WWE house show report 1-4 Baton Rouge

By Robert Garrison and Troy Vaughn

From Robert Garrison:

Kofi Kingston over Dolph Zigler

Tag team title match-Miz & Morrison over Cryme Tyme

IC title match-William Regal w/Layla over CM Punk

ECW title-Matt Hardy over Jack Swagger

Women’s title-Beth Phoenix over Melina

Shawn Michaels & Ray Mysterio over Mike Knox & Kane

World title-John Cena over Randy Orton

This was virtually the same show as the show reported on from Ft. Lauderdale two days ago, including the bit with Teddy Long and Tiffany, and the bit with Santino Marella and the Boogeyman. I thought the tag title and the women’s title matches were both sloppy at times, but the last two matches were both very good. Cena, of course, got the biggest pop, followed closely by Michaels, Mysterio, and Kingston.

1. Kofi Kingston beat Dolph Ziggler with Trouble in Paradise. Pretty good opener
2. Miz & Morrison beat Cryme Tyme when Miz pinned JTG with Reality Check. Really good old school tag wrestling
3. William Regal beat CM Punk with a running knee. Another good match
4. Matt Hardy beat Jack Swagger with Twist of Fate. I didn't care for this too much
5. Beth Phoenix beat Melina with Glamslam. Alright match, Melina did look a little rusty
6. Shawn Michaels & Rey Mysterio beat Kane & Mike Knox when Shawn pinned Knox after Sweet Chin Music. Great match
7. John Cena beat Randy Orton with FU. Tremendous match. I think if they do have this match at WrestleMania 25, it should definately close the show
