Before the match can even begin, Bagwell is in the ring with a chair and tries to attack RVD! Van Dam dodges the attack and drills Bagwell with a Van Daminator! Commotion ensues that leads to medical crews taking Bagwell to the back and the referee ejecting him from ringside!

With the playing field leveled, the bell rang and these two went straight into a technical exchange, trading deep arm drags and kipups before a stiff shoulder block from D'Lo finally grounded the champion. Brown showed his power early, catching a leaping RVD mid-air and planting him with a massive running sit-out powerbomb for a very close 2 count that nearly ended the match in the opening minutes. D'Lo kept the pressure on, dropping RVD with a stalling vertical suplex and a leg drop, for another 2!

Van Dam battled back after escaping a chinlock, nailing D'Lo with a spinning heel kick that sent the challenger reeling through the ropes to the floor. RVD didn't hesitate, hitting the far ropes and soaring over the top with a spectacular somersault plancha that wiped out D'Lo on the concrete. The "Whole Dam Show" contineud the assault on the outisde, draping Brown over the guardrail then nailing a spinning leg drop from the ring to the back of D'Lo's head! RVD tossed Brown back into the ring for the pin but only gets a 2!

D’Lo regained control by catching RVD's leg and delivering a sharp dragon screw, following it up with a series of stiff European uppercuts in the corner. He hoisted RVD up for a thunderous Sky High that had the referee’s hand coming down for a 3, but Van Dam just managed to get a shoulder up. RVD weathered the subsequent assault, sliding out of a powerbomb attempt and catching D’Lo with an enzuigiri. RVD connected with a signature Rolling Thunder. He quickly scaled the ropes and connected with a high-impact Five Star Frog Splash to secure the victory.

What a great match to open Fall Brawl! I always thought D'Lo had more to give then he had been able to in the past, and this match proves it. Bagwell getting taken out early allowed these two to simply have a great match, and thats exactly what they did. Curious where all three men go from here.

This was a technical masterpiece that utilized the entire ring. Hennig and Corino started with a feeling-out process, trading wristlocks and hammerlocks as the crowd appreciated the "old school" vibe. Hennig showed he hadn't lost a step, catching Corino with a perfect dropkick and a snapmare into a seated chinlock. Corino found his opening by pulling Hennig into the turnbuckle by his trunks while the referee was distracted. He grounded the veteran with a series of elbow drops and a kneeling abdominal stretch, working over Hennig's midsection. Hennig eventually fired up, delivering a flurry of knife-edge chops that echoed through the arena. He went for the Hennig-Plex, but Corino managed to hook the ropes to block it. In the ensuing scramble, Corino caught Hennig with a Super Kick followed by a Hennig-Plex of his own! He locks in the right bridge and Corino gets the pin on Curt Hennig!

Corino gets his win back over Hennig from a few weeks ago in a better then good match. If you are going to have guys work a slower paced "old school" match, Curt Hennig is the guy you want in there. Do they go for the rubber match or does Corino move up the card, maybe after some gold?

The action was non-stop from the jump. Chavo and Kaz started in lockstep, using doubleteam maneuvers to keep Kidman and Karagias at bay. Karagias managed to break the streak with a springboard crossbody that wiped out both Hayashi and Chavo, leading to a spectacular sequence where all four men traded suicide dives to the floor. As the match returned to the ring, the teamwork between the champions began to fray. Kaz Hayashi climbed to the top and connected with a beautiful moonsault on Karagias. He went for the cover, looking to secure the gold, but Chavo Guerrero reached in and pulled his own partner off the pin! The two began a heated shouting match in the center of the ring, with Chavo slapping Kaz across the face. Kaz finally snapped, unloading on Chavo with a series of stiff kicks before planting him with a sit-out powerbomb. As Kaz stood over his fallen partner, Billy Kidman returned to the ring, catching a distracted Hayashi with a Kid Krusher. Kidman didn't waste a second, scaling the turnbuckle and nailing a Shooting Star Press on Hayashi and getting the pinfall!

Well Kidman's victory came out of nowhere. Not that its a bad thing. Hayashi really seemed like the guy with some momentum here, and the face turn and collapse of Los Dragones is the other big story. WCW often uses the term "Cruiserweight Chaos" and it seems exactly what the Cruiserweight division is.

The brawling started in the ring with trash cans and kendo sticks but quickly spilled over the barricade. Palumbo and Rection traded heavy blows through the crowd, with Rection using a folded steel chair to batter Palumbo’s ribs before the FBI powerhouse responded by back body dropping the General onto the concrete floor of the concourse. Stamboli and Cajun followed close behind, engaging in a battle near the merchandise stands where Cajun used a broom handle to stave off Stamboli’s power game.

Eventually, the chaos moved into the backstage hallway area, where the environment became even more hazardous. Stamboli grabbed a metal catering tray from a nearby table and used it to punish Cajun’s back with sickening clatter, while Palumbo utilized a production crate to ram Rection into a concrete wall. The MIA fought back with desperate teamwork; Cajun launched himself off a forklift with a flying forearm to Stamboli, while Rection used a heavy industrial fan to floor Palumbo.

The fight reached a fever pitch near a loading dock, with all four men trading punches amidst scattered pallets and equipment. Just as it looked like the MIA was closing in on a win, Guido Maritato suddenly appeared from behind a parked production truck, looking to interfere with a lead pipe. However, Blonde Bombshell emerged blocking Guido’s path. She grabbed Guido and planted a massive, lingering kiss on him. Guido was frozen in place, and the FBI paused in confusion. General Rection used the opening to grab Palumbo and toss him into a massive pile of heavy equipment boxes. Rection and Cajun then turned to the lone Stamboli, hoisting him up for a thunderous Double Powerbomb that sent him crashing through a nearby wooden table. Rection made the cover right there on the concrete floor for the 3!

It was okay. A punch of punching and a wild brawl with some weapons. The finish was interesting, and I'm not sure if this means we get more MIA/FBI or if the feud is done. MIA as the champions resets the division to where it was back in May, which is fine, I guess? I feel we need new blood in the tag division.

All ten men started in the ring, creating a mosh pit of action. Sean O'Haire established dominance early, grabbing Disqo and launching him over the top rope with ease. Mike Sanders was the next to go; after being caught in a technical exchange with Shane Helms, he ate a devastating Vertebreaker. Before he could recover, O'Haire snatched him up and tossed him out. Marc Mero attempted to mount an offense, but Mike Awesome caught him coming off the ropes and military-pressed him straight to the floor. The field narrowed as Kanyon ducked a clothesline from Shane Helms and sent the "Sugar" Shane over the top. Tommy Dreamer put up a fight against the Foundation, but the numbers were too much as Mike Awesome and Kanyon joined forces to dump the innovator of violence. Shawn Stasiak's night ended when he was caught by a charging BG James, who clotheslined him over the top, only for James to be immediately ambushed and tossed by the duo of Awesome and Kanyon. This left O'Haire alone against the Foundation members. O'Haire fought like a man possessed, fending off a doubleteam attack and managing to back body drop Mike Awesome over the top rope. Kanyon tried to take advantage of O'Haire's fatigue, but Sean caught him in a Death Spiral and tossed him over the top to stand alone as the winner.

A fun chaotic battle royal. Lots of small stuff made it really good and the action was quick without the normal stalling and rope hugging seen in other battle royals. O'Haire winning seems like the right choice as he didn't really lose to Storm clean, and has a score to settle with Storm and the Foundation.

With Shawn Stasiak still recovering from his Battle Royal appearance, Stacy Keibler was forced to walk to the ring completely alone. She looked terrified, spending the first two minutes of the match literally running around the ring and through the ropes to avoid Joanie. Keibler eventually tried to land a desperation slap, but Joanie didn't even flinch. Laurer grabbed Stacy by the throat, shoved her into the corner, and connected with a series of heavy shoulder thrusts. Joanie then hoisted the champion high into the air, holding her there for a few seconds before crashing her down with a massive Powerbomb. Joanie made the cover with one foot on Stacy’s chest to secure the title in dominant fashion.

I mean, it was a short squash between a okay at best worker and a non-worker. Hopefully this means the Women's Division can move on to actual wrestlers. Jazz anyone?

The main event was a high-tension affair that saw all three men trading signature maneuvers from the opening bell. The early minutes were a strategic deadlock. Every time Booker T looked to build momentum with his speed, Storm would cut him off with a clinical dropkick to the knee, only for DDP to break the momentum with a kitchen sink knee lift or a heavy clothesline. The action intensified when Storm and DDP momentarily aligned to dump Booker to the floor, but the truce was short-lived as Page immediately caught the champion with a rotating sit-out powerbomb for a near fall.

Booker T stormed back into the ring, clearing the house with a flurry of forearm shivers and a big vertical suplex to Storm. He followed up with a 110th Street Slam on DDP and looked to have the match in hand after a thunderous Scissors Kick to Storm. However, before he could make the cover, Kanyon and Mike Awesome sprinted to the ring and dragged Booker to the outside. Booker fought against the odds, planting Kanyon with a Book End on the concrete floor, but Mike Awesome caught him with a terrifying running lariat that sent both men brawling toward the entranceway and out of sight.

Back in the ring, the referee regained control as Storm and DDP were left one-on-one in the ring. Storm showcased his technical dominance, taking DDP down with a dragon screw and systematically targeting Page's legs with stiff stomps. After a series of counters, Storm successfully locked in the Canadian Maple Leaf right in the center of the ring. Page was screaming in pain and reaching desperately for the ropes when Billy Kidman suddenly appeared in the ring. Kidman with his newly won Cruiserweight title in hand, drilled Storm across the skull with the gold. A dazed Storm collapsed, and DDP immediately capitalized. He pulled the champion up and nailed a thunderous Diamond Cutter. Page made the cover to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

What a main event! Everything just clicked and made sense. Booker looks strong, Storm looked strong, and DDP wins the match. Kidman is in the Foundation, Booker still has a claim to the title, Storm probably wants revenge, this match had everything in it, and leads us with lots of places to go storywise! Loved it!
