Val Venis vs Shawn Reynolds
Coachman puts over Val's success on the recent Europena tour and speculates it may be his year. Val deserves a push. The camera cuts away as Val dishes out the towel. Must have been an ugly one this week LOL. Val starts with an armwringer, shoulder thrusts and a wristlock. Reynolds retaliates with punches that send Val to the corner and down. Reynolds with a boot choke. Val with two clotheslines and a chop. Val hits two running kneelifts and a side russian legsweep for a one count. Val with a punch, chop and backelbow off the ropes.

I don't know whether Val was legit hurt here or whether he was just overselling. Reynolds was poor. He took his time to focus on a body part and there was way too much punching.
Johnny Nitro & Kenny Dykstra vs Cryme Tyme
Main Event time. The heels come out to their own music. Nitro sadly comes out without Melina. Dykstra looks happy to be teaming with Nitro. Cryme Tyme get the crowd going.

Shad covers and gets the 1-2-3 as JTG hooks Nitro's leg to prevent him breaking up the pin. Here Are Your Winners: CRYME TYME. Post match Shad lifts up JTG in celebration. Pretty good match. Nitro and Dykstra worked well together. They should become a regular team and feud with the Hardys once they're done with Cade and Murdoch.
Grisham wraps things up and thanks us for watching to end the show.
Best match: Johnny Nitro & Kenny Dykstra vs Cryme Tyme.
Worst match: Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Eugene vs Xavier & Scotty Charisma.
Show verdict: Thumbs up for the main event but thumbs down for the rest.
Even though he's been off TV since January it's a shame that former Heat alumni Rob Conway got released. He had some great matches on Heat and I wish him well for the future. I'll be back next weekend with Heat and my picks for Judgment Day. Until then have a good week. Shaun.
