Report by Pablo, PWTorch reader

The Arena VFG was about 75 percent full capacity. Lilian Garcia welcomed us in Spanish, saying we should look forward for a great show tonight.

(1) IC champion Christian beat Cody Rhodes to retain the Intercontinental Title. Good reception for Christian; some heat joined by cheers from the ladies for Cody Rhodes. The match started with both men fooling around, trying to get the crowd behind them, which Christian won. Christian then won the match with the Killswitch.

(2) Drew McIntyre beat Yoshi Tatsu. McIntyre was received with cheers from the crowd; there was no reception at all for Tatsu. McIntyre won with his Double-Arm DDT.

(3) The Great Khali beat Jinder Mahal. No reaction at all for Mahal, while there were cheers for Khali. Mahal tried some kicks to Khali's legs, but Khali ended up winning with a double-hand chokeslam.

(4) Big Show beat Ezekiel Jackson. Show made his entrance to a huge pop, but he cut a promo (using Lilian as a translator), saying that he doesn't like us anymore, and that he is going to destroy Cena at the No Way Out PPV.

(5) U.S. champion Santino Marella beat Jack Swagger to retain U.S. Title with Mick Foley as special guest referee. Foley was introduced as a referee, but ended up more as a manager for Marella. Usual Marella match, with spots for the crowd and finishing with a Cobra. Afterward, Foley put on his sock and gave Swagger the Mandible Claw. Note: There was no crowd reaction for Foley, which, personally, upset me.

(6) Randy Orton beat Kane in a No DQ match. Huge pop for Orton. Nice match; they used a kendo stick and several chairs. Orton won with an RKO.

(7) Divas champion Layla beat Natalya to retain the Divas Title. Normal Divas match, but there was a nice spot where Layla did a scissors head, followed by a good roll-up.

(8) Sin Cara & Tyson Kidd beat Hunico & Camacho. Huge pop for Hunico and Camacho, until they told us that they didn't like the fact that Sin Cara represents Mexican people, when he should be the one to do that. Kidd made his entrance to no reaction; Sin Cara came out to a huge pop. Nice match, probably the show-stealer. Nice lucha spots, with a tope from Hunico and several huracanranas from Cara. Cara won with La Mistica on Hunico.

Lilian thanked us all for attending, and said WWE will return in October; she said it was time for the main event.

(9) World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio in a Triple Threat match to retain the World Hvt. Title. Mixed reception for Bryan (he joined me in shouting "Yes! Yes!"). Huge pop for Del Rio, and he didn't do any promo. Huge pop for Sheamus. The match included nice spots with enziguiris from Del Rio and a Yes! Lock from Bryan on Sheamus. But, Sheamus won with a Bicycle Kick on Bryan.

Biggest Pops: Sheamus, Orton, Del Rio, Sin Cara.

Biggest Heat: Show (after his promo), Hunico (after his promo).

I would love to see a lot of these matches.

Especially the IC, Divas, and WHT matches.

This house show seemed really good.
