Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 The Civic Center holds approx 5000 seats and as of Friday, only 1500 were sold. There were a lot of last minute seats sold this afternoon, taking it to what I would say would be 2100 max. The walk way to the ring was about 20 feet as they came out from the hockey dressing rooms. The heels from the visitor's room, the faces from the home locker room. Here is a run down of the matches and results: Match one: Hurricane vs. Stevie Richards. *** Hurricane got a huge pop as he was the first guy out. Stevie got a lot of heat, including one guy yelling at him from the cheap seats that gay pride week was next week, and "you can't wear pink, you're in Charlottetown now boy..." To which Stevie gave him the finger. End came with Hurricane picking up the win with the Shining Wizard. Match two: Randy Orton vs. Val Venis. 1/2* Orton came out and grabbed the mic, all he got to say was "Charlottetown..." before Val's music hit. Val took the mic and all he got to say was "Hello ladies..." before Orton hit him from behind. Match went back and forth, but Fink kept reminding us of how much time had gone by, counting down every 30 seconds for the last 2.5 minutes. Val hit a spin buster with 3 seconds left but the time ran out as the ref hit 2. The match went to a 10 minute draw. (A draw on a house show?) Val asked the crowd and the ref for 5 more minutes, didn't get it but was hit with an RKO for his efforts. Val then threw his towel to a lucky fan in the audience. Match three: Tommy Dreamer vs. Rosey ** Rosey came out to minor heat, Dreamer came out to a huge pop. Rosey took the mic and said he was sick of hearing about ECW this and ECW that... And challenged Dreamer to a no DQ match. Before Tommy could accept, he was hit with the mic and the match was on.... Not too much to tell here other than the appearance of Mark Jindrak, unfortunately nobody knew who he was since he hasn't appeared on TV yet, so a lot of people were asking who he was, and he got no real reaction. End came with Rosey swinging and missing with a chair that bounced back and hit him in the face. He dropped the chair, Tommy DDT'd him on the chair for the 1-2-3 and the win. Match four: Gail Kim vs. Ivory vs. Victoria for the WWE women's title. *** Kim is really small in person. Stevie came out with Victoria and the heckler from match one reminded Stevie that he still didn't like him, tossing more insults his way. Ivory bumped like crazy and was out of the match more than she was in it. Stevie was ejected after hitting Ivory for a 3rd time. (To the heckler's delight) End came with Ivory being dropped off the apron and Gail Kim hitting a huracanrana that ended with her sitting on Victoria's chest for the 3 count. The move just looked messy and the ref gave the cross symbol almost immediately after the 3 count. Fink went to the back and came back with Terry Taylor, Fit Finley and trainers to check on Victoria. Stevie came back out as well. After checking on her for 3-5 minutes, and trying to get up twice, Victoria, with help from Stevie made her way to the back as the crowd gave her an ovation. Match five: RVD vs. Test. **** Test came out first and began taunting the crowd. RVD's music hit and the roof was blown off the Civic Center. RVD is easily the most over guy of the night. Funny moment when Test begins arguing with a 5 year old in the front row, and Charles Robinson gets between the 2, Test acting like his is trying to get at him, and the 5 year old taunting him on to bring it. Good match between the two with RVD winning with a 5 star frog splash. Then Kane's music hits and he comes out to the ring (Interestingly enough, from the heel's locker room.) Test bailed and that left RVD by himself. Val and Hurricane came out to try to talk Kane out of it, but got chokeslammed for their efforts. RVD and Charles Robinson also were chokeslammed before Kane left the ring. All 4 sold getting chokeslammed and one by one they got up and posed for the crowd. Fink then informed us it was the intermission, and when they returned, there would be an IC title defense by Canada's own Christian. Match six: Booker T vs. Christian for the IC title. **** Booker comes out to a pretty good pop, Christian comes out to mostly boos which surprised me, being in Canada and all. Lot of "Christian's Peeps" signs in the crowd. Booker controlled most of the match with Christian selling, trying to be counted out and asking for time outs. End comes when Booker goes for a sunset flip, the ref counted what looked like 3, then Christian grabbed the tights rolled him up and grabbed a rope for leverage..1-2-3. Christian grabbed the belt and took off. Booker sat in the ring holding up 3 fingers, then got up, posed on the ropes, circled the ring side area high fiving everyone and then left. Match seven: Rico w/ Miss Jackie vs. Maven. ** Almost the exact same match they had on Raw last week other than the ending. Rico came out playing his new character to the extreme. Had what looked like 3 rollers in the front of his hair, one red, white and blue. Did all the same bits he did on Raw, including grabbing Maven's BUTT, slapping his BUTT, kissing him, putting his crotch in his face, skipping with the ref, and slapping the ref's BUTT. Rico is more flamboyant than Billy and Chuck ever dreamed of being. End comes with Maven hitting a bulldog from the top rope. Match eight: La Resistance vs. the Dudley Boys for the World Tag Team title. ***** 5 stars alone for Bubba Ray and how he carried the match. It was Bubba Ray and Spike vs. La Resistance, no explanation as to where D-Von was. Bubba carried the match and kept the crowd into it. At one point he had Dupree in a camel clutch, where Dupree yelled "Ouch, that hurts!" To which Bubba replied, "You're damn right it hurts, you french f***ot!" Couple of near falls including the dudley dog from Spike that were broken up at the last second. Crowd begged for tables but didn't get them tonight. End came with Bubba being hit with a tag belt and Spike taking La Resistance's finisher for the 1-2-3. After the match, the champs took the mic and yelled at Bubba and Spike, asking in french if they were OK and if they liked that? Tommy Dreamer hit the ring with Garbage cans and a hockey stick and the faces cleared the ring to a huge ECW chant. Bubba brought a young fan into the ring and gave him the hockey stick, then took the mic and thanked us all for coming. Bubba was a class act. All in all, it was a good show. I was in Halifax Nova Scotia in May for the Raw and Smackdown tapings, so this was my 3rd show in 2 months, which is cool since they don¹t make it to this part of Canada very often. The show lacked star power such as Jericho, Stacy, D-Von, Trish, Steiner, Rodney Mack (I would have loved to hear Teddy Long on the mic) etc... But made up for it with RVD and Christian. No return date was announced, and with the poor advanced ticket sales, I'd have to think that if I want to see them again any time soon, I'll have to go to Halifax or Moncton. Biggest Pop: RVD Booker Dudleys Maven Best Heat: Stevie Richards Randy Orton Rico La Resistance credit:1wrestling.com
Guest Dillon Likes Bossman Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Something tells me those star ratings are a little off...
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 At one point he had Dupree in a camel clutch, where Dupree yelled "Ouch, that hurts!" To which Bubba replied, "You're damn right it hurts, you french f***ot!" Well, isn't that just wonderful. Way to be, Bubba
Guest OnlyMe Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 The heels from the visitor's room, the faces from the home locker room. Nice touch
Guest HartFan86 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Very nice touch. They should do that much more often.
Guest Choken One Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Nice. Little things like that add to the show... It always made people wonder why the faces and heels came from the same dressing room...
Guest humongous2002 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 La Resistfags main eventing a house show??The should've put an RVD match as a main event instead of those talentless fluffers.
Guest Lord of The Curry Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Enjoy it Bubba because it's the only time your name and ***** will be mentioned in the same sentance.
King Cucaracha Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Rosey took the mic and said he was sick of hearing about ECW this and ECW that... Despite working there before himself...
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 I'm pretty sure he's wrong about that...
Guest DokDoyle Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 La Resistfags main eventing a house show??The should've put an RVD match as a main event instead of those talentless fluffers. One of the reasons that they may have main-evented is that Rene Dupree is from Moncton/Shediac, which is about an hour away from Charlottown
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 More like 2 1/2 hours. And of course those star ratings should have *** taken off them automatically.
Guest DokDoyle Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 More like 2 1/2 hours. And of course those star ratings should have *** taken off them automatically. Is it really that long? I haven't made the trip in a very long time, but I didn't think it would take that long.
Guest Trivia247 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Rosey NEVER worked for ECW. Rosey never worked for ECW Jamal on the other hand did... he was 1/2 of the Samoan Gangta Party with SAMU.
