Just came back from a Raw Live Event in Cal State San Berdo
Just as a prenote, this was a very lively crowd in a smaller venue, so
everyone who was a face was pretty much over, and every heel received good
heat.
About 1/4 to 1/3 of the crowd was youngsters. It was definately a
Cena-markfest in CSUSB.
Goldust & Snitsky over Cade & Murdoch
Old-school tag team match, back and forth action, with several Goldust
chants.
Finish: Big Boot by Snitsky on Murdoch
Charlie Haas over Rob Conway
Matt Striker came into the ring before the match to help Conway get out of
his "losing funk" and would watch at ringside. Even though he tried to
interfere, Haas had the crowd and the match finishing it with the Haas of
Pain.
Carlito over Chris Masters
This was a very tense match as Carlito received a huge pop. Masters
dominated early, but Carlito pulled off the victory with the Cool-Cracker.
Torrie Wilson and Maria over Mickie James and Victoria
Dull match really, Candice was the "special ring announcer."
Finish: Rollup by Maria on Victoria
RVD over Shelton Benjamin
Fast-paced aggressive match. Crowd was hugely over for RVD.
Shelton Benjamin appeared to have suffered a knee injury after failing to
land on his feet after RVD attempted a monkey flip. The match immediately
cut to the finish with RVD hitting the 5 star frog splash. Referees and a
trainer helped him from the ring.
Spirit Squad (4 members) over Big Show & Viscera in a 4 on 2 handicap match
Good match, the Spirit Squad received the biggest heat of the night.
They hit thier little finisher at the end on Viscera, but they only got him
about a foot off the ground.
John Cena over Triple H and Edge
Very tense match, back and forth action. The ref took a bump, Triple H
grabbed the sledgehammer but got speared. Lita hit Cena with the belt and a
second ref came in for the count but it was only 2. Cena lowblowed Triple H
then hit the FU on Edge.
At the end of the Triple Threat WWE title match, Triple H hit Cena with the
sledgehammer to the joy of the crowd.
Overall a very good event. Each match was action packed. This was a much
better show than what makes it on Monday nights.
