WWE Smackdown house show results
December 3, 2011
Augusta, Ga.
Report by Chris Cushman, PWTorch reader
Ring announcer Tony Chimel introduced General Manager Teddy Long. Long welcomed everyone to the show and announced the card for the night.
(1) Ted DiBiase defeated Jinder Mahal. Solid opener with the crowd really behind DiBiase. Lots of "Teddy" and "USA" chants throughout. DiBiase hit Dream Street for the win. After the match, Cody Rhodes attacked DiBiase.
(2) Tyson Kidd defeated Damien Sandow. Sandow is from FCW and was formerly known as Idol Stevens during his last run. It took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Sandow did a pretty good job getting heat (especially with the pink tights he was wearing). I think people were a little confused that Kidd was the face.
(3) Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater. Again, it took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Gabriel won them over with some impressive moves, including a variation of the 450 splash from the apron for the win.
Again, Cody Rhodes came out and attacked Gabriel after the match. This time, he jumped Gabriel as he was signing a fan's poster. After the attack, Rhodes cut a promo saying he could do this all night. For some reason, Hornswoggle came out, got in the ring, and got knocked down by Rhodes.
(4) Daniel Bryan defeated Hunico via submission. A really good back and forth match that saw Bryan lock on the LeBell Lock for the submission win.
(5) Booker T defeated IC champion Cody Rhodes via DQ in a title match; Rhodes retained the IC Title. Booker looked really good in the ring and really didn’t seem to miss a step. Booker missed the scissors kick a couple of times before landing the Book End. This led to Rhodes rolling out of the ring and grabbing his belt. As Booker approached Rhodes, he popped him with the belt for the DQ.
After the match, Booker and Rhodes continued the fight, with Booker getting the upper hand and finally hitting the scissors kick. He then called out Hornswoggle, who came out and hit the tadpole splash on Rhodes. Hornswoggle and Booker T then did the spin-a-roonie much to the crowd’s delight.
Kaitlyn was out next as the special host for the night. She announced a dance contest with the winner getting to go backstage. The contestants were a guy, two girls (one dressed in military uniform), and a kid. The guy got the biggest support, but since it was so close, Kaitlyn said they all won and got to go backstage.

(6) A.J. & Alicia Fox defeated Natalya & Rosa Mendes. Pretty good match. I can see A.J. having a Mickie James type career if given the right chance (or push). The finish was Fox pinning Mendes following an impressive flip into a leg drop.
(7) Sheamus defeated Wade Barrett in a Street Fight. The main weapons used were chairs and a kendo stick. The finish was Sheamus escaping Wasteland and hitting the Brogue Kick for the win.
(8) World Hvt. champion Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton in a cage match to retain the World Title. Orton got by far the biggest pop of the night. The finish saw Orton hit the RKO on Henry, and it appeared that he was on his way out of the cage when Wade Barrett ran in to prevent Orton's escape. Henry then walked right out as Barrett continued his assault.
Afterward, Henry rejoined the fight and the two worked over Orton until Sheamus made the save. Orton and Sheamus cleared the ring and posed for the crowd to send everyone home happy.
Really good show tonight. It was my son’s first WWE event and he had a blast. We got to the arena early to try to meet some of the wrestlers. Hunico came over and signed autographs and posed for pictures for everyone. Hornswoggle blew everyone off (same as he did the last time I saw him), which really disappointed the kids.
Biggest Pops:
(1) Randy Orton
(2) Sheamus
(3) Booker T
Most Heat:
(1) Mark Henry
(2) Cody Rhodes
(3) Wade Barrett | |
