WCW.com has an article up on Chris Jericho where he shoots on Eric Bischoff. Here is a snippet from the article: 1Wrestling.com is reporting that Road Warrior Hawk suffered a concussion and a hematoma of his left leg. Apparently, Hawk was supposed to make some appearances in Alaska over the weekend but could not be there due to the injuries which are thought to have occured in Chicago. Thanks to Adam Wexler for sending this report in! After the PPV ended Vince McMahon asked to cut Austin's music and held Angle's arm up as Angle's music played. Then, when Angle left, Vince tried to raise RVD's hand but RVD pulled it away, gave Vince the finger and did the R-V-D fingerpoint and left to his music. That was pretty much the end. Biggest Live Pops 1. Rock 2. Jericho (There was dueling chants all through the match for these two) 3. RVD 4. Hardyz (Probably because it was the first match) I would give honorable mention to the Undertaker but everyone in my section kept making fun of him and asking him to sell, so I figured he doesn't deserve the nod. Biggest Heat 1. Austin 2. Booker T 3. Test 4. Dudleyz Thanks to Brandon Boyd for sending this report in! I was in attendance last night at the No Mercy Pay Per View, and it was solid enough. I know that most WWF television events have not been sold out, but the Savvis Center was packed top to bottom. St. Louis has a great wrestling history, and it was filled more than most St. Louis Blues games are. Anyway, you have the results, I just wanted to chime in on the crowd reaction each match. By the way, you will never see more mullets than a St. Louis WWF event. Let's get started! Sunday Night Heat Kanyon/Hugh Morris vs. APA Huge pop for the APA. The sad thing is everybody at the Savvis knew who Kanyon was, but some people had no idea who Hugh Morris was, but then again, why should they? Kanyon sold each move like a champion. Why he is not getting a push is beyond me. Billy Kidman vs. Scotty Too Boring There were a surprisingly good amount of pops for Kidman. After the match, the crowd pretty much ate up the worm. I have to admit, I got into it also, which drew some major heat from my friends. NO MERCY What a pop for the copyright warning shown before each pay per view. The crowd went nuts! WWF beginning, No Mercy introduction, pyros, we're off! Hardy Boyz w/Lita vs. Hurricane, Lance Storm w/Mighty Molly & Ivory Am I the only person that is waiting for Storm to bust out with his, "Calgary..........Alberta, Canada". Enough independent thoughts. Lita was huge in the STL, but she's pretty much cool everywhere she goes. The crowd LOVED Hurricane. What a character he is. Good opening match to get the crowd going. Kane vs. Test...........yeah right, I went to the bathroom after I saw Kane's pyro. After I got back, me and my friends tried to get a "Welcome Home" chant going for Kane, but it didn't work. He's from Bowling Green, Missouri, not too far away from St. Louis. Stacy vs. Torrie What? Are you kidding me? We're talking Stacy and Torrie in lingerie! The men were on the edge of their seats hoping for something to pop out. Edge vs. Christian (Ladder Match) What a show these two put on. The crowd loved it. A couple of "Holy Shit" chants broke out, and with good reason too. When the two were on the ladders and fell off onto the floor, the crowd went nuts. It looks a lot more painful in person than it does on television. Both guys were applauded after the match. Independent thought #2 Does anybody still care about Spike Dudley? Dudley Boyz vs. Tajiri & Big Slow The crowd wasn't into the match that much. Tajiri was over, but surprisingly not as much as the Big Slow. What in the hell is this city thinking? Booker T vs. Undertaker Loudest pop of the night so far went to the Undertaker. The crowd was really into this match. Everybody wanted to see the Last Ride, and we weren't disappointed. Booker got a great response from the Spinaroni also. Rock vs. Jericho Match of the night, hands down. The crowd was all over this one. Jericho came out to a huge pop, the Rock to an even better one. There were some "Rocky sucks" chants, but not as many as I thought there would be. I actually had some people in my section with a "Jericho sucks" chant. Mixed crowd on this one. The crowd was confused when Stephanie came down, but we were happy to see those jugs in person. We smelled a Jericho heel turn the whole way, but we got nothing. Independent thought #3 It was nice to sit with knowledgeable wrestling fans that cheer a wrestler because he's a face and not because of the country they are from (take notes Canada!). Kurt Angle vs. RVD vs. Stone Cold When "Medal" came on, the arena went nuts. Kurt Angle is the f---ing man! RVD had a good reception too. When he did his shoulder thing, I did it also and I looked around the arena. About 80% of the people did it as well. It was quite a sight. Austin got some pops when he came out because....well....come on! It's Stone Cold Steve Austin in person. Sure he's a heel, but everybody loves him! Anyway, when he came down the ramp, he stopped to give the fans some shit. That got him some heat. Match went along rather well. As soon as Vinny Mac came down, the crowd was into him, but again, we all smelled a swerve in favor of Stone Cold. When Shane O'Mac came down, we were all over him. When Vinny attacked Shane, we went nutty. After Stone Cold pinned RVD, we left to beat the traffic. Good time had by all! Top 5 heat 1. Edge ripping on St. Louis 2. Shane McMahon 3. Stephanie McMahon 4. Stone Cold Steve Austin 5. Paul Heyman Top 5 pops 1. Kurt Angel 2. Undertaker 3. The Rock 4. Chris Jericho 5. Kane (especially after beating the crap out of Nick Patrick) WWF.com Raw Preview No Mercy was truly a night to remember, and tonight on RAW -- at 9/8 CT on TNN, live from Kansas City -- you can experience all the fallout from that epic event!
