I went to the House Show last night at the Nassau Coliseum and it was AWESOME. Not only were the matches great, but a special announcement was made by Ric Flair that only made the crowd even crazier. All I have to say is that the Raw Roster did a great job last night and I can't wait until they come here again.
Match 1: Six Man Tag Match: The Big Show/Crash/D-Lo Brown vs. Tommy Dreamer/Steven Richards/Justin Credible - Without a doubt, the Big Show was the one who got the biggest reaction in this match. Everyone just went crazy for him. There were a lot of fun spots in here, including an attempted climb to the top rope by the Big Show which, unfortunately, didn't happen. At the end, the Big Show hit a double chokeslam on Tommy Dreamer and Justin Credible, while Crash and D-Lo hit a double chokeslam on Steven Richards. Great ending to a pretty good match Winners: The Big Show/Crash/D-Lo Brown
Match 2: European Championship: Spike Dudley vs. William Regal: Wow. The people HATED WIlliam Regal last night. He got one of the loudest boos of the evening. This match was okay, but like their match on Raw, it was kind of slow. At the end, Spike threw William Regal into the corner and kept shoving his shoulder into Regal's stomach. As Regal backed out of the corner, Spike rolled him up and got a three count. After the match, Regal was furious and he began stomping on Spike. He picked him up and gave him a powerbomb, followed by a Regal Stretch. He then put the European Title on Spike's face and gave him a huge kneedrop. As he left, the fans booed even louder and Spike got an ovation as he was helped to the back. Winner: Spike Dudley
Match 3: Trish Stratus & Jacqueline vs. Jazz & Molly Holly: I hate to say it, but this match actually had better wrestling than Regal/Spike. The people loved Trish and Jackie and popped when a tag was made to either one of them. Molly really got no reaction, but Jazz got a couple of boos from the crowd. Pretty good action and it ended when Molly rolled up Trish's tights for the three count. As Jazz and Molly left the ring, Trish and Jackie began to yell at each other. Yet, Trish and Jackie hugged and held each other's hand. Though there were a few "We Want Puppies." chants, the crowd liked it as a whole. Winner: Jazz & Molly Holly
Match 4: Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar: Man, oh man, Brock is HUGE. When they got into the ring, everyone began chanting "You Suck." at Brock and Paul. Heyman got on the mic and began yelling at the people, asking how they could say someone sucks when they're chanting it in a place where the Islanders play. Of course, this got major heat. The match itself was pretty good, if not a little slow. Jeff Hardy eventually hit a Swanton Bomb but Brock kicked out. People went crazy for that. Eventually, Brock hit that spinning DVD but Heyman told him to keep attacking. Brock got up and hit the Triple Powerbomb and for some reason, everyone was cheering. The referee stopped the match and said Jeff couldn't continue and awarded the match to Brock. Matt Hardy ran down into the ring to help Jeff, making sure to keep an eye on Brock. For some reason, he was holding his ribs, but I'm not sure why. Brock and Heyman left to an ovation, when they came to the ring in boos. I dunno either. Winner: Brock Lesnar
Match 5: Hardcore Championship: Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Goldust: Huge pop for Bubba. The people loved him. Before the match, he announced that, in his hometown, he would make this match a Long Island Streetfight. Usual hardcore match with a few good spots. One of them was Bubba Ray juggling a few oranges above his head and then throwing one and Goldust's nuts. After getting the table, he went into the ring but Goldust gave him a bulldog. He covered him and got the three count. After that, Raven ran down to the ring, turned Goldust around, and gave him an Evenflow DDT for another three count. By this time, Bibba was up, turned Raven around, and gave him a powerbomb through the table. He got the three count and the Hardcore title again. As he left, he climbed up on the empty seats on the entranceway and began dancing. Great pop for that. Winner(s): Goldust.......then Raven........and then Bubba Ray Dudley again
Match 6: Intercontinental Title: Rob Van Dam vs. Booker T - When RVD came out, he got one of the biggest pops of the night. Almost everyone in the arena did the R-V-D thumb taunt when he did. Great match between the two, just like their Raw match a few weeks ago. Plus all the good signature moves were in here. Rolling Thunder, the Spinaroonie ( which everyone popped huge for ), RVD's flying kick off of the to rope, and eventually the FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH. He soared more than half-way across the ring to get to Booker T ! Without a doubt, the best match of the night. Winner: Rob Van Dam
:::INTERMISSION::: On the TV screens, played a few Backlash commercials, a segment with the Rock on the Scorpion King, and a segment with Van Dam on a music video
Match 7: Matt Hardy w/ Lita vs. Sean Stasiak w/Mr. Perfect - Yeah, this match was just as bad as it sounded. Matt kept holding onto his ribs for the entire match, while Sean got the offensive with a whole bunch of punches that no one really cared about. Most people were still buying stuff at the merchandise stands so there was really no one left to even care about the match. Match ended when Matt rolled up Sean, who was arguing with Lita. After the match, Mr. Perfect and Sean Stasiak left the ring together to a bunch of boos. Winner: Matt Hardy
Interview Segment with Ric Flair - Now, this was what the people loved. Up until this point, RVD had gotten the largest pop. But Flair definitely surpassed him. The people went crazy for him as he got in the ring. He talked about the Raw Brand and how great it is to be in Long Island, with a whole bunch of Woos mixed in. Then, he said he had a special announcement. On Sunday, August 25th, WWF Summerslam will be coming to the NASSAU COLISEUM.! Everyone went nuts for this, but William Regal came out a huge anount of heat. He asked Flair why he would bring Summerslam to such a place like Long Island, and when people began chanting a**hole, he said "I can't be an asshole. I'm not American." LOL. Even I laughed at that. After yelling at Flair with a few more words, Regal slapped him right in the face. Flair began unloading with chops on Regal, then knocked him down. Is it.....YES. THE FIGURE FOUR. Everyone went crazy for the Figure Four, and Flair got a HUGE ovation when he left. SUMMERSLAM IS COMING TO THE NASSAU COLISEUM.
Match 8: Bradshaw vs. Scott Hall w/ X-Pac: Apparently, I was the only one in the arena cheering for Scott Hall and X-Pac. Everyone was booing them pretty harshly, but I made sure to cheer. As for Bradshaw, he got a pretty good response, with a couple of boos, including myself. Match was allright, if not a little slow. X-Pac got a huge "X-Pac Sucks." chant and eventually got the Clothesline from Hell. At the end of the match, X-Pac got on Bradshaw's nerves so much that Bradshaw placed X-Pac on the top rope and began to climb up too. But while he was on the second rope, Hall hooked him and it was an OUTSIDER'S EDGE. 1....2....3......and I was the only one cheering. Winner: Scott Hall
Match 9: Main Event: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker - Without a doubt, the Undertaker got a huge amount of cheers from the crowd. But I don't think ANYTHING came close to Stone Cold. Everyone went nuts when he came out and posed at the corners. Match began with a few stalls. People in the front row began chanting "You Screwed Bret." at Earl Hebner and he gave them the crotch chop.! Then they kept putting up the middle finger at Austin and he gave it right back at them.! Then he gave the middle finger to Taker and the match started. The match was great overall with the fans poppin for almost every move. And, of course, you have to know that there were a lot of "WHAT !" chants which I loved doing, which is strange since I hate watching it on TV. Whatever. Eventually, Stone Cold went for a Stunner but Taker pushed him into Earl. Stone Cold hit the Stunner anyway but there was no ref. Undertaker went to get a chair and hit Austin with it. He covers.....1......2....KICKOUT. The fans went nuts as Taker yelled at Earl. Stone Cold picked up the chair and tried to hit Taker but Earl stopped him. As them 2 yelled at each other, Taker gave a big boot to Austin through the chair. He covered and Earl gave the three count, even though Stone Cold had his foot on the bottom rope. The people were booing until......
WOOOOO. Ric Flair came out and ordered Earl Hebner to restart the match since Austin had his foot on the bottom rope. Taker, angry, punched the referee out. Taker went to hit Austin but got a low blow. And STUNNER. Austin covered and Ric Flair jumped into the ring. 1....2.....3. AUSTIN WINS. The fans went crazy as Austin posed in the corners and began drinking beer with Earl. Eventually, Taker got up and began screaming at Earl. Earl handed him a beer and when Taker took a sip, Austin gave him another Stunner. Austin posed for around 10 minutes and then left with everyone still cheering. Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin
All I have to say is that last night was one of the greatest WWF shows I ever went to. And SummerSlam is coming to the Nassau Coliseum.!! I'll DEFINITELY be there.! Without a doubt, the show gets an A, and I can't wait until August 25th.
