WWE HEAT
(Commentators - Todd Grisham & Jonathan Coachman)

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch Vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Super Crazy: Now this is a team. Team Crazy. The crowd chant 'U-S-A', despite the fact that the team they are shouting it for contains 50% less American than the other. Lance Cade begins the match with the non-American, it starts off a bit crap, but gets a bit less crap as Crazy uses his kinda-lucha moves. Then Duggan is tagged in. After some shit, the tag champs get the heat on the old guy, presumably because who ever put the match together wanted more post hot tag action than the twelve seconds Duggan usually manages. The tag happens and Crazy flies around the best he can, including an Asai moonsault to Cade on the outside. Back in, however, Murdoch saves Cade from a top rope crossbody from Crazy, before Duggan removes himself and Murdoch from proceedings allowing Cade to hit his uranage sit-out slam for the three count on Crazy. 'U-S-A, U-S-A'.
Winners: Cade & Murdoch (Time 6:28)

Carlito Vs Conrad Cairns: Conrad gets some early success as he avoids a charge into the corner, but soon gets hit with a springboard back elbow. As usual, Carlito's springboard looks rubbish, but the fact that the middle rope bows all the way down to the bottom rope surely can't help. Carlito doesn't do much else of interest as he heads towards the inevitable, which occurs via backstabber. Some apple spitting follows the decision.
Winner: Carlito (2:31)

The World's Greatest Tag Team Vs Nate Mattson & Dave Glenn: Ring announcer Justin Roberts makes sure to preface Haas & Benjamin's team name with 'Self-proclaimed'. How rude. And what, is Lilian Garcia too big for Heat now she's singing with Jon Secada? Oh well, I guess I can cope 'Just Another Day' without her. Haas looks big and pissed off as he throws the jobbers about: Benjamin looks less big and quite calm in doing the same. Actually, I think Shelton is trying to look angry, but he just appears confused. I don't mind watching Shelton Benjamin beating up random guys, because he's, you know, a good wrestler, although it is an utterly pointless pursuit. The one-sided match is quite fun for a couple of minutes of Benjamin having his way with Mattson and Glenn, then Haas taps one of them out with the Haas of Pain.
Winners: Haas & Benjamin (3:48)

Daivari Vs Cody Rhodes: Once again Daivari speaks foreign, and once again he is interrupted. I wonder if he always says the same thing? Maybe he has a really great promo that he has been working on, but only ever gets to practice the first few lines. Or maybe he spends all week working out something different to say for nobody to understand or care about. Talking of apathy, that Rhodes/Bob Holly tag team should be great, huh? I tells ya, as soon as Rhodes has managed to gain Sparky's respect, that'll shoot him up the popularity ranks. This is a decent match, with the crowd (or at least the ladies amongst it) getting into it and buying a near fall for young Cody at the end. The actual end comes as Daivari sends Rhodes over the top rope, but Cody skins the cat and hits the ddt for the win by pinfall.
Winner: Cody Rhodes (5:29)
