Shane brags that before Vince took power from Sandman, he signed a match between Benoit
& Mystery Man for SummerSlam.
Benoit's group come out.
Match made for tonight between Doom & Billington/Lyger.
T'n'T w/t Trish/Terri Vs. LATINO HEAT w/t The Kat
Opening match saw Latino Heat teaming up again after a few weeks of Essa Rios going for the
European title.
Latino Heat didn't miss a beat though as they went at it against Venis and Edge. But the
appearance of the Perfect Ten (Gunn & Chyna) at ringside caused the distraction for both of
the teams.
Chyna distracted the official and Billy Gunn pulled Essa Rios to the outside. Gunn hit the
Fame-Ass-Er on Essa but soon found himself on the floor as well after Eddie came off the top
rope with a cross body block. Essa was soon counted out though but Guerrero & Gunn continued
the fight all the way to the back.
T'n'T defeated Latino Heat when Edge defeated Rios by countout in 0:12:47.
Rating: 1/2*
Tazz and Al Snow were up next and once again, Tazz put on an awesome display of dominance as
he threw the injured Al Snow all over the ring.
Al Snow still fought hard though despite having only been cleared to wrestle an hour before
the show. Snow was able to hit the Snow Plow on Tazz but couldn't make the cover in time.
Al Snow was eventually put away after Tazz ducked a clothesline and hit a Tiger Suplex.
Tazz pinned Al Snow after a tiger suplex in 0:12:49.
Rating: ** 1/2
Sandman helps Tazz attack Al Snow. Cactus comes out to save.
Bobby Heenan comes out and tells Mike Awesome and NEW SIGNING Justin Credible to attack.
