SURVIVOR SERIES 2026: LIVE FROM KANSAS CITY

Posted on by Chinito Henson

[[ THE OPENING BROADCAST ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: Welcome to the most chaotic night in the history of combat sports! We are live from a sold-out Kemper Arena. Tonight, the “Holy Grail”—the Undisputed Wrestling Championship—will be crowned. But Larry, Lennox, before we even get to the ring, the landscape has been leveled by medical pull-outs and backstage violence.

LARRY MERCHANT: It’s a disgrace, Jim. I’ve covered boxing for fifty years, and I’ve never seen a “sanctioned” event dissolve into this kind of anarchy. First, the Boxing Team—De La Hoya, Butterbean, and Naseem were ready. They were in the locker room. But Rey Mercer? Not cleared. Again. The “Gonzaga” doctors are treating these boxers like they’re made of glass.

LENNOX LEWIS: (Nodding) To be fair, Larry, if the doctors see a neurological risk, they have to pull him. But it looks bad when you have Gen, a man who is literally facing his final days, stepping into the ring against a 30-year-old powerhouse like the Ultimate Warrior. If a dying man can find the courage to fight, why can’t the Boxing Syndicate find a fourth man? It makes the sweet science look… well, not so sweet tonight.

LARRY MERCHANT: They aren’t making excuses, Lennox; they’re being marginalized! But what just happened backstage? That wasn’t sport. That was a street brawl.

[[ BACKSTAGE: THE TRUTH REVEALED ]]

MICHAEL COLE: I’m standing here with The Rock, who was forced out of tonight’s UWC Title match due to a “training injury.” Rock, the world wants to know—what really happened in that camp?

THE ROCK: (Leaning in, eyes intense) What happened? The Rock will tell you exactly what happened. Two cowards, two bottom-feeders crept into The Rock’s camp wearing masks. They attacked The Rock from behind. But The Rock is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, and even blindsided, The Rock landed two massive right hands. I knew those eyes, Cole. I knew it was X-Pac and Scott Hall—Triple H’s little lapdogs!

THE ROCK: (Turning toward the locker room door) Triple H is jealous! He’s been ducking elite fighters, fighting old men and his own buddies while The Rock was out here being the #2 Contender! It’s not The Rock’s fault that Triple H isn’t a contender. It’s not The Rock’s fault that Hunter is a coward!

[Suddenly, TRIPLE H bursts out of the locker room, fuming. X-PAC and SCOTT HALL follow behind, wearing dark sunglasses.]

TRIPLE H: You want to talk about ducking? You’re the one sitting out the biggest night in history with a “bruised ego,” Rock!

[The Rock steps up, reaching for Hall’s sunglasses, but STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN suddenly appears from the shadows. Austin doesn’t say a word—he reaches out and rips the glasses off Hall and X-Pac himself.]

MICHAEL COLE: Oh my! Look at their eyes! Both Hall and X-Pac have massive black eyes! The Rock was telling the truth!

[A massive brawl erupts. Austin, Triple H, The Rock, and the “Kliq” are tearing the hallway apart. Security is useless until VINCE MCMAHON and the Board of Directors storm in with police.]

VINCE MCMAHON: STOP IT! THAT IS IT! Triple H… Austin… you’re OUT! You want to act like thugs? You’re GONE from the WarGames! Get them out of my building!

[[ THE COMMENTARY REACTION ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: I am in total shock. Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin have been pulled from the WarGames!

LARRY MERCHANT: (Scoffing) Oh, Jim, please. Open your eyes. This is the ugly part of pro-wrestling. In boxing or the UFC, a backstage brawl leads to a lawsuit or a suspension of a license, but the fight usually goes on because of the money.

LARRY MERCHANT: Vince isn’t suspending them for “conduct.” He’s using this brawl as an excuse to protect his rising stars! He saw Zangief demolish the Sumo world and two pro-wrestlers in three weeks. He’s terrified that his “Cerebral Assassin” and his “Rattlesnake” were going to get their careers ended inside that cage by the Russian. He’s hiding them!

[[ THE UPDATED WARGAMES SQUAD ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: Here is the emergency update for the WarGames:

  • TEAM WRESTLER: The Big Show, X-Pac, Farooq, and Kane.

  • TEAM STREET FIGHTER: Ken, Sagat, Zangief, and Blanka. (Guile has elected to sit out).

[[ LOCKER ROOM INTERVIEW: TEAM STREET FIGHTER ]]

JOE ROGAN: I’m here with the Captain of the Street Fighters, Guile. Major, the Wrestling team just lost their two biggest stars. What’s your reaction to this chaos?

GUILE: (Standing stoically, arms crossed) It’s a classic military tactic, Joe. “Deception.” Triple H and Vince are still trying to figure out our ceiling. After Zangief’s warm-up bouts, they realized they couldn’t win a fair fight. The Rock gave them an excuse, and Triple H capitalized on it to save his own skin. He’s not the “Cerebral Assassin” for nothing—he’s a master of tactical retreat.

JOE ROGAN: So why are you sitting out?

GUILE: I’m the commander. I don’t need to be in the trenches to win this battle. I’m going to sit back and observe. I have total confidence that Ken, Sagat, Zangief, and Blanka can dismantle whatever “replacements” Vince throws at them. The mission doesn’t change. We came here to prove the ring is obsolete. Tonight, the cage proves it for us.

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The WarGames has shifted from a “Star-Studded” affair to a “Survival” mission for the Wrestlers. With Kane and Big Show in the mix, it’s a battle of pure monsters! ]]

SURVIVOR SERIES 2000: POST-MATCH PART 1

Posted on by Chinito Henson

MATCH: Ultimate Warrior vs. Gen RESULT: Ultimate Warrior via Pinfall (12:44)

[[ IN-RING INTERVIEW: JOE ROGAN ]]

JOE ROGAN: (Standing with the Ultimate Warrior, who is still breathing heavily, face paint smeared with sweat) I’m here with the winner, the Ultimate Warrior! Warrior, a lot of people looked at the age gap here—the fact that Gen is an underground relic—and expected a two-minute squash. But that was a tactical war. He had you in some positions we’ve never seen you in. How did you survive the technical prowess of the “Old Master”?

ULTIMATE WARRIOR: (Snarling, chest heaving) Joe Rogan! The heavens do not count the years! They only count the WILL! Gen… he is a ghost from a time when men fought for breath, not for belts! His hands are like ice, but my blood… my blood is the FIRE OF DESTINY! He reached for my soul, but he found only the POWER OF THE WARRIORS!

JOE ROGAN: (Turning to Gen, who is being helped up by officials, looking remarkably calm despite the loss) Gen, you’re ranked #21 in the world for a reason. Tonight, you proved that age and illness are just variables. You had the Warrior on the ropes with those pressure-point strikes early on. Do you feel that tonight was a “passing of the torch,” or do you still have more names on your list?

GEN: (Voice raspy but steady) The Warrior has strength… but he has no silence. I came to see if the “modern era” had found a way to defeat time. He didn’t defeat time tonight. He only defeated a man. My list… is not yet empty.

[[ RINGSIDE: THE HBO BOXING DESK ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: A fascinating start to the evening here in Kansas City. The Ultimate Warrior moves to 3-1, but Larry, it wasn’t the blowout the Vegas odds suggested.

LARRY MERCHANT: (Adjusting his glasses, looking unimpressed) Jim, it was a classic case of a young, strong guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing against an old, skilled guy who can’t do what he knows. Gen is a master—he’s a philosopher of violence. If he was thirty years younger, the Ultimate Warrior would be a stain on the mat right now. But in this “sport,” if you can call it that, eventually the muscles win out over the mind. It’s the tragedy of the aging athlete.

LENNOX LEWIS: I have to disagree slightly, Larry. Gen’s defense was brilliant. He was parrying power shots that would have knocked out a Heavyweight. But you saw the finish—the Warrior just overwhelmed him with pure physical volume. In boxing, we call that “bullying the vet.” It’s not pretty, but it’s effective. Warrior showed he can take a punch, but he still lacks the technical IQ to be Top 10.

JIM LAMPLEY: Speaking of Top 10 aspirations, we move from the “Old World” vs. “New World” to a battle of two icons trying to reclaim their glory. Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage.

LARRY MERCHANT: This is where the night gets serious, Jim. We’re talking about the Heavyweight division—the “Shark Tank.” Bret Hart is 32, a technical wizard, but he’s coming off a loss to Yokozuna. Savage is 37, and frankly, he looks like a man who knows his clock is ticking.

LENNOX LEWIS: The footwork is going to be the key here. Bret is the “Excellence of Execution,” he’s going to try to chop Savage down, take out the legs. Savage is erratic, he’s explosive. If Savage can’t catch Bret early with that diving elbow, I think the Hitman’s youth and that Sharpshooter are going to be too much.

LARRY MERCHANT: It’s a desperation match, Lennox. Neither of these men can afford to be 1-2 or 2-2 in this climate. Especially with Zangief and the Street Fighters lurking. If you lose tonight, you’re not just losing a match—you’re losing your relevance.

JIM LAMPLEY: The Heavyweight hunt continues. Hart. Savage. Next!

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The “Gonzaga” software actually favored Gen slightly in technical points, but the Warrior’s “Damage Dealt” metric was through the roof. If Bret Hart wins this next one, he’ll be just one big win away from a Top 5 Heavyweight ranking. ]]

MATCH: Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage RESULT: Randy Savage via Count-Out (18:12)

[[ RINGSIDE INTERVIEW: JOE ROGAN ]]

JOE ROGAN: (Standing near the wreckage of the Spanish announce table) I’m here with the victor, the “Macho Man” Randy Savage! Randy, that was one of the most grueling, back-and-forth Heavyweight battles we’ve seen all year. Bret was dissecting you for fifteen minutes—he literally had you on this table ready to end your career. How did you find the spatial awareness to counter him twice in that high-stress environment?

RANDY SAVAGE: (Voice raspy, eyes wild, gasping for air) Dig it, Joe Rogan! The madness… it’s a living thing! Bret Hart thought he had the Excellence of Execution, but he forgot about the ELEVATION OF ADRENALINE! He tried to put me through the wood, yeah, but the Macho Man doesn’t go down for the count when the stars are aligned! I felt the heat, I felt the pressure, and I turned the table on him! A win is a win, and the Macho Man is climbing that P4P mountain, OH YEAH!

JOE ROGAN: (Turning to Bret Hart, who is being attended to by trainers, looking devastated) Bret, you had this match in the palm of your hand. You dominated the technical exchanges, but the decision to go for the announce table finish seemed to backfire. Do you regret trying to “insult” Savage with that move instead of staying in the ring and working for the Sharpshooter?

BRET HART: (Wiping blood from his lip, shaking his head) It wasn’t about the insult, Joe. It was about finishing a dangerous man. I underestimated how much “Macho” was left in the tank. I had him beat… I know I had him beat. Losing by count-out on the floor? That’s a bitter pill. I came here to prove I’m Top 5. Tonight, I just proved that in this sport, one mistake at ringside is all it takes to lose everything.

[[ RINGSIDE: THE HBO BOXING DESK ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: A heart-stopping finish to a technical masterpiece. Randy Savage survives, moving his record to 2-1, but Larry, a count-out win in a match this big… does the “Gonzaga” software respect that?

LARRY MERCHANT: (Smirking) It shouldn’t, Jim. It was a “pro-wrestling” finish. Bret Hart was the better fighter tonight. He out-boxed him, out-grappled him, and out-thought him until that moment of hubris at the announce table. Savage didn’t “beat” Hart; Hart beat himself by playing with his food. In boxing, if you’re ahead on the cards and you get caught in a fluke, it’s a tragedy. That’s what we saw here.

LENNOX LEWIS: I don’t know, Larry. You have to give Savage credit for the “Dog” in him. He was being dismantled. His ribs were gone, his leg was being worked on. To have the presence of mind to reverse a power-bomb on the outside and get back in the ring at the count of nine? That’s veteran savvy. That’s why he’s a legend. He found a way to win when he had no right to.

JIM LAMPLEY: Regardless of the “how,” the Macho Man stays alive in the Heavyweight hunt. But now, gentlemen, we move to the match that has been shrouded in darkness all evening. The WarGames. 4-on-4. The cage is lowering.

LARRY MERCHANT: And look at the teams, Jim. It’s a farce! The two biggest stars in the industry—Triple H and Stone Cold—are sitting in the back or out of the building because of a “backstage brawl.” If I’m a fan who paid for a ticket to see the Rattlesnake, I’m feeling robbed.

LENNOX LEWIS: It’s a massive void, Larry. But look at who’s filling it. The Big Show, Kane, X-Pac, and Ron Simmons. That is a lot of meat in one cage. But they’re going up against the “Street Fighters”—Zangief, Sagat, Ken, and Blanka. Guile is sitting out, playing the General, watching his troops.

LARRY MERCHANT: I’ll say it again—I think Vince McMahon got cold feet. He saw Zangief dismantle those “warm-up” fighters and he didn’t want to see his #1 assets, Triple H and Austin, get their limbs torn off before the World Cup. He’s sent in the “Expendables” to do the dirty work. If the Street Fighters win this, the “WWF Mafia” is going to have a serious credibility crisis on their hands.

JIM LAMPLEY: It’s a war of styles. The monsters of the ring versus the legends of the street. The cage is locked. The “Match Beyond” is next!

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Savage’s win keeps him in the hunt for the WrestleMania Heavyweight Title shot, but Bret Hart’s P4P index might actually stay higher because he dominated the majority of the fight. Up next: Can the Wrestlers’ “Monsters” handle the speed and “Yoga-style” offense of the Street Fighters? ]]

MATCH: Team Street Fighter vs. Team Wrestler RESULT: Team Street Fighter via Pinfall (Sagat on Big Show)

[[ IN-RING INTERVIEW: LARRY MERCHANT ]]

LARRY MERCHANT: (Microphone in hand, looking skeptical) I’m standing here with the victorious Street Fighters. A “statement” win, perhaps, but a messy one. Guile, congratulations on the victory. You could have ended this much earlier when Zangief had Kane pinned, but then your man Ken Masters comes in with a steel chair, hits Kane, but clobbers Zangief in the process, breaking up his own teammate’s pin. Give me your thoughts—is this the military precision you promised?

GUILE: (Stiff, arms crossed) A win is a win, Merchant. In the fog of war, friendly fire happens. The objective was completed: the Wrestling Team is broken. I’ll deal with the disciplinary issues in the barracks.

LARRY MERCHANT: Well, let’s ask the “disciplined” one. Zangief, you entered second and quite literally demolished everything in your path. You were a one-man rescue squad, switching targets to keep Kane and Big Show off your smaller teammates. Was it Guile’s strategy to use you as a human shield, or did you just decide to play hero? And while you’re at it, what do you think of Ken’s “help” with that chair?

ZANGIEF: (Towering over Larry, huffing) My muscles are for the protection of my comrades! Guile said “Neutralize the Giants,” so I neutralize! I take Kane, I take Big Show. It is what I do! As for Little Ken… (glances at Ken) …he has the spirit of a tiger, but the aim of a blind donkey. He is lucky I have thick skull, or his chair would be in pieces and my head would be flat!

LARRY MERCHANT: (Turning to Ken Masters) Ken, you look offended. But the tape doesn’t lie. You blundered. The strategy was for you to check X-Pac while Sagat and Big Show were isolated. Did you stop that pin on purpose because you wanted to keep fighting, or was it just a rookie mistake? Was this a “Masters Solo Project,” or did you just forget which team you were on?

KEN MASTERS: (Visibly fuming, stepping toward Larry) A rookie mistake? Are you kidding me? I’ve fought in more countries than you’ve had hot meals, Larry! I saw Kane moving—I thought he was going to kick out, so I took the shot! I’m a high-octane fighter; I don’t sit around waiting for a three-count. We won, didn’t we? Maybe if the “experts” at the desk spent less time analyzing and more time in a dojo, they’d understand split-second instinct!

LARRY MERCHANT: (Dryly) Instinct usually involves hitting the other guy, Ken. (Turns to Sagat) Sagat, you got the pin, but you looked… diminished. You looked slow, perhaps still feeling the effects of that brutal war with Adon or the beating Ryu gave you in the boondocks. You almost got pinned by the Big Show yourself. If Zangief hadn’t rescued you three times, you’d be the one losing the war. What do you think of this strategy that left you alone with a 500-pounder while your teammate was busy sabotaging pins?

SAGAT: (Looking down at his scarred chest, voice a low rumble) The Big Show is a mountain… but mountains can be toppled. My body is weary, yes, but my “Tiger Knee” still finds the mark. Guile’s strategy was sound—isolate the threat. Zangief is a brother-in-arms; his strength is my strength. As for the “hiccups”… the King of Muay Thai does not care how the victory comes, only that he is the one standing over the fallen.

[[ RINGSIDE: THE HBO BOXING DESK ]]

[The camera pans back to Jim Lampley and Lennox Lewis as the Wrestling Team—Kane, Big Show, X-Pac, and Farooq—all shove the camera away and storm out of the arena in silence.]

JIM LAMPLEY: A bitter exit for the Wrestlers, but a historic night for the Street Fighters. Lennox, that was twenty-five minutes of pure, unadulterated chaos.

LENNOX LEWIS: It was a mess, Jim. Zangief was the MVP. Without him, the Street Fighters would have been crushed early. Ken Masters showed a lot of heart but zero discipline. You can’t have “friendly fire” in a cage match of this magnitude. But in the end, Sagat’s experience told. He took the punishment and waited for the opening.

[Larry Merchant slides back into his seat, still looking agitated.]

LARRY MERCHANT: It’s symptomatic of the whole night, Jim. This “WarGames” was a shell of itself because the two biggest stars were pulled out. And now, we head into the Co-Main Event. The UWC Title. The “Holy Grail.” Hogan vs. Kurt Angle.

JIM LAMPLEY: The first-ever Undisputed Champion. The man whose name will be etched alongside the greats.

LARRY MERCHANT: (Leaning in) Let’s be honest, Jim. This is exactly what the “WWF Mafia” wanted. They pulled The Rock and Ken Shamrock out of the 4-way to make it a one-on-one. Why? Because you can’t control a 4-way. Hogan could have been pinned by luck or a fluke. But in a one-on-one? They get the “Ideal Situation.” I suspect Vince was in cahoots with Triple H to attack the Rock, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Shamrock was “encouraged” to pull out. They want Hogan as the first face of that belt for the ratings…

LENNOX LEWIS: (Quickly interjecting) Larry, Larry… let’s keep it to the tactical side! We don’t want the lawyers in the ring before the fighters. Tactically speaking, Jim, this is a nightmare for Kurt Angle. He’s the better wrestler, the better technician, but he’s fighting the “Immortality” of Hogan in a match where the world expects the Hulkster to win.

JIM LAMPLEY: It’s the ultimate test. The Olympic Gold Medalist versus the Icon of an Era. The luck factor is gone. Only the elite remain. The Holy Grail is on the line… next!

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The tension at the announcer’s desk is as high as the ring! Larry is lucky Lennox cut him off—Vince McMahon was reportedly seen glaring at the monitors during that “Mafia” comment. Up next: Hogan vs. Angle. Can Kurt’s technical wrestling overcome the pure power and momentum of the Hulkster? ]]

SURVIVOR SERIES: THE “FINAL” KANSAS CITY CARD

Posted on by Chinito Henson

GUESTS: Teddy Atlas

DATE: November 25, 2026 (1 Day to Survivor Series)

TOPIC: The “Cowardice” of the Boxing Syndicate, the UWC Holy Grail, and the Death of the WarGames.

JOE ROGAN: (Leaning into the mic, eyes wide) “Teddy, we are one day out. One day. And the Boxing Team just… they just evaporated. They pulled out. ‘Health reasons.’ Mental health? Give me a break. You and I both know what happened. They saw the footage from Japan. They saw what Zangief did to a 500-pound Sumo and two pro-wrestlers in three weeks. They realized that a cage doesn’t protect you from a 400-pound Russian; it just keeps you trapped in there with him.”

TEDDY ATLAS: (Intense, leaning forward) “Joe, let’s call it what it is. It’s a lack of character! It’s the ‘Dark Side’ of the sweet science. These promoters—Arum, King—they saw their investments about to get their necks snapped. They looked at the ‘Red Cyclone’ and realized there’s no blueprint for that kind of strength. It’s like being asked to box a hurricane. You don’t box it; you run for the basement. And they ran, Joe. They ran.”

JOE ROGAN: “It’s crazy because Triple H is still in. I’m actually surprised the ‘Cerebral Assassin’ hasn’t found a ‘medical’ excuse yet. He’s stuck! If he pulls out now, after the Boxers already bailed, the WWF ‘Mafia’ would skin him alive. There’d be no Survivor Series. So now it’s just the Wrestlers vs. the Street Fighters. A 4-on-4 bloodbath. And honestly? Without the Boxers taking up space, Zangief has a clearer path to Austin and Hunter. It’s terrifying.”

TEDDY ATLAS: “It’s a different kind of pressure, Joe. But let’s look at the opener. Ultimate Warrior vs. Gen. This is fascinating to me. Gen is a legend in the underground, but the man is dying. He’s literally requested to fight the best before he goes. The medical team cleared him—they say the stress of the fight actually focuses him. But he’s fighting a 250-pound powerhouse in the Warrior. Warrior is 2-1, he destroyed Hall and Mad Dogg, but he got caught by Bischoff. He’s ranked #25 because of that lapse in focus. If he doesn’t respect the ‘Old Master,’ Gen will pick him apart with those pressure points before his heart even realizes he’s in a fight.”

JOE ROGAN: “Then you’ve got Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage. Man, two legends outside the Top 10. They’re looking at that Heavyweight list—Hogan, Rock, Angle—and they realize the door is closing. Bret looked great against Piper, he’s 32, he’s in his window. Savage is 37. If Randy doesn’t win this, he can kiss that WrestleMania title shot goodbye. They need to be busy like Zangief, but they don’t have the youth. It’s a ‘desperation’ match, Teddy.”

TEDDY ATLAS: “It’s about the ‘Holy Grail,’ Joe. The UWC Title. Hogan vs. Kurt Angle. This is Neil Armstrong territory. Whoever wins this is the first. You can be the tenth champion, nobody cares. But the first? That’s immortality. And let’s be real—The Rock is injured, Shamrock pulled out saying he ‘wasn’t ready.’ Shamrock is a warrior, but he knows the UFC belt is a minor league trophy compared to the UWC. He saw the level Hogan and Angle are on and he realized he wasn’t in that zip code yet.”

JOE ROGAN: “And the tragedy of it all? That match should be the Main Event. But because Ted DiBiase is a tactical genius and a piece of work, he’s forced Hogan into a second fight. Hogan has to go through the most dangerous technical wrestler on earth in Kurt Angle for the UWC, and then—bloodied, tired, and maybe broken—he has to defend the USA belt against DiBiase. It’s the most ‘Vegas’ setup I’ve ever seen. DiBiase didn’t out-wrestle him; he out-lawyered him.”

TEDDY ATLAS: “It’s the ultimate test of a champion’s soul. Hogan is fighting for the history books at 8:00 PM, and fighting for his flag at 10:00 PM. If he leaves Kansas City with both belts, Joe… we have to stop talking about him as a ‘wrestler’ and start talking about him as the greatest combat athlete to ever walk the earth. Period.”

THE MORRISON & GOLOTA OUT of Survivor Series

Posted on by Chinito Henson

The original plan for a 5-man Boxing unit has officially imploded.

  • The Tommy Morrison Situation: Despite Morrison’s claims of being “cleared” and testing negative, the Wrestling Team (led by Triple H) and the Street Fighters (led by Guile) issued a joint ultimatum: If Morrison enters the cage, we don’t. The medical liability and the fear of blood-to-blood contact in a “no-rules” cage match forced Bob Arum’s hand. Morrison has been pulled from the card.

  • The Golota Ghost: Andrew Golota was the designated replacement, but a last-minute medical by the WWF’s “Gonzaga” physicians revealed unhealed concussion symptoms and a herniated disc from his October fight with Mike Tyson. He has been barred from competing.

HOLY GRAIL” HELLSCAPE — 4-WAY MAYHEM for the UWC Title!

Posted on by Chinito Henson

The WWF headquarters is in a state of total structural collapse. What was supposed to be a strategic gauntlet for Hogan has turned into a four-headed hydra of elite combat. With The Rock (#2 P4P) feeling snubbed by Hogan’s choice of Kurt Angle, he has effectively blown up the main event by calling out the UFC Champion, Ken Shamrock.

[[ THE NEW UWC MANDATE: THE FATAL FOUR-WAY ]]

Because all four top contenders—Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Kurt Angle, and Ken Shamrock—have now formally expressed interest and issued challenges, the WWF Board of Directors and the “Gonzaga Protocol” algorithms have intervened.

THE OFFICIAL RULING:

The “Hogan’s Choice” contract is VOID. To crown the first-ever Undisputed World Champion (UWC), there can be no “cherry-picking.”

  • The Match: A Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match for the Vacant UWC Title.

  • The Participants: Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Kurt Angle, and Ken Shamrock.

  • The Twist: This is for the UWC Title only. Regardless of the outcome—even if Hogan loses the UWC match—he remains the USA Champion and must fulfill his mandatory defense against Ted DiBiase later that same night.

[[ THE DIBIASE DILEMMA: THE UNBEATABLE TRAP ]]

Ted DiBiase was seen laughing in the hallways of WWF HQ. The “Million Dollar Man” has realized he has Hogan exactly where he wants him.

  • Scenario A: Hogan wins the 4-Way. He becomes the first-ever UWC Champion but is physically destroyed. He then has to face a fresh DiBiase to keep his USA belt and his spot in the 2001 World Cup.

  • Scenario B: Hogan loses the 4-Way. He is beaten, bloodied, and stripped of his P4P dignity. He still has to walk back out to face DiBiase. If he loses that too, he leaves the arena with zero belts and is barred from representing the USA in the Interconnectional Cup.

INSIDER SCOOP: Neither Kurt Angle nor Ken Shamrock are eligible for the USA Title shot tonight; that right belongs solely to DiBiase after his 9-man tournament win. DiBiase is the only man Hogan must fight to keep his flag.

[[ THE WARGAMES CRISIS: THE REMAINING SQUAD ]]

With The Rock and Ken Shamrock now occupied in the UWC title hunt, the “Pro-Wrestler Team” for the 3-Way WarGames (Wrestlers vs. Boxers vs. Street Fighters) is looking thin. Triple H is currently the only confirmed “Elite” wrestler on the team.

Vince McMahon addressed the media: “The Rock thinks he’s bigger than the team? Fine! But I am calling in favors from the most ‘Stone Cold’ corners of this industry. We will have five men in that cage, and they will be the meanest SOBs you’ve ever seen.”

[[ SURVIVOR SERIES: THE “CHAOS” CARD ]]

Match Type Participants
THE FINALS Super Heavyweight Cup Vader vs. Bob Sapp
THE GAUNTLET Vacant UWC Title Hogan vs. Rock vs. Angle vs. Shamrock (Elimination)
THE MANDATORY USA Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. Ted DiBiase
THE CARNAGE 3-Way WarGames Team Wrestler vs. Team Boxer vs. Team Street Fighter
THE WILDCARD Money In The Bank Steven Seagal (Waiting…)

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: This is 5D Chess. DiBiase doesn’t care who wins the UWC; he just wants Hogan to be a walking corpse by the time the USA Title match starts. And if Hogan loses the UWC, he might be too demoralized to stop the ‘Million Dollar’ takeover. ]]

THE CERBERAL ASSASSIN VS. THE FORMER BOSS

Posted on by Chinito Henson

TRIPLE H def. VINCE MCMAHON (Pinfall – 19:42)

The fans were treated to a 5-star masterclass in psychological and physical warfare last night. The “Last Will & Testament” match between Triple H and Mr. McMahon wasn’t just a fight; it was a public execution of a family dynamic that left the crowd breathless and the referee, Stephanie McMahon, in tears.

The first three minutes looked like a squash. Triple H, fueled by months of suppressed rage and the threat of losing his contract, dismantled Vince with cold, calculating hammer strikes. But the story of the night was the Iron Chin of the Chairman. After a sickening Pedigree on the announcement desk—a move that usually ends careers—Vince somehow found the strength to kick out at two, sending the arena into a frenzy.

Vince didn’t just survive; he rallied. Utilizing the “Extreme Rules” to their fullest, he turned a kendo stick into a surgical instrument, momentarily putting “The Game” on the defensive. However, youth and elite conditioning won the day. A second Pedigree, this time inside the ring, finally kept the Chairman down for the three-count. Triple H retains his contract and his relationship, but at a cost that may never be fully paid.

[[ THE POST-MATCH: JOE ROGAN IN THE RING ]]

JOE ROGAN: “I’m here with the winner, Triple H. Hunter, I’ll be honest—I thought this was over in three minutes. Are you surprised Vince lasted this long? Most elite fighters would have stayed down after that first Pedigree on the desk.”

TRIPLE H: (Breathing heavily, wiping blood from his forehead) “Surprised? No, Joe. I know Vince. He’s a parasite—you can’t kill him that easily. But tonight wasn’t about a ‘quick bout.’ It was about making him feel every single second of the mistake he made by trying to control my life. He’s tough, sure, but tonight he found out that I am ‘The Game’ for a reason.”

JOE ROGAN: “That Pedigree on the desk… it was brutal. What was going through your mind in that moment? Was it business, or was it purely personal?”

TRIPLE H: “It was the sound of a contract being signed in blood, Joe. He wanted to take everything from me? Fine. I took his dignity and put it through a table.”

JOE ROGAN: (Turning to Vince, who is being helped up by Shane McMahon) “Vince, you just impressed 20,000 fans tonight. Even in defeat, people are calling this a 5-star performance. How did you survive that beating? What was the training for a 55-year-old man to take those hits?”

VINCE MCMAHON: (Coughing, clutching his ribs) “It’s called… Genetic… Superiority… Rogan. He didn’t… break me.”

(Shane McMahon grabs the mic, eyes locked on Triple H.)

JOE ROGAN: “Shane, give me your thoughts on this. Your father just went through hell.”

SHANE MCMAHON: “My thoughts? My thoughts are that Hunter just made the biggest mistake of his life. You think you’re in the family now? You’re in the crosshairs.”

(Triple H begins trash-talking Shane off-mic, leaning over the ropes as security rushes in to keep the brothers-in-law apart. Joe Rogan stands back, hyped, as the screen cuts to the analyst desk.)

[[ THE EXPERT PANEL ANALYSIS ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: “IT HAPPENED! IT HAPPENED! We just saw a 55-year-old executive reach deep into the soul of this sport and pull out a classic! Vince McMahon, bloodied and beaten, refused to yield! It was the most dramatic opening I’ve called in thirty years!”

TEDDY ATLAS: “Listen, you gotta look at the ‘fireman’ aspect here. Triple H brought the fire, but Vince? Vince didn’t run from the flames! He sat in the middle of the burning building and dared the heat to take him! But Lampley, you can’t ignore the mechanics. Triple H had the timing, he had the leverage, and eventually, the fire just gets too hot for an old man to handle. Great heart, but bad physics for Vince.”

LENNOX LEWIS: “I’ve got to respect the chin on McMahon. In the heavyweight division, if you take a shot like that Pedigree on the desk, your brain usually tells your legs to go on holiday. Vince’s legs stayed in Glasgow! But Triple H showed he’s an elite ‘closer.’ He didn’t get frustrated when Vince kicked out; he just reset and went back to work. That’s champion mentality.”

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Vince is now 0-2. One more loss and he’s out for a year. The tension with Shane is a powder keg—will Shane be the one to try and finish what his father started? ]]

WWF EXTREME RULES: DENVER DEVASTATION

Posted on by Chinito Henson

DATE: October 29, 2000 LOCATION: Pepsi Center, Denver, Colorado

The altitude in Denver wasn’t the only thing causing breathless gasps tonight. From the psychological dismantling of the McMahon dynasty to the coronation of The Rock as the definitive P4P king, Extreme Rules delivered a night of shifting tides.

[[ THE POST-FIGHT INTERVIEWS: JOE ROGAN IN THE RING ]]

JOE ROGAN: “I’m here with the man who just proved the algorithms right. Rock, you just put on a 5-star clinic against the most feared street fighter in the world. You used your length, you survived the ground-and-pound, and you closed it out with two Rock Bottoms and the People’s Elbow. In the end, it was a KO. How did it feel to finally silence the critics who said you were ‘ducking’ Kimbo?”

THE ROCK: (Wiping blood from his lip, chest heaving) “Joe, the critics don’t matter. The algorithms don’t matter. The only thing that matters is the 20,000 screaming fans in Denver and the millions watching at home. Kimbo Slice came in here with a reputation; he left with a lesson. He’s tough—The Rock will give him that—but there is a difference between a backyard brawl and the Great One’s ring. The Rock didn’t just win; The Rock showed him that at this level, you don’t just fight with your fists—you fight with your soul.”

JOE ROGAN: “Kimbo, you’re still getting your bearings, but you went toe-to-toe with the #4 P4P fighter in the world. You hurt him on the ground. You survived a Rock Bottom through a table. What is the takeaway for you tonight after your first loss in the WWF?”

KIMBO SLICE: (Sitting on a stool, ice on his neck) “He’s… he’s faster than he looks on TV, man. I caught him, I felt his ribs crack under my ground-and-pound… but he just keeps coming. I ain’t making excuses. The Rock is the real deal. But Joe? Tell the Top 5 to stop running. I’m still here. I’m still the BMF. I just need one more shot.”

[[ THE MAIN EVENT WRAP-UP: LARRY MERCHANT WITH THE DEADMAN ]]

In a shocking anti-climax that left the audience stunned, The Undertaker dispatched Mankind in just 2 minutes and 2 seconds. No weapons, no long-drawn-out torture—just a cold, efficient Pinfall that moves Taker to 3-1 in their historic rivalry.

LARRY MERCHANT: “Undertaker, the fans were expecting a bloodbath. They were expecting the third chapter of a saga. Instead, you gave them a two-minute execution. Why the change in tactics? Why so quick?”

THE UNDERTAKER: (Staring into the camera, hood up) “Mick Foley has given enough blood to this ring. Tonight wasn’t about the fans’ bloodlust; it was about ending a cycle. The Deadman doesn’t need a kendo stick to prove he’s the Reaper. I took his heart, I took the three-count, and I’m moving toward the title. The saga is buried.”

LARRY MERCHANT: “Mick, you look more confused than hurt. You’re now 1-3 against the Deadman. Is the magic gone, or did he just catch you cold?”

MICK FOLEY: “I… I don’t know, Larry. I prepared for war. I prepared for the tacks and the fire. He just… he came at me like a freight train. Maybe he’s right. Maybe this cycle needs to end before one of us doesn’t walk away.”

[[ THE ANALYST ROUNDTABLE: CLOSING REMARKS ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: “What a night! We saw the emergence of a new power in Kim-Solo, who looked absolutely clinical in forcing Rey Mysterio to tap. It was a statement win for the North Korean—total control, zero waste. He is a dark horse for the title in 2021.”

LENNOX LEWIS: “I have to talk about the Rock and Kimbo. That was the ‘Fight of the Year’ contender right there. People talk about size vs. grit, but the Rock showed that elite athleticism is the ultimate equalizer. And let’s not overlook Bob Sapp. He comically failed that lift on Big Show—looking like he was trying to recreate Hogan/Andre—but that one haymaker changed the night. He stayed undefeated at 3-0! The man is a sentient avalanche.”

TEDDY ATLAS: “Lampley, we have to address the ‘Jackie Chan’ situation. The fans felt cheated. Whether it was a stunt double or just a safe strategy, the Ladder Match was a letdown. But look at the heavyweights! Vader vs. Yokozuna was a ‘Big Man Classic.’ Vader’s stamina was the only reason he’s moving on. He couldn’t hit the moonsault, but he hit the marks when it mattered.”

LARRY MERCHANT: “And finally, the Main Event. It was the anti-climax of the century. After the 5-star war between Triple H and Vince to open the show—where Vince showed the chin of a statue—to see Mankind fall in two minutes? It feels like the end of an era. The WWF is changing, Jim. It’s becoming faster, more efficient, and more dangerous.”

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The Microsoft Simulator was spot on about The Rock’s length being the deciding factor. With Taker moving to 3-1 and Kimbo dropping to #2, the P4P rankings are about to be a total mess tomorrow morning! ]]

WWF_EXCLUSIVE: THE ROAD TO EXTREME RULES

Posted on by Chinito Henson

LOCATION: The Rock’s Private Gym, Miami, FL INTERVIEWER: Quinito Henson (“The Dean” of Philippine Combat Sports)

The “Brahma Bull” is currently finishing a set of heavy squats as Quinito Henson waits with his notepad. The intensity in the room is high—The Rock is preparing for a BMF Rules fight against the most feared street fighter on the planet, Kimbo Slice.

QUINITO HENSON: “Rock, first of all, Kumusta! The fans in the Philippines and all over the world are electrified. You’ve just signed on to face Kimbo Slice in a BMF (Baddest Motherf***er) match. This isn’t your typical wrestling match—this is bare-knuckle territory. Question 1: Why take this risk now, when you are so close to the Undisputed World Title?“

THE ROCK: (Wiping sweat with a towel, eyes focused) “Quinito, Salamat. To answer your question—The Rock doesn’t play it safe. Kimbo Slice thinks because he’s got a beard and a YouTube highlight reel that he owns the ‘streets.’ But the Rock is the People, and the People live on those streets. If I want to be the Undisputed King, I have to walk through the most dangerous alley in the WWF. Risk? The only risk is Kimbo thinking he’s getting out of that ring in one piece.”

QUINITO HENSON: “Kimbo just lost his #1 P4P spot to Hulk Hogan, and he’s coming into this fight with a chip on his shoulder the size of a mountain. Question 2: Do you think a desperate, angry Kimbo Slice is more dangerous than the one who was winning easily?“

THE ROCK: “Desperation is just another word for ‘clumsy.’ Kimbo is emotional. He’s mad at the rankings, he’s mad at Hogan, he’s mad at the world. The Rock? The Rock is cold. I’m surgical. When you fight with anger, you leave openings. And Quinito, you know as well as anyone—you give The Rock an opening, and I will lay the SmackDown on your candy-ass before you can blink.”

QUINITO HENSON: “We saw Kimbo dismantle Eagle in seconds last month because of the massive power gap. You are much bigger and faster than Eagle, but Kimbo’s hands are like bricks. Question 3: What is the specific strategy to avoid that one-punch ‘Kill Switch’ he possesses?“

THE ROCK: “You hit him first, you hit him hard, and you keep moving. Kimbo is a stationary target. He wants to plant his feet and swing for the fences. The Rock is an athlete. I’ve got the footwork, I’ve got the range, and I’ve got a spinebuster that will put his 230-pound frame through the canvas. He’s looking for a knockout; I’m looking to break his spirit.”

QUINITO HENSON: “This is under BMF Rules. No 10-ounce gloves, no referee stoppages unless someone is unconscious. Question 4: Have you changed your training camp? Are you working more on your ‘dirty’ boxing and clinch work to prepare for his street-fighting style?“

THE ROCK: “I’ve been in the trenches. I’ve brought in the best catch-wrestlers and the grittiest brawlers. We aren’t training for a ‘match,’ Quinito. We are training for a mugging. Kimbo wants to make it ugly? The Rock can get as ugly as it gets. I’m sharpening the elbows, I’m hardening the knuckles. It’s going to be a long night for the ‘Street King.'”

QUINITO HENSON: “There is a lot of talk about the ‘Mafia’ protecting certain fighters, but Kimbo seems to be an outsider. Question 5: Do you feel the WWF brass wants you to win this to keep the title in the hands of a mainstream star, or do they want the ‘monster’ Kimbo to remain invincible?“

THE ROCK: “The Rock doesn’t give a damn what the ‘brass’ wants. I don’t work for them; I work for the fans. If the suit-and-tie guys in the back want a corporate champion, they’re looking at the wrong man. I’m going in there to win because it’s my destiny. Whether the ‘Mafia’ likes it or not, the People’s Champion is taking that #1 spot back.”

QUINITO HENSON: “Kurt Angle is lurking. He wants the winner in January for a title shot. Question 6: If you get past Kimbo, are you ready to transition from a street brawler like him to an Olympic technical master like Angle just three months later?“

THE ROCK: “One hurdle at a time, Quinito. Angle is a great athlete, but he’s got no ‘dog’ in him like Kimbo does. If I can survive the street, the Olympic mat will feel like a vacation. But first, Kimbo Slice gets the beating of a lifetime.”

QUINITO HENSON: “Final question, Rock. The fans in Manila are staying up until 4:00 AM to watch this. Question 7: What is your final message to Kimbo Slice before you step into that Extreme Rules environment?“

THE ROCK: (Leaning into the camera, brow furrowed) “Kimbo… you spent your whole life fighting for bread in backyards. Now you’re in the Great One’s backyard. You talk about being ‘the baddest,’ but at Extreme Rules, you’re going to realize there’s a difference between a street fighter and a God. Pack your bags, bring your beard, and bring every bit of ‘thug’ you’ve got—because it won’t be enough. If you smell… what the Rock… is cookin’!”

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The Rock looks in the best shape of his career. If Kimbo can’t find the chin early, The Rock’s conditioning might carry him to the upset! ]]

THE HALLOWEEN HARVEST — BLOOD, BRICK, & THE BILLIONAIRE’S DAUGHTER

Posted on by Chinito Henson

The WWF landscape has shifted from the fog of Scotland to the concrete jungle of the U.S. for the most violent night of the year. With Hulk Hogan officially taking the #1 P4P spot and Bret Hart solidifying his technical reign, the October “Extreme Rules” PPV is about one thing: Survival.

[[ THE INITIAL CARD: OCTOBER 2000 ]]

1. MAIN EVENT: THE UNDERTAKER VS. MANKIND III (Extreme Rules)

The trilogy that defined the “Gonzaga Protocol.” Mankind is looking to avenge his summer losses, while the Deadman has promised to “bury the Foley legacy” once and for all. No count-outs, no rope breaks—just the Cell and the concrete.

2. THE SEMI-FINALS: YOKOZUNA VS. VADER

The Super Heavyweight Tournament reaches a fever pitch. Both men are weighing in at a combined 1,000+ lbs. The winner faces the victor of the “Big Show Bracket” for a shot at Hogan’s USA Title.

  • Medical Alert: Birdie (500 lbs) was originally scheduled for the other side of the bracket, but after the brutal Butterbean loss, the medical team is 50/50 on clearing him. The Big Show is currently waiting in the wings for a replacement.

3. THE CELEBRITY LADDER MATCH: JACKIE CHAN (46) VS. ERAP (53)

In a bizarre crossover that has the Asian market exploding, action legend Jackie Chan faces off against the “Action Star of the Philippines,” Joseph “Erap” Estrada. Erap, currently facing massive political pressure in Manila, has decided to settle his “tough guy” reputation in a WWF ring.

  • The Stipulation: A high-stakes Ladder Match. Jackie has the agility, but Erap has the “Masa” (People) power and a surprisingly heavy right hook from his early film days.

[[ THE KIMBO SLICE PREDICAMENT: THE OPEN CHALLENGE ]]

Kimbo Slice is a man possessed. Dropping to #2 P4P behind Hogan has ignited a fire in the Street King. He has issued a BMF (Baddest Motherfer) Open Challenge*. He feels fresh, unhurt, and insulted.

THE PROBLEM: No one in the Top 5 wants the risk. Kurt Angle is playing hardball in negotiations, demanding a January date to maximize the buy-rate. Ken Shamrock is focused on his own bracket. Ryu is still recovering from the Bulldog war and won’t be cleared until November.

WHO ACCEPTS?

Rumors are swirling that a “Ghost from the Past” might answer. Insider reports suggest Mike Tyson is considering a one-off “Hybrid Rule” appearance to prove the Mafia wasn’t protecting him, or perhaps a rising star like The Rock sees this as his “shortcut” to the #1 spot.

[[ THE MCMAHON FAMILY CIVIL WAR ]]

The “Vince vs. The World” saga has reached a boiling point. Triple H has officially confirmed what the tabloids suspected: he is in a relationship with Stephanie McMahon.

The Chairman’s reaction was explosive. Vince, now a full-time fighter himself, has stripped Triple H of his “Top Contender” status and booked a match that is being billed as “The Father-in-Law from Hell.”

  • The Stake: If Triple H wins, he stays in the family and the title hunt. If Vince wins, Triple H is BANNED from seeing Stephanie and fired from the WWF.

[[ THE KIM-SOLO DEBUT ]]

The mysterious Kim-Solo has also issued an Extreme Rules open challenge. Unlike Kimbo, Solo is looking to prove his “Total Combat” efficiency. Word is a certain “High-Flyer” from the Mexican circuit is looking to make a name by taking him out.

[[ UPDATED OCTOBER PREVIEW ]]

Match Type Status
Undertaker vs. Mankind Extreme Rules Confirmed
Yokozuna vs. Vader Tournament Semi Confirmed
Jackie Chan vs. Erap Ladder Match Confirmed
Triple H vs. Vince McMahon Bloodline Match Confirmed
Kimbo Slice vs. TBD BMF Open Challenge URGENT

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Erap in a ladder match at 53? That’s a bold move, even for the WWF. If he falls, it might be the end of his political career and his health! ]]

CLASH AT THE CASTLE Official Fight Card

Posted on by Chinito Henson

DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2000

LOCATION: HAMPDEN PARK, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

The “Gonzaga Protocol” has taken over the United Kingdom. With a card featuring everything from ancient legends to street-fighting icons, the world’s most elite analysts have weighed in. Here is the final report on the most anticipated night in modern combat sports.

[[ THE MAIN EVENT: GENERATIONAL CROSSROADS ]]

HULK HOGAN vs. BRUNO SAMMARTINO

  • TEDDY ATLAS: “You look at Bruno, he’s 46, but he’s got that ‘Old World’ strength. He’s a man who doesn’t know how to take a step back. But Hogan? Hogan is in that zone where he believes his own myth. If Bruno can’t trap him in a bearhug in the first three minutes, the speed and the ‘Gonzaga-era’ conditioning of Hogan will simply melt the legend. Prediction: Hogan via TKO (4th Minute).“

  • MAX KELLERMAN: “This is a legacy fight, pure and simple. Bruno is coming off a win over Piper, but Andre exposed the mobility issues. Hogan is too explosive. It’s going to be a sentimental start and a brutal finish. Prediction: Hogan.“

[[ THE SCOTTISH TRAGEDY: RETIREMENT OR REDEMPTION? ]]

BRET “THE HITMAN” HART vs. “ROWDY” RODDY PIPER

  • JIM LAMPLEY: “We are looking at the potential end of a 35-year-old icon’s career. Piper is 0-2 and facing a suspension. The pressure is suffocating. Bret Hart is a surgeon, and he’s coming to Glasgow to perform an amputation on Piper’s career. It’s heart-wrenching. Prediction: Hart via Sharpshooter.“

  • JOE ROGAN: “Never count out a crazy man in his backyard. Piper is fighting for his life. If he turns this into a dirty brawl and ignores the ‘wrestling’ aspect, he can win. But Bret is too disciplined. Prediction: Hart.“

[[ THE STREET FIGHTER SHOWCASE: RYU’S DEBUT ]]

RYU vs. THE BRITISH BULLDOG (Replacement for William Regal)

  • JOE ROGAN: “Ryu is a mystery. We saw what he did to Sagat—it was like watching a video game in real life. The Bulldog is a powerhouse, but he’s moving slow. Ryu’s striking is on a different frequency. If Ryu lands one ‘Shoryuken’ style uppercut, the Bulldog is going to sleep. Prediction: Ryu via KO.“

  • TEDDY ATLAS: “The Bulldog has the size, but Ryu has the ‘No-Mind.’ He’s not fighting the man; he’s fighting the technique. This is a mismatch in speed. Prediction: Ryu.“

[[ THE BMF GRUDGE: THE PRINCE VS. THE SON ]]

PRINCE NASEEM HAMED vs. ROYCE GRACIE (BMF Rules)

  • MAX KELLERMAN: “Naseem is using Royce as a punching bag to prepare for Rickson. That’s dangerous. Royce is a UFC pioneer. Under BMF rules (No Time Limit), Naseem’s boxing speed eventually fades. Once it hits the ground, it’s Royce’s world. Prediction: Royce Gracie via Submission.“

  • JOE ROGAN: “I disagree. Naseem has been training his sprawls. He’s going to light Royce up on the feet. Royce isn’t as aggressive as his father. Prediction: Prince Naseem via TKO.“

[[ THE HEAVYWEIGHT SLUGFESTS ]]

Match Analysis Predictor Winner
Kimbo Slice vs. Eagle “Kimbo is cherry-picking, but Eagle is a technical nightmare. If Kimbo can’t find the chin early, Eagle’s reach wins.” Teddy Atlas Kimbo Slice
Birdie vs. Butterbean II “Birdie is 500lbs of bad news. Butterbean is a legend, but Birdie’s chains and headbutts are too much for a boxer.” Joe Rogan Birdie

[[ THE SEPTEMBER 2000 FINAL CARD ]]

  1. Hulk Hogan vs. Bruno Sammartino (USA Title / UWC Vacant)

  2. Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper (Career on the Line)

  3. Ryu vs. British Bulldog (The Highland Debut)

  4. Kimbo Slice vs. Eagle (Street Fighter Dream Match)

  5. Birdie vs. Butterbean II (The Rematch)

  6. Prince Naseem vs. Royce Gracie (BMF Rules)

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The gate is sold out. The Scottish fans are ready to riot if Piper loses. This is the biggest night in the history of the Gonzaga Protocol! ]]
