Corporate Ministry Interview

Shane grabs the mic and the crowd starts booing. Shane's very presence is drawing major heat from the UK crowd. Ah, the
familiar "asshole" chant. He mentions the first match will involve The Brood (pop) vs. The Acolytes and Viscera (boo).

Also, runs down other matches on the card including the European title being brought out of retirement, which he will defend
against X-Pac. New stipulation added to the triple threat main event for the world title, it will be (in Shane's own words) a "No
bolds harred" match (that cock-up got a grin from Triple H)

Someone's holding a sign behind Jim Ross' head which reads, "I wish I was a lesbian".

Tiger Ali Singh vs. Gillberg

Singh spat his chewing gum out a fan on the way down to the ring. He grabs the mic and says he gets the impression that the
UK crowd doesn't like him (HUGE cheer). He said that maybe it's because we think he should be driving a taxi cab. At this
point they tried to cut his mic. He said the only good thing about England is that it's populated by millions of Indian's (crowd
didn't know whether to cheer or boo).

Gillberg is called from backstage, and gets a monster pop from the crowd. Silly faces and noises aplenty as he makes his way
to the ring (with the Light-heavyweight title)

Gillberg starts with a few good punches and even manages a slam, followed by a spear. He then starts posing over by the ropes
and gets caught with a neckbreaker by Singh - and adds another tick in the loss column.

The Acolytes & Viscera vs. The Brood

Brood hit the ring to a huge pop, and for once we can see Christian's face! Gangrel starts out against Viscera, lots of punches
thrown. Big Mabel missed a leg drop. Edge tags in double elbow drops on Mabel. V tags in Bradshaw, who slams Edge, a
piledriver attempt blocked, classic Edge/Christian double team. Farooq tags in more double teaming. Farooq gained a near fall
via a spinebuster. Bradshaw threw Edge around outside the ring. Mabel hit the ring to a traditional UK chant of "You Fat
Bastard". After a few exchanges Christian and Bradshaw lock up, a fall away slam later leaves Christian to be attacked outside
by Farooq. Back in the ring bradshaw hit a bear hug. The crowd rallied behind Christian, a near fall was gained by Bradshaw.
Mabel taged in and hit a side slam. Cout broke by Edge. Christian's cruicfix attempt was turned into a nasty looking Samoan
drop. Farooq tagged in and hit a chin lock. A bulldog later left Christian attempting a tag but Farooq tagged Bradshaw. Who
threw Christian around the ring. A powerslam/pinfall was broke again by Edge. Median and Shane MacMahon are then seen at
the end of the aisle watching the match. Christian hit Bradshaw with a tornado DDT and tried for a tag. He got one from
Gangrel. Edge & Gangrel doubleteamed Bradhaw, Christian hit a big elbow for a near fall. As a brawl broke out Mideon hit
the ring and DDT'd Gangrel on the floor and threw him into the ring where Bradshaw hit the closeline from hell for the match.
Shane then shouted about it was 4 down one to go.

After the match we see a promo for Steve Blackman.

"Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman vs. Droz

Blackman comes out with his martial arts sticks to a decent pop, Droz is without Prince Albert tonight.

Droz gets knocked to the outside and the crowd start a chant what I believe is, "Shotgun jobber". Blackman baseball slides
through the ropes into Droz's back.

Back inside the ring, Droz catches Blackman with an elbow after he went to charge him. Droz continues to shout at the crowd
and get heat. The "Shotgun jobbers" (plural) chant is slowly starting up again.

Droz remains in control and the crowd continue their loud "Jobbers!!!" chants. Droz looks to be getting wound up by them. He
chucks Blackman over the top rope and drops an elbow on him off the ring apron. He rolls him (Blackman) back into the ring
and attempts a move off the top rope - only to be met by Blackman's foot. Blackman gets what I beleive to be a "grapevine" on
Droz's arm - which makes him tap furiously.

A Beaver Cleavage vignette was shown.

Cactus Jack Interview

Foley came out as Cactus Jack and spoke about Davey Boy Smith, then asked if he could use the word "ass", then said he
knew he couldn't say the word "wanker". Then said that he knew Billy Gunn was a bad ass, but if anyone had ever saw him the
shower they would know the he(Cactus) had a real bad ass.

***
Midian vs. Kane

Big staredown to begin with, big boots and punches from The Big Red Machine and a very scientific looking clothesline. Kane
then followed up with a powerslam, but missed a charge into the corner. Mideon then hit a mean looking arm ringer. Kane
counterd, but Mideon hit a jaw breaker. Threw Kane in the corner, then hita headlock. Lots of punches from Mideon, Kane
responded by punching Mideon. Kane hit the top rope and hit Mideon with what should of been a diving clothesline. Then a
chokeslam. The Corporate Ministry, minus HHH and Taker, did a run in and attacked Kane. X-Pac made the save with a
broom handle. For some reason the whole CP ran off. Shane the hit the stick saying it was two up for the CM and X-Pac was
next. Kane looked to of re-injured possibly popped out his shoulder.

We then see then see the Sable/Deborah clip from RAW HBk made Debs the women's champ.

***
Tori vs. Sable

Tori has a new leopard print outfit, Sable is wearing her catsuit. Nicole Bass is accompanying Sable. Oh no, it's the grind (get's
a big pop though). Sable starts coughing (pathetically) and insulting England - the crowd starts to boo. Says she's developed a
chest cold and that she cannot wrestle tonight. Says that Nicole Bass will take her place and the crowd continue to boo.

So, it's now Nicole Bass vs. Tori. Tori attacks Bass from behind but has no effect. Crowd start a HUGE chant of, "She's a
man!" Chokeslam from Bass and then pins Tori for the win.

Quote from Jim Ross: "That's one big she-male" (talking about Nicole Bass).

*European title match* Shane McMahon vs. X-Pac

Shane is shown interviewd. He says he has 2 words for X-Pac...NO Mercy, A sign is shown:"Shane is a bitch". A big pop for
X-Pac as he hit the ring. Shane went to attack X-pac but he threw him out the ring. The pyro's went of then X-Pac dropped
Shane over the top rope with a big back body drop. Then Shane walked of down the aisle. The Stooges came out punched
Shane back to the ring. X-Pac attacked Shane in the ring, then Chyna came out and wiped out the Stooges. Then she rammed
_pac shoulder first into the ring post. Big chants for X-Pac. As he got back in the ring where Shane suplexed him. Then a
Hitman like elbow of the middle rope earned Shane a 2 count. Big punches were then traded, then Shane hit a sleeper as a
asshole chant started. X-Pac counterd with a belly-to-back suplex. Spinning heel kicks into Shane, as Chyna distracted the ref
Shane went to hit him but hit the ref. As the ref was down Chyna wiped out X-Pac with the belt. Shane got a 2 count. Triple H
then hit the ringside. Shane missed a Bronco buster, X-Pac hit the X-Factor. Chyna swept the ref out, then hit the top rope but
X-pac shook the Ropes. After some exchanges Triple H hit the pedigree and Shane got the 3 count.

Sign of the night: Triple H - one sad HBK wannabe

The three then attacked X-Pac, Shane did a bronco buster, but the lights go out Kane comes down. Business is about to pick
up. Kane still showed signs of an injured shoulder. Shane said its 3 down, and Austin is next to pay. Kane carried X-Pac to the
back.

***
Cactus Jack/Mankind Interview

Michael Cole interviews Foley - who is dressed as Cactus Jack but he calls him Mankind. He's asked if he thinks The
Corporate Ministry will interfere in his match. Foley says they haven't so far and that maybe it's because they like him. At this
point he's attacked by them.

***
Billy Gunn vs. Mankind

Billy Gunn tells the crowd to suck it - he gets booed. Mankind doesn't come out at first and Mr Ass says he had nothing to do
with it. Another few moments then Mankind comes out.

Mankind starts off on the offence. The tide soon changes as Billy Gunn goes after Mankind's injured leg. They go to the outside
and Mankind is thrown over the railings. Billy charges him and is backdropped back over the railings.

Back inside the ring, Foley goes for an elbow drop and misses. Mr Ass works over his knee again, wrapping Mankind's legs
around the ring post. Gunn applies a figure four leglock, but Mankind made it to the ropes.

Foley eventually manages to turn the tide and catches Mr Ass with a double under-arm DDT. Socko is produced and the
mandible claw is applied, but Gunn throws him down onto a steel chair - which was brought into the ring earlier. Mankind is
then piledriven onto the chair and Billy gets a 2 count but the timekeeper rings the bell(?). He then hits the fame-asser onto the
steel chair and gets the pinfall victory.

After the match, a short tribute to the British Bulldog Davy Boy Smith is shown.
