Hey guys, I just got back from a WWE Raw House Show. It was in Stockton, CA and I had a blast. I wouldn't say this was my favorite show I've been to (I've been to about 8 or so others). Anyway, I'm going to Monday Night Raw in Oakland, CA tomorrow and be there live for the Million Dollar Mania!!!
Before I begin with the results, I want to let everyone know something a little suprising. Before the show started Lillian Garcia asked where Maria was. She was in the crowd next to someone and asked him who his favorite wrestler was: John Cena. Maria asked him if he'd like to go down and sit ringside for the event, along with $200 of Mr. McMahon's personal money. Throughout the show this happened with Maria finding random people (note, this is a House Show), and giving people cool things: Special Bell Ringer, Special Manager for Mickie James, etc. along with $200 each. This seems pretty impresive, just throwing money at the fans. Hey, I'm not complaining... even though I didn't get anything.
Opening Contest:
World Tag Team Championship
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes vs. Santino Marella and Carlito
Since it was the first match everyone was hyped. Santino was wrestling in a singlet, so I guess his figure will be outdated when it finally is released. Pretty good match with a lot of back and forth action. Cody won with a DDT to Santino.
Winners: Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes
Ted Dibiase Jr. vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
We are definitely going to be seeing more of Dibiase Jr. He was a heel and "was picking up where his father left", saying he was a "winner". He won by using the second rope for a pinfall.
Winner: Ted Dibiase Jr.
Brian Kendrick vs. Snitsky
Brian Kendrick was murdered out there . Snitsky was such a powerhouse with probably a dozen high-impact slams. Kendrick pulled off his Sliced Bread. After his miraculous win, Snitsky clotheslined him and gave him a Pump-Handle Slam. The way the match went and how it was afterward, I think that WWE is feeling him out for potential Intercontinental Championship contention.
Winner: Brian Kendrick
2 on 1 Handicap Match
Paul Burchill and Katie Lee vs. Supercrazy
Super got a good pop because most of the audience was Mexican. Paul and Katie fought dirty. Kinda a dull match. Paul did a NeckBreaker and Katie pinned him (no curb-stomp I guess).
Winners: Paul Burchill & Katie Lee
Trevor Murdoch vs. Lance Cade
A last week's Raw re-match. This was a SLEEPER MATCH. Many people left for concessions.
Winner: Lance Cade
Intercontinental Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho
Best match of the night. I guess it's true about Jeff not pulling the Swonton as much. I was dissapointed to not see the Swonton Bomb or Jericho's Lionsault. Anyway, Jericho won with his Code-Breaker.
Winner: Chris Jericho
INTERMISSION
Women's Championship
Beth Pheonix vs. Mickie James
Another sleeper match, of course with title matches everyone knows they'll retain. Decent wrestling for the divas.
Winner: Beth Pheonix
JBL vs. John Cena
One Night Stand re-match. JBL was really giving heat going on about the Mexicans. He said they didn't know English, don't make money, pick fruit, etc. etc. etc. This just added to the enormous pop Cena got. This match was what you would expect from the two. Many slow dragged on parts with big pop moments. Cena gave the same thing he always does to pick up the win.
Winner: John Cena
WWE Championship (No DQ Match)
Triple H vs. Umaga
They said that we could vote for what match type the main event would be by texting: (A) for a Falls Count Anywhere, (B) for a 2 out of 3 Falls, or (C) for a no DQ match. Of course, the no DQ match was favored. The match went back and forth with a lot of exchanging punches. They used a garbage can, chair, and a sledgehammer. Triple H won with the Pedigree.
Winner: Triple H
Many matches scattered with well-performed spots. I enjoyed myself with a friend and had a good time.
Match of the Night:
Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy
Worst Match of the Night:
Trevor Murdoch vs. Lance Cade
Biggest pops:
-Triple H
-John Cena
-Jeff Hardy
-Mickie James
-Supercrazy
Biggest heat:
-JBL
-Umaga
-Santino Marella
-Ted Dibiase Jr.
-Chris Jericho (believe it or not)
Please leave comments, I spent quite while making this thread to share my night with you.
