Welcome aboard Heat fans. No your eyes aren't deceiving you. Heat is back in its normal format which we all know and love. Without further ado let's go straight to the action that we have all missed seeing for weeks. We begin this week with:-

Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Colt Cabana
Nice to see Colt, not so nice to see Hacksaw but I'll give the man his due as he is still incredibly over with the crowd. Coachman cuts off Grisham welcoming Bobby Cruz to Heat as Coachman is in a bad mood this week following the Sweet Chin Music he received on Raw from Shawn Michaels. Lots of the usual Hooooos and USAs throughout from Hacksaw. Colt acts all scared of Hacksaw's 2x4 at the start. Hacksaw no-sells a Colt sneak attack as he hits Colt with three clotheslines. Colt avoids a three point stance clothesline by rolling to the outside. Hacksaw has intentions of finishing this one early. Grisham takes time out to remark Heat is back to its bread and butter this week after several special editions. Hacksaw goes out to punch Colt down. Back inside as Hacksaw goes to get in Colt takes advantage by getting some shots in before settling into a rear naked choke. Hacksaw backelbows free but charges into a knee to the gut. Colt plays to the booing crowd before dropping a fist onto Hacksaw and getting two unsuccessful covers. Colt sends Hacksaw back down again before going back to the rear naked choke gradually wearing Hacksaw down. After what seems like an age Hacksaw stirs trying to elbow free again. Colt sends Hacksaw's head to the corner then begins to strut. Hacksaw comes back throwing Colt's head into a few of the corners. Hacksaw mounts for a successful ten punch assault in the corner. Hacksaw foolishly plays to the crowd allowing Colt to rake the face. Hacksaw reverses an Irish whip, Colt rebounds into a slam before Hacksaw finishes proceedings with the three point stance clothesline. 1-2-3. Bad match but nonetheless a Hacksaw showcase as he readies for a feud with Eugene following events from last Monday's Raw. Here is Your Winner: HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN. Post match Hacksaw throws his 2x4 in the air in celebration.

Charlie Haas vs Super Crazy
Coachman says Haas isn't in his Cyber Sunday plans but is in his future plans. In my opinion Super Crazy has been given the shaft as he should be in the voting for the Intercontinental Title match at Cyber Sunday. I don't like the concept of just having three choices for everything on the card especially in the Intercontinental Title match as one could argue that Chris Masters should also be in the mix. On a separate note welcome to Heat senor Super Crazy. On the reaction front Haas receives a timid response while Crazy gets a nice ovation. Haas scores with an armdrag and hiptoss to begin before taunting Crazy by saying he's in for a long day. This prompts the crowd to chant Charlie sucks. Haas backs Crazy to the corner, Crazy comes out with punches, forearms and an Irish whip with Haas rebounding into a hiptoss. Crazy hits a dropkick, drop toehold and two la mahistrol cradles for nearfalls before Haas rolls to the outside. Crazy sneaks from behind, Haas knees the gut, Crazy manages to ram Haas into the apron. Crazy puts Haas back in drives a head to the gut from the apron but Crazy botches a sunset flip attempt. Haas brings Crazy's back down across his knee and works over it with stomps and knees as the Charlie sucks chant starts up again. Crazy punches back, Haas ducks a clothesline off the ropes before booting the gut and landing a double underhook suplex. Haas works over the back some more before scoring a nearfall. Haas applies a chinlock while driving a knee into Crazy's back. Crazy punches free but runs into a big boot to the face. Haas rakes his boot across Crazy's face before landing a slam, dropping a knee, slapping the face then covering for a nearfall. Haas knees the gut before going to an abdominal stretch gaining unfair leverage by holding the ropes. Crazy stirs as the fans chant Eddie but the referee spots Haas holding the ropes forcing Haas to break and punch Crazy down. Haas lands a slam, goes for an elbowdrop but Crazy gets his knees up. Both go to opposite corners. Crazy sidesteps a Haas charge who subsequently hits the corner. Crazy nails a springboard dropkick from the second rope, a series of forearms then a spinning heel kick off the ropes. Crazy lands a missile dropkick from the top rope quickly followed by a standing moonsault. 1-2-kickout. Haas boots and punches Crazy down. Haas lifts Crazy in a firemans carry, Crazy quickly turns it into a sunset flip, hooks the legs. 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: SUPER CRAZY. Post match Crazy quickly gets out of dodge avoiding an angry Haas who looks on. Good match.

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs The Highlanders
Cade and Murdoch come back to Heat following the end of their burial...I mean mini feud with DX. The commentators keep hyping how mean and nasty Cade and Murdoch are. The Highlanders are still over with the crowd despite their recent burials. They fire up by hitting each other on their way to the ring. Grisham notes the winers of this match must get a Tag Title shot. Coachman stutters an answer before reminding us how Ric Flair and a partner have an opportunity to take Tag Title gold at Cyber Sunday. In other words the Tag Team division also feels the shaft at Cyber Sunday in favour of Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes etc. Murdoch gets the early advantage over Rory sending him off the ropes into a backelbow before pushing him into a Cade shoulder tackle. Cade slams Rory but misses with an elbowdrop allowing the Highlanders to work over Cade's arm with frequent tags and drop down shots from the second and top rope. On a quick sidenote the Highlanders hit each other in the face to tag in. Cade finally puts a stop to this by punching Robbie down then Irish whipping him. Grisham says the Highlanders will be on the upcoming UK tour and will be close to their home of Scotland when Raw is live from Manchester. Manchester is nowhere near Scotland. It's in a different country altogether. Anyway I digress Cade charges into Robbie's boot. Rory tags in with Robbie using Rory's head as a battering ram to nail Cade in the gut. Murdoch rushes in to get booted by both Highlanders before they drive Murdoch's head into Cade's gut. The Highlanders deliver a double backbodydrop to Murdoch. Cade and Murdoch both get double clotheslined over the top rope as Heat goes to commercials. We're back to see Murdoch distract Rory from the outside allowing Cade to axehandle him down. The Highlanders regain the momentum after Murdoch Irish whips Rory but charges into an elbow. Rory drives Murdoch's head into the corner twice, unleashes a couple of headbutts which results in Murdoch falling down with his ass in the air. Robbie drops an elbow across Murdoch's neck for a one count. The tide turns when Cade makes a blindtag as Robbie sends Murdoch off the ropes. Robbie gets booted in the head by Murdoch before Cade lands an inverted atomic drop then Murdoch nails a running boot to the head. Cade applies a head vice then continually chokes Robbie with his hands on the mat. Cade and Murdoch whip Robbie back first into the heel corner twice before Murdoch whips Cade into Robbie who receives a vicious clothesline in the corner. Cade sends Robbie into a Murdoch backdrop for a nearfall. Murdoch slugs Rory off the apron cue a double team behind the referee's back as Robbie gets worked over with punches and boots in the heel corner. After being worked over some more Cade Irish whips Robbie who manages to forearm a charging Cade. Robbie tries to punch his way out of trouble but Cade recovers to hit a back suplex. Murdoch drops an elbow across Robbie's back then suplexes him for a nearfall. Murdoch ties Robbie up with an armbar whilst pushing against his head. Robbie manages to punch free and hit a standing dropkick. Both combatants manage to crawl to their partners and tag out. Rory takes down Cade and Murdoch with a series of double axehandle chops and punches before firing up. Rory hits battering rams to the guts of Cade and Murdoch in different corners before sending Murdoch off the ropes into a flapjack. Rory goes to the top rope, Robbie launches his partner off but Murdoch moves resulting in Rory crashing and burning. Cade pulls Robbie down from the outside before getting back in where Cade and Murdoch deliver the high low to Rory. Cade covers 1-2-3. Here Are Your Winners: LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH. Good match and win for Cade and Murdoch. The Highlanders' plight continues. Maybe a heel turn is on the cards born out of frustration. Post match Cade deposits both Highlanders out of the ring and celebrates with his partner.

Coachman gives his approval to the heels as Grisham signs off thanking us for watching. End of show. Match of the week for me goes to Super Crazy vs Charlie Haas. I'll be back next week so until then take care and have a good one. Later, Shaun.
