July 5, 2008 Smackdown/ECW House Show
Albany Civic Center
Albany, Georgia

Match One: WWE Tag Champions John Morrison and The Miz vs Jesse and Festus
Festus comes out sporting a bandage around his head and is in the match for the majority. A high paced back and forth opener with the champions going over with Morrison hitting a springboard kick on Festus into a sunset flip by Miz.
Winner: John Morrison and The Miz

Match Two: Mr. Kennedy vs Mike Knox
Kennedy spends about five minutes hyping up the crowd before having a slower paced match with Knox with Knox getting in most of his offense before Kennedy attempts the Mic Check once, gets it reversed and then counters back into the Mic Check again.
Winner: Mr. Kennedy

Match Three: Shelton Benjamin vs Ron "The Truth" Killings
For the first five minutes or so of the match, not that many people knew who Ron Killings was but the two men stalled for about ten minutes before actually locking up. Shelton Benjamin maintains control for most of the match with Killings not working in much of his offense from TNA. Killings mostly used counters and one spin kick. In what was the worst match of the night, these two missed a few spots but Benjamin goes over with his finisher.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin

Match Four (for the United States Championship): Umaga vs MVP vs United States Champion Matt Hardy
Match starts with MVP trying to coerce Umaga into teaming up with him to attack Matt Hardy and then trying to coerce Hardy into helping him beat Umaga. Very little action during the match with all three men in the ring at the same time. Each man took a bump to the floor where they sat there for a minute or two and watched the other two men wrestle. Each man got in most of their moves in a twenty minute match with Matt Hardy winning on a Twist of Fate on MVP.
Winner and still United States Champion Matt Hardy

15 minute intermission

Match Five: The Great Khali vs Evan Bourne
This match took less time than it did for Khali to walk out to the ring. Bourne runs at Khali, gets chopped and then Khali Bomb. End of Story.
Winner: The Great Khali

Match Six: Victoria and Natalya vs Cherry and Maria
This match was actually a pretty good match except for one messed up neckbreaker by Victoria. Cherry is in the ring the majority of the match taking the assault from Victoria and Natalya until Maria gets the hot tag and clears house. The match ends with Natalya pummeling Cherry on the outside of the ring and not paying attention to Maria hitting a bulldog on Victoria.
Winners: Cherry and Maria

Main Event: The Big Show and Finlay w/ Hornswoggle vs ECW World Champion Mark Henry and Chavo Guerrero w/ Bam Neely
Match starts off with Finlay and Chavo going hold for hold for a few minutes. Every time that Big Show gets in the ring Mark Henry refuses to tag in. Bam Neely attempts to interfere and is knocked down by Finlay and Big Show and Hornswaggle hits the Tadpole Splash on him. The match breaks down from there and Big Show wins for his team with a chokeslam on Mark Henry. To conclude the show, Big Show does a Hulk Hogan impersonation where he tears his shirt, does the Hogan poses and does a voice imitation of Hulk Hogan and then dances with Finlay and Hornswoggle.

Overall a decent show but lacking star power missing Jeff Hardy, Edge, and Triple H.

My name is Dennis Spencer and i'm a big fan of the WWE. I just got back from the house show that I attended at the Albany Civic Center in Albany, Ga. It was a great show. The arena was partially full. It had some great matches. Teddy Long was there telling us what the matches will be. Here they are:

Mr. Kennedy vs Mike Knox Winner: Mr Kennedy via the Mic Check.

Shelton Benjamin vs Ron Killings Winner: Shelton Benjamin via reverse bulldog

Triple Threat Match for the WWE US Heavyweight Championship: MVP vs Umaga vs Matt Hardy Winner: Matt Hardy via Twist of Fate on MVP. Before the match, Eve Torres came out to a fan and if the fan answered the question correctly, they got to be Matt Hardy's manager for the evening.

Divas Tag Match: Maria & Cherry vs Victoria & Natalya Winners: Maria & Cherry when Maria hit the bulldog on Victoria for the win

Squash Match: The Great Khali vs Evan Bourne. Winner: Khali via doublechokeslam. This match was over in less than 2 minutes.

After the match, Big Show hung around to take pics and sign autographs for fans. I will also be attending the house shows in Savannah & Augusta, Ga next weekend so if you want to give me a report of that, I will.
