WWE Live Events 8/16 WWE in Cape Girardeau: Big Show vs. MVP, Mickie James and Gail Kim vs. Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes, Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston vs. Carlito for the U.S. Title By Jason Powell Aug 17, 2009 - 10:30 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing WWE Raw house show Cape Girardeau, Mo. at the Show Me Center Report by Dot Net Member Air Force Rambis Maybe 1,500 people were there. Smallest crowd I've ever seen at the arena. Very surprising. Half of the top level was tarped off. Lots of '80s music playing before the show. Not sure why, but I was really thrown off by it. Also, why do people bring signs to house shows? 1. Santino Marella defeated Chavo Guerrero. After a Hornswaggle distraction, Santino wins with a rollup. Lots of Santino comedy here. 2. Primo defeated Alex Reilly. Pre-match promo that was pretty good by Reilly. He ultimately jobbed to Primo's flying bodysplash of doom. 3. The Miz defeated Jamie Noble. Miz cut an awesome promo about how awesome he was and how much Cape sucked. Great heat. Miz won with his version of the Stroke. 4. Evan Bourne defeated Jack Swagger. MVP came down, distracted Swagger, and Bourne hit the Shooting Star Press. Unlike past Raw's, this match last longer than 2:47. 5. Kofi Kingston defeated Carlito to retain the U.S. Title. Trouble in Paradise won it. Carlito has a lot of hair, A LOT. Before intermission, some kids came in, threw shirts. And much like Jason Powell's show, the shirts made it only five rows back. The rest of us were screwed. 6. Mickie James and Gail Kim defeated Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes. Mickie was super over. She hit the chick kick to win it. 7. Big Show defeated MVP. Short match that saw Show shrug off everything MVP did, then chokeslammed him. Swagger came down afterward and hit the gutwrench powerbomb on MVP. 8. John Cena and Triple H and Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes. I can only assume this was the end of the show. I left early because I just couldn't stand to watch any of those guys wrestle AGAIN. Cena was super over and Orton was receiving mega heat as I left. Overall a pretty bland show. I mean I did leave early, so that's pretty telling. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
