Sunrise, Florida - December 15, 2002: A night to remember at the Office Depot Center as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) presented its latest Pay Per View extravaganza. The electric atmosphere was palpable as fans from all corners of the country converged to witness a card stacked with world-class talent.
WWF World Tag Team Title Four-Way Elimination Match The evening kicked off in spectacular fashion, as four teams battled for the coveted WWF World Tag Team Championship. Booker T and Goldust emerged victorious after a thrilling match that saw them outmaneuver Chris Jericho and Christian, Lance Storm and William Regal, and The Dudley Boyz. This opening contest set the tone for an evening of high-flying action.
Singles Matches Next up was Edge's showdown against The A-Train. In a surprisingly short encounter, Edge capitalized on his opponent's aggression to secure the win in just 7 minutes and 11 seconds. Meanwhile, Chris Benoit showcased his grappling prowess by defeating Eddie Guerrero in an intense, back-and-forth battle that lasted 16 minutes and 46 seconds.
The evening's third singles contest featured Batista taking on Kane. This hard-hitting affair was over in a relatively quick 6 minutes and 37 seconds, with the dominant Batista proving too much for his opponent to handle.
WWE Women's Title Triple Threat Match Victoria stole the show (pun intended) in this highly competitive triple threat match against Jacqueline and Trish Stratus. The reigning champion's cunning and agility proved decisive, as she dispatched her opponents in a mere 4 minutes and 29 seconds to retain her title.
Main Events The evening reached its climax with Kurt Angle putting everything on the line against The Big Show for the WWE Championship. In a closely contested match, Angle's superior technical skills ultimately led him to victory.
However, the true main event was the World Heavyweight Title Three Stages of Hell Match between Triple H and Shawn Michaels. This grueling encounter saw both competitors push their bodies to the limits in a series of brutal matches: a steel cage match, a limousine match (where the objective was to eliminate the other by throwing them over the back of the vehicle), and finally, a hell in a cell match. In the end, Triple H emerged victorious, retaining his title and cementing his reputation as one of the greatest of all time.
The Verdict In conclusion, this WWE Pay Per View event was an absolute masterclass in professional wrestling. The four-way tag team match set the tone for an evening of non-stop action, while the individual matches showcased some of the industry's finest talents. The main events were nothing short of spectacular, with Kurt Angle and Triple H delivering performances that will be remembered for years to come.
