Report by Brad Jennette, EXCLUSIVELY for www.insidepulse.com

AYAYLELEAYALELEALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muhammad Hassan and Daivari come to the ring to some nice heel heat. Hassan encites the crowd and they chant “USA” before he gets on the mic. Hassan says this weekend that Americans will be celebrating Independance Day. Hassan says he has a slightly different perspective then the rest of his fellow Americans. Hassan thinks its a joke that Americans celebrate equality among men when its clear Hassan and Daivari are prisoners in their own country. Dammit, Hassan isn’t going to take it anymore. Hassan says it ends TONIGHT. Hassan is going to win the five man elimination match and be on top of the world looking down on all the people just like they look down on Hassan and his people. Hassan says last week he took out a 7 foot, 500 lbs giant last week. Hassan runs down the Undertaker, mentioning how he lost to JBL two weeks ago. All of a sudden, the lights go out and the gongs hit. Taker strolls out to the ring to his usual monster pop. Taker brings the lights back on with his arms and stares a hole right into Hassan. Taker shoots a look at Daivari who quickly bails out of the ring. Hassan says maybe Taker isn’t like the rest of these Americans. Hassan quickly tries to suck up to Taker saying he’s had a legendary career…. only he hasn’t beaten the LEGENDARY Muhammed Hassan! Taker quickly grabs Hassan by the throat, but Daivari comes out of nowhere and chairs Taker in the back. Taker no sells it and turns around and delivers a chokeslam to Daivari! Hassan bails the ring as Taker’s music hits.

Commercial break.

Moments Ago: The Undertaker chokeslammed Daivari as Hassan ran away scared.

Cruiserweight Title Match: Paul London (C) v. Chavo Guerrero
This is a return match from last week’s no contest thanks to the Mexicools. Chavo gets a quick drop toehold and they work over a chain wrestling sequence. London unleashes some forearm shivers and then hits the middle rope double mule kick that sends Chavo to the outside. Chavo quickly regains control and works over London in the corner with boots. Chavo hits a back suplex for 2. Chavo hits a nice short arm clothesline for another 2. Chavo counters a slingshot with a stiff kick to the chest, but London counters a crossbody with a dropkick. Both men are down and WE HAVE MARIACHI MUSIC! Juventud, Psicosis & Super Crazy ride down on seperate John Deere riding lawnmowers! It’s a three on two beatdown as the Mexicools have the advantage. Psicosis lays out time keeper Mark Yates with a stiff microphone shot to the face. Juvi gets on the mic and asks if there are Mexicans in the house! Big pops for that. He asks two more times and gets huge ovations. Juvi says he has a special message for all the Mexicans in the house. The gringos think all the Mexicans are fat and lazy and quite frankly…. THEY ARE RIGHT. Juvi says that all the Mexicans should RISE UP against the Gringos. Psicosis and Super Crazy introduce themselves as Juvi asks for the Mexicans to join their revolution! Juvi calls himself the JUICE and they are the MEXICOOLS! In a hilarious touch, the John Deere lawnmowers that the guys rode out on are labeled as Juan Deere’s!
Winner – No Contest

Commercial break.

We get a recap of last week’s match between Eddy Guerrero and Rey Mysterio.

Backstage, Josh Matthews is with Eddy. Eddy was grinning last week after he lost because he knows the truth. Eddy says that tonight Rey is going to BEG him not to tell the truth.

Backstage, Melina is stretching up for her match with Michelle McCool. They run down Anaheim, calling it a second rate Los Angeles. Melina makes the boys stay in the back as she wants to do this herself. She walks to the ring with the flashbulbs still in tow.

Commercial break.

They show a highlight clip of the Smackdown tour of Europe. They sold out everynight in front of some rabid fans.

Melina v. Michelle McCool
Melina is truely a sight to behold. Michelle immediately spears Melina down then baseball slides her to the outside. Michelle chases Melina around and dropkicks her in the face. Melina begs for a handshake and she uses the chance to cheapshot Michelle. Melina chokes Michelle on the ropes, but Michelle comes back and kicks her down. Michelle does the 10 punch count in the corner, but Melina powerbombs her out of the corner and pins her with her feet on the ropes.
Winner – Melina

After the match, MNM stroll down to the ring and casually deliver the Snapshot to Michelle. Heidenreich sprints to the ring, but the damage has already been done.

Backstage, Chris Benoit is preparing for the big 5 man elimination match with some pushups.

Commercial break.

Can you feel the HEAT? Psycho Eddy casually strolls to the ring in a yellow tanktop, looking as evil as ever. Eddy admits that Rey Mysterio beat him AGAIN last week. Eddy says everyone probably thinks he’s a loser. Eddy says the only loser is Rey Mysterio. Eddy says he did a little bit of soul searching and he took a camera to document his little journey. Eddy thinks this video is very interesting because it involves one of Rey’s family members. Eddy shows the clip. It’s Eddy in the playground of Rey’s son Dominic’s daycare. Eddy is gonna kill Rey’s kid STRAIGHT RUDO BABY!!! Rey’s kid is as big as Rey. Eddie’s gonna get Rey’s kid hooked on heroin! Rudo heroin! The video is really creepy. Basically the video implied that Eddy is Dominic’s real father. Rey immediately comes out and begs Eddy not to do this. Eddy pushes Rey down and screams that he ALWAYS ENDS UP VICTORIOUS NO MATTER HOW HE HAS TO DO IT. Eddy demands that Rey get on his knees and BEG HIM not to tell the truth. Rey gets down on his knees and begs Eddy not to tell. Eddy pulls out some Twizzlers and asks Rey if he wants some candy. Eddy shoves Rey down again and tells him to chew on that. Fucking awesome.
