drags Madison back to his feet, muscles him to the corner, and slams him back-first into the top turnbuckle. Palumbo gives Madison a shoulder thrust to the gut, whips him to the opposite corner, and charges after him, but Madison gets a boot up and plants it right in Palumbo’s face. Palumbo staggers back to the middle of the ring and Madison charges towards him, but Palumbo gathers himself and damn near decapitates Madison with a running clothesline. Palumbo drags Madison back to his feet, gives him a scoop slam, hits the ropes, and goes for an elbow drop, but Madison just manages to roll out of the way. Both men get back to their feet and Madison lands five consecutive punches to Palumbo’s face, but Palumbo shoves Madison away and then drops him with a single punch to the face.
Palumbo drags Madison back to his feet, give him five forearm shots to the side of the head, whips him to the ropes, and once again levels him with a running back elbow shot to the face. Palumbo again drags Madison back to his feet but immediately takes his head off with a vicious clothesline. Palumbo once again drags Madison back to his feet, whips him to the corner, and charges after him, but Madison manages to catch Palumbo with a back elbow shot to the face. Madison charges towards Palumbo, but Palumbo catches him with a spectacular belly-to-belly suplex. Both men get back to their feet, but Palumbo hits the ropes and immediately connects with a running Big Boot to Madison’s head. Palumbo drags Madison back to his feet, lifts him up onto his shoulder, and connects with the Full Throttle (i.e., a modified Yokosuka Cutter). Palumbo covers Madison and gets the three count. Palumbo’s music hits as the referee raises his hand in victory. Palumbo hits the corner to pose for the crowd as Madison lies motionless on the mat.
We finish up with a commercial for The Most Powerful Families in Wrestling DVD, available now.
Match Result: Chuck Palumbo defeats Steve Madison with the Full Throttle.
Match Lenght: 2:16
Best Spot: Palumbo’s belly-to-belly suplex
Segment 2: Diva Delight
(Mickie James vs. Victoria)
“I ain’t the lady to mess with!” Victoria’s music hits, and Victoria makes her way down to the ring looking hella hot and yet mildly terrifying all at the same time. But mostly hot. Victoria climbs up onto the ring apron and then slingshots into the ring before hitting the ropes to pose rather enticingly for the crowd. Suddenly Mickie James’ music hits, and WWE’s hottest Diva (Yeah, I said it. And it’s true. It’s DAMN true.) makes her way down to the ring. By the way, for those of you who keep track of such things, Mickie has donned her old Alexis Laree gear for this particular match. Mickie slides into the ring and hits the corner to, um, excite the crowd. I’m going to have to type this whole segment with only one hand. Both Divas seem ready for action (dude…), so the referee signals or the bell, and this match is officially underway.
Mickie and Victoria circle each other to start before locking each other up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Victoria quickly transitions to a standing side head lock on Mickie. Mickie tries to whip Victoria to the ropes to break the hold, but Victoria puts on the breaks and maintains her hold on Mickie. Victoria brings Mickie down to the mat with a head lock takeover, but Mickie catches Victoria with a head scissors to break the hold. Victoria rolls to her stomach and flips forward into a jackknife pin on Mickie, but Mickie bridges up and counters into a backslide pin on Victoria. Mickie has Victoria pinned but only gets a two count before Victoria kicks out.
Both Divas get back to their feet and Mickie catches Victoria with a standing side head lock, but Victoria whips Mickie to the ropes to break the hold. Mickie comes off the ropes and drops Victoria with a running shoulder block before hitting the ropes and doing a cartwheel over Victoria. Victoria gets back to her feet, but Mickie catches her with a head scissors takedown. Mickie rolls to her stomach and wrenches on Victoria’s neck, but Victoria kicks out of the hold and both Divas spring back to their feet. Victoria catches Mickie with a knee shot to the gut, whips her to the ropes, waits for her to rebound, and goes for a hip toss, but Mickie blocks with a kick to the gut and then counters with a modified arm drag takedown. Both Divas again get back to their feet, but Mickie traps Victoria in the corner and connects with two more kicks to the gut. Mickie goes for a Monkey Flip, but Victoria blocks and throws Mickie back down to the mat. Mickie gets back up to her knees, but Victoria tries to decapitate her with a brutal kick to the face. Victoria covers Mickie but only gets a two count before Mickie kicks out. Victoria again covers Mickie but again only gets a two count before Mickie kicks out.
Victoria drags Mickie back to her feet, grabs her by the hair, and flings her across the ring. Mickie begins to use the ropes to get back to her feet, but Victoria connects with another kick to the head. Victoria gives Mickie another light kick to the head and then slaps her across the back of the head just to toy with her, but Mickie fights back with two punches to Victoria’s gut. Mickie gets back to her feet and lands a punch to Victoria’s face, but Victoria retaliates with a clubbing forearm shot to Mickie’s back. Victoria drags Mickie back to her feet, whips her to the corner, and charges after her, but Mickie connects with a back elbow shot to Victoria’s face. Mickie catches Victoria in a head scissors and goes for a hurricanrana, but Victoria counters into a catapult that sends Mickie all the way over and face-first down to the mat. Victoria rolls through into a Boston Crab, but Mickie valiantly refuses to submit. Mickie eventually counters into a roll-up pin but only gets a two count before Victoria kicks out. Both Divas get back to their feet and Victoria takes a swing at Mickie, but Mickie ducks the punch and counters into a crucifix pin. Mickie has Victoria covered but only gets a two count before Victoria rolls through.
Both Divas get back to their feet, but Victoria immediately drops Mickie with a kick to the throat. Victoria drags Mickie back to her feet and gives her a scoop slam followed by ten mounted slaps to the face. Victoria steps right on Mickie’s gut before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and goes for the moonsault, but Mickie just manages to roll out of the way causing Victoria to crash face-first down to the mat. Both Divas slowly get back to their feet, but Mickie catches Victoria with a back kick to the gut followed by a front kick to the face. Mickie connects with the Mick Kick, covers Victoria, and gets the three count. Mickie’s music hits as the referee raises her hand in victory. Mickie climbs out of the ring and heads back up the ramp while getting some impressive love from the crowd.
We start off with a commercial for WWE’s Most Despicable Moments, available only on WWE 24/7 Online at WWE.com.
Match Result: Mickie James defeats Victoria with the Mick Kick.
Match Lenght: 4:48
Best Spot: Victoria’s missed moonsault.
Segment 3: Super Special
(Eugene vs. Lance Lovett)
Eugene’s music hits, and WWE’s newest superhero makes his way down to the ring. Yeah, like the guy with the “special” gimmick needs a new dimension to his character. I can’t wait for Sforcina’s Evolution Schematic of this mess. Eugene flies into the ring where Lex Lovett is already waiting for him and then hits the corner to wave to the crowd. Eugene heads to all sides of the ring to make sure that he gets a chance to wave to ever last one of his fans before asking the referee for some assistance in removing his rather garish cape. Okay, in all seriousness, here’s one for JT and JP over in Hidden Highlights. Eugene’s new costume features a crude, childish “self portrait” right on his crotch. Todd Grisham thinks this is hilarious, but I have to believe this is just another instance of Eugene imitating his wrestling heroes and here paying homage to “Ravishing” Rick Rude and his legendary tights. Anyway, Eugene finally frees himself from his cape and tries to play matador with the referee, but the referee clearly has not time for such frivolity. What a little bitch. Humor the kid, okay you cold hearted bastard? At any rate, both men seem ready for action, so the referee signals for the bell, and this match is officially underway.
On a side note, at this point Grisham and Coachman are in the midst of a monumentally disturbing conversation about young boys’ underwear. It started with Coachman mentioning that Eugene’s new costume resembles Underoos, and it just goes downhill from there. Yes, that’s right, the commentators could be talking about wrestling, but instead their talking about young boys’ underwear. At one point Grisham refers to the fact that his girlfriend wore Underoos last night. I think that makes him a pedophile. It’s this kind of insanity that lead Joey Styles to cut the best promo of 2006. But I digress.
Eugene offers a handshake and hug to the referee and then to Lovett, but Lovett callously refuses the offer. Eugene takes a moment to console his sad, rejected hand… Hey, that sounds like a typical Friday night in Small’s world! See, I know Small checks the beginning of my Report to see what kind of shit I’m going to fling his way each week, but I’m pretty sure he never catches the ones I throw at him deep into the column. Those are just for you, my loyal readers. There truly is no greater joy in life than mocking your peers behind their backs. Sure, maybe that makes me an asshole, but I’m okay with that. Really, I am. Anyway, Eugene and Lovett circle each other to start before locking each other up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Eugene quickly transitions to a standing side head lock on Lovett before bringing him down to the mat with a head lock takeover. Lovett catches Eugene with a head scissors to break the hold, but Eugene kicks out of the head scissors and both men spring back to their feet. Lovett charges towards Eugene, but Eugene catches him in another standing side head lock. Lovett whips Eugene to the ropes to break the hold and then drops down to the mat. Eugene comes off the ropes, leaps over Lovett, and then quickly leaps over Lovett again. Lovett becomes confused, gets back to his feet, and has completely lost track of Eugene. He finally turns around to find Eugene down on all fours waving to him… Hey, that sounds like a typical Friday night in Billy & Chuck’s world! Yeah, you thought the Billy & Chuck jokes were over when that segment ended, didn’t you? Baby, I’m just getting started.
Anyway, Lovett goes for an elbow drop, but Eugene just manages to crawl out of the way. Both men get back to their feet and Lovett charges towards Eugene, but Eugene catches him with a drop toe hold. Eugene then climbs onto Lovett, slaps him on the ass, and rides him around the ring… Hey, that sounds like a typical Friday night in Bil… Shit, I already made that joke, didn’t I? Eugene dismounts and shakes his ass in Lovett’s general direction, but when he turns around Lovett levels him with a running clothesline. Lovett gives Eugene two stomps to the chest followed by a leg drop and two cross-face forearm shots. Lovett locks in a seated rear chin lock, but Eugene fights back to his feet. Eugene begins to muscle out of the hold and transition into an overhead wrist lock, but Lovett slams him back down to the mat.
Lovett uses his boot to choke Eugene against the mat before raising him up into a seated position and applying a modified abdominal stretch. Eugene fights back to his knees and again begins to muscle out of the hold, but Lovett halts him momentum with a clubbing forearm shot to the back. Lovett drags Eugene back to his feet, gives him another clubbing forearm shot to the back, guides him over to the corner, and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. Moron. Lovett slams Eugene’s head into the top turnbuckle for a second time, and we all know where this train is headed. Lovett slams Eugene’s head into the top turnbuckle for a third time, and that’s enough for Eugene to go special. BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL! Lovett takes a swing at Eugene, but of course Eugene blocks it and lands six consecutive punches of his own. Eugene drags Lovett back to his feet and gives him the airplane spin, but that leaves both men dizzy and staggering about the ring. Eugene finally regains his bearings, charges at Lovett, and connects with a flying clothesline. Eugene covers Lovett but only gets a two count before Lovett gets a shoulder up.
Eugene drags Lovett back to his feet, whips him to the ropes, waits for him to rebound, and ducks his head to telegraph the back body drop, so Lovett puts on the brakes and kicks Eugene right in the face. Lovett hits the ropes and charges at Eugene, but Eugene catches him with the Stone Cold Stunner. Eugene covers Lovett and gets the three count. Eugene’s music hits as the referee raises his hand in victory. Eugene climbs out of the ring and heads back up the ramp and Lovett begins to realize that he really did just hit rock bottom.
We finish up with a commercial for the WrestleMania 23 Ultimate Edition DVD, available now.
Match Result: Eugene defeats Lex Lovett with the Stone Cold Stunner.
Match Lenght: 3:54
Best Spot: Eugene’s Stone Cold Stunner
Segment 4: World’s Greatest Finish
(The Highlanders vs. The World’s Greatest Tag Team)
We’re back on Heat, and it’s now time for our MAIN EVENT! The World’s Greatest Music hits, and The World’s Greatest Tag Team make their way down to the ring. Dude, that’s rough. You steal the show at a pay-per-view one night and then you’re back on Heat the very next. That’s just some cold shit right there. Benjamin and Haas climb into the ring and hit the corners to pose for the crowd. Benjamin does an especially fine job of continuing to sell his injuries from the Ladder Match on One Night Stand. That right there is what we like to call “commitment.” Suddenly the bag pipes hit, and The Highlanders make their way down to the ring. Rory and Robbie climb into the ring and hit the corner to, uh, I dunno, drool in the crowd’s general direction. All four men seem ready for action, so the referee signals for the bell, and this match is officially underway.
Benjamin and Robbie head to their respective corners and climb out of the ring, so it looks like it’s going to be Haas and Rory to start the match. Haas and Rory circle each other to start before locking each other up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Haas quickly transitions to a standing arm wringer on Rory. Haas breaks the hold and then drives Rory down to the mat with three clubbing forearm shots to the back. Haas drags Rory back to his feet, guides him over to the corner, and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. Haas gives Rory a forearm shot to the lower back and then slams his head into the top turnbuckle once more. Rory fights back with a kick to Haas’ gut before slamming Haas head into the top turnbuckle two times. Rory guides Haas back to the middle of the ring and cinches in a standing side head lock, but Haas whips Rory to the ropes to break the hold. Haas waits for Rory to rebound and drops down to the mat, but Rory puts on the breaks and connects with an elbow drop to Haas’ back. Haas rolls to his back in pain, but Rory gets back to his feet and connect with an elbow drop to Haas’ chest. Rory calls for Haas to get back to his feet and then drives him into the corner with a shoulder thrust to the gut. Rory slaps Robbie across the face to tag him into the match, waits for him to climb into the ring, and then uses him as a battering ram and sends him shoulder-first into Haas’ gut.
Rory climbs out of the ring as Robbie connects with two European style uppercuts. Robbie slaps Rory across the face to tag him back into the match and waits for him to climb back into the ring. Rory and Robbie whip Haas to the ropes, wait for him to rebound, and connect with a pair of double ax handle shots to the gut followed by a pair of head butts. Rory covers Haas but only gets a two count before Haas kicks out. Robbie climbs out of the ring as Haas gets back to his feet and catches Rory with a knee shot to the gut. Haas finally makes the tag to Benjamin and climbs out of the ring as Benjamin climb into the ring and connects with a running forearm shot to Rory’s back. Benjamin gives Rory a stomp to the back, drags him back to his feet, and levels him with a short arm clothesline. Benjamin drags Rory back to his feet and whips him over the top rope and down to the arena floor. Benjamin then distracts the referee as Haas drops down to the arena floor, drags Rory back to his feet, and rams him back-first into the ring apron. Haas rolls Rory back into the ring and then climbs back up onto the ring apron himself. Back in the ring Benjamin gives Rory three mounted punches and covers him but only gets a one count before Rory kicks out.
Benjamin drags Rory back to his feet, gives him a knee shot to the gut, whips him to the ropes, waits for him to rebound, and goes for a clothesline, but Rory ducks underneath Benjamin’s arm to avoid contact. Rory hits the opposite ropes, charges at Benjamin, and connects with a flying cross body. Rory has Benjamin covered by only gets a one count before Benjamin kicks out. Both men get back to their feet and Benjamin charges at Rory, but Rory catches him with an arm drag takedown. Both men again get back to their feet, but Rory immediately connects with a head butt. Rory guides Benjamin over to the corner and slams his head into Robbie’s head. Rory gives Benjamin a scoop slam and slaps Robbie across the fact to tag him into the match. Rory gives Benjamin a stomp to the chest as he waits for Robbie to climb into the ring. Robbie gives Rory a scoop slam onto Benjamin and then covers Benjamin but only gets a one count before Benjamin kicks out.
Rory climbs out of the ring as Robbie lands a clubbing forearm shot to Benjamin’s back. Robbie drags Benjamin back to his feet, connects with a European style uppercut, and whips him to the corner. “I’m Robbie!” No shit, Sherlock. Robbie charges after Benjamin and hits him with a shoulder block to the gut in the corner. Haas begins to climb into the ring to aid Benjamin, but Robbie catches him with a punch to the face that completely halts his progress. Robbie charges toward Benjamin and goes for another shoulder block in the corner, but Benjamin gets both boots up and plants them right in Robbie’s face. Benjamin distracts the referee as Haas climbs into the ring and levels Robbie with a Big Boot to the face. Haas quickly climbs back out of the ring as Benjamin drags Robbie back to his feet and drops him with a hangman’s neck breaker. Benjamin covers Robbie but only gets a two count before Robbie kicks out.
Benjamin tags Haas into the match and then holds Robbie on the mat in a front Chancery as Haas climbs into the ring and gives Robbie a stomp to the back. Benjamin climbs out of the ring as Haas lands four mounted cross face shots to the side of Robbie’s head. Haas drags Robbie back to his feet and whips him hard to the corner. Robbie bounces out of the corner and crumbles down to the mat, so Haas presses his advantage with a kick to the head. Haas drags Robbie back to his feet, whips him to the ropes, waits for him to rebound, and ducks his head to telegraph the back body drop, so Robbie puts on the brakes and kicks Haas right in the face. Robbie charges at Haas, but Haas catches him with a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex. Haas covers Robbie but only gets a two count before Robbie kicks out.
Haas drags Robbie back to his feet, locks in a standing front chancery, guides him over to the corner, and tags Benjamin into the match. Haas waits for Benjamin to climb into the ring and then whips Robbie back-first into Benjamin’s knee in the corner. Robbie staggers out of the corner and Haas levels him with a running clothesline. Haas climbs out of the ring as Benjamin applies a mounted rear chin lock to Robbie. Benjamin breaks the hold and gives Robbie a stiff cross face shot to the head. Benjamin applies another mounted rear chin lock to Robbie, but Robbie fights back to his feet and breaks the hold with four elbow shots to Benjamin’s gut. Robbie hits the ropes and charges at Benjamin, but Benjamin catches him with a Half Nelson Back Breaker. Benjamin covers Robbie but only gets a two count before Robbie kicks out.
Benjamin drags Robbie back to his feet, guides him over to the corner, and slams his head into the top turnbuckle. Benjamin lifts Robbie up onto the top turnbuckle and gives him two punches to the face. Benjamin climbs up to the second rope, mockingly slaps Robbie across the face, and then climbs all the way up to the top rope to go for a top rope superplex, but Robbie counters with three punches to Benjamin’s gut before shoving Benjamin back down to the mat. Benjamin lands on his feet, leaps all the way back up to the top rope, and gives Robbie two more punches to the head before bringing Robbie up to the top rope with him. Robbie manages to shove Benjamin off the top rope and all the way back down to the mat, but this also causes Robbie to fall off the top rope and crash down to the ring apron. Robbie rolls back into the ring and tags Rory into the match as Benjamin crawls over to the corner and tags Haas into the match.
Benjamin and Robbie gingerly roll out of the ring as Haas and Rory climb into the ring and charge towards each other. Haas goes for a running clothesline, but Rory ducks underneath his arm to avoid contact. Rory hits the ropes and levels Haas with a running elbow shot to the head. That looked really awkward for some reason. Anyway, Rory waits for Haas to get back to his feet and then drops him right back down to the mat with a running double ax handle shot to the chest. Rory again waits for Haas to get back to his feet and then again drops him right back down to the mat with a another running double ax handle shot to the chest. Rory drags Haas back to his feet, whips him to the ropes, waits for him to rebound, and catches him with a big back body drop. Benjamin charges into the ring to aid Haas, but Rory catches him with a flap jack. Dude, that was kinda ugly. Benjamin got his free leg caught underneath him and looked like he might have tweaked his knee in the process. Haas gets back to his feet and takes a swing at Rory, but Rory ducks the punch and holds Haas as Robbie climbs into the ring. Rory and Robbie go for the Scot Drop on Haas, but Benjamin sneaks up behind them and catches Haas on his shoulder. Benjamin safely sets Haas back down on his feet, but Robbie catches Benjamin with a kick to the gut. Haas takes a swing at Rory, but Rory blocks the punch and connects with three punches of his own.

Okay kids, that’s it for this edition of Heat. Hope you had fun. Feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions. I’ll see you back here next weekend.
