tonight at the fleet center the arena was about half to 2/3 full .. pretty good size for a house show..
Match 1.
Rhyno Vs. Test
Typical Big Guy match.. Test got a nice welcome back pop until he was picking on a young fan in the front row.. then Rhyno comes out to a very impressive pop.. back and forth Test looked rather impressive in this bout .. but Rhyno picked up the win with the gore..
Winner - Rhyno
at the end of the match Test assaulted Rhyno hitting him with a Big Boot.. then out of no where A-Train comes out fighting back and forth until he hits Test with a Baldo Bomb.. A-Train then helped rhyno up only to clothesline him.. rhyno recovered shortly goring A-train to a huge pop... RHYNO was over in Boston ... the crowd was really into rhyno...
** 1/2
Match 2..
WWE Tag Team Titles
Team Omega (Matt Hardy And The Hurricane) vs. La Resistance (tag champs)
The crowd loved The Hurricane and V-1 got a decent pop too.. La Resistance got huge heat.. Grenier worked the mic until Hurricane ran around the ring wearing the flag as a cape to a huge pop... this was an 80's Style Tag Match.. Very Entertaining.. the finish was matt getting hit with the Quebec flag and Conway rolling him up..
Winners - La Resistance
At the end of the match .. Matt sold the shot .. Hurricane helped him up as they raised Old Glory in the air..
Match 3.
I.C Title Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin
Randy Orton came out first getting a small pop mostly from the women in the audience and was hitting on some blonde ringside.. Shelton came out to a good pop .. In the Begining Orton was fooling around .. Shelton And Orton Finnally locked up after a few counters and Benjamin mocking him a bit Orton took control.. After a Brief Offensive Flurry ..Benjamin misses the STINGER Splash.. Orton rolls him up with his feet on the ropes..
Winner - Randy Orton....
The Coach comes out to introduce Eric Bischoff... everyone booed him out of the arena except for me and my cousin Eric nodded and pointed at as with when we bowed.. While Bischoff was talking Eugene came out to a huge pop... this guy is sooo over its not funny.. he went right into the ring and hugged Bischoff.. Bischoff went off on regal until regal grabbed bischoff by the throat yelling at him.. The Coach tried to break it up only to receive the airplane spin from eugene.. then uncle eric received the same treatment... Cade quickly ran out to help the coach setting up a match Cade and The Coach vs. Eugene and a ????,,, Val Venis came out to be Eugene's partner...
Match #4
Eugene And Val Venis vs. Garrison Cade And The Coach...
This match was hilarious the crowd was into .. Eugene and Cade started off with some chain wrestling.. Val Venis came in doing his irish whip then the knees.. the russian leg sweep the rick rude pose and punches.. he then tagged in Eugene who did the same thing as Val it had to be the funniest thing i ever seen in wrestling it was priceless... eugene took a small beating after .. he tags in val venis who hits the hits the money shot on the coach .. tags eugene in .. Eugene hits coach with the money shot and makes his way to the pay window....
Winners - Eugene and Val Venis..
After The Match Eugene gave a little girl Vals Towel and hugged a Special Needs kid in the crowd.. very nice moment for the both of them.. After Eugene leaves the T-shirt guy comes out ..
Match #5
Edge vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair
Edge came out to a decent pop.. he put on some pounds during his time off .. he's huge.. Ric Flair comes out .. everytime i watch him wrestle now it makes me believe he is killing his own legacy and its a shame... but he sure knows how to draw heat.. he goes on the mic bashing the Redsox and Pedro.. which even made me boo Flair... no one messes with the Sox.. Edge then grabbed the mic telling Flair he would kick his ass like the patriots did to the carolina panthers.. flair flipped and then match went under way.. this was a Washroom and Snack Break Match .. i got back just intime to see Edge spears flair to get the nod..
Winner- Edge
10 min Intermission
Match #6
Chris Jericho vs. Tyson " The Master Of Screw Ups" Tomko w/ Trish Stratus..
My god is trish hott in person... tomko comes out to no reaction until trish grabbed the mic calling Boston a piss poor town... but thats coming from a chick from canada so that don't really offend me much.. Chris Jericho came out to a huge pop... Jericho did everything in his power to make Tomko look good.. but he failed.. Tomko is still very green and should find his way back to OVW he is a waste of a push.. they should have Test be christians problem solver it would have made more sense... Jericho wins with The Walls Of Jericho
Winner- Chris Jericho
Match #7
Victoria And Lita vs. Gail Kim And Molly "Sinead O'Connor" Holly
Victoria came out to her old music .. i hope she keeps it because the Jenny From The Block Dance Routine Sucks.. Lita came out... molly and gail came out together... typical diva match.. lita pulls off mollys wig and molly runs to the back... Lita then gives Molly a very beautiful DDT and gets the nod--
Winners - Lita and Victoria
After the match lita and victoria celebrated until kane came out .. he claimed believe or not he isn't out here for lita .. she then ran out of the ring like a bat out of hell.. okay that storyline needs to be done with .. all it was for was to help matt and lita reunite .. they did now drop it ...
Match #8 Main Event
World Title Match
Chris Benoit (c) vs. Triple H vs. Kane
kane was in the ring .. then "The Spotlight Hog" Triple H enters the ring.. he talks about how he is going to win the world title tonight.. blah blah you get enough mic time on raw we dont want to hear you on a house show... chris benoit comes out to the biggest pop by far... Boston loved Benoit ... i should know because 500-600 people lined up in everett mass for his autograph.. decent match .. kane doesnt take germans well... match ended when hhh pedigreed kane .. then benoit counters a pedigree giving him the crossface .. making triple h tap out...
