*It kicked off with Santino vs. Chavo
Just the usual Santino comedy routine which the crowd loved. Chavo got some good heat during the match especially when he did the Eddie taunt. Santino won when he hit Chavo in the face and did a rollup. As he was leaving he blew kisses to the crowd.

*next up was Johnny Curtis vs. Paul Burchill
Johnny cut a small promo before the match saying how we are going to see great things from him. I didn't see anything. Burchill comes out with a nice pop. Curtis worked on Burchill's left arm and anytime Burchill tried to get the upper hand he would go right back to that arm. Burchill finished off Curtis with the jackhammer. As Curtis walked out I got the crowd to start chanting "Who are you?". nice.

*Evan Bourne/Mark Henry vs. Legacy
I think I was the only person in my section to cheer for Legacy. Bourne got a very little reaction. Henry was over as hell huge pop. It started with Bourne and Dibiase. Bourne layed in the kicks to DiBiase's leg and he went to the outside where he regrouped with Cody. When Ted got back into the ring he took control of Bourne. Solid tagging between Legacy as they worked on Bourne. Finally Bourne got a tag to Henry who came and and cleared house but Legacy pulled a double team on Henry and the same situation as before was done. Bourne got back in and worked on Cody. Bourne heads to the top and hits the Shooting Star on Cody but Ted breaks up the pin. Bourne and Henry thrown Ted to the outside in which Henry follows. Cody hits Bourne with the Crossroads and gets the pinfall. Henry/Bourne get a good ovation as they leave.

*Triple Threat Match for the US Tile
Miz vs Swagger vs Masters. Miz/Swagger got some good heat as Masters come out to a decent pop. It started with Miz/Swagger double teaming on Masters then eventually turned on each other when they tried to pin one another. Miz of course won by pinning Swagger following a Skull Crushing Finale.

*there is a brief intermission in which I purchase some tasty nachos

*Gail Kim comes out and someone in the audience has a chance to be a special guest "bell ringer". question was how many superstars are in the Royal Rumble? Some little kid won. oh well. Next up was MVP vs. Big Show. MVP got a huge pop as well as the Big Show. Pretty slow match since Big Show mostly dominated the match. MVP did get some offence in like his "Ballin" elbow. Big Show got the finish with the chokeslam.

*Next was a merchandise promo. Hornswoggle came out and threw t-shirts and glow sticks into the crowd. Nice little segment for the kiddies.

*next was Alicia Fox/Maryse vs The Bellas
I didn't really see this match b/c I had to piss and I thought this was a good time to go do that. I came back and all I know is that the Bellas won the match.

*Next was what I thought was the match of the night...Kofi vs Orton
A good solid match. Kofi with a huge pop and Orton got some great heat and once again I was the only person in my section who cheered for Orton. Match wasn't too different than any of their last encounters. Orton getting some good heat when he said he hated Tennessee. I agreed with him. It looks like he was going to walk out of the match but instead he got back into the ring and was instantly dominated by Kofi. Kofi got some good shots in on Orton and managed to hit his "Boom Boom" leg drop. Kofi connected with Trouble in Paradise but Orton fell out of the ring. Kofi got him back in and only got a 2 count. Kofi went for the irish whip but Orton countered it into his backbreaker. Orton set up and connected with an RKO but only got a 2 count. Orton went to the corner and set up the punt but he missed and Kofi went for the TIP and Orton ducked and connected with a 2nd RKO for the 3 count. Awesome finish and everyone chanted Kofi's name after the match.

*It was time for the main event and it was for the WWE
Sheamus come out to a good amount of heat. I cheered of course. He got on the mic and stated he was the WWE champion and can beat anybody on the Raw roster and challenged anyone in the back to come face him. Out comes Triple H. The crowd went through the roof. I was actually surprised he came out to his "Game" music rather than DX's but anyway. The match started off with a staredown and a show of strength which Sheamus was coming out on top of these exchages. Triple H got the upper hand and laid into Sheamus then knocking him out of the ring. When Triple H went outside that is where Sheamus took control. Ramming Trips into the ring steps and the ring post. Sheamus kept rolling in and out of the ring to stop the 10 count. Finally they got back into the ring and Trips made a comeback with a clothesline and then the high knee then the facebuster. He went for the Pedigree but Sheamus powered out and hit his bicycle kick then went for his razor's edge powerbomb. Triple H countered and hit the spinebuster. Sheamus rolled out of the ring and grabbed a chair. When he got back in the ref tried to take the chair but Sheamus jerked it back sending the ref outside. Sheamus missed the chairshot on HHH and it was pedigree time. This time HHH connected and went for the pin and another ref ran down to the ring and started the count. Before the new ref's hand hit the mat for the 3, the old ref called for the bell. HHH's music hits and he grabs the belt and holds it up. The new ref takes the title from HHH and gives it to Sheamus and then it is announced that HHH won by DQ. HHH was pissed and he went outside and got his sledgehammer. I yelled "Vintage HHH" and he laid out Sheamus to close the show.

It was funny b/c when Sheamus was walking back one of the security guys got hit in the face with a cup. Good god he was pissed.

The main event looked really planned out for just a house show! Hope they go somewhere with this, and Dx splits up for good this time..

I'd be pissed if Sheamus was in a main event at a show I went to.

There were so many little kids there with their Cena shirts but there was no Cena.

So I guess the rumors of a Hunter/Sheamus feud are true.

Sounded like a good show.

I'm sorry but Vastardikai's house show sounded way better.

The fact that the match happened at all intrigues me, especially when Sheamus is only up against midcarders at best on TV (at least until Orton now).

They could have had him win again with Bourne, but they had HHH come out to The Game theme, and after tonight's Raw I predict that CM Punk + Gallows to be the new Straight Edge Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champs (Wow Toni Chimel will die announcing that!)

Jayman.....i've got several shows coming up in the Indy area for WWE over the next 6 months....one RAW and one house show to be exact...how much are house show tickets going for these days....what did you pay and for what level of seating compared to closeness to the ring?? I'm curious cause the last time I went to a live wrestling event was like 8 years ago and have no clue what tickets cost these days.

The Jayman

We were like 40 feet from ringside and our tickets were $40 each

ringside was $50 a piece. By the time I got mine they were sold out so I went with the next closest seat
