February 28, 2004

Hello again everyone, and welcome to the VELOCITY REPORT! I'm feeling pretty good today, mainly because a urologist told me that what I thought was a lump was really just a part of my body. Not only was I relieved, I was also embarrassed(The one body part I should care alot about, I know the least about). I'm such a nerd. Well, enough about me, lets get to the good stuff.

The show starts with a video package of Kurt Angle saying that He will explain why He beat up Eddie Guerrero. This was from last Thursday night.

Tajiri w/Sakoda and Akio Vs. Paul London
The match starts with some tie-ups and quick takedowns from both men. London gets the upperhand when he gives Tajiri a dropkick stomp to the back. Tajiri tries to counter London with a hiptoss, but London bounces off the ropes, and gives Tajiri 2 arm drags. Tajiri gets out of an armlock and whips London into the corner, but London leaps over Tajiri and rolls him up with a sunset flip. Before the count, Tajiri rolls out of the move and has London covered for 2 nearfalls. After letting go of the hold, Tajiri STIFF kicks London's knee. Tajiri and London battle for a bit in the corner until Tajiri knocks London off the top rope. Tajiri then distracts the ref, allowing Akio and Sakoda to attack London's knee. Tajiri goes for the cover, but only gets 2. Tajiri continues to work the knee with kicks and a leglock. With the crowd chanting, "USA, USA", London is able to get to the ropes. Unfortunately, Tajiri just pulls London back to the middle of the ring. London kicks Tajiri in the face to break the leglock, and after being picked up by Tajiri, London hits a SWEET dropsault. Tajiri is up first, and he continues to work over London's knee. Tajiri goes for his handspring back elbow, but London counters it by giving Tajiri a flying elbow to the back. He covers, but only gets 2. Tajiri grabs London's injured leg, but London knocks him off with an enziguiri. London goes for the cover, but again gets 2. London whips Tajiri to the corner, but Tajiri kicks him, and attempts the tarantula. London counter this by grabbing Tajiri's legs, and dropping him face first. London, obviously injured, covers, but gets 2. London hooks Tajiri's arms from behind, but Tajiri kicks his knee, sending him to the ring apron. London knocks Tajiri down with a forearm, kicks Akio off the apron, and jumps off the apron, onto the second rope(in the ring), and goes for a springboard moonsault. Tajiri moves out of the way, but London lands on his feet, which tweaks his injured knee. Tajiri dropkicks London's knee, and hits a HARD buzzsaw kick for the win.

Winner Via Pinfall: Tajiri w/Sakoda and Akio

Demott's Turning Point: Tajiri distracting the ref, allowing Akio and Sakoda to work over London's knee.

Atrain brutalizes Shannon with some Vader-like punches, but Shannon is able to give Atrain some forearm smashes to the face. Shannon then drop toe holds Atrain face first into the second rope turnbuckle, punches him a bit, and reverses out of an attempted Deraliuer into a sunset flip for a 2 count.

Commercial Break

Back from the break, and the situation involing Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero from this past Thursday is shown. Eddie finds Angle backstage, and is ready to beat him up, but accidentally knocks Paul Heyman into Dawn Marie. Eddie, obviously concerned, is ordered to leave the arena by a furious Paul Heyman. Security, who were protecting Angle, escorts him out. Later in the night, Angle proclaims that he beat Eddie up because he is a disgrace to the title. He said that since Eddie is a recovering drug addict, he is not the best representation for the WWE and America. Angle says that he will make the world a better place, and will become the champion everyone can be proud of. Once Angle is done, Eddie comes into the ring through the crowd, and beats on Angle. Paul Heyman sends police out to the ring, and has Eddie arrested. While Eddie is about to be driven away, Angle yells at Eddie, saying that he is nothing, and that he is an embarassment to the title.

VIEW FROM THE SEAT

- As the GM of Velocity, I'd like to say I was very impressed with all of the wrestlers tonight. Matt/John and Holly/Jordan really delivered as teams, A-Train showed his Big Van Vader side, and Paul London continues to impress me.

- Not too many people know this, but Raw next week will NOT be in Atlanta as advertised. The arena that it will be broadcasted from, the Gwinnett Civic Center Arena, is in Duluth,Ga. Duluth is about 30-60 minutes away from Atlanta(If I remember correctly. I used to live in Lawrenceville,Ga). Also, Atlanta is in Fulton County, not Gwinnett County, which is where the arena is. I wonder why they won't be at the bigger Phillips Arena, which is actually in Atlanta.

- The storylines going in to Wrestlemania are really starting to heat up. I love this time of year!

- In your opinion, what was the WORST WWE PPV ever? Send me your votes, and I'll post the unlucky winner next week

- I want to thank the writer of the LOP Column Ridin with the Bossman for complimenting me in his latest edition. Thanks again, man.

- I'm gonna try and buy some Ring of Honor DVD's this week. Based on what I've read, this group is a must see for wrestling fans everywhere!

- I was at the movies this past week and caught a 5 minute peak at The Passion of The Christ. This movie is, based on what I saw, not for the weak of heart. I almost cried while standing in the aisle. The scene was so brutal, I had to walk out and go see the movie that I had really gone to the theater to see, EURO-TRIP! By the way, I think that THE PASSION speaks to everyone, not just Christians.

- If the speculation about Ric Flair's iminent retirement is true, who should he face in his final match? I would like for him to put his Nature Boy moniker on the line, just like how Buddy Rogers put it on the line against Flair decades' ago. Who should he face in his last match? Send me your thoughts.

Well, that's just my view. I hope yall enjoyed the report. If you have any information, comments, hatemail, pictures of Harvey Whippleman in a thong, or just wanna rap, send your feedback to Jaba4017@aol.com Please type " Wrestling " in the subject, as I get lots of email. Be sure to take care of each other, and join me again next week, as we continue to travel down.........................THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA!
