Match #5 Intercontinental Championship
Shelton vs. RVD
Match started with Shelton asking the announcer to ask the crowd to be quiet so
the great champion may speak. Shelton was getting heat no doubt. Not sure if
turning him heel is best thing to do, but ehh it worked tonight. RVD comes out and
does his little jump spin about 50 times holding the money in the bank briefcase.
Crowd was way over for RVD. Good match about 15 minutes. Couple big bumps from top
rope, 4 pining situations and reversals give us our winner via "hold the ropes"
cheatin..
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Match #6 Dive Battle Royal
Thank god these girls are hot as hell, well the majority. Maria, Torrie, Candice,
Victoria, Mickey, and Trishalicious. Lasted about 5 minutes. Trish convinced Maria
it was a tag rope and had her go stand outside of the ring on the apron. Being a
diva battle royal the dive could be thrown out over any rope. So Maria takes a
bump from Mickey falls out and shes gone. Next up Torrie forgot how, but out she
goes. Candice talkin smack to Torrie outside the ring, Mickey pops her out. Mickey
now takes a seat in the ring corner and watches Trish and Victoria locked together
slowly pulling each other over the top rope. Victoria falls, out ya go. Trish
holds the ropes and stands up just in time for Mickey to give her a nice little
shove on the butt off the ring.
Winner: Mickey James
Before this match referees Mike Chioda and Jack Doan made there way down to
ringside. The girls stood in the ring a good minute or 2 while they tried to get
the match started saying repeatedly ring the bell ring the bell, finally the guy
doing the bell looked at Mike Chioda and said :" Give me that damn wrench!" Chioda
took it out his pocket at tossed it to him.
After the match, The belt got tossed in the ring where only Trishalicious was. She
picked it up and held it over her head while Mickey screamin give me that, that's
mine. Trish smiled and winked at her and gave her the belt. Mickey made her way
over to the exit ramp and Trish mounted the ropes and blew her a kiss goodbye! A
confused Mickey took off toward the back while Trish soaked up some love from the
Rockford crowd Which by the way was pretty Hot the whole night.
The Cutting Edge
Edge w/the one girl ho train, special guest Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
This was the normal deal with Duggan callin Lita a hoe and Edge a punk ending up
with him throwin blows for a minute the edge getting the upper hand. Edge grabs
Duggans 2x4 and hits him with it twice, Gives the crowd the finger and off the go.
Lotta USA chants and Ho's

Match wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. Kane is lookin good, Big show looked
like he has had a looong week. Spirit squad did there bounce entrance crap and one
of the dudes bit it, nailed the rope spun face first into the mat. Priceless. They
had air horns which the sounded every 10 seconds. Kane takes a beaten and fights
back to tag Big show, he clears house only to receive a bullhorn thingy shot to
his back. Doesn't faze him but ref calls for the bell. they all rush the ring and
catch closelines from the big man. Kane still napping outside. Eventually spirit
squad gets the upper hand on Big Show and beat him down. He jumps up though
throwing the entire spirit squad flying. Kanes up and back in the ring now for the
chokeslam marathon. The crowd counts them out, 1 2 3 4 5 spirit squad lays in the
ring knocked out. Big show and Kane looked around obviously upset and take off.
the spirit squad layed in the ring for another few minutes then left.
Winners: Big Show and Kane via DQ

pops for their entrance. After being in Chicago and then here in the same week. It
was night and day honestly. Crowd was over huge for Cena. Although there were
quite a few pullin for Triple H. I'd say 80/20 for Cena. They get right to it.
Best match of the night. Throwin blows and it spills outside of the ring. Triple H
tosses Cena into the barricade, bounces his head off the steps and to top it off
picks him up and drops him on the barricade. Triple H goes for the whip into the
ring stairs but Cena reverses and Triple H bites it. Back into the ring and Cena
gets some offense in til Triple H hits a spine buster. He jumps outside the ring
to retrieve an extension cord under the ring. he proceeds to wrap it around Cenas
neck and gets him choked out ref checks his arms 1 2 nope Cena picks up H and
drops him on his back. Cena gets in the 5 knuckle shuffle and lifts Triple H up
and onto his
shoulders for an FU, Triple H wiggles out but falls and Cena locks in the STFU.
They are close the the ropes ind Triple H is tryin to grab it but his arm falls
limp, Ref Counts it and hes up on 3 and grabs the rope. Cena breaks the hold. Cena
