Welcome aboard. As WWE take a swing around Europe and my neck of the woods here's the last U.S based helping of Heat for a few weeks. We begin this week with......................

Cryme Tyme vs Brice Andrews & Mike Bennett
Nice reception for Cryme Tyme. Shad places his cap on the referee who disposes of it. Coachman and Grisham put over possibly the biggest WWE European tour ever. It's a gruelling schedule. The Job team are very alike (TNA's Eric Young comes to mind) but not identified. Both are in matching dark red trunks so a simple Jobber 1 and 2 will have to suffice. Grisham says Cryme Tyme are trying to climb the tag team ladder so their unused No 1 contendership looks like it's been discarded and forgotten. Coachman is mad at Cryme Tyme for going behind his back and asking honorary GM Michael Pena for a raise. Speaking of Pena where is he tonight as he was mixing it with the Heat crew on Raw? JTG gets the crowd going as the bell rings. JTG begins with a side headlock, shoulder tackle and hiptoss reversal. JTG gets reversed off the ropes but comes back with a drop down punch then an armwringer faceplant to Jobber 1. A boot to the head sends Jobber 1 into the Cryme corner. Following a JTG backelbow Shad elevates his partner into a clothesline on Jobber 1. Shad tosses Jobber 1 out of the corner. Jobber 2 runs into a Shad shoulder tackle. Shad scoops him up for some snake eyes in the corner followed by a running forearm. JTG tags back in but spends too long dancing on the middle rope allowing Jobber 1 to push him off. JTG turns to punch and ends up getting worked over a little in the Jobber corner before ducking and rolling free into a tag. Shad lands clotheslines galore before firing up. Shad press slams Jobber 2 to the floor before Jobber 1 gets the G9. Shad covers 1-2-3. The usual from Cryme Tyme who would now benefit from a tag team feud. Here Are Your Winners: CRYME TYME. Post match Cryme Tyme high five then pose in the corners.

Kenny Dykstra vs Val Venis
Time for match four in the series. Coachman predicts we'll be at match seven after the European tour and wants both men to move on. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more matches between the two. Kenny has more of a cocky persona to him this week. Val tosses his towel to the crowd before focusing on Kenny. Kenny gets the advantage with a hiptoss, armdrag and slam. After exchanging fake applause Val answers back with the same moveset. Val follows up with two running kneelifts and a side russian legsweep for a nearfall. Val lands some shots in the corner, Kenny reverses an Irish whip but charges into an elbow. Val blindly leaps to the second rope allowing Kenny to club the back and throw Val to the mat. Kenny scores nearfalls following shots to the back and a sidewalk slam. Kenny halts a Val fightback with clubs to the back and a hard Irish whip. After more shots to the back, Kenny stretches Val's back out across the ropes. Val lands punches and sends Kenny off the ropes into a backelbow. Val goes for a suplex but he can't lift Kenny who reverses then attacks the back again for another nearfall. Kenny applies a chinlock while pressing his knee into Val's back. Val starts to backelbow free so Kenny clubs the back and goes for a slam but Val slips behind and punches away. Val lands two hard Irish whips, a clothesline, backelbow, double axehandle sledge, backbodydrop and neckbreaker for a nearfall. Val gains further nearfalls with a sitout powerbomb and fisherman suplex with the latter coming after Val stops Kenny from going outside and catches his boot attempt. Val cinches in an indian deathlock (leg grapevine) in the middle of the ring. Kenny struggles before getting to the ropes. Val clubs the back then goes for a half nelson slam which Kenny blocks. Kenny backelbows free before shoving Val off the ropes. Val ducks under a clothesline attempt and counters into a crucifix pin attempt 1-2-Kenny rolls forward hooking the legs and the tights for the 1-2-3. Kenny steals another one to go 4-0 up. A really good match with a great story of Val trying hard to upset the rookie but failing. Val is really putting Kenny over in these series of matches. Here Is Your Winner: KENNY DYKSTRA. Post match Kenny rolls out selling Val's leg attack on his way up the ramp as Val looks on dumbfounded.

"The Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs Mike Edwards
Coachman says it's been a while since he's got to enjoy Masters' entrance obviously forgetting he was on last week. The hometown Jobber gets no response. Masters begins with clubs and punches before hanging Edwards up in the corner in a tree of woe position. Masters continues his attack with stomps and punches before the referee steps in to unhang Edwards. Masters delivers two Irish whips, a boot to the gut and a double underhook suplex. Masters places two stiff knees into the lower back before delivering a snapmare and another knee to the back. Masters drives Edwards into the corner before backing up and missing a charge. Edwards staggers Masters with a series of punches but can't whip him off the ropes. Edwards ducks under a clothesline attempt and has Masters reeling with a flying forearm. Masters catches a cross body attempt and delivers a backbreaker across the knee. Masters keeps ahold of Edwards who gets put back on his feet then quickly into the Master Lock. Edwards fades pretty quickly. Thankfully kept short. Now the Master Lock is broken Masters brings nothing to the table for me. Here Is Your Winner: "THE MASTERPIECE" CHRIS MASTERS. Post match the announcers put Masters over with Grisham saying Edwards is headed to the hospital and being local he knows where it is.

Eugene makes an appearance and starts firing T-shirts into the crowd. Coachman gets restless saying Eugene's cutting into the time of the show. At this point he goes silent with Grisham informing us Coachman is making a phone call. At that moment the Great Khali's music hits and Eugene turns around in fright. Coachman informs us since Khali was scheduled for the main event he asked him to come out a little early. Coachman says Khali agreed in his best Khali voice. Khali no-sells a Eugene T-shirt gun shot to the gut and boots him down. Khali throws Eugene to the corner to give him a backelbow. Khali brings Eugene out of the corner with a choke then unleashes the chop of doom to the head. Khali hoists Eugene up and nearly kills him with a vicious tree slam. Khali poses then leaves. Coachman decides we'll end the show here and he won't make Khali compete. A short and sweet Heat debut for The Great Khali. Thanks for stopping by. This segment would have worked better if Coachman had appeared on camera. Oh well it was something different by Heat standards.

Grisham signs off and thanks us for watching to end the show.

Best Match: Kenny Dykstra vs Val Venis.
Worst Match: Chris Masters vs Mike Edwards.

I'll be back next weekend when Heat comes to us from Milan Italy. Until then Ciao, Forza Azzurri.
