**NO CHANCE IN HELL hits as Shane McMahon comes out followed by Chris Benoit and the Sandman.**
SHAN - Yes, the Corporation is back in charge and we've not finished growing because I used
Ted DiBiase's "donation" to purchase another two new members.
So to prove the dominance of my new team, I've signed a match for NO WAY OUT. It'll be
a tag team Battle Royal.
Now along with my mystery team, I've added StratusPhere, The Fallen, Edge & Bull of the
MDGroup and the Hardy Boys.
My team will prove how powerful this new Corporation is by destroying these four top
teams.
There's nothing anybody can do to prevent it, in fact I'm putting out an open challenge
to any other teams out there who think that they can try the Corporation out.
So anybody back there, make yourselves known before NO WAY OUT and I'll add you to the
match.
Now speaking of NO WAY OUT, it appears as though Benoit has to put his Intercontinental
Championship up against Jericho AND Shamrock at the request of Mick Foley.
I can't do anything about that match now but as you saw on RAW, Foley suffered an
unfortunatly "accident" and is no longer capable of being WWF Commissioner.
So if Benoit doesn't retain the belt then I'll sign rematch after rematch until he gets
it back, how'd you like that Foley!
Finally tonight I've decided that the WWF Champion Rock and Shamrock should be in tag
team action and take on the NO WAY OUT #1, Tazz and the WRESTLEMANIA #1, Steve Austin.
But this is no ordinary tag match because if the Rock is pinned he loses the WWF~
Championship and at NO WAY OUT will be Tazz Vs. Austin.
And if Shamrock is pinned then he loses his title shot against Benoit. I'd wish them
good luck but it won't matter, they've got NO CHANCE!!
**No Chance in Hell plays again as Shane McMahon and the Corporation leave.**

WWF EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
BILLY 'One' GUNN (C.) Vs. SCOTT 'Last Call' HALL
Scott Hall had another attempt at the European title tonight but once again, Billy Gunn won
the match with outside help.
Hall and Gunn had fought for close to fiveteen minues when Trish jumped up onto the apron and
drew the referee towards her. This gave Gunn a chance to grab his European title and use it as
a weapon. Gunn nailed Hall across the face with it and then delivered his new finisher, the
One and Only (Cobra Clutch Slam) for another title defence.
Billy Gunn pinned Scott Hall with the One and Only in 0:14:25.
Rating: * 3/4
(Billy Gunn retained the WWF European Title.)
**Scott Hall rolls to the outside as Billy Gunn walks up the ramp followed by manager/fiancee,
Trish Stratus. As Gunn and Trish reach the top of the ramp, they are stopped by Scott Hall
as he has grabbed a microphone.**
HALL - WAIT! This is bullsh!t. I had that match won and you know it.
GUNN - Yeah well what you gonna do about it. Go back and bitch about it with your Cliq friends?
HALL - No, I'm going to get a re-match at NO WAY OUT.
GUNN - What makes you think I'll give it to you?
HALL - Pride, because I want you in a Ladder Match. Let's see your damn ego turn down the chance
to prove himself in a match like that.
GUNN - You're right in a way. It would be good to take you on in a Ladder match, but you see
I'm getting sick and tried of facing you.
So this is it Hall. Your last chance at winning my European championship.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a celebration with my Trish.

**Kurt Angle is backstage in the locker room when there is a knock at the door, he stops his
squat training and grabs a towel and mops his face.**
KURT - Enter.
**Al Snow comes in carrying Head under his right arm.**
SNOW - Kurt, I've got a favour to ask you.
KURT - Shoot from the hip, Snow. I'm listening.
SNOW - Well as you know, the Sandman and Chris Benoit attacked Mick Foley on RAW and now our
Commissioner is in hospital recovering.
KURT - Yeah I know, those two have no Integrety.
SNOW - Errr...yeah, well anyway I was wondering....what?
**Snow holds Head up to his ear and tuts.**
SNOW - ..Ok....We were wondering if you'd team with us tonight to take on the Sandman and
Chris Benoit. I mean he was a great friend of min....what?! ...DAMNIT!....A friend of
OURS. So will you team with us?
KURT - Sure. What they did was disgraceful and although I don't see eye-to-eye with Mick Foley
all the time, no one deserves that.
SNOW - Great, so you'll team with me.
KURT - You got it.
SNOW - Great, I'm off to challenge Shane McMahon. Wait here Kurt, you too.
**Al Snow puts Head done on a table in front of Kurt Angle and runs out of the room. Kurt looks
at the Head for a while then in the direction of Al Snow's exit, he then shakes his head and
chuckles.**
KURT - Jeez, that guy's crazy. Talking to a dummy Head, you'll never catch me talking to an
in-animate object.....errrr...just to myself. Come on Kurt pull it together.
**Kurt shakes it off and re-starts his squats stopping after five to turn the Head so it faces
away from him.**
Following the last few shows when the Fallen have defeated StratusPhere, this match was asked
for by Saturn as he wanted to prove that Daniel's is nothing without Christian.
Well, Saturn was wrong as Daniels was more then a match for Perry Saturn. Saturn became
increasingly frustrated as Daniels blocked move after move.
Daniels eventually put Saturn away with a vertical facebuster when he reversed the Death Valley
Driver from Perry.
Christopher Daniels pinned Saturn after a vertical facebuster in 0:05:55.

**Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......BOOOM, The Dudleyz theme hits as D-Von and Buh Buh Ray come
out to a hostile reception. D-Von grabs a microphone.**
DVON - Now as you know, we are scheduled to face Latino Heat at NO WAY OUT for the tag team
championships. But it seems curious to us that we haven't got a match signed for this
evening so open challenge time.
BBRD - That's right, any teams out there who want to take us on in a Table match come on out
here now. Someone must have the balls to take us on.
**Crash's music hits as the Houdini of HaRdCoRe comes out and stands at the top of the ramp
with a microphone.**
CRSH - Dudley Boys, I accept your challenge. I'll take you both on in a table match.
DVON - Just you. It's not worth the effort.
BBRD - Yeah, come on Ellroy get outta here.
CRSH - That's it, ring the bell.
**Crash throws down his baseball cap and stomps down toward the ring. But he is stopped halfway
down as Molly Holly comes running out and stands in front of him. She grabs the microphone
from him.**
MOLL - Don't do this cousin Crash, don't take on the Dudleys by yourself.
DVON - Listen to your relative, Crash. Get outta here.
MOLL - Wait! You're obviously not listening D-Von. I told cousin Crash not to take you two on
by himself. I didn't tell him not to face you.
BBRD - You understand that D-Von?
DVON - I understand that she's about to feel WOOD!
**The Dudley Boys step out of the ring and begin backing Crash & Molly up the ramp. UNTIL
Hardcore Holly walks out behind Crash & Molly. Hardcore is armed with a steel chair.
The Dudleys stop and walk back themselves as Crash, not aware of Hardcore, looks confused
and then smiles.**
CRSH - You see Molly, I told you that they would be afraid of a superheavyweight like myself.
MOLL - Errr...Crash.
CRSH - What is it?
MOLL - It's cousin Bob.
**Crash turns around to see Bob 'Hardcore' Holly. They both stare each other down for a few
seconds.**
MOLL - Come on guys, we're all family. We shouldn't beat each other up....we should beat the
Dudley family!
**The crowd errupts as the Dudleys begin to look nervous in the ring. Crash & Hardcore look at
the Dudleys then back at each other. Then without a word, they nod at each other and run
towards the ring to start the match.**
DUDLEY'S TABLE INVITATIONAL
THE DUDLEY BOYS w/t Sabu Vs. THE HOLLYS w/t Molly
The re-grouping of the Hollys was just what the Dudleys didn't want. Since their break up,
both Holly cousins have become more hardcore and a lot more experianced.
Although the Dudleys won the match via a 3-D on Bob 'Hardcore' Holly, it was obvious that the
Hollys will be more then a match for the Dudleys in the near future. With both teams bringing
their own style of Hardcore to the tag team division, it's only a matter of time before one of
them end up with the titles.
The Dudley Boys defeated The Hollys when D-Von defeated Holly by putting him through a table
in 0:09:56.

A quick match as the DeGeneration X leader dominated the smaller Triple Syxx. Syxx tried to
take down HHH but failed as the Game lived up to his name with some deadly moves that almost
maimed his former friend.
HHH made short work of Triple Syxx and dropped him with the Pedigree just after the five min.
mark.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley pinned Triple Syxx with the Pedigree in 0:05:19.
Rating: ** 3/4
**As Triple H goes to set up Triple Syxx for a second Pedigree, Shawn Michaels comes out at
the top of the ramp.**
SHWN - HUNTER STOP IT! What the hell are you doing. You're calling yourselves DeGeneration X
now, but what you're doing isn't upholding the name of Dx.
Yes, when we formed DeGeneration X, it WAS supposed to help us back each other up.
But it was about having fun at the same time as well. So it seems to me that you, Gunn
and Nash aren't worthy of the DeGeneration X name.
TRIP - Tough sh!t, you can't force me to drop the name, we both own 50% of the name rights as
we came up with it.
SHWN - I know which is why I've decided to have a match for it. At NO WAY OUT, you and Kevin
Nash against Me and Triple Syxx. Winner takes the name, the copywrites and of course
bragging rights.
TRIP - You've got a deal. After Sunday 25th, the world will see the one and only, DeGeneration
X. Badder then ever.
AUSTIN & TAZZ Vs. SHAMROCK & ROCK
Rock & Shamrock teamed up next to take on Austin & Tazz in a tag match. It was a tag match in
name only as it was just a brawl that might as well have been a Texas Tornado match. Shamrock
and Austin went at each other on the outside as Tazz tried to get the Rock in a position for
the Tazmission.
But The Rock got payback for his defeat against Tazz last week by pinning the Orange and Black
attack with the Rock Bottom.
But it didn't end there as Austin delivered the Sell Out Stunner to the WWF Champion following
the pinfall.
Ken Shamrock and Rocky Maivia defeated Steve Austin and Tazz when Maivia pinned Tazz with the
Rock Bottom in 0:10:17.
Rating: *** 1/2

BENOIT & SANDMAN Vs. AL SNOW & ANGLE
The main event kicked off with Snow and Benoit in the ring. Despite Snow's attempts to get his
hands on the Sandman, Benoit refused to tag out and continued to work over Al Snow.
But when Al Snow made the tag out to Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit soon had to tag out as Angle took
him down with a series of Suplexes.
Eventually we did get to see Al Snow and the Sandman in the ring at the same time and Snow took
out his revenge on the former XPW icon. Snow had the Sandman stunned at his flury but he was
still able to pick up the win after Benoit nailed Snow with the IC belt as Shane distracted
the official.
Kurt tried to get in and help but he got a belt shot to the head as well and Benoit pushed him
to the outside. Sandman then put Snow away with the DDT.
As the referee called for the bell, Shane entered and handed the Singapore Cane to Sandman,
who proceeded to beat the tar out of Al Snow.
Chris Benoit and The Sandman defeated Al Snow and Kurt Angle when Sandman pinned Snow with the
DDT in 0:10:51.
Rating: **
**Kurt Angle is struggling to get up on the outside as Al Snow is being Caned by the Sandman
and Chris Benoit, who seems to have found a second one from somewhere.
Al Snow has been busted wide open and his blood is flowing onto the canvas. Kurt Angle has
finally managed to get back up and dives into the ring and throws Chris Benoit out of the
ring.
The Sandman turns around and Kurt nails him with the Olympic Slam. As Shane orders Sandman
and Benoit to get out of there, Kurt Angle tries to get Al Snow up but fails as Snow falls
down again.
EMTs rush from out the back pushing a gurney. They push it to the end of the ring and a few
slide in and help Kurt Angle to roll the Snow-man onto it.
After a few minutes, Al Snow has been straped in tightly and the EMTs start to wheel him
backstage to a waiting ambulance as Kurt Angle follows holding one of the Singapore Canes.**
WWF 24/7 HaRdCoRe CHALLENGE
AL SNOW (C)
Al Snow just can't get a break! He was being wheeled towards the ambulance still unconcious
and strapped to the gurney, when Sabu came running up followed by a referee.
Sabu tried to pin Al Snow, but Kurt Angle pulled him off and gave a series of right hands to
him. Sabu soon ran away to regroup as Kurt Angle walked back up to Al Snow's gurney.
For some reason when Kurt placed a hand on Al Snow's chest to re-assure him, the referee who
came with Sabu counted it as a pinfall and made the three count!!
As Al Snow was finally loaded into the ambulance, the ref handed the WWF HaRdCoRe title to a
confused Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle pinned Al Snow in 0:05:40.
Rating: *
(Kurt Angle won the WWF HaRdCoRe Title.)
