WWE Sunday Night Heat
Madison Square Garden
New York City, NY
November 17, 2002
Hosts: Jonathan Coachman and Lita
Ring Announcer: Howard Finkel
Here we go, its time for Survivor Series and we bring you the pre-show with Jonathan Coachman & Lita as your hosts. We start with the elimination chamber construction video from Raw and Coach says its a rainy night here in New York. Coach runs down the card and marvels at the elimination chamber hanging over the ring.
Coach sends us to our first vignette video, Trish Stratus vs Victoria for the Women's Championship and what led to it. Long story short, Victoria and Trish were fitness models and Trish went on to fame, leaving Victoria behind. Now Victoria is out for revenge an wants to beat Trish at her own game. Victoria beat the daylights out of Terri Runnells on Raw but was dropped by Trish. Coach says our Heat match will be Goldust and The Hurricane against William Regal and Lance Storm later. Cut to commercial.
Back from commercial Coach and Lita thank our sponsors as fans start to file into the Garden. We then cut to last night's WWE Confidential for an interview with Scott Steiner....after a vignette with WCW highlights and commentary. Steiner says he's the big bad booty daddy and always goes balls to the wall because you never know when it'll end. He says he's still in his prime and wants to get stronger every day. Steiner says he doesn't know what show he'll appear on because him vs Lesnar or him vs Triple H would be interesting. He has no problem working with Eric Bischoff again and there's challenges he hasn't faced yet. He wants to be world champion and its going to be interesting because he's back.
Coach sends us to The World where Saliva performs a soundcheck. Apparently they're going to play tonight during Survivor Series. Stacy Keibler barges in their dressing room and wants them to write a song about the testicles because testicles love Saliva....yay dick jokes. Our upcoming Smackdown road schedule is this Tuesday in the Hartford Civic Center, next Saturday in Syracuse, next Sunday in Elmira, North Carolina and next Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, then a week from Tuesday they'll be in Columbia, South Carolina.
Back from break the Overdrive of The Night is HHH hitting the pedigree on Shawn Michaels from Raw. Coach and Lita talk about the Elimination Chamber which they can't show under Eric Bischoff's orders. Lita can't pick a winner and even Coach can't pick a winner. Our rules are four guys will be in individual chambers with 2 men starting in the ring. Every 5 minutes a randomly chosen chamber opens. Elimination occurs at anytime via pinfall or submission and the last man standing is the World Heavyweight Champion. We cut to Chris Jericho on The Best Damn Sports Show Period who is out of character and jovial, although he does say he's going to win.
We then hype up the triple threat tag team title match with a highlight package going back to last month at No Mercy leading up all the way to tonight. After that, Coach hypes up our pre-show match coming up before we go to another break, Back from break we got a WWE Anthology commercial with Trish Status saying she's a huge fan of Lil Kim...yippie. Eric Bischoff goes to knock on the door of Stephanie McMahon's office but thinks better of it. Coach and Lita bring up the kiss without actually saying so then cut to this week's episode of Tough Enough 3. Jamie is a tomboy and Jonah can't stand her but the eventual John Morrison is indifferent. This is the reality show BS I could never stand. We get the Raw road schedule which was tomorrow night in Bridgeport, CT, next Monday night is North Charleston, South Carolina, a week from Saturday in Amarillo, Texas, two weeks from today in Laredo, Texas and two weeks from tomorrow night is Austin, Texas.
After break, our WWE rewind is Jamal splashing Jeff Hardy and Spike Dudley through a table on Raw. Coach brings up the six man tables match, the Cruiserweight title match, and Brock Lesnar vs Big Show. We then get a hype package video for Lesnar and Show as Coach says its been a while since Big Show main evented a ppv. That's why randomly booking Show as an unstoppable monster doesn't work if you don't book him as such for a year.
Back from commercial, Coach and Lita send it to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler for our pre-show match.
Match 1
The Hurricane and Goldust vs William Regal and Lance Storm
Commentators: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
With Booker T in the elimination chamber match, The Hurricane takes his place teaming with Goldust against Regal and Storm on Heat. Bell rings and Hurricane switches out of a waistlock only to get kicked in the head. Hurricane hits a clothesline and covers for a two then goes to punch Storm in the corner. Regal snaps Hurricane off the top rope and Storm hits a heel kick. Regal tags in and hits a t-bone taz plex and covers for a deuce. Regal and Storm isolate Hurricane and Storm covers for a two count. Hurricane rolls out of a suplex and goes for an O'Connor Roll, but Regal makes the blind tag. Regal forearms Hurricane off and hits knees to the head. Regal covers but Goldust breaks up the count. Storm splashes Hurricane in one corner but a charge in the other one eats elbow. Shane hits the blockbuster then tags in Goldust who goes to town on both Regal & Storm. Goldust backdrops Storm and invert atomic drops Regal. He powerslams Storm and covers but Regal breaks it up. All for men are in and Regal runs into the ass bump by Goldust while Hurricane goes for the chokeslam on Storm. Hurricane hits it and Goldust goes for the curtain call but Regal clotheslines him, allowing Storm to cradle him up for 1...2...3 to win the match. Regal and Storm win it. Suddenly Tommy Dreamer appears out of nowhere and wipes out both heels with the singapore cane. Since its New York, gotta have the New Yorker stand tall. Only had 3 minutes so can't expect much there.
Time of match: 3:01
Winners: Storm and Regal by pinfall
After the match we get another elimination chamber vignette set to Always by Saliva before we sign off. The time for talking is over, the chips are on the table. Its time for Survivor Series. Will Brock Lesnar be able to withstand the onslaught of the Big Show? Will Billy Kidman dethrone Jamie Noble for the Cruiserweight title? Will 3 Minute Warning prevail in the tables match? Will Victoria crush Trish Stratus in the hardcore match? Who will walk out the new tag team champions? Who will win the elimination chamber match? I'll see you at Survivor Series.
