Anyone else planning to attend? It's in Hershey PA. I'm going with a buddy of mine. After a day of football on my dish, we'll be primed and ready. |

I need to drink what you guys are drinking.
Maybe then I could pass the Kidney Stone.
Tomorrow will be 4 weeks to the day, and it's still here.

Really a solid card last night from top to bottom. Always great to have the Dudleys open things up, and bash some tables. Not sure why Spike didn’t appear unless they were trying to sell his injuries more. Loved the fact that Austin made it a title match. That added more intensity. The women’s match had some good action, and didn’t go too long, which was the right thing to do. Trish’s white outfit blended very well with her tan. Oh, and the wrestling……Trish had some nice high spots. She’s really developed her repertoire. Lita looked rusty. Her finisher had no air behind it at all. She practically just fell downward, even seeming to hurt her own ribs by the impact. Good she had Molly to cushion her landing. Gail Kim looked short, but very, very hot! Lita looked like a monster in there. Maybe she got taller while she was out.
HBK/Orton seemed to drag due to the arm locks etc.. That hurt the crowd. HBK is still way over though. Flair was hilarious, though it seems strange to see him look so weak. Crowd didn’t like Hebner continuing the match after HBK “won.” Test/Steiner was okay especially considering the limitations of both wrestlers. Steiner messed up one move and the fans let him know it. Worst match of the night was easily the Announcer match. As we sat there watching it, I remarked how ridiculous it was to see Al Snow v. Jerry Lawler on a PPV. Coach and JR just stood on the outside most of the match (where they belong). Y2J running in was a little odd, even with him dropping hints earlier in the Austin vignette.
Match of the night, without any question, was Shane and Kane. Right from the start, this was a brutal, intense affair. Shane jumped him from behind with a chair as Kane walked down the aisle. Kane’s back had big red welts and eventually bled from the chair shots. Shane’s Van Terminator----using the ring steps instead of a chair----drew many “holy sh*t” chants from us crazies. I also threw some ECDub chants in (old habits die hard, and after all, it is an old RVD move). As expected they worked their way back towards the Titan Tron, where the scaffolding and Spanish Announce table was. Our seats were right near there, at a nice angle. The announce table was raised up on the stage that was built. Kane knocked the table down below, narrowly missing Shane who rolled out of the way. The sound of the table smacking the ground was very loud. Lucky Shane timed it right. As Shane turned things around and beat on Kane, even using a WWE camera, we exploded with “Go up high” chants. Shane looked at us, looked up at the scaffolding, and proceeded to climb up. He was roughly 25’ up when he jumped. I’ve read 20’ on the web, but 25’ was more accurate. Kane rolled away, and Shane went through the stage, drawing more “holy sh*t” chants. All that was visible was his feet and hands. The rest of him was submerged below. I did a brief “Shane is dead” chant as the Ref counted to 10 and the match was over. After the paramedics got Shane up and onto the board etc., he left to a huge “Shane O Mac” chant---started by us, of course, and picked up on by the entire arena.
HHH/Goldberg wasn’t bad. Goldberg pulled a few moves, which surprised me. A couple of suplexes and a nice Davey Boy Smith side scoop into a power slam. HHH bladed outside the ring, and it didn’t really fit with the action, unfortunately. Crowd was 98% pro-Goldberg. I think they want something or someone different than HHH after all this time, and they got it. The IC Triple Threat match may have been the 2nd best match, but it followed Shane/Kane, and therefore was dead for at least the first 10 minutes. Some nice high spots woke the fans up though, and it was a well paced, decent length match. Christian retaining was a huge feather in his cap, in my opinion. Crowd really wanted RVD to win though, and thought he had the title only moments before his defeat.
Card was solid, as we expected. No real surprises, but sometimes that is a good thing. 2 title changes, Christian barely avoiding a 3rd.
Oh, and the only Heat match was Maven beating Stevie Richards. Victoria looked hot again, but unfortunately didn’t have that same outfit from last Monday. Let’s hope that wasn’t a one time thing.
