WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku vs. World Wrestling Federation Light Heavyweight Championship I care not what you say, nobody was hotter than Sunny back in the day.
Looking pretty in pink, the ever-delightful Sunny came down to the ring to provide guest commentary for our next match. The distraction allowed the Headbangers to do the old-switcharoo and win the match, not that anybody cared, or even noticed. This distracted Mero and MansonDust, who had actually been getting on quite well in some kind of Odd Couple double act. Together, Mero and MansonDust teamed up to take on Mosh and Thrasher in a match which, fun though it was, existed solely to serve as a backdrop to the rivalry between Sable and Luna.Īfter an enjoyable opener which saw Thrasher get busted open (Attitude Era = Blood), Sable returned to the ring to resume the argument she'd been having with Luna before the match (and on that week's episode of Raw). Meanwhile, Luna's man The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust was supposed to be imitating Marilyn Manson, but actually bore an uncanny resemblance to Manson's on-again-off-again bassist, Twiggy Ramirez. The ever-stunning Sable had accompanied Marc Mero to the ring but, playing up the heel gimmick in which he was supposedly jealous of his wife's popularity, Mero had sent her to the back, claiming that there was only room for one beautiful woman at ringside, and Luna Vachon was it. Marvellous Marc Mero & The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust (w/ Luna Vachon) vs. JR's broadcast colleague, Jerry 'The King' Lawler added that D-Generation-X would have a hard time finding any replacement on the same level of HBK (and man, would they ever!), and with that, it was onto our opening match. Ross informed us that Shawn Michaels wouldn't be competing in tonight's big eight Man main event (he was recuperating from the injury he suffered when he landed awkwardly on the casket in a match with The Undertaker at Royal Rumble 98) and that because that match was likely to be so intense, it had also been turned into an anything-goes, no holds barred affair. That took us to the opening pyro, shots of a truly rabid crowd, and a welcome from Jim Ross. Tonight, we'd see all those men, and more, at No Way Out of Texas. Our show tonight began with the usual video package, this one telling us that whilst the road to glory often meant making sacrifices and generally being a good guy fighting for what's right, renegades like Stone Cold Steve Austin, the New Age Outlaws, Cactus Jack, and Chainsaw Charlie had managed to make it to the top by being defiant, crazy, and a bunch of badasses.
