Summerslam 2001
We get LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR for our song.
If I can be serious for a minute...
Lance Storm vs. Edge
Edge is hitting all the offense in the first couple minutes and this is still all apparently about WWF vs. Alliance.
Lance with a shot and he's talking trash and slapping away. All these heel taunting moves from Storm. Edge tries a small cradle, doesn't work.
God damn a big "look here" sign popped up in the crowd and I looked.
A nice series of arm drag counters, Edge with the catch and powerslam knocks them both down. Edge tries a reverse neckbreaker into a cover, Storm with a nice kickout. Rollup into half boston crab! Edge reverses it! Ref bump.
Christian's here! He misses Storm, spears Edge, ref is back and Edge kicks out. Superkick is caught and DDT puts away Storm.
They keep teasing this Christian/Edge tension but then they're best friends.
Nice jeans Michael Cole. Test turned on the WWF and he sucks at interviews.
Jericho says you always remember your first time and really destroys Stephanie, oh god and a breast implant joke.
Spike & APA vs. Test & Dudley Boyz
Bradshaw nailed D-Von with a forearm, that was super loud, he's so stiff. And Spike gets tossed in a crazy hangman, the top two ropes were both pushed down under his weight, which isn't much.
Dudleys pulling out a table already, it's set up at ringside. Bradshaw hot tagged in with some clotheslines and a big boot. Test misses his boot and gets powerslammed. Spike thrown through a table! Clothesline on Test and the ref isn't looking, Shane runs in with a chair! Test gets a pin and wins.
Edge got the IC belt, Christian wants the European title.
Stasiak doesn't know why his trunks say Mecca. Neither do I.
Winner of the next match gets both titles. Oh god nooo please lose X-Pac.
Tajiri vs. X-Pac
Tajiri with a series of nicely executed moves, hurricanrana, baseball slide, springboard moonsault. Crowd's chanting E-C-DUB. X-Pac puts on a surfboard and he can't stop from rolling over.
No bronco buster here, X-Pac is hung upside down and slide kick to his face. Flip into elbow and a tarantula!
X Factor and Tajiri's no-selling it. Out comes Albert to watch. Mist is spit in Albert's face, but X-Pac hits a low blow and an X factor and X-Pac has two belts. Augh augh augh.
Perry Saturn is in New York. He's in love with a mop instead of Terri now. Oh wow he is getting buried with this angle.
Jericho is tearing into Stephanie and her recent enhancements. Rhyno likes to gore.
Rhyno vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho with a bunch of chops early. WOOOO WOOOO WOOOO. Stephanie's trying to interfere with Jericho on the ropes, and he falls into a gore from Rhyno outside the ring.
Rhyno going with all these rest holds. More chops from both guys, surprise lionsault. Stephanie's distracting the ref and Jericho plants a smooch on her.
Another lionsault and Rhyno kicks out. Rhyno gets on the walls of Jericho. Gore misses, Jericho puts on his finisher now. Rhyno taps out.
Rock and Regal cutting a promo. Stasiak runs full force into a wall in one of the best comedy spots of the year.
