By , About.com Guide


King of the Ring: Booker T w/Sharmell vs Matt Hardy – Before the match goes to commercial break, Matt attempted the twist of fate but Booker threw him to the ropes while Sharmell had the top rope pulled down which made Matt crash to the arena floor. When the match comes back from the break, Sharmell keeps interfering behind the referees back. Booker has control for the next few minutes but can’t pin as he says Matt Hardy will never die. However his dream to become the King died when, thanks to Sharmell’s interference, Booker hit a low blow and the axe kick to get the win. Winner: Booker T

- Birchill and Regal are in the locker room and Regal is dressed in drag again this week (Regal lost a match and is forced to wear what Burchill demands him to). They are teaming together and Regal says that he can’t wrestle with fake knockers. Burchill brings out a giant teddy bear outfit and offers him the opportunity to wear that instead.

Joey Mercury w/Johnny Nitro & Melina vs Paul London w/Brian Kendrick – Two weeks ago London & Kendrick beat MNM in a non title match. Last week, Kendrick pinned London. The tag team partners get involved and Kendrick & London accidentally crash into each other. A cocky Mercury loses his focus and London cradles Mercury to the win. Winner: Paul London

- William Regal is dressed as a female bear and is upset. Burchill has another idea for an outfit.

Chris Benoit & Lashley vs Orlando Jordan & Finlay – It has to be noted that Orlando Jordan is the only man not involved in the King of the Ring tournament. Lashley will be fighting Mark Henry next week and Benoit will be facing Finlay in two weeks. Jordan & Finlay work over Benoit for a few minutes. Benoit makes the hot tag and destroys Orlando Jordan. With Benoit & Finlay fighting outside the ring, Lashley hits the spear and the dominator on Jordan to get the win for his team. Winners: Chris Benoit & Lashley

- William Regal is now dressed as a chicken.

Funaki vs The Great Khali w/Daivari – The announcers talk about the rumors of how The Undertaker’s spirit has been broken by Kahli. I think he is having nightmare remembering his feud with Giant Gonzalez. This match is really short and Kahli His finishing move was picking up Funaki by the throat with both hands and tossing him to the mat. Winner: The Great Kahli

- Regal is now dressed as a giant monkey.

The Gymini vs Paul Birchill & William Regal – Regal is dressed in a ridiculous outfit that seems to be a mockery of the old European styles. In this match, Burchill abandoned his partner. The Gymini hit Regal with the cross trainer. Winners: The Gymini

- The Miz is shown outside the arena and he threatens to crash tonight’s party. Palmer Cannon comes out and has security escort The Miz from the arena.

- JBL’s U.S. Title Celebration: It starts off with Jillian introducing JBL. The party includes a marching band, balloons and a giant inflatable eagle. JBL berates Jillian for having school children in a band do his celebration instead of the NY Philharmonic. He insults the inner city youth and then women in general. He then fires Jillian. JBL then starts insulting Rey Mysterio and says that the only Americans that look up to him are the illegal aliens. He challenges the winner next week’s Mysterio - Kurt Angle match. Angle comes out and says that he is a real American hero because he has won Olympic gold. Mysterio then comes out. The fans start an Eddie chant and JBL says that the fans won’t even chant Rey’s name. He then starts insulting their respect for each other and asks if they are about to swap spit. When he insults the late Eddie Guerrero both men toss him from the ring. The show ends with Angle and Mysterio staring at each other in the ring.
