HOWARD FINKEL!  Yes the Fink is doing the ring announcments tonight.  
It was glorious.   Kelly Kelly was the hostess, and said she would be 
appearing at random spots through out the night.  She pretty much 
stayed in the same place the whole time.
 
He announces that the World Title match will be either a Falls Count 
Anywhere match, a 2/3 Falls match, or a NO DQ match, and the fans get 
to text message a number to decide.
 
First match is Jamie Noble vs. Charlie Haas.  Jamie Noble wins with a 
flippy move off the top.  Haas got a lot of heat by stalling to start 
the match, but other than that not much to it.
 
D-Lo Brown beat Santino Marella.  Santino came out and talked about 
how great Lexington is, and mentioned how great it's great football 
and basketball cardinals are.  Massive heat for that one (seriously, 
fuck Louisville).  He then talked about how great his quads are.  D-
Lo beat him with a frog splash.  People seemed to know who he was, 
which was weird considering there were a ton of kids there that 
couldn't possibly remember the Nation.
 
Paul London vs. Chuck Palumbo.  Either Chuck Palumbo is a giant, or 
Paul London is beyond tiny.  Palumbo was literally twice his size.  
London beat him with a shooting star splash, which I thought WWE 
banned?  Well he did it here and it was great.
 
Kofi Kingston vs. Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea.  Kofi was quite over.  
Not a main event pop but he was certainly popular.  At one point 
there was even a kofi chant.  Kingston won with whatever his move is 
called, I really don't remember.
 
Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix.  Mickie was the first star of the 
night to get the crowd off it's feet.  Kelly Kelly was sitting 
ringside with a kid who was the guest bell ringer.  Whenever Beth 
would put a hold on Mickie, Kelly would clap into the mic to get the 
crowd going.  Mickie won with a roll up pin.
 
Lance Cade came out and cut a promo on Shawn Michaels, saying that he 
was the best student to come out of the TWA and once he came to the 
WWE Michaels wouldn't even give him the time of day, so he was 
angry.  HBK came out and they had the best match of the night.  HBK 
got a huge pop.  It went back and forth for a while.  HBK did his 
elbow off the top, and went for the superkick but Cade countered it 
into a spine buster.  HBK kicked out and Cade picked him up and gave 
him another one.  HBK kicked out again.  Cade picked him up and HBK 
pushed him and then superkicked him for the pin.  Great great match.
 
CM Punk vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Title.  66% of the 
crowd voted for No DQ!  This was bizzare.  Batista came out first to 
a HUGE ovation.  Cm Punk came out to a not quite as big reaction, but 
was still a star, no boos or anything that I noticed.  All through 
out the match both guys were being cheered big time.  There were 
Batista chants and CM punk chants, depending on who was down.  There 
was a chair in the ring, and Batista hit a spine buster on Punk.  
Batista went for the spear but Punk picked up the chair and he 
speared the chair, so Punk got the pin.  Punk grabbed the belt and 
started celebrating and climbing the ropes and the entire arena was 
going nuts.  Then Batista kicked him and gave him a power bomb, and 
everyone went even crazier.  Then Bataista posed with the belt and 
people went even crazier.  Then he left and CM Punk got up and 
everyone started booing.  He stood there with the belt and held it up 
and everyone booed.  No idea what was going on there.
 
The Main event was Cena and Cryme Tyme vs. Kane, Rhodes, and Dibiase.
 
The first part of this match had Cena as the babyface in peril, 
selling mostly for Dibiase.  Cena finally tagged in SHAD GASPARD who 
went wild, and knocked Kane off the apron.  Kane went berzerk and 
stared destroying everyone.  He threw JTG in the ring and then got on 
top of him and started beating him.  He then got out of the ring and 
started kicking over all of the chairs around the ring, then walked 
to the back.  3 refs and a security guy came out and literally 
carried JTG to the back.   Then Fink said the match would continue.  
Shad sold for the Rhodes for the rest.  Cena got the hot tag and gave 
both Rhodes and Dibiase a Five Knuckle Shuffle at the same time.  He 
gave them each an FU and pinned Rhodes.  They celebrated for a minute 
and then Cena grabbed Finkel and put him over saying that he was the 
first WWF employee and the greatest ring announcer ever, and said it 
was an honor to have him call out his name.

By Terri Bey:

I attended the 7/11 Raw House Show in Lexington KY and here are the results.
 
Finkle announced the possible stipulations for the World Championship Match: NO DQ or Falls Count Anywhere. There may have been another though.
 
Jamie Noble beat Charlie Haas in  an ok opener. Nothing special.
 
D Lo Brown beat Santino Morella in a pretty decent match. Morella cut a funny promo before the match making fun of Lexington and praising rival Louisville. Brown looked ok.
 
Paul London beat Chuck Palumbo in a fair match. London had a kid as a guest manager that Kelly Kelly picked out of the crowd. London had some cool moves and did his best with Chuck.
 
Kofi Kingston retained his Intercontinental Title against Paul Burchill w/Lea in a pretty good match. Both guys worked hard.  I enjoyed it.
 
Mickie James retained her Women's Title against Beth Phoenix in a good match. I enjoyed both womens' efforts. Beth's power moves are impressive in person.
 
Intermission
 
Lance Cade cuts a promo bashing HBK
 
HBK beat Cade in an excellent match. Nice work between both teacher and former student. HBK is still the man in my book.
 
CM Punk retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a surprisingly very good match. The stipulation was No DQ.  I enjoyed it. Both guys worked pretty well together.  Post Match saw Batista Batista bomb CM Punk and Batista got a huge CHEER and when Punk got up, he got BOOd. Weird. But anyway.....good match.
 
Main Event: Cryme Tyme and Cena beat DiBiase , Rhodes and Kane. There was a spot where Kane chokeslammed JTG and went to the back and JTG was carried to the back. Anyway, Cena finished off Dibiase and Rhodes with the five knuckle shuffle and FU. Post Match: Cena gives a speech on how he loves Lexington and KY and praises Finkle for his 31 years of service.
