Hey Rajah
Just returned from the WWE Summerslam Tour - Newcastle Australia House Show. It was
an amazing atmosphere in a sold out arena.
Below are the results;
Matt Striker vs Harry Smith
Striker intorduced Harry Smith to the crowd as the British Bulldog's son. Big pop.
He then berated Smith. Striker controlled most of the match but Smith won with a
running powerslam. Solid opener with loads of heat on Striker.
Shelton Benjamin vs Charlie Haas
Benjamin out to a huge pop, Haas was booed out of the building. Back and forth match
with Benjamin winning via a T-Bone Suplex.
Umaga w/ Armando vs Snitsky
Armando tried three times to introduce himself but the crowd kept finishing it off.
Quick match with Umaga dominating.
Nitro & Melina vs Carlito & Trish
Trish and Carlito were over big time. Fairly straight forward match with Trish
pinning Melina after a chick kick. Trish is HOT!
Intermission
Mickie James vs Torrie Wilson (Women's Championship)
Big cheer for Torrie. Boos for Mickie. Torrie dominated but allowed herself to be
distracted. Mickie wins via pin. Mickie went on with it after the match, but Torrie
reversed her offence and hit her "stinkface". Fun Match
Randy Orton vs Kane
Orton over with the girls. Kane out to the biggest pop of the night so far. Orton
took a while to start the match. Orton wins after a low blow and RKO.
Spirit Squad vs HBK & Ric Flair (5 vs 2)
SS did a crap cheer for us. Lucky us! HBK out to a giant pop. He asked the crowd who
he should get to partner him. Most of the crowd said HHH. We got Ric. He came out in
DX gear to DX music. SS dominated Flair for most of the match but Flair got a tag to
HBK. HBK won via Sweet Chin Music. OK match.
MAIN EVENT - WWE TITLE - John Cena vs Edge w/ Lita
Edge out to boos, Cena out to big cheers. Back and forth match. The end came after
Cena went for the FU and accidently hit the ref. Edge escaped and rammed Cena into
an exposed turnbuckle. Edge went for the pin, another ref came out and made the two
count. Edge wasn't happy so he speared the ref. Lita handed Edge the belt. Edge
nailed Cena with the belt and was DQ by the ref that was just regaining his senses.
After the match, Lita went for a Litacurrana on Cena but got Edge. Cena hit an FU on
Lita. Cena called Edge back to the ring for a No DQ match for the title. Edge
started back to the ring but blew Cena off and went to the back. Cena thanked the
crowd for coming.
