Borash is out of commentary and holy shit is it annoying. Russo in NY Giants gear pulls a bat out and beats Booker down initially. I don’t know why Booker didn’t see that coming. MIA and Awesome are blocking the door. Some more fake bat shots. Russo is dominating which is absurd. Russo cuts off a patch of the roof of the cage and Sting has to repel down to prevent Russo from escaping. Lets think about this that the ENTIRE face roster is having to intervene to give Booker a chance against Vince Russo. Luger emerges and hands Russo the fakest lead pipe you have ever seen. That gives Vinny Roo the advantage again. The EMT’s come to check on Booker and one removes his cap to show Ric Flair complete with 1991 haircut and all. Flair applies the figure four and again Booker needs to be bailed out. The NBT’s all run out and we have a brawl on the outside of the cage to no reaction. Axe Kick, Spinarooni and the side kick for Booker. Russo is out and Booker decides to get on the mic as Goldberg’s music starts up. That freezes Booker in his tracks for some fucking reason. Goldberg goes into the cage but Scott Steiner slammed the door shut. Goldberg then spears Russo through the cage in one of the more contrived finishes you will ever see and they sign off the air. What a shit sandwich. DUD

Vince Russo looks like he’s about to take part in an American Football contest with the amount of padding and protection he’s wearing. After Booker makes his entrance, a bunch of lower/mid-card level talent (Filthy Animals, M.I.A., Jung Dragons, Mike Awesome, Kwee Wee etc.) head down to ringside to watch this from up close. Russo pulls a rubber baseball bat out of his trousers and starts laying into Booker. The rules of the cage match are first man out wins, so with Booker down Vinnie Ru immediately looks to try and exit, only to find the doorway blocked by member of M.I.A. and ‘the Filthy Animals’. More baseball bat shots, but it is so obvious that the bat is made out of rubber with the sound it makes when it connects! As the door is a ‘no go’, he pulls some ladders from under the ring and is going to escape via the roof when Sting drops down from the ceiling, cutting that option off. I’m guessing Russo must’ve fallen off the ladder as he’s now collapsed in the ring, although we missed seeing what happened due to the camera focussing on Sting. Booker throws Russo into the cage and is just pummelling him. Lex Luger arrives through the crowd and passes him another rubber bat. He’s back swinging and even clobbers referee Mickey Jay with it. That leads to a couple more officials entering the cage, along with some EMT’s, to check on him. Tough guy Russo is now attacking the EMT’s, when one of them turns out to be Ric Flair is disguise. ‘The Naitch’ gets a sizeable pop and briefly puts Russo in the Figure Four before hi fiving Booker and going on his merry way. The ‘Natural Born Thrillers’ are out to try and help Vinnie Ru, but they can’t get past all the wrestlers who are already out there and an almighty brawl takes place. Axe kick by Booker, Harlem side kick and Russo can barely get to his feet. As Booker is about to leave the cage, Goldberg’s music plays and that has the power of freezing men on the spot it would seem! Booker just waits by the cage door waiting for Goldberg to enter, and when he does try to leave, Scott Steiner has appeared out of the blue and slams the cage door in his face. That doesn’t have much effect though as Booker superkicks it into him. Goldberg is stalking Russo inside the cage, and when Booker is finally about to step out of it, a split second before he does Goldberg spears Russo through the cage wall. The commentators are unsure who won, Tony Schiavone thinks Booker did, but Madden thinks Russo. We’ll have to tune in to Thunder to find out...

 

So Vince Russo with the odds stacked against him becomes World champion. I said after how he booked himself against Ric Flair that Russo’s ego was out of control, and here, facing the current World champion, with at least ten of his enemies on the outside to prevent any of his allies from helping, with Sting dropping in, being attacked and briefly put in the Figure Four by Ric Flair and speared by Goldberg, he overcomes it all! Remember, this isn’t even a wrestler we’re talking about but a writer, something that we’ve so openly been told in the last month. I enjoyed the Flair surprise return, but they wasted that and a Lex Luger cameo on this? You could argue that Russo didn’t look strong the way he actually won the title, however he should have been nowhere near a match like this in the first place. Just f*ck off, take your rubber baseball bat with you and never darken a wrestling company again.

So stupid on so many levels that have already pretty much been pointed out. Just like the Wargames match, Russo should never be able to walk into a cage and start dominating Booker T or any wrestler just because of a baseball bat or some other weapon. Russo literally dominates as the entire roster conspires against him and cuts him off at the pass to allow champion Booker T a hope of not being overwhelmed here. Ludicrous. Logically, Booker T not walking out of the cage is one of the dumbest things a person could ever do. Just trash on so many levels. Russo did take a pretty nasty fall taking that spear out of the cage.
