WWE Daily

Wrestling News World reader Tom Skulley sent in the following report:

At least 3,500 in attendance which is a good crowd for this area.

Opening Match— R Truth defeated Shelton Benjamin with his spinning finisher. Not a bad opening bout as R Truth had the Whats Up chant going. This guy needs a push.

Second Match — Finlay defeated Drew McIntyre, a local guy, with the celtic cross. Finlay had the shilleleigh but was not used in the match.

Third Match — The Great Khali def. Dolph Ziggler. Khali received a nice pop from the crowd and had a smile most of the match. He works much better as a face.

Fourth Match — Hart Dynasty w/Natalya def Crime Tyme. Nice back and forth tag match. Sitting in the front row Natala was 3 ft away from me the entire match. Looks like HD and her and still honing their craft and are getting better. Nice addition to the ECW roster.

Fifth Match —- ECW Championship Tommy Dreamer def Christian. Love Dreamer and started many E-C Dub chants! However Tommy is so slow in the ring. Christian carried the match even though they did have a nice sequence toward the end where they reversed several moves. Dreamer won with the DDT and the two shook hands after the match.

Intermission — 2 kids came in the ring with Justin Roberts and threw out some T shirts and Jeff Hardy arm bands to the crowd.

Sixth Match — Divas six women tag. Special guest referee Maria. Melina, Gail Kim, and Eve def Natalya, Alicia Fox, and Layla. Nice to see them send 7 divas to a house show. The Divas division has really improved over the past year or two and nice to see them get some work. Melina pinned Alicia Fox with her finisher.

Seventh Match — Intercontinental Championship Chris Jericho vs John Morrison. Two really good workers here and not a bad match. Morrison was able to get out of the walls of Jericho. Jericho got some good heat by berating the crowd before the match. Jericho won unfairly with his hands on the ropes. I Would have preferred a clean finish.

Main Event — Triple threat for the World Heavyweight Championship Edge vs Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk Edge traded ribs with one of the ringsiders which was entertaining. Only downside to this (with any triple threat) is most of the match there were only 2 guys in the ring with the other outside. Jeff Hardy hit the swanton on Edge then CM Punk gave Jeff Hardy the GTS for the win.

Really good house show. Was pleasantly surprised just about all the top guys there. First time Smackdown/ECW had been to town in a few years.
