WWE CHAMPIONSHIP – TEXAS BULL ROPE MATCH
–Eddie Guerrero (c) vs. John Bradshaw Layfield
Winner & NEW WWE Champion: John Bradshaw Layfield
– For those who don’t know, the rules of the match is that one of the competitors must touch all four corners in order to win the match. Some of the highlights of the match saw Guerrero hit a big chairshot on JBL, causing him to get busted open. JBL gave Guerrero a big powerbomb through the spanish announce table (which didn’t break right away). The match ended when both Guerrero and JBL touched three corners each and worked their way to the fourth. Guerrero whipped JBL with the bell and then rammed him. As a result, JBL hit the corner with his back first and then Guerrero slapped the corner with his hand. SmackDown GM Kurt Angle came out and had a replay show that JBL’s shoulder touched the turnbuckle pad first before Guerrero slapped it. The ruling is that John Bradshaw Layfield is your new WWE Champion. Guerrero fell to the corner frustrated as a bloody JBL celebrated.
CONCRETE CRYPT HANDICAP MATCH
(If The Undertaker doesn’t “do the ring thing” as advised by Paul Heyman, a cement truck will be ready to fill a glass crypt with Paul Bearer inside)
–The Undertaker vs. The Dudley Boyz
Winner: The Undertaker
– Before the match started, they showed Paul Bearer locked in the glass “crypt” when Paul Heyman poured some cement into the box to show what he will do. Bubba Ray Dudley demanded The Undertaker lay down for them, but he refused and the match started. Throughout the match, Heyman poured cement into the box and eventually stopped at the request of Bubba Ray so they could finish the match and could do whatever he wanted at the conclusion. The match ended when The Undertaker gave Bubba Ray a chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver to D-Von for the win.
After the match, Paul Heyman tried to pull the lever to fill up the rest of the glass crypt with cement when a lightning bolt stuck in the arena and the lights went out. Undertaker walked up to Bearer, kneeled and bowed to him. He then got on the mic saying, “Paul, I have no other choice. Rest in peace.” Undertaker pulled the lever and cement filled the glass crpyt as the show came to a finish.
