Going to tomorrow's RtWM house show in East Lansing, MI

[DAMN iNATOR]

Only things known for sure are:


World Heavyweight Championship - Fatal-4-Way
Edge (c) v. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes v. Rey Mysterio v. Alberto Del Rio (Yeah, I really wonder who's gonna win that one with just 1 week to Mania...:roll: [and a giant :foc: to anyone who says "you need to suspend your disbelief"...fuck that.])


Big Show appearance
Will update with results when/if I get a chance, if not tomorrow night, then hopefully while I'm on the following Sunday to fill out my WM tipsters or hopefully even several days before.

[Waylander]

You're going to look like a big idiot if Del Rio does win now.
Have fun at the show all the same.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

DAMN iNATOR? Look like an idiot? Why I will not hear of such things. Good day, sir.

[Juan]

Keep us posted

[CSL]

You need to suspend your disbelief!

[YoungFlyFlashy]

Post quality pictures of your WWE live experience or fuck your thread.

[VSG]

DAMN iNATOR can't afford a camera, don't mock him :'(

[Flash Funk]

Just got back from the GR house show, wont ruin anything because I know they run similiar shows. Will just say I had a great time, took my nephew to his first event.

[Jeritron]

Just think if it weren't only a week before Wrestlemania, that match could go either way. Houseshows are so much better during the summer and fall when titles are changing hands all over the place

[Gertner]

I hope you enjoyed your artistic combat experience.

[Schlomey]

I just put 50 dollars on Big Show actually not appearing and 75 dollars on Dashing winning the titile. I'd rather the main event at Mania be Rey vs Cody in a mask vs title match. That shit is still realz to me. I heart gambalin.

Pretty sure a World title would never change hands on a house show. In fact, the only time I really remember any title changing hands on a house show was when La Resistance won the tag titles years ago, and when Mickie James and someone fucked up in Paris and the women's title accidentally changed hands. Anyone know of more?

[Team Sheep]

Hardcore title doesn't count.

Shawn Michaels regaining the IC Title from Marty Janetty

Shawn Michaels & Diesel beating the Headshrinkers for the Tag Team titles.

Christian beat Booker T for the IC title at a house show as well due to injury

Another time, when the Steiners first got to WWF, they beat Money Inc at a house show, Money Inc beat them at a house show, then Steiners beat them again at another house show, all for the tag team titles of course.

Razor Ramon also beat Double J at a house show ladder match, then Double J regained it later on in the week at another house show.

Rob Terry won his Global Championship at a house show from Eric Young as well.

Amazing Red beat Jay Lethal for the X Division titles at a house show, then Jay Lethal regained it at a house show as well from Amazing Red

"ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE WWE!"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Used to happen loads until the dirt sheets.

Actually, it's not even the dirtsheets fault. There is no way that WWE can win with house show title matches.

1. Titles never change hands. Tardcore fans complain that it's predictable

2. Titles change hands but it's not recognised. Rarefied fans bitch that Max Minis run with the WWE title wasn't recognised

3. Titles change hands and it is recognised. Hardcore fans bitch that the titles have no prestige

The obvious answer is to not have title matches, but then their non-tardcore audience chills out at home since they don't want to go to the show to possibly see the title change hands, especially when you have a heel champ.

[Team Sheep]

I would but the fucking assholes don't allow cameras. :roll:

I highly doubt they don't let you bring a camera...

[One Eight Sven]

Hope you had a good time, man. I haven't been to a house show before.

[mike adamle]

I hope you had a terrible time!

[VSG]

Someone wants to turn heel in here?

[Juan]

Shut up VSG

[VSG]

It's hard to take you seriously after knowing how you look in real life.

[Juan]

Says the guy in the top 5 ugliest posters :lol:

[VSG]

lol I will give you that.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

SO WHO WON

[The Fugitive]

Did you boo the faces and cheer for the heels?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I highly doubt they don't let you bring a camera...

Couldn't bring one in last time. Tried to, and they confiscated it and held it in some sort of area where you check stuff in and get it back at the end of the show. Problem is too many digicams these days, which have all but made "analog"/film cameras obsolete, now have the ability to capture video, which obviously WWE doesn't like, as people could easily sneak in a cam w/video recording capability, record the entire show and attempt to make money off it, depriving them of whatever precious money they think they'd get out of something as minor and trivial as a house show. Anyway, onto the results, which will be spoiler tagged so as not to give away results of a show which may be coming to wherever in the next few days leading up to WM.







Kofi d. a bunch of other guys (Drew McIntyre, Tyler Reks, Christian and several others) to earn an IC title shot v. Wade Barrett later in the evening.
Wade Barrett d. Kofi later on to retain the IC title. Basically the same finish as last Friday on SD! where Barrett caught Kofi's Troube In Paradise attempt in midair, placed Kofi on his shoulders and hit Wasteland for the 3 count.
Layla & Kaitlyn d. Beth Phoenix & A.J. when Layla hit her finisher on A.J. for the pin (Beth was distracted with Kaitlyn outside the ring, and therefore helpless to stop it.)
WWE Tag Team Champions The Corre (Slater & Gabriel) d. Big Show & Kane via DQ when Ezekiel Jackson interfered and hit Show with his spear. Slater and Gabriel got chokeslams "in stereo" from Kane and Show post-match, and Zeke got a double chokeslam.
Jack Swagger d. Chris Masters via Submission with the Ankle Lock.
Christian d. Brodus Clay with a Tornado DDT from the turnbuckle.
"Showtime" Percy Watson d. Drew McIntyre after Drew was done bitching out the crowd about "USA!" chants, telling us all we're all at least a little Scottish, and other typical heel shit for about 5 minutes. Crowd seemed rather surprisingly into the match. Post-match saw Drew ambush Watson from behind and nail him with the Future Shock DDT.
Kelly Kelly appearance. She got 4 audience members for what later turned out to be a "dance-off" in the ring. Crowd voted on who was best, and the winner got to meet a superstar backstage.
World Heavyweight Champion Edge & Rey Mysterio d. Alberto Del Rio (no Ricardo tonight, folks) & Cody Rhodes. Match was slow getting started thanks to shenanigans being had with Alberto's scarf, and Alberto and Cody trying to "leave" the arena several times. Edge pinned Rhodes after hitting the spear.

[Team Sheep]

That must be the only building in the world that doesn't allow them then. Never been a problem for me or the thousands sitting around me at any WWE show I've been to, and that's quite a few now.

[Nightwing]

Bring a sign.

[Schlomey]

Shhhh he doesn't know its over yet.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That must be the only building in the world that doesn't allow them then. Never been a problem for me or the thousands sitting around me at any WWE show I've been to, and that's quite a few now.

Like I said, since it has a "video mode" (i.e., capable of recording video...), they wouldn't allow it in. Same with any other camera with those capabilities. They don't want people taping the show and giving it away free online, or worse trying to make a profit off their product, which is entirely understandable.

I noted someone had told me to bring a sign, which I had done Sunday, but never really got the chance to "use" it as there was no UT at the show. Did a pretty sweet little "checklist" of Taker's victims in his 18-0 streak and had HHH as #19. Tossed it afterwards, so unfortunately no pics of it will be forthcoming (it's just a useless, colored piece of cardboard with crappy Sharpie writing people, nothing to see, move along.)

[thedamndest]

Did they check every camera that was brought in to figure out which ones had video mode and which ones just took images? I don't see how that is logistically possible.

[CSL]

DAMN iT really wanted to see that pretty sweet sign

[DAMN iNATOR]

Did they check every camera that was brought in to figure out which ones had video mode and which ones just took images? I don't see how that is logistically possible.

Subject to a visual search. If you bring in any bags or containers or whatever they ask you to open them so you don't bring any "unapproved items". Well, long story short I had been carrying my camera in it's case, they asked to see it, figured out that it had a video mode and asked me to leave it at the check-in counter until end of show.

[Team Sheep]

Every digital camera has a record mode these days. Fucked up policy at that arena. Not a problem anywhere else.
