Here are all the results from the WWF event from thye FleetCenter
in Boston, Massachusetts on April 9, 2001.
The event began with some dark matches. Of the
matches, we have coverage of two notables.
 |
The Haas Brothers
vs. Scott Vick & Steve Bradley
One Fall Tag-Team Contest |
 |
This match was won via pinfall by local talent "Super Bad" Steve Bradley,
who once competed in an event in Danvers a few years back. Bradley completed
the task with a swinging neck breaker/DDT Combo. |
WINNERS : STEVE BRADLEY AND SCOTT VICK
 |
American Dragon vs. Jerry Lynn

 |
Jerry Lynn, a former ECW star, got the upper hand and the win in this
match. The martial arts champion scored a tornado DDT to lock in a pinfall
on the American Dragon. |
WINNER : JERRY LYNN
 |
Grandmaster Sexxay and
Steve Blackman vs. Kaientai
One Fall; Tag Team Contest |
 |
Kaientai got the crowd into the event with their "INDEED" speech, but
it would be The team of "Too Stupid" (as Taka reffered to the team of Grandmaster
and Blackman) who would win the first match of the Jakked/Metal tapings.
The team celebrated with a "Too Cool Dance Session", leaving us to say
"Get Better Scotty 2Hotty", Blackman is a horrible dancer. |
WINNER : GRANDMASTER SEXXAY AND STEVE BLACKMAN
 |
Haku vs. Deuce
One Fall, Singles Contest |
 |
Haku was the dominant wrestler (without surprise) as he Tongan Death
Gripped his way into a submission victory. |
WINNER : HAKU
 |
Perry Saturn & Dean Malenko vs.
Alex Arion & Lo-Ki
One Fall, Tag Team Contest |
 |
Another obvious victory in order here for the Radicalz. Perry hit a
fisherman's neckbreaker on former EWA U.S. Champ, Alex Arion for the 1-2-3! |
WINNERS : PERRY SATURN AND DEAN MALENKO
 |
K-Kwik vs. Johnny Swinger
One Fall, Singles Contest |
 |
If I was a betting man, I'd make millions on Jakked/Metal. Johnny Swinger
was not my pick (as I hope he wouldn't be yours either) and K-Kwik ended
this contest by reversing a nekcbreaker and hitting a powerbomb for the
pinnfall. |
WINNER : K-KWIK
The show starts with a recap of Vince and Linda's trouble..even before
the WWF title.
The WWF titles play then we're taken back to earlier today and Mr. McMahon's
looking at Bruin's jersey in a display case. Jim Ross walks in and McMahon
tells him to take it easy. Vince asks what the hell happened to him. Did
he get in a car accident or fall down a flight of steps? Vince says he'll
accept partial responibility. Vince says Ross probably isn't in the right
frame of mind to work tonight. Vince says before Ross goes to work tonight,
they need to have a little discussion in his office. McMahon doesn't want
JR going out there and making deragatory comments about McMahon or Austin.
JR walks off.
 |
Kurt Angle vs. Kane (Hardcore Champion)
Hardcore Chapionship Match |
 |
This match originally started out as a challenege by Angle (who has
reminded us so many times about Boston's less than winning ways) to any
of the WWF champions. Kane responded and the match began. Soon after, The
Big Show made his presence felt with some "Hardcore Interference". The
former hardcore champ was met up by the Undertaker. Taker goes to work
on Show and Kane and Taker double team. Angle gets up and tries to join
a triple team, but Kane takes Angle out. Double chokeslam by Kane and Taker.
Kane covers and gets the win. |
WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION : KANE
Jim Ross is shown in Vince McMahon's office. McMahon says he brought
JR in to get him in the right frame of mind. McMahon says he wants nothing
but the best for WWF fans. He wants JR to go out there with a clear conscious.
To get Ross in the right frame of mind, he invites Steve Austin to join
them. Austin asks Ross if he minds. McMahon says this isn't exactly what
it looks like. They're here to entertain him. McMahon says in a few minutes,
they're going to show some movies.
McMahon, Ross and Austin are in McMahon's office and he puts in the
tape entitled "The Life and Times of JR."
First clip shown is from last Thursday's Smackdown. They end up showing
most of the interview to the displeasure of the live crowd.
15 minutes later, back to the dressing room. McMahon asks JR what he
thought of the film? Double thumbs up. Austin says he now realizes how
weak and how pathetic Ross is. Austin says he has nothing else to say to
Ross and he gest up and leaves. McMahon asks Ross if he's in the right
frame of mind to go to work tonight. JR says yep. Ross says he's also talked
to his attorney. Ross says he has a helluva lawsuit if he chooses to go
that way. Ross says he's never gone that way. Ross says his other option
is to quit tonight. If Ross quits tonight, he's going to work tomorrow
for Shane down at WCW. Ross says he has a job to do and he's going to go
do it.
The Oklahoma Fight Song plays and Jim Ross makes his way to join Paul
Heyman at the broadcast position.

Vince is shown backstage with Stephanie. Vince says
he has a feeling this is going to be an unusual night. Steph tells him
not to worry about JR and especially JR's comments about Shane and WCW.
Vince says he has to worry because this is his business. Vince says he
don't know what Shane's going to do. Steph says Shane is under contract,
he don't have to worry. Vince says he don't have Shane under contract.
He has JR under contract, but not JR. On a monitor behind them, Steph notices
Linda McMahon arriving at the building.
Linda is shown walking in the back and she runs into The Acolytes they
make small talk and she walks into Chyna's photo shoot. They hug and Linda
says she has business to take care of.
Michael Cole interviews Spike Dudley. Spike says it was an honor and
a privelege to be in the same ring as Lita. X-Factor comes in and starts
making fun of Spike. X-Pac says he's hear of laying down for women before,
but never in the ring. Spike says he can fight his own fights and he can
take his own ass kickings. Albert throws Spike into the chain link fence.
X-Pac and Credible talk more crap and walk away.
Jonathan Coachman walks into William Regal's office. Regal tells him
to straighten up and have some pride. Regal says he's concerned about this
newfound respect between Jericho and Benoit. Tonight, we'll see the next
great classic between Jericho and Benoit and Coachman gets to tell them
they'll be fighting tonight.

Undertaker vs. Big Show

This match came about as a challenge after the hardcore bout. The match
started off with the Big Show missing a double ax handle. Then the fight
breaks out. Bear hug by Show then he puts Taker in the corner. Taker gets
his boot up on teh charge. Taker hits a series of right hands and backs
Show into the corner. Right hands by Taker. Taker gets a whip reversed

then he corner mounts. Taker hits the Last Ride from the middle turnbuckle
and gets the three count. |
WINNER : UNDERTAKER
The old school Wrestlemania Theme hits and Linda McMahon comes out.
Linda says thank you to all the fans. She came here tonight because she
wanted to make three announcements. One, as you can see and like she said
last week, she has fully recovered and is of sound body and mind and she
has resumed all her responsibilities as CEO of the World Wrestling Federation.
Secondly, she wants to again say how proud she is of her son Shane who
did what he felt he had to do at Wrestlemania. Linda says she wants Shane
to know she wishes him all the luck in the world and success with his new
acquisition. Her third announcement doesn't really involve Shane and her,
but it does involve her husband, Vincent K. McMahon. Vince being the one
who always likes to do things in public fashion, she'd like to request
his presence to join her in this very ring.
Vince obliges as No Chance hits and he walks confidently towards the
ring. Vince tries to give her a hug, but Linda pushes him away. Vince looks
for
a microphone. He finally gets one and he says he knows why she is here.
Quite frankly, he admires her for it. She came out here to apologize. She
came out here, that's her announcement, she came out here to apologize
for what she did at Wrestlemania. She's going to apologize to him for kicking
him in the gonads.
Linda fires back by saying, "Vince, shut up" She's the one who's going
to do the talking in this ring tonight. Maybe he'll recall the last time
they had a public chat in the ring. She remembers, it was last December
in Madison Square Garden. In case he don't remember, Linda reminds him
with the video of Vince wanting a divorce
Vince says he didn't mean it. He was just a little angry that night.
Linda says he wasn't just angry, he was furious. He made her ill. She
was stunned, but she guesses anyone would be when that comes out of the
blue after 34 years of marriage. He did make her ill and sick, but not
sick enough to be put in a sanitarium and medicated heavily. For the next
few months, he kept saying, he knows she can hear him and he would do thing
after thing. Linda reminds him with video of things Vince and Trish did
over the last three months.
Linda says all of that finally led to the match at Wrestlemania. She
has to tell him, a lot of wrongs where righted at Wrestlemania. Trish kept
the doctors away so Linda wasn't so heavily medicated. Trish even got to
slap him. Mick Foley pumeled him in the corner and Linda even got a kick
in. Shane finished it off with a kick to the trash can. Linda says a lot
of people would think he has revenge enough, but she's not one of those
people.
Vince says he'll give her what she wants. He'll do this because he's
been the one to sacrifice in this relationship. What she wants is.....he'll
give it to her. Publicly. He apologizes. He says he'll go one step further.
Just like it was 34 years ago when he asked her to make the right decision
then and she did, all he's asking for is for her to make the right decision
now. Vince is on his knees. He tells Linda to read his lips. He humbily,
truely aplogizes for his actions.
Linda puts a hand on his shoulders and says she didn't come her for
an apology. She tells him to read her lips. She wants a divorce.
The ending of this segment brought little hope for the possible return
of Shawn Michaels.
Lita catches Linda in the parking lot and she says that was awesome
what she did out there. Truly inspiring. Linda gets in the limo and Vince
runs up and tries to talk to her, but the limo pulls away. McMahon turns
around and sees Lita standing there. McMahon asks about Lita saying she
was inspired. Lita tries to talk, but McMahon tells her to shut up. McMahon
says what's inspiring is seeing Lita tonight in a match against Stephanie.
He tells her to bring the Hardy Boyz as well for this is a six man match
with Steve Austin and Triple H.

the table and go for the 3-D, but Justin Credible pulls him out. Albert
comes from the outside and hits the Baldo Bomb on Buh-Buh through the table. |
Vince is shown in his locker room packing up. Triple H asks if this
tag match is a good idea. Vince tells him and Steph not to be so selfish
all the time. He's got faimly problems to straighten out.
Team Extreme is in their locker room and Matt's trying to figure out
how Lita got them into this situation. Matt asks Jeff what he thinks. Jeff
says he loves it. He should go thank Vince right now. Matt should realize
what kind of opportunity this is. Austin and Triple H aren't a team, like
them. They aren't tight, like the Hardyz. Jeff says tonight, they go out
ther and take on Austin, Triple H, and Steph and tonight, they go out there
and beat Austin, Triple H,and Stephanie.
