I think everyone owes the WWF an apology - that opening segment didn't last twenty minutes! It only lasted *seventeen!*

Back into the ring we go - gutshot by Stephanie, short clothesline, got BOTH straps - and now windmilling her about the assal area.
RAW IS WAR 2.4.2001
Up to the second rope - she's gonna Vaderbomb her! - oh, no, Trish is gonna sweep her leg and Stephanie is going to very gently drape herself across the top buckle. Whip in the butt! Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip! (THERE'S a camera angle I don't ever need to see again)

Gore #2. I don't know about you, but *I* am going to go start an online petition RIGHT NOW because it's not RIGHT when heavyweights squash the light heavyweight champion like that.

You know a REAL bad habit that Ross has slipped into lately is he's REALLY started to enjoy saying "scoring with a..." while calling moves. See, he's NOT scoring - this here sport isn't SCORED. "They don't score it on points in this game, Ross." "Kane scoring with those right hands..." NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO STOP ROSS STOP STOP STOP STOP NO NO NO NOBODY IS SCORING WITH ANYTHING all right I'm done with that.

CRASH & MOLLY HOLLY (with Let Us Take You Back to Monday) v. RHYNO in a handicap match - No matter how you slice it, it's still SQUASH. Molly never gets in, making the Highlight of this match the wwf.com logo appearing and disappearing.

CHRIS BENOIT (with WWF: The Music [Volume 5] CD cover & RAW is WAR is brought to you by M&M's, FRAM!, and the JVC GigaTube) v. CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO in a "we're mates - but not *those* kinda mates" match - also, the loser can't call himself "Chris" anymore - we're ready to go but there's an important missing ingredient in this match...the *screwjob waiting to happen*, so the lack of a zebra in the ring is remedied as the music of COMMISSIONER REGAL fires up - ha ha, YOU thought there'd be some WRESTLING tonight!

SELF-PROMOTION: To make up for not spending Easter with my family, I did Metal and Heat this week. Come to think of it, THAT'S not entirely true either. What, is this whole report going to be a vicious web of lies? That reminds me - gotta check the SportsLine stock price...

Moments Ago, Debra's not a bad actress - Heyman gets off a good line: "I *abhor* female-on-male violence! It should NEVER air on television!"

By the way, if anybody sniffs and scoffs and tells you "well, these two had a better match at the Pillman show," - and you KNOW they will - just smile and tell them "well, I'M happy *I* just had a chance to see *this* match - along with MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE - ya damn snob. That match was EURO AWESOME."

Heyman tries to convince me (and the censor) that Show earlier said "goofs" by saying "Gooks! G-O-O-F-S, gooks!" - who knows, maybe he *did* and the WWF is gonna take it on the chin unnecessarily - of course, since they bleeped it, I have no way of knowing. All told, Heyman and Ross and Heyman said or spelled it eight times, so you know they were *really* worried about it. Anyway, let's listen to the gooks - GOOFS! GOOFS! I said GOOFS! Oh MAN I'm gonna get it now. Let's listen to the men from the rising sun.

Let Us Take You Back to SmackDown! - wait, did I already see this video package? At the very beginning of the show, maybe? Yes...yes, I did. (You're WEIRD. Didn't you see this MATCH on Thursday? Didn't you see this interview on Heat last night? Why don't you just bitch about that instead?) You know, you're just a CRUTCH. I can work just fine WITHOUT you. (Oh yeah? Let's see you TRY it, Poindexter. I step out for a segment and you're ALREADY making racist cracks)

WALL BUCHANAN & GOODFATHER DOT COM (with Steven Richards & Backlash at WWFNY hype) v. KAI & TAI - Ring flowerpot LILIAN GARCIA gets close enough with "Michinuku." They show up, leave...and come back in Elway jerseys, swinging Broncos flags. I HATE them now.

OKAY, FINE, I'LL ADDRESS THE "FEUD": I know that some hard feelings have come up lately, and I'm really not much of an online battler, despite what you may have heard otherwise. I want to diffuse the situation as soon as possible, and I figure the best way to do it is with a free unsolicited plug at the top (well, near the top) of the column, so hey! Why don't you all go visit the Smarks site **right now.** That's right! I'm giving in and capitulating - I'm FINALLY burying the hatchet and patching up ALL of my differences with... Al Isaacs.

Talk turns to last night's Last Man Standing match. Courtesy: the encore, we look back to last night's Owen Hart Memorial Spot - of course, they switch to stills when it comes time to show the fall because (1) you have to PAY to see that and (2) Shane didn't really connect with Show anyway.

Scooped up - Trish struggles back to her feet - but Chyna runs her into the turnbuckle. Kick, kick, kick kick kick kick.
