WWE House Show Results (7/1): Hidalgo, Texas

[Big Hoss Rambler]

The House Show lasted 3 hours.

- Opening match was Sin Cara vs. Hunico. WINNER: Sin Cara after using his finisher.

- Santino beat Jack Swagger to retain his US Title. There wasn't much fighting in this one. They were mainly going back and forth with a handshake and taunts.

- Layla beat Natalya to retain her Divas Championship after using the Layout.

- Christian beat Cody Rhodes to retain the Intercontinental Title after countering a Disaster Kick into a Spear.

- Sheamus beat Alberto Del Rio to retain the WHC. Ricardo and Alberto were laughing at someones poster of Sheamus. Ricardo got it and ripped it up, but Matt Striker gave the fan a Sheamus Autographed Poster along with other posters to other fans.

- Kane beat Chris Jericho. Really good match and Y2J got a nice pop during his entrance, but was getting boo'ed during the match. Few "Y2J" chants as well.

- CM Punk beat Daniel Bryan in a Hidalgo Street Fight to retain the WWE Championship. AJ came out at the end to do her usual skipping around the ring to distract Bryan, allowing Punk to get the GTS.

- Primetime Players come out to challenge for the Tag Team titles. Kofi comes out and explains how Truth is out with an injury, but says he found a partner to help him defend the titles. Then we hear "WOO WOO WOO!" Huge pop there. Primetime Players actually manage to pin Kofi to win the titles, but a ref comes running down the ramp and tells the one in the ring how Kofi had his foot on the ropes and orders the match to restart. As soon as the bell rings again, Kofi hits Trouble in Paradise on O'Neil and Ryder a Rough Ryder on Young at the same time. Both go for a pin and the ref counts to 3 with both hands for Kofi to retain his and Truth's titles.

- John Cena beat Big Show inside a Steel Cage. The cage was pretty wobbly I must say. I felt like it was gonna collapse any moment. Cena got the biggest pop of the night. Cena and Show got really close calls by escaping through the door, but Cena managed to get the AA on Show for the win.

Biggest Pops:
1. John Cena
2. CM Punk
3. Sin Cara

Biggest Heat:
1. Big Show
2. Hunico
3. Cody Rhodes

Del Rio got mixed reactions. They started cheering him when he first came out, but then started booing after he insults the 5,000 sold out crowd.

I suppose there's a Hispanic fanbase there, right? Well, anyway, OK show.

Wow, heels can't even win in house shows.

 

[Leo C]

Sometimes they do.

Sometimes they do.

That's twice in a row now a face has won every single match, the heels should be dominant imo, people love to support an underdog.

I agree. In the Brazil house show I attended Otunga and Beth won cleanly, just that. But I think that since house shows are normally just to get some cash for attendance, test new things for TV and make the people in the audience happy, the faces just win, it's easier. But on TV it's different, the way it should be.

But tbh, most of the people who go to house shows are smarks, and they usually prefer heels winning so it's not pleasing them. Oh wait I forgot, most of WWE's viewers are 9 :angry:

WWE always books with that casual in mind, I suppose. They don't listen to the smarks or anything, they're stupid.

WWE listens to the majority, plus us smarks tend to never be happy.
