CHICAGO CARNAGE POST-MATCH REPORT: THE ROAD TO RALEIGH BEGINS

Yo! The smoke hasn’t even cleared from the Allstate Arena. Chicago just witnessed a night that changed the hierarchy of the WWF forever. While the “Vocal Minority” is still arguing over the safety of the Cell, the “Mafia” is already looking at the August 27th date in Raleigh.

Forget the rumors you heard—here is the official fallout and the road ahead.

[[ THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT SITUATION: THE FINAL FOUR ]]

The Millennium Light Heavyweight Tournament is down to the wire. Despite some fans thinking we’d have a champion by now, the field is still wide open. We have four titans left, and the brackets for the semi-finals are set for next week:

1. Kurt Angle vs. The Prototype (John Cena): After his controversial “tap” against Shane in the UFC match, Angle is in a blind rage. He has to cut weight to 220 to face the “Perfect Machine.” Prototype is looking to prove that UPW power beats Olympic technique.

2. Shawn Michaels vs. Rob Van Dam: The match the underground has been begging for. HBK proved he can handle “Martial Artists” like Seagal; now he has to handle the “Anti-Gravity” style of RVD.

The Finals will be held at SummerSlam on August 27th to crown the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion.

[[ THE SUMMERSLAM 2000 FIGHT CARD (PRELIMINARY) ]]

1. THE OPENER: UFC WORLD TITLE FIGHT

Royce Gracie (C) vs. Ken Shamrock (Trilogy)

• The Beef: Shamrock is demanding a restart after the Chicago “Boring” finish. This will be the definitive rubber match under pure UFC rules.

2. TAG TEAM EXHIBITION: THE FIRST OF ITS KIND

The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Sagat & Ken Masters

• The Vibe: A “Truce” has been signed. The WWF’s two biggest icons are teaming up to stop the “World Warrior” invasion. This will be the first tag match in WWF history to feature Street Fighters.

3. BMF CHAMPIONSHIP: THE KNOCKOUT SPECIAL

Kimbo Slice vs. Butterbean

• The Vibe: Kimbo is 3-0 after destroying Zulu Jr., but the “Mafia” just signed the baddest man in boxing. This is for the BMF Belt. No wrestling allowed.

4. CO-MAIN: USA TITLE #1 CONTENDER FINALS

Ted DiBiase vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage

• The Twist: The Undertaker has officially abandoned this tournament! Taker told the board he doesn’t want the gold; he wants Mick Foley’s career. This leaves the “Million Dollar Man” (who just bought his way past Bischoff) to face the “Macho Man” for the right to challenge Hulk Hogan for the USA Belt.

5. MAIN EVENT: THE INTERCONTINENTAL FINALS

Andre The Giant vs. Hulk Hogan

• The Stakes: The tournament that started in January concludes. The Intercontinental Belt is on the line in a clash of the two most legendary names in the sport.

Taker leaving the tournament?! ⚱️ That’s cold. He’d rather hunt Foley than be the USA Champion. And Prototype vs Angle is going to be a shoot-fight, I’m calling it now. Angle is gonna try to break that kid’s ankle for real.

  HBK vs RVD is the real main event for me. 🌟 If Shawn is 90s-peak, he wins. If he’s “Retired Shawn,” RVD 4:20 is gonna splash him into the front row. And no way Prototype makes 220 lbs. He’s a tank!

Sagat and Ken Masters as a tag team? 🐯🕶️ I bet Ken is just using Sagat to protect his business interests in the WWF. If Austin hits a Stunner on Ken, the “Street Fighter” era might end before it starts.

ANDRE VS HOGAN!! 🏆 It’s like 1987 all over again but in the year 2000. I don’t care about the UFC rules, I want to see the Leg Drop on the Giant one more time! 👊😤

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m tracking the weight-ins for the Light Heavyweight semis. If Prototype misses weight, word is the “Mafia” might sub in a mystery flyer from the Philippines. Keep your eyes on the scale! ]]
