1. Godfather over D'Lo Brown
Godfather came out and did his usual spiel and said all that "roll a fatty"
stuff. Godfather asked D'Lo why he gave up the Hoes and D'Lo said because
Godfather sucked. D'Lo nearly got booed out of the place with chants of
"D'Lo Sucks!" The match was pretty good, although rather slow. The
Godfather went for one ho train and missed, he eventually hit one and scored
the pin to win the match. D'Lo attacked afterwards, and then Godfather
eventually got back in control and got D'Lo to leave. Tim White danced with
the hoes.
2. Dean Malenko over Perry Saturn to retain the Light Heavyweight Title.
Both Malenko and Saturn came out to no pop whatsoever. The match was good
with lots of submission maneuvers, and a very exciting series of roll-ups
although it ended up being very boring. Malenko ended it with a roll-up.
3. T&A over the Acolytes.
Big surprise here figuring virtually all of the other faces won their
matches. Trish Stratus looked very hot, but she said that all of us men in
Anaheim were nothing but a bunch of losers. APA came out to a huge pop.
Faarooq did his spinebuster slam off on Test. There was much a scuffle in
this match. Bradshaw did almost nothing, Albert did nothing but help Test
double team Faarooq, Bradshaw went to powerbomb Trish who kept buggin' but
Albert stopped him and it ended with a Pumphandle slam from Test on Bradshaw.
4. Rikishi over Val Venis by DQ to let Val Venis retain the Intercontinental
Title.
Trish Stratus came out with Val, then Rikishi came out to a big pop. Match
was very fast, lasted all but of 2 minutes. Val didn't really do anything,
Rikishi did his back smash into the turnbuckle, and went for a stinkyface but
Rikishi got low blowed to end the match. Too Cool came out, helped clear the
ring, then Rikishi did a stinkyface on Val and Trish too I believe, then Too
Cool/Rikishi Danced.
5. Undertaker and Kane over Big Bossman and Bull Buchanan.
Bossman/Buchanan got much heat. Kane and Undertaker got much pop.
Undertaker rode his bike out there and took his time getting to the ring.
Match starts. I hate this, whenever I go to a house show in about 3 matches
out of the night someone threatens to leave. Bossman was very scared of Kane
and was afraid to lock up with him. Bossman Sucks chants echoed through the
arena. Match starts and it too by the way was very fast. Bossman/Buchanan
got about one move off, which was a Superplex on Kane. Match ended with
simultaneous chokeslams from Undertaker/Kane. (Kane didn't lift Bossman no
more than 3 inches off of the mat!)
6. Chris Benoit over Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle in a Triple Threat Match.
Kurt Angle comes and to a big pop and said how Anaheim was nothing but
losers, Jericho came out to a huge pop and said for him to shut the hell up,
or something never eeeeever again, yatta yatta yatta. Benoit comes out to no
pop. Match starts with Angle/Benoit double teaming Jericho, Benoit later
clotheslines both at the same time. Kurt Angle mostly stayed out of the ring
for this one, but he did hit and Olympic Slam on one of them. Benoit went
for the Crossface, had it locked but somehow the shift ended back up on
Jericho, Triple H came out and hit Y2J with a chair and gave Benoit the pin.
Intermission:
Yay! Tony Chimill gives us a 15(35) minute break from the action, leaving us
to try and get attention from the cameras so we can be on the video screen.
7. Crash over Gangrel.
Gangrel came out to a little pop, he sported the shortsleeved shirt this time
and he spit his blood and stuff. Crash came out to surprisingly no pop, and
chants of Elroy and Boring echoed through the arena. Crash won somehow, I
don't remember how, but nobody really seemed to care.
8. Road Dogg and X-Pac over Dudley Boyz in a "Special Match"
D-X came out to a pop, then Road Dogg rapped some crap about how Tori got put
through a table and said how we weren't going to see any tables. Dudleys
came out to a table chant. Match went on, it was a surprisingly good match
figuring the wrestlers we had here, X-Pac actually hit the Bronco Buster, and
the X-Factor, and Dogg did it Doggie Style and the 3-Punch combo, Dudley's
did that hit em' where it counts double team twice. D-X threatened to leave
because they didn't want the tables. D-X won, started to leave but the
Dudleys chased em' down and brought them back. D-X brought out a table and
didn't set it up. Dudleys hit the 3-D on X-Pac. Then they put Dogg through
a table which nearly left X-Pac crying.
9. Edge-Christian over the Hardy Boyz and Too Cool to retain the Tag Titles.
This match was nothing but a popularity contest. Edge-Christian came out and
said how they reeked of awesomeness. They gave their generic 5-second pose
which didn't try to act as anything. Hardys and Lita came out to a good pop
as did Too Cool. What I meant by the first sentence was that as the match
was already underway, Scotty bounced on the ropes and fell, GMS laughed and
got pantsed and Scotty made a joke on how GMS's thingy was very small, and
GMS positioned his hands to make it look a foot long. Hardys got up on the
buckle and did there taunty thing. Edge and Christian did the same thing.
There was almost no offense here, Too Cool got eliminated first by a Twist of
Fate and a Swanton, then Lita hit a moonsault on someone, and it ended with
an Impaler from Christian. The actual fighting lasted two minutes, the
actual playing lasted 12 minutes.
10. The Rock over Triple H to retain the WWF Title.
They both came out to incredibly huge pops. Wow! Was it Loud!!! Very Good
match here. They locked up a lot and it moved very slow in the beginning.
Lots of sleeper holds applied. The Rock then spinebustered HHH and went for
the elbow, before he could get the pad off Benoit came out and hit him with a
chair. HHH for the pin. 2-Count. HHH went for the Pedigree, before he could
get it off Jericho came out and hit him and then did the Lionsault.
Two-count. Rock hits Rock Bottom, pins for the 1-2-3. Its over. HHH leaves
with Boos. Rock almost leaves, comes back and does his Poontang Pie routine,
said how his best poontang pie ever was right here in Orange County, while
making fun of Chimill in the process. Said "If Ya Smelllllllllll what the
Rock is Cookin! Show over.
Biggest Pops:
1. The Rock (Everyone loves the Rock)
2. HHH (Everyone loves HHH but won't admit it)
3. Y2J (is really over with the crowd)
4. APA (everyone has seemed to have forgotten their Ministry days)
5. Godfather (Ya gotta love that guy)
Biggest Heats(is that a word?)
1. Bossman/Buchanan (they just suck)
2. Trish Stratus (all we wanted out of her was her puppies)
3. Chris Benoit (for being Chris Benoit)
4. Kurt Angle (for calling us losers)
5. D'Lo Brown (he's the one that sucks)
More Notes: I got there at 4:30 (it started at 7:30) and the parking lot was already packed. I saw Kurt Angle, 2 Hoes, Faarooq (in a limo for some reason), Dudleys, and that Buff Security Guard guy drive into the arena. The only thing about House Shows that I hate is that in the matches you already know what is gonna happen, and there is more fun than wrestling. (Which can also be good). Another good thing is that things can happen that cannot happen on any of the TV's. No wonder the WWF nearly sells out every event.

Another sell-out and great show at Madison Square Garden. The view, awesome
and the sights and sounds were spectacular. Although they didn't show the
videos on the titan tron they still played the music and had great fireworks.
Crash Holly v.s. Dean Malenko for the Light-Heavyweight Belt
A very impressive match that lasted for at least 10 minutes. Crash Holly
came out first to a HUGE pop and was cheered for throught the match. Malenko
came out to some decent heel heat. During the match there were many reversals
and pins and we saw Malenko Powerbomb Crash twice only to result in a 2 count
as "Crash Holly" was chanted by the fans. To win, Dean Malenko reversed an
Irish Whip into a Texas Cloverleaf and Crash quickly tapped out. After the
match Crash showed good sportsmanship by raising Dean's hand to congratulate
him.
Winner: Dean Malenko
Kane v.s. Gangrel
Gangrel came out to mixed reactions which later turned into mild heel
heat. Then Kane came out to the second biggest pop of the night. When Kane's
big bang went off the guy behind me dropped his hot dog and yelled "Oh shit!"
Kane dominated almost the entire match and Gangrel couldn't even get off a
move. Kane won by Choke Slamming Gangrel. Although Kane dominated it was a
pretty good match.
Winner: Kane
Terri v.s. The Kat Arm Wrestling match
Jerry "The King" Lawler came out as the guest referee and showed the
crowd Donald Trump who was sitting front row. The crowd booed Trump until he
said his favorite wrestler was The Rock. Then Terri came to mixed reactions
which later turned into cheers and then boos. The Kat came out to a mild
pop. They got into position and were ready to start when King suggested
excercises. They both did so and then Terri said she felt ristricted of
clothing. The Kat followed suit and they both disrobed to bikinis. The
crowd's reaction was a lot less than I expected although my friend almost
broke the guard rail cheering. Then they got it on. King called timeout
suggested they lie on the floor. They were arm wrestling match until Terri
cheated and a cat fight broke out. Terri Powerslammed The Kat and pushed her
arm down King declared Terri the winner. Then The Kat gave Terri a Bronco
Buster and King demanded one too. The Kat gave him one and King declared
himself the winner.
Winner: Terri or Jerry Lawler
Eddie Guerrerow/Chyna v.s. Perry Saturn for the European belt
A decent match which took a while to get going. Saturn came out to mild
heel heat but when Eddie's music hit, the Garden went mad. Eddie got a
tremendous pop. This match had a lot of submissions and reversals. We saw a
Saturn Powerbomb and a Guerrero Hurricanrana but only to a 2 count. But when
the referee was knocked out Chyna gave Saturn a low blow and Eddie gave
Saturn a Hurricanrana for the win.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero
DX and HHH v.s. The Rock and Dudleys
DX came out to a decent pop (surprisingly) until Road Dogg insulted the
crowd. Then HHH came out mixed reactions (again, surprisingly). He later
bullied Earl Hebner which got the biggest heel heat of the night. Then the
Dudley Boyz came out to a good pop. Then The Rock's music hit and The Great
One got a big pop but not as big as me or anyone near expected. The match
went back and forth for awhile when Buh-Buh Ray gave X-Pac a 3D and was about
to get the 3 count when Vince pulled Earl Hebner out of the ring and beat him
up. Vince brought Shane in as the guest referee. Then D'Von was set-up on a
table and Buh-Buh Ray was pushed through it by X-Pac. That left a battered
Rock up against HHH and DX. HHH Pedigreed Rocky and was about to get a 3
count when Kane's music hit. Kane was on a roll until the numbers game set
in. Kane and The rock were getting beaten up when the Undertaker rolled in
onhis motor cycle to the biggest pop (by far) of the night. The "American Bad
Ass" Choke Slammed everyone and then Rock covered HHH for the win in the best
match of night.
Winner: The Rock and Dudleys
Intermission
I got a hot dog and a Godfather pendant and a Rock T-Shirt. My friend got
a Hardy Boyz shirt and a Kane mask.
Acolytes v.s. Bull Buchanan
This was a decent match which was a good Intermission return match. Bull
and Bossman came out to good heel heat. Then the Acolytes came out to a mild
pop. Bull abandoned his partner which allowed Bradshaw to hit the Clothesline
from Hell for the win.
Winner: Acolytes
Rikishi v.s. Kurt Angle for the Intercontinental belt
Kurt Angle came out to mild heel heat which changed into major heel heat
when he insulted New York. Rikishi came out to a big pop. They went at it for
about 10 minutes in quite a good match which saw Kurt Angle Suplex Rikishi
with the referee out so there wasn't a count and it saw Rikishi give Kurt the
Stinky Face. Rikishi gave Kurt a Belly-to-Belly Suplex to win. Too Cool then
came down and they danced.
Winner: Rikishi
Val Venis v.s. Hardcore Holly v.s. Y2J v.s. Chris Benoit
Y2J came out to a HUGE pop and talked about KOTR. Val, Hardcore, and
Benoit came out to mixed reactions. This was a very good match which saw a
Diving Head butt and many pins that went to 2 counts. At the end, Y2J made
Val tap out to the Wallas of Jericho but at the same time Benoit pinned
Hardcore Holly and the ref only saw Benoit's pin.
Winner: Chris Benoit
Too Cool v.s. Edge and Christian v.s. T&Aw/Trish v.s. Hardysw/Lita for
the Tag titles
Edge and Christian came out to mild heel heat and did there 5 second
flash photography by insulting the Yankees. Then T&A came out to decent heel
heat and Trish said the men in New York were pathetic. then the Hardys came
out to a HUGE pop. Then Too Cool came out to a big pop. The match got on and
was awesome. When the Hardys took their shirts off all the girls screamed. We
also saw the Swanton Bomb. T&A was eliminated first when Matt gave Test the
Twist of Fate. Then Edge and Christian eliminated the Hardys when Christian
caught Matt with the Impaler. Then Too Cool and Edge and Christian it on. In
a funny moment Scottie 2 Hotty pulled down GMS pants. Scottie also gave Edge
The Worm when he made fun of them. Edge Speared GMS but only to a 2 count. To
win GMS Dropkicked the Tag belt into Christian's face.
Winner:Too Cool

Stevie Richards vs. Essa Rios
At the beginning of the match, both men kept gesturing to the crowd to see
who could get the bigger reaction. They did this for about the first 5
minutes of the match. After the match finally started, Stevie and Essa went
at it for about 10 minutes in a very impressive match. We saw a Stevie kick,
but only for a two count. At the end of the match, Essa did his moonsault
(looks so much more amazing in person) onto Stevie for the pin.
Winner: Essa Rios
Perry Saturn (w/hos) vs. Eddy Guerrero (w/Chyna) (European Title Match)
Yes, that's right. Saturn had hos with him. I don't know why, they didn't
play a purpose in the match at all. Maybe the WWF is trying something else to
get him over. Anyways, this was an okay match with way too many holds in it.
Every five seconds there was another sleeperhold. Also, Eddy was grabbing his
knee throughout the entire match. I hope he didn't injure it again. Eddie hit
his jumping tornado ddt from the top rope. Near the end of the match, Saturn
was getting ready to deliver his elbow off the top to Eddy when Chyna
low-blowed him. Eddy climbed the ropes and hit a frankensteiner for the win.
Winner and still WWF European Champion: Eddy Guerrero
Ivory vs. Jacqueline
Unfortunately, this wasn't a very exciting match. They both flirted with the
referee constantly. The only watchable part was when a catfight broke out
between the two ladies and the ref was thrown into the mix. At this point,
chants of "Ref's got wood!" broke out. After the fight, Ivory got a rollup
for the pin.
Winner: Ivory
X-pac and Road Dogg (w/Tori) vs. Dudley Boyz
The match started with X-pac telling everyone in the arena to shut up or they
owuld leave. Buh Buh then grabbed the mic and said, "Fine. Go home, but leave
that blond bitch here so she can get wood!!!" The match started, with nothing
overly impressive happening. The crowd got a "Table!" chant started several
times, to the point where X-pac and Road Dogg kept their promise and left.
The Dudleyz went back to get them though. Near the end of the match, The
Dudleyz finally got a table out and placed it outside the ring. Buh Buh
grabbed Tori, but X-pac low-blowed him and did the X-factor for the win.
Winners: X-pac and Road Dogg
Triple H vs. Rikishi (WWF Title Match)
Triple H insulted the audience, even asking one member to show him his ass.
Then he said, "Judging by the size of your ass, you must be related to
Rikishi." Everyone started the familiar asshole chant. Triple H got out of
the ring and started to leave. Rikishi came out and said to Triple H and I
quote, "Hey Asshole, Chattanooga, Tennessee wants you to back that ass up so
I can introduce you to my asshole." Hilarious. Midway into the match, DX
interfered for a DQ, which caused Too Cool to come out and save Rikishi. Too
Cool stacked DX in the corner, and all of them slapped their butts and did a
running splash with Rikishi being the last. At the end of the match, Rikishi
did the Stink-face to both Triple H and Tori. And Referee Earl Hebner got
involved, kicking Triple H and pushing him out of the ring. He even knocked
DX off of the apron. Earl then danced with Too Cool for a big pop.
Unfortunately for us, Earl isn't a very good dancer.
Winner by DQ: Rikishi
D'lo Brown vs. Joey Abs
Not a very exciting match. D'lo hit a Sky High midway through the match, then
attempted a Lo Down. I say attempted because he fell. (Still not sure whether
it was legit or staged) Afterwards D'lo hit another Sky High for the win.
Winner: D'lo Brown
Mean Street Posse (Pete Gas & Rodney) vs. Kaientai
During the match, Pete traded several insults with the audience. He looked
pretty mad, but I have a feeling he was faking. Midway in the match, Rodney
was climbing the turnbuckle and he tripped and got his foot stuck in the
ropes. Everyone enjoyed laughing at this. After he successfully climbed the
turnbuckle, he did a very impressive moonsault. Near the end of the match
Pete picked up Funaki for a double underhook suplex, but Taka dropkicked
Funaki on top of Pete Gas for the cover.
Winners: Kaientai
Main Event
T & A (w/Trish) vs. Too Cool
This was a surpisingly entertaining match. The Biggest Pop of the Night
happened when Scotty was bouncing on the ropes (ala his Too Hot Scott Taylor
days) and he missed and fell to the floor (don't worry, it was planned). He
got up, faced the crowd, and threw his arms up in triumph for a large pop.
After Grandmaster Sexay made fun of him, Scotty ran in and pulled down GMS's
pants. He even insinuated that Grandmaster's little sexay was a little on the
short side. And Chattanooga waited all night to see it, and they got it. The
WORM!!!!!!! Too Cool wins with the pin after the Worm.
Winners: Too Cool

In the opening, the Fink came out and welcomed us all and then pimped
some WWF merchandise. We had pretty good seats , sitting fourth row , but
nowhere close to the entrance.
Crash Holly vs. Dean Malenko Light-heavyweight championship match
Crash came out to a pretty nice pop considering he's from Alabama(Home town
favorite I guess)
Crash took advantage early with some weak takedowns and some suplexes. Dean
was able to slap the Texas cloverleaf on Crash for the win.
Winner and still Light-heavyweight champion: Stinko Malenko.
Farooq vs Mideon
This match started out as a competition to see who could do more push-ups.
After Mideon made a fool of himself he
was a dealt a severe beating. The match ended with farooq giving him a
vicious spine buster.
Winner: Farooq
Gangrel vs. The Brooklyn Brawler
Harvey Wippleman first came out and introduced the famous jobber and then
Gangrel came out to alot of cheers. I, for one was glad to see him return.
Pretty boring match, Gangrel ended it with the impaler.
Winner: Gangrel
Bradshaw vs. Kurt Angle
Angle first came out and told the crowd that we were in need of a hero and so
he appointed himself to be ours that night.
The crowd was split in halves of who cheered him and who booed him(I
cheered). Bradshaw came out and started to work on Angle. It went back and
forth, Bradshaw was about to take the win after hitting Angle with the
clothesline fron hell, but Angle managed to roll out of the ring. It ended
when Angle got a roll up pin on Bradshaw. As Angle left the ring , Bradshaw
grabbed Angle and threw him back in the ring, then gave him a powerbomb that
made the crowd erupt.
Winner: Kurt Angle
Undertaker and Kane vs. The Bossman and Bull Buchanan
Bossman and Bull were the first to enter the ring, quickly a "Bossman Sucks"
chant began. Kane first came out and got a big pop, then you heard "He's
here" Undertaker walked out(no motorcycle) to a huge cheer. The crowd was in
to this match through the whole thing. Undertaker looked a little slow and
rusty but he still kicked some ass. Later in the match Bull abandoned his
partner(knew that was coming) and Undertaker gave Bossman a monster chokeslam
for the win.
Winners: Undertaker and Kane
Intermission
After intermission was over The King Jerry Lawler made his way to the ring.
The crowd loved seeing him and chanted his name while the arm wrestling table
was being brought down.
The Kat vs. Terri - Arm wrestling match
Terri and the Kat did a few stretches before locking hands. Terri broke away
then said that she didn't think she was dressed for the occasion so she
stripped down to a bikini to a huge crowd reaction. The Kat followed suit and
stripped down as well. The King said why try to settle it in an arm wrestling
match? when we could have a cat fight. So they started rolling around,
pulling hair, same old routine. Kat was able to pull a bronco buster on Terri
and then the King wanted one too, she was hesitant at first, but the crowd
asked for it, so she gave one to the King who could not stop grinning.
Winner: After Lawler recieved the bronco buster he declared himself the real
winner
Benoit, Jericho, Hardcore Holly, and Val Venis - Fatal Fourway for the IC
strap
Jericho came out to one of the biggest pops of the night.It was a great
match, going inside and out of the ring. Jericho was able to hit a moonsault
on Venis, but the count was broked up by Benoit. Jericho had Venis tapping
out but the ref only saw Benoit pinning Holly after the flying head butt.
After the match, Jericho had words with Venis.
Winner and still Intercontinental champion: Chris Benoit
Hardy Boys w/Lita vs. Edge and Christian
In the final match of the night Edge and Christian were the first to come out
and did their little posing "to those with the benefit of flash photography.
When the Hardys came out with Lita the crowd erupted ( I think that it was a
good idea pairing Lita up with the Hardys). The match was an exciting one
with alot of aerials and pretty much went back and forth.
Lita drew some cheers when she hit Edge with a flying head scissors takedown
off the top rope. The outcome was seeing Jeff Hardy hit the swanton splash on
Christian for the win.
Winners: The Hardy Boys
Biggest Pops:
1. Undertaker(by far the largest)
2. Kane
3. Chris Jericho(very loud Y2J chants)
4. The Kat and Terri dis-robing
5. When Bradshaw gave Angle that nasty powerbomb after the match
Biggest Heat:
1. Chris Benoit(even though I cheered)
2. Big Bossman( he sucks)
3. Edge and Christian(they like making fun of rednecks)
4. Kurt Angle

***Thanks to Bradley Carr and Brian Thronton for sending in results as well!
1. Dean Malenko vs. Crash Holly -Light Heavyweight Championship
This was a pretty good match, started a little slow but picked up half
way through. HUGE pop for crash, which really surprised me, this guy has
done a great job finding a spot for himself! Ended when Malenko put Crash in
the clover leaf and he tapped out. Winner by Submission: still Light
Heavyweight Champ- Dean Malenko
2. Acolytes vs. Bull Buchanan and Bossman
I was a little surprised at this one because i thought Bull and Bossman
broke up. Immediately, however, they started fighting with each other and at
the end of the match Bull left Bossman in the ring and the Acolytes proceded
to demolish Bossman. Good all around match from all 4 guys. Great pop for
the Acolytes too.
Winners by Pinfall: Acolytes
3. Edge and Christian vs. Hardys w/ Lita
I think this is the first time the Hardys and Lita actually came out
together so that probably shows that they'll be together from now on. This
match was probably the best of the night. Tons of high flying moves from
both teams that were very exciting. Lita also chimed in by hitting Edge with
a Huricanrana thing off the top ropes. Ended with the Twist of Fate/Swanton
Bomb combo. Crowd got a Lita chant goin twice during the match, which shows
how far she's come in the past few weeks
Winners by Pinfall: Hardys
4. Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero w/Chyna-Euro Championship match.
Very solid wrastlin match with both guys putting on a good show. Saturn
punched Chyna off the ring and then she came back with a low blow, and Eddie
hit the Hurricanrana off the Top ropes for the win. Huge pop for Eddie as he
came out as well.
Winner by Pinfall and still Euro Champ: Eddie Guerrero
5. Road Dog, X-Pac, HHH vs. Rock, Dudlys
AWSOME match that lasted a good 15-20 minutes. All six were very
involved, and the Dudlys impressed the hell out of me. Huge pop for the
Dudlys, and obviously the Peoples Champ lit up the arena. Ended with the
People's Elbow on HHH and the Rock scored the pinfall on The Game. Rock
stayed in the ring talked for another 5-10 min. It was great because after
the match HHH went over to Jesse Ventura and Jesse hugged HHH and held his
hand up in the air. The Rock didnt like that a whole lot so he got on the
mic and said that not only is HHH a candy ass, but so is The Body. He then
told the Body to "Just Bring It". Obviously Jesse isnt dumb enough to step
into the ring with The Rock so the Rock said that if he did get in the ring
he would "take his boot, shine it up real nice, turn that sun of a bitch
sideways, and stick it straight up the Body's ass". it was Awsome!!! The
Rock then proceeded to sing Smackdown Hotel and closed with If Ya Smell.
Winners by Pinfall: Rock and Dudlys
intermission
6. D'Lo vs. Mideon
I just read on your site that Mideon was still sick and wouldnt be in
action for awhile. I guess this counters that. The match was supposed to be
Godfather vs. Dlo but JR in his report said he was hurt. I was kinda happy
to see Mideon, havnt seen him around in a long time. Match was decent,
nothing special. D'lo hit the Sky High on Mideon for the win by pinfall
Winner by Pinfall. D'Lo
7. T&A w/Trish vs. Too Cool- Tag Team Titles on the line
T&A came out first, got in the ring and Trish, to my surprise, actually
got on the mic and did some trash talkin. Basically dissed Minnesota guys.
Too Cool came out to a huge pop. These guys are great performers and
entertainers, you cant help but cheer for them. They were running all around
the ring slappin hands with everyone and everyone was really into them. This
was a very good match. Scotty pants Grand Master twice so that was pretty
funny. Scotty hit the worm on Test. Grand Master hit the Tenesee Jam on
Test for the win by pinfall.
Winners by Pinfall and still WWF Tag Team Champs: Too Cool
8. Benoit vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Val Venis vs. Chris Jericho - Fatal Four
Way for Intercontinental Title
Very good match. The match didnt last a real long time, but it was all
action. Chris Jericho had a HUGE pop, its definitly only a matter of time
before this guy is moved up to the top. Ended with Jericho having Val in the
Walls of Jericho, but at the same time Benoit had the pin on Holly, Val was
tapping out but the Ref counted the 3 for Benoit and gave him the victory.
Winner by Pinfall and still WWF Intercontinental Champ: Chris Benoit
9. Kurt Angle Vs. Rikishi
another Awsome match. Kurt Angle came out to half cheers half boos. I
swear the crowd is just searching for some reason to cheer this guy. Im a
huge Angle fan and this was one of the highlights of my evening. He talked
for about 2 min before Rikishi came into the ring, then again for another 2
min. after Rikishi was in the ring. Rikishi shut him up by knocking him out
in mid-sentence. Lasted about 10 min. Rikishi hit the stink face on Angle.
Match ended with Rikishi hitting his awsome sit down pile driver on Angle and
got the pinfall. Immediatly after the match, Val Venis came running into the
ring and went after Rikishi. Rikishi handled both Angle and Val for awhile,
but then started to take the beating. Then Too Cool ran in and cleared the
ring. The Show ended with a dance from Too Cool and Rikishi.
Winner by pinfall: Rikishi
Awsome show here in Minneapolis, there was no match i could point out that i
though was dull or anything like that all the wrestlers were really into it
and put on an awsome show.
Biggest Pops:
1. Rock
2. Jericho
3. Hardys
4. Dudlys
5. Jesse Ventura getting dissed by the Rock
biggest Heat:
1. The Game
2. Bossman
3. X Pac
4. Trish's Promo
5. Val Venis

Thanks to Jazz835 for sending in results as well!
Godfather vs. D'Lo Brown
Godfather comes out to huge pop. Usual mic work from the Godfather,
including the "roll a fatty" line, since there were no cameras. Good work
by D'Lo. Godfather isn't in the same league as D'Lo as far as in ring
ability goes (duh). I guess he has to fight someone. GF won with the Ho
Train. D'Lo skyhighed the Pimp Daddy after the match.
Eddie Guerrero w/Chyna vs. Perry Saturn for European Championship
Both men looked great in the ring. Saturn has really stepped it up lately.
Guerrero won with his top rope hurricana, with an assist from Mamacita,
who low blowed Saturn on the top rope.
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Al Snow vs. Hardcore Holly for
Intercontinental Championship
Another excellent match. I completely lost it when Jericho said "Columbia
is Jericho"! Many broken up counts in this one. Jericho hit his lionsault
and Benoit connected with the flying headbutt. Match ends as both men lock
in their trademark submission holds. Snow taps out to the Crippler just
before Holly could tap out to the Walls of Jericho.
Dudley Boyz vs. Xpac & Road Dogg
Usual match between these two teams. Road Dogg and X-Pac try to walk out
after consecutive flying headbutts to the groin by D-Von. Buh Buh Ray
rubbed Dogg's crotch before the second one. Dudleys bring them back to the
ring. Lots of table chants. D-Von got the table out but it wasn't used as
X-Pac and Road Dogg get the job done with a little help from Tori. No
table or 3D? Bummer.
Triple-H vs. Kane for WWF Title
Earl Hebner comes out as special referee. Kane's pyros are incredibly hot
and loud (as were Jericho's and Dudleys). Triple-H came out to a pretty
decent pop. Strange indeed. I was cheering for him, but I didn't think
anyone else would be. Good solid match here. In the middle of the match,
a dude hopped the gate and tried to climb into the ring, but Hebner saw him
and actually tried to stomp his head. Very funny. Triple-H won with DX
interference. After the match Kane chokeslammed X-Pac, Road Dogg, and The
Game, with a tombstone for Tori.
Dean Malenko vs. Essa Rios vs. Funaki for Light Heavyweight Title
This would have been a fun match had it lasted longer, and had it not
featured Funaki. The match was so short, it makes me wonder if the Light
Heavyweight belt is gonna be around much longer. Malenko won, if you care.
Acolytes vs. Bossman and Bull Buchannan
APA got a very mild pop, which saddened me greatly. These two are very
underutilized. Bossman is just horrible. At least Bull has some
potential. Well APA pulled out a victory, with teasers of a breakup
between B & B. Bossman stayed in the ring FOREVER just raising his arms to
the crowd. MORON
Too Cool vs. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz w/Lita vs. T & A w/Trish Tag
Team Championship
Lita with the Hardyz...Tommy likey. Christian calls us Columbus instead of
Columbia, which got good heel heat (I thought it was funny), then they
posed for 5 seconds. Trish tells us that we aren't worthy of her T&A.
Very, very entertaining match. Lots of highlights. Lita went after Trish
after she interfered. Scotty fell to the floor, while doing his bounce on
the ropes thing. T&A and the Hardyz somehow got eliminated at the same
time. Still a mystery to me. Grandmaster Sexay got pantsed by Scotty
twice. Usual "willy-size" comparisons by both men. Funny stuff. Too Cool
gets the victory following the worm.
Rikishi vs. Kurt Angle
Angle comes out and declares himself our hometown hero because Columbians
have nothing to be proud of (don't worry Kurt, I still love ya, even though
everyone else booed ferociously). Angle tells Rikishi to put a towel over
his ass. Rikishi promptly hammers away at Kurt. Rikishi takes the towel
and whipes himself with it and puts it in Angle's face. Angle suplexed
(whoa) Rikishi, only to recieve the stinky face, followed by the Rikishi
Driver. After the match Too Cool danced in celebration of their wins.
All in all, I thought it was a fantastic show. The Light Heavyweight match
was a joke, but everything else was nearly what I had hoped for. One thing
I found odd was that despite the latest announcement, there were several
DDTs and Piledriver's performed. Oh well, I'm not complaining.
P. S. Rajah- Why do all the internet "experts" hate Too Cool? I think
they're dancing routine is hysterical, and they are entertaining to watch
in the ring as well. Both men are good workers, so what's with the beef?
Note from Rajah: I love Too Cool; especially that Grand Master guy. He rules.

Godfather def. D'Lo Brown.
Hardcore Holly def. Al Snow.
Here are the rest of the results in as best detail as I can give:
Dean Malenko def. Crash Holly (Light Heavyweight Title)
It was a pretty good match with Malenko getting a little heat from the fans
and Crash getting a pretty good pop.It was basically a match with a lot of
reversals but ultimatly Dean prevailed with a Texas CloverLeaf. Afterwards,
Crash gave Dean a handshake and raised his hand in a show of good
sportsmanship.
The Dudley Boyz def T&A (Tag Team Table Match)
Trish and T&A came out first and Trish berated the women of Albuquerque and
received a tremendous amount of heat. The Dudleys were next and to my
surprise (I really don't get surprised by wrestling too much) Bubba Ray
grabbed a mic and called Trish a "Bleached blonde b---- with fake boobs to
match".It was a great match that saw Trish almost get put through a table
and Albert getting superplexed through a table.The Dudley Boyz recieved a
HUGE pop from the start and an even bigger one after the match.
Eddy Guerrero def Saturn(European Title)
The match started slow and Eddy recieved a good pop from the crowd.Saturn
recieved some heat but the slow start took some of the crowd out of the
match. Eddy used some arial tactics and ultimately won with the
hurricanrana.
Chris Benoit def Chris Jericho (Intercontinental Title)
Jericho recieved a huge pop from the crowd when he was announced, but the
soundman didn't play "Break Down The Walls" loud enough so Jericho had to
coax the soundman into raising the volume, (It was pretty funny). He grabbed
the mic and did the Albuquerque is Jericho speech and said that once he left
Albuquerque would never,EVER be ths same again.Benoit recieved some great
heat from the crowd and it was a great match overall. In this match Jericho
and Benoit proved why they are the future of the WWF. Benoit put Jericho in
the "Crossface", but Jericho made it to the ropes. He later went for the
"Diving Headbutt" and missed.Jericho capitalized on this mistake and went
for the "Walls Of Jericho, but Hardcore Holly came out with a chair and hit
Jericho in the back of the head and also hit Benoit. Jericho grabbed the
chair off the floor and hit Hardcore but turned around and was dropkicked
with the chair by Benoit and pinned. Jericho recovered and put Hardcore in
the "Walls OF Jericho" until the ref stopped him. As he was going to the
dressing room Jericho recieved a sign from a fan and had Howard Finkle read
it. When Finkle read the sign that said "Albuquerque is Jericho", Jericho
recieved a loud pop and went back to the dressing room.
Essa Rios def Funaki
All I can say about this one is that it was a crappy match that was saved by
Rios' ariel assaults. Why is Funaki still in the WWF? They could've used
Pete Gas or somebody else for this one and the crowd wasn't even in to it.
The Acolytes def Bossman and Buchanan
I saw some of this match but I had to run and get a Jericho shirt before
they sold out. The Bossman came out and told Bull about how they grew up
fighting everybody else and didn't need to fight each other and demanded
that Bull watch his back or else. The Acolytes recieved a large pop from the
crowd and ran into the ring. It was a good match (from what I saw) and the
crowd witnessed Bull walking out on the Bossman during the match. The APA
double-teamed the Bossman for the win. Thanks Mike and Johnny for the rest
of the results about the finish of the match.
Too Cool def The Hardyz /w Lita and Edge & Christian (Tag Team Elimination
Match For The WWF Tag Titles)
This has to go down as one of the funniest matches that I have ever
seen.Edge & Christian came out and recieved major heat from the crowd with
the 5 sec. routine. The Hardyz entered next and the screams from the girls
there were deafening.When Too Cool arrived you couldn't hear a thing.
Scottie faced Christian first, but they didn't wrestle. Christian took the
Too Cool jacket off the floor and put it on. He proceeded to do the "Running
Man" and a terrible mockery of GMS's "Shovel Dance" and the "Moon Walk".
Jeff tagged Scottie and he and Christian grappled.After a "Twist of Fate" by
Matt Hardy, Lita hit Christian with a hurricanrana from the top rope, which
left Jeff open for a "Swanton Bomb" on Christian. During this time, Scottie
was bouncing on the ropes and fell to the floor. Edge grabbed the belt and
hit Jeff over the head with it securing the win.Scottie entered the ring and
GMS played a joke on him. He pulled Scottie's pants down and exposed his
underwear. Scottie tagged GMS and about a minute later he did the same thin
to GMS. The crowd loved it, but not as much as when they pulled down Edge's
tights and exposed a red thong being worn. Trust me it was a riot. After
Scottie's "Worm" on Edge, Christian grabbed the belt to hit Scottie but he
ducked and they started a tug of war with the belt. GMS ran and did a
falling underhook type kick under the belt which made it hit Christian in
the head and Scottie pinned him for the win. As they left the crowd stared
booing because they wanted them to dance but Too Cool promised that they
would be back.
Rikishi def Kurt Angle.
This was a well performed match that saw Angle tick off the crowd and
Rikishi with a huge pop. Angle started off by telling Rikishi that he wasn't
gonna put the stink face on him and he threw a towel in his face. Angle had
the upper hand during the first 3min. of the match but Rikishi turned the
tide. He knocked Angle into a corner and picked up the towel and wiped his
butt with it and smeared it in Angle's face and chased Teddy Long out the
ring with the towel. Angle ran out the ring to leave but returned. He was
about get the stinky face but issued a low blow to Rikishi.Eventually
Rikishi did give angle the stinky face and hit him with the "Sitting Pile
Driver" for the win. Too Cool came out and they danced to the BIGGEST pop of
the event. It was a good WWF event and most of the matches were quality.
I also forgot to mention that Earl Hebner was the ref for the I.C match and
recieved and HUGE pop from the crowd.
[Credit: Troy Brown & RajahWWF.com]
The Fink came out and did the usual thing (no video cameras, you can't sell photos) which got huge heat. Idiots. He says it's been a long time since they've been in Las Cruces. Introduces first match,
Godfather vs. D'Lo Brown
Godfather comes out to good pop, until they reallized the Ho's weren't
there. He almost climbs into ring until he calls out the ladies. Crowd pops.
D'Lo comes out to good heel heat( except for those couple of guys at every
house show who cheer the heel no matter what). Typical match like you would
see on TV. Godfather was getting beat down, up until D'Lo missed a
moonsault. Godfather gets hot. He hits the Ho Train and pins him for the
win. D'Lo attacks Godfather after the match, hits the Sky High, and leaves.
Godfather gets up and the Ho's dance with the ref and GF. Decent match
Al Snow vs. Hardcore Holly
Wasn't looking forward to this match at all. Snow comes out to surprisingly
good pop( despite the fact he has no gimmick). Holly comes out to mixed
reaction. Snow gets a sign in the crowd that says "Baldcore 3:16".Funny
stuff. Holly shows Snow he's got some hair on that noggin of his. Snow
repeatedly gives Holly headlock takeovers and sleeperholds. Finally Holly
breaks up this boring streak of moves, and finishes him off with his Falcon
Arrow type finisher for the win. Afterwards, Snow does his little airplane
spin dance and leaves.
Dean Malenko vs. Crash Holly
Dean comes out to lots of heat. Crash gets good pop. Bad timing all
throughout match. Malenko finishes Crash off with a Texas Cloverleaf.
Acolytes vs. Bull Buchanan & Big Bossman
Bossman comes out alone to loud heat. He tells Bull that they should just
get their business in the ring taken care of. Bull reluctantly comes out.
Acolytes get decent pop and just beat the hell out of Bossman and Bull. Bull
gets in a few good moves but leaves Bossman alone in the ring after a while.
Bossman could not handle these guys on his own. Acolytes win with
combination belly-to-back suplex-neckbreaker combo.
The Fink comes out and announces intermission. Plugs merchandise.
Essa Rios vs. Funaki
I don't know why they put this match as the match after intermission. These
guys stunk up the place. They didn't even do any of the high-flying moves
you see on TV. No crowd reaction at all. Essa Rios wins with moonsault
Eddie Guererro vs. Perry Saturn
Saturn comes out to heat. Eddie's music hits and the crowd goes NUTS!! Eddie
is from El Paso,TX which is a 40-min. drive from Las Cruces. Saturn grabs
mic and says "You people need to shut up" (he has no mic skills whatsoever)
Eddie tells Saturn that he's gonna show him what a Las Cruces-El Paso butt
whipping is all about. Crowd pops. Eddie wins with top rope
hurricanrana.Eddie chants all throughout match
Hardy Boyz w/ Lita vs. Edge & Christian vs. Too Cool
Edge and Christian's music hits and crowd pops (surprisingly). Everyone
looks around arena and boos when they see them coming out the curtain.
Christian cuts a funny promo, and they do their pose for 5 seconds only.
Hardy Boyz come out to lots of pops with Lita. Too Cool comes out to
defining pop. During match Hardyz take off their shirts to which all the
girls in the crowd popped to. My friend said "Let's see Lita do that!" to
which everyone laughed. Hardyz get eliminated. Scotty 2 Hotty was bouncing
on the ropes when he fell off! Very Funny! GMS was laughing hard. Scotty
runs in and pulls down GMS's pants. Funny stuff! GMS pulls his pants up, and
pulls down Edge's pants revealing a turqouise thong. EEEWWWWWWW. The ladies
loved it, but I almost threw up. S2H hits Worm and eventually Too Cool wins.
Dudley Boyz vs. T&A w/ Trish Stratus
Fink announces D-Von is stuck in Dallas due to Thunderstorms, so Buh Buh Ray
will take on T&A in a handicap match. T&A comes out to mixed reaction. Trish
gets on mic and makes fun of all the people here. Buh Buh Ray comes out to
great pop. He gets the mic and says "Hold on here bitch." Mentions her
"Souped up, silicon injected tits" Good match in which Trish is almost put
through table. Buh Buh Ray is entertaining as hell. Buh Buh superplexes
Albert through table. Good match.
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
Benoit gets booed heavily. Jericho gets massive pop. Does his usual bit.
Good overall match that saw Hardcore Holly interfering to cost Jericho the
match. Afterwards Jericho stays in the ring and gets a big pop.
Rikishi vs. Kurt Angle
Angle comes out to lots and lots of heat. He says that tonight, for 1 night

Hi Rajah. I attended the WWF house show in Indianapolis, Indiana on Wednesday night, March 8th. Overall it was a very good show. Here are the results the best I can remember them.
1st Match = Godfather vs. Mideon
A pretty good match. Godfather came out doing his usual speech. He got a
good pop. Mideon came out to a lot of boo's. The Godfather won with the Ho
train.
Winner = Godfather
2nd Match = Bradshaw vs. Prince Albert
This was probably the most boring match of the night. Not much happened, Faarooq interfered, Bradshaw
hit his clothesline and got the pinfall win.
Winner = Bradshaw
3rd Match = Too Cool vs. Headbangers
Too Cool came out to a huge pop. Too Cool pretty much dominated this match.
Scotty Too Hotty did the worm, which got a huge pop.
Winners = Too Cool
4th Match = Steve Blackman vs. Christian
As Blackman came out a huge chant of Headcheese started, which got Blackman
mad. Blackman got on the mic and said how the Colts suck and how he lost
some money because of the Colts on a bet, the crowd really booe'd then.
Christian then came out, who got a decent pop the match was pretty good,
Blackman ended up winning.
Winner = Steve Blackman
5th Match = Big Boss Man vs. Rikishi Phatu
This match was the most entertaining of the night for me. Bossman came out
to a lot of boo's. He had a towel rapped around his neck. Then Rikishi
came out to a huge pop, Bossman got on the mic and told Rikishi to take this
towel and wipe your huge ass with it. The crowd started Booing till Rikishi
wiped his ass with the towel and wrapped it around his fist and hit Bossman
right in the head with it, that got a lot of cheers. Rikishi threw Bossman
to a corner and put his ass in Bossmans face which got a huge pop. Then
Prince Albert comes in the ring and tries to interfere in the match but
Rikishi clotheslines him and puts his ass in his face too. Then Too Cool
comes out and Scotty Too Hotty does the worm on Bossman. Rikishi tries to
leave, but Too Cool stops him and gives him the glasses, then Rikishi gets
Howard Finkel and asks him to come into the ring, and the Fink starts
dancing with Too Cool and Rikishi. That got a huge pop.
Winner = Rikishi Phatu
Intermission
6th Match = Crash Holly vs. Esa Rio's for Light Heavyweight championship
This was a boring match, Lita looks pretty good, can't remember too many
details on this match, Esa Rio's ends up winning.
Winner = Esa Rio's
7th Match = Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz for Tag Team Championship
Dudleys came out and got booe'd real loud. A chant of Dudleys suck went
through the whole arena. Buh Buh Ray got on the mic and told all of us to
shut the Hell up. Then De'von asked us if we wanted to get our ass whipped.
Then the Hardy's came out to a huge pop, this was a good match. Most of the
match it was the Dudley's teaming up on Matt Hardy, Matt finally ends up
getting the tag and after a while the Dudleys do there finisher on Jeff
Hardy for the win. After the match, De'von gets a table and puts it in the
ring, and he puts Jeff Hardy on top of it, then Matt Hardy hit's De'von with
a chair and the Hardys put De'von Dudley through the table.
Winners and Still Tag Team Champions = The Dudley's
8th Match = Kurt Angle vs. Edge for Intercontinental Championship
Kurt Angle comes out and gets booed pretty loud. He says how the Colts and
The Pacers have came so close in the playoffs but don't win a championship,
I will be your olympic champion. Edge comes out to a decent pop, during the
match he gets on the mic and says that Kurt Angle and his three I's really
suck. That made Kurt Angle really mad. During the match the referee gets
knocked down and Kurt Angle hits Edge with both belts to retain the
intercontinental championship.
Winner and Still intercontinental Champion = Kurt Angle
Howard Finkel announces that Raw is War is going to be in Indianapolis on May 22nd, the day after Judgement Day, and that got a huge pop, probably one of the biggest of the night.
9th Match = Triple HHH and Big Show vs. Kane and The Rock
This match didn't last that long, and wasn't that good for a Main Event, but
it was great to see all these superstars live, especially the Rock. He got
the hugest pop of the night. Triple HHH and Big Show come out first, then
Kane and Paul Bearer, then Triple HHH and Big Show start double teaming on
Kane and after a while the Rock's music played and the Rock ran down to the
ring and started cleaning house. The match ended after The Rock gave Triple
HHH the people's elbow, after the match The Rock had Paul Bearer do the
People's elbow, that was pretty funny, then Kane did it, after the match The
Rock did his usual mic work and that was the end of the night, which was a
pretty good show.

Major thanks to Ben Gosselin [bengosselin@home.com] for sending these results in! What a show the WWF put on in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
The place was 2/3 packed, I'd say a good 10,000 - More than WCW has on any event live or not in any case, and the crowd was electric. Everyone got good pops, with the biggest ones of the day going to Jericho and the Rock.
Match 1 - Headbangers VS Too Cool
Too Cool scores the clean pin when Thrasher is hit by Sexay's flying legdrop. No worm for Scotty. A little dissapointing. Funny part in the match though, Grandmaster Sexay was dancing and his pants started falling down a little, so Thrasher did a flying leap and pulled them off. Everyone in the ring was laughing at what looked like an unintentional moment.
Match 2 - Mideon VS D Lo Brown
This should have been the curtain jerker. Went to go get a drink when it started. I heard D LO won.
Match 3 - Test Vs Bossman
Test gets clean pinfall over Bossman in another midly boring match. Interesting note though Bossman was the only guy to receive the "a--hole" chant.
Match 4 - Hardy's VS Saturn/Malenko
Matt Hardy scores another clean (what is up??) pinfall over Malenko after Malenko is hit by brother Jeff's senton bomb.
Match 5 - 3 Way Intercontinental Championship match: Chris Benoit VS Y2J VS Kurt Angle
Huge pops for all 3 competitors. Jericho winds up getting pinned by Angle after being hit in the head with the belt. Benoit was almost invisible in this match, I can't remember if he ever mounted any offense whatsoever. Good moment at the beginning was when Angle offered to be our champion after the Senators leave town for the states. Boooo!
Match 6 - Crash Holly VS Prince Albert in non title hardcore match.
As soon as you hear non title you can pretty much predict who's going to win. Prince Albert cleanly pinned Crash dead center after taking him to school for most of the match.
Match 7 - Dudley Boys VS Edge/Christian
While Edge is lying outside the ring, Christian is pinned after receiving the 3D. Great heel heat for the Dudleys: When at the ring Bubba informed the crowd he threw up this morning, he thought it was because of the food but realized it was because he had to listen to our national anthem. Also during the match he yelled "Shut up you bunch of fa---ts!" and he spit on some people too.
Match 8 - Big Slow VS Rikishi
Big Slow (who got huge pop) pinns Rikishi rather quickly after sub par match. Afterwards, 2Cool came to the ring and tried to make Big Show dance. Big Show entered the ring, put on the mysterious yellow sunglasses, assumed the dance position and then... left. That bastard. We were then treated to 2Cool/Rikishi dance.
Match 9 - Triple H/X Pac VS Rock/Kane
Another pretty average match, with Rock getting the Pin on Triple H. Following the match, Kane gave Tory a tombstone, and Rock gave her a people's elbow. Kane leaves. Rock calls him back into the ring, and asks him what his favorite kind of pie is. He then tells people at ringside to stop trying to help Kane, after all he should really know what kind of pie he likes. Kane waits a bit and then answers:"Poooooontang" in his typical Kane voice. After that Rocky starts his bit where he climbs on the ropes to listen to his millions and millions of fans calling his name, and then stops. Goes back into the ring and tells a kid saying Rocky sucks to shup up. He says the kid looks pretty smug sitting there all by himself with his big smile, but he shouldn't be smiling, oh no. He has never had a taste of Poontang Pie. He then says this is the Rock, and makes a big space between his hands, and this is you, and makes a tiny little space between his fingers. I can only assume that kid went home broken hearted. Yeah right.
Rating: This is the 5th house show I've been to over the years, and by far the best. WWF brought in all the guys I wanted to see (except Tazz and Essa Rios, but that's forgivable) and showed why they are #1. All the performers seemed to want to give the crowd that extra effort, and I think we really showed with the pops that we appreciated it. I also came to the realization during this "house" show that I haven't seen a crowd that excited watching WCW for a long, long, long time. This could easily have been a RAW. 8.5/10
Saturday, January 8, 2000
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Target Center
The show start off with Godfather W/ some good ho's vs Gangrel W/Luna.. Godfather came out and did his usual speach and Gangrel came out and spit out his RED WINE.

1. The Godfather vs. Midian
Godfather came out to a mixture of boos and pops then the Ho's came out to
LOTS of pops. Nothing for Midian, of course. It was another winner takes all
match for the 'hos. Visera said Midian was jealous of the last match they had
and Visera won the 'hos. Godfather was doing ok until Visera distracted the
ref and the Godfather didn't get the count. Godfather finally to the 2nd rope
and got Midian with a knee to the throat, then Godfather did the 'ho train and
Midian was out for the count. Godfather won to lots of pops and sat on the
corner turnbuckle while the 'hos got ref Tim White on the ground, while Tim
White lifted one of the 'hos dresses, then danced all the way to the back
with them.
2. Al Snow vs. Steve Blackman
Al Snow said he went to Walmart today to try and buy some of his figures and
they were already taken off the shelf, but he was able to buy a shotgun and
some ammo. Then Blackman came out to lots of boos Blackman didn't do very
much. Tried some rollovers and Al Snow kept rolling out of them. Al Snow
kicked Blackman in the face into the chairs. Blackman got Al Snow on the
ropes, pushed him around a little bit then Blackman pinned Al.
About this time my son walked over to me with an open "entire" roll of exposed film and wanted what to do with it. The worst thing of all was we just spent 2 hours in line waiting for Mick Foley to sign his book (at Walmart in Harrisburg), and had quite a few pictures of him up close. I left to try to see if I could get the film sealed up, to no avail. What a shame. So, I missed the next match and 1/2.
3. Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz
Chris Hardy won by doing the Centron Bomb.
4. British Bulldog vs. Test (for the Eureopean Championship) Bulldog came out to mixed reviews, but Test came out to lots of loud pops. Test and Bulldog did alot of back and forth to the corners. Bulldog did a great Suplex (extremely long) was a 2 count then Test got out of it. Bulldog did a sleeper hold on Test another 2 count and out. Outside the ring Test got a chair and was disqualified for hitting Bulldog with it.
5. Kane vs. Prince Albert
Prince Albert came out to boos, Kane came out to lots of pops, but no flames.
Not too much during this match. Nice backbreaker by Prince Albert. I never
saw so many flashes from strobes as I did when Kane a clothesline from the 2nd
rope. Then, did a chokeslam and won.
6. D'lo Brown vs. Gangrel
Everyone loved Gangrel's ritual goblet drinking complete with "blood"
splurting. Then D'lo came out with lots of claps, went to each corner and it
just kept getting louder. D'lo to Gangrel clothesline out over the ring.
Couple fists thrown and back into the ring. Gangrel got a 2 count on D'lo
then a kickout. D'lo sleeper hold on Gangrel 2 and up. Then D'lo gave Gangrel
the Low Down and got the pin. Gangrel left to lots of boos while D'lo stood
at each corner while the strobes flashed away.
7. Mankind vs. Val Venis
Val came out to mixed reaction, then Mankind came out and got (almost) a
standing ovation. Xtreme stobes flashing. Val then got lots of A**hole
chants.
Mankind said the good news was he was at Walmart today and got a couple of Al
Snow's figures, but the bad news was he was ready to kill someone.
Then Mick said in a mock Val voice, "You know Val is alot like the Great Bear
here in Hersheypark, everyone wants to give it a ride, but realize it's the
shortest one in the park, then get sick when they get off of it." Val throw
punches at Mankind then slides through the ropes. Val stayed out to a seven
count then Mankind went after him. Then Foley gets into the ring with a chair
and the ref takes it off of him. (to lots of boos) Val gets Mankind with a
low blow. Everyone starts yelling Socko but Val gets Mankind with a Suplex to
a 2 count, Mankind back up to the chants of Socko, while the ref is turned,
Val does a "nutcracker" keeps Mankind down and wins the match. Mankind gets
up to the chants again of Socko and gets Val Venis with Mr. Socko. Great
match.
8. Big Show vs. Big Bossman (Main Event)
Hugh boos to Bossman. Lots of pops and Flashes when Show comes out and raises
a hand. Xtreme A**holes to Bossman while the Show sat on the corner
turnbuckle and waited for everyone to finish. Show twists Bossman's arm gets
an elbow to the Bossman's face. Bossman slides out of the ring. Show goes
after him and ran him into the metal post, then the metal steps. Bossman gets
the nightstick and hits Show in the face, he's out until a 7 count. Show gets
up kicks the Bossman into the corner then the Bossman gets Show with a low
blow. Show gives Bossman a "piggyback" ride into the corner then headbutts
begin. Show gives Bossman a chokeslam to extreme flashes when Prince Albert
comes out after show. Prince Albert gets chokeslammed. Show was the winner
by DQ. Another good match.
9. The Hollys vs. The Acolytes vs. New Age Outlaws vs. Edge & Christian (Four Team Elimination Tag Team Match) c Outlaws come out to a standing ovation. Road Dogg w/regular saying and crowd joins in with Bad Ass. Boos all the way around to the Holly's. Someone threw paper at Hardcore Holly and Road Dogg started tossing it around. (pretty funny, actually). Christian & Edge come out to lots of pops, while not much noise was made when the Acolytes came out. Bradshaw was in the ring while the Holly's argued over who was going to start the match. Crash ended up staying in and got thrown around an awful lot. The Acolytes and The Holly's threw around each other alot and ended up out of the ring and got disqualified. Nothing fantastic but a pretty good match with the New Age Outlaws, Edge & Christian. Ended when Bad Ass pinned Christian after the Famouser. Outlaws win.
