Haas pins Crazy with a German suplex bridge, and Cade and Murdoch are next to arrive.

The Kemper Arena obviously has a secret portal to Bizarro World, because Cade and Murdoch are being cheered against TWGTT here.

I spoke too soon, now the crowd have given up caring, and this match is playing out to silence.

Haas reminds me of late 90s Billy Gunn these days, for some reason.
Haas nails Murdoch with a flapjack and locks in the Haas of Pain. Cade with an axe-handle on Haas and TWGTT are history. Next team out is.... OH MY FUCKING GOD. Demolition? WTF? |

April, May, June, July AND August Fool's.
Far from the Demos, we actually get Cryme Tyme and methinks this is the last team in the match. In fact, Lawler has just confirmed that. I take Cryme Tyme for the duke, unless TGWTT cost them the win somehow. |

Didn't Rikishi win with a splash off the top of the cage?

Hmm, I was going to say it must be pretty weird for these guys, wrestling in the same spot that Owen Hart plummeted to his death, but then when you think about it, there's hardly anyone left who was actually around back in those days.

Cryme Tyme hit their finisher, whatever it is called, and JTG and Shad Gaspard win the Tag Team Turmoil. The Cryminals will now get a World tag team championship match in the near future.

Vince McMahon and Jonathon Coachman backstage, now.
McMahon is talking about Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell again. I read that a McMahon vs Trump feud may be in the works. Vince reckons the best way to resolve the Trump/O'Donnell feud is with physical abuse. Vince wants Donald Trump vs Rosie O'Donnell on Raw! He says he is going to make it happen. Coach says that Vince's "You're Fired!" is the greatest catchphrase of all time. Ron Simmons arrives with one word: "Damn!" |

Next up we have Kenny Dykstra vs Ric Flair.
Kenny arrives in a 'Nature Boy'-style robe. I called that earlier, when they discussed Kenny had a surprise for Flair in his gear bag in a WWE.com article. |

Kenny says that he is 37-years Flair's junior. Everyone is apparently tired of seeing old man Ric get beaten down time after time.
Flair won several of his World championships before Dykstra was even born. The bell rings, the match starts... |

Dykstra has a world of potential and a naturally cocky and dislikable heel character, but I do think he shouldn't be showing up in WWE for another 2 years at least. Too much, too soon. Even if he gets over big time and becomes a main eventer, he will be overexposed and a tired act before he's even 30yrs old.
It is very rare that even a very popular/hated wrestler can maintain his heat for over a decade! Look at some of the biggest names in wrestling history, they still faded out within ten years of making it big. |

This is your basic, 21st century Flair match so far, but the crowd is into it, which always makes a match better.
Kenny attempts a figure-four, but Flair rolls him up for a near 3-count. Flair definitely overuses that chop. He's going up top. Not usually a good move for Flair, and as standard, Flair is thrown across the ring. |

Flair is going to work on the legs of Kenny now, and hooks in the figure-four leglock. Kenny is hanging on, and the crowd is going nuts.
Kenny's shoulders down for a 2-count, but Kenny is still holding on. Flair with a slap to the face whilst still locked in the leglock, and another 2 count, and Kenny reaches the ropes. |

Kenny hits Ric with a low blow as referee Mike Chioda is distracted and a small package by Dykstra to take the victory.

Well my tipsters is going to suck, at least Hardy won. So what all has happened, Hardy retains, Cryme Tyme won a tag match, and now its flair and kneey? Hopefully flair kicks his ass with the fig-4

The makes Kenny 3-0 against the Nature Boy is their recent matches (although I'm sure Flair has beaten Kenny in the past.)
Backstage, Nitro is telling Melina to go call Joey Mercury and tell him that they must make the Hardy Boyz pay. As she leaves, Melina bumps into Victoria who tells her that the reason Melina is not on her checklist is because she believes the two ladies should form a team and, if so, Melina will get first shot at the Women's title when Victoria wins it. |

The rundown so far:
1. Intercontinental champion Jeff Hardy defeated Johnny Nitro by door escape in a Cage match. 2. Cryme Tyme outlasted Cade/Murdoch, Duggan/Super Crazy, The World's Greatest Tag Team and The Highlanders in a Tag Team Turmoil match for a World Tag Team championship title match. 3. Kenny Dykstra pinned Ric Flair after a low blow. We are now kicking off the WWE Women's Championship match, as Lawler declares that he LOVES women's matches, and that fans all around the world do too. Well, King, I don't. |

The most notable part of this match so far is the abysmal commentary by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. These guys need replacing.

Melina arrives to support Victoria but gets nailed by her real-life nemesis Mickie James.
Melina stops Mickie hitting her impaler DDT, and Victoria reverses it into a Widow's Peak. Candice and Maria hit ringside to removes Melina, and Mickie slips out of the Widow's Peak and pins Victoria with the DDT. |

Man I don't think any of us predicted this crap, so i doubt any advantage is gained by not calling this match.

The DX music hits to a pretty lukewarm response, which only gets slightly louder when they arrive on the stage. Interesting.

Hmm. I've gotten through a tube of Revels, a bag of jelly beans and half a pack of cigarettes since this show started, and it's not even 90 mins yet!
