Billy Krotchsen called in the following results from the WWE Raw/ECW house show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island:
*WWE Intercontinental champion CM Punk defeated William Regal (with Layla). Great opening match as Regal was on his game tonight and looked better than he has of late. Lots of mat and technical wrestling. Regal controlled most of the match and used Layla to protect himself at one point. Punk got the pin with the GTS. The crowd was really behind Punk.
*Mike Knox pinned Goldust with his finisher. The crowd was behind Dust and were very anti-Knox. It was a decent back and forth match.
*WWE Women's champ Melina defeated Beth Phoenix (with Santino Marella) to retain the Women's title. Really good match. Beth made Melina kick herself with her own foot again. Crowd chanted for Santino during match. After the match, Santino grabbed the mic and called Melina a Chihuahua and said she got lucky. Marella made an open challenge to anyone in the back, that he's going to win and Glamarella will be on the winning side now. Boogeyman's music hits, he comes out and chases Beth and Santino to the back.
*Kane defeated Kofi Kingston. The crowd was behind both of them big-time. It was a good match between the two. Kane wins with a chokeslam.
*Dave Finlay (with Hornswoggle) defeated Mark Henry (with Tony Atlas) in a Belfast Brawl. They used trashcans and kendo sticks. Tony Atlas and Hornswoggle got involved at the end. Horny gave Atlas the tadpole splash. Finlay gets the win after giving Henry a hit with the Shillelagh. Afterwards, they brought 5 kids in to dance with them, crowd loved.
The show has gone to intermission.
*Kelly Kelly is the hostess for the event. She moved a family up to the front row for answering a trivia question and picked a guest timekeeper from the crowd.
*Teddy Long comes out and brings out Jack Swagger and says he's defending the title tonight against Christian. Crowd very much behind Christian. Lots of "Lets go Christian" chants. Really good match. Swagger wins to retain the title
*WWE champ Triple H & Shawn Michaels & John Cena defeated Randy Orton & Chris Jericho & Vladimir Kozlov. At first there was no HHH and Orton claimed on the mic that Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase had taken care of him. It started out as a handicap match. Late in the match, there was a ref bump. Orton teased the punt kick but Triple H's music came on. He hit the ring and tackled Orton. He grabbed a sledgehammer but Kozlov cut him off. HHH laid out Kozlov, then chased Orton off. Jericho teased hitting Michaels with a chair but HHH returned and teased hitting the sledgehammer. Jericho went to drop the chair and Michaels superkicked him. Jericho staggered into the FU for the pin. Good main event.
Notes: The place was a legitimate sellout. I checked on the way in and they literally only had the last row for sale....No announcement regarding Rey Mysterio, even though he was advertised up until the day of the show. That was tacky...Can someone please explain to me how this is the second straight Raw/ECW house show in the New York City area that doesn't feature Tommy Dreamer, who LIVES in the area?....I was surprised to see no cameo by Tazz tonight. Even though it was a Raw brand house show, he's from the area and you'd think they would have something for him to do.
