WWE Raw House Show Results: 3/14/10, Bakersfield, CA
The crowd was into the show from the very get go. It had been forever since I had gone to a live WWE event, I had forgotten how much people mark out at live events.
1st Match
Evan Bourne def. William Regal with the Air Bourne. That move is even more awesome to see live than it is on TV. William Regal got a ton of heat and Evan Bourne was over with the fans, although I attribute it to more of a hatred for Regal.
2nd Match
Christian and Yoshi Tatsu def Carlito and Chavo Guerrero. Christian hit the Killswitch on Chavo for the win. Carlito and Chavo were hilarious as they yelled back at heckling fans during the match. Christian got a big pop and surprisingly crowd even got a Yoshi chant going which seemed to surprise even Yoshi himself.
Chris Masters comes out to attempt his Masterlock Challenge against Legacy. Rather quickly Legacy pummels Masters who’s helped to the back and then Legacy gets on the mic to challenge Randy Orton to a match. While Legacy is on the mic there is a commotion in the crowd turns out NFL linebacker Joey Porter just showed up. I was wondering why there was a whole row of empty seats in the front row, guess I just found out.
3rd Match
Handicap Match
Randy Orton def Legacy after Orton RKO’s Cody Rhodes for the win. Dibiase attacked Orton after the match but Orton ends up hitting him with the RKO as well. Randy came out to a huge pop.
Short Intermission after the Bella Twins throw some shirts into the audience. Bunch of the crowd heads towards Joey Porter to get autographs and pictures, he seemed to be enjoying it though and didn’t turn anyone away.
4th Match
Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim def Maryse and Alicia Fox after Kelly Kelly hits a legdrop on Alicia while Alicia is on all fours is best way to describe it. Crowd was into it as Kelly Kelly and Maryse were trying to one up each other and get the bigger pop by posing for the crowd.
5th Match
Triple Threat U.S. Title Match
Miz def MVP and Kofi Kingston after Miz pins Kofi only after he threw MVP out of the ring right after MVP hit the Playmaker on Kofi. The Miz had a ton of heat on him and has a ton of talent on the mic. Kofi is a hell of an athlete and MVP is well MVP I don’t see him as anything more than a midcard talent.
Hornswoggle came out and invited some kids into the ring and they chased him around the ring for a few minutes, the crowd loved Hornswoggle.
6th Match and Main Event
6 Man Tag
D-X and John Cena def Batista, Jack Swagger, and Sheamus after Shawn Michaels hits Swagger with Sweet Chin Music who then stumbled into an Attitude Adjustment by Cena who covered Swagger for the win. D-X was way over of course and HHH made a bunch of jokes about Sheamus before the match. Cena got the biggest pop of the night which wasn’t surprising since there was orange Cena shirts everywhere. Batista had a bunch of heat on him and he played the part well as he rolled out of the ring repeatedly at the beginning of the match and was yelling at fans. Sheamus was also getting heat but I’m still not sure if it’s because everyone is bitter he got pushed into the title picture so quickly or if he has legit heat. Was interesting to see Jack Swagger in the main event made me think maybe he’s going to win the Money in the Bank Match at Wrestlemania.
Overall a really good show and has me looking forward to Wrestlemania.
