MIDEON VS. GODFATHER

The opening video package focuses on tonight's main event. Comparing Triple H's attacks on Austin to stock war footage. Heavy dance music plays us into the Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, Good Ol' JR and Jerry “The King” Lawler call the action tonight. They hype the main event before The Godfather enters the match with 4 Hoes. This match was made earlier on Heat. We see Viscera attacking Godfather the previous Thursday on Smackdown. He cuts a subtle promo promoting prostitution and weed smoking before Mideon enters along with Viscera. Mideon crawls into the ring and before the match Godfather gets down to his level and says since he doesn't have farm animals and Mideon doesn't want Hoes, he'll have to beat Mideon. You know what, at least it's some kind of story for a match, that's refreshing to see.

They lock up to a stalemate and exchange right hands as JR mentions tonight's main event is now no disqualification, no count-out, and no holds barred. Godfather knees Mideon in the midsection and sends his head into the turnbuckle. Godfather lays in forearms in the corner and sends Mideon off the ropes into a powerslam. He doesn't cover yet, laying in some boots to Mideon on the mat. Viscera is outside introducing himself to the Hoes as Godfather sends Mideon off the ropes again. He hits Mideon in the ribs and knocks him down with a hook kick. He really could have made that a signature as a “hooker kick” and I bet it would have gotten over. Mideon is sent from corner to corner but Godfather notices Viscera on the outside, he goes to check on his hoes but Mideon sends him to the floor. Mideon fucks up a rib breaker on the outside, Viscera sends Godfather into the side of the ring then rolls him back in.

Mideon hits a jawbreaker and clubs at Godfather, who's getting to his feet. Mideon sends Godfather off the ropes into a back elbow. He covers but Godfather kicks out at 1 so Mideon goes to the chinlock. Godfather makes it to his feet and elbows free, he gets Mideon down with a sunset flip but Viscera has the referee distracted, giving Mideon plenty of time to kick out. Mideon sends Godfather down with a clothesline, then sends him from corner to corner. Godfather is choked with the top rope, referee Tim White tells Mideon how close he was to being disqualified as Viscera takes a cheap shot from outside. Mideon begins choking Godfather with his boot, then brings the referee away for a couple more cheap shots. Godfather is knocked back into the corner but fights back with kicks to the midsection. He sends Mideon across the ring but the Ho Train runs into Mideon's boot. Another clothesline by Mideon gets him a nearfall. Godfather crawls towards the ropes and Mideon chokes him again. To be honest that one is his own fault.

Mideon beats down Godfather in the corner and chokes him again with his boot. Bringing Tim White away so Viscera can get in more cheap shots. Godfather falls from the ring and is slammed by Mideon as he gets back in. Mideon goes to the middle rope but Godfather rolls out of the way of the elbow drop. He blocks a right hand and knocks Mideon into the ropes. An irish whip sends Mideon into a clothesline, Godfather hits another then slams Mideon. Godfather hits a running leg drop and only gets 2. Mideon eats another slam but the Vader Bomb by Godfather lands on Mideon's knees. Godfather rolls out of the ring but Mideon follows. He sends Godfather into the post, then holds him in place for Viscera to charge. Godfather moves out of the way at the last second and sends Mideon back into the ring. Godfather sends Mideon into the corner and hits the Ho Train, rolling him up for the win.

WINNER: GODFATHER

This was a good match to warm the crowd up. Viscera did enough to make an impact in the match but not so much that it was annoying, Besides the rib breaker attempt on the floor it was a clean match, they did enough to get the crowd invested and it was a solid opener..– As a match, it's ** but personally I'd rate it 4.5/10

After the match Godfather knocks Viscera off the apron, the Hoes come in the ring to celebrate and Godfather sends them to the referee instead. In an instant mood-changer, we see Triple H faking a facial injury from a rattlesnake and the bait-and-switch surrender of the belt to Steve Austin. He cut a promo on Heat earlier tonight, he congratulates himself on the Oscar-winning performance on Thursday and comes out with the classic line “what a maroon” it's long-winded and I chuckled when it was suddenly cut off.
