Now moving on to a show dated 9/6/2003.

Man vs. Woman
Salvatore Rinauro vs. Daizee Haze - Great, another man versus woman match. Lockup to the corner, and Sal blows her a kiss. Haze is a talent from the St. Louis based Gateway Championship Wrestling. Lockup, takedown Haze, wrestling on the mat, Haze has an armbar and drop toe holds Sal down. Sal, annoyed, challenges Haze to wrestle him on the mat, she OK rolls him for two. Armdrag Haze, hammerlock, Sal finally gets a takedown, but Haze scissors out of it. Headlock on the mat by Haze. Butterfly armbar by Haze, turns it into a pin and gets two. Sal blocks a move, gets a chinlock and hooks the left leg together at the same time then drops her in a gut wrencher. Sal puts Haze on top, wastes time and gets low blowed. Haze waits on him, dives as if to do a flying headscissors but gets caught in a powerbomb and loses. Sal picks her up and acts as if he's gonna violate her but Matt Sydal runs him off. Too short of a match I'm afraid to rate this any higher.

WINNER: Salvatore Rinauro pin -> 4:35 mins. **

Caprice Coleman & Jeremy V vs. Rainman & Azrael - Jeremy V is attacking Rainman over the ref handing the belt to him over a disputed TV title change where V beat Rainman in a steel cage and the heels destroy all video footage of the title change.

Bailey apparently was going to throw a fireball, but Altar Boy Luke comes in for the save, spinebuster Iceberg on Rainman. I had given this two stars originally, that was too much for this on second viewing.

WINNER: Bull Buchanan countout -> 7:25 mins. *

Got a real mixed bag here, quite obvious that Iceberg is a bore in the matches he's involved in. The cruiserweights though are the ones who are the most entertaining. Next time, since the WWE refused to do it, we take a look back at matches featuring Crash Holly.
