WWE Raw Show Results from Brisbane, Queensland Australia November 8th, 2007.
Held at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, stated at 7:30pm.

Ring Announcer: Tony Chimmel

Show started with William Regal coming to the ring announcing that the
first match of the night would be a 15 man battle royal with the winner
going on to win the Silver Cup and have a WWE Title Match against Randy
Orton later in the night. William Regal was heckled by the crowd.

Participants were as follows:

* Robbie from "The Highlanders"
* Rory from "The Highlanders"
* HHH
* Shelton Benjamin
* Charlie Haas
* Hardcore Holly
* Cody Rhodes
* Santino Marella
* Umaga
* Jeff Hardy
* "Hacksaw Jim Duggan"
* Gene Snitsky
* Lance Cade
* Trevor Murdoch
* Mr Kennedy

Santino came to the ring insulting "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for what he
did to himself and Maria and insulted Brisbane and our Rugby League Team
"The Brisbane Broncos". He was the first eliminated by a large number
of the other wrestlers.

Several wrestlers were eliminated and as "Hardcore" Holly was walking
away from the ring he got into an argument with several fans at ringside
before shaking hands with others.

The final four left in the Battle Royal were HHH, Umaga, Jeff Hardy and
Mr Kennedy. HHH and Umaga eliminated each other then Jeff Hardy won by
eliminating Mr Kennedy.

Crowd was very happy with Jeff winning as he posed for the fans, etc.

Next match was a triple threat match for the WWE Women's Championship
with Jillian Hall vs Mickie James vs "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix.
Jillian came out first and started to sing before Mickie made her ring
entrance then Beth. Pretty much back and forth match with both Mickie
and Jillian knocking Beth out of the ring several times to concentrate
on attacking each other. These girls don't get enough credit for their
hard work. Beth won the match by pinning Mickie with her finishing
move. Didn't realise how tiny and pretty Mickie was in person. Jillian
was pretty too, but the new hair extension she had looked terrible (why
does she have them when her hair is long enough already) and I think
Beth managed to yank a few of them out. Beth Phoenix is one strong
looking woman. Good to see some decent women's wrestling instead of
bikini contests. I wish the match had of gone longer.

Third match was Shelton Benjamin vs Brian Kendrick - this was a terrific
match very fast paced and a lot of high flying moves from Brian
Kendrick. Shelton was also pretty awesome - I wish that he was given a
decent push along with Charlie Haas. Brian Kendrick pinned Shelton to
win the match. Shelton looked dazed after the match and had to leave
the ring assisted by the referee, it looked like he had taken a bad head
knock or something. Both Shelton Benjamin and Brian Kendrick worked
well together in this match and pulled off some awesome moves.

Fourth match was Mr Kennedy vs Cody Rhodes. Mr Kennedy came out first
to the ring and teased the crowd with his "Mr Kennedy" chants. Cody
then came out. Must say he has some of the same mannerisms as his
father Dusty Rhodes. Both wrestlers were popular with the crowd. Mr
Kennedy started off with teasing Cody first, by patting him on the head
a few times and then had a little game of cat and chase around the ring
before they finally locked up. Mr Kennedy seemed to enjoy mocking Cody.
A lot of the match was technical mat wrestling which was good to see.
What was not good to see is that Cody's privates nearly spilt out of his
trunks, lol. A lot of the young women at the show didn't mind this
though. There were a couple of times when the crowd reaction was dead
for this match. I think they both put on a good match. Mr Kennedy
pinned Cody Rhodes to win the match. During the match you could also
hear Kennedy and Rhodes communicating with each other about the match.

Next was intermission where Tony Chimmel was encouraging people to go
and buy WWE Merchandise from the WWE Merchandise Stands in the arena.

After intermission Mickie James came out to present the winner of a
competition held who won a new X Box System and a copy of the new WWE
Raw vs Smackdown game. Mickie definitely looks better in person than
she does on TV.

Next match was for the Tag Team Championship with Lance Cade and Trevor
Murdoch vs "The Highlanders". It was a pretty good match with Lance
Cade and Trevor Murdoch riling the crowd and Lance Cade having to "hold'
Trevor back when someone in the crowed was giving him a hard time and
egging him on. "The Highlanders" worked hard in this match to get the
crowd support and were very impressive with a lot of moves such as
double bodyslams, double back suplexes and knocking both Cade and
Murdoch out of the ring at the same time. The Bald Headed Highlander
even started the crowd up with chants of "Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oy Oy Oy".
Best line of the night went to Murdoch who blatantly said to the Referee
that he was "playing by the rules", it was a classic. Both of these
teams worked well together. "The Highlanders" worked better seeing them
in person than they do when there are in televised matches on TV. Maybe
these two guys need to be given a decent push.

The second last match of the night was Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton for the
WWE Title. Jeff Hardy got the best reaction so far of the night and was
slapping hands with fans on the way to the ring. This was in contrast
to Orton who got the crap booed out of him by most of the crowd. Must
admit that I was sitting close enough for him to notice me giving him
hand signals and some nicely worded insults (obviously I am not an Orton
fan). The match was fast paced with plenty of action with Hardy using
some good moves including "The Whisper in the Wind". I don't think he
did the Swanton Bomb that I can remember. Orton eventually pinned Jeff
Hardy with the RKO. In the last few minutes of the match you could
clearly hear the Referee yelling at them to finish up the match. By the
way for other female Jeff Hardy fans, I can tell you that he does look
absolutely gorgeous in person. :-)

Regal came out to announce that the final match would be a No DQ match
between Triple H and Umaga. Triple H got the biggest pop of the night
and after using the sledgehammer and the wrestlers using other weapons
Triple H pinned Umaga with The Pedigree.

After the match Triple H hung around for awhile shaking fans with fans
etc.

Biggest Pops of the Night:
Triple H
Jeff Hardy
Mickie James
Brian Kendrick
Mr Kennedy

Biggest Heal Heat of the Night:
Randy Orton
Santino Marella
Umaga
Gene Snitsky
Jillian Hall for singing.
