[Previous Article] - [Next Article]|
Reader Seth Dunas sent in the following report: The show gets started by Howard Finkel addressing and working the crowd, reminding them to buy SummerSlam on August 17th. He then lets the crowd know they will be involved in tonight's show. Up in the crowd, Jillian Hall (who was hostess for the evening) asks a young fan where WrestleMania was held this year and the fan and his father for answering correctly get ringside seats for the show. Kofi Kingston d. Paul Burchill (w/Katie Lea) Intercontinental Title Match Snitsky d. Hacksaw Jim Duggan Lance Cade d. Paul London Mickie James d. Beth Phoenix (Women's Title Match) After this match Santino came down and did some mic work, about how he and Beth could get past the "disruption" of the kisses the last few weeks on Raw. Something about each of them touching their fists together. Beth remained ringside for Santino's match. D'Lo Brown d. Santino (Beth Phoenix carried Santino over her shoulder away from ringside in one the funniest spots of the whole evening) Jillian once again is in the crowd and selects a young fan to be Guest bell ringer. Jillian then gets in the ring to and as her way to thank the fans for a great evening, she sings for us, which only last a few seconds as Kane's music begins) Batista d. Kane (The Fink informs the crowd before the match,by orders of new RAW GM Mike Adamle this will be a Handicap Match) After the match Cryme Tyme hit the ring and Cena hit STFU on DiBiase Jr. CM Punk d. Chris Jericho (World Heavyweight Title match-No DQ as voted by fans via text vote) (Before the match, Lance Cade who had accompanied Y2J to the ring, once again works the mic and then gives it to Jericho who works the crowd for a good 5 minutes about HBK and how he (Jericho) has brainwashed the fans.) Overall a very good show.
