The Grishman and Lilian are back in the Heat house. Three matches on tap this week. We begin with..........................
Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Judas Young
Hacksaw nearly hits Young in the head while swinging his 2x4. Clumsy fool. Coachman calls Hacksaw a timeless treasure for making a second comeback. Er, he's been around on his second comeback for ages now. Where have you been Coachman? After a jostle in the ropes, Hacksaw sends Young outside following a series of clotheslines. Hacksaw tempts Young back in with a free shot. Hacksaw blocks before sending Young back outside following some punches. Young's had enough and heads to the back. Hacksaw steps through the ropes to break up the count which prompts Young to come running back in for some reason. After telegraphing a backbodydrop with a boot, Young takes over with a clothesline and a middle rope choke with his leg draped over Hacksaw. Hacksaw backelbows and punches free from a rear naked choke but runs into a knee to the gut. Young gets some nearfalls after a kneedrop and forearm drop. Young goes to ram Hacksaw's head into the corner but Hacksaw blocks and reverses. Following a successful mounted ten punch assault in the corner, Hacksaw plays to the crowd allowing Young to rake the face. Hacksaw reverses an Irish whip, Young rebounds into a slam. Hacksaw finishes Young off with his three point stance clothesline. 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: HACKSAW JIM DUGAN. Bad match. Hacksaw's selling was atrocious. He managed to keep the crowd going with the usual USA and Hooooo chants. Post match Hacksaw throws his 2x4 in the air in celebration.
New announcer Max Bertos is in the crowd with Vladimir Koslov. (Whose push looks like it's being renewed). After introducing Koslov to boos, Bertos asks for his thoughts on WrestleMania 23. Koslov says he would love to be a part of WrestleMania. Everyone is talking about those superstars. (I presume he means the ones who are part of the event). After spouting some russian Koslov says all of them are afraid of him. Why? Because he is the best and he loves double double e. Bertos signs off. Welcome to Heat Max.
Cryme Tyme vs Mike Bennett & Danny Jacks
Grisham and Coachman neglect to mention which Jobber is which. One Jobber has Maroon trunks the other Green. For arguments sake I'll say the Maroon guy who's starting with JTG is Bennett. JTG maneuvers out of a hammerlock with a side headlock then hits a shoulder tackle off the ropes. Following a JTG step over and two Bennett leapfrogs, Bennett breaks into a little dance mocking Cryme Tyme. JTG decks him with a punch then backbodydrops before showing Bennett how to bust a move. JTG lands a dropkick. Cryme Tyme take down Bennett with a double backelbow then hit a double elbowdrop. Shad covers for a nearfall then takes over with some knees to the head. Shad presses Bennett above his head, Bennett rakes the eyes to escape and tag out. Shad quickly recovers to land two shoulder tackles and a high hiptoss launch to Jacks after grabbing him by the throat. JTG gets in Jacks' face from the apron. Shad elbows Jacks then whips and hoists JTG over him resulting in a clothesline to Jacks. Jacks reverses off the ropes, JTG boots and clubs Jacks down. Jacks reverses JTG off the ropes again who stops to knock Bennett off the apron. JTG turns to get raked in the face by Jacks. JTG gets double teamed in the heel corner with stomps before Bennett chokes him with his boot. Bennett delivers a messy snapmare and applies a chinlock. JTG backelbows free, Bennett drives JTG into the Jobber corner. JTG blocks a Jacks punch and fights his way out of the corner before leapfrogging over Jacks and tagging out. Shad comes in with clotheslines galore. Shad rips his bib off, fires up, shoulder tackles both Jobbers and catches Jacks in a sidewalk slam. As Shad drops an elbow on Jacks, JTG clotheslines Bennett over the top rope. Cryme Tyme finish Jacks off with their samoan drop, rolling neckbreaker combo. Anyone who knows the name of that move feel free to drop me a line. Shad covers 1-2-3. Good squash match. Here Are Your Winners: CRYME TYME. I wonder when Cryme Tyme will get their Tag Title shot. Does anyone still remember they're the No 1 contenders?
Eugene vs Kenny Dykstra
Main Event and a rematch from last week. Coachman has given Kenny the Main Event birth so he can get a feel for it. Grisham warns Kenny not to underestimate Eugene. Like last week Eugene picks his nose before extending his hand to Kenny who refuses it again. Eugene again wipes his booger on his trunks. Eugene counters a Kenny wristlock and turns it into a neck tie. Eugene pretends Kenny is a motorbike as Kenny goes to the corner to break the hold. Kenny comes back with a boot, side headlock and two shoulder tackles. Eugene yanks Kenny down as he goes to run the ropes and scores nearfalls with a la mahistrol cradle, backslide and schoolboy. Eugene ducks a clothesline, goes into a ball then moves to avoid a Kenny elbowdrop. Eugene starts his ode to JYD with some headbutts but Kenny puts an end to the shenanigans by rolling out onto the apron. Kenny sidesteps a Eugene charge. As Eugene hangs out of the ring Kenny boots him to take control of the match. Kenny lands forearm drop shots, punches and stomps. Kenny taunts Eugene telling him to come on. Kenny Irish whips Eugene who falls to the mat. Following a nearfall, Kenny punches the head. Kenny goes for a suplex but Eugene blocks and hooks a small package 1-2-no. Kenny immediately levels Eugene with a clothesline for a nearfall. Eugene gets sent off the ropes into a flying elbow for another nearfall. Kenny drives fists into Eugene's shoulder before biting at it. Kenny stomps the chest then plays to the booing crowd. Eugene lands some head shots to the gut but Kenny kicks him in the chest. Eugene kicks Kenny in the back of the leg, Kenny immediately jumps on Eugene with punches to the head as Eugene does his best to cover up. After another nearfall it's chinlock time for Eugene. Eugene escapes with backelbows and punches but runs into a dropkick. Kenny connects with a fistdrop, elbow drop and forearm drop for yet another nearfall before going back to the chinlock. Eugene gets up, Kenny clubs the back and goes to ram Eugene's head into the corner. Surely he won't make the same mistake two weeks in a row? The answer is yes in a way as Eugene blocks and counters with ten head rams of his own. Eugene points at Kenny before landing a series of punches. Eugene sends Kenny off the ropes into a big boot. Eugene cups his hand to his ear and plays to the crowd but wastes too much time as he misses with a legdrop. Kenny hits a low dropkick to the face 1-2-kickout. Eugene reverses off the ropes, puts his head down, Kenny goes to boot but Eugene catches it, spins Kenny round, catching him in an airplane spin. Kenny elbows out of a Rock Bottom attempt. Eugene ducks a second elbow, lifts Kenny up who rolls back and falls to the mat clutching his knee in agony. Grisham informs us apparently Kenny's knee has buckled. Eugene comes over to Kenny showing his concern. As he goes to help Kenny up, Kenny hotshots Eugene across the top rope. Kenny's fooled everyone as his knee is fine. Kenny hits his unnamed swinging neckbreaker finisher for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: KENNY DYKSTRA. Better match than last week although some of Kenny's offense was boring. Nice to see Kenny racking up the wins on Heat with his new finisher. Now get him back onto Raw.
Grisham is clearly miffed at this result as he signs off and thanks us for watching to end the show.
Best Match: Eugene vs Kenny Dykstra.
Worst Match: Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Judas Young.
Thumbs in the middle from me as there was too much Raw filler for my liking. I prefer the four matches show format to three.
Until next weekend take care and have a good week. Shaun. Comments/praise/feedback/criticism/discussion points please direct to shaunmb1@hotmail.com.
