Here is my report from the Smackdown House Show in Dayton, Ohio on May 11, 2008 if you would like to post it.
This was a great Mothers Day for me. I am a quote, unquote mother to a beagle as I have no kids of the two legged kind, and unfortunately my own mom is no longer with me. However, the WWE Smackdown crew gave me a great show:
Pre Show: Got to see some of the Smackdown Superstars arrive. MVP jawed at us fans. A lot of the fans were cheering him for him to come and sign and he yelled back that two hours later we would be booing him. Shelton Benjamin drove the car. We saw the Edgeheads drive in and John Morrison. We saw Natalya and Cherry come together. Victoria and Chuck Palumbo arrived together I believe.
I usually RARELY mark out, but when my favorite Smackdown Superstar (and one of my favorite wrestlers ever) Edge showed up, I went bonkers. It was great. He had his hair in a ponytail, and a coffee mug in his hand and waved at us with his finger. Then, like the heel he is, pretended to come to us as if he was going to sign and then quickly turned and went inside. :) I love it. LOL
Big Show arrived and he signed for the fans. I didn't get a signature because I had met him several times and wanted others to get theirs.
The Show:
Finlay w/ Hornswoggle and Jamie Noble defeated the Edgeheads in a pretty fun match. I enjoyed it. One point in the match, Hornswoggle juggled balls and then hit the Edgeheads with them. Funny spot.. I thought it was a pretty decent opener.
Ted DiBiase, Jr. defeated Tommy Dreamer in an ok match. Nothing particularly special about this match stood out for me.
Kofi Kingston defeated Mike Knox in a decent match. Kingston looked like he was having a good time out there to me. Again, a decent match, nothing special though.
Victoria and Natalya defeated Michelle McCool and Cherry. I enjoyed the match. I think the women worked very hard. I think Natalya is going to be very good, just like her dad. Good match.
CM Punk defeated Shelton Benjamin in a pretty good match. Benjamin is very athletic. He should be featured more. I enjoyed the finisher that Punk uses, the Go To Sleep. Very cool move.
The Big Show defeated Mark Henry in an ok match. It was alright. Nothing special. Henry ripped up someones sign. I was like It is Mothers Day, that is not nice, Henry. I was having a blast watching Henry go nuts on that sign.
INTERMISSION
Matt Hardy defeated MVP for the US Title Match. I liked the match alot. Very good match. MVP got booed like crazy. Before they started, each guy held up the belt. It was a hoot. Anyway, Hardy and MVP did a great job and Hardy has a heck of a move in the Twist of Fate.
The Miz and John Morrison defeated Jesse and Festus for the Tag Belts. Match was good. Morrison and Miz did some pre match antics like gyrations and pretending to throw their shirts at the screaming girls. The match itself was good. There was a funny part where Jesse and Festus were imitating Miz and Morrison by gyrating themselves. Trust me, you did not want to see Festus gyrating. LOL Regardless, I enjoyed the match.
The Undertaker defeated Edge in the Main Event in a No Disqualification Match (by the vote via text message). Oh , man, I thought the match was a VERY good match. I think Taker and Edge have great in ring chemistry. I really liked the match. Edge has incredible heel heat. Real heel heat. When he came out, the boos were just so LOUD. I could barely hear his music. Anyway, he is jawing with the crowd and tearing up peoples signs. It was great. On the other hand, when Taker came out, the crowd was going nuts.
The match itself was very good. Edge did a lot of stalling at first, but once it got going, there was a lot of action outside the ring. They fought all the way to the back and back to the ring. They got their signature moves in, of course. The Edgeheads try to interfere of course, but to no avail. Taker wins by I believe a low blow and the Tombstone Piledriver, and the Edgeheads get Edge to the back.
End of show.
