Live fan notes from WWE RAW last night; off-air notes also Submitted by Stu Starrs on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 at 10:24 AM EST
Thanks to reader Northern Expo for the following:
I showed up in time to see Snitsky beat Rhyno. Rhino came off the ropes into a big boot. Then Snitsky gave him his finisher (which is a really lame finisher for such a big man) for the pin.
The only thing to speak highly of during the show was the Undertaker ring-post effect. The lights stayed on long enough for me to see what they were setting up for, but it was still a really cool effect.
Post show was a match between Batista & HHH. Batista invited Flair & H to come back to the ring for a 2 on 1 match, which they accepted. Shawn Micheals came out and said it wasn't a fair fight, so he mocked Flair to get a reaction and super-kicked him. Michaels called for a bell and a 1-on-1 preview of Batista vs. HHH. The match started slow. H gave Batista an impressive sidewalk slam at one point, later followed by the classic choke out. Batista fought back and came up with the powerbomb for the clean win.
Three matches on Raw before Wrestlemania was a terrible disappointment. Best of the night were the 6 man tag and the bonus match off-air; especially the moments with Flair.
"No physicality," says Bischoff....then why did both men change out of street clothes into wrestling gear?
Pop: Michaels Batista Taker/Orton segment (because of Taker music...sad but true)
Heat: Muhammad Hassan (announced from Detroit, MI, but the crowd still chants "USA" ???) HHH We weren't given enough opportunities to give heat to a third person.
