The Android had lots of fun hurling verbal abuse in public last night and NOT get arrested. That’s right. The Android was at a live World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) event held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Here’s a quick review of all the featured match-ups.
CHRIS MASTERS vs RIC FLAIR
At 58 years of age, the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair could still walk down that aisle with style and profile. Can’t say the same after he disrobes, though. Regardless… the veteran showed Masters that he still had it, issuing vicious chops and receiving them just as well. In the end, it was the cocky young bloke who tapped out to the legendary Figure Four Leg Lock. Woooo!!!
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS DUECE & DOMINO vs MAJOR BROTHERS
Although they are renowned assholes, one can’t help but secretly root for Deuce & Domino… especially when their opponents are the air-headed Major Brothers, Brett and Brian. “Dude! We got pinned!” Yeah, whatever… NEXT!
MICHELLE McCOOL vs VICTORIA
Personally, The Android would have preferred to see Maria, Candice or Torrie. But the latter didn’t make the roster and the previous two are from the RAW franchise, so we were stuck with Victoria and Michelle. Victoria was clearly the more experienced and aggressive one in this match. However, because Michelle was “The All-American Girl” and she looked less like a man, Victoria was pinned for the 3-count after a mediocre Belly-to-belly Suplex from Ms McCool.
STEVIE RICHARDS vs ELIJAH BURKE
Up next, we had some ECW. The Android has never liked Stevie Richards and doesn’t think he ever will. Elijah Burke was the better entertainer and got awarded the win as a result. Ropes? What ropes?
FINLAY vs KANE
In-person, Kane was indeed larger than life… and so was his gut. But that’s beside the point. Right from the beginning, Finlay did not stand a chance in Hell against the Big Red Monster. Even Hornswoggle’s interference could not save Finlay from being driven through the mat by Kane’s Chokeslam.
INTERMISSION
ECW WORLD CHAMPION JOHN MORRISON vs TOMMY DREAMER
We’re back once again ladies and gentlemen! Johnny Nitro made it clear to everyone present last night that he was to be referred to as John Morrison in future. Well then, hardcore specialist Tommy Dreamer proceeded to hand Mr Morrison the trashing of a lifetime, but was alas taken out by the Snapshot. Sigh.
CHAVO GUERRERO vs REY MYSTERIO
This was, without a shadow of a doubt, the most spectacular match of the evening! There were technical manoeuvres, quick reversals, high-flying action, and then some! Both the atheletes traded move-for-move and hold-for-hold to deliver a tremendous performance. Finally, it was the pint-sized Mysterio who landed the 619 and followed up with a Frog Splash off the ropes for the win.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION THE GREAT KHALI vs BATISTA
Last but not least, we have the main event. For the longest time, The Animal has hungered for Gold since his return from injury. The opportunity is now presented to him in the form of the 7-foot-tall giant, The Great Khali. Batista fought hard and with heart, but once again there was to be no exchange of championship titles, as Finlay made an entry to mess things up. Fortunately, Kane came to The Animal’s aid. A disappointed Batista was awarded the win through disqualification.
This, however, was not to be the end…
Just as The Great Khali and Finlay were making their exit with the gold, Batista issued them a non-title tag team challenge! The fans went into a frenzy and began their “Khali Chicken” chant to taunt the bad guys back into the squared circle. The challenge was accepted and the fans were treated to another match!
THE GREAT KHALI & FINLAY vs BATISTA & KANE
Kane became a liability at some point of this colossal match-up and got trapped in opponent territory. It didn’t help that Finlay and the giant Punjabi made it extremely difficult for the Big Red Monster to tag his partner. Yet somehow, the good guys always find a way and Kane made the tag. The Animal burst into the ring to unleash all of his fury, concluding it with a Batista Bomb on Finlay for the pin.
And just like that, the night was over. The Android was disappointed with a few things: there were no steel chair smacks, no table smashes, no bloody matches, no pyrotechnic entries and the expected no title exchanges. Yet, seeing all the Superstars in the flesh, as well as cheering and jeering along with hundreds of other hot-blooded wrestling fans more than made up for everything. It was one heckuva experience.
Would The Android attend another WWE event in future? Well, HELL YEAH!!!
