Batista puts down Ken Shamrock to book his place at No Mercy in the tournament
final.  Can he now find his way onto the Taboo Tuesday poll?



Card rating: ** 3/4


Match observations: 

So Batista makes it to No Mercy, and is just one step away from becoming a WWE
Title contender.  This Thursday on Smackdown will determine whether he faces
Shawn Michaels or Stone Cold Steve Austin at No Mercy, so if Batista wants in
on the poll, he'll have to take down a Hall of Famer in order to do so.

Things are starting to heat up with Chris Benoit, Christian and Triple H.  The
Gane will have to sit idly by and watch these two battle it out come Sunday,
but at least he knows that a title shot will be his at some point, no matter
who ends up with the gold after No Mercy and Taboo Tuesday.

A big win for Shelton Benjamin tonight, over Jeff Jarrett.  It seems as though
he and Charlie Haas have decided to put their tag team efforts on hold for a
while as they attempt to build up singles careers.  With such a good start for
Shelton, you have to wonder how long it'll be before he's holding singles gold
in WWE.

Masahiro Chono will be looking for some gold of his own, when he faces Cactus
Jack at No Mercy for the IC title.  However, I doubt that things between him
and JBL are over yet, seeing as Chono never actually pinned Bradshaw in the
match tonight.

Also, after tonight's actions, we've learned that Tazz will face Brock Lesnar
in what should be a very interesting match at No Mercy.
