We walked in right as the National Anthem was playing - recording, no Lillian. The crowd was pretty decent - Id guess around 5500 peeps.
MATCH 1 - Viscera over Tyson Tomko
Vis was way over - even more so than just being the first face of the night. He got the humping in and got the win with a powerbomb.
Earl Hebner came out to a good pop and we go to MATCH 2 - Kerwin White over Tajiri. Loud chants for Tajiri and it was a good match, but half the people didnt recognize Kerwin as Chavo. Kerwin wins with his feet on the ropes. Kerwins new intro is Frank Sinatras The Way You Look Tonight, but they only played it after the match.
MATCH 3 - Maria comes out and introduces Victoria against Christy - Christy was over with the crowd and wins with her feet on the ropes. Victoria attacked her and Maria made the save by grabbing her leg and then double teaming her.
MATCH 4 - Hurricane/Rosey retain the tag titles over the Heart Throbs. Good crowd interaction in an otherwise regular match.
The Coach comes out and announces the main events have been changed (for the better) and then brings out Rene Dupree. Blah, blah, blah . and then Eugene is back. Coach yells at Eugene and then Rock Bottom on Coach and Stone Cold Stunner on Dupree. Eugene got a huge pop.
MATCH 5 - Big Show wins by DQ over Edge - Lita tries to interfere with the briefcase as Snitsky comes down. Edge & Lita get out of dodge while Snitsky takes the chokeslam.
Intermission. MATCH 6 - Carlito over Shelton Benjamin to retain the IC title. Better than their last match on Raw and Carlito wins with his feet on the rope. The rope cheating in so many matches was the most annoying part of the night.
MATCH 7 - HBK over Ric Flair - great match that went over 20 minutes. HBK pulled Flairs trunks down at 1 point and nothing was left to the imagination. All the usual spots and just a wonderful match up to see.
MATCH 8 - Cena over HHH to retain the WWE title. A much better match than I expected and Tripsy put over Cena clean. Earl jumped off the apron to stop HHH from landing a chairshot on Cena, and it appeared that Tripsy and Cena were trying to have a spitting contest on their sells - one of HHHs landed in about the 5th row behind him.
Great show - it may have been the best of the 10 or so events Ive seen live
