Bishoff paces in his office, until a knock on the door leads Kane in, wearing more chest acne than ever. Bishoff compliments his match with Chris Benoit, but he’s had to name a new number one contender. Kane was angry, so Bishoff called him a professional to try and calm him. At that, Kane wrecked his office, though Bishoff escaped unscathed. The video opening took place afterwards. A six-man, elimination match between Evolution and Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Edge was announced as a main event. Jim Ross was in the ring, to address the city in the wake of the classic Hell in the Cell match from last night. HBK and HHH are physically incapable of wrestling, he announces, but they are present. JR asked them to the ring so the crowd can show its appreciation and put closure on the rivalry. Shawn entered, with his right hand wrapped. Hunter followed after, complete with standard post Pay-Per-View band-aid and the added bonus of a limp. Jim Ross asked the two to maintain themselves in the spirit for which they were invited. He lauded their match, and told them it was time for their feud to end. A handshake was requested. A loud “HBK” chant erupted as the two men tentatively readied to shake hands. Just before it was about to happen, Bishoff interrupted with an announcement regarding the new number one contender. Before he could announce it, Kane interrupted. Eric cleared out of the ring, so Kane kicked Shawn outside. Hunter and he stared down briefly, before HHH thought better of it and left the ring. Alone with his anger, Kane attacked a recovering Shawn Michaels with a steel chair. He ‘pilmanized’ Shawn’s throat, prompting HBK to spit copious amounts of blood from his mouth. Shawn did a stretcher job to sell what was a very overdone and obviously fake spot.

The paramedics were still attending to Shawn, while JR did his best impression of Jim Ross following the accident involving Owen Hart. This was the entire segment until the commercial break.

Last night, Trish won the Women’s Championship for the fifth time. Tonight, she and Tomko were in mixed tag team action versus Lita and Matt Hardy. Matt and Lita are not morning people. Matt and Lita enjoy margaritas. The women started things off, with Trish carrying Lita well. Tomko tagged in to man-handle Matt Hardy. And by Man-handle, I mean suck. He screwed up following down, and then stumbled across the ring after Matt gave a cross body that he was called to catch. It, in fact, dropped Matt against the ropes. He went for a running power slam, Davey Boy style, but Matt reversed it with a DDT. Lita has the match won, but Tomko brought it up. Matt took exception to that, using a clothesline to take the big man over the top and took him down with a pescado. This gave Lita the opportunity to counter a Stratusfaction and deliver her impacted DDT for the victory. Lita and Matt hardy defeated Tomko and Trish via pin fall.

In what remained of Bishoff’s office, Hunter came to shoot the breeze and ask about his number one contender spot. Eric announces he cannot give it to him until after he defeats the undefeated Eugene next week. Hunter gets the purpose, and does not have a problem with it. In the crowd was the cast of Joe Shmoe 2, whom were interviewed by Todd Grisham. The original Joe Shmoe is now in the cast, and he introduced the ladies. This led into a preview package for the program. Yes, this is what was on Monday Night Raw. I wonder how Matt is doing right now. Yeah, this went on forever. Zzzzzz…

Huh what I’m awake! Hurricane and Rosey challenged La Résistance for the Tag Titles in a Flag Match. Some stuff happened in the match, but I was busy to something other than watching. That list grew much larger last segment of course. I looked up in time to see Hurricane attempt an Eye of the Hurricane on the outside, but be pushed into the ring pole. Rosey was dominating, but when Sylvain fell on him Rob held Rosey’s feet for the cheap victory. La Résistance defeated Hurricane and Rosey via pin fall. After the match more time was wasted, first by Sylvain butchering the Canadian National Anthem and then by having a long vignette for the WWE Diva search.

Backstage, Lita was fiddling around with an EPT. That’s error proof test! Jericho was introduced for the Highlight Reel. His guest was also a winner at Badd Blood, Eugene. Jericho finds out that Eugene is a fan of his, so asks what his favorite Chris Jericho moment was. Eugene says it is when Jericho peed in William Regal’s Tea, something he did last week as well. Jericho mentions the number one contender match for next week against (Eugene’s favorite wrestler) Triple H. Jericho tries to warn Eugene about Hunter, prompting the entrance of all of Evolution. Eugene was ecstatic to see Hunter, who came baring a gift. The Game denied that Jericho’s accusations, claiming to be Eugene’s friend after all. He gives Eugene the gift of a Triple H hat, a Triple H tee-shirt, a picture to autograph and a tee-shirt that he wanted Eugene to autograph for him. A picture was requested, and taken. Triple H makes Eugene promise that if any one lies to him, to run and tell him so he can handle it. Eugene left with Regal, as happy as a clam. Jericho commended “Trip” for pulling one over Eugene’s eyes, which Hunter disputed. He claimed Eugene was his friend, and very briefly mentioned the six man main event. Backstage, Stacy Kiebler was looking for Lita to borrow some elbow pads. Lita was hiding the pregnancy test behind her back. Lita “confided” in Stacy that she was pregnant. She requested that she not to let Matt know yet, until she told him herself. Stacy acted happy (Bless the long-legged soul, she tries to act!) while Lita looked melancholy. Jerry Springer, here we come.

Wevv, the following sentence of comedy is for you. Stacy Kiebler needed to give her borrowed elbow pads a workout, having already given her knee pads some work earlier with me, and she brought Nidia’s breasts along for the ride. Yeah, I am never going to try and be funny again. Their opponents were Gail Kim and Molly. Stacy was in the ring for the vast majority of the match, playing the face in peril. Gail locked one of her submissions on, and got the submission victory. Gail Kim and Molly Holly defeated Nidia and Stacy Kiebler via submission. The Smackdown! Rebound! Aired next, detailing the events of last weeks show.

A video package detailing some of the Hell in the Cell was shown. Afterward, Jim Ross admitted tonight was a bad show in his usual way of declaring such things. They had another look at the show’s beginning, with Kane destroying first Bishoff’s office and then Shawn Michaels. They declared that his condition was reported as serious. The main event was announced to be next.

Triple H accompanied his stable to the ring. The faces entered separately. Jericho started the match, and would quickly face all three members of Evolution. He slapped Ric Flair when the Legend tried to take advantage, but was soon being overwhelmed by the numbers he was facing when Orton and Batista entered. Double and triple team maneuvers soon had the match out of control. Edge and benoit rushed in to toss all of Evolution outside, calling them back in as the show went to break.

Ric Flair was in the ring with the Heavyweight Champion. Benoit worked Flair over with chops and head butts, prompting more than one famous flop. Edge got the tag, and Ric took the advantage back with a thumb to the eye. Benoit and Batista took over, with Batista dominating. A vicious spine buster left Benoit in a bad way, and the big man of Evolution left both his partners lying when they tried to make a save. Flair came back in, and it was his turn to work over the champion for a while. Benoit kept fighting, prompting Orton and Batista to continue for Flair. Jericho got the tag, and was able to out work Batista briefly. A succession of clotheslines put all three members of the good guy team on their back until Jericho popped up for a running enziguri. Benoit knocked Evolution off the ring while Edge delivered a spear. Benoit followed with a flying head butt, and Jericho hit the lionsault for the three-count on Batista. Chris Jericho eliminated Batista. Orton came in, still relatively fresh to attack Jericho with a vicious, Earth-shattering, head lock. Jericho fought back, until he managed to tag Edge into the ring. Edge went on the attack on Randy, getting a near fall with a vertical suplex. Since that wasn’t enough, Edge delivered a super-plex on to Orton, to set up the spear. Triple H caught Edge’s foot as he was about to run off, allowing the tag to Flair. Luckily for Edge, Flair went to the top rope and that never works. Jericho got the tag for some extremely fast paced action. Orton interrupted a pin fall on Flair, so Benoit threw him over the top rope and followed him for a beating. Jericho turned Flair over into the Walls. Ric was tapping out, but Trip was distracting the referee allowing Orton to run back in and land the RKO on Jericho, so Flair could drape an arm onto Chris. Ric Flair eliminated Chris Jericho via pin fall. Already ten minutes into the overrun segment the show went to commercial.

I guess Spike owes them for the Joe Shmoe air time. They owe me too, since I had to watch it. Orton and Benoit were in action as we returned, with Orton raking Benoit’s eyes to allow a tag. The champion still maintained momentum, making Flair beg for mercy until he crawled mistakenly into Edge and got clocked. Orton was forced to enter, to deliver a vicious, Earth-shattering, rear chin lock onto Edge. Edge escaped, allowing Benoit to come in. Orton landed a knee to Benoit’s gut, to tag in a replenished Ric Flair. Stiff chops and shots from the two followed until Benoit turned Flair around for a pair of German Suplexes. Orton came in on a phantom tag, receiving a German of his own before being tossed out. Edge came in a house of fire, even landing a spear on Flair before his fire was quenched by an RKO. Edge was eliminated by Randy Orton. The champion was alone for only a short while, doing away with Orton long enough to lock on the cross face on Ric Flair for the submission! It was twenty after and now the Intercontinental Champion was alone with the Heavyweight Champion. Randy seemed to be in control, but Benoit came back and was locking the Sharpshooter on. Triple H came in to the break it up, as the referee had been knocked down somewhere in all this, but he received a German Suplex to end his hopes of interfering. He locked the sharpshooter on this time, and the referee recovered. Orton fought, bit and crawled for the ropes, but couldn’t make it. With Triple H trying to crawl to his feet just a yard away, Randy Orton submitted to the sharpshooter. Chris Benoit eliminated Randy Orton. Chris Benoit was the sole survivor of the six-man elimination match. The show ended at 11:26.

Mail:

Hey Rommel, what's up? My name's Tom and I love reading your articles. I don't want to sound like a stalker, but the more I read your articles, the more I see similarities between you and me. I'm a Republican (I loved the Reagan tribute. That was beautiful.), I can't think of a hotter Diva in the WWE today than Stacy (actually, scratch that, Lita's hotter), and I'd rather play Dungeons & Dragons than watch SmackDown! (Well, I've never played D&D, but you'd get the picture).
Anyway, I wrote that I had news in pro wrestling, and it has been getting some press around the my neck of the woods, the metro Detroit area. I don't know if you've heard of a semi-pro wrestler known as Vic Vengence. Vic's real name is Timothy William Berner. As I write, this man is wanted by the Sterling Heights Police Department, the USMS, the Michigan State Police, and the FBI on charges of murder, felony firearms, and bank robbery. Here's the scoop on him, on Friday, June 4th, Officer Mark Anthony Sawyers was in his patrol car when Brener, aka Vic Vengence, fired into the car and killed Sawyers.
Rommel, I see this has a terrible tragedy. Sawyers had only been with the Sterling Heights Police Department for 8 months after serving three years as a cop in Detroit. He is survived by a wife and 11-month-old daughter who will never really know her father. I findit terrible that Sawyers' murder has been confined to the Metro section of the local papers, as they are trying to decide whether the Piston's NBA Title run or Reagan's funeral should take up the entire front page (I don't mean to slander neither the Pistons or Reagan, it's just I'm upset about this crime.)
I would highly appreciate it if you could post this on LOP. Tomorrow, June 12, Berner will be profiled on America's Most Wanted at 9 PM on FOX. I'm hoping that people that there are LOP readers who might recognize Berner as Vic Vengence and maybe call in the tip the tip that locks away Berner. I thought you might want to know this since Berner if a former wrestler. If you need more info, the case can be researched at http://www.amw.com/site/thisweek/B/BernerTimothy/bernerindex.html I think it would there should be justice served for the Sawyers family, so I hope this creep is captured. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Tom

Tom,

This is a terrible situation but I thank you for bringing it to my attention. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Officer Sawyers. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Timothy William Berner I respectfully request you contact the authorities. If you are concerned about revealing your identity, I know they respond to anonymous calls.
