Venue: The Landon Arena , Toledo, Ohio
World Heavyweight Title Match Triple H vs. Kane
Earl Hebner enters to a nice cheer. The Game enters to a mix of
boos and cheers. He called Toledo a dump and wanted the crowd to
go back to their mobile homes after he finishes off Kane.
Kane enters to nice pop and they brawl outside for 5 min before
bell rings. Nice match and Kane knocks out Hebner which allows
HHH to low blow Kane, Kane uses chair to take out the game and is
DQed. Jindrak, Stromboli, Credible, Richards,Reddogg enter and
Kane cleans them all out.
Postmatch...Kane gives everyone a choke slam, must've been like
7-8 in a row. He leaves to a nice pop!( Mike Sopher wrestlingobserver.com

Venue: The Kansas Colisuem , Witchita, Kansas
World Heavyweight Title Match Triple H vs. Kane
Analysis/Highlights: Crowd was full to about halfway up the arena
tonight. Consistent with the previous house show they held in
Wichita. Good crowd reactions to everything. Biggest pops were
for RVD, Triple H, and Kane.
Hebner comes out for the World Heavyweight Title match to a good
pop.
Triple H did his water shtick (he tossed the bottle about four
rows behind us) then got on the mic to say how he doesn't need
our applause. Big boo. Then he said that it's no surprise that
Wichita likes Kane because most of the women here look dead
anyway. Bigger boo. He makes obligatory trailer-park comment.
Bigger boo.
Kane comes out and the battle starts out in the entrance way. The
fight their way back up to the path to the curtain for a while,
then work their way back to the ring. Triple H throws Kane in,
climbs in, gets him in a pin position, then the bell rings to
START the match, and Hebner counts two before Kane gets up. Good
work by these two. Some vicious bumps with the guardrails by both
parties.
At one point, Hebner tries to get Kane to let HHH out of the
corner. Kane shoves him down (typical Hebner bump). Another ref
comes out and starts yelling at Kane about shoving refs. He gets
shoved through the ropes and onto the floor. A third ref comes
out and Kane just looks at him and sends him scampering out of
the ring.
Eventually, HHH throws a chair into the ring, and eventually,
Kane uses it on him and gets DQ'd. He works over HHH some more
until the refs come in and gang up on him. He throws the refs off
of him, and a bunch of the nights earlier jobbers come out to
help HHH. He chokeslams all of them except for Batista, who
pulled HHH out of the ring and helped him backstage. As the refs,
Redd Dogg, and Steven Richards were limping off together,
Richards was visibly cracking up. The last one to get
chokeslammed was Jericho, who ran in wearing the [rubber] mask
[not Kane's] that Jeff had on earlier.
All said, it topped all our expectations for a house show. There
was significantly more mic time than the last house show, but not
so much that it became tedious. The performers went out of their
way not just to wrestle well, but to make things fun and funny
for the crowd. We were thoroughly impressed with this house show.
Grade: A-
Match results: Jindrak/Stamboli over Richards/Credible, Dreamer
over Rico, Batista over Redd Dogg, Jericho/Christian over
Bubba/J. Hardy, RVD over Test, Molly/Victoria over Trish/Jackie,
D'Lo over Raven, Storm/Regal over Spike/Hurricane, HHH over Kane,
Kane over refs, Credible, Richards, Stamboli, Jindrak, and
Jericho. ( Cory and Veronica Laflin)
· WWE (RAW

Venue: The Landon Arena , Topeka, Kansas
World Heavyweight Title Match Triple H vs. Kane
Probably was my personal favorite match of the evening. Most
people seemed surprised that it was on so early in the card. HHH
was hilarious in running down Kansas. He said something to the
effects of, "I can't believe they made me wrestle in
th.....where the hell are we at again? TOPEKA? I can't believe
they tell me I have to wrestle in this crappy little dump"
(or something like that). He then goes on to mention that Kane
would probably enjoy the women of Topeka as they all look dead to
him.
Kane came out and they fought on the floor for awhile before
making their way over to the cheap seats for about five minutes
or so (it seemed long anyways). They eventually made their way to
the ring and the match finally officially started.
The finish came after HHH brought a chair into the ring. Kane was
disqualified after attacking several officials before using the
chair on HHH. Kane even got a tombstone on him. Several wrestlers
(Richards, Justin Credible, Jindrak, Red Dogg and Johnny the
Bull) ran in an attempt to restrain Kane from doing any more
damage to HHH. Kane made short work of them all, before chasing
HHH to the back.
All in all it was a fun little card and well worth the money.
Plenty of star power, hot chicks and hard work all around makes
this an easy thumbs up. It probably didn't hurt that we had great
seats too. ( Matt Jackson wrestlingobserver.com

Venue: The Four States Fairgrounds, Texarkana, Arkansas
Test vs. Kane
Test's new shorts nearly killed my sister, and Kane got the
second-biggest pop of the night. This was probably the worst
executed match of the night, but keep in mind it was only due to
TWO blown spots, which the majority of the audience probably
didn't even seen unless they were right there on the floor. Kane
won with the Tombstone, of all things. ( Mysty Glyttyr,

Venue : HSBC Arena, Buffalo, New York
Interpromotional Intercontinental Championship Kane vs.
Kurt Angle
Match of the night. Before the match Fink announced Stephanie
McMahon, to the surprise of nearly everybody! Stephanie
accompanied Kurt to the ring playing the heel, saying Raw sucked
and claiming Kurt Angle would take the Intercontinental
Championship back to SmackDown!. Kurt really busted his butt, and
for that matter so did Kane. Kurt broke out his top rope overhead
belly to belly suplex and put on the best performance of the
night. Fans popped huge for Kane attempting to choke slam
Stephanie. Angle attacked Kane befor ehe could do the deed, and
Kane worked to win clean in the middle via his chokeslam. (rajahwwf.com)

Interpromotional Intercontinental Championship Kane vs.

Say what you will about Angle's favor with the crowd; the guy
never has a bad match. He and Kane put on a great match. Kane of
course won. No mention to Murder angle. (rajahwwf.com)
Kane defended the IC Title successfully against Kurt Angle -
Before the match Angle got on the mic and insulted the crowd and
the city of Rochester. Kane got a big pop, and this was a pretty
good match. Angle looked good. Ended on a Kane choke slam and
pin. (wrestingobserver.com)

Intercontinental Championship Kane vs. Test
Hey guys, just got back from the Utica house show. 5 years since
the last time they were here. Show was ok, not great but what can
you do... it's RAW. First thing when I got there was meeting Kane
who was signing autographs. I said to him that he ruled but the
writing sucked. He just kinda laughed and smirked but I know he
agrees. We got to our seats and got the "Fink shpiel"
about lazer pens, etc...
Intercontinental title match, Kane successfully defended his
"Intercontinental Championship" over Test, best match
of the night, imo, Kane wins after a ton of false finishes with
the Tombstone. Test's big boot... long 2 count, Kane chokeslam,
long 2 count... The finish comes with a Tombstone!! Awesome! Kane
received a nice ovation despite being accused of murder just four
nights earlier. Glad to have seen an IC title match while I still
can too. (J Sig, 1wrestling.com)

Venue : Bank of America Centre, Boise , Idaho
Tag Team Championship Kane & Hurricane vs. Rosey
& Jamal
Like Jim Ross said, this show was almost a sellout, not very many
open seats, and a lot of people standing around as well, HHH
remarked that there was 6,000 strong, which is a lot for that
small of an arena!!!! Howard Finkel was awesome as the announcer,
and I didn't expect him to be the announcer. Anyway, The official
card from the website was very off!!!!!
Great match, back and forth throughout Kane was out of the match
for most of it!!!!! But in the end they went for the double
chokeslam to which Kane hit and Jamal got out of!!!! At one point
Rico ran around and hit Kane, and ran back and started Hugging
Rosey, which was hilarious. Kane hit his big off the top rope
spot which got a huge crowd response. Then Kane threw Hurricane
off the top rope onto him, very good team work!!!!! They won the
match after Rico accidently hit Rosey with a super kick and Kane
chokeslammed Jamal. After the match Hurricane chokeslammed Rico
to a huge pop!!!! Hurricane was WAY over!!!! (Matt Hartgrave,
