Report by Jeff Wilen

The matches were the exact same from the 3-27 WWF house show from Gainesville, Fla.

I'll report the winners, with the finishers. There were a few slight variations. Like I said, everything is the same from the 3-27 Gainesville report, even down to Mr. Perfect spitting his gum out on the mat and Perry Saturn picking it up and putting it in his mouth. If you want details, call up the Gainesville report.

Match 1: Tajiri pins Billy Kidman with a kick to the head. The kicks were brutal-looking, and Kidman looked legit hurt, but I don't think he was. Scotty 2 Hotty was also in this match, and danced with Tajiri and Torrie Wilson afterwards.

Match 2: Trish Stratus pins Ivory with her bulldog finisher.

Match 3: Perry Saturn and Hugh Morrus vs. Mr. Perfect and Shawn Stasiak: During this match, Perry Saturn rolled out of the ring and was holding his leg. A few referees and officials came over to him from the lockerroom area to check on him. He looked like he pulled something, maybe even worse. I'm sure the Ross Report will address it if it's serious. Perry did continue working the match, executing a nice jump off the top rope dropkick and a top rope knee. Hugh got the pin on Stasiak for the win.

Match 4: Lance Storm pins Randy Orton. Orton went to the top and nailed a crossbody block, but the momentum carried him over and Storm rolled onto him for the pin.

Match 5: Albert vs. Goldust. Albert botched an airplane spin on Goldust. Albert looked like he was unable to lift the heavier Goldust. However, he did recover and execute an airplane spin. A chokeslam type-powerbomb game Albert the pin on Goldust.

Match 6: Undertaker vs. Ric Flair. Undertaker strolled to the back, but came back out. Great match. Crimson mask again on Flair's face. Flair hits Undertaker with two chair shots, and gets the pin, with his feet on the rope.

Intermission

Match 7: Test vs. the Big Valbowski. Test executed a brutal boot to Val's face, but Val kicked out. It was the move of the night. Money shot by Val, who pins Test.

Match 8: Edge vs. Chris Jericho. Jericho calls Jacksonville, Gainesville by accident. Woops. Match goes into crowd, unlike Wednesday! They pass right by me in the third row, beating the crap out of each other while I'm popping like crazy. Lots of interaction between the crowd and both wrestlers. After a face-first into the mat, Jericho pins Edge with his feet on the rope for leverage.

Match 9: Kurt Angle vs. Kane. Same finish as Wednesday, with a big boot by Kane. Angle gets back up and pushes the referee. The referee pushes Angle back, right into Kane, tombstone this time, 1-2-3, Kane wins and leaves. Angle gets on the mic, and calls Kane back out. He wishes Kane the "best of luck, no hard feelings" with the WWF split coming up (after the draft). They shake hands. Angle attacks Kane as he's leaving. Chokeslam on Angle by Kane. Jericho rushes into the ring! Chokeslam on Jericho by Kane! Jericho exits. Kane says, "Hey Kurt, no hard feelings, OK?" Crowd pops! Angle questions the fans at ringside, getting heat from kids and others.

Top pops:
1. Edge
2. Kane
3. Orton

Most heat:
1. Jericho
2. Angle
3. Undertaker

Final thoughts: The Jacksonville mic system sucks. The crowd was slightly better than Wednesday's Gainesville crowd, but by no more than a few 1,000, if that. The crowd was also louder, but the idiots were chanting "boring" much too frequently. I doubt the WWF will come back after that. The matches, which were the same as Wednesday, were much better-worked with few missed spots. Here's hoping my pictures come out nicely. Torrie looked "too sweet" as usual.
