Attendance Estimate: not given
Report by Andrew, PWTorch.com correspondent
It was an okay show, I wasn’t expecting much so, all in all it was pretty entertaining.
(1) The Dudleys beat 3 Minute Warning (w/Rico). Dudley Boyz came out to a huge pop from the crowd! Rico got tons of heat! Rico interfered at the end but, the Dudley Boyz picked up the win with the 3-D.
(2) Rodney Mack (w/Teddy Long) beat Tommy Dreamer. Before the match Teddy Long gave another white boy speech to the crowd, and said that Dreamer was just another white boy. Mack got the victory with a powerslam. After the match, Dreamer lifted up a young fan in the front row and the crowd went nuts!
(3) La Resistance beat Hurricane & Maven. La Resistance came out wearing these stupid looking french hats and started to dance. They ran a promo speaking in french and then made fun of the English-speaking audience. Pretty good match, La Resistance won with a double spinebuster. Maven and Hurricane got a pretty big pop when they were leaving the ring after the match.
(4) Christian beat Spike Dudley. The crowd was behind Christian through most of it. But, Before the match they had kind of a pose down between the two, and when Christian tried to climb the ropes to pose, he tripped up and fell, it was hilarious! Christian pulled of the win with the Unprettier.
(5) Jazz beat Trish and Victoria and Jacqueline. The people went nuts when Trish came out, because it was basically her home town. Trish was dominating when out of no where Jazz pinned Jacqueline for the quick win. Trish and Jacqueline posed for the crowd after the match.
(6) Kane & RVD beat Chief Morley & Lance Storm. RVD was by far the best on the card, and this was definitely the best match on the card. The Canadian crowd cheered Morley & Storm somewhat but, they were mostly pro RVD! RVD & Kane picked up the win after a Chokeslam and a 5 Star Frog Splash.
(7) Steven Richards beat Rico. I have no idea why this was second last match, doesn’t make much sense to me. And who’s the face? Anyways, pretty bad match. Steven Richards wins.
(8) Test beat Scott Steiner (w/Stacy). Steiner cut a promo making fun of Canada and started singing the American National Anthem. Maybe he’s turning heel? Who knows. Test came out to a huge pop. Test’s family was ringside, and people actually cheered pretty loud for him. Steiner got major heat the whole match for being pro American. Test picked up the win with the big boot. While people were leaving Steiner got on the microphone to talk down to the audience but, it was funny because no one cared and just proceeded to leave!
That was it, not a great show but, it’s what I expected.
