Wicomico Civic Center in Salisbury, Maryland. The audio at this show was completely terrible! I don't know if it was the civic center or what. The WWE crew looked visibly pissed off about the sound. I was located by the side entrance ramp for the wrestlers. It was my first time to a house show in about 2 years. Lots of Women and Children there to support their hero, John Cena. (boo) I heard lots of people complaining that they bought their tickets before the WWE draft and didn't get to see who they paid to see. (I was included in this bunch of people ) Overall it was a decent house show...
Kane def. Matt Striker via chokeslam
Short match. Striker was on the mic before the match drawing a lot of heat. Kane wins with a chokeslam. Kane received a very decent pop. He was still carrying the bag.
D-low Brown def Charlie Hass via 1 star Frog Splash
Decent match I guess. Charlie Hass kept getting cheap heat by yelling/threatening the audience.
William Regal def Jamie Noble
Solid Match. I was very pleased to see some actual wrestling here. Regal had lots of heat as usual.
Snitsky def (James Curtis?)
I walked back in at the tail end of this match. Decent heat on Snitsky.
Kofi Kingston def Santino Marella
Santino on the mic to start things off - Great heat He kept saying he would unveil his new "finishing move” Kofi out to a sizable pop. Nice match, probably the best one of the night. Kofi wins with the kick, after the match Santino told the announcer to let us know that he is "OK"
intermission
Mickie James def. via (mickie ddt) Katie lee
Solid women's match, lots of men screaming.
John Cena def (via Stfu)Team Priceless
Typical 2 vs. 1 handicap. Cena came out to the usual Women and Children pop. There was a decent amount of heat for him usually drown out by high pitch screams. Cody and Ted work Cena for most of the match, before Cena fights back to win via stfu. Cryme Tyme hits the ring to a decent pop, he delivers an FU then all 3 pose for the crowd. Cena walks up with cryme tyme shaking hands and handing out gear.
CM Punk def Chris Jericho (via GTS) in a no disqualification match. Jericho out first on the mic. He grabs lots of cheap heat saying how he has ended the career of everyone's hero Shawn Michaels. CM Punk hits the ring to a decent pop, however CM also got some heat from fans. Typical no DQ match -- (garbage can lids? A small hammer and chairs were involved.) Punk wins with the GTS. Small note -- I was seated by the entrance walkway... as Jericho exited a "fan" threw and hit Jericho with a soda. Chris was irate, screaming at the fan and telling the police to arrest him and bring him out back. I guess his heel run is working.
