    WCW Cruiserweight Title Match:
    Billy Kidman (Champion) def. Scotty 2 Hotty
    It was a bit of a slow opener because it took the two about 4 minutes of ring
    work to really pick up the match. Scotty hit the worm which resulted with
    Kidman putting his foot on the ropes. Kidman hit the Kid Krusher for a 2
    count. In the end, it was Kidman with a roll up from the corner with the
    assistance of the ropes.

    Perry Saturn def. Mark Jindrak
    This match was better then I expected. Terri came out and just went over
    what happened on Smackdown! last week. Saturn had some really funny moments
    in the match which included hugging a fan with a mop mask and wig on. Saturn
    hit the spinning fisherman suplex for the win. Then he hugged Terri, stole
    the mop, and ran to the back.

    WCW Tag Team Title Match:
    Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire (Champions) def. The Hardy Boyz
    This match was a little less then I expected. The Hardys carried most of the
    match, but not with their usual risky offense. They seemed very relaxed and
    layed back tonight. At the end, Jeff hit the Swanton Bomb and then Palumbo
    came in with the tag title and waffled him. O'Haire got the easy pin.

    WWF Light-Heavyweight Title Match:
    X-Pac (Champion) def. Justin Credible
    Justin got on the mic and said he left the WWF because he'd had enough of
    X-Pac. X-Pac came out to a mixed reaction and called himself "the fan's
    asshole" and said he would destroy Credible. Credible didn't pick up his
    offense to much tonight and he was defeated with the X-factor.

    Raven & Hugh Morrus def. "The One" Billy Gunn & Hardcore Holly
    Wow...this match had nothing going for it. It was mostly headlocks and
    wristlocks. Gunn and Holly even did a version of the hand shake double elbow
    drop from the Mankind and Al Snow days...yikes. Raven hit the Evenflow for
    the win.

    Kurt & Kane def. Booker T & Rhyno
    This match was the best of the night. There was alot of action and the crowd
    was really into it. Angle performed very well and so did Rhyno. Kane got
    gored, Angle got scissor kicked, Rhyno got chokeslammed, and Booker got
    Olympic Slammed by Kurt Angle for the pinfall.

    -Intermission-

    WWF Intercontinental Title Match:
    Lance Storm (Champion) def. Albert by Disqualification
    I think that Lance Storm makes a nice IC Champion and that hes alot better
    then Albert. I don't think the WWF has realized this though because in all
    of Storm's interviews they make him like some sort of robot. Albert peformed
    decent for how he usually does. And when he went to taunt he spun around and
    caught Nick Patrick in the eye. Patrick DQed Albert and Storm raced out of
    the ring. After the match, Patrick was Baldo Bombed to the fans delight.

    Six-Man Tag:
    Tazz, Mike Awesome & Rob Van Dam def. Chris Jericho, William Regal & Tajiri
    This match was very entertaining and fun for the fans. There was this huge
    asshole sitting right in front of me who was a real big RVD fan. Now I've
    seen huge wrestler fans, but this guy was unhealthy....it was sickening to
    listen to him. Anyway, Tajiri was in most of this match and he did alot of
    his crazy kicks. He slapped the toranchela on RVD which got a huge pop.
    Then Tommy Dreamer came from the crowd and attacked Tajiri which led to RVD
    hitting the 5 Star Frog Splash and the 3 count. After the match, Regal
    locked in the Regal Stretch on Tazz and Jericho slapped the Walls of Jericho
    on both RVD and Mike Awesome.

    3-Way Elimination Tag Team Match:
    Edge & Christian def. The Dudley Boyz and Kanyon & Stasiak
    This was an overall good match with the Alliance teaming up on Edge &
    Christan every now and then. E&C first took out Kanyon & Stasiak. Then
    Spike Dudley ran through the crowd and hit Buh Buh with a hockey stick which
    led to Edge's Buzzkiller DDT and the victory.

    Overall, it was a very good show and I was happy that they had alot of
    pyrotechnics. I hope they come back very soon!

    Biggest Pops:
    Kurt Angle
    Jericho
    The Hardy Boyz
    Kane

    Biggest Heat:
    Booker T
    The Dudley Boyz
    Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire




    Thanks to Steve Fox of http://www.StevesWrestling.com for sending this report in!

    I attended the house show at the First Union Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The
    arena was only about half full, which is kind of surprising since it was
    almost sold out for the last few shows.

    Here are the match results (in no particular order):

    Billy Kidman (c) vs. Scotty Too Hotty (WCW Cruiserweight Title)
    -Good opening match. About half way through the match Scotty hit The Worm,
    but only for a two count. Kidman also hit his finishing move (can't remember
    the name, not the Shooting Star Press), but Scotty kicked out. Kidman
    eventually won with his feet on the ropes.

    Perry Saturn vs. Mark Jindrak
    -Terri came down to the ring and said that she was going to try to persuade
    Perry to choose her over the mop one more time. She tried, but to no avail.
    Nobody seemed to know who Jindrak was, so I guess there weren't many WCW fans
    in the crowd. Saturn won the match with a Fisherman's Twisting Suplex (I
    guess that's what to call it??).

    X-Pac vs. Justin Credible (WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship)
    -Justin came down first and said that the reason he became part of WCW/ECW is
    because he was sick of being a part of the "nothing happening" X-Factor. He
    said he is returning to his hardcore roots and would beat X-Pac for the
    title. X-Pac said that the fans may think he's an asshole, but he's a WWF
    asshole. Short match with X-Pac winning with the X-Factor.

    Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire vs. The Hardy Boyz (WCW World Tag Team
    Championship)
    -The Hardy Boyz are definitely over in Wilkes-Barre. Decent match, but very
    sloppy work by Palumbo & O'Haire. Jeff hit the Swanton Bomb on O'Haire, but
    Palumbo hit him with one of the tag belts to give Palumbo & O'Haire the win.

    Albert vs. Lance Storm (WWF Intercontinental Championship)
    -Lance did his "If I could be serious for a minute..." routine, much to the
    dismay of the crowd. Good match, which kind of surprised me since I'm not a
    fan of Albert's work. Albert was punching Lance in the corner when he
    (Albert) inadvertantly bumped the referee, which caused a DQ. Albert then
    proceeded to give the referee (Nick Patrick) the Baldo Bomb for his trouble.

    Hardcore Holly & "The One" Billy Gunn vs. Raven & Hugh Morrus
    -This match nearly put me to sleep. Raven & Hugh Morrus picked up the win
    when Raven hit the Raven Effect on Hardcore Holly.

    Kurt Angle & Kane vs. Booker T & Rhyno
    -Angle and Booker were to supposed to wrestle in a singles match, but oh
    well. Angle & Kane win when Angle hits the Olympic Slam on Booker. After the
    match, Kane proceeded to give Rhyno a chokeslam.

    Rob Van Dam, Tazz, & Mike Awesome vs. Chris Jericho, William Regal, & Tajiri
    -Best match of the night. RVD was very impressive in this one. I hope the WWF
    notices that he is extremely talented and gives him a nice push. Team WWF
    wins the match when Tajiri kicks Tazz in the face. After the match, Jericho
    gave everyone the Walls of Jericho.

    Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Shawn Stasiak & Chris Kanyon
    -No opening mic work by Edge & Christian, which was kind of disappointing.
    Stasiak & Kanyon were eliminated first (I forget how). Edge & Christian
    eventually picked up the win when Christian hit the impaler on Bubba Ray.

    Overall, it was a good show.
