Dark Match: Rob Van Dam vs. Unknown
Well, the feed comes on just in time to see Rob Van Dam pick up the 1-2-3!
It must have been a great match, judging by the cheering that went on. RVD even bowed to the crowd as he left up the ramp.
I'm going to assume that was a dark match because The Coach and Michael Hayes came down afterwards
WWF Sunday Night HeAT Tapings Results:
The Big Show + Billy Gunn vs. Shawn Stasiak + Chris Kanyon
Well, he's the Big Show, and he's got Billy Bitc-er, Billy Gunn with him as they take on those WCW invaders, Shawn "Don't call me Meat" Stasiak and Chris Kanyon.
Billy lets Big Show take on the taunting Stasiak, but Shawn knocks Billy off the apron, allowing the WCWers to double team the big man.
When Teddy comes back to check, Show knocks Kanyon away and clotheslines Shawn down. Headbutt followed by an elbow drop by Show, and a tag to Billy.
Billy pounds away in the corner, but Shawn back elbows him and tags in Kanyon. Nice standing dropkick by Billy and an armdrag. Kanyon starts thrusting the shoulder into Billy's stomach and then hits a Russian legsweep, followed with three elbow drops 1-shoulder up. Tag to Shawn.
Stomps in the corner by Shawn, and a choke with his boot. Billy fights up and out, but Shawn puts him in a sleeper. Show runs in and nails Shawn from behind, and both men fall to the ground. Tag to Show.
Show runs in and manhandles Kanyon, then starts crushing Shawn in the corners. Billy takes Kanyon to the outside, while Show picks up Shawn like he's going to powerbomb him, but falls backwards, slamming Shawn's head to the mat 1-2-3!
K-Kwik vs. Billy Kidman (Cruiserweight Title)
Kwik makes his way down the stage, getting the crowd to make some noise and get rowdy. Kidman comes down next, and it appears that this will be for the WCW Cruiserweight Title.
Kidman starts with some elbows and then a headscissor takedown. Dropkick by Kidman. Kwik ducks a clothesline and hits a jumping calf kick 1-shoulder up 1-kickout
Stomps in the corner by Kwik, who then hoists himself on the ropes and "runs" all over Kidman. Flying forearm by Kwik 1-2-kickout
Kwik locks in a sleeper and then slams Kidman down to the mat. Kidman grabs Kwik by the legs and catapults him onto the ropes, but holds on to his legs and Kwik falls backwards right onto Kidman's knees. Ouch. Nice missile dropkick by Kidman and a sitdown powerbomb 1-2-shoulder up.
Reverse russian legsweep by Kwik 1-2-kickout. Kwik goes up top, but Kidman 'buckles him. Kidman goes up with the fallen Kwik and hurricanranas him down 1-2-shoulder up!

Crash Holly vs. Perry Saturn
Crash marches down to the ring first. Then Perry Saturn, mop and all comes down. He stops on the ramp, picks the mop up in one arm and Terri in the other and carries them both to the ring.
As Perry helps Terri out of the ring, Crash attacks from behind to start out. Crash hits a really weird running DDT, but Perry comes back with a clothesline. Hard shoulder thrusts by Saturn and a flapjack. Perry runs at Crash, but Crash sidesteps and Perry goes flying out.
On the outside, as Perry is chekced on by Terri, Crash grabs him and whips him into the steps. Suplex by Crash. Crash rolls Perry into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. Missile dropkick by Crash 1-2-kickout.
Exchange of punches, followed with a Crash headscissor take down. Clothesline by Crash 1-2-shoulder up 1-2-shoulder up.
Crash gets out of a tilt a whirl, but Perry clotheslines him down, and then again. Perry rams Crash, chest first into the turnbuckles and then goes up top, but misses the splash. Crash goes for a sunset flip 1-2-shoulder up.
Crash takes Perry down in the corner and pins, but Perry gets to the ropes. Crash argues with the ref, allowing Perry to get up and superkick Crash. Kick to the chest followed up with the twisted fisherman's suplex 1-2-3!
After the win, Terri runs in to hug Perry, but Perry ducks her and grabs the mop. Terri tries to take the mop, but Perry wrestles it away and then starts running around the ring, hoisting the mop in the air. Oh, that crazy Trowser.
Justin Credible vs. Albert
Justin Credible, now with his own music and ECW-themed entrance video comes out to take on his former X-Factor teammate, Albert. There isn't any mention of the IC Title, so lets assume it's not on the line.
As Albert enters the ring, Credible exists and begs Albert to come get him. Albert leaves the ring, and Credible gets in, allowing him to jump ALbert when he returns. Unfortunately for Justin, his punches don't phase the big man, who man handles Credible around the ring, finally hitting a gorrilla press slam.
Credible begs for forgiveness and extends his hand, but Albert says that he should have never turned his back on X-Factor. Hard snapmare by Albert, who then grabs one of Credible's legs, allowing JC to hit an enziguri. Credible runs at Albert, but the big man back body drops Credible over the top and to the outside.
On the outside, Albert goes to ram JC into the post, but JC slips away and sends Albert headfirst into the steel. Back in the ring, Albert pushes away JC, but Credible keeps coming back with punches. Credible clotheslines Albert, but it doesn't take the big man down. He goes for another, but Albert hits a back elbow to knock him down.
Clothesline by Albert, splash in the corner and a powerslam 1-2-kickout. Credible rests on the ropes. Albert runs at him for the ax kick, but Credible ducks and Albert gets stuck on the ropes. Superkick by JC 1-2-kickout.
Credible goes up top while Albert shakes off his previous groin-to-rope incident. Credible comes off, looking for an ax handle smash, but Albert catches him and gives him the Baldo Bomb 1-2-3!
As the ring was being changed to its SmackDown! attire, none other than Birmingham's own Debra came out on the stage. She said it was great to be home and introduced Lillian, who gave yet another great performance of the National Anthem.
Also, just so you guys hear it first, Michael Cole's partner for SmackDown! will be...
Wait for it...wait for it...
Good Ol' JR, Jim Ross
WWF SmackDown! Tapings Results:
We start with video of last nights Storm/Awesome vs. Kane/Jericho match, which was of course the setting of Paul Heyman and the Ol' Gang revealing the recreation of ECW. The video continues with Shane convincing Vince that he'll be responsable for the Main Event, and the ensuing 10 on 10 match becoming 15 on 5, and then the final bombshell being dropped, with Shane announce Steph as the owner of ECW.
Earlier tonight, Vince met with the Undertaker and tried to shake his hand, but it didn't happen. Vince says that he gave Taker what we wanted: Shane and DDP. And even though he didn't want Angle as a partner, he has that too. And in return, Vince needs Taker on Team WWF. Taker agrees. Vince asks how Sara is, and Taker gets that calm anger look on his face. He says that he never wants Vince to say her name again. Someone will go for the Last Ride tonight, and if Vince pisses him off, it might be him.
The SmackDown! video rolls and the pyros explode. Michael Cole welcomes us, and his new broadcast partner Jim Ross announces the Shane/DDP vs. Angle/Taker match.
Here Comes The Money! Shane'O Mac comes out, with all of his WCW friends, come down the ramp and into the ring.
Shane says that tonight, in this very ring, WCW will show its dominance. Tonight it's DDP and he taking on the WWF's Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, and Sara's husband, The Undertaker.
But let's go back to Monday. They shocked the world. No one saw it coming. The merger went down, as ECW hooked up with WCW. And at Invasion, this entity will kick the WWF's ass. But he doesn't get all the credit. Being accompanied by Mr. Paul Heyman, give it up for Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley!
Steph comes out with Paul to the new ECW entrance video, and following them to the ring are the ECW troops. All the troops hit the ring, and we get quite the celebration.
Heyman says that, by now, it's common knowledge that Vince and the WWF stole all of ECW's concepts, it's attitude, it's talent, and it's television deal, running them out of business. So if Vince wants to take everything from Paul's life, he'll take everything from Vince's. What did Paul take? He took Vince's children. While Vince called up Heyman and got him to sit next to the pig that is Jim Ross, Heyman was busy feeding Shane his information. Yes, Paul Heyman was the mole all along. But that wasn't enough. What more could he take? Daddy's Little Girl. And what would make Steph desert her father? Power. Just as Vince told his father, Steph is ready to tell her dad, move out of the way, or we'll crush you.
Steph gets on the mic and says that yes, it's all about the power. She and her brother have the power to run Vince and the WWF out of business. You see, Shane was smart enough to buy WCW, and she had the money to buy ECW. But can you blame them for wanting to hurt Vince? Their Vince's children, but they're better than he is. It's simple evolution: children are smarter, stronger and faster. And even though children usually outlive their parents, they just couldn't wait for him to die. So they joined forces and together, WCW and ECW will run Vince and the WWF out of business forever.
In the back, Regal and Tajiri are watching. Regal tells Tajiri, that if it weren't for Vince, there wouldn't be sports-entertainment, there wouldn't be WCW or ECW. He tells Tajiri that his decision to stay with WWF is the right one, and to show his happiness, he'll grant Tajiri anything he wants. Tajiri "tells" Regal that he wants to be the commentator for SmackDown. Regal says that Tajiri does have a lovely speaking voice, and tells Tajiri to go out there and make him proud. Fade Out.
Tazz vs. Hardcore Holly; Stone Cold Has The Answer
In the back, Vince gets a knock on his door, and Stone Cold and Debra enter. Vince says that he's down in the dumps. His kids turned against him. Austin says that Vince still has ol' Stone Cold. Austin says he has something that will help us all. It will take away the Invasion, it'll bring back his kids, it'll solve all his problems. Austin says that he'll be right back.
In the arena, Tajiri comes down and takes a seat with Jim Ross and Michael Cole. JR asks if Tajiri knows any english. Tajiri: "So-so...ah, business is about to...pick up".
Taz's music hits and the former commentator comes to the ring. Hardcore comes down to get payback from getting the Tazmission last night.
Holly attacks Taz from behind and smacks him around in the corner. Clothelsine by Holly, then a vertical suplex. Tajiri: "ah...oh my god...rocket buster...barbecue sauce".
Meanwhile, Hardcore tosses Taz to the outside and goes after him. Chops by Holly, who rolls Taz back in the ring. Scoop slam by Holly, and a leg drop 1-2-kickout.
Tajiri: "Slobknocker! Slobknocker!". Holly starts clubbing away and Taz and chokes him in the corner. Big boot by Taz, and he locks him the Tazmission on the stunned Holly. Taz gets the win.
Taz rolls out of the ring and walks over to Tajiri. Tajiri stands up to him, and Taz starts wailing away on Tajiri, before locking in the Tazmission.
In the back, Vince asks Debra how Austin can put an end to this all. Vince says he'd like Paul Heyman's head on a stick. Austin comes in with his answer: an acoustic guitar.
Ever since Austin was a little kid, his dad would break out the ol' guitar whenever he had a problem. The words and music made him forget about his problems. The WWF's going belly up, Vince is losing his hair, his son and daughter have stabbed him in the back... but once he gives Vince the gift of music, he'll forget all those problems. Austin starts singing Vince "Kumbaya", but it only serves to make Vince more mad. Vince then asks if Vince knows Queen, because he rewrote one of their songs. Austin starts singing "I am the champion! I am the champion!". Fade Out.
Lance Storm vs. Chris Jericho; Angle Tries To Cheer Vince Up
Lance comes down the ramp and into the ring. He says that the WWF fans may be used to all the cartoon characters and the pyros and bells and whistles. Well, he's no cartoon character. He needs no beels and whistles. And he'll prove it my dismantling...
2.00...1.00...0.00...BOOM!
The Ayatollah comes out on the ramp, microphone in hand. Lance isn't a cartoon character. He's more like a movie character. A character known as: Forrest Gump. Well, Forest, my momma always said: Will you Please Shut The Hell Up! And after what happened on Raw, he's going to get even.
Jericho runs in the ring and takes Storm down, but Storm gets up and leaps from the top, hitting a flying clothesline. Storm smashes Jericho's head into the mat. Storm ducks the enzigrui and locks in the Half Crab, but Jericho gets to the ropes. Brainbuster by Storm, who goes up top, only for Jericho to jump up and armdrag Storm off the top.
Nick Patrick implements the count, but both men get up by seven. Chops by Jericho and a big back body drop. Bulldog by Jericho, who goes for the Lionsault, but Storm gets the knees up again. Superkick by Storm 1-2-shoulderup.
Storm rolls a running Jericho into the Half Crab, but Jericho rolls up Storm into the Walls of Jericho and Storm taps out! That brings tonight's score to: WWF-1 ECWCW-1
In the back, Kurt Angle enters Vince's room as Austin is singing Camptown Racers. Austin says that it's obvious that Kurt is jealous of his relationship with Vince, his voice, and his ability to play the guitar. Angle says that not only was he in the Glee Club, but he's a master of the ukelele. Austin gives Angle the guitar. Just as Angle is about to start, Austin starts faking a cough. Angel goes into a stirring rendition of Jimmy Crack Corn which is so bad it causes Vince to storm out. Fade Out
Jeff/Trish/Lita/Matt; Who's The Real Awesome One?; Vince and Team WWF Pledge Unity
In the back, Trish is explaining to Jeff that she was just caught up in the moment on Raw. Matt and Lita come up. Lita says that she has no problem with them tagging at Invasion, but they have personal problems, and she'd like to settle them in the ring.
In the staff room, Mike Awesome comes up to the federation sewer and says that he needs new pants. He wants them to say "Awesome" on one side, and "Awesome" on the other so that everyone knows that he is the Awesome One.
In the back, Edge and Christian are watching Awesome on the tv in disgust. Edge wonders if his royal ears decieve him. Did some chumpstain just call himself Awesome?
In the back, Vince has Team WWF assembled. They consist of Jericho, Kane, Undertaker, Austin, and Angle. Whether they like each other or not, it doesn't matter. They're going into Invasion. They're going into it with both ECW and WCW breathing down their neck. They need to be unified, and function as one unit. He needs commitment from each of them that they will be unified, support each other, and that they will kick WCW and ECW's collective asses. They all give their words. United they stand, divided they fall, so let's stand tall. Fade Out.
"No Chances" hits and WWF Chairman Vince McMahon comes down to the ring. Allow him to introduce to the fans: the greatest WWF Champion of all time; the man who will lead Team WWF into Invasion. Ladies and gentlemen: Stone Cold Steve Austin
The glass breaks, and the WWF Champion makes his way to the ring, to a nice pop. Vince tells Ausitn that they say that since WrestleMania, Austin has changed. He's changed so much that the anti-authority poster boy has become a brown noser. Vince says that Austin has changed: as a WWF Champion, he's changed for the better.
But as we go to Invasion, perhaps we need another change. We don't need the Leader of Team WWF being the Stone Cold that gives hugs, that sings songs, that gives cowboy hats. He needs the Old Stone Cold. He needs the Stone Cold who's a beer-swilling, foul-mouthed SOB. The Stone Cold who don't take no shit from anybody. The hellraising Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Austin who would look at Mr. McMahon and would knock him on his ass if he had his hair parted the wrong way. He needs The Old Stone Cold to lead Team WWF into Invasion. He feels that Austin wants to knock him on his ass right now. If you want Stone Cold to beat the living hell out of Vince McMahon, give him a hell yeah. Crowd: "Hell Yeah!"
But Austin shakes his head 'no' and walks out of the ring. Head down, Austin makes his way up the ramp as Vince pleads for Austin to come back. He needs Austin. He needs a Stunner! But Austin just walks off into the back. Fade Out
Vince/Angle; Kane vs. Rhyno
During the break, Stone Cold and Debra packed up their things and walked on out of the building.
In the back, Angle runs up to Vince and wants to know where he's going. Vince says that he's going to find Stone Cold. Angle wants Vince to stay for his match, but Vince says that he needs Austin to lead Team WWF into Invasion. Angle says that he can do it, but Vince says that he will find Austin and will make him the Old Stone Cold again.
BOOM! The flames ignite, and Team WWF Member Kane comes down to the ring. Rhyno comes down and immediately attacks Kane.
Clubs to the back by Kane, followed up with a clothesline. Shots in the corner by Kane, followed by a splash in the corner. Kicks by Kane, but Rhyno gets in a back elbow, only to be powerslammed down. Kane goes up top, but Rhyno jumps up and tosses Kane from the top to the outside.
On the outside, Rhyno tosses Kane into the barrier. Back in the ring, Rhyno starts pounding away on Kane and hits a running stomp on Kane twice 1-2-shoulder up.
Kane starts firing back with right hands and a back elbow. Clothesline by Kane, who then starts stomping away on Rhyno. Sidewalk slam by Kane, who again goes up top, and this time connects with the flying clothesline.
Kane tosses Rhyno into the corner, and inadvertanly, the ref. Rhyno ducks a clothesline, and Kane nails Chioda. Rhyno rolls up Kane and grabs the tights, but Chioda is out. Nick Patrick runs down and quick counts the 1-2-3!
Tajiri/Regal/Hebner; Lita vs. Trish
In the back, Regal is telling Tajiri that he can get his revenge at Invasion, because he is signing a Tajiri vs. Taz match. Earl Hebner comes in and says that Regal wants to see him. Regal demands to know how he can let Nick Patrick cost Kane that match. Hebner asks what he can do. Regal tells him that he can take his referee friends, kick down Nick Patrick's door and demand a match with him at Invasion and then kick his ass.
In the arena, Lita comes down, all alone. Poor Lita. Then Trish comes down, also alone. Poor Trish. These two are teammates at Invasion, but their opponents tonight, in an attempt to settle their personal differences.
Lita pushes Trish away, so Trish slaps her. Clothesline by Lita, and the Hardys are watching in the back. Lita goes up and implements the 10 Punch on Trish, but stomps at six to toss Trish out of the ring. Trish guillotines Lita and comes in the ring. Suplex by Trish 1-2-kickout.
Kicks by Trish, followed up with some stomps. Trish grabs Lita and goes up top where she chokes Lita in the air, then follows up with a bulldog 1-2-shoulder up
Speak by Lita, who goes with some mounted punches. Kick to the stomach by Lita and the Twist of Fate. Lita goes up top rope and hits the moonsault 1-2-3! How that settles differences, I don't know.
In the back, Matt applauds Lita's win and Jeff applauds Trish's effort. Who comes up behind them but Stacey Keibler and Torrie Wilson. They each take a Hardy boy, whisper in their ears and kiss them. We cut back to the arena, where both Lita and Trish are now steaming mad. Fade Out
Video of The Acolytes winning the Tag Titles
Video of Shane turning heel, and then Sara's receiving the Diamond Cutter

Awesome goes up top for the Frog Splash, but Jeff rolls away in time. Jeff attacks, but Awesome hits a belly-belly suplex. He sets the ladder up in the corner and goes to powerbomb Jeff into it, when Edge and Christian run down with chairs.
Edge knocks Jeff out of the hold and then they hit Awesome with the ConChairTo! Jeff goes up top and hits the Swanton 1-2-3! Jeff Hardy brings the Hardcore Title back to the WWF!
In the back, the four remaining members of Team WWF are set up together. Taker tells Kane and Jericho that he's sure Shane will bring his guys, so they need to watch their backs. Angle says that when Vince and Austin are gone, he's the captain. Jericho mutters "yeah, Captain Assclown". Taker stares down Angle, who relinquishes power to Taker, and they head off to the ring. Fade Out
Main Event: Shane+DDP vs. Angle+Undertaker
Kurt Angle makes his way down to the ring, followed by his partner, who comes down, sans motorcycle.
Here comes the Money! Shane'O Mac comes out but smartly stops on the ramp, waiting for his partner. Yo, it's he, it's he, it's D-D-P! Page comes out and they get in some last strategy. They run to the ring, but DDP pulls up and doesn't enter, while Shane does and starts this match getting manhandled, double team style. Angle hits an overhead belly-belly 1-2-shoulder up. Taker slaps Austin and makes him tag out. Taker drags Shane to the corner and demands that Page tag in, but DDP stays away.

Shane fires punches, but only make Taker angry. Taker picks Shane up and gives him the Last Ride. Angle puts DDP in the AngleLock, but DDP pulls him off to get some.
Suddenly, the ECWCW stars hit the ring. As the DQ Bell sounds, Angle and Taker manage to take care of them. Even more ECWCWers come from another part of the ring and all gang up on Angle on the outside. Taker looks to one side to see DDP, and sees the gang beating of Angle on the other. He goes off the ropes and dives onto the ECWCWers!
But it's not enough. The ECWCWers take control and begin beating on Taker and Angle. Jericho and Kane run down to try to even up the score, even though it's about 10 on 2. The Dudleys run down from the back and add their services, and Team WWF is geting their asses handed to them.
Heyman comes out and watches from the ramp as the ECWCWers take the four WWF members into the ring. 3-D to Angle. Double superkick to Jericho. Gore to Rhyno. They pick Taker up for DDP to take down, but Taker grabs Page in a chokehold, only to be beaten down by the seemingly endless amount of ECWCWers. Steph comes down and she, Shane and Paul raise arms as their men celebrate in the ring. End Show
Take Care,

Live Notes from the WWF SmackDown! Tapings
newslines.theMAYHEM.com
Posted by Samir Nurmohamed (24.102.138.62) on 7/11/01
Thanks to Michael Bryant for sending in the following:
Hey just got back from Smackdown and it was one hell of a show. Anyway I was reading the spoilers and I noticed the dark matches were a little screwed up. In Rob Van Dam's match he faced Johnny the Bull and before that Shannon Moore and Evan Karagious faced Kaz and Yun Yang with Kaz and Yun Yang coming out on top. I can't believe they did not have any unknowns in the dark matches.
All in all it was a great show and it was the best show to ever come to Birmingham. All the seats that were not covered were sold. Which makes you think they will sell more tickets next time. As for the main event, it was no where near as good as people expected, because Shane was in the whole match and DDP acted like a wuss. In the end everyone was expecting Austin to come out but it didn't happen. I guess we will find out something on Raw.
Biggest Pops
1. Austin (after Vince wanted him to go back to the old Austin and give him the stunner.)
2. Tie: Rob Van Dam and Undertaker
3. The Big Show (Don't Know Why)
4. Billy Gunn (Don't Know Why)
5. Tie: Billy Kidman and K-Kwik
Most Heat
1. Shane McMahon
2. Paul Heyman
3. Vince (before he told Austin to stun him)
4. Stephanie
5. Tie: All of WCW/ECW
Best Match
Tie: Rob Van Dam vs.Johnny the Bull and Jericho vs. Lance Storm
Worst Match
Crash vs. Saturn
Like I said it was a great show but the strangest thing that happened was when Austin would not come back and give the stunner, a huge Rocky chant broke out.

*SMACKDOWN! SPOILERS* | for the 7/12/01 episode - WILL - Jul 13, 2001
Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky (Finish the fucking film and come back Rocky!)
