Dear god, this PPV is hyping up Test. Go Rob Van Dam, kick his damn ass!
Chris Jericho Vs. Rob Van Dam
Break the walls against one of a kind here. Rob Van Dam can own crowds like few others.
Loads of grappling early on. Kicks by RVD and there's still wrestling to establish wrist control. Jericho knocks him down, they're running the ropes a lot.
Double dropkick and they're mirroring their moves. This leads us to the RVD taunt. RVD's legdrop isn't enough.
You can hear some E-C-Dub chants. Jericho misses the springboard dropkick. RVD can fly and that's suicidal. RVD climbs the top rope and it's not a dropkick but a kick.
Jericho uses the ref as prop to hit the ropes. RVD falls and Jericho goes for the superplex. Shoulders down and a kickout. Jericho sucks! Jericho sucks!
Clothesline and a lateral press on RVD isn't enough. Jericho's exposing the top turnbuckle. ROLLUP! REF YOU SLOW! Punch by Van Dam, Jericho drives him to the canvas.
Time to use the ropes to choke him and now choke him with tape! I think everyone wants to face Test in the finals. Jericho crashing into the post after RVD sidesteps him.
More hard shots and a spinning heel kick. Gotta love those and Van Dam's keeping his legs up. Springboard kick. Another cover and another kickout.
Jericho slides and uses his speed to land an enziguri. Suplex and Jericho came close there. RVD's a big fella.
SPLIT LEGGED MOONSAULT! The match continues. Jericho wants to end it with the walls, reversal by Van Dam and Jericho has to kickout fast.
Slingshot and Jericho lands on the ropes he jumps into a kick. Jericho trying to pin using the ropes, doesn't work. BULLDOG! LIONSAULT MISSES! WALKS INTO A KICK!
FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH MISSES! LIONSAULT! INEFFECTIVE! Lawler's impressed, the crowd loves RVD. RVD may have wanted a rana, but Jericho applies the walls, too close to the ropes though.
Jericho smacks Van Dam's head into the post and he falls on the ropes. THERE'S THE FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! Rob Van Dam will be competing to become the King of the Ring.
Van Dam wants to wrestle Godzilla, so Jericho attacks him from behind.
THIS IS A TEST! You can almost hear Nee crying in the background.
Test Vs. Brock Lesnar
Brock's theme changed again, this one sounds badass as hell. Elbow tie up and Test is not backing down. Test is finally cornered and Brock's shoulder charges are shattering those ribs.
I think the crowd's chanting Goldberg. big clothesline by Test and he wanted the boot. Lesnar bails from the ring and consults Paul Heyman. Test still has the upper hand and he's going all out with those elbows.
Stomps on Brock, he's showing a lot of energy for once. He stops a rushing Lesnar with an elbow. Big Spinebuster and several elbow drops by Brock Lesnar. Huge irish whip into the corner.
Big strikes and Test is on the end of a slam that looks totally like the olympic slam. Backbreaker by Lesnar, Test gets up and starts to keep punching. Power Slam!
SIDEWALK SLAM BY TEST! This must be the best Test match up to till now. Test is trying to finish this off with a pump handle slam. Brock showing his agility. THERE IT IS PUMP HANDLE SLAM! Test kicks out.
Heyman looks worried. Powerbomb misses, BIG BOOT! HOLY MOLY TEST IS GOING TO WIN! NO BROCK KICKS OUT! Heyman distracts test F5! Lesnar wins it. Man if Test can make you look vulnerable then RVD should have no problem beating you.
