Rob Van Dam (Battle Creek, MI, 230 pounds) vs John Heidenreich (New Orleans, LO, 275 pounds) - Rob approves of Fink's announcing. Your hosts are Al and Coach. "Another star studded night on Heat". Al gives all credit to StevieCorp. Ah, someone decided to see just how flexible RVD can be. "[John] is a brutal, and I mean brutal, competitor." Lockup, RVD pushed down, but he rolls through it. Points To Self. John, apparently having turned heel since the last time we saw him, misses a clothesline, RVD with punches that leave much to be desired, John ends that with a knee. Whip, head down too soon, RVD rolls over him, wheel dropkick connects. Rights, kicks in the corner. Shoulder, shoulder, superfluously flip, John makes him pay with a clothesline. Stomp. Side backbreaker. One two no. Forearm to the back. So they're not letting him work the head. Corner whip, RVD grabs his back. Repeat. Elevated bearhug. RVD fighting out with forearms, but John runs him back first in the corner. Charge, but RVD gets his boot up. Up to the second rope, somersault senton bodyblock (we'll say), but John is up first and clotheslining RVD back down. Al debates that it should be called a 'hilo'. Back to the bearhug. RVD elbows out. Forearm. John tries to stop this with a kick, but it's caught and John tastes the step over heel kick. John up again, but charging right into a drop toe hold into the middle buckle. RVD off the ropes, wheel kick. Up top, top rope kick to the chest. Sliding dropkick to push John into position, Rolling Thunder, one two no. RVD with a kick off the ropes, and right into the side slam. That was his move back when he had a move, and John yells before covering. one two NO. Forearm to the back. Forearm to the back. Corner whip, no back to the same corner, right hand. Suplex, no, RVD lands behind, loses his balance, back up, ducks a back elbow, springboard kick to the head. That's it. Up to the top. Five Star Frog Splash. Crawling back over one two three. (5:02) Replay of splash. And another. But what of Little Johnny?

Boot for Rude, clothesline for Pat, back elbow for Rude, side slam for Pat, scoop slam for Bobby. Spinning legdrop one two Pat breaks it up.

Cade runs right into a powerslam, but D-Von hurt himself on it and doesn't cover. Jindrak over but D-Von punching him to put a stop to it. Jindrak stops him with a knee, but Cade accidentally clotheslines Jindrak for no clear reason (D-Von didn't have to duck, because he was already ducking - that Cade meant to hit D-Von was the idea, I'm sure.) Inside cradle on Cade one two NO. D-Von is hurting but hitting a corner clothesline. D-Von is staggered, but manages to put Cade on the top rope. Meanwhile, Jindrak trips Bubba on the apron, and Bubba's head hits the apron. He's probably done. Jindrak in but Chioda is trying to block him from getting to D-Von.
