Josh Spicer's Rebooking - WWE 2003-2005: Ruthless Aggression

Big Show (C) vs. Hardcore Holly

Winner: Big Show at 10:41

Result: Holly doesn't waste time and takes it to Show in the middle of his entrance. The two battle around ringside with Holly using a chair to beat Show down. Eventually, Show hits a boot that takes Holly down. Show uses his throws and power to send Holly around ringside. Show throws the padding off the floor and goes for a Chokeslam. Holly kicks Show in the balls and whacks him in the face with a chair. This takes the two men up the ramp. Holly climbs up on a barricade and hits a bulldog to Show onto the ramp for a two count. Holly uses the chair and beats Show back towards the stage. Once the two get there, Show starts begging Holly off. Holly whacks Show in the head again and goes for a Full Nelson. Show overpowers him and tosses him into the stage design. Show gets Holly up in a military press and goes for a throw off the stage. Holly gets down and starts throwing right hands. Eventually, Holly backs up and goes for a move, but Show catches him in a goozle. He then hits a Chokeslam off the stage to Holly. Show climbs down and pins Holly for the three.

------------------

Before the next match, we get an interview with John Cena and Josh Matthews, the former of whom promises that he will be exiting the Rumble tonight the winner, but he is interrupted by Rob Van Dam who says that he is going to be the winner. Cena is confused, but finishes his rap.

After that, Jonathan Coachman comes out to join JR and King on commentary. JR and Coach are at each other's throats, but King and Coach are fairly amicable.

Evolution (Batista and Ric Flair) (C) vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-von Dudley)

Winners: Evolution at 10:29

Result: The match is given a bit more time, so the four men use the tables a bit more, but otherwise the match is virtually the same as in real life. The end comes when Coach gets off commentary to head ringside. The Dudleys go for a 3D to Flair through a table, but Coach catches him and pulls him out of the ring. D-von sees this and grabs Coach, going for a punch, but Flair low blows D-von from behind. In the ring, Bubba goes for a Bubba Bomb to Batista, but he overpowers him and clotheslines him hard. After a Spinebuster, Batista nails a Batista Bomb to Bubba through the table to claim the victory and retain the titles.

After the match, Coach announces Evolution as the winners as they make their way to the back.

------------------
Before the next match, we go backstage where Garrison Cade, Mark Jindrak, La Resistance, Lance Storm, Maven, Val Venis, and Johnny Nitro are all outside of Eric Bischoff's office. They are all shouting and arguing. Eric opens the door and yells at them to stop. He tells them that he is focused on the Rumble Match tonight and guaranteeing that Raw comes out the winner. They each start shouting again, and Eric tells them that if they want to fight, then fine. They will face off in a Fatal 4-way Tag Match...tonight! And the winner faces Evolution tomorrow night on Raw for the World Tag Team Titles.

Before the next match, we see a seat ringside. JR and King say it's reserved for Mick Foley. JR is steadfast that Foley will show up, but King is adamant that he's a coward.

Triple H (C) vs. Shawn Michaels

Winner: Draw at 23:05

Result: It's the same match as real life, which makes my job easier. HHH hits a Pedigree to Shawn, who gets up at a 9. HBK then hits Sweet Chin Music to HHH. HBK tries to get up before a 9, but he can't, and Earl Hebner calls it, with neither man winning, much to the crowd's absolute displeasure.

Afterwards, HHH is sent back on a stretcher. It looks like HBK is going to also go back that way, but he fights against it, and hobbles to the back despite the pain.

------------------
Before the next match, we get a video package detailing the Rumble match itself and some build to it, featuring "Nothing Left to Lose" by Puddle of Mudd.

After that, we head back to ringside where Tazz is joined by JR. The Fink looks like he's ready to start things off when Eric Bischoff comes out. Eric again repeats that Raw will demolish SmackDown! and walk away from the Rumble with the main event of WrestleMania. He starts to insult Heyman a bit until Paul himself comes out. Paul admonishes Eric and says that SmackDown! will repeat things and walk out of the Rumble as a winner. Paul insults Eric, telling him that WCW failed twice to beat WWE, what makes him think he can beat Paul Heyman's SmackDown!? Eric responds by telling Paul that during that Invasion, Paul had the biggest superstar ever as their champion...and still lost. The two look like they're about to come to blows until Steve Austin comes out. He tells them that they are delaying the Rumble for these fans. He then tries to get to the bottom of this and get a fair judge of things before making a decision as the Sheriff of Raw. Both men blame the other, so Austin hits a Stunner to Eric. Paul laughs at Eric and Steve joins with him before hitting a Stunner to Paul. Austin celebrates a bit before heading to the back on his ATV.

While the ring crew changes the canvas and cleans up around ringside, we head to the deepest corners of the arena. Goldberg is staring a mirror. We never see his face head-on as a single light shines on him. He breathes heavy and gets ready to enter last. Suddenly, the light above him flickers. Goldberg looks around. When the light stops flickering and remains solid, Goldberg looks at the mirror and smiles maliciously.

We then head to the locker room where Hulk Hogan is giving an interview with Terri Runnels. Hulk says that he's going to walk away as the winner tonight on behalf of all of the Hulkamaniacs pullin for him, brother. He is interrupted by Lesnar, who tells Terri she should be giving this interview to him, who beat Page tonight to retain his World Heavyweight Title. The two talk about the last time they met at Survivor Series. And that since then, Hulk has proven his point that he is a relic. Hogan tells Lesnar that he's kept his title close, but the target's gotten bigger, and soon, he'll realize just how vulnerable he is, brother. Hulk looks over Brock's shoulder and says "isn't that right, Holly?" Brock turns around and looks nervous. He scans the room and the nearby hallway for a bit. He looks back at Hulk, who is laughing. Brock looks pissed. Hogan tells Lesnar "you know...some people...and I say some people...have the guts to call Mick Foley a coward? I don't think so."

Speaking on that, JR and Tazz talk about Foley as we see the still empty seat in the front row. Tazz calls JR out, saying that he said if Foley wouldn't show up, he'd call him a coward. JR eats his words, and openly calls Foley a coward. Tazz is pleased, and the two try to get past that moment of tension. Tazz gives his Keys to Victory before we head to the ring.

Royal Rumble Match

As has been said all month (Author's Note: And the four in between), Chris Benoit comes to the ring first. He looks ready to go.

Up next, is the Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton. The two circle before locking up. Benoit gets Orton into the corner before beating on him. The two hit the ropes, with Benoit taking Orton down. Benoit takes it to Orton for a bit, including a Snap Suplex.

At number three is Mark Henry. He hustles out from the back and hits the ring. He takes down both competitors with clotheslines. Henry hits a World's Strongest Slam to both men as well, standing tall in the ring and cementing his spot.

Number four is Eddie Guerrero! He comes out and takes it to Mark. He and Benoit team up on Henry for a bit. They get him down to the mat by beating on him. They then hit a Double Suplex to Orton. They climb up on opposite turnbuckles. Benoit hits a Diving Headbutt to Mark while Eddie hits a Frog Splash. Eddie goes to throw Chris out, who hangs on. Benoit gets back in and the two have a staredown.

At number five is Hulk Hogan! Hogan comes out from the back to "Voodoo Child", and is slow to get to the ring. Eventually, he enters, and immediately takes it to Orton. Orton goes for an RKO, but Hogan shoves him into the ropes. On the rebound, Hogan hits a Big Boot and then the Running Leg Drop. Hogan does some taunting as the next competitor comes out.

And it's Rhyno. Rhyno runs out and immediately hits a Gore to Benoit and Eddie. He goes for Henry, who holds onto it mid-move. He beels Rhyno into the corner, where Henry goes for a splash, but Rhyno dodges it. He responds with a Gore to Henry. Rhyno goes for a Gore to Hogan, who dodges it, sending him into the middle turnbuckle. Rhyno backs up into a German Suplex by Benoit. When Rhyno gets up, Benoit clotheslines him out of the ring.

RHYNO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Henry hobbles up, so Benoit charges, hitting a tackle. When that doesn't work, he does it again, sending Henry flying over the top and to the outside.

MARK HENRY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Number seven comes out next, Matt Hardy. He takes his time to get in, where he immediately meets Eddie. The two exchange blows for a bit until Eddie hits Matt with a Three Amigos. Eddie taunts Matt before turning around into an RKO. Orton tries to get Eddie out, but Eddie holds onto the bottom rope, keeping his feet from touching the floor. The rest of them try to get others over the top.

Up next at number eight is Scott Steiner. He comes out, looking jacked, and starts beating on anyone he can find with clotheslines. He gets to Hulk, who takes his clothesline. Scott looks at Matt. Hulk calls for another one, so Scott sends it, but Hulk stands strong. On the third one, Scott hits the ropes, and at the same time, Matt chop blocks Hulk, hitting a high and low to the Immortal One. Scott and Matt high-five, proposing a unit. Scott then tries to throw Matt out, but he holds on. Scott hits a butterfly suplex to Orton, followed by an elbow drop and a couple push-ups. He gets up and meets Benoit, who takes it to him with chops and right hands.

Number nine is out, and it's Kevin Nash! Kevin hits the ring and takes down everybody with Big Boots and sidewalk slams. Nash hits a Jackknife Powerbomb to Orton before turning to Hogan. The two stare at each other, Nash lowering his straps. After a bit of hesitation, Hogan offers it, and Nash accepts to the "Too Sweet", and Tazz saying it's "4 lyfe, JR!" The two then begin focusing on the other competitors, teaming up themselves.

"STANDA BACK!" as The Hurricane comes through at number ten. He runs out and rips his cape off, hitting a flying crossbody to Matt. Hurricane starts throwing hands wherever he can find, it eventually managing a Chokeslam to Eddie and Orton. Hurricane turns around and meets Nash. He then does his pose before backing up into Hogan. Hogan and Nash look at him and laugh, offering a thumbs up. The three men do the Hurricane pose together, and Hurricane is pleased with himself. He turns around into a Big Boot by Nash. One Jackknife Powerbomb later and Hogan and Nash toss him out and over.

THE HURRICANE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Nash and Hogan continue to double team everyone in their path awaiting the next entry.

And at number eleven is Chavo Guerrero! Eddie and Chavo immediately lock eyes. Eddie slides under the bottom rope and starts to brawl. The two relatives and former tag team partners throw hands, brawling all throughout ringside. The two fight here and there, with neither getting the advantage even as they brawl into the crowd.

The seconds blow by, and at number twelve, is Test! Test comes hustling out. He hits the ring and nails a Big Boot to Orton, then Benoit, then Steiner, and even Matt. Test looks to Hogan and Nash. He goes for a Big Boot to Nash, who ducks it, hitting one of his own. Nash does some of Hogan's taunts before hitting a Running Leg Drop of his own. Nash and Hogan hug it out before Nash turns around into a low blow and RKO from Orton. Hogan takes it to Orton, but Matt and Steiner team up to tackle Hogan, ending the former nWo duo's run of dominance. Elsewhere, Eddie and Chavo continue their brawl in the crowd, eventually making their back to ringside when Eddie back body drops Chavo over the barricade onto the floor.

This leads to number thirteen's entrance, and it's Shelton Benjamin. Shelton hustles out from the back. He hits the ring and starts to join the fray, but the story lies with Eddie and Chavo. Eddie hits a suplex to Chavo onto the floor. Eddie tosses Chavo in before entering. Once he does, Chavo Classic appears and grabs Eddie. Eddie gets Classic down, leading to Chavo Jr. hitting a dropkick to the back of Eddie's head. He gets sent over the top, and Classic pulls Eddie to the floor.

EDDIE GUERRERO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Eddie looks at both Chavos completely pissed. In the ring, Matt and Benjamin team up against a few others. Meanwhile, Chavo and Eddie have a staredown. Chavo taunts Eddie for the elimination, but Eddie smirks. Chavo backs up into Benoit. He grabs Chavo and tosses him out.

CHAVO GUERRERO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Eddie and Chavo continue their brawl, even as the next competitor comes out.

And it's Rikishi. He bypasses Eddie and Chavo, who brawl to the back despite a gaggle of referees trying to stop them. Rikishi enters the ring and joins the fray. Matt and Shelton take down a couple of others while Nash and Hogan team up to do so elsewhere. Eventually, they meet in the middle. Nash and Hogan are ready to fight. Matt is pumped, with Shelton shoving Matt into them as he backs away. Hogan and Nash take turns beating on Matt until the next competitors enters.

And it seems Kane is the number fifteenth entrant! He sees that Hogan and Nash are standing tall in the ring, but wastes no time and takes it to them. He topples everyone, hitting a Chokeslam to Matt, Benjamin, Benoit, and Orton. He hits a Chokeslam to Steiner before sending him out and over.

SCOTT STEINER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Kane goes for a Chokeslam to Rikishi, who fights out of it. He Superkicks Kane into the corner. Rikishi goes for the Stink Face, but Kane gets up. When Rikishi turns around, Kane goozles him, nailing a Chokeslam. He spots Test, and smirks. The two start brawling in the corner with Kane taking it to Test something fierce.

This leads to the next entrant, number sixteen coming out: A-Train. He hustles down to the ring and tries to pick a fight with anybody he can find. Unfortunately, he turns and finds Kane.

RIKISHI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Kane recovers from Rikishi and focuses a bit on Nash. However, Matt and Benjamin try and attack Kane from behind. They turn around, and both meet a choke. Kane taunts them a bit for their idiocy as the next competitor comes out.

And wouldn't you know it, number seventeen is Charlie Haas. He runs into the ring and nails Kane from behind just as Benjamin and Matt are set for a Chokeslam. The trio attack Kane, beating him down against the ropes and in the corner. Kane shoves Benjamin and Haas away, but suffers a Twist of Fate. The trio then beat on Kane a bit more, eventually using their triple team efforts to eliminate Kane.

Matt celebrates with Haas and Benjamin. Matt looks toward the stage and call out for whoever is next. The two see Matt distracted and team up to toss him out and over!

MATT HARDY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Tazz mentions that Matt recently lost his Mattitude Follower, Shannon Moore, and he looks devastated as The World's Greatest Tag Team just turned on him. Matt looks absolutely torn-up at this.

It leads into number eighteen, Jeff Hardy! Jeff comes out and bypasses Matt, who can't help but look back. Jeff gets into the ring and takes down anybody he finds, even if it isn't to any avail. Eventually, Jeff finds The World's Greatest Tag Team, who double team him. Matt sees this, and is suddenly enraged. He makes his way back down to the ring, throwing his elbow pads off and getting in.

And right after, The Hardy Boyz pick up Shelton. They share a look before tossing him out together.

SHELTON BENJAMIN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Matt exits the ring, looking back periodically at Jeff with some sense of newfound respect as he makes his way to the back.

At number nineteen is Kurt Angle! He wastes zero time and sprints to the ring. He starts laying suplexes into everybody he sees, Germans, belly-to-bellys, standards, all depending on the people he meets. He hits one final Angle Slam to Jeff before getting up and shouting. He then starts to focus on Nash, who was isolated from Hogan in that encounter.

Number twenty comes out next and it's Booker T! He heads on down to the ring and joins into the fray of people who are still in this match. He ends up hitting a Book End to Jeff, but otherwise doesn't do much before the next guys comes out.

It's number twenty one, Chuck Palumbo.........or at least it should be. Nobody comes out during the time allotted, but during this timeframe, Jeff goes for a Whisper in the Wind to Angle, who dodges. Jeff hits the canvas with a splat.

As Number twenty-two, Billy Gunn, makes his way down to the ring, we go backstage where Chuck Palumbo is seen taken out. Austin yells at someone behind a corner as EMTs tend to Chuck. He tells whoever it is that he's number twenty-one and to get his ass to the ring. In the ring, Mack tries to take on Nash and Hogan, but finds himself taken down fairly quickly with a double Big Boot. Orton hits a Flying Crossbody to both men at the same time to take them down! He gets up, and suddenly, we hear a car crash! Orton stares in the ring, completely losing his mind as Mick Foley comes on out!



"By God, he's not a coward" yells JR! The two brawl inside the ring with each other for a bit, with the action seemingly stopped. Eventually, Foley clotheslines both himself and Orton over the top rope to the floor!

MICK FOLEY and RANDY ORTON HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED

Foley and Orton continue their brawl around ringside. Foley slams Orton into the steps as the action in the ring continues. Foley grabs the steel steps and goes for Orton, but a producer tries to stop him. Foley nails him with the steps, turning around into a couple of steel chair shots to the head!

During all of this, number twenty three runs on down to the ring: Christian! Foley and Orton keep on brawling even as Christian slides into the ring. Orton beats on Foley, bringing them back towards the ramp. In the ring, Christian looks to take an Angle Slam, but gets out of it and hits an Unprettier. On the ramp, Orton goes for another chair shot, but Foley sends off a shot to the gut. He gets off a couple of right hands and a clothesline. He brings out Mr. Socko, going for Orton.

He is interrupted by number twenty four, Rodney Mack, who comes on out. Mack is ready to go, but meets Mr. Socko for his troubles. Foley brings Mack around, but takes a kick directly to the yambags! Orton flees to the back with Foley quick to follow. Mack is slow to get to the ring, hanging out on the outside for a few moments to recover.

This leads well enough into number twenty five, Big Show! He comes on out, but gets nowhere before meeting Hardcore Holly! Holly is being dragged to the back by referees and security, but still tries to get some shots on Show. Show looks at Holly, then back to the ring. He shakes his head and grabs Holly. He separates the security and refs, nailing shot after shot to Holly. JR and Tazz start losing their mind at how chaotic this Rumble has been while in the ring, Jeff goes for a Twist of Fate to Benoit. He reverses it into a Crossface. Jeff tries to get out of it, but Benoit manages to get off onto the rope and then apron. Benoit and Jeff brawl for a bit there. Jeff goes for another Twist of Fate, but Benoit blocks it, shoving Jeff off the apron and into the barricade to eliminate him.

JEFF HARDY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Back at the stage, Show goes for a Chokeslam, but Holly gets out of it and locks in a Full Nelson. Show throws Holly off, hitting a Big Boot to him. Show takes a steel grating off of the stage. He taunts Holly for a few moments before locking in another choke to him.

Just then, number twenty six, Rob Van Dam, comes on out! He meets Show in the middle, nailing some kicks to him. Show shoves RVD off as security and refs try to intercede. Show hits a Big Boot to RVD, getting him back as the ring continues to fill up. Show grabs Holly in the choke and hits a Chokeslam to Holly into the hole he made! EMTs come out and help with Holly while Show makes his way down. Mack hides in the corner while Show military presses RVD through the ropes and into the ring. Show officially enters from there, taking down a couple of guys with headbutts and boots.

After that, lucky number twenty seven makes their way on out. And it's John Cena! He meets Rodney Mack, still on the outside, who sees his predicament. Mack holds his chin, trying to feign off John. Cena does the "you can't see me" and tosses Mack in. Cena starts getting into things with the ring now almost completely full. Cena hits an FU to Mack, but right after is nailed from behind by Nash and Hogan. They try to toss Cena out, but he holds onto the ropes.

We're not done yet as number twenty eight is next: Chris Jericho! Jericho heads on down and immediately tries to level the field. He soon meets Christian, and the two share a bro-fist. They look to take down Hogan and Nash, but Show intercedes and slams their heads together before clotheslining them both. Show chops both men in the corner before hitting a Chokeslam to Mack. Show taunts for a bit, locking in a choke to Hogan. Nash hits a couple Big Boots to Show to take him down before going for a Jackknife Powerbomb. He isn't able to hit it until Booker hits a side kick to Nash. Booker manages to hit a Book End to Hogan and then a Scissors Kick to Nash. He lands the Spinnarooni but is then tossed by Christian and Jericho.

BOOKER T HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Christian and Jericho go another bro-fist before focusing on someone else.

We're coming down to the wire here and this ring is still pretty full, something not helped by number twenty nine, Matt Anoa'i. He makes his way down and starts to take on anybody he finds. But even his size and power isn't enough to eliminate anybody. This leaves the landscape open for the final entrant who is...next.

It's number 30, and that's no mystery! Goldberg is here! He gets into the ring immediately takes Show down with a Spear! He starts to take on anybody he sees. He hits a Superkick to Mack that sends the poor bastard out and over.

He gestures for a fight, waiting for The Undertaker. Unfortunately, this leaves him wide open for Hogan and Nash to pop and toss Goldberg out of the match!

GOLDBERG HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

In the ring, Nash and Hogan do another "Too Sweet" before focusing on Angle and Benoit. They get them into opposite corners. Nash runs for Hogan's and Hogan runs for Nash's. They meet them with a back elbow and clothesline respectively. Hogan and Nash meet in the middle before hugging. Hogan calls for it, hitting a Running Leg Drop onto Benoit.
