JR and The King rejoin us and they are up to call the next match. They introduce us to a package that shows Eric Bischoff and Shane McMahon’s feud. It shows Bischoff trying to have Shane escorted from RAW. Stone Cold comes out and makes them have a match instead. Kane interferes, and eventually Tombstones Shane ‘O’ Mac on ring stairs and this allows Bischoff to make the cover. Austin then tricks Bischoff into signing a contract that he thought was for a match with Shane. Turns out it was for a match with Kane. I’m sure Austin did this because he was fired from WCW by Eric, via FedEx. Kane doesn’t beat him and instead allows himself to be counted out. Austin then tells Bischoff that the contract stated the winner of that match is to face Shane McMahon at SummerSlam. The video ends with Eric in the house of Linda McMahon and he is telling her that he plans to beat her son into a bloody pulp. He then proceeds to hold Linda’s hands behind her back as he attempts to make out with her and asks to be shown into her bedroom. Wow, Bro, wow.

Eric Bischoff is the first man to the ring for this match. He isn’t greeted very warmly by the fans either. Bischoff takes to the mic as soon as he hits the ring. He tears into Vince first saying “Why are you running all over the country eating hamburgers when you’ve got a hot, juicy filet mignon at home?” Again, Wow Dude. He then answers the question everyone has been waiting for. What happened between him and Linda McMahon? He gives the crowd the answer they want and says “It’s not a question of if it happened, It’s a question of how many times it happened.” He continues with “It happened again and again and again.” Shane McMahon’s “Monay, Monay” theme cuts Bischoff off and Shane comes shuffling out onto the entrance ramp. As soon as Shane hits the ring he goes to work with a flurry punches that knock Bischoff into the corner. Some elbows to Eric’s face are next and some kicks follow those. Eric seems to have had enough, and leaves the ring to head up the entrance ramp. Shane chases him down and levels him with a clothesline. The ref starts to count them out but Shane slides into stop the count and then resumes beating Bischoff on the outside. He bangs Bischoff off the security wall before he slides back in to stop the count. Shane understands ring psychology better than most in the business and it really shows here. Next Shane leads Bischoff to the SmackDown announce table and bangs his face off it. This is when we see the Heel turn from Jonathon Coachman and he attacks McMahon from behind with a chair. The ref signals for the bell to be rung, but Bischoff stops it and gets on the mic. He declares that this is now a no DQ, falls count anywhere match. Coach then slams Shane into the steps and Bischoff makes the cover. He counts along on the mic, but Shane ‘O’ Mac kicks out. Coach and Bischoff then return Shane to the ring and Coach starts to call Bischoff’s moves in the ring, play-by-play. Coach continues to berate Shane as he holds him up for Bischoff to kick. Shane eventually kicks Bischoff in the midsection and throws Coach off of him. Next he DDTs Eric which gets the crowd is popping and coming back to life. Coach lands a low blow to stop Shane’s momentum and this is when we hear that old familiar glass break. The arena is electric and on their toes as Stone Cold Steve Austin enters.

When Steve hits the ring Coach stops him and he tells Austin “I don’t work for you, I work for Eric Bischoff.” Coach lays into Austin some more before saying “..and remember Steve you can’t touch me unless I touch you first.” At this time Shane pushes Coach into Austin so Austin can now hit him with the Stunner. The crowd explodes when the Stone Cold Stunner is unleashed. Austin then flips Coach the birds before he stomps a mudhole in his ass. Shane soon joins in the fun and helps Steve stomp the mudhole. They then whip Coach into the ropes and hit him with double back elbows. Shane then picks Bischoff up and uses his hand to slap Austin. Well this means Austin can Stun Bischoff, and he most certainly does. The crowd goes nuts as Shane goes for the cover but at the count of two Shane picks Bischoff off the mat, and thus stops the count. Shane then rolls Eric from the ring and begins to dismantle the Spanish announce table. Shane puts Bischoff on the table and heads north. Next thing we know Shane is flying off the top turnbuckle and driving the elbow into the chest of Bischoff. He makes the cover and gets the three count. The crowd is in an absolute frenzy as Shane ‘O’ Mac is declared the winner. Stone Cold then calls for some Steve-weisers and tosses one to Shane. The two then proceed to pound beers in the ring, when they show us Bischoffs blood is leaking from his face. This was a great match when Shane was leading the charge. The Bischoff fronted segments were lame, but short. That being said this one has been the best on the card so far. Match Time:10:36

We see the legendary Ric Fair and he is telling fellow Evolution member, Randy Orton that Triple H enters the Elimination Chamber Champion and he will leave the same way. Triple H enters next and really drives the point home. Ric looks skeptical but Randy Orton reassures him that he’s “got it”.

We are introduced to the Fatal Four Way match next that is for the US Title. Chris Benoit enters first and Tajiri soon follows. Rhyno is next and at this point not much pop is going on for these men. When Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero enters in the lime green low rider the crowd is going bonkers. He drops it a few times before he exits and heads to the ring with the US Title strapped around his waist. Before the match Tazz and Cole are sure to remind us that under Fatal Four Way rules the champ doesn’t have to be involved in the decision to lose the Title. Rhyno and Benoit start the match and the bumps are stiff. When Benoit locks in an early Crippler Crossface Guerrero enters for the first time to break it up. But he is quick to exit again as Tajiri comes in and starts to unload some buzzsaw kicks. When Tajiri tries to cover, Benoit Guerrero re-enters to again stop the count. This time Rhyno chases after Eddie but he once again escapes the ring.  Rhyno now leads the charge and as soon as he goes for the cover, Guerrero is there to stop it. This time he doesn’t escape as Chris Benoit is there to catch him. It’s utter chaos for a moment now as all four men are in the ring and working. Eddie eventually gains the momentum and clears the ring some. He clotheslines Rhyno over the top rope and then suplexs Benoit over another. This leaves Guerrero and Tajiri going one-on-one for a bit but Tajiri comes out on top. Tajiri soon is going for a cover after he hits a backbreaker, but Rhyno is back in the ring to break it up. Benoit re-enters the picture and the chaos continues.

The next high spot is when Rhyno powerplexs Benoit off the top turnbuckle. When he goes for the cover Tajiri is there to break it up. Tajiri leads the charge for a bit with his signature kicks, and the crowd explodes when he comes off the ropes and hits Benoit with a flipping back elbow. Eddie locks Tajiri in a clover leaf while Benoit locks Rhyno into a Crippler Crossface at the same time. Tajiri escapes the hold by getting to the ropes, and this leads to Eddie breaking Benoit’s hold. But for this Eddie ends up in the hold until Rhyno and Tajiri break it up. Rhyno almost gets the victory after he delivers a vicious spinebuster on Tajiri but he manages to kick out. Rhyno is then dropkicked from the ring by Benoit. Benoit then hits two of his three German suplexs but Tajiri escapes after the second one and rolls Chris Benoit up. But he kicks out and it isn’t over yet. When Tajiri locks the Tarantula in, the crowd goes nuts. But Rhyno and Guerrero re-enter the ring and Rhyno tries for the spear. It backfires, though, because Guerrero has the Strap in his hands and drives it into the face of Rhyno. But the ref is distracted by the Tarantula hold in the corner. Eddie goes up top and but Tajiri is there to kick him off the top rope. Tajiri gets caught in the tree-of-woe and Benoit jumps over him to deliver the diving headbutt to Rhyno. Tajiri stops the pin attempt and when he tries to hurricanrana Benoit it doesn’t go as planned ad he gets powerbombed to the outside. Benoit is wrapped in his legs and he joins him in the stumble. This was a brutal bump, as were most of them in this match. Guerrero quickly goes up top and hits Rhyno with a perfectly executed frogsplash. He goes for the cover and gets the three. And Eddie Guerrero maintains the WWE US Championship. This match was chaos to cover and it isn’t done justice like most matches are in text form. Go out and watch this one as it is great and features two legends that are no longer with us, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Match Time:10:50
