Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn, accompanied by Terri, make their way out to provide guest commentary for the upcoming tag match.  I certainly didn’t think that in 2001 the name ‘the Radicalz’ would still be in operation, but that’s what they’re referring to these two as.  A blinkered Malenko still seems to believe that he’s the apple of Lita’s eye and if Matt wants to go one on one with him over her, he’s happy to do so any time.  Jim Ross wonders why a married man like him is lusting after her, however he claims that in his family it’s his wife who is married, not him!  Double wheelbarrow suplex on Taka and Funaki is in to break up the cover.  Matt drags him to the outside and the Hardyz with the old ‘Hart Attack’ on him, Jeff flying off the barricade to deliver the clothesline .  The brothers forget about Taka though who wipes them out with an Asai moonsault.  Combination camel clutch/dropkick to the face on Jeff.  As Taka comes off the middle he gets a foot up and hits a jawbreaker before making the hot, actually more like tepid, tag.  A Taka superkick prevents the ‘Twist of Fate’ as all four men end up in the ring.  Fuck, Funaki ducks out the way of ‘Poetry in Motion however Jeff is able to readjust and land on the top turnbuckle.  He then goes to leap from there out onto Taka, only slips, and lands bollock first right on the ring post.  As he crashes down to ringside I can’t begin to imagine how painful that was.  Somehow he still finishes the match, hitting the ‘Swanton bomb’ after a ‘Twist of Fate’.   Post-match Lita says something to Malenko, ‘the King’ naively thinking that she wants him, but when he leaves his seat he’s attacked from behind by Matt.  Saturn tries to help his fellow Radical although gets taken out by a flying Jeff.
