Attendance: 2,547
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tony Schiavone, Stevie Ray
We open with a rapid fire video of everything that has been happening recently. It would be nice if they had more than five seconds per story but we need to get in and out of this in thirty seconds.
Mike Awesome has a Team Canada bus.
Opening sequence.
Tony calls this 2001: the Wrestling Odyssey. Well it certainly is a difficult journey.
Buy a Cat T-Shirt!
Shane Helms vs. Jamie Noble
Cat wants to be the Commissioner again and suggests that Gene Okerlund watch Lassie. Gene thinks he could do things to Miss Jones.
The Harris Twins have been laid out.
AWALL comes in and punches Palumbo a few times, allowing Cajun to powerslam him for two. Cajun gets two more off a back elbow, only to have Chuck do the Chris Jericho springboard dropkick to knock him off the apron. Of course the Thrillers get in some cheap shots on the outside and AWALL is knocked to the floor. The Seanton Bomb puts Cajun away.
The Thrillers lay out the Misfits post match until Chavo tries to make a save. Shane Douglas comes in through the crowd and beats on Rection.
On the bus, Jim Duggan sneaks up on Skipper and attacks because HE NEVER WALKS AWAY FROM A FIGHT. No, apparently he starts them by sneaking up on someone and telling the camera to stay quiet.
The Filthy Animals need to regroup after Konnan got attacked.
Johnny the Bull and Big Vito are talking about their priest when Cat comes up to say he wants to take out Reno tonight so he can put him in soup.
Video on Sarge running the Power Plant.
Lance Storm gives Mike Awesome a match with Duggan tonight, which apparently he can just do.
Rey Mysterio has a plan.
Sid, in different clothes than earlier, is ready for Jeff and is very thankful for his spot.
Crowbar vs. Meng
Mark Jindrak vs. Goldberg
Jindrak actually gets in some offense but gets beaten in just over a minute with the usual.
Goldberg is ready for Luger and Bagwell.
Luger and Bagwell talk to Kronik.
The Cat vs. Reno
Jim Duggan vs. Mike Awesome
Post match the beatdown is on until the Filthy Animals come in for the save. Konnan grabs the mic and tells them to look at the screen, where we see the Team Canada bus covered in graffiti.
After a break, Team Canada says they want to deal with the Animals at Sin instead of calling the cops.
Buff Bagwell vs. DeWayne Bruce
Jeff Jarrett vs. Sid Vicious
