there was maybe 4-5,000 people in attendance if that
finkle started the show off and the fans were jacked..some fireworks kicked off and the first few looked like oversize sparklers.
1- scott steiner beat christian in a stall fest....christian rolled out of the ring maybe 5 or 6 times which didnt generate positive heat.the people were ready for action and it just wasnt gonna happen..steiner won the match after maybe 9 or 10 minutes with the top rope slam *3/4 stars
2-jackie def molly holly...they both had guest managers who won contests at a local radio station...molly faked a knee injury which my brother pointed out that she pulled the same stunt at the raw show last september here in houston...way to pay attention to your fan base * star
3-sean o'hare def d-lo brown...i was pretty unfortunate to sit in front of a um...good ol boy and he didnt take to kindly to d'los anti white boy lashing at the fans and o'hare....i mean this guy was straight out of the movie deliverance with out going into to much detail.....sean got a good pop and looked better than i have ever seen him...not great but better...o'haire won with a razors edge and d'lo had a classic scared look on his face as o'hare walked in a full circle before dropping the edge**stars
4-william regal&lance storm retain the world tag team titles over bubba&d-von dudley..due to interferance from chief morley..this was a really good match and the crowd was really into it and should have been the final match of the night...all 4 men worked there asses off and it showed...after the match morley got bubba bombed through a table ***1/2
5-spike dudley def steven richards....no heat and the crowd didnt seem interested*
6-kane&rvd def 3 minutes with a choke slam followed by a five star frog splash...Rosey got pinned.crowd was into both kane&rvd but the match was only ok and since i had such low expectations of this one that was better than what i thought it would be**1/4 stars
7-chris jerico with christian def test--the guy with 12 big pushes and still has absolutely no heat w/stacey kiebler test has gotten huge and thats not good,he has less mobility than ever before but vince likes his guys jacked up..jerico wins by hitting test in well his testicles and pinned him with the sleeper into a sleeper bomb..**
ok here we go this match pissed me and my brother off big time(not due to the fact that hunter was injured we knew that ahead of time) ric flair is introduced and he gets a standing ovation...jeeze they keep booking him like crap and he still gets the big pop...flair gets in the ring and insults some fan for touching him while he walked down the aisle and says he will slap her if she tries to pull that stuff again..he does the shut up fatboy routine twice...one guy was actually fat but the 2nd guy was skinny...he introduces triple h who gets a big pop...he comes out and immediately starts jaw jacking with a middle aged bald man in the front row and says over the mic he doesnt understand why he would try to attract so much attention to yourself when you are so physically repulsive...he then says that he would love to face booker t tonight but he is hurt..and he really would have loved kicking his ass in front of his family and friends in houston....then you hear tell me you just didnt say that and booker and hunter have a raw t.v. style face off until batista attacks booker from behind
8- booker t def batista ... this may be the match that kills houston wrestling...let me explain i have been a hardcore fan since i was a lil baby..i am 28 now..i have been to lot of bad shows...and great shows but i have never left a show feeling so ripped off and so belittled..i am relatively easy to please when it comes to my wrestling...if they make an honest effort to put on a good main event even if it sucks then i can respect that...but batista..i really feel insulted that wwe has so little respect for its fans and our money...booker t is cool with me as half of a main event and though on tv he hasnt been pushed as a main eventer i feel he should be one....batista though jeeze all i have to say is W.T.F. they could have put jerico in that spot or closed the show with the dudleys tag match but they close a show with this and the fans respond by not paying attention to the match and many wound up leaving..i would estimate that once batista hit the ring 100-200 people hit the doors.
