The arena is 80% full
1. R-Truth and the Great Khali (with Natalya) vs. Primo and Epico (with Rosa Mendez)
Khali is friggin' HUGE. Standard lucha stuff from Truth and the others. Regular giant stuff from Khali. The crowd was really into Khali. Primo and Epico spent a lot of time working on Truth for the eventual hot tag. Truth and Khali win via Khali's chop. The match was a fun opener
Tony Chimel announces the main event Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio Last Man Standing match. We are then told to vote whether Ricardo Rodriguez can stay at ringside or he has to leave.
2. Alicia Fox vs. Layla
Layla has new hair. Alicia Fox kissed a kid at ringside but refuse to kiss a fat guy two seats away. Layla kissed the fat guy. Layla won with a springboard cross body. Match was okay.
3. Ted Dibiase (he still works here?) vs. Fandango
Everyone cheered when Fandango came out but then try started booing him eventually. Fandango used a lot of dance moves to draw heat. As long as creative doesn't neuter him, Fandango should be fine. Fandango wins with a flatliner. Not sure what they're gonna call his finisher yet. Match was fine for what it was supposed to do.
4. Jack Swagger (with Dirty Zebediah Mantell Colter) vs. Justin Gabriel
Swagger and Zeb cut a promo about their whole "We the people" spiel. Swagger won with the Doctor Bomb and the ankle lock. Lots of heat for Swagger and Coulter.
5. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton
Henry got a fairly positive reaction during his entrance. Orton got a huge pop. Lots of strong man stuff early on. They then did a couple of count-out teases. The match was all Henry early on. Orton started the comeback after the DDT through the ropes, he was looking for the RKO when Henry rolled out and grabbed a chair. Orton chased after him and got nailed with the chair for the DQ. Henry went to hit him again and Orton knocked the chair out of his hand and hit the RKO to a huge pop. Match was all Henry getting heat until the finish. Orton high-fived fans sitting ringside on his way out.
15 minute intermission
6. Intercontinental Championship: Wade Barrett vs Bo Dallas
Dallas got no reaction whatsoever. Probably because no one's seen him in a month. It was mostly Barrett beating Dallas up then Dallas makes a comeback, then a bunch of big slams for 2 counts. Dallas went for an axe handle and ate Barrett's elbow for the pin. Barrett retains. Good for what it was. Lots of falsies at the end.
7. WWE Tag Team championship: Team Rhodes Scholars (I thought they broke up?) vs. Team Hell No
Sandow cuts a promo burying La Crosse. Hell No got a huge pop when they came out. Sandow and Rhodes wanted nothing to do with Kane. Miscommunication between Kane and D-Bry lead to an argument. They go to hug but Rhodes Scholars break it up an take control on D-Bry. Hot tag to Kane. A couple of falsies lead to Bryan getting the LeBell Lock and Kane hitting the chokeslam for the pin. Post match Bryan wants his tag title belt but Kane won't give it to him. He threatens to leave and then Kane gives it to him and they hug it out. Awwwwwww...Bryan is hilarious by the way.
9. World Heavyweight Championship: Last Man Standing
Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
The fans say that Ricardo stays!!! (Whoop-de-doo)
All Big Show to start. They use sticks and steel chairs come into play, as does a table. They prop the table in the corner. Big Show goes for a power bomb and Del Rio reverses into a Rana through the table and big Show doesn't get up. Del Rio wins. The match was nothing special.
Overall the show was fun.
