Well, I Have to say that of all the “Live” shows I have been to, this one takes the cake. Coming off the over seas tour (which the RAW and SmackDown! shows have been taped for the week before Valentine’s Day) they held a cross promotional show for us frozen folks here in Anchorage and let me say that it was far better than AWESOME!!!!

Let me start the day by saying that I spent all of last week making posters. It was fun.

Next was the cross promotional tag team match between Heidenriech/Snitsky and Taker/Kane. Totally Cool watching both Taker and Kane enter to their norm. Funny though, Snitsky was waiting for John to get to the ring, John came up and said “my friend Gene”. They got their Boos. Too hilarious!!! Kane then 'Taker came in to the BIGGEST Pops of the night!

This match impress me also because each time one of them was thrown into the corner, the ring shook and you could feel it. It was an unusual match. Taker went for Old School after a minute, but was yanked off the turnbuckle. He eventually hit it along with all of his normal moves (the flying clothesline), and at the end of the match the heels had both the Bros slammed on the ground then turned their backs on them. Simultaneously, the Bros did their sit ups. Way cool! 'Taker and Kane beat up some more on them then hit choke slams and finally tombstone pile drivers for the win. I think they even double pinned them. Kane and 'Taker then did the brotherly hug and then Kane did the little kneel toward 'Taker as he was standing in the corner. Kane left and 'Taker did his kneel with the lights dimming to purple and blue. I love 'Taker’s lighting. He then left and stopped, like he always does. He did the look over the shoulder and turned back to raise him arm. I wish I had been closer for that shot, but I fired off a picture anyway. BIG BIG Pops.

WWE RAW/SmackDown! House Show Report
February 2, 2005 SUPERSHOW
Honolulu, Hawaii at Blaisdell Arena
by Daryl Bonilla & Jay Shimoda

The Blaisdell Arena was sold out with only a few seats in the upper deck empty. It was a 3 and a half hour show that featured SmackDown! and Raw stars. (9) Kane & The Undertaker defeated Gene Snitsky & John Heidenreich. Heidenreich and Snitsky hugged each other when they first entered the ring, and then cowered in each other's arms as Kane and UT were introduced. Kane as over but the place went crazy for The Undertaker. The biggest, loudest, longest pop of the night went to the DeadMan. Hawaii loves the DeadMan. He hasn't been here in quite a while and the audience ate his theatrics up. The Brothers of Destruction won when they hit the double tombstone after they double chokeslammed Snitsky and Heidenreich.

Toledo, Ohio
by James Davis

Pretty good Raw house show last night at the Toledo Sports Arena. I'd say the place was about 3/4 full. I got there right as the first match was starting. The house PA system sucked, so it was hard to hear Fink and company.

6) Kane beat Gene Snitsky in a hardcore match. Good pop for Kane; people booed Snitsky all night. These two went at each other with all the subtlety and grace of mating warthogs. They hit and kicked each other, then brought a bunch of stuff out from under the ring and hit each other with that. Snitsky ate most of the items. Kane got him with some nasty-sounding cookie sheet hits - The highlight was Snitsky laying face up under the ropes so his head was sticking out of the ring. Kane teased clocking Snitsky with a frying pan, then placed a trash can over his head and whacked that with the pan instead. Kane got the win after chokeslamming Gene onto a fresh garbage can. Following the match, Kane broke character and did a lot more celebrating than one would expect the emotionally scarred monster to do. Maybe he loves the Toledo Sports Arena as much as I do.

Cadillac, MI 2-18-2005
by B_Jenkins-BWE, rajah.com reader

The WWE returned to Cadillac after a year long absence and to say the least everyone was very excited about this event. "The Wex" seats about 2500 people and there was not a empty seat in the house. Some people didn't even have seats, even though i was surprised at seeing the WWE come to a small venue that seats 2500 people but it was still a experience.

6th match Kane vs. Gene Snitsky: A lot of stalling and baby killer chants as it looked like to bulls in the ring. Kane wins a long fought battle with the choke slam.

(5) Kane defeated Gene Snitsky. This match was originally scheduled to be a No DQ match but it wasn't. I wish it was because the only way Snitsky could be interesting is with weapons. Snitsky attacked Kane from behind on his way to the ring. He hit some punches and then put Kane in a really long rest hold. Kane got out, went to the top rope for a clothesline, and then hit the chokeslam for the win.

The arena was small but mostly filled. I'd say there were at least 4,000, and the crowd was pretty hot. The showed lasted 3 hours and 15 minutes.

The 7th match was one of solid matches of the night. Kane and Snitsky fought for the 47th time in the last 4 months and tonight it must have been Kane’s turn to win. Kane won with a chokeslam. Snitsky has come a long way and looked comfortable in the ring performing well.

by Wade Keller & Mallory Mahling, ProWrestling Torch

Raw was live tonight from the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler introduced the show. Ross hyped it as one of the bigger shows in a while.

3 -- KANE vs. TYSON TOMKO

Tomko came out with a microphone, whining about all the fuss being made over Batista. He said he was a problem solver and Kane was his new problem. Kane was controlling the match until Tomko scored early with a big boot to the face. Kane resumed control and came back to hit a top rope clothesline which he followed up with a gut-buster. Tomko moved out of Kane's path on a shoulder-charge in the corner. Kane, though, ducked another Tomko boot and even with a sore shoulder, Kane won the match with a one-handed chokeslam. Problem solved. Ross said "it wasn't easy, but it was a victory for the Big Red Machine."

WINNER: Kane

6) Kane beat Gene Snitsky at 8:05. Christy Hemme was the guest announcer. Snitsky comes out first, got booed, and walks toward Christy. Kane's music hits to a huge huge huge pop. They brawled outside in the beginning of the match. Crowd was totally behind Kane. Kane did all of his signature moves. There was a ref bump at the end, Snitsky got a chair, put it around Kane's neck, and went to the top rope, but Kane sat up and threw Snitsky off the top rope. Highlight spot during the match was kane performed a drop kick. Everyone in the arena was so shocked and gave him a standing o. Kane won clean with the chokeslam. Kane celebrated after, but there was no pyro for him.

(7) Kane defeated Gene Snitsky in a hardcore match. It was a good match. Christy Hemme did special ring announcing. They used mostly garbage cans and lids and a hockey stick (Snitsky held up the stick, I was expecting for him to grab the mic and say "Hockey Season is canceled and that isn't my fault either" but he didn't.) Fun match.

Boston, Mass. at Agganis Arena
by BostonWrestling.com

Estimated Crowd: 2,500. This was the WWE's debut show in the new Agganis Arena on the campus of Boston University. Normally they're at the FleetCenter, but I guess they just wanna look at other options when coming to Boston.

5) Trish Stratus defeated Victoria and Molly Holly to retain the Women's Title. WWE brought out the entire women's roster for this one. Trish rolled up Victoria for the win after she gave Molly the widow's peak. After the match Trish attacked Victoria, but Christy Hemme came down to trip up Trish as she was near the ropes. As Trish got up, Victoria got her revenge with something I cannot remember. The music hit and out came SNITSKY! Snitsky was attempting to get at Christy Hemme, but Kane out of no where attacked Snitsky leading to….

(6) Kane defeated Gene Snitsky in a Hardcore Match. Trash cans, trash can lids, the ring bell, and a hockey stick were used. One spot had Snitsky's upper half laying outside on the ring apron. Kane put a trash can on him and then smashed it with the ring bell. Back in the ring, Kane hits Snitsky with the flying clothesline. Snitsky grabs a trash can lid while Kane grabs him by the throat for the chokeslam. Snitsky smashes Kane with the lid until he goes down. Kane sits up. Snitsky smashes him again on the head. Kane sits up again. Snitsky smashes him again. A few moments later, Kane regains his feet and there was a horrible miscue as Snitsky rushed Kane with a hockey stick and nailed him in the face, but Kane at the same time used a kick which incapacitated Snitsky. Kane goes outside for a trash can, puts it down and chokeslams Snitsky onto it. Kane makes the cover and gets the victory.

Winner: Kane

Very small venue. A few thousand, if that, but packed to capacity. It had the look of a decent-sized high school gym.

Kane pinned Tyson Tomko with the chokeslam at 4:24.
