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.
