WWF Insurrextion Results
From: Earl's court in London, England Announcers: Michael Cole and Paul Heyman Backstage, Vince McMahon confronted William Regal about who changed the line-up for tonight's card. Regal told McMahon that Linda did. Linda confronted Vince and said she did it because the fans wanted to see it. Linda said that the main event of HHH and Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker in a handicap match was still on. Eddie Guerrero vs. Grandmaster Sexay Hardcore and Crash Holly (w/Molly Holly) vs. The Radicalz The Big Show came out to the ring to challenge Test for a match but said Test wouldn't come out because he has broken ribs and he's a coward. Test came out favoring his ribs (which he wasn't even doing at Backlash) and got destroyed by the Big Show. Show then challenged anyone in the back to fight him, and out came Bradshaw. The Big Show vs. Bradshaw Elimination Match: Edge and Christian vs. X-Factor vs. The Dudley Boys vs. The Hardy Boys Steven Richards and Ivory came out critising a local newspaper for publishing naked breasts of a woman in where children would see it. Richards then said he had permission from Commissioner Regal to censor the Women's Battle Royal. Lita, Trish Status and Jacqueline came out and attacked Ivory and stripped her down to her bra and panties. They also did the same to Richards, and Lita hit the moonsault for a big pop. 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle Queens Cup Match: William Regal vs. Chris Jericho Handicapped WWF Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin and HHH vs. The Undertaker As the show went off the air, The Undertaker rode up the ramp on his motorcycle to a big pop.

STEVEWEISER sent this report in I attended Insurrextion live at Earls Court, and I can drop you a few notes on what went down there... *The crowd popped huge for small things as we waited for the show to start, such as the house lights being turned on, a pyro base being moved etc. *There was no dark match. Lilian Garcia, Paul Heyman and Michael Cole came down (Garcia and Cole to pops, Heyman to about 51% heel heat), and the show started as the fans watching at home saw it. *I got on TV a few times, albeit from a large distance. Don't know about shots when wrestlers entered the ring, but in certain camera angles, I could see myself moving my signs about. Stupid children behind me claimed they couldn't see... they should have thought about that before they bought tiered seats behind a 6'4" fan! *I was right at the edge of a tier, right next to some stairs. Mainly patrolling that section was a sexy young female security guard who looked a lot like Tina from S Club 7, so when I wasn't trying to get myself on TV, I tried chatting her up half the time. Missed a lot of the four-way-dance tag throughout that, but she told me I looked sexy when I imitated Triple H's water spit entrance (I was even clad in HHH's trademark denim/leather jacket combo in honour of The Game). She knew nothing about wrestling though, so I turned my attentions to getting myself on TV again. *The crowd were surprisingly pro-E&C, not-so-surprisingly pro-Angle, HHH and Austin, and there were mixed reactions for William Regal. My section popped huge for him. During the Angle/Benoit match, whilst the crowd did their Benoit chant, we shouted Angle over them. Of the celebrities that were there, Eammon Holmes got 2-thirds heel heat, the crowd popped huge for Chris Tarrant and Franco Zola received heel heat from the non-Chelsea fans in the crowd (I support Arsenal, so count me in the people who booed him). *About five minutes after the show was done (nothing happened after the cameras turned off except that HHH and SCSA gave the crowd the finger), we saw everyone involved in the main event in their regular clothes leave the arena. We even popped huge for the McMahons. Stephanie looked at me and I think HHH had a small glance at the man who dressed just like him. The rest (UT, VKM, SCSA) walked on past without acknowledgement. A couple of minutes after they left, me and my people left through exactly the same exit (poorly guarded) and trailed a couple of blackened cars. All in all, it was a good experience live, probably looked better than it did on TV (I've seen some reactions and they weren't too positive). Why spent £14 to not enjoy it on TV when you can spent £50 and actually have a good night out? The one thing that sucked (apart from Big Show's mic work)? That the female security guard looked like Tina S Club instead of Rachel S Club!!!
Jim Avery from geocities.com/Mumbletaker sent this report in Only a few dozon people came for the PPV showing at WWFNY. The section with the stage was where the ppv was shown. The other half of the restaurant was cut off and the screens were showing reruns of the past weeks shows. I missed the opening of the show with Regal and Vince McMahon, but the jist was that Linda McMahon and Regal changed most of the matches on the show. In case I skip something or the sequence is wrong, bear in mind that I'm doing this from memory. Eddie Guererro pinned Grandmaster Sexay with a roll up (and his feet on the ropes) Decent opener with the UK crowd being really hot and the people in NY not really caring. Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn beat The Holly Brothers (that's what Micheal Cole called them...) via Three handed moongoose thing that Saturn uses as a finsher. This was changed from a six person tag to a regular tag when Terri complained that she couldn't find any wrestling gear in the country. Again the UK crowd was hot with the NY crowd getting into the match. We were all into the next few matches and segments. Big Show/Test match was cancelled. Show actually cut a good promo and called Test out so that he could raise Show's hand in victory. Oddly, they showed footage of Big Show beating on Test a couple weeks ago to explain why Test was injured. After the footage was shown, Cole mentioned that Test was beat up by HHH on Raw. Show attacked Test and, after a little trouble, hit the Final Cut on him. Show went to leave, but Bradshaw came out and they had a match. Decent match until the ending, when Test kicked a chair into Show's face and Bradshaw hit Show with the Clothesline from Hell. Show clearly had his foot on the rope while being pinned, but the ref and the annoucners didn't notice it. Great 4 team elimination match with the Hardys, X-Factor, E&C and the Dudleys. E&C sure do win a lot of tag matches. Why does the European Champ never defend his belt in Europe? X-Factor's starting to get over, or maybe it's just Aldo. After a Kurt Angle interview, Steven Richards and Ivory had a segment. Basically an excuse or a lot of T&A, not that I'm complaining. Great Benoit/Angle match. I was shocked that Benoit took 2 straight falls in this, but I guess Kurt saves face since he didn't have his medals. Medals that I hope he washes very soon considering where Benoit had them hidden... Decent Jericho/Regal match. One guy in NY went to sleep on the match, but everyone else was paying attention. The main event was good and had lots of crowd heat. UT's bleeding looked accidental, but other than that I couldn't find anything wrong with the match. Oh, except it for the spot when UT was suppose to go for the running ddt on Hunter, but instead stopped for a moment and then did a regular ddt. UT was also the only person that the NY crowd all rooted. Pretty good PPV. Much better than Backlash.
Vikram Sangar sent this report in As Insurrexion was going off the air, the ring was pelted with empty plastic bottles and cans a la WCW. Unfortunately Stephanie McMahon was hit by a foreign object and looked to be either cut badly or something may have injured her eye. She was quickly escorted by Triple H and Earl Hebner up the aisle. They made sure to cover Stephanie's face with their hands and quickly escorted her backstage. Austin stopped next to the Titan Tron, turned around and stuck his Middle fingers to the entire crowd left, right and centre. Triple H then came back out and this time stuck two fingers up at everyone. It was unclear whether they were playing as heels or due to Stephanie's possible injury. There was some confusion over the Main Event as it did not seem clear to the audience whether the Undertaker had become new champion by pinning Triple H. They were instances where crowd noise was pumped through the PA system in the Arena, including the Regal V Jericho match. Trailers of The Mummy 2 were shown after the event including a short interview with The Rock.
