Notes from Washington, DC before Raw -Superstars notes - HHH birthday party


Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

by Ron Whitworth 

 

The crowd looks way up from the last raw show which was also a  
Saturday night's main event taping. Very few sections are curtained  
off and the majority of all three levels are full even with bell time  
10 minutes away. Survivor Series presale begins at midnight tonight.

Dark match:
 
Alex Riley cuts heel promo saying his mother was miss Virginia in 
1973, which is the only good thing to come out of  Virginia....
 
Jamie Noble rolled up Alex Riley for the pin in four minutes. Crowd 
was alive and behind Noble throughout the match after Riley's heel 
promo. Riley looked green but not a bad dark match.
 
WWE Superstars:
 
1) John Morrison vs. Tyson Kidd: Morrison by pin in 12 minutes in an 
excellent tv match. This should have been on the ppv last night. Kidd 
continues to improve and plays solid heel. Undoubtedly a star in the 
making if the powers that be don't hold him down. 3 1/2 stars and 
making an educated guess that this will be the match of the night.
 
2) Randy Orton vs. Primo Colon: perhaps I spoke too soon. At this 
point I started feeling very sorry for Bryan not having access to WGN. 
This is a good week to catch the show on You Tube Bryan. Orton won 
with the RKO in 8 minutes in a 3-star match. Great psychology by 
both...only thing that brought it down is Orton somehow managed to 
work in two long headlocks into an 8 minute tv match.
Still a great tv match and a heck of a one hour tv show this Thursday.
 

Unannounced dark main event: HHH/Cena beat Randy Orton/Big Show in two 
minutes. Orton tagged in Show and walked out with his belt. After 
suplexing Show, Cena gave Show the FU, then HHH gave Show the pedigree 
for the pin. afterwards was a 15 minute bithday celebration for HHH 
which involved the entire locker room including Vince and Batista. 
Please let me know if you need full details and I will email you later 
or in the morning. Thanks, Ron
