Judgment Day 2001
Here's some crazy old man ranting on the same set where Akeem was born.
William Regal vs. Rikishi
Oh man Rikishi has the Too Cool theme again, none of that Phat Man heel theme.
Almost a stinkface at the start and the crowd chants "Regal sucks". Sunset flip failure, but Regal is smart and moves.
Rikishi with a legdrop and charge and now a stinkface. Regal can sell that better than anyone. Greatest face.
Superkick, Regal's face is bleeding. Rikishi runs into the post and his shoulder is hurt, neckbreaker and Regal wins.
Edge and Christian want to win the belts to get into the hall of fame. Vince is concerned with the sanctity of marriage and HHH calls him out.
Angle and Benoit again! First fall is pinfall only, second is submission only, and third is a ladder match.
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
Angle's doing Benoit's three suplex spot, Now he tries the headbutt and misses. Benoit with an Olympic slam and he's got a pin?!
Submissions only: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
Angle's throwing Benoit on both tables. "The spanish guys are over there!" shouts Heyman.
Both guys going for ankle locks, Benoit wants the crossface but Angle is right by the ropes. Here's some belly to belly suplexes from Angle and he escapes another crossface.
Boston crab by Benoit, almost lifted into walls of Jericho. Now a figure four! Angle escapes hold after hold with the ropes. I hear some fan being picked up on the mic making a pouting noise to taunt Angle.
Olympic slam, guess it is called the Angle slam now. Ankle lock on after and Benoit taps.
Ladder match: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
The ref takes forever to hang the medals and Angle just stands next to him watching. He sure does want those medals.
Angle grabs a ladder from under the ring, it's a little tiny ladder. Ladder's pushed over and now Angle is tossed into some very happy fans.
A charge and toss of the ladder, Benoit ducks and the ladder flies into the aisleway. Benoit gets the ladder and gets some hits on Angle now. Low blow on Benoit knocks him off the ladder.
slingshot into the ladder! And now Angle is whipped at it again, he leaps onto the ladder and he kind of climbs but he's pulled down. Benoit run into the ladder now, and a suplex onto it, ouch. And Benoit pulls down the end to pop Angle in the face with the ladder. Good stuff.
Benoit's putting the ladder on Angle. "Other way, other way." Oh, he sets it up different so he can climb it. Angle pushes the ladder off his chest.
Crippler crossface is on! Angle's tapping, but this doesn't count. Edge and Christian run out to fight Benoit. Angle's able to climb up during the distraction, he gets the medals.
Undertaker wants the main event no holds barred.
Here's Light Heavyweight champ Jerry Lynn in WWF New York. Hey Jerry, how's it feel to be left off another PPV?
Kane wants to be intercontinental champ now. This belt sure has rocketed in standing.
