Guest TheBigCalbowski Report post Posted August 31, 2003 There were quite a few changes to the card from the original one posted at Fleetcenter.com. Match #1 WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match Rey Mysterio vs. Nunzio A hot opener to get the crowd pumped. Mysterio hits the 619 followed up by a springboard splash on Nunzio for the win. Winner and still CW Champ: Rey Mysterio Match #2 Jamie "By God" Noble: The Redneck Messiah and Billy Gunn vs. Basham Brothers w/Sheniqua That's how Tony Chimel announced Noble which I thought was cool. Shitty match. Noble was the one who actually got the hot tag. The end saw Noble with a roll up on Danny while the ref was distracted with Gunn and Doug. Sheniqua enters the ring and I believe hits Noble in the face, but it was so sloppy I couldn't tell what it was suppose to be. This allowed Danny to reverse into a school boy for the win. Noble and Gunn argue about it afterwards and make up while they walk back through the curtain. Winners: Basham Brothers Match #3 Mortis vs. Matt Hardy w/Shannon Moore One of the best matches of the night. Mortis now wears purple and is announced to be from Singapore. Good back and forth action. Hardy attempts a Twist Of Fate, but Mortis sends him into the turnbuckle. Mortis goes up top, but Hardy stops him dead on his tracks and attempts another Twist Of Fate. Mortis pushes him off and the ref gets occupied with Hardy. Moore pulls Mortis' leg and crotches him. Mortis walks into a Twist Of Fate giving Hardy the victory. Winner: Matt Hardy Vince and Sable make their way to the ring. Vince says that he was originally the guest referee for the No. 1 Contender's main event tonight, but he decided not to do it. Instead it will be someone to make sure Brock Lesnar is the winner. John Cena is announced as the referee. Vince then goes off on how everyone wishes they were him and that Labor Day Weekend is actually Vince McMahon Weekend. He then has Sable do something to him that all the men and even some of the women would want her to do. He says "Kiss me bitch". Sable kisses him. This is then followed by a passionate kiss. Vince says to hit my music as a pointless segment comes to a close. Match #4 Billy Kidman and Spanky vs. Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli w/Nunzio Nice match with Spanky playing the face in peril. Kidman gets the hot tag and we see some nice spots involving all 4 men. The end had Spanky and Palumbo taking each other out of the ring while Kidman hit the Shooting Star Press on Stamboli. Winners: Billy Kidman and Spanky Match #5 Orlando Jordan vs. A-Train Pretty much the shitty match you'd expect with Jordan getting in some offense. I got a couple laughs after I made my "Hit him with the powerful force of air" comment following A-Train's bicycle kick. A-Train finished off Jordan with the Train Wreck for the win. Match #6 WWE Tag Team Championship Match APA vs. World's Greatest Tag Team Very shitty match. Bradshaw takes the mic at the start of the match and asks Benjamin if he's getting double pay cause he was out earlier in the night. He went off about how Benjamin and Sheniqua were the same person as been going on for a couple weeks now. Some funny stuff with Benjamin checking himself to make sure he was male. Even asked that the ref and Haas to check it, but they refused. Match starts off with Haas and Faarooq, but Haas takes the mic and says he's tired of everything Bradshaw has said to his partner and wants a piece of him. Bradshaw tags in and Haas tags out. Bradshaw plays the face in peril in this tag match. At the close of the match Faarooq sets up the Dominator on Haas, but the ref is distracted with Bradshaw so Benjamin comes in super kicks Faarooq allowing Haas to the roll up victory. Following the match, Haas and Benjamin celebrate and decided to dish out more punishment on the APA. Benjamin and Haas send Bradshaw into the turnbuckle. Haas charges him, but he moves. Haas gets a clothesline from Faarooq while Benjamin gets a Clothesline From Hell. Winners: World's Greatest Tag Team Intermission Match #7 Tajiri vs. Rhyno The best match of the night. Great action packed match. The end saw the two of them try to hit each other with their finishers. Rhyno eventually hit the Gore and got the win. Winner: Rhyno Match #8 4 Diva Bikini Contest Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie vs. Nidia vs. Sable This was hosted by Romero, The Freakin Puerto Rican of Jamn 94.5. Nidia did her white girl dance. The other 3 divas did their usual routine. Romero goes to the crowd to determine the winner. Nidia was first, but Sable said Nidia was looking a little stuffed tonight and pulled something out of her bikini. Nidia left after Sable did that. Romero continues with the judging. I swear Dawn Marie had a louder pop than Torrie did yet she came out the winner. Torrie shakes hands with Dawn Marie and Sable. Sable actually slaps her and Dawn Marie tackles her with a catfight ensuing. Sable just leaves watching them, while Torrie rolls Dawn Marie off of her to the outside. Winner: Torrie Wilson Match #9 No. 1 Contender's Triple Threat Match Special ref: John Cena Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show Cena comes in and raps about how he's in Boston and appeals to the crowd. He raps about the 3 guys in the match. Funny stuff about Brock and Big Show. He says something good about Taker and then gets a Yankees Suck chant going. They did a lot of the same spots as their match on Smackdown. The end had all of them hitting their finishers. Brock hits Show with the F5. Brock grabs a chair to finish off Taker, but Taker boots the chair into his face. Taker smashes Brock and Show with the chair. Covers Big Show and gets the win. Winner: Undertaker Following the match, Brock and Cena get into it. Cena is about to leave while Brock starts to pummel him. Cena makes a come back and hits the FU on Brock. Cena then follows it up with an ankle lock as Brock taps to it. Overall it was a decent show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Gunn's gotten worse in recent years from his earlier tag team days, and it doesn't help that he'll be remembered for nearly killing Chris Benoit in two of their matches.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted August 31, 2003 I think Gunn's gotten worse in recent years from his earlier tag team days Shut up! He's a cool, red hot face and a golden god! *laughs thinking of posters who actually said this* Anyway, Brock's even getting bitched out at house shows. I still think this is being done because his face title run didn't light the world on fire as expected. And while he's only done what he's told, I can't really sympathize considering he is everything Vince McMahon adores in a top guy, therefore everyone else "should" do the same, and everything and everyone was sacrificed for it.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 31, 2003 I feel bad for Brock. There was no reason to do it to Angle after his first (and maybe second) reign, and certainly no reason to do it to Brock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Hell, Brock even had to take the JOB in his own fucking hometown for crying out loud during that house show too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silence 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Hell, Brock even had to take the JOB in his own fucking hometown for crying out loud during that house show too. Yet JR, Jerry Lawler, and Jacqueline are allowed to win in their hometowns. WWE never ceases to amaze me with hypocritical shit like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
