Backlash 2001
Backlash is still going with that swinging hook theme.
Spike's a real part of the Dudley Boyz now. Albert's joined Justin Credible in the X-Pac alliance.
Dudley Boyz vs. X-Factor
Spike leaps from the top to step on Albert, this guy looks so tiny. He tries a bulldog and just gets tossed aside.
This crowd really hates X-Pac. He and Justin are keeping D-Von on the ground. Albert with a double underhook suplex that he holds up in the air for a while.
Bubba finally hot tagged, Albert accidentally kills his teammate. D-VON GET THE TABLES. Albert has a good big boot to stop tables, Bubba takes double superkicks and X Factor wins.
Dudleys give X-Pac a 3D through a table after the match.
Some "royalty" is here to watch tonight. Angle gives a speech about merit.
Hey Raven's getting more of a pop than his last PPV.
Rhyno vs. Raven
Drop toe hold onto a stop sign at the start, excellent. Rhyno kicks a trash can into Raven and they're outside now. Raven's in a chair, Rhyno charges off the stairs and Raven moves! Rhyno flops through the chair.
Raven's getting smacked in the head with a bunch of stuff here. Rhyno tosses the shopping cart in the ring, those things aren't light. Drop toe hold onto the cart. Rhyno gets hit with some signs and bulldogged, only a two count.
Trash can into Rhyno's face and he drops the cart on himself! Rhyno charges and Raven ducks, Rhyno puts himself through the cart! What creative use of the cart. Rhyno hits a spear and he wins.
Shane reads a story, his version of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Haha, I wanna know who on earth this is dressed as the Duchess of Queensberry. The rules for the upcoming match are unknown.
Duchess of Queensberry rules: William Regal vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho gets thrown out but catches himself on the apron so he can dropkick Regal. Now a missile dropkick misses. Regal gets in some kicks and takes the time to wave at fans, what a nice guy.
There's been a bunch of chops this match, lots of WOOOOOs. They make Regal's pale skin so red. Lionsault and the bell rings. Round 1's time is over.
The Regal stretch is put on. Jericho grabs the rope. Now he turns a suplex into a rollup but he abandons the cover to try the walls of Jericho. Regal taps out! But you can't win by submission.
Jericho goes to confront the Duchess, Regal gets her scepter and hits Jericho. No DQs in this too.
Double underhook suplex doesn't get Jericho pinned and he hits an enzuigiri. Low blow and Regal falls on the Duchess, whoops. Jericho pulls the duchess in and walls of Jericho! But Regal's got a chair, he uses it and gets the pin. The duchess is losing her wig.
