1/22 WWE Smackdown in Kalamazoo: Edge defends the World Hvt. Championship twice, Wade Barett vs. Big Show, Alberto Del Rio vs. R-Truth, Cody Rhodes vs. "Showtime" Percy Watson
Jan 23, 2011 - 09:53 AM


WWE Smackdown live event
Kalamazoo, Mich.
Report by Dot Net reader Darren Persicke


I was told last night that presale tickets were 4,000. I got there 30 minutes before the show started and there was no walk up crowd. Still a good crowd for Kalamazoo. The fans love John Cena even at a Smackdown show.

1. Alberto Del Rio beat R-Truth via cross arm breaker. Usual match between these two. I still don't see what everyone sees in Del Rio.

Dolf Ziggler came out and cut a promo. He said Vickie Guerrero is giving him a title shot tonight after the Kane vs Edge fans choice match. The choices were two out three falls or a street fight. He said he's not waiting for the Royal Rumble and will be World Champion tonight.

2. JTG beat Tyler Rex. Rex had JTG up for his finisher but he fought out of it and rolled Rex up for the pin.

Rosa Mendez is the guest host. She dyed her hair black. She picked a kid from ringside to be guest bell keeper.

3. Trent Berreta beat Drew McIntyer via roll up. After the match Drew was giving Trent the post-match beat down and was going to hit him with a chair when Kelly Kelly came down for the save. She slapped Drew in the face then she slapped Trent in the face and left. Trent was DDT'd by Drew.

4. Cody Rhodes fought "Showtime" Percy Watson was a no contest. Cody came to the ring with a WWE doctor. Cody said Rey broke his nose last night on Smackdown and the doctor  confirmed it. Thus, Cody has to wear a nose guard to wrestle. Showtime didn't wear his glasses to the ring. During the match, The Corre came down and jumped Showtime. Cody rolled out of the ring and left. Wade cut a promo about what he and The Corre did the last two weeks and called out The Big Show.

5. The Big Show beat Wade Barret via chokeslam. Big Show had Wade up for the chokeslam and had to knock each member of The Corre off the ring apron before he chockslammed Wade for the pin.

Tony Chimmel put over some WWE merchandise and Rosa threw some t-shirts into the crowd and went to intermission. Same as every WWE house show.

6. Natalya and Beth Phoenix beat LayCool via submission. Kelly Kelly was guest referee. LayCool has to be the worst gimmick in WWE. Natalya won via double Sharpshooter on both members of LayCool. LayCool was putting the beat down on Kelly Kelly after the match when Hornswaggle came out for the save. He bit Layla in the butt and Michelle on the finger and then he gave LayCool a double stunner.

7. Chris Masters beat Jack Swagger in a Master Lock vs Ankle Lock Challenge. Masters won with the Masterlock. This was a better match than I was expecting from Masters. I still think Swagger should be a main eventer.

8. Edge beat Kane to retain the World Hvt. Championship in a Fans' Choice Match. Go figure, the street fight won over the two out of three falls match. This was the usual street fight. Kane missed Edge with a chair and Edge hit the spear for the win.

9. Edge beat Dolph Ziggler to retain the World Hvt. Championship. After the previous match, Ziggler came out and Zig Zagged Edge from behind. He got on the mic and said to start the match. Kane chock slammed Ziggler and left. Both men got to their feet at the same time and the ref called for the bell. Edge speared Ziggler and it was over with one move. Edge got the win and celebrated with the fans to close the show.

Biggest pop: The Big Show

Most heat: Wade Barrett and The Corre.
