[Previous Article] - [Next Article]|
Thanks to readers Parker & Kristy Griffith for sending in the following report: WWE Raw House Show Results - 3/15/08 Building pretty full, capacity is between 8-10 thousand. About 90-95% full. William Regal comes out cuts a heel promo, disses Tyler. Pretends to forget name of town, sarcastically compares MSG to Oil Palace. Regal announces we get to choose stipulation. for Finly/JBL match by texting. Choices are street fight, falls count any where, 2 out of 3 falls match. Tony Chimel announcing. Tag Team Championship:Rhodes/Holly def. Cade/Murdoch okay match. Murdoch was wearing like a full length shiny, trench coat, very odd. Match ran about five minutes, Holly goes over with Alabama Slam on Cade. Champs win. Cody was way over with the crowd. Burchill w/Katie Lea def Brian Kendrick. Burchil and Lea cut the usual "what Katie wants Katie gets" promo. Burchill goes over with whatever he calls his finisher. Crowd was pretty dead. Lame match. Super Crazy def. Charlie Hass. Sign Guy was in attendance, probably signed more autographs than the superstars. Had great sign calling Haas a "Haas Hole." Super was way over with large Latino crowd. Midway through match Hass completely changes unitard and adds mask under ring. Wiped nose with Super's Mexican flag pancho, drew major heat. Super unmasked Haas, threw mask in air, Haas catches it and Super rolls up for the win. Santino/Carlito def. Val/DH. Smith. Val way over. Decent match, crowd pretty into it. Carlito hits backstabber on Val, Santino covers for win. D.H. helps Val after the match, gets decent applause. Intermission. Women's Championship: Beth def. Mickie. Some may disagree with this, but as far as wrestling goes it was the best match of the night. My wife even agrees and she usually makes us fast forward through Diva's matches. Typical back and forth, Mickie hits a few high spots, Mickie was way over. Beth then dominates and hits finisher for win. Continues beat down after match, Candice makes save. Candice and Mickie pose. Tony reminds us to Smackdown! our vote in November, segueing into telling us the text results for the Finlay/JBL match. Street Fight wins with 70 %. JBL cuts great heel promo, just to make sure he did not get any local boy pop (he is from East Texas). Major heat, tells us why he left East Texas and if we wanted to know we could just look at the toothless, redneck next to us. Talks about beating Horny. I don't like the guy, but he can cut a good promo. Finlay comes out. Street Fight: Finlay def. JBL. Brawl almost immediately spills into the crowd, great reaction. Side note: some kid almost got run over by them and the crowd that followed. He was OK, but way away from his seat. Match goes back into ring, trash cans, a ken do stick, and chairs ensue. Finlay gets win with shillelagh shot. Finlay was pretty over as a face, but JBL way over as a heel. Main Event: DX def. Randy/Snitsky. Match takes forever to get started. DX does promo, calls out venue on not turning on AC. Trips says for millions watching at home, Shawn reminds its not televised, gets laughs. It was 86 outside and about 90 inside. Some guy got tossed, that did not help. Snitsky refuses to wrestle because of "Brush Your Teeth Chants." Match finally starts, then Trips tells Snitsky crowd is right he needs gum or something. Guy gives Trips gum, crowd throws more gum. More people get tossed. Snitsky almost eats gum, then refuses. Match starts again. Trips starts out hot. Shawn and Trips pull down Randy and Snitsky's trunks, respectively. Major laughs and pops for Randy's butt. Trips gets on mic says Snitsky must be smuggling a gerbil and tells Shawn next time they do that bit they are switching men. Shawn tags in starts hot, gets worked over by both. Shawn makes hot tag to Trips who clears house. end comes when Shawn hits Sweet Chin Music on Randy, followed by SCM on Snitsky which turns into a Pedigree by Trips. Trips pins Snitsky. DX poses, Tony thanks us and that is it. No Kennedy or Jericho. Also, apparently no one reads WWE.com or any website and literally half the people we met had no idea Jeff Hardy would not be there (originally scheduled was Hardy vs. Orton for title and JBL vs. HBK). One girl actually cried. Even though I heard a radio ad on Friday with the new card. Biggest Heat: Biggest Pops Thanks to reader James Cook for sending in the following report: WWE Raw House Show Results - 3/15/08 *WWE World Tag Team Champions Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes b. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch* *Paul Burchill b. Brian Kendrick* *Super Crazy b. Charlie Haas* *Santino Marella & Carlito b. DH Smith & Val Venis* *WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix b. Mickie James* *Finlay b. JBL(fans text voted the fight stips with 70% for street fight)*(usual JBL moaning about the being the best thing from east texts and telling us how good it was to slap hornswoggle around. Finley used just about every lids, trash can, chair, kendo stick against JBL. They even went out the ring to where the wwe shop zone was and eventually came back to the ring and where Finley finally got the win.) *DeGeneration X b. WWE Champion Randy Orton & Snitsky *(Shawn came into the ring doing his running around HHH routine. HHH picked on the people who ran the Oil Palace about no A/C in the building in normal DX intro. this match never seemed to wanted to start, fans chanting "brush your teeth" like for 10 mins, the usual dx stuff, rock scissors, paper to who goes first, Shawn lost 2-0, Shawn didn't want to start kept pulling hhh back in, hhh got on Overall the show was great, with a full house. It was too hot in this small convention hall/rodeo/auction place in Tyler, with horrible lighting, and what seemed like a very small ring with two towering light structures on opposite corners to light the ring. Sign Guy was in attendance and was signing just about anything people brought to him. He had some really good signs for each of the heels and was active just about all night long. Had two people visit from out of town, they told me they saw the same show in Waco with this show being longer overall. (about few mins short of 3 hours with an intermission) *Pops: *Boos: WrestleMania Spoilers - Plans For MITB Ladder Match; Both Main Event Outcomes > |
