WWF in Japan : March 2002
William Regal Vs. Edge For the Intercontinental Title
Same old stuff ensued with Regal retaining the belt after slugging Edge in the b@lls. The crowd liked Edge and cheered him on. They also chanted"A$$hole" and "Regal Sucks"
Lita vs. Mighty Molly
Lita put on a good show and defeated Mighty Molly.
DDP Vs. Haku for the European Title
DDP beat the stuffing out of Haku and walled into the crown with his belt! Every one went nuts!!
The Hardy Boys vs. Billy and Chuck for the Tag Team titles
It was totally a great show. Jeff and Mat did their high flying jumps and they looked awesome! But Chuck and Billy ended up beating them. Matt and Billy ended up unconscious in the ring and then Billy managed to get one arm over Matt for the pit fall.
Ric Flair came out to the ring and thanked Japan for hosting the WWF this time around. Then he talked about his glory days of coming to Japan for over 30 years in his career. He then gave some shout out to famous Japanese wrestlers and then went to the backstage.
Kane and the Big Show vs. The Dudley Boys
Bubba ray put Kane through a table and then later Devon got to do the famous "What's up" into the groin of the Big Show. During the match the Big Show got to spank Stacy in the middle of the ring. The match ended with both Bubb and Devon being double choke slammed to the mat by Kane and the Big Show for the win.
Sho Funaki vs. The Hurricane
The Japanese crowd booed Funaki and cheered for the Hurricane. But that didn't save him in the end. Funaki pinned the Hurricane for the win.
Tajiri vs. Billy Kidman
The crowd LOVED Tajiri, and he knew it. They really came alive when he came out. Kidman and Tajiri put on one great show and I have to say it was the best of the night! Tajiri is really a great athlete.
The Rock Vs Chris Jericho for the undisputed worldchamp title
They fought each other for a go 30-40 minutes. The mach was good and Jericho finished it by punching the Rock in the balls and then pinning him. After the match The Rock was not finished. He got the mic and called Jericho back out. They had an exchange of words in which Rock asked Jericho if they wanted to go to Roppongi and get some Japanese Pie. Jericho says "I hate Japanese pie! Look at my body! I don't eat pie I hate all pie."
Rock grabs the mic and says " Let me
get this straight. You hate pie? are you an Okama (Japanese for homo)"
Jericho grabs the mic and says "I hate pie
but I like to eat Strudel" The crowd started
to chant "Okama! Okama!" Jericho got mad and said
"What the hell is Okama???" Rock grabs the mic and says "It means
you don't like pie, you like this." then he grabbed his butt. Then the
crowd started to chant "Y2GAY Y2GAY!!" After that the Rock says to
Jericho "Let me be the first to welcome you to Japan" Then the Rock
gives Jericho the Rock Bottom! The crowd goes nuts. After that the Rock puts
a Japanese flag and an American flag over his shoulder and there were some fireworks.
All in all an excellent show. It has been 10 years since the WWF came to Japan and tonight's show totally made up for it!
