Report for 411 by Sean “Beantown” McCluskey

Yeah so… I spilled milk all over my floor when the show started. Didn’t miss much, so we’ll go with what we’ve got here…

Shane and Steph are out. Talk up Austin. Regal is introduced as the newest member of the Alliance. Regal talks up then introduces Austin.

Ahem… okay… lets roll…

Austin is out, and says he’s a bit emotional tonight. Austin says that Angle probably wants a rematch, but Austin says it’s over. Um… here’s Linda McMahon. I was hoping for Vince or Mick or someone… but she usually delivers good news… in a monotone sorta way. She says that it’s far from over, and tonight is a whole new beginning. Linda fires Regal as WWF Commish. Ohhhh we get a new Commish. Crowd is chanting for Foley. Angle jumps the Alliance from behind. Um… is he the new Commish or something? I’m lost… Angle cleans house…

Commercials… wow… a Battlebots game… I think I’m gonna be sick…

MOMENTS AGO!!!!!!!!!!

Steph, Shane, and Regal bitch, and wonder who the new WWF Commish is… all right… not Angle. Didn’t think so…

Recap of the brewing Y2J/Rock feud. I don’t know why… but I enjoyed their confrontation backstage… it was kinda old school.

Now we see earlier today Rock and Y2J talking things over, supposedly working things out…

Shane and Steph come into Austin’s locker room. The siblings want to reward RVD for his efforts last Thursday. Jericho Vs RVD tonight, the winner fights The Rock for the WCW Title at No Mercy! That’s pretty kickass…

X-Pac goes to the top, but Kidman catches him, turns forward, and launches X-Pac face first into a powerbomb like maneuver and Kidman picks up the win. That was really an awesome move, couldn’t even really explain it.

The Hurricane w/Mightily Hot Molly Vs ???
Heh… ring announcer forgot what title Hurricane had… He said “He is the WWF……………………. EUROPEAN Champion…”
He issues an open challenge for his title… and it’s… KANE!! Holy goodness!
Hurricane wonders why Kane, with his cool costume, and mask, why he isn’t a superhero like Hurricane. Hurricane offers his… super powers. Kane crushes his hand… and it’s on.
Hurricane is taking shots at Kane leaving no effect. Hurricane goes to the top, but Kane catches him. Hurricane tries to lift Kane, Kane gorilla press slams Hurricane. Now Kane lands a powerslam. Now Hurricane tries for a powerbomb, but Kane picks him up and powerbombs him instead… take my word for it, as not-possible as that doesn’t sound there. Uhm… here comes Booker and Test… they jump Kane, and Takers comes out and makes the save.
Winner: Nobody… Wassupwitdat???

Sucks to see a match end like that… Sucks like a fox.

I’ll tell ya… Maven looks really good for just starting.

We see The Rock’s back…

Commercials…

Rock speaks… Y2J steps in, and talks about how huge this match is going to be. They shake hands, and Jericho walks off and bumps into Rock. The Rock says that he has no idea how huge it will be… and he walks off. Interesting… Seano likey…

Angle races into the ring and lands a quick belly to belly! Then another! Angle tosses Regal to the outside. WOOOOOOOOOOO chops by Angle!

We’re back inside now, and Angle tries for a quick rollup and gets a two count. Angle lands a series of german suplexes, the second one, Regal’s head clipped the bottom rope. Angle Slam! Here comes the Alliance! Raven goes down! Then Awesome… the Kanyon… then Credible! We see Regal at the top of the ramp looking pissed, and Angle’s music hits as we fade…

Alright… I think this is a good night to introduce a new feature to my reports. It’s time to unveil…

The Bean Pole

Quick Description: From this show on… I will end my report with The Bean Pole. Which will be my overall view and rating on the night’s show. So here goes the first edition…

The Bean Pole
This was one of the better shows I’ve seen since WCW was first coming into the fold. Foley returned, plenty of good wrestling, Kidman returns and gets some gold, and plenty more. Just a very solid two hours there. A couple matches ended abruptly which is never a good thing… but it’s a small price to pay for all we saw tonight. Everything has been set up very well for No Mercy and the card looks very solid all of the sudden. Excellent show tonight…
9.5 out of 10
