King of the Ring 2000
Lots of signs in Boston. Ha, someone brought an XFL sign.
Nothing like that hip hop music to kick things off.
Rikishi vs. Chris Benoit
Benoit comes out slugging, but Rikishi just knocks him down. Benoit goes right into the stairs.
Now Benoit wants to try a suplex, he's never gonna get Rikishi. OH wait, he does, he german suplexes the big guy. Benoit with some chops now, WOOOOOO.
Crippler crossface already on, but Rikishi's right by the ropes and he grabs it. Benoit snaps and grabs a chair to beat up Rikishi. He's DQed, but he gets in a few more shots. And another crossface.
Linda wanted to confront Vince earlier. She can rile him up.
Time for Mamacita and Latino Heat.
And Val's thing is weirdly upbeat now, almost like they mixed his music with Al Snow's. Val is also with Trish Stratus now.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Val Venis
Val's the bigger guy, but he's whipped to the corner and dropkicked down. Val's trying some chops and both guys tumble outside. Guerrero with his own chops. WOOO.
Suplex from the top by Guerrero. Now he gets the ab stretcher on, and he wisely doesn't roll far enough to put his shoulders down.
The crowd wants puppies in this match. Lawler's excited for an upcoming evening gown match.
Powerbomb countered into a hurricanrana by Guerrero. Suplex and he goes up for frog splash. Val rolls away and then hits a spinebuster. He wants the moneyshot and falls onto knees.
Val almost gets a cover with his feet on the ropes, Tim White needs to pay more attention. Hurricanrana from the top and Trish distracts the ref. Chyna attacks Trish.
Val and Chyna are fighting now, Guerrero with a rollup and Val kicks out. Val with a fisherman suplex and somehow gets a win here.
Pat Patterson is trying on dresses, oh god.
Crash vs. Bull Buchanan
Bull keeps tossing Crash out of the ring and Crash keeps running back in. Bull Buchanan seems to be the most generic character in matches these days, how does he keep ending up on every PPV event?
After a suplex, they go outside the ring. Bull with some punches, then they roll back in for some reason.
JR's still going on about Crash/Elroy Jetson? Crash with a surprise inside cradle, two count. Crash's face hits the mat, but he rolls away from the scissor kick. Crash with a pin and he runs backstage before the cameras can even focus on him.
Vince wants to confront his wife about all the face moves he does. Marital issues.
