Report sent in by Steve Ortman

I was at the Raw house show in Dubuque, Iowa
last night. This was the WWE's first time in Dubuque. Hopefully they
will be back soon, as the Five Flags Center was almost sold out and the
crowd was loud and crazy all night. Before the show superstars Super
Crazy, Trevor Murdoch, Johnny Nitro and Melina were out walking around.
Nitro went up to a group of kids with a paper pad like he was going to
sign a bunch of autographs but then threw the pad of paper down and
walked away. That led to a chorus of boos and Nitro would get a ton of
heat the rest of the night. Murdoch was just kind of hanging out with a
can for his tobacco spit.



The show was pretty good. I noticed that Ricky Steamboat was over at the
table where they ran the music and what not. I can't believe he didn't
get more attention but I recognized him right away.



Super Crazy pinned Chris Masters with a roll-up to open the show. After
the loss, there was a huge "you suck" chant for Masters, for which he
turned to my side (I was fifth row ringside) and mouthed "f*ck you."



Cryme Tyme beat Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. CT was way over in
Dubuque.



Val Venis beat some guy called "The Big Deal." I didn't even catch his
name, but it was pure quiet when this guy walked out. You could here a
pin drop in that arena. I went to grab a soda for my girlfriend during
this contest but what I did see is that this guy isn't that impressive.
Val won with the Money Shot.



Mickie James pinned Victoria with her DDT. At one point they were doing
a move and Mickie's top was being pulled off, you could see her bra and
thought maybe that might come off too. She was facing our way which one
guy replied "man that's a nice shot."



The Highlanders beat the Spirit Squad in a non-title match. Same match
we've seen before with these teams and Kenny started beating up the
other members after that match and stormed off.



Carlito pinned Shelton Benjamin with a backcracker. Good match. Carlito
was way over and there are still "mama's boy" chants for Shelton.



There was then an intermission, in which Maria and Torrie came out and
shot some t-shirts into the crowd. A little boy got to come in and
introduce the next match. He couldn't say "intercontinental," I felt bad
for the little guy.



Jeff Hardy pinned Johnny Nitro to retain the IC title after a senton.
Nitro got serious heat.



Next was Triple H vs. Orton. Triple H's ovation was huge. Lots of DX
signs in the crowd. Triple H would just point to each side of the crowd
and they would go crazy. Orton kept getting into it with a ringside fan
and kept telling the fan to take a swing at him. Instead, the fan gave
him the crotch chop. Same match between these two, HHH wins with the
pedigree.



Main Event was Cena and Umaga for the WWE title. Little disappointing,
since Edge was scheduled to be in this match. At least we got to here
Armando do his thing on the mic. Decent match with these two, ends in a
DQ when Cena was going for the FU and Armando came in and chop blocked
Cena. That's brings out Johnny Nitro for the triple team on Cena, which
brings out HHH to clean house. Fans go crazy for Cena as the show ends.



Good three hour show. Crowd was hot and loud all night and I can only
hope WWE makes a return trip to Dubuque.
