Rey Mysterio comes out with a crutch to allegedly retire. Spoiler alert: He's still wrestling 16 years later. They show the highlights of him being hung upside down getting hit with a chair from the I Quit match. He says that he quit because of the pain he was in, but not because he quit on the fans. The fans helped him win the Royal Rumble and the World Heavyweight Championship and he says that he will climb that mountain again when he returns. Out comes Chavo and Vickie Guerrero. He asks Rey to say "I quit" again and then asks him to autograph the chair he used on him. Chavo signs it instead and writes "I OUIT". I'm not joking. Chavo then attacks him and takes out his knee again. He hits him with the chair and then Vickie wants a shot too. Out comes Chris Benoit to make the save. A little late there, buddy.
London & Kendrick vs. KC James & Idol Stevens
This is a non-title match. After a quick burst from the champs, James is able to isolate Kendrick and work on the back. He tags in Stevens and Kendrick is able to hit a back body drop and tag in London. The referee didn't see it, but that doesn't last long and Kendrick hits the tag again. London gets the hot tag and hits a hurricanrana on Stevens. Kendrick hits a dive to the outside, but Michelle McCool grabs London's leg while running the ropes to help shift the momentum. Kendrick is barely able to break up the pin. Kendrick hits Sliced Bread #2 and London hits a moonsault off his back for the victory. They tried to have a 15 minute match in 5 minutes and because of that it lacked any drama.
Match Rating: *1/4
Teddy Long meets up with King Booker and Queen Sharmell. Teddy wants him to be the Champion of Champions at Cyber Sunday and he wants him to stay in a special room with a special guard.
They announce it will be Batista vs. Finlay.
Back to Booker and Sharmell and in walks his special protection, Batista. Booker isn't happy about it. Booker talks some trash, so Batista shoves him up against the wall and says that the only reason he lost was because of Finlay. He assures him that no one is going through him.
MVP and Mr. Kennedy are shown talking about their match tonight. Kennedy says that he's beaten both Undertaker and Kane and MVP needs to listen to him about a strategy. MVP talks about his credentials but Kennedy isn't listening.
Mr. Kennedy & MVP vs. Kane & Undertaker
Kane and MVP end up starting things off when Kennedy tags in a reluctant MVP. JBL compares Kane and Undertaker to Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali. I beg to differ. Kane and Taker hit a double boot and then a double clothesline, sending both opponents to the floor. Kennedy and MVP decide to head to the back and are counted out. Out comes Teddy Long and says that we didn't make this huge match for them to walk out. He restarts the match and makes it a No Countout match. After the commercial, we restart our match. The Brothers Of Demotion continue to bury their opponents. Taker hits Old School on MVP and knocks Kennedy off the apron. Kane hits the clothesline off the top rope on MVP, but Kennedy breaks up the 3 count. Kane goes for a Chokeslam, but Kennedy comes from behind and hits a low blow on him, causing a disqualification. Not so fast, out comes Teddy Long again. He restarts the match with No Disqualification. Taker and Kane attack them on the ramp and destroy them. They take turns destroying them until Kennedy is able to knock Kane off the apron and then hits a double ax handle. Kennedy and Taker both get tagged in and Taker destroys him as well. MVP breaks up a pin and then begs for mercy. Kennedy hits a low blow on Taker and then a swinging neckbreaker. Since they are just such incredible performers, Taker and Kane no sell it and hits double chokeslams for the victory. If you like these guys, then maybe you will like this. For me, this was just garbage where your new stars looked like absolute turds the entire match.
Match Rating: 3/4*
Booker wants to get a drink, but Batista advises him not to as ECW may be in the building tonight. I bet they are since, you know, the show is taped there.
Gregory Helms vs. Jimmy Wang Yang
Yang brings out Amy from the Diva Search as his manager. Yang quickly hits a dive to the outside, but Helms quickly folds Yang inside out with a clothesline. Yang comes back and hits a series of kicks that leads to a DDT. He hits the spin kick and gets a 2 count. Yang hits a moonsault, but Sylvan is out and distracts the referee. Yang goes after Sylvan and he gets rolled up by Helms for the victory. As soon as the bell rings, Sylvan attacks Yang. Matt Hardy comes out and makes the save and hits a Side Effect on Helms. This was pretty good, but extremely short.
Match Rating: *1/2
Back to Booker and Sharmell. Sharmell is trying to get out of the room to powder her nose. Booker's not getting the hint. This was pointless.
Kristal Marshall & Miz vs. Layla & Vito
Brave choice to have Layla and Kristal start things off. It doesn't last long and in come the men. Vito's one note character hits the same moves he hits every week and then taunts Kristal with it. Kristal reverses an Irish whip and then rolls up Layla, grabs the tights and gets the victory. Miz remains undefeated. Out comes Boogeyman and again Miz is able to get away. Kristal gets worms spit at her and then runs away to put us all out of our misery. This was as terrible as you would expect.
Match Rating: 1/4*
More of the Booker/Batista drama. Batista leaves to get some water and then makes a bunch of noise to make it sound like he is fighting someone. Booker wants out of there.
Jamie Noble vs. Bobby Lashley
Tatanka comes out before the match starts with new black and white face paint. Lashley hits a few power moves before hitting the running powerslam for the victory. Tatanka addresses Lashley and says he doesn't owe anyone an explanation. He talks about the mistreatment of Native Americans.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Booker and Sharmell are shown being walked out with Batista. As they are getting in the limo, a few people try to attack Booker. Batista stops them and Booker gets away in the limo. Teddy Long thanks him and Batista tells him why wait for next week when he can do it now. We come back from commercial and he makes his way to the ring. He calls out Finlay and he makes his way out. He pretends to go back to the locker room, but attacks Batista as he goes after him. Batista then pretty much destroys him until a bunch of officials try to break it up.
Man, this episode was absolutely terrible. I guess if you like Kane and Undertaker you might like it a little more than I did, but this was just a pointless show. It existed only because it had to.
