WWE SmackDown/ECW House Show Results (05/12/08) - Toledo, Ohio

Written by Joshua Henninger on May 14, 2008 - 7:26:54 PM

Before the show, Eve Torres gave four tickets to a kid's family for naming the current United States Champion correctly (Matt Hardy). Also, Howard Finkel was doing the announcing for the night, and announced three stipulations for the United States Championship match between Matt Hardy and MVP: a falls count anywhere match, a 2 out of 3 falls match, or a No DQ match. The crowd was more or less behind the No DQ match.

1. Kofi Kingston def. Shelton Benjamin with Trouble in Paradise. Crowd was mainly behind Kofi, and Shelton was a heat machine.

2. Natalya and Victoria def. Michelle McCool and Cherry after Cherry missed Natalya from the top rope. Very bland match.

3. Tommy Dreamer def. Mike Knox in a very short match. No real good moments during it.

4. Ted DiBiase Jr. def. Chuck Palumbo via DQ. The disqualification itself was a bit odd, since it came on Chuck railing Ted's groin on the top rope. Neither Chuck or Ted were that spectacular, but at least Ted knows the basics of wrestling fairly well.

5. Finlay (with Hornswoggle) and Jamie Noble def. Zack Ryder and Kurt Hawkins. Plenty of shenanigans came in this match, as Hornswoggle lost his shoe during the match (after coming into the ring and distracting both Ryder and Hawkins with a juggling act). Finlay came back in the ring, picked up his shoe, and tossed it into the crowd. End of the match came with a distraction to the referee by Hornswoggle, a Trailer Hitch from Noble to one of the Edgeheads, and a shillelagh from Finlay to the other Edgehead.

After the match, Finlay called for the kid who got Hornswoggle's shoe to give it back for his hat. The kid obliged, came into the ring, and ran around the ring with Hornswoggle after being given his hat.

-- Intermission --

6. The Miz and John Morrison def. Jesse and Festus to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship. Before the match, John Morrison and The Miz took off their shirts and did their best Rick Rude impressions. Also, John Morrison took his shirt that he had on and tied it over Festus' head so that John's face was easily viewable on his head (it was his "Beyond Good and Evil" shirt). Once the bell rang, Festus kept the shirt on his head as he chased The Miz out of the ring, and kept it on for about the first few minutes. When Festus finally took off the shirt, he did his own Rick Rude impression, which was very funny to say the least. Miz and Morrison win when The Miz distracts the ref and John Morrison hits Festus with his tag team belt.

Before the United States Championship match, Teddy Long came in and announced that the No DQ match was chosen with ~86% of the vote.

7. Matt Hardy def. Montel Vontavious Porter to retain the United States Championship. I didn't pay much attention to the match. The ending came with MVP attempting to hit Matt Hardy with the title, Hardy ducking and delivering the Twist of Fate to MVP.

8. The Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show def. Chavo Guerrero, Edge, and Mark Henry (w/ Bam Neely). The crowd was electric for Undertaker, and booed Edge heavily. The end comes with each of the winning side giving a choke slam to each of the losing side, and Taker giving Edge a Tombstone Piledriver.

Biggest Pops:
1. The Undertaker
2. Finlay (mainly because of Hornswoggle)
3. Matt Hardy

Biggest Heat:
1. Edge
2. Montel Vontavious Porter
3. Shelton Benjamin
