    Thanks to Shagmad71 for sending this report in!

    It was a pretty decent show with high points and low points. the arena was
    only about 75% full. Many of the bigger names werent there cuz of KOTR.

    Match 1: Spike vs. Tajiri w/ Regal
    Spike got a great response from the crowd. Kind of a slow match. Tajiri
    tried to get heat from the audience by posing and smiling a lot.
    Unfortunately there were no stiff kicks or tarantula. Spike didn't even get
    to use the acid drop...ahem...i mean "dudley-dog". Spike did the job by
    taking a low blow from regal and getting rolled up by Tajiri.

    Match 2: Rhyno vs. Raven
    Both came out to big pops. They each came to the ring with a good lookin
    chick. This match was pretty good with Raven gaining the upperhand early.
    Rhyno changed the momentum by Goring Raven while leaning on the turnbuckles.
    The match went back and forth until Rhyno pulled a Gore out of nowhere for
    the 3 count. My cousin did his Paul Heyman impression at this point by
    screaming "GORE! GORE!" like he just pissed his pants.

    Match 3: Matt Hardy w/ Lita vs. Regal w/ Tajiri (Foley is guest ref)
    Regal came out garnering probobly the biggest heat of the night. Matt and
    Lita then came out ready to get things goin. Now Mick foley makes his
    presence felt by coming to the ring. Mick did some talking about "The Rock n
    Sock Connection" and Val Venis' genitals for some reason. This is the point
    where my cousin says "The beer has now kicked in". Matt picked up the win in
    a match that lasted waaaaaay too long. The match was won after Lita hit a
    hurricanrana on Regal. Matt then followed with the twist of fate. When the
    match was done, Regal and Tajiri attacked Foley, but were both caught with
    the mandible claw. Overall, decent match.

    Match 4: Jaqualine and Ivory vs. Molly and Lita
    Slow match, but it was fun to gawk at Lita and Molly. they both look great
    in person. Ivory won the match for her team with a DDT on Molly. When the
    match was over, Lita busted out a Twist of Fate on Ivory followed up with a
    Moonsault.

    Match 5: (Table Match) Dudleys vs. Hollys
    This was the funniest match for me. Not because of the wrestling, but
    because of the fans. It has become quite obvious on Raw and Smackdown that
    the Dudleys are making a heel turn. Well the audience gave them a HUGE pop
    when they came out and Boo'd the Hollys to no end. Now here comes the fun
    part. Bubba grabs the mic and says "Can we please hurry it up and get this
    match over with so we can get out of this miserable town?" Now the Dudleys
    are getting Boo'd and the Holly's are gettin cheered. It was hilarious to
    hear the fans boo guys that they were cheering for 30 seconds earlier. Well
    anyway, the match was goin pretty well until Bubba screwed up a Leapfrog and
    came down on Crash's head. Both seemed like they coulda been hurt, but the
    match went on. The Holly's gain the upperhand and Hardcore says "Crash! Get
    the tables!". Big pop. Eventually the Dudleys catch Crash with a 3-D through
    the table for the win. My personal favorite match.
    (Intermission)
    Match 6: "The One" Billy Gunn vs. Saturn (No Terri!!!!)
    Billy Gunn came to the ring in jean shorts and sneakers while Saturn,
    unfortunately, came without Terri. Very quick match (thank god). Nothing
    against Saturn, but lets face it, Billy Gunn isn't the most exciting to watch.
    Saturn won with his finisher. That suplex that looks like the "perfectplex".

    Match 7: Albert vs. Test (Hardcore match)
    A garbage can lid was used. Woohoo. Test picked up the win with a big boot
    onto a grabage can lid in Alberts face (which barely made contact).
    Albert screwed up a Baldo Bomb on Test afterwards, but set it back up and hit
    it.

    Match 8: Justin Credible vs. Jeff Hardy
    Both guys were into the match. A pretty funny spot in the match was when
    Jeff started punching Justin Credible, Justin got dizzy and Jeff "blew" on
    him which led to Justin falling over. Kinda cheesy, but funny nonetheless.
    Anyway, Jeff won with a Swanton Bomb. My cousin (now fully intoxicated)
    yelled "Aldo Montoya is my favorite wrestler!" numerous times throughout the
    match. Fun stuff.

    Match 9:Cage Match Big Show vs. Kane
    Not all that exciting. Both guys were very slow and there was only 1
    chokeslam. Kane slipped out of the cage slowly by kicking of the Big Show
    off of him. A pretty weak main event in my opinion, but it was kinda kool
    seeing how huge these guys actually were. Messing with the Big Show was kind
    od funny too. Once again, the drunk cousin had something else to say, "You
    suck Big Show!". his night of wrestler bashing was over, but it was a fun
    night. Good show overall, considering the guys they had available.

    1. Foley
    2. Spike
    3. The Dudleys
    4. Lita
