    Report by Stephen B.

    Here is my experience of the Sarnia Ont House Show. I arrived at 6:15 to find a line, not too big, but still a few people. I went out back, saw lots of people arrive, the only people that signed anything while I was there was Trish and Molly (Not fat in person). I got them to sign a Canadian Flag.

    Go inside, try to find my seats, which is horribly laid out, but not the worst I have been to.

    Lance Storm and Christian(Canada) vs. Valboski and Hardcore Holly(USA)
    -All I have to say is: Isn't Val from Toronto? Team Canada won the battle.

    Billy Kidman vs. Jamie Noble w/ Nidia
    Jamie Noble Wins this, it was for the Cruiserweight title. Nothing too exciting..

    Bubba and Spike vs. Benoit and Eddie Guerrero
    Benoit won with a submission. Bubba acting injured, not sure, but was a good seller.

    Edge vs. Test
    If Anyone was at the show, seen Edge hold up the Canadian Flag from the kid at ringside, IT WAS ME!!! I was in total shock. Edge won with his Edge-cution.

    Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Tajiri
    Rey won. Great performer.. Cant remember much about the match.

    Booker vs. Big Show
    Show won with a Chokeslam, if memory serves correctly. Booker is an awesome performer, Spin-a-roonie. Shook hands with me.

    Willy Regal and Chris Nowinski vs. Hardyz
    Hardyz won with the Twist of Fate/Swanton Combo.

    Molly Holly vs. Trish
    Wait a Minute. Stacy Keibler is here, but couldn't understand what she was saying. Molly Comes out, attacks Stacy. Trish runs out. Molly fakes a quad injury, quick match, Molly wins with Help from the Ropes.

    Jericho vs. Cena
    Cena won. It was a good match. Jericho is a great person to see.

    RVD w/ Tommy Dreamer vs. Brock w/ Paul E.
    RVD wins via DQ when Brock shoves the chair in the ref's stomach. Paul gets the Five star. Van Dam goes around the ring.. Sees my sign, reads it and shakes my hand for over a minute.

    Report by Kevin Campagna, Carlo Orlando and Ben Badenoch

    Christian/Lance Storm defeated Hardcore Holly and Val Venis. Val was really
    ripping into Canada, calling us Communists and insulting our system. Funny
    how he's from Toronto. Lance/Christian were very patriotic to Canada, with
    Lance making mention to how Sarnia is his hometown. Match went back and
    forth with I believe Val getting superkicked by Lance for the pin. They
    held up a team Canada jersey a fan in the front row brought.

    Jamie Noble beat Kidman. Can't remember the finish to this match because it
    was pretty good. Noble is an awesome wrestler, looked amazing. Nidia
    actually looked excellent in person. Crowd was really into this one for
    most of it.

    Guererro/Benoit defeated the Dudleyz. Hilarious moment in this match as
    someone close to me yelled out "Check Eddie's papers, he's an illegal
    immigrant" and Eddie yells back "I'm NO WET BACK!" The wrestlers really
    had some nice interaction with the crowd. The place was about half
    capacity, but it was still excellent. Match was almost all Bubba fighting
    while Eddie/Benoit carried an even load. Match ends with Spike tapping to
    the crossface.

    Big Show defeated Booker T. VERY short match here, maybe 6-7 minutes as
    Booker T hits the scissors kick+spinaroonie (damn camera gave out on me) but
    Show caught him with a chokeslam to win the match.

    Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Tajiri. EXCELLENT match, real show stealer as
    Tajiri got the tarantula, and missed his lethal kick. Rey rey looked pretty
    good despite his new bulkier appearance. He was still able to hit his
    finisher to win the match.

    Edge defeated Test. Test looked really good actually, but the crowd
    wouldn't get behind him for a second as Edge also put on a great showing, as
    he ended it with the Impaler.

    Hardyz defeated Regal/Nowinski. Everyone was pulling for the Hardyz here
    (except the three of us) as Regal/Nowinski really dominated the match, but
    Matt's Twist of Fate and Jeff's Swanton Bomb ended the match.

    John Cena defeated Chris Jericho. Jericho really ruled this match up until
    the ending when the ref was knocked out and Edge came in to spear Jericho
    for the pin. Cena looked fantastic when he put out the offense.

    Molly Holly defeated Trish. Stacy came out and almost showed us why she
    should have won the Golden Thong Award, however Molly stopped that. The
    match looked over quickly as Molly appeared to have injured her knee. Staff
    from the back came to help her out and as Trish held the ropes open, Molly
    kicked her. It was fabulous selling on the part of Molly. It was up there
    in Bret Hart's league believe it or not. The match had one Trish botch on a
    bulldog, but Molly won by pinning her with her feet on the ropes.

    Main Event: Rob Van Dam defeated Brock Lesnar by DQ. The crowd was RILED UP
    for this one as RVD got the biggest pop on the night. All the big moves
    were hit except the F-5. RVD celebrated at the end of the show and gave
    five to everyone around the protective barrier (ourselves included!)

    Overall, it was a fantastic night as RVD's One of a Kind kept blaring as
    everyone exited the building.

    Biggest Pops:
    1. RVD (by far)
    2. Edge
    3. Booker T
    4. Christian/Lance

    Biggest Heat:
    1. Regal/Nowinski (they still rule!)
    2. Val and Hardcore/Sparky
    3. Test
    4. Brock Lesnar

    If anyone ever questions if it is THAT much better in person...no doubt
    about it.
