KANE OPENER!!!!! !
KANE and Bradshaw vs
Christian and Storm, WWE Tag Team Title Match:
The crowd was TOTALLy on FIRE as the stage BURST into Flame and
KANE sauntered through to start it all off! In the ring, KANE
lights up the night with his pyros then turns to watch The Big
Texan, Bradshaw, make his way to join him.
It's the World's Tag Team Title that's
on the line, and Bradshaw takes the mic to tell us that they were
there to take the Title in the HeartLand of America and brinng
home where it belongs.
Two of the Un's (reminds me of the old UN-cola commercials)
Christian and Storm hit the ramp to some sssssscorching heat, and
get into the ring to and all-out- brawl. KANE knocks Christian
clean out of the ring, then he and Bradshaw drop 
Storm like yesterday's news. The ref
signals for one of the Titan Avengers to take his place outside
the ring, KANE leaves and Bradshaw continues his assault on
Storm. Bradshaw produced a scoop slam on Storm - went for the pin
- a kickout on the two count has the guys up and at it again.
Action is hard and hammering when Storm slings Bradshaw into the
ropes and Bradshaw comes back to shoulder block Lance out of the
ring - Christian goes to join in - KANE makes to counter -
Bradshaw reaches down and lifts Storm up to suplex him over the
ropes back into the ring. A cover by Bradshaw - Storm kicks out
again on the two. Bradhsaw tags to KANE.
Kane punches Storm around the ring as Bradshaw takes his spot
outside the ring. Back and forth 'til Storm tags in Christian -
actually it looked like Christian tagged himself in, DUH!!! I
guess that's why JR called it a blind tag O.O - who attackes KANE
from behind but KANE shakes it off and applies a double
clothesline to the Tag Chimps. Tag back to Bradshaw. Back suplex
by Bradshaw - pin - 1-2-shoulder up, and up again for more
action. Christian charges right into a Big Boot from Bradshaw -
cover again - another two count and Bradshaw tags KANE in again. 
KANE displays his AWESOME power executing a double lifting choke
to Christian - he goes for the elbow drop, but Christian rolls
out and KANE greets the mat with total velocity. Christian makes
to snatch and puch at KANE's head, but KANE reaches up to grasp
him around he throat as he rises and lifts and tosses Christian
into the corner post, knocking Storm off the apron. Sidewalk slam
by Kane which Christian shoulders out of at two. As KANE regains
his feet, Storm reaches in through the ropes and pulls at the
Gargantuan's leather clad calves, bringing KANE down to wishbone
him around the ringpost!!!!! EEEEEE That HAD to sting!!!! KANE
writhes in pain as Christian stomps away on him with Storm
applying what he can from outside the ring. Christian continues
with a flurry of punches and blatant chokes as he straddles
KANE's writhing body while the ref is distracted by Bradshaw
protesting from his corner. Christian goes over to add to the
fray, allowing Storm to pull KANE out of the ring and beat on him
'til Christian comes around and they both heft KANE back into the
ring. Once there, Storm tags in and the Chumps attempt to
elimnate KANE on the spot. 
KANE battles out of the corner, to be
guillotined by Christian him. Lance takes a run at KANE, who
lifts him effortlessly into a tilt-a-whirl slam, both men meet
the mat. SOLD tag to Bradshaw - Storm tags in Christian.
Another shoulder block from Bradshaw, followed by a back elbow to
Christian. Storm seeks to interfere, flying off the top, but
Bradshaw catches him and with Storm in his arms, Bradshaw boots
Christian back and hits the fallaway slam on Storm. Bradshaw
works to a Spinebuster to Christian as KANE paces the outside of
the ring, still obviously feeling the effects of the wishbone -
Bradshaw covers - count is broken by Storm at two. Storm, who
seems to be EVERYWHERE!, then Superkicks Bradshaw then skittles
out to go after KANE - the two battle around the outside as
Christian takes advantage and goes for the pin on Bradshaw who
gets the shoulder up in time. Christian now looks for the
Unprettier - Bradshaw shoves him off the ropes and follows with a
powerslam which Christian kicks out of. Lance goes up top and
hits a flying clothesline on Bradshaw - I'm looking around for
KANE - ask - WHERE is he???? The camera pans around - and AHH!!!
THERE he is ~ perched atop a ringpost himself - he takes to the
air and delivers an awesome flyin clothesline to the bug eyed
Storm. 
Storm goes to counter with a flying
dropkick, but KANE sidesteps - DAYUM that guy's got rythm! - and
Storm plows into the ref.
KANE turns - From out of nowhere Test looms into the ring and
delivers a jarring Big Boot to the Masked Muscled One! KANE is
felled and rolls out of the ring. Bradshaw comes in and gives
Test the Clothesline From Hell, but William Regal sneaks in and
nails Bradshaw with the brass knuckles - Christian goes for the
leg up - flagging the 
ref who is comes around to pound out
three into the mat. The Uns - now FOUR strong flee the ring and
back up the ramp as the camera rolls over Bradshaw still prone on
the mat, and a recovering KANE on the floor outside the ring.
GREAT match to watch and get into - KANE and Bradshaw should have
wound up with the belts - they basically DESTROYED Storm and
Christian - and without the interference of Test and Regal, would
have had. I can never figure out how Regal and Test get away with
interference - there's never a DQ called when either of them dive
in - but you let KANE jump to, and the bells ringing off the
hook!!!!!
But that's NOT it for Our Loveable Leviathan this night!!!!!
YEEEEEEAH!!!!! . . .
Later~
In the back, Booker talks about what makes this country great.
Goldust comes up in a mouth pieceless plastic KANE mask!!!!,
saying that what makes his country great is 
being able to team up with a man like
Goldust. Goldie is at his best, delivering his trademark promo as
Booker's eyes widen and he tee hees to the side - for behind
Goldie, KANE comes up to stand and listen and watch! The watching
crowd pops WILDLY as Goldie jumps realizing KANE has been there -
looks UP into the bemasked visage and stammers. KANE reaches up
and PLUCKS the mask off, looks from it to Goldie who stutters his
fright. Bradshaw comes up opposite them, beers in hand, and tells
them that it is up to them to beat the UnAmericans tonight. He
says they hve a little time, so why not go an catch some hot
action - who's with him - Booker leers - Goldie gasps and brings
his hand to his mouth as if Bradshaw has uttered some foul word -
KANE and Bradshaw turn their heads to level questioning stares at
Goldie as he tels them he could never! Bradshaw asks again - and
this time KANE slowly raises his hand and says he'll go!!!! The
fans are SCREAMING at this! KANE gets a beer for stepping up. LOL
Booker is fired up now, and says this is what makes this country
great. Only in America can you get a BIG beer-drinking Texan, a
BIG BIG red freak, a gold freak, and the five-time WCW Champion,
all getting together to take in some hot action. Can you dig
it????? Lets go!! They break off leaving the camera's view in
four directions - Booker pops back in and delivers - SUCKAAAAA!
and pops back out with the camera playing on a visibly perplexed
Coached.
