WWE Raw house show
Fresno, Calif.
Report by Dot Net reader David Weber of Fresno

The arena was about 90 percen full, which I was not expecting since in recent years house show attendance has be low here.

1. Evan Bourne beat William Regal with the Shooting Star Press.

The Bella Twins came out to ask a trivia question to be the guest bell ringer. The question was name two matches for WrestleMania. The first kid was wrong, and even Justin Roberts tried to correct him to give him another shot but the kid was honest and said he was wrong. So they gave a chance to another kid and he got it.

2. Christian beat Carlito with the Killswitch. Both guys cut funny promos on eachother before the match.

A Masterlock challenge was announced and Santino came out to answer. But Santino didn't want to do it because he said Masters has already beat him in it before, so they had a match instead.

3. Santino Marella beat Chris Masters. A quick pin surprising Masters. Chris put Santino in the Masterlock after the match that drew some boos and he released it. He then apologized to and hugged Santino.

4. Yoshi Tatsu beat Chavo Guererro after a kick to the head. Easily the most boring match of the night as the crowd didn't get into it at all.

5. Randy Orton beat Legacy in a handicap match. RKO on Cody for the win. After the match Ted jumped on Randy but also got the RKO. Randy then did his classic arms up pose on the top rope. To me this was the best worked match of the night and was fun to watch. Hopefully they do it at wrestlemania. A strange note but Legacy got a decent face pop when they made their entrance.

The Bella Twins came out again to throw shirts to the crowd before intermission.

6. Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim beat Maryse and Alicia Fox. Kelly actually gave the stink face to both of her opponents during the match, nice...Kelly got the win with her K2 leg drop on Fox.

7. The Miz beat Kofi and MVP in a Triple Threat to retain the U.S. Title. Miz cut a promo to get lots of heat before the match. MVP hit the playmaker on Kofi then Miz ran in and threw him out to get the pin on Kofi.

Hornswoggle came out and threw glow sticks in the crowd and pulled some kids in the ring to run with him.

8. DX and John Cena beat Jack Swagger, Shamus and Batista. The faces won after a finish move spot-fest that saw Cena hit Attitude Adjustment on Batista, then HHH got the pedigree on Sheamus, and Swagger took Sweet Chin Music and finally the Attitude Adjustment for the win.
