The Cow Palace in San Francisco was electric last night as World Wrestling Entertainment presented its latest pay-per-view extravaganza. The packed arena of 11,000 fans witnessed a thrilling card that saw the likes of Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero stake their claims for WWE Championship greatness.
In the opening contest, Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty successfully defended their WWE RAW Tag Team Titles against Shaniqua and the Basham Brothers in a high-energy Three-on-Two Handicap Match. The reigning champs showed why they're one of the top tag teams in the company, showcasing their impressive teamwork and agility to outmaneuver their opponents.
Next up was Jamie Noble's thrilling match against Nidia in a Boyfriend vs. Girlfriend Noble Is Blindfolded contest. In a nod to the romantic tension between the two, Noble was forced to wrestle without his sight, relying on his other senses to take down Nidia. In the end, it was Noble who emerged victorious, pinning Nidia after a series of impressive moves.
The World's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) put their skills on display as they took on the APA (Bradshaw and Faarooq) in a hard-hitting tag team match. The two teams traded blows and near-falls throughout, with WGTT ultimately emerging victorious after a picture-perfect Haas-Benjamin combination.
In what was arguably the most physical match of the night, Hardcore Holly squared off against Rhyno in a singles contest that saw both men leave everything they had on the mat. In the end, it was Holly who earned the win, pinning Rhyno after a vicious second-rope clothesline.
The WWE Cruiserweight Title was up for grabs as Chavo Guerrero faced Rey Mysterio in a highly competitive match. Both competitors showcased their incredible aerial skills and quickness, but in the end, it was Guerrero who retained his title with a well-timed Frog Splash.
In what was undoubtedly the main event of the evening, WWE Champion Kurt Angle put his title on the line against John Cena and The Big Show in a thrilling Triple Threat Match. All three men gave it their all, but Angle ultimately emerged victorious, pinning both opponents to retain his championship.
Finally, Eddie Guerrero challenged Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in what was billed as a "winner takes all" contest. In a match that saw both competitors give it everything they had, Guerrero pulled off an incredible upset, defeating Lesnar via a series of quick roll-ups and near-falls before securing the pin to become the new WWE Champion.
In conclusion, last night's WWE pay-per-view event in San Francisco was a must-see affair for any wrestling fan. With a mix of high-octane tag team action, thrilling matches, and championship gold on the line, it was an evening that will be remembered for some time to come.
