I missed the Owens and Ezekiel match. Whether he's Elias or Ezekiel, whoever KO's opponent is apparently has a torn pec and a really good razor. If you ever wanted to know how a pale shrunken Ultimate Warrior would appear, look no further than Zeke.
Owens is extremely agile and he hit (and even missed) some sweet off-the-top rope moves. But after two superkicks and a Stunner, KO got the W.
I'll finish the main event a little later. But, once again, Rollins has a "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" moment. This time, he heads to the ring and under his trench coat, he breaks out....THE YELLOW POLKA DOTS!!! That's Mr. "Freakin" for you.
Good GRIEF!!! Rhodes is black and blue from his right arm and pec, making a hush fall over the crowd. He can’t move his arm at all but he is still doing the match.
Since he can't use his right arm much, he goes for the legs via a Figure 4, after partially nailing a "Cody Cutter". Rollins grabs the ropes, but there's no rope break. So, he scratches under the ring apron, grabbing the tool box. The crowd starts to peak, thinking Rollins is going to crack Rhodes in the head with a wrench. But, NO, it's the old tried/TIRED and true kendo stick.
The, the Visionary proceeds to stab his opponent in the ever-blueing/blackening flesh on his pec. Now comes some ring steps into the arm, and it just looks gruesome.
Now, James E. Cornette commented about this silliness awhile ago. That is, people stashing toys under the ring before the match. In this case, Rollins breaks out a black weight belt with polka dots and the word "Visionary" in red. He proceeds to lash the Nightmare with the strap and we get more welts on an already bruised.
Rhodes makes the comeback; he goes under the ring and, from his conveniently placed black bag, retrieves a bull rope with a cowbell. He challenges Rollins to fasten one end to his wrist, with the other already strapped to Rhodes' good arm.
After a lot of jerking and flipping of Rollins with the rope, the former Stardust has his opponent seeing stars, courtesy of a cowbell right between the eyes. Unfortunately, it's not sufficient to merit a three-count (again, I thought bonking people in the head with metal objects was a no-no in the post-Benoit WWE).
Rollins recovers and says enough with the bull rope after yanking Rhodes in the post repeatedly. It's table time. But Rhodes turns the tide. A power bomb attempt fails with bad arm. But, Rollins has no such issue. Yet, despite smashing Rhodes through the table, Rollins can't get the three count.
STOP!! HAMMER TIME!! It's Rollins, using the old tool of his mentor. The Nightmare kicks the Visionary in the gut. Rollins reverses for a pedigree attempt; Rhodes reverses that and hit the pedigree himself. But, yet there's no three count. But, just when it looks to be over, CURB-STOMP!! But, the Revolutionary is denied the pinfall
Now, we play "Cross-Rhodes" go-round!! First, Rhodes goes for it; then Rollins counters and HITS IT....BUT WAIT, Rhodes shakes it off and hits it!! But, no Pinball for the Nightmare!! They both scramble for the hammer. Rhodes gets it, swings, and missed. Rollins obtains the hammer; he swings and misses. Finally, in a HULK UP that would make Hogan proud, the grandson of a plumber applies the move three consecutive time. Then, to add the cherry on top, he conks Rollins in the bean with the sledgehammer. After all of that, Mr. Rhodes (torn pec, blackened arm, and all) gets the precious three count for the win and thunderous applause.
