WWE house show report 10-11 Huntington, WV PDF Print E-mail

By Aaron Pinsky




Cryme Tyme d. Hart Dynasty after JTG pinned Tyson Kidd with the Shout-out (Sling Blade)
 
Abraham Washington Show w/ Rey Mysterio and CM Punk. Abraham made the obligatory WV jokes about incest and no teeth, then he invited Rey to the show and made fun of his size. After Rey started threatening him, CM Punk came out and made some more WV insults, more specifically at my college Marshall. Rey attacked him, and got a GTS for his efforts.
 
Melina and Eve d. Bella Twins in a decent match that the crowd was dead for up until the end where Melina pinned one of the Bellas with that Inverted Leg Drop bulldog w/ Splits.
 
R-Truth d. Drew McIntyre after a roll-up from out of nowhere. Crowd was dead for Drew, but hot for R-Truth (who I got a picture with before the show).
 
Sheamus d. Shelton Benjamin with the chicken kick. Shelton is still selling his injuries.
 
John Morrison d. Dolph Ziggler for the IC Championship. Ziggler played to the crowd for a good seven minutes before Morrison came out to shut him up (though the crowd was silencing Ziggler just fine). Decent match that saw Morrison win with the Starship Pain.
 
(Intermission)
 
Kane d. Matt Hardy in a straight-forward match. Kane got HUGE pops coming out, second only to Rey Mysterio. I think Kane is at the stage of his career where he will be cheered regardless of alignment. Kane won with the Chokeslam.
 
Christian, Dreamer, and Hurricane d. Ruthless Roundtable. The faces did a lot of comedy spots, including pointing at themselves for cheers, the heels for boos, and referee Charles Robinson for an even bigger cheer. Christian won with the Killswitch: probably my favorite match of the night.
 
Rey Mysterio d. CM Punk. When the match started, Rey attacked Punk while he was taking his shirt off, so Punk spent a few minutes struggling to get his shirt off while being attacked. Punk came back and beat the crap out of Rey for a good while, then Rey kept teasing the 619 only for Punk to escape. The finish came when Rey finally hit the 619 to a massive pop, followed by the splash for the win.
 
The show started kind of slow, probably due to the Abraham Washington show, but it ended quite nicely. It was well worth my dollar, and that's why I always try to go to these WWE shows whenever they're in town, because watching it live is always so surreal when I'm so used to seeing them on TV.
