MORDECAI VS. SCOTTY 2 HOTTY


Scotty 2 Hotty enters the match, high fiving fans on the way to the ring. Mordecai enters with a bit less flair, Michael Cole and Tazz are on commentary and they say they don't know much about him. He bows in the corner before the match starts. Scotty looks concerned.

MORDECAI VS. SCOTTY 2 HOTTY
WWE Judgement Day (16th May 2004)

The bell rings and Scotty goes for a headlock but Mordecai lifts him and throws him down to the mat, then he sends Scotty's shoulder into the ringpost. After forcing Scotty into a crossface on himself Mordecai exits the ring, driving his knee into Scotty 2 Hotty's chest as he hangs out of the ring. A clubbing blow brings it back into the ring, where Mordecai sends Scotty into the ring post. Rope-assisted standing camel clutch follows, Mordecai breaks to avoid disqualification, but goes back to it and puts an exclamation point on it with a boot to the head. Scotty 2 Hotty fights back to his feet but he gets cut off with a knee to the gut. Mordecai sends Scotty across the ring but the clothesline is ducked. Scotty 2 Hotty brings Mordecai down with a bulldog setting him up for The Worm but he gets dragged into the middle rope. Mordecai beats on Scotty, decapitating him with a short-arm clothesline. Mordecai's busted his lip, but it won't make a difference now as he finishes the match with a crucifix bomb.

WINNER: MORDECAI

This was a short exhibition for a new character at the time, putting him over a popular lower card guy. In retrospect, it's a fun glimpse at the first time WWE did single brand pay-per-views. Scotty 2 Hotty got the flurry of offense in the match, but was in the later stages of his career so he made the new kid on the block look at least worth the price of admission.– no stars for the match but personally 2/10 squash.
