Beginning:

Chavo's music hits and Chavo's introduced. He draws major heat and "Eddie" chants.
Chavo says that he knows the people think that Eddie beat him badly at the Royal
Rumble, but that simply is not the truth. In fact, He has to apologize to the people
because at the Royal Rumble he held back and that's why Eddie beat him. He could
never hurt his own uncle. He's not like Eddie. With that Eddie runs out and starts
laying in. Kurt Angle heads out to break things up. Chavo sneaks in a cheap shot.
Paul Heyman comes out and says that after what happened at the Royal Rumble, He
can't allow a rematch in good conscience. So the main event tonight will feature
Eddie Guerrero teaming with Rey Mysterio to face Chavo Guerrero and... Kurt Angle!

Winners and still Tag Team Champions - The Basham Brothers

We are told that someone will win a JVC Tower of Power, but the music hits and
Smackdown GM Paul Heyman comes to the ring and says that no one winning anything
until he says so. Heyman says that last night at the Royal Rumble, The Big Show
tossed John Cena out of the ring and Cena twisted his leg. Heyman says that Cena was
too proud and stubborn that he refused help and medical attention to leave the Royal
Rumble on his own. Heyman says that John Cena is the type of person who would
compete tonight even if both of his legs were cut off and he had to crawl to the
ring, But Heyman's not going to let him. as of now, Cena is on a medical suspension!
Cena's music hits a Cena limps to the ring with a knee brace. He says that he wants
a match tonight against... Heyman! Heyman cowers to the corner and Cena is pearl
harbored by the A-Train. In comes none other than Billy Gunn to make the save. Gunn
drops A-Train with the Fame-Asser. Heyman orders the Refs to remove John Cena from
the
building. Heyman says that Billy Gunn will regret the decision that he just made.
Heyman had no problem with Billy Gunn, but he does now. Heyman says Billy Gunn
needs to find a tag partner for his handicapped match tonight. Heyman says no one
wants to tag with Gunn since he's beaten almost everyone and no one likes him. He
doesn't have much time because the match will start NOW! His first opponent is the
six foot ten 350 pound Matt Morgan. Next is the 500 pound Big Show. If that wasn't
enough, their partner is the WWE Champion Brock Lesnar! Heyman says that since
Billy hasn't found a partner it'll be three on one, but Hardcore Holly's music hits
and he makes his way out.

Aftermath - The referee signals the X and we have an injury. Matt Morgan is down on
the outside after being clotheslined over by Holly. Seems to be serious as they try
to lift Morgan up but he's barely moving. The FBI and others come out and it takes a
good half hour until they secure Morgan in a stretcher. Doesn't look good for Morgan
at all. What is it with Reading and injuries. From the cursed match in which Bubba,
Randy Orton, and Batista were injured to this, Reading seems to be a place where a
lot of superstars get injured. I didn't have that great of a view, but it sure
didn't look good for MM. My prayers go out to him.

Match #7 - Rhyno vs. Bradshaw

Rhyno makes his way down to the ring followed by Bradshaw. Rhyno takes the mic and
says he doesn't suck, but Reading does. Bradshaw gets on the mic and says that he
sucks... beer that is and he heard that not only does Rhyno suck, but he swallows.
Rhyno says that the people are too cheap to give Bradshaw a beer. Bradshaw makes his
way out and returns with a beer. He brings in a chair, drinks the beer, and chucks
the bottle at Rhyno. Rhyno takes it to Bradshaw right away and locks in a head
scissors. The match goes back and forth until Rhyno sets up for a Gore, but misses.

three count.
