WWE house show report 7-21 Anaheim
by Guy Bogard
Just got back from the Raw show in Anaheim.It was a good show with 3 very good matches.
Super Crazy pinned Sylvan in 5:17.
Sylvan has bleached hair and Maryse was his valet.They had a good look together and both spoke in French before the match.Crazy was popular due to the large Hispanic contingent in attendance.Average opener.
Sandman & Jim Duggan beat Carlito & William Regal when Duggan pinned Carlito in 8:07.Carlito got a big face pop for his entrance and Sandman came through the crowd.Not very good although the crowd still enjoyed it.
Val Venis pinned Santino Marella in 6:04
Santino played heel and not much heat.
Cade & Murdoch retained the tag titles in a 3 way elimination over London & Kendrick & Haas & Benjamin in 15:02.A very good match.They did a cool spot where Benjamin grabbed London's leg while he was going for a diving tag.London did a great job in struggling for about a minute with Benjamin holding on until London finally kicked him and made the tag.Kendrick pinned Haas with sliced bread#2 and then Cade pinned London with his sit out spinebuster.London & Kendrick got decent applause after the match.They may have been teasing a break up as Kendrick seemed to walk back on his own leaving London in the aisle.
Candace pinned Melina in 8:38 to retain the women's title.I think these two overachieved.
Umaga pinned Jeff Hardy in 12:46 to retain the IC title.
Besides Cena,Hardy was the most over guy on the show and this match had the heat of a big show main event.If they do the same match tomorrow it will be very good.Crowd bought a few of Hardy's near falls before he was pinned by the spike.
Lashley pinned Mr. Kennedy in 9:41 with the spear.Average.
Cena pinned Orton in 24:20 with Ricky Steamboat as ref.
Another very good match with a ton of heat.Finish saw Steamboat get bumped and Orton hit the rko.Another ref ran out but Cena kicked out which got the biggest pop of the show.Orton decked the ref.Steamboat got back up and Orton shoved him so Steamboat chopped him and Cena hit the FU.They had a staredown with Cena & Lashley.Cena did a promo where he put over Lashley and the crowd was chanting what at him.He then talked about how seven years ago he was in the hallways of this same arena handing out flyers for UPW shows.He said that tonight's attendance was 16,000 and broke the arena's attendance record.If it was sold out then a lot of people didn't show up as I'd say the place was 80% full max including empty seats on the floor.
Take care,

You lose to Val Fucking Venis on a house show.
