Welcome back everybody. We're just hours away from Vengeance which should be a blockbuster PPV but for now let's see what International Heat brings to the table. No Maria on announcing this week as Lilian is back. We begin the action this week with..........................................................

Robert Conway vs Tajiri
Conway is without his flag and Sylvain Grenier but his look is similar to Rene Dupree's new one and he is still sporting La Resistance tights. I predict a trade and a different La Resistance. Conway with a side headlock, Tajiri sends off the ropes, Conway puts him down via a shoulder tackle. Conway winds up the arm and puts Tajiri down. Tajiri nips up and kicks Conway. Conway boots Tajiri and punches him down. Conway sends Tajiri's head to the corner as a small ECW chant starts. Tajiri chops at Conway and lands a high kick that drops Conway who opts to slide outside. Conway gets back in boots Tajiri, charges him into the corner and beats him down with punches. Conway chokes with his boot before backelbowing Tajiri down off the ropes. Conway runs the ropes, drops an elbow, two count only. Conway slaps Tajiri's head, Tajiri off the ropes kicks Conway in the head. Tajiri runs the ropes into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker from Conway. Conway gets a nearfall, lands punches to Tajiri's head on the mat before cinching in a reverse chinlock. Tajiri elbows free, Conway forearms, Tajiri whipped off the ropes comes back with a springboard backelbow which connects on Conway. Tajiri lands stiff kicks, Conway off the ropes into a spinning heel kick from Tajiri. Conway rolls onto the apron, Tajiri charges and hits another springboard to knock Conway to the floor. Tajiri hits a baseball slide. Tajiri rolls Conway back in, Tajiri on the apron drives his head into a charging Conway's gut and tries a sunset flip. Conway fights it and drops down but Tajiri rises up from behind and nails a reverse kick to the back of Conway's head. Conway looks out of it but kicks out of Tajiri's cover at two. Tajiri kicks and punches Conway then lifts for a suplex. Conway thwarts this by grabbing the top rope, kneeing Tajiri then lifting and balancing him on the top rope. Tajiri tries to fight it but Conway delivers a one man au revoir and that does it. 1-2-3. Good opener. Here is Your Winner: ROBERT CONWAY.

Still to come The Superheroes & Val Venis vs The Heart Throbs & Maven.

Up next John Cena vs Muhammad Hassan from Raw.

"The Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs Patrick Leizer
Patrick Leizer is back again with another showing. Big hometown pop for him during Masters long drawn out entrance. Lockup, Masters backs Leizer to the corner and Leizer ducks a punch and backs up. Masters backs Leizer to the corner again, Leizer punches Masters. Masters complains to the referee before sucker punching Leizer down and booting him. Masters with a number of backbreakers then throws down Leizer. Masters stomps Leizer and stands on him with both feet. Masters chops Leizer before bouncing him off the ropes into a backbodydrop. Masters covers for two then clubs at Leizer's back. Leizer fights back with punches but Masters clubs Leizer down then kicks him in the ribs. Masters with an Irish whip charges into Leizer's knees. Masters charges into a backelbow and Leizer finally puts him down with a clothesline. Leizer with a series of punches, Masters stops a whip to the ropes by booting Leizer in the gut then puts him down with a blow to the back of the head. Masters lifts Leizer, snake eyes connects. Masters stalks Leizer who staggers back into the Masterlock. Leizer doesn't respond to the referee and is out like a light as The Masterlock claims another victim. Masters is improving in the ring and I'll give him credit. He badly needs a feud though but a good squash match nevertheless. Here is Your Winner: "THE MASTERPIECE" CHRIS MASTERS.

Later Edge and Lita's wedding from Raw.

WWE Slam of the Week: Raw two weeks ago Lita announces her and Edge are getting married before Vengeance.

Kane interrupts Edge and Lita's wedding after Edge teases us all by having Matt Hardy's music play. Ironic that the guy who gets the biggest pop on Raw isn't even there. I can't help but think that Hardy will be at Vengeance. It would be cool if he was. Lita and Edge escape Kane and we don't get to see Kane chokeslam the priest. We get match hype instead.

The Heart Throbs & Maven vs The Hurricane & Rosey w/Superhero Diva Stacy Keibler & Val Venis
The heels enter together to the Heart Throbs music and their entrance makes me laugh. They make their way to the ring with their usual routine and trap the referee in the ring and subject him to some wiggle and gyration. The faces all enter to the Superhero music and Stacy looks hot as usual. I long to have my way with her especially dressed like she is LOL. Loyd comments that Stacy's entrance through the ropes is the best move in the WWE and I agree. The Heart Throbs play rock, paper, scissors to see who begins and Maven is upset he wasn't included. However when he sees Rosey beginning he backs off and allows Romeo to start. Romeo ducks Rosey and taunts him with a wiggle then with a superhero pose. Rosey kicks Romeo down then taunts Romeo's wiggle before slamming him down. Hurricane tags in runs the ropes and Rosey press slams him on top of Romeo and Hurricane gets an early one count. Hurricane winds up the arm and tags Val in. Val comes off the top rope with an axehandle to the arm of Romeo. Romeo with an immediate knee to the gut tags in Maven who charges into a hiptoss. Val chops Maven, delivers running kneelifts, boots, a side russian legsweep and he gets a one count. Maven rolls to the apron, Val advances, Romeo distracts the referee and Antonio comes across the apron and knees Val in the head. Maven unloads on Val with punches then delivers a short arm clothesline. Maven with a nearfall picks up Val only to dropkick him back down. Maven drives elbows into Val in the corner talks smack to a girl in the crowd: "What you looking at fatgirl" before Irish whipping Val and charging into a knee. Val clotheslines Maven and both men are down. Stacy and the crowd rally Val who tags in Hurricane as Maven tags in Antonio before rolling to the floor outside. Hurricane clotheslines Antonio down twice, Romeo rushes in, Hurricane ducks, slaps his chest and throws him over the top rope to the outside. Antonio charges and Hurricane backbodydrops him to the floor where he joins his partners in a heap. Hurricane goes to the top rope and comes off hitting all three heels outside with a flying cross body. Hurricane gets back in and Hurriposes for the fans. Hurricane reaches out and pulls a groggy Antonio in under the bottom rope and covers for one. Hurricane picks up Antonio, Antonio rakes the face and punches away at Hurricane's face/head. Antonio drives Hurricane's head into Romeo's boot. Romeo tags in elbows Hurricane in the head tags Antonio back in and the Heart Throbs double whip Hurricane backfirst to the corner he was in. During all this Todd and Marc specualte on how to win over Stacy and mention Jewellery or having Brad Pitt or David Beckham in tow with Todd saying no-one can bend it like Beckham. Romeo places Hurricane on the mat and covers for two, er mistake as Antonio is the legal man. Rookie mistake by the Heart Throbs and the referee. Romeo traps Hurricane in a facelock, Maven tags in and elbows Hurricane in the back a couple of times. Hurricane off the ropes, Maven's put his head down too early and Hurricane capitalizes by hooking Maven and twisting him round into a backslide pin attempt which Antonio breaks up at two. Rosey comes in and headbutts Antonio down. The referee gets Rosey to leave and Maven attacks from behind with a punch which sends Rosey through the ropes. Val tries to come in but the referee holds him back as Maven punches at Hurricane. Hurricane off the ropes hangs on as Maven's dropkick meets air sending him crashing to the canvas. Hurricane crawls over and tags in Val who rushes in and ducks Maven instead shoving Antonio on the apron before turning back to Maven and dropping him with a roundhouse then backelbow. Maven reverses off the ropes, Val clotheslines Maven. Romeo charges in but Val catches with a half nelson slam. Val boots Maven in the gut, fisherman suplex is broken up at two by Antonio. The superheroes get back in and Hurricane punches Antonio while Rosey punches Romeo. The Heart Throbs are then clotheslined over the top rope in stereo by the superheroes leaving Maven all alone in the ring. Maven unaware of this slugs at Val, Val reverses into the ropes where the superheroes are in Maven's way. Maven puts on the brakes says something and turns into a spinebuster by Val. Val signals for the end, goes up top and splashes on top of Maven with the Money Shot. Val covers 1-2-3. Entertaining Main Event. The faces should be on Raw more especially Val Venis. He could fit into the current Viscera storyline. Just an idea. Here Are Your Winners: VAL VENIS, ROSEY & THE HURRICANE. Post match the faces and Stacy embrace and celebrate with their arms raised and probably something else too merely at the sight of seeing Stacy LOL.

Loyd and Grisham shill for Vengeance before Grisham signs off and thanks us for watching. End of show.

Quick Vengeance predictions: BATISTA, JOHN CENA, SHAWN MICHAELS, CARLITO, VICTORIA, EDGE. A few more matches may also get added during Heat or the PPV. I wouldn't mind seeing the six man tag again. I'll be back tomorrow with a recap of what went down on the Pre Vengeance edition of Heat so until then wherever you are enjoy Vengeance and I'll see you later. Shaun.
