Scott Hudson and Stan Lane put over the fact that we'll be seeing Kid Kash take on Steve Corino.
Rating: F

Michael Modest defeated Hayabusa in 6:38 by pinfall following interference from both Steve Corino and Christopher Daniels, the Down boys strike again.
Rating: E

Hayabusa makes his way to the podium and blasts the actions of Steve Corino and Christopher Daniels in broken English. He promises “revenge of the Samurai” and then staggers to the back.
Rating: F+

The Announcers promote the upcoming Arm Wrestling contest between Adam Copeland and Rhino, wondering how the much smaller Copeland can have any chance.
Rating: F-

Rhino sneaks up and grabs Hudson’s microphone, and proceeds to taunt Adam Copeland, calling him “a SoCal, Surfer Homo” among other things, which does little to endear him to the crowd.
Rating: F+

Kid Kash drew with Steve Corino in 9:46 following a double disqualification. The match broke down when Christopher Daniels and Michael Modest attacked Kid Kash, followed quickly by Super Crazy and finally Hayabusa, who came after Modest.
Rating: E-

Chris Adams, Marty Jannetty, and Stevie Richards give a spirited promo in which they taunt Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, and Tommy Dreamer relentlessly, stating the Rock and Rollers are “lost in the 80’s” and Dreamer “loves Dessert so much he can’t even Wrestle in normal Gear.” calling him “Tommy Creamer” as they leave the Podium, promising a BIG surprise in the six Man tag Match.
Rating: F+

After all the bluff and bluster, Adam Copeland and Rhino finally square off for their arm wrestling contest in the ring. As Rhino goes through a bizarre grunting ritual, Copeland gets the jump on him before he is ready, winning the contest!!!
Rating: D-

Adam Copeland celebrates by striking poses to each side of the ring. Bailing just as an incensed Rhino attempts to deck him with a Chair.
Rating: E+

Chris Adams, Marty Jannetty and Stevie Richards defeated Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson and Tommy Dreamer in 12:49 when Stevie Richards defeated Tommy Dreamer by pinfall following interference from a Dreamer nemesis from ECW….New Jack!!!
Rating: E

As the Rock and Roll Express is being beaten by Adams, Jannetty and Richards, New Jack sneaks up behind Dreamer and hits him the face with a Fireball….laughing maniacally as Dreamer screams in pain.
Rating: F- (The Fans were appalled by this angle……Wimps)

Overall Rating: E
Thoughts: I think I may pull back on the California shows for a bit as we lose ground here and tonight is a new low for attendance. Rhino is still our most over Guy, but Copeland will need to get some exposure to get the most out of their Storyline.

Out next Show is in Minnesota and I have advertised the Williams/Bockwinkel scrap for the main event, as well as a Rock and Roll Express/Adams & Jannetty match, with a surprise special stipulation.

I think Hayabusa will be a nice addition to the Suicide Machines/Down Boys storyline as it plays out.
