I just got back from the show in the Stockton
Arena here in Stockton,California. The advertised match with Triple H
and Orton didn't happen, of course. Lillian Garcia came out to the ring
as the Ring Announcer for the evening and Maria was also a Hostess for
the evening asking various Trivia questions and giving away free money.
It was funny because she came through the crowd and gave a kid a
special giveaway courtesy from Mr. Mcmahon. The kid ended up winning
$200 and his name was ironically, Santino. LOL. Anyways, when we were
walking to head in line, I seen Brian Kendrik of all people driving in
his car to figure out what side to get into the arena. I mentioned it
to everybody else and they were like "Who?". Lillian Garcia also
announced that we could text our vote to see what we wanted in the main
event later tonight which would either be a No DQ, 2 out of 3 Falls, or
a Falls Count Anywhere match.But, anyways lets get to the show. Our
opening contest was a Tag match for the World Tag Team Championships.
1)WWE World Tag Team Championships:Carlito/Santino vs Hardcore Holly/Cody Rhodes(c)
Santino and Carlito got mediocre crowd heat and I was bummed out
because Santino didn't get to entertain us by cutting a promo. Anyways,
Team Rhodes/Holly won, but I forgot what the finish was. Bleh Match.
Also to note, Santino was sporting a singlet wrestling outfit which are
basically the kind like what Kurt Angle wears.
Winners: Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly to retain Championships.
2) Ted Dibiase Jr. vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan
I was disappointed in this match, but due to who Ted had to face,
it was understandable. Boring match and nothing home to write about. A
Big dud. Prior to the match Ted Dibiase cut a promo to further gain
some heat. The crowd chanted for Duggan the entire time. Ted won with
his feet on the ropes.
Winner: Ted Dibiase
3) Brian Kendrik vs Snitsky:
There was a loud Brush your Teeth chant to Snitsky earlier on.
Brian got minimal offense and with the Surprise of the night defeated
Snitsky with the Sliced Bread finisher that he does. I was completely
shocked there, but it wasn't a big celebration afterwards when he got
stomped and battered.
Winner: Brian Kendrik
4) 2 on 1 Handicap Match: Super Crazy vs Katie Lea/Paul Birchill
Katie Lea is hot in person and really didn't get too much
offense. She was sporting a new outfit as well. Burchill destroyed
Crazy early on and they did the sequence where Crazy goes for a Bulldog
but ends up also placing his legs on top of Katie's Shoulders reversing
it to a Hurricanrana flip over take down. Katie's tights kept going
down and you could see a good view of her "Butt Crack" which was the
theme of the night.And, there in fact was a very LOUD chant for "Butt
Crack". Paul and Katie Lea takes the win when Burchill takes Crazy out
allowing for Katie to get the deciding pin.
Winners: Katie Lea and Paul Burchill
5) Trevor Murdoch vs Lance Cade:
Trevor Murdoch came out and talked about his differences with
Lance Cade and said this was Round 2 for them. Everyone in the crowd
urged him to sing, and he in fact did. What was funny was that he got
booed when he started singing, so I didn't know what the crowd wanted.
I was hoping for Jillian to show up and do a Duet with him, but thats
just wishful thinking. At one point in this match, Trevor Irish whips
Lance to the opposite corner and goes for a Elbow and knocks Lance's
teeth out. Lance wins with a roll up I believe.
Winner: Lance Cade
Maria was once again in the crowd and talked to some random kid.
She told him if he can Dance as crazy as Jeff can, then he can go down
to ringside and be a special ring announcer. Once he got down to the
ring, Lillian Garcia told him to look under the Ring bell and proclaim
his prize of $200.
6)WWE Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho(c) vs Jeff Hardy
Both guys came out to tremendous pops, but everyone turned on
Chris Jericho and was way over for Jeff Hardy. Every time Chris would
get offense they would boo him and I wasn't too happy with that! There
were certain points in the match where Jeff would be close to defeating
Jericho. Both guys hit most of their spots as Jeff got to hit his
Whisper in the wind. Later in the match, Chris counters a move and goes
for the Codebreaker for the deciding fall. Crowd loved this match and
it went on for about 8 Minutes.
Winner: Chris Jericho to retain Championship
After this, there was a brief Intermission. But, before that
Lillian announced that souvenirs will be handled out in the Stands out
in the Lobby. Maris was then in the crowd and gave away $200 to some
lady who she told to buy herself some souvenirs.
7)WWE Womens Championship: Mickie James(c) vs Beth Phoenix
Maria was once again in the crowd and gave this little girl an
opportunity to be the Manager/Valet for the Winner of the next match.
Beth Phoenix came out to mild Heat reaction and there was points in
this match where people said "Buffalo". Mickie James came out to a
Great reaction and she did indeed looked hot as ever. In the beginning
of the match where the Ref checks each Opponent for Weapons, Mickie
James places her legs on the ropes which got a great arouse from the
crowd. Hands down this was one of the Best matches of the Night because
they actually gave it some time and both were allowed to give it all
they had. Beth phoenix goes for her Fisherman's Suplex, but Mickie
James counters it to a Implant DDT for the victory. Also to mention,
Both Mickie and Beth had various "Butt Crack" moments as well. Mickie
James celebrates with the lucky fan and takes her to the back to get
more acquainted, I guess?
Winner: Mickie James to retain Championship
8 ) John Cena vs JBL:
Before the next match happened, JBL came out to the Biggest Heat of
the night. The crowd just ate him out alive and booed everything he
said. He basically took some shots on the Hispanics in the crowd saying
they're good for only picking Cherries and being his gardener. Whatever
came out of his mouth was priceless and he basically received so much
heat that you couldn't almost hear anything that he said. John Cena
came out to the Biggest pop of the night. The crowd was Pro-Cena the
entire time and couldn't stop keeping their trap shut. There were a foo
boos in the crowd which I was also a part of as well. Every time Cena
would get some offense and JBL would retaliate with heel antics, the
crowd booed him for that. Cena does his Five Knuckle Shuffle and does
the F.U for the easy win.
Winner: John Cena
For the Last time, Maria gave this Kid in the crowd $200 and told him
what stipulation would he liked to see for the next match. The kid said
he would like to see a No DQ and Maria ended up saying that that was
the deciding choice after all. Lillian also said that we were the
Loudest Crowd and hopes to come back in the near future.
9) WWE Championship Match: Triple H(c) vs Umaga aka (Umanga)
This match was like a huge spit fest because every time someone
would get punched, bulks of their spits would came out and hit the
crowd. They didn't use too much weapons, but the ones they used were
Trash Cans, a Chair, and a Sledgehammer. Triple H hits Umaga with a
Sledgehammer and goes for the Pedigree to win the match. Crowd loved
HHH and here I was hoping for an actual run-in by someone preferably
HBK.
Winner: Triple H to retain Championship
CLOSING NOTES:
The crowd was hot all night, but I think the first three matches were a
snoose fest for me. The entire Arena was sold out and there was no
empty seat in the house which should give WWE a good hint to come back
again this year. Katie Lea almost injured herself when she was tossed
out to ringside and landed her knee on the ground. Also, after Santino
and Carlito lost, Santino told Lillian to tell the crowd that he was Ok
which got a good laugh from me. Carlito also told Lillian to tell the
crowd that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States as well since I
think they were starting a USA chant prior to that. Speaking of USA,
the Crowd chanted that for most of the stuff, but chanted Mexico(
Meh-he-co) for Super Crazy. Nothing else to really note about, but the
Womens, Intercontinental, and WWE championship matches were my favorite
as well as the crowds favorites. John Cena is unbelievably Over tonight
as he's always been and I wouldn't be surprised if most people bought
their tickets to see him. Ugh. Some Great action tonight and some not
so great. But, the Brian Kendrik/Snitsky match was a really big shocker
for everyone because we all thought he was going to lose. Anyways, I
got my moneys worth and I would hope that they do come back. I didn't
get to take any videos of nothing which I was bummed about. It was
because one of the securities mentioned to us earlier on that we would
get kicked out if we were caught filming. We had pretty good seats as
well because below us were ringside seats. Anyways, onto the Stats of
the Night.
Loudest Pops:
1) John Cena
2) Jeff Hardy
3) Triple H
4)Chris Jericho
5)Mickie James
Loudest Heat:
1) JBL
2) Umaga
3) Snitsky
4) Chris Jericho
MUST SEE! Brand New Hot Pix of TRISH STRATUS!
