Thanks to BULLS23483 for sending this report in! 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. Biggest Pops 1.) Chris Jericho 2.) Kurt Angle 3.) Edge & Christian 4.) The Hardy Boyz 5.) Scotty Too Hotty Most Heat 1.) Booker T 2.) Palumbo & O'Haire 3.) Justin Credible http://www.StevesWrestling.com Thanks to Thom for sending this report in!

EDGE AND CHRISTIAN RVD BIGGEST HEAT BOOKER T LANCE STORM JUSTIN CREDIBLE (?!?!?!?!) BILLY KIDMAN KANYON AND SHAWN STASIAK Overall it was a good show to go too, I had front row tickets. The Arena was only about 1/2 full which is odd.
