I just got back from a house show in Raleigh. I would have to say only about 1,500 people showed up (ROUGH GUESS) and you could tell the wrestlers did not put on their best efforts based on the crowd. Here are the results:

Jackie beat Crash with a rollup in about 4 minutes. Thanks Crash for doing the job AGAIN!

Brock Lesnar beat D`Lo Brown in a short match that did not have much wrestling in it.

Trish came out to a big pop, well as big as 1,500 people could produce, and beat Molly Holly, who I must ad, looks a little alluring with her whole "dark" look.

In a horrbile match, Bull Buchanon beat Ron H20 Waterman in about 5 minutes after Bull hit his big leg drop from the top rope. H20 did not look like anything special, only to add to his mystique.

Eddie Guerrero defeated RVD with a cheap, and I mean cheap foot on the ropes school boy roll up. There was only a few high spots in this match, and after the match, RVD hits the 5 Star Frog Splash on Eddie and walks out to the 2nd biggest Pop of the night.

The Hardy Boys beat Goldust and Shawn Stasiak in about 6 minutes of posturing and talking. The Hardy's being the home town boys did all their high spots while G-Dust and Stasiak were their punching bags.

Steven Richards defated Bubba Ray Dudley to retain the hardcore title after some cheap run in by Raven. After the match Raven got some "wood" by being power bombed through a table. Steven smiled when he heard my section scream bWo during the match.

William Regal defeated Spike Dudley to retain his Euro Title.

The Undertaker defeated Bradshaw in a typical big man match. Nick Patrick got knocked out 2 different times in this match, its amazing how fast he can recover. On a side note, there was a lady of about 60 years of age that was talking smack to the Undertaker who tried to stare her down in typical fashion. I am thinking this older woman was a former girlfriend and `Taker was too afraid to walk down memory lane again. Bradshaw gave her a big hug for her efforts.

In the main event Stone Cold defeated Ric Flair and the Big Show in a 10 foot high steel cage. The sad thing was that when the Big Show had to get outside the ropes, you could tell he was very uncomfortable standing inbetween the closed space of the cage and the edge of the mat. Flair was not booed but he was not cheered as the Raleigh fans did not really know how to react to the Nature Boy. In the end Booker T did a run in, and missed the Harlem Side Kick, knocking out Big Show. Two Stunners later (one to the Booker Man and one to Flair) it was over and SCSA locked all 3 of the now nWo in the cage.

Overall, it was a horrible show. The workers were being very careful not to get hurt with the PPV coming up and all but the thing that got to me the worst was the lack of crowd. I have been to ECW, WCW and some indy shows and this 1,500 was the worst crowd I ever saw. On one last side note, I did get the middle finger of shame by Earl when I yelled "You screwed Bret" right in his face. Ohhhh to be loved!
