WWE International Sunday Night Heat Report-14th November 2004
By Shaun Best-Rajah.com Reporter
Welcome everyone to International Heat. I am your host Shaun Best as we gear up to Survivor Series. The Coach & Todd Grisham are on commentary and Howard Finkel is the ring announcer. No pyro as we go straight into………
The Hurricane & Rosey vs Eddie Craven & Jared Steele
The Superheroes get a pop and the jobbers get no reaction. Surprise Surprise. Rosey & Craven start and Rosey goes to work an arm, Craven gets a reversal but his blows barely seem to faze or budge Rosey and he rolls out with ease, and slams Craven down. Craven dodges a Rosey elbowdrop and again tries to work the arm, and tries to throw him into the ropes. Rosey reverses, Craven attempts a sunset flip but Rosey comes down on him with a sitting kneedrop. Tag to Hurricane and he scores with a spinning kick off the ropes. Steele enters, Hurricane poses, Steele backs off then charges, Hurricane ducks and Steele stops at Rosey who imitates Hurricane and Steele is in between both Superheroes. Steele turns to Hurricane who tosses him through the ropes and Hurricane punches Craven in the corner. Craven reverses an Irish whip but eats an elbow upon charging. Hurricane climbs to the top and comes off with a flying cross bodyblock and gets a two count for his team. Craven is snapmared and then stretched by Hurricane on the canvas, Steele comes in with a boot to break it up and turns to go out, Hurricane comes from behind and punches him out but that gives Craven enough time to snuck up behind Hurricane and take him down with a blow to the back of the leg. Steele is tagged in and he kicks away at the leg before bringing his weight down on it on the ropes. Steele drops an elbow and applies pressure to the left knee/ankle area as Rosey tries to fire his partner up from the apron. The crowd begin to get behind Hurricane as he tries to fight his way out but Steele goes right back to the same hold. Hurricane punches out from the canvas, Steele gets up, kicks at the leg and applies pressure to the same leg by gripping at the left foot and kicks away. Craven tags in and he picks up where Steele left off but Hurricane eventually punches out. Craven gets to his feet first, punch and whip to the ropes, Craven puts his head down early, Hurricane capitalizes with a neckbreaker and tags in Rosey as Craven tags in Steele. Rosey takes down both opponents with clotheslines and backelbows, slams down Steele then Craven and Irish whips Steele to the corner. Craven lands Punches on Rosey in the corner, but Hurricane rolls in, punches him and the Superheroes whip him into Steele and Hurricane pushes Rosey along to the same corner and the jobbers get squished. Rosey throws Craven to the outside and Hurricane hits a reverse inverted DDT type maneuver (similar to the impaler/unprettier) on Steele and Rosey finishes him off with a legdrop from the second rope. Grisham calls it "The Fade to Black" but it doesn't matter as Rosey covers for the win.1-2-3. Here are Your Winners: THE HURRICANE & ROSEY.

Rhyno vs Jeremy Young
Rhyno charges to the ring and gets a nice pop from the audience along the way. Young has the fire emblazoned on the back of his trunks but I have a feeling that Rhyno will put that fire out this week folks.
Young climbs to the second rope but can't get a reaction and him and Rhyno circle each other as the bell gets this one underway. Young tries to slide into Rhyno and Psyche him out but Rhyno swats him away lands a kick to the midsection and punches him into the corner. After more kicks Rhyno plays to the crowd and gets a good response. Rhyno whips Young to the corner, follows through and connects with a head to the midsection. Rhyno comes off the ropes with a shoulderblock taking Young down and again but a third charge ends in Young recovering and throwing Rhyno over the top rope and to the floor. Rhyno sells on the floor while Young plays to the crowd in the ring and generates heat. He should take advantage instead of playing to the crowd. Rhyno eventually rolls back in and Young greets him with kicks and punches. Young whips Rhyno into the ropes, Rhyno holds on, Young charges and is tossed to the outside no he hangs onto the rope and stands on the apron, blocks Rhyno's roundhouse attempt, lands a punch of his own and rams Rhyno's head into the top turnbuckle, pulls him to the ground by the hair and crashes on top of him via a legdrop from the second rope. Young is hesitant but he goes for the cover and Rhyno kicks out at two. Young applies a chinlock whilst beating the neck of the man beast, throws him to the ground and drops a knee to the face and again plays to the crowd before making the cover. Rhyno unsurprisingly kicks out at two. Young continues to punch Rhyno and applies an armbar, the crowd's momentum helps Rhyno punch out of it, and Rhyno attemps a whip to the ropes, Young reverses, Rhyno ducks a swing attempt and takes Young down with a flying clothesline. Rhyno connects with two more clotheslines, a belly to belly suplex and polishes him off with the Gore. 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: RHYNO. Post Match Rhyno grabs a chair as the referee rolls out Young and Rhyno stands in victory with the chair and bashes his head into it a few times.

La Resistance vs Eugene & William Regal
La Resistance enter to boos but there's a Worst Album Ever Sylvain Sings CD sign in the crowd and Sylvain treats us all and especially that fan in the front row to his singing. Fortunately it's cut off after a bit by Eugene's music and Eugene & William Regal make their way to the ring to a monster pop much to Sylvain's annoyance and Eugene is clad in his big blow up hands which he hands to a lucky kid at ringside. Lots of Eugene signs and fans in the house tonight so it looks like he's still going strong. Regal helps Eugene take off his jacket and the question bears can Eugene & Regal avenge that shady defeat from Raw in Manchester not too long ago? Let's find out. Eugene & Grenier start, they lockup and Eugene shoves Grenier down to the canvas and pays homage to Hulk Hogan much to the crowd's delight. Second lockup, Eugene applies a side headlock, Eugene off the ropes, jumps over Sylvain a few times and acts like a dog, cheekily waving as Grisham debates whether he's imitating the late JYD. Eugene works the arm throws Grenier to the ropes, jumps over and rolls into a ball, waving again as Grenier looks puzzled. Conway is tagged in and Eugene comes out of the ball flipping Conway over and into a cover but it only gets a one count. Eugene goes to work Conway's arm but Conway punches him down and a knee to the head leaves Eugene hanging in the ropes. Grenier drops to the outside and lands a cheap shot in before smiling for the camera that's on him. Conway covers Eugene who kicks out at two, Grenier tags back in and he unloads with punches, kicks and elbows to a hapless Eugene. Grenier hits a knee to the midsection, slams Eugene down but Eugene dodges a Grenier kneedrop crawls under his legs and tags Regal in. Regal punches Grenier and backelbows him off the ropes, before whipping him into the corner and following up with a punch in the back of the head and a northern lights suplex but Conway breaks up the cover. Eugene comes in to knock Conway down but Conway manages to grab the flag while the referee is busy getting Eugene out of the ring. Conway goes to hit Regal but he strikes Grenier instead and the flag breaks off. Regal knocks Conway to the outside and covers Grenier, this must be it, 1-2-no Conway yanks Regal to the outside and Regal knocks Conway down for his troubles as the action goes off briefly for a Raw Promo. Back to the action and Regal Irish whips Grenier and follows up with a backbodydrop and a double underhook suplex. Regal goes for the cover but Conway breaks it up at two. An irate Regal beats on Conway in the corner and Sylvain comes from behind and drives his head to the midsection of Regal and then kicks away at the now bloody Regal. Conway tags in and La Resistance kick Regal in the gut and shove him down before walking over him. Regal tries to fight back at Conway but Conway lands a kick and whips him to the corner but meets Regal's head when charging and then a high knee as Regal tries to fight back. Conway comes back with a knee of his own to floor Regal and Grenier tags back in, lifts Regal and brings him down onto his knee and gets another near fall. Grenier proceeds to stretch the neck of Regal who tries kicking and biting out but to no avail as Grenier stays on the attack with more knees whilst holding him down. Regal tries to inch his way to his corner but in the midst of all this, Conway enters to distract the ref and Regal makes the tag but the referee doesn't see it and prevents Eugene from entering and La Resistance double team Regal. La Resistance work on Regal in their corner as Conway tags in hits more knees until from nowhere Regal backbodydrops him and finally makes the tag. Eugene enters knocks down La Resistance a few times and puts Conway in a fireman's carry. Grenier enters but is knocked down by Conways' legs as Eugene spins him round. Eugene goes to the top rope and connects on Conway with a double axehandle. Eugene waits as Conway gets up, turns around and hits the Rock Bottom. 1-2 Grenier breaks it up with a legdrop to Eugene but Regal enters and knees Grenier to the outside while Conway gets up, and grabs Eugene by the hair. Eugene swats away and wham hits a Stunner and covers. 1-2-3. Here are Your Winners: EUGENE & WILLIAM REGAL. Post Match the faces celebrate and Eugene plays Aeroplanes as Coach & Grisham both agree that they are in line for a World Tag Team Title Match.
Grisham plugs Survivor Series and thanks us for watching. End of Show.
