To answer N.S' question, I would have had a run-in on Jarretts behalf, somehow got a chair involved from the run-in, but have Booker come back and win, probably with a submission. (I can't remember Booker ever using or winning with a submission hold up to that PPV, so I'd have had him use one if only to do something different).

I enjoyed watching that video of Russos explanation, "assuming" that he told the truth in the interview, of course. (I can buy into most of it, due to Hogan's well known history of doing that kind of thing... About the only part I couldn't buy into was Jarrett supposedly not knowing).

To memory, I'd give the entire PPV a high "C" grade. Overall I thought this ppv was one of Russos better ones. (to me, most of the ones during his era were D to F quality, mainly from a storyline perspective, which was made obvious by the match quality).

To me the best parts of the PPV were the Hogan/Russo stuff, which led to, IMO, the best match of the night, which was Jarret/Booker, and I say that even though I was hating Russo like many others did.

To me, Russo was very UN-Russo that night in the sense that he gave the fans what they wanted in a believable way, and I liked Russos (i think) one and only nod/homage to the way wrestling was before he got into the business:

1: He got heat on himself and Jarrett in a similar fashion to the way Heyman And Coulter do in the Federation nowadays.

2: Even though I doubt any of the fans in the building bought that Russo and Jarret weren't conspiring against Hogan, and his nonsensical match making of Jarrett/Booker, I think people were happy with it if only to cheer for someone who could possibly beat Jarrett and represent the fans in giving a universal double birded FU to Russo because fans hated him so much.

3: The entire thing felt real... and I think you could hear it in the crowd. It didn't feel like the usual garbage Russo has been known to dish out

Unfortunately, as good as the actual WHC match was, and as promising as I thought the storyline with Booker T as WHC could have been, it was killed off way too soon.
