[darthobiwan]

What happens in 2004?

Are Rey, Billy, & Paul able to beat Dudleys?

Does Matt save Lita from Kane (and get to marry her)?

Does Booker go 1-0 in their best of 5 series?

Does either Batista or Jericho win IC belt over Edge?

Does Eddie get another one over Kurt?

Is Euguene able to beat the Game?

Does Undertaker get 1 more wwe title reign and end JBLs reign much earlier?

Does Benoit stay WHC and delay Orton coronation?

Eddie, Taker and Matt Hardy

Eugene should go over Triple H

[darthobiwan]

Come to think of it, Nick Dinsmore/Eugene probably should have at least either become a more serious character or at least a "less controversial one" and he could have been a bigger star.

We are LIVE from Toronto, Ontario, Canada for Summerslam 2004. With have 8 matches tonight, with 3 of them being title matches, and one of them being for the right to marry a woman.

Opening match is a 6 man tag team match with all 3 Dudleys vs Billy Kidman, Paul London, and Rey Mysterio. Classic Dudleys are able deliver a 3D to Kidman, leading to Spike picking up the win for the team.

*Second match is a "Till Death Do Us Part match", with Kane vs Matt Hardy (Lita will have to marry the winner). Matt is able to give it his all to attack the big red monster, while Kane holds Hardy at bay with clotheslines and bodyslams. At one point Kane chokeslams Matt and looks to pin him, but Lita jumps onto apron and distracts Kane. The Big Red Machine then grabs Lita, but without him noticing Matt sneaks behind him and attacks Kane with a chair (it's no DQ rules). Matt then delivers a twist of fate onto Kane... but Kane sits up with 3 seconds!
Matt then throws the chair onto mat and delivers a second twist of fate, this time Kane goes facefirst onto chair, and that's enough to pin him!!! Matt Hardy has beaten Kane... and he gets to marry his sweetheart Lita!!!
Lita jumps into Matt's arms and they kiss and celebrate they will get to tie the knot (and hopefully be rid of the Kane threat).

Booker T and John Cena begin their first match in their best of 5 series next for US title. Cena goes 1-0 by pinning Booker after an FU.

*Fourth match is 3 way for Intercontinental title, as Edge defends against Batista and Chris Jericho. The 3 men fight back and forth for 15 minutes, and at one point Edge and Jericho double-team to dropkick Batista out of the ring. After another 30 seconds of fighting, Edge spears Jericho, but before he can pin him Batista jumps back into the ring and powerbombs Edge, then pins Jericho! Batista is the NEW Intercontinental champion!!!
After Big Dave is handed the title, he walks up the ramp and other Evolution guys (HHH, Flair, and Orton) all walk out and celebrate with Batista.

Fifth match is a rematch from Wrestlemania 20, Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle. Luther Reigns attempts to get out and assist Angle, but Eddie fights off the attacks. Eddie tries going for a frogsplash, but Angle reverses into an ankle lock and makes Eddie tap out.

*Sixth match is HHH vs Eugene. Ric Flair attempted to assist HHH hy hitting Eugene, but he was caught by referee and ejected from the match. William Regal came out to hit Flair with brass knucks. HHH took advantage and slowly attacked Eugene while mocking him. Hhh attempted to go for a pedigree to finish Eugene off, but Bischoff's nephew had a trick up his sleeve and he pulled a Shawn Michaels from Summerslam 2002 and grabbed Hunter's legs to roll him up into a surprise pinfall! Eugene had beaten HHH!!!
After the match Eugene and Regal celebrate and a stunned HHH is questioning the referee insisting it was a 2 count when referee states "nope its 3". HHH shoves down referee in frustration, leading to Regal handing Eugene the brass knucks and Eugene knocks out HHH with a knucks filled punch for good measure!

Seventh match is for WWE championship, as JBL defends against Undertaker. JBL resorted to cheating as he attacks Undertaker with the belt with the referee knocked out. Undertaker fights back and nails JBL with the belt as well, but referee sees this and DQs Undertaker. JBL stays champion, but Undertaker gets last laugh as he chokeslams JBL through the roof of the limousine he rode out in!

Main event is for WHC, as Chris Benoit defended against Randy Orton. Orton holds his own against the Crippler, and after 22 minute bout he RKOs Benoit and pins him, therefore becoming the youngest ever world champion in WWE at 24!
After the match, Benoit shakes hands with Randy out of respect, and he gets cheers from crowd despite his affliction with Evolution.

The 3 traditional WWE titles (wwe, IC, and tag belts) all seem to have close percentage changes (42-50%). Kane has tied Warrior and Bret for 5 on all time changes list, with the big red machine having plenty of chances of becoming sole leader in the future. HHH and Edge both had their second Summerslam get changed (not in their favor too lol).
