The Dream Team of Austin and Hart won the titles, after Shaniqua was able to

Orton talks about his faked no-show on Smackdown, and the upcoming match with
Triple H.

The Game took revenge on the Legend Killer here tonight, but his joy was 
short-lived, as Orton nailed Helmsley with the ring bell after the match.

A disappointing ending to an interesting match.  However, with Nick Patrick as
the ref, this may well have been the only way for Jericho to escape with the
Intercontinental Title still around his waist.

Shane McMahon is determined not to let Hollywood Hogan defeat him.

After a brutal brawl, the unthinkable happened - Hollywood Hogan pinned Shane
McMahon and put him down for the 10 count, thus meaning that the nWo now have
full control over the book in WWE.

Mysterio earned a hard-fought victory to take the belt.  Afterwards, Tajiri
came down to ringside to hand the belt to the new champion.  However, after
raising Rey-Rey's arm, the former champion then sprayed green mist in his eyes
before hitting him with the Stiff Kick to the Head.

The nWo was defeated here, despite a large amount of interference by Steven
Richards, who was attempting to make life for Shawn Michaels a living hell.

Don't expect the three survivors here to have a particularly fun night on Raw
though, especially now that the nWo has the book.

Chris Benoit gave it his absolute all, but could not manage to take the title
from Goldberg.  The nWo celebrated their champion's victory, as the show went
off the air.



Card rating: ****


Match observations: 

So, despite the set-back in the 10 man tag team match, it really was the nWo's
night once again.  Goldberg successfully retained the WWE title against Chris
Benoit, while Hollywood Hogan was able to defeat Shane McMahon, thus giving the
New World Order control of the book in WWE.  What will their first order of
business be come tomorrow night on Raw?

Expect the first three targets to be Shawn Michaels, Booker T and Al Snow, who
were the three survivors in the WWE vs nWo 10 man match here tonight.  Michaels
might already have his own problems with Steven Richards though, who proved to
be somewhat of a thorn in HBK's side during the match tonight, although some of
his interfering tactics left a little to be desired.

Another likelihood is that Scott Steiner will be rushed into a rematch against
Chris Jericho, after their match ended in a double count-out tonight.  If Hogan
wants the Intercontinental Title in the nWo, Steiner seems to be the man most
likely to take it from Y2J.

Also, expect the new tag champions Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin to be
targeted in the near future.  Those two couldn't get along at the very best of
times, so the nWo will be looking to exploit the pressure put on them as tag
champs, and therefore steal the belts away from them.

What's next for Randy Orton and Triple H?  Despite Orton's loss here tonight,
he had the last laugh by nailing The Game with the ring bell.  Will Helmsley
be looking for revenge, or will the Legend Killer go on the attack once again?

And finally, why did Tajiri so brutally attack Rey Mysterio after the 6 man
Cruiserweight match here tonight?  We may well find out on Raw!
