Sunday Night Heat

July 18, 2004
Thanks to wrestlinginformer.net



And here we go again!  Its time for the # 3 wrestling show in the world today, Spike TV's own WWE Sunday Night Heat.  Why does this feel like a dejįvu for me today?  Who knows?  Anyway, I'm Doug and this is the Wrestling Informer Sunday Night Heat report.  Heat comes from Manchester, NH tonight.  Calling the action is "The Snowman" Al Snow and "Mr. Personality" Todd Grisham.  Coach is off chasing Diva's somewhere.  By the way, Happy Birthday to "Heat" host Al Snow - he turns 41 today.    Now it's time to get busy and turn up the Heat!
 
Victoria versus Molly Holly
Molly has a nice blonde head of hair tonight, complete with the black chinstrap. She needs to go ahead and go with the Sinead look.  It'd look so much better.  Molly starts off strong with kicks and clubbing blows as she sends Victoria to the floor. She follows and drops Victoria across the ring barrier before giving her a hard elbow back in the ring. Suplex and Molly decides to lock up the arm.  Victoria fights back, but Molly lands the drop toe hold and puts Victoria face first in the corner.  Molly rolls Victoria up twice for two counts.  Victoria fights back again with punches and a backdrop for two.  Molly lands a clothesline, but Victoria rolls her up again and hangs on to get the pin.
Winner: Victoria
 
Molly snaps and gives Victoria a backbreaker.  She goes for a chair, but Victoria's "mystery savior" aka "Drag Queen" Stevie makes the save.  Stevie Richards makes an ugly woman.
 
Tomorrow night on Raw, we get to see lots of Diva's.  Oh joy!
 
We see some clips from Vengeance as Edge takes out Randy Orton and becomes the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.  Cut to Monday night and it's Edge versus Batista.  We join the match in progress.  Both men are down, but Edge is first up with some forearms and a clothesline.  Kick & DDT by Edge for two.  Edge misses a spear and Batista responds with a Spinebuster for a two count.  Edge catches Batista on the ropes and goes to the top rope.  Batista clubs away, but Edge pushes him off.  Missle dropkick by Edge.  He gets another two.  Roll up by Edge and he grabs the ropes for leverage to get the pin on Batista.  Winner: Edge
 
We get treated to a cool little commercial promoting Summerslam with Kurt Angle & Batista.  Not bad, but I like the Eugene-Regal one best.  Spike TV is having a "Viva La Diva Sweepstakes".  Go to http://www.SpikeTV.com for details.
 
Now we see lots of highlights from the WWE Raw Diva Search Casting Special from this past Thursday night.  Lots of girls shake and jiggle as the special judges, Edge, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton & Triple H cut the field down from 25 to 10.  
 
Val Venis versus Chuck Palumbo
Palumbo has a new look. Al compares him to a giant M & M (or is that Eminem?) No matter.  Chuck slaps Val.  Val slaps Chuck.  Chuck slaps Val.  (Cat fight!)  Val uses the forearm shots.  Chuck uses a knee.  Hiptoss by Val.  And we've got a wrestling match in progress.  Palumbo goes to the eyes.  Val clubs away with a snapmare and big kick.  Clothesline by Val.  Kick by Chuck.  Neckbreaker and suplex by Val.  The Money Shot and it's all over as Val picks up the win.  Now that was a total waste of time.
Winner: Val Venis
 
Ric Flair has a story to tell.  It's called "To Be The Man". It's on sale now so go buy it already.  Tomorrow night on Raw, lots of jiggles as the wanna-be Diva's come to visit.
 
WWE REWIND:  From Vengeance, Matt tells Lita that he needs time.  She needs to stay away from the ring.. and him.
 
We see a few more clips from Vengeance as Kane is ready to destroy Matt Hardy. Lita interferes and distracts Kane.  Matt uses a chair and picks up the win.   Now we move to Monday night as Kane & Lita are the guests in the "Highlight Reel". Kane is upset.  Lita  is PO'ed and she's not taking it anymore as she explodes all over Kane.  She's going to do what she wants when she wants and he can't do anything about it.  She insults him, his manhood, and is just in full psycho-bitch mode.  She punks out the Big Red Machine and this whole storyline is finally starting to look interesting as a result.  
 
My favorite Summerslam promo.  Eugene and William Regal go to light the Olympic Torch.  They light the torch and then Eugene lights up Regal as well, catching his arm on fire.  Eugene puts out the flames and then, as they're sitting there, utters those classic words, "Stop, drop and roll!"  Bwah-ha-ha-ha!  I love it!  Great stuff from the WWE.  Oh yeah - and Summerslam will be coming on August 15, 2004. "Stop, drop & roll."  Heh! Heh!
 
We get a brief look at Al & Todd again and then it's back to Monday night.  HHH blames Eugene for costing him the match against Benoit.  Eugene apologizes and looks pitiful.  HHH says they're still friends, but sends Eugene to talk to "Uncle Eric".  Eric plays up to Eugene and gives him a match against Benoit for the title. We move ahead to the match.  Eugene gives Benoit a rock-bottom and covers for the pin, but Benoit makes the ropes.  Eugene thinks he's won the gold.  Here comes Evolution to the ring and they systematically destroy Eugene (and Benoit and William Regal).  Evolution stands tall in the end.  
 
WWE SLAM OF THE WEEK:  From Raw on Monday, Ric Flair takes Hurricane to school and beats him with the figure four.  Wooooooooooo!
 
Randy Orton versus Rosey
I was wondering if Rosey was still a S.H.I.T. but from this match, I see that he is. They lock up and go to the corner.  Rosey lands in the cheap shot, but loses the mask.  Isn't he afraid we might find out his secret identity?  Oh wait, he's a S.H.I.T. so it doesn't matter.  Orton lands a knee and some clubbing forearms.  Rosey splats Orton and sends him to the floor.  Orton snaps Rosey on the neck and hits a picture-perfect dropkick.  Neck vice and then a chinlock by Orton.  Sideslam by Rosey gets two.  The fists begin to fly back and forth.  Rosey hits a clothesline and big kick.  Legdrop by Rosey and he gets two.  Rosey misses a splash in the corner. Orton hits the RKO and gets the pin.
Winner: Randy Orton
