(c) Sanada vs. EVIL for the IWGP World title in a Lumberjack match. Destruction in Ryogoku. EVIL begins with a side headlock. Sanada goes for a drop-down. EVIL stomps on lower back. Sanada tries a standing moonsault, but EVIL moves out of the way. EVIL has his former partner scouted.

EVIL crashes against an exposed turnbuckle. Sanada takes advantage with a back suplex. He picks EVIL up for a Fireman's Carry. A desperate EVIL rakes him in the eyes. Sanada clamps on a Skull End. The bell has rung, but it was House of Torture members who rang it to make Sanada think he's won. Sanada with successive springboard moonsaults. Ref Marty Asami tries to make the count but House of Torture pulls Asami out of the ring before he could count to three. EVIL with a chair shot on a defenseless Sanada. Red Shoes Uno refuses to make the count. Sanada defeats EVIL with a Deadfall.

It should've been over when Sanada hit the springboard moonsault. Instead, the match went on longer than it should've gone. Also, there was way too much interference from the House of Torture.

Last two matches, both from The Ultimate Warrior: Ultimate Collection DVD, The Ultimate Warrior vs Andre the Giant for the I-C Championship first at Madison Square Garden and then at Saturday Night's Main Event. Both subpar matches, the MSG matches lasts less than 30 seconds as Warrior hits a few clotheslines then a splash for the win and the SNME ends with Warrior getting a DQ win after Heenan interferes, but the both matches hold historical significance as the Garden match was the first time Andre had been pinned since WrestleMania III and the only time he was ever pinned at the Garden. The Main Event match would be Andre's last televised singles match of his entire career.

No feeling out process. It was a hardcore match through and through.

The Hart Foundation vs. Davey Boy Smith & Billy Jack Haynes. The Hart Foundation spent much of the time double-teaming Smith, using illegal tactics with the approval of corrupt referee Danny Davis. In a comical moment, Bret falls down, pretending he was hit by an illegal blow from Haynes. Davis admonishes Haynes, who never touched Bret. Smith gets the upper-hand with a sunset flip on Neidhart, but Davis makes a slow count. Davis grabs Haynes so Hart can hit him. Predictably, Haynes ducks and Hart accidentally punches out Davis. Haynes with a Full Nelson submission on Hart. A second ref calls for the bell.

[Finishline]

I'm going through the Ruthless Aggression era and I'm in the middle of a Raw episode

So I just saw the finish of Christian & Jericho versus Booker & Goldust for the World Tag Team Championships


But later tonight, Scott Steiner and Triple H come face-to-face... and "Good Ol" JR is fretting about his tag team match with Jerry Lawler later this evening in Oklahoma.

Scott eventually gets his pump handle, though. Hashimoto does Scott's own signature move, the belly-to-belly, on him. Rick is riled up! Scott lifts Hashimoto up over his shoulders. Rick finishes him off with a Steinerizer (flying Bulldog).

For a fat man, Hashimoto was quick with those thrust kicks. A sign of sportsmanship by Scott when he stood over a fallen Hashimoto to see if he was okay after the match was over.

Hashimoto was built differently.
