WWE house show results, impressions and whatnot

[Guest Nobody in Particular]

I guess it's my turn to fill in on what 99.99999% of the fans missed out on....

 

As I arrived at the arena, RVD was signing autographs. He left just as I got there naturally.

 

Match #1- Sean O'Haire vs Sheldon Benjamin. O'Haire got some decent heat in this one, which I guess was i sign of things to come from the crowd. I can't tell an armbar from a piledriver so I really can't walk through the matches. O'Haire wins at 7:18.

 

Match #2- Steven Richards vs Tommy Dreamer. Tommy comes out with a kendo stick. Stevie whines saying if Tommy doesnt get rid of it he's leaving. Biggest heat of the night there with the massive "Pussy" chant. I have never heard a louder crowd during a hardcore match ever. Standard hardcore fare, Shawn Stasiak ran in to win the belt (while I tried and failed to start a "Meat" chant), then Stevie then won then Tommy won the belt back.

 

Match #3- Molly Holly vs Victoria. Dullest match of the night (and shortest). Molly wins at 3:38. Molly's ass is far from fat.

 

Match #4- Bradshaw vs Chris Harvard. Nothing to see here. Bradshaw wins at 6:49.

 

Match #5- William Regal vs Goldust. Goldie got a nice pop (read: "Dusty" chant). Regal got some nice heat too ("I don't suck. I'm not from Canada") Crowd ate it all up as always. Goldust wins at 8:12.

 

Match #6- Chris Benoit vs RVD. Like I really need to tell you how this one went. As Rob went for the *****, Latino Heat ran in to help Benoit win at 9:45. Crowd was insane.

 

Match #7- Spike vs Johnny the Bull. None of the usual Spike bumps. Next. Johnny at 6:23

 

Match #8- Big Show vs Bubba Ray. Not just any table match, a Kelowna Street fight table match. Would have been nothing to write home about, but when the fight went into the crowd, they went no more than 3 feet from where I was sitting. Show even pushed my sister out of the way ("Slimy" she says). Show wins at 8:15.

 

 

Match #9 Hardyz vs Raven/Justin Credible. Christ. At one point I thought I was at an *NSync concert when the Hardy music started. The only thing of note is when Raven got some chick in the front row to flash. Hardyz at 6:14.

 

Match #10- Booker T vs Latino Heat. Eddie talks his way into a no-DQ match. Crowd went nuts for the book. Benoit ran in near the end and got Book in a crossface. As Eddie was about to go froggie RVD came for the save and went ***** on Eddie. Booker wins at 9:31.

 

Afterwards Booker was just gonna leave the ring until RVD called him in for the real show. He noticed my sign ("I paid $55 to see the spinarooni") And that was it.

 

All in all it was an awesome show. The crowd was into it from start to finish. Which really shouldn't surprise me since the only other time any of the big boys were in town was the post-New Blood Rising Nitro.

[Guest Flyboy]

Sounds like a good show.

 

But.. why was Eddie & Benoit there?

[Guest MrRant]

They aren't booked for the Melbourne tour and all the house shows until the next Smackdown are RAW shows. Gotta have some stars there you know?

[Guest Mikey2Dope]

Hey man I was at that show tonight as well. You from Kelowna? I came from Vernon. Annnnnyways I thought it was a pretty damn good show too but didn't see the logic in bringing only one Canadian star to Canada. I mean if The Un-American would have came it would have blown the roof od the place. But I think the thing that surprised me the most was that pop The Big Show got. In fact him and Bubba had 2 of the biggest pops of the night.

Eight minutes of Regal v. Goldust??????? Lucky bastards. :-)

Yeah dude it was pretty awesome. Regal was awesome on the mic and was getting a ton of heat. Golddust got a pretty good pop as well so I hope they get more reactions like that so the WWE sees that these 2 should be getting a bigger push. After Regal lost and was walking back to the dressing room he seemed to be crying so that angle still might not be done and Golddust had his left arm taped up and seemed to be favoring it so no idea what happened there.

[Guest DJ Jeff]

That sounds like it was a pretty decent show. However, now that Benoit and Guerrero are on Smackdown, why were they at the show? Anyways, I'd rate the show 7.5/10 judging from the results.

I'm glad the match was over- I'm telling ya- WMXIX is gonna be huge with Regal v. Dust

Just a guess but when the announced the card Eddy and Beniot were probably still on RAW there for they probably had to wrestle. Like Triple H and Jericho did for the Show in Australia.

Yeah I don't get that either. Sure they had been advertised for awhile(before they defected) but you got the Un-Americans now on Raw who would have been SO over in Canada it wouldn't have been funny. It was supposed to be RVD vs Lesnar but I think they pulled him out to replace Hogan in Aussie.
