NO MERCY is over and by God, I had fun, believe it or not!
I - The Dudleys Table Invitational
The title cracked me up… as though the WWF is trying to make table matches classy or something.
1. First in Too Cool, who were later eliminated by Raven and Tazz, they made a good showing, specially with that under the table WORM.
2. Lo Down was up against Too Cool. Their elimination incredibly predictable although these two guys are getting better with every showing.
3. Tazz and Raven. With their ECW experience, they had to eliminate Too Cool. Anything less would have horrible. Their victory over Too Cool was just and deserved.
4. The Dudleyz’s entrance into the Invitational made thing interesting. Brought in four former ECW wrestlers together in the ring and that was great, yet it could have been better, more intense.
5. RTC (Good Father and Bull Buchanan). Against the Dudleyz, their performance lacked heat and intensity. The ref’s first call was dumbly predictable and his second was as well… how could D’von and Buh-Buh lose their own invitational?
II - Lita and APA vs Trish and Test and Albert
I feel bad for Lita coming to the APA’s help and getting ambushed like that… rookie mistake. Loved the aerial kick by Jeff on Albert, very reminiscient of Xena and Hercules. Did everyone see Test laughing as he walked away, all the while, holding his crotch. Match was a waste of time.
III - Y2J vs X-Pac
No heat generated at all by Y2J’s speech… which means the WWF needs new writers… only good point is that this match should end this feud… please say it’s so… I’m so tired of it, Jericho’s starting to annoy me. Loved Jericho’s opening move… got a thing for the baseball slide. X-Pac’s calling for a time-out? What does he think this is, soccer or
something? The ending cracked me up… wonder if X-Pac’s balls are cracked too…
IV - RTC vs Badd Ass Billy Gunn
Chyna’s rectally obsessed friend? Now, that made me laugh! And God, how I missed those shorts, that body and THAT ASS!!!! Chyna made a great use of Stevie’s tie, and of her breasts… too bad they lost… because I for one, loved the return of Chyna, Warrior Woman!
Final note: EDDIE GUERRERO MUST DIE…
V - Rikishi vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
To those interested, if you want a Rikishi mummuu, my mom makes some… I have one… very comfortable.. The WWF is building him up as a great heel… I love to see Austin fight when he’s angry… he’s like a man possessed… The arrival of the police? I have to wonder… who dialed 9-1-1?
VI - Steven Regal vs Mideon
How white and pasty is Steven Regal… made me shiver.. and why the hell was Mideon wearing clothes… Loved it… only because I seemed to be the only person in the restaurant to know that he was going to end up bare-assed…
VII - The Hardy Boyz vs Los Conquistadores
Yes, I’m sad the boys lost their titles and I can’t wait to see RAW tomorrow night but the match was great and Edge and Christian are too funny.
VIII - HHH vs Benoît
Hunter needs more baby oil… those muscles weren’t shining enough to my taste. But Hunter was at his best, completely isolating a body part and working on his opponent’s weakness… but he got cocky and gave Benoît an opportunity to do the exact same thing to him.
IX - The Rock vs Kurt Angle
Honestly, a good match but Steph proved once more that she is absolutely useless in the ring. And that intervention by Rikishi completes his heel turn… now he’ll have to contend with an angry Rock and an angry Austin… if I were him, I’d run…
All and all a good PPV and fairly close to my house… had I known, I would have driven down to see it, Albany’s only a few hours from Montreal.
That was my Canadian Loonie…
