I always forget that at this point Ivory was a 14 YEAR VETERAN! They have her in sub 5-minute matches, because..? Lita has been wrestling for just under 2 years for comparison, debuting 9th January 1999.
Before the match, The Radicalz are in Triple H’s dressing
room, Mick Foley enters to tell them all that Triple H is out there alone
tonight and he’s making his match with Steve Austin No Holds Barred, but Triple H has no problem with the conditions.
Right to Censor’s damn music plays as Ivory makes her way out alone. She hit Lita with the WWF Women’s Championship belt the previous Thursday on Smackdown, so this is a serious grudge match. Lita makes her way out as JR says she wants the title back.
Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler are on commentary for
this match. With The Fink handling ring announcing duties.
IVORY © VS. LITA
(WWF Women’s
Championship)
WWF Survivor Series 2000 (19th November 2000)
Lita starts the match immediately, taking Ivory down. Ivory is thrown across the ring and into the corner before King makes a comment about not wanting to see up her skirt, which in honesty should be considered restraint.
Lita connects with right hands and a knee to the midsection, but it’s her visible thong that gets a mention. Ivory is sent across the ring but she gets her boot up as Lita charges. The fans are behind Lita and she quickly turns it around with a hip toss. They mess up the next spot and Lita gets a run-up for the go-behind. Then they get back to it as Lita reruns the ropes, ducking a clothesline and a back elbow before kicking Ivory. Ivory catches the next kick until the enziguri connects. Ivory connects with right hands, Lita reverses an irish whip but is sent across the ring as Ivory counters the O’Conor roll attempt. Lita hits a clothesline for a nearfall, I wish this was over. Jerry Lawler doesn’t even mention the incredibly visible blood on Lita’s face as she’s knocked back into the corner. Ivory knocks Lita down in the corner.
Ivory presses her boot against Lita’s chest (Which I think should have been a choke) before choking her across the top rope. Ivory slingshots Lita off the rope and hits a legdrop and an elbow drop for a nearfall. Ivory gets some heavy boot shots in on Lita’s midsection and brings her to her feet. Ivory puts Lita in the arm wringer and gets some more shots in before a suplex gets her another nearfall. Lita is sent into the ropes but spikes Ivory on her head with a hurricanrana. She hits another as we see a replay of how Ivory cut Lita’s head earlier with a right hand. Lita gets a nearfall as Steven Richards makes his way down to watch the proceedings. Lita sends Ivory to the floor next to Richards and hits a crossbody on to both of them! Lita brings Ivory back in the ring and hits another crossbody, but she only gets 2. Steven Richards pulls Ivory out of the ring as Lita goes for the Litasault. Ivory grabs the women’s title.
Lita ducks the belt shot and hits a back suplex on the champion, she removes her shirt and goes for another Moonsault, she hits it but lands on the title belt, Ivory covers and retains the title.
WINNER: IVORY (STILL WWF Women’s Champion)
This was a match. It was clunky and shouldn’t have been on Pay-Per-View. Ivory had to use the belt and Steven Richards to win, so Lita has an out, but it wasn’t anything close to what they should be capable of. [½*] 0.5/10
