DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 WWE House Show (Raw) - November 21, 2003 The attendance was not very good. The entire upper deck was blocked off and the corners of the lower bowl were empty. Opening Match/Segment: Hurricane/Rosey def. Dreamer/Brawler: Coach opened the show by promoting local radio station WRIF, free shirts, and a contest that people who purchased Programs were eligible for. He remained the ring announcer for the entire show. Coach, surprisingly, had a lot of heat (although we appeared to be in a 'heel section', as we and others around us tried a 'Coach! Coach! Coach!' chant). He welcomed the man who made the show possible, the only Raw GM, Eric Bischoff. Eric said Bubba Dudley was suspended, so D-Von would be able to pick a partner of his choice for later in the show, and ran his mouth until Hurricane interupted. Brooklyn Brawler came out and attacked Hurricane, but Tommy Dreamer made the save with the Kendo stick.. but then turned. It was a 2 on 1 handicap match until Rosey made the save. Hurricane pinned Brawler with the Shining Wizard, but Bischoff and Coach complained of cheating. Originally, this was scheduled to be Hurricane vs. Brawler and Dreamer vs Rosey. La Resistance ran in, followed by Jindrak and Cade for the save, leading to.. Match #2: Jindrak/Cade def. La Resistance: Dupree called us "Detroit retards". Energetic effort, the green team won with their Dropkick/Spinebuster combo. Highlight was people in our section (self included) loudly chanting "Dance! Dance! Dance!" at Dupree. He did a move much like the people's elbow where he lowered his knee pad while stnading above Cade's head, then did THE DANCE~! much to our amusement, then dropped the knee. He had a huge grin on his face while doing it, seemingly enjoying our support. Match #3: Mark Henry (/w Theodore Long) def. Val Venis. Pre-match, Long noted the lack of black players for the Red Wings, and noted the only the puck was black, with whitey attacking it. Hockeytown should be known as "Honkytown". Mid match, Val got the mic to say a girl Teddy was arguing with could kick his ass. Val worked hard. Finish was Val missing the Money Shot and Henry doing his powerslam. Post match, Henry wiped himself with Val's towel and threw it on Venis. Val then gave it away to an excited young woman, who apparently forgot what Henry did with it. Coach called a guy in an Evolution shirt the biggest idiot in Detroit for wanting the towel and kiss from Val, with his only saving grace being his coice of shirt. Match #4: Lita/Christian def. Matt Hardy/Molly Holly. Highlight for us was being in the 5th row while Molly was being over in her nice outfit there. Christian managed to play the face and heel (he shoved Molly to the ground in a heel manner, for example) at the same time. Lita got the win wit a DDT on Molly. Post match, Coach interviews Lita. Jazz attacks, but Lita fights her off with another DDT and slaps Coach. Match #5: Chris Jericho def. Maven. Coach acknowleged our sections "Y2J" chants by smirking and giving the thumbs up. Jericho, on the other hand, ranted about people saying he either sucked or was an asshole. Finish was Jericho low blowing Maven and making him tap in the Walls of Jericho after an earlier attempt led to a rope break. Match #6: D-Von Dudley/Hurricane (fighting for The Dudley Boyz) def. Scott Steiner and Test to retain the World Tag titles. This was annoucned as No DQ, but that only played into the finish when Hurricane and D-Von put Test through a table to pin him. Crowd chanted "We Want Stacy". Mid match, D-Von got the mic to say some fan in the front row could kick Steiner's ass. Test was cut open on his abs after the table spot. Post match, Rosey, Hurricane, and D-Von surveyed the crowd for who best deserved a piece of table thrown to them, but elected to give it to a child and pose in the ring with him to a nice pop. Everyone looked happy here. Match #7: RVD def Kane by DQ (Chair shot). Very short match. Kane missed his clothesline, got a chair, Rob Van Daminated him. Kane ended up getting the chair again and hitting RVD. Lots of boos. Match #8: Booker T/Goldberg def. HHH/Randy Orton/Batista. We came very close to being hit by HHH's water bottle. Evolution was going to leave, but Booker and Goldberg convcined them to return. The match was built around Goldberg getting the tag, cleaning house, doing a spear on two people at once (HHH and Orton), then Jackhammered Orton for the win. Good heat for the match. Not great work, but people were into it. HHH was in there a lot more than I expected and even sold for both men. After the match, Booker T promised us the first ever Goldbergaroonie, which was not bad. Big pops. They shook hands with everyone who ran up to the front afterwards. A fun show overall, though not all the work was great. Most wrestlers really looked to be enjoying themsevles (most noticeabley Dupree and Rosey) and many people could be seen noticeably smiling and holding back chuckles during the show despite the low attendance.

Yeah, it may be cheaper at Best Buy, but for a few extra bucks, you could have it now, instead of waiting for a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
