Greetings to wherever you are. First off it's farewell to the Dicks. No hard feelings but they failed to penetrate the WWE. On with the show and we begin this week with....

Super Crazy vs Vito
Both men come out alone. Vito backs Crazy to the corner to begin and knees the gut as Crazy gets distracted by a Super Crazy chant. Vito with a side headlock, off the ropes hits a shouldertackle. Vito with a stepover runs into a hiptoss. Crazy follows up with two dropkicks, Vito rolls outside, Crazy nails a pescado. Crazy puts Vito in but spends time with the fans and fuels another Super Crazy chant. Crazy goes to springboard back in but Vito decks him with a punch and Crazy falls outside. Vito puts Crazy back in where Vito sends him off the ropes into a clothesline for a nearfall. Vito with a suplex and elbow from the top rope for another nearfall then applies a chinlock. Crazy begins to fight free so Vito sends him to the mat by the hair. Vito misses an elbow off the ropes, Crazy recovers in the corner and sidesteps a Vito charge. Vito hits the corner face first and Crazy takes advantage with a backbodydrop. Crazy staggers Vito with a backelbow then drops him with a spin kick. Crazy gets in the zone sends Vito off the ropes into another backbodydrop. Crazy off the ropes maneuvers round Vito from a crucifix into a sunset flip followed by a la mahistrol cradle for nearfalls. Crazy off the ropes charges into a powerslam. Vito pulls Crazy into position and signals for the end but Crazy dodges a Vito bomb from the top rope. Crazy hits a missile dropkick from the top rope followed by a standing moonsault press for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: SUPER CRAZY. Good opener.

We cut to a generic background where Josh informs us as part of the forthcoming British WrestleMania Revenge Tour a match has been signed for the Belfast show pitting US Champion Chris Benoit defending his title against the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. Benoit comes in with a few words. Benoit says he's been to Belfast many times before and is looking forward to coming back and successfully defending his US title against the 6"4 400 pound World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. Those are very impresive credentials but what's going to be even more impressive is when the Wolverine locks his hands together and makes him tap out. Josh concludes by plugging WWE.Com for further information on the tour.

Sylvan vs Sean Patrick
Sylvan gets some mic time before the bout. After starting off in French he switches to English saying Americans don't see it, and don't realise.... (cue USA chants and Sylvan's retort of shut up) we don't realise what the people of Quebec realise that Sylvan is the future of the WWE, the pioneer, a gift to wrestling exactly like his homeland Quebec is a gift to all us fans. That's why he is so proud to be the Quebec ambassador. Sylvan carries on in French then charges Patrick in the corner and rains down punches and stomps a mudhole before unleashing another series of punches. Sylvan with an Irish whip and corner clothesline tosses Patrick over the top rope then goes out and press slams Patrick onto the guardrail. Sylvan puts Patrick back in, stomps then places in the second rope where Sylvan chokes then spikes. Sylvan slips outside where he talks trash and delivers some slaps to Patrick before getting back in and tying Patrick up by choking him with his own arm. Sylvan talks trash during the resthold and provokes a USA chant by saying viva Quebec. Patrick stirs, punches free, pokes Sylvan's eyes and delivers a messy standing dropkick that floors Sylvan. Patrick fires up, Sylvan reverses an Irish whip and charges but Patrick gets his feet up. Patrick leaps from the second rope with a cross body attempt but Sylvan rolls back catching Patrick before getting Patrick up on his shoulders and delivering a TKO for the 1-2-3. A more aggressive Sylvan this week with less hints of the model Sylvan. Not bad but where does Sylvan go from here? Here is Your Winner: SYLVAN.

Mascarita Sagrada vs Tsuki
Where's Palmer Canon? Tsuki is quite tiny. Sagrada is undefeated apparently. The referee checks Sagrada who clowns around and falls to the mat then runs into the referee's ass and falls again allowing Tsuki to cover for a one count. Sagrada chases Tsuki round like a dog and pretends to pee on Tsuki in the corner. The Juniors pose a little before Sagrada lifts and drops Tsuki to the mat. Tsuki armdrags Sagrada and both Juniors trip the other up before we get a standoff and both Juniors run the ropes opposite one another and Tsuki points to the arena ceiling. Sagrada looks up, Tsuki twists his nipple and punches him. Sagrada sells the punch by staggering round the ring then falling before Tsuki who covers for another one count. Sagrada sends Tsuki off the ropes into a backelbow. Sagrada chops, Tsuki reverses an Irish whip, Sagrada sidesteps a charge then backbodydrops Tsuki. Sagrada points to the ceiling but Tsuki doesn't buy it. Tsuki does it, Sagrada falls for it and Tsuki steps on his toes and a hip to the face drops Sagrada. Sagrada tosses off Tsuki on cover attempts with the referee catching and throwing Tsuki back down. This carries on until referee Chris Kay has enough and stops. Sagrada argues with Kay a little before whipping Tsuki off the ropes and throwing him to the mat. Sagrada covers, Tsuki tosses him off, Kay catches and throws Sagrada away. Sagrada grabs Kay's shirt before going behind and biting his ass. Tsuki tags onto this game and bites Sagrada's ass at the same time. Comedy on Velocity. Sagrada stops biting Kay and throws Tsuki off of his ass. Sagrada receives a reprimand before avoiding a Tsuki charge and nailing a press slam. Sagrada performs a la mahistrol cradle and just like last week that's enough for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: MASCARITA SAGRADA.

We cut backstage to see the Boogeyman rise from below. The lights go on and after some sinister laughs and tick tocks he asks if the UK is brave enough to stop his clock. Boogey laughs some more before saying he's the Boogeyman and he's coming to get us. I presume he smashed the clock over his head but because this is the early morning edition of Velocity they edit it out and cut to a break.

Simon Dean & Gymini vs Paul London, Brian Kendrick & Funaki
Gymini look like fat Goldberg ripoffs. Simon with some mic work to begin. After introducing himself he says that tonight the Gymini and he will demonstrate the power of his Simon System. He urges us to look at Gymini as they are not only identical but are perfect symmetrical physical specimens created by him. Together with the Simon System Simon says that they're invincible Yeeeeeaaahhh! The faces sprint down with Funaki a distant last. Kendrick wins the race to the ring by the way. At the start London gets thrown to the corner by a Gymini but retaliates with kicks. Gymini puts him back in the corner but London thwarts a charge with his feet and hits the Mushroom stomp. London grabs an arm and tags Funaki who drops an axehandle from the top rope. Funaki tries an armwringer but gets sent off the ropes into a shoulder tackle. Funaki receives a slam, Simon tags in misses an elbow but manages to stomp Funaki in the corner. Funaki reverses an Irish whip and hiptosses Simon and after some right hands Simon gets sent off the ropes Funaki hits a shot to the gut and nails a bulldog. Funaki fires up and heads to the top rope but he gets crotched by a Gymini. Funaki falls and Simon drags him to the heel corner where Gymini stomp and drop elbows for a nearfall. Funaki gets worked over in a corner before a Gymini delivers a butterfly suplex for a nearfall which is broken up by London. Funaki gets a small package for two before Gymini regains control with an axehandle to the back followed by a choke in the ropes. Funaki gets isolated in the heel corner by stomps and fast tags and comeback attempts are quickly foiled by the three on one odds. Simon regains control driving knees into Funaki's head and trapping in a front facelock. Funaki gets up and tags Kendrick but the referee doesn't see and forces Kendrick out. Funaki goes back to being punished in the corner then gets sent off the ropes into a double flapjack by Gymini for a nearfall broken up by both Kendrick and London. Simon teases Funaki making a tag while keeping him at arms length. Simon talks trash, Funaki mounts a comeback and hits an enziguiri kick to Simon off the ropes. Gymini tags in but Funaki goes to the eyes crawls underneath and makes the tag to both his partners. Both come in and nail the Gymini with double dropkicks, double forearms and double crescent kicks. Aaahhh shades of the Rockers. After Gymini receives another double dropkick to the gut Simon is cornered and tries to beg off but receives a double cross body off the ropes before getting double clotheslined over the top rope. London goes out and leaps off the apron but a Gymini catches and slams him on the floor. Back inside the other Gymini Irish whips Kendrick who dodges a charge and goes for Sliced Bread #2 but the other Gymini is back inside and he catches Kendrick mid move and delivers a shoulderbreaker for the 1-2-3. This match went long and was boring in the middle but picked up when London and Kendrick were in the ring. I still don't like Gymini. Here Are Your Winners: SIMON DEAN & GYMINI.

There's a quick shill for the Kurt Angle vs Undertaker rematch signed for SmackDown! this week before Steve signs off to end the show.

The show had a good start this week and the squash match wasn't bad but the show went south from there although there was nice build for the upcoming House Show tour coming up after WrestleMania. I guess Benoit will be keeping his US Title through WrestleMania but with WWE especially House Shows we know that card lineups are subject to change. Keep it here for Heat. Shaun.
