[Sunday Night Heat]: No-Time-Limit-Match:
Too Cool defeated Al Snow (Brooke Bond) and Test (Random Task) when Grandmaster
Sexay defeated Test by countout in 0:07:52.
Rating: *
**Too Cool pick up the win against the Secret Agent Club due to outside interference from
StratusPhere. Test went flying to the outside after a double clothesline from Too Cool,
which brought Al Snow into the ring as well. But as referee, Tim White, attempted to
seperate Too Cool and Al Snow, Venis and Saturn ran down and attacked Test. Test got
drilled with a DVD onto the steel rampway and then StratusPhere left. By the time Al Snow
got away from Too Cool, it was to late as Tim White counted out his partner.**

[Sunday Night Heat]: No-Time-Limit-Four Corners Match:
Crowbar defeated Essa Rios, Triple Syxx and Taka Michinoku:
x Rios beat Michinoku via a small package in 0:01:47
x Rios beat Syxx via the Riosault in 0:09:00
x Crowbar beat Rios via the Inverted DDT in 0:10:40
Rating: ** 3/4
(Crowbar retained the WWF Lightweight Title.)
**The Heat main event started with a shock as Essa Rios rolled up his Fanatic partner with a
small package to eliminate him early. From there the two Brood members took control of the
bout until Chyna ran down and pulled Crowbar to the outside. This caused Syxx to take his
eye off Essa who took the opportunity to climb to the top rope for a Riosault onto Triple
Syxx that eliminated him. But before Syxx left he re-entered the ring and clocked Essa Rios
with the X-Factor and then fought Chyna back to the locker room. Crowbar then dived in the
ring and made the cover, but surprisingly Rios kicked out. Crowbar then picked up Essa and
hit the Inverted DDT to get the pin.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
Eddie Guerrero pinned Goldust (GoldenGuy) with the Frog Splash in 0:07:23.
Rating: * 3/4
(Eddie Guerrero retained the WWF European Title.)
**Golden Guy showed again that he can't get Gangrel out of his head. Gangrel came to ringside
after only a few minutes of this contest and it effected GG considerably. Eddie Guerrero
easily capitalised on GGuy's mistakes and soon put him away with the Frog Splash.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Secret Agent Club's D'Lo Brown (Dr. Lo) & Rikishi Phatu (Jaws) defeated Too Cool
when D'Lo pinned Scotty with the Feeling Lo-Down in 0:15:23.
Rating: 1/2*
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Davey Boy Smith pinned Gangrel with the Running Powerslam in 0:09:12.
Rating: *
**Gangrel got a taste of his own medicine in this contest as Golden Guy (Goldust) cost him the
match. Gangrel had the Bulldog down after some great offence, but he turned towards Golden
to show off. This gave the Bulldog time to recover and Gangrel turned to face him but got
hoisted up onto the wide shoulder and then got hit by the Running Powerslam.
After the match, Golden Guy attacked Gangrel which resulted in him setting Gangrel up for the
Shattered Dreams, only for Bam Bam, Triple Syxx and Crowbar to come out and force him to
escape via the crowd.**

Table No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
The Dudley Boys defeated StratusPhere when Buh Buh defeated Saturn by
putting him through a table in 0:16:49.
Rating: * 1/4
**StratusPhere picked up their first tag team loss here as the Dudley Boys took them to
another level of WWF tag team competition. Despite their loss, StratusPhere fought well
and looked like the could win after a double suplex sent D-Von through a table. But when
they managed to get Buh Buh Ray onto a table, they lost control as Test & Snow of the S.A.C
came running out. Venis had climbed the top rope and was going for the Money Shot onto
Buh Buh but Test shoved him off into the ring. AL Snow then set up Venis for the Snowplow,
which he delivered but through a table!
However while this was going on Saturn was climbing up the top for his Elbowdrop onto Buh
Buh who was still laying on the table. However as he lept, Test yanked Buh Buh off the
table which sent Saturn crashing through the wood.
The Secret Agent Club then had some harsh words to say to Trish Stratus before leaving her
and StratusPhere in a pile of broken tables.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Ken Shamrock pinned Kurt Angle after a Frankensteiner in 0:10:54.
Rating: ****
**Kurt Angle just barely lost this match after a good match full of technical moves that
delighted the capacity crowd. Angle and Shamrock fought tooth and nail in this but in
the end, Shamrock was able to reverse a powerbomb attempt from Angle into his Frankensteiner
to pick up the win.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
The Acolytes defeated Chris Benoit and Hunter Hearst Helmsley when Bradshaw
pinned Benoit after a power bomb in 0:01:09.
Rating: * 1/4
**As expected the Benoit/Helmsley combination exploded on each other, but no one expected it to
happen before the Acolytes had even come out. Benoit and Hunter went to work on each other
before they came out which resulted in HHH getting the upper hand after he hit the Pedigree
on Benoit onto a chair that the Crippler had brought in. As the Acolytes music hit for them
to come out, Triple H hit a second Pedigree on his 'partner' and left the ring. As he got to
the APA he told them to finish the job, which they did. Faarooq and Bradshaw entered the
ring and hit a Double Powerbomb onto Chris Benoit to get the quick victory.**
[24/7 HaRdCoRe challenge]: No-Countout-No-DQ-6-Man Battle Royal:
Faarooq escaped a 6-man HaRdCoRe Battle Royal:
x Faarooq escaped with the HaRdCoRe title in 0:14:59
Rating: *** 1/4
(Faarooq retained the HaRdCoRe title.)
**As the Acolytes were celebrating in the ring, they were both attacked from behind by D-Lo and
Rikishi Phatu of the Secret Agent Club, who appeared to be after Faarooq's title. The shock
of the attack gave them the chance they needed as Bradshaw was sent to the outside. D-Lo hit
the Feeling Lo-Down on Faarooq and almost got the pin, when Bam Bam Bigelow came down and
broke the cover. The match then continued as Faarooq and Bradshaw attempted to keep the
other three away from the belt. Then down came Crash Holly who rolled up Faarooq from behind,
but luckily for the Acolyte, his partner Bradshaw kicked him off. The Acolytes then both went
outside to re-group as the other four men beat each other down in an attempt to make a clean
cover. BUT this meant they weren't concerntraiting of Faarooq who just signaled to Bradshaw
to leave. The Acolytes left with Faarooq's HaRdCoRe title as Crash, D-Lo, Rikishi & Bigelow
continued to attack each other.**

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Number One Contender-Towel Match:
Tazz (w/Steve Austin) defeated Rocky Maivia (w/Kurt Angle) with the Tazmission
in 0:12:52.
Rating: ** 1/2
**The Rock has been screwed out of his title shot! The Rock appeared to have the match won
despite the odds but as he was going for the People's Elbow, Kurt Angle threw the Rock's
towel into the ring. The Rock stopped in his tracks and went right for Kurt, but Austin cut
him off with a Stunner. The Rock fell backwards from the Stunner into the waiting arms of
Tazz who slapped on the Tazmission instantly. Tazz had already won the match because of the
Rock's towel being thrown in but he didn't seem to care. So Tazz was the NEW number one
contender for Chris Jericho's Heavyweight title....or was he? Ted DiBiase entered the ring
with a microphone to explain his actions.**

No-Time-Limit-No-DQ-Match:
Blood Brothers and "The Million Dollar Man's Man" Steve Austin defeated
The Hardy Boyz and Chris Jericho when Christian pinned M. Hardy after the
Bulldog from Edge's shoulders in 0:18:50.
Rating: *** 3/4
**A preview of two title matches taking place at UnForgiven here. Both teams fought well but
yet again, Ted DiBiase had a master plan. Jericho was taken out of the match early on when
Tazz attacked him from behind and applied the Tazmission. Chris Jericho had to be stretchered
away due to this attack which left it three on two. Of course the Hardy Boyz are good but
even they couldn't fight those odds when Steve Austin hit a Stunner on both of them as they
fought with the Blood Brothers. The ending came after Matt and Jeff both went for Victory
Rolls on Edge and Austin respectively. Although Jeff Hardy rolled up Austin, Matt wasn't so
lucky as Christian's fast response by hitting a top rope bulldog led to the pin.**
Match observations:
NEWS DESK by Russell Mania
Mick Foley is said to be furious with the actions of Kurt Angle in the towel match and has
given him a match against the Rock at UnForgiven. Will the great one get revenge?
Following the six man brawl for the HaRdCoRe title earlier in the night, commissioner Foley has
decided to put the title up for grabs in another Battle Royal at UnForgiven between the same
men. The title can change hands as many times as needed during the 30 minute time limit.
The Intercontinental situation is unusual however as Kane has not been seen since last week's
Smackdown. If Kane does not re-appear by the time the Pay Per View comes around, Mick Foley
has said that the title will be vacated.
Finally Mick Foley has decided to give the Foreign Fanatics what they wanted and at UnForgiven
the lightweight title match will feature Crowbar and all three members of the Fanatics.
