WWE Supershow Results Rochester, NY - 9/5/2008 Report by Pat O’Bannon of WrestlingUncensored.com
The crowd is always super into the show tonight and that makes it alot more fun to attend. There was no CM Punk which really fucking pissed me off. No Jericho either. He could’ve at least came out and did a anti-HBK promo or something. Oh well, show was still damn good. We chilled in the parking lot before the show and saw Mark Henry/Tony Atlas, Primo/Carlito/Kofi, Kelly Kelly/Eve, Cryme Tyme, and Santino arrive.
Show started out with the ring announcer letting us know that we could text message a number they gave us to determine what kind of match Matt Hardy would be facing Mark Henry for the ECW Championship in. The choices were, Falls Count Anywhere, 2/3 Falls, or No DQ. Even if Falls Count Anywhere was the winner, you know they weren’t going to allow that.
Opening match was Evan Bourne vs. Chavo Guerrero. Bourne got the pin after a Shooting Star Press. Crowd was totally into Bourne. I don’t know if that was because he is the fucking man or if it was the first match of the night. Either way, crowd loved him. It was a good opener.
Eve then was introduced as our hostess for the night. She did some trivia with fans, they got the question right and got moved to front row for the rest of the show.
Santino Marella/Beth Phoenix vs. Kofi Kingston/Kelly Kelly for the IC and Women’s Titles was next. Crowd loved both Kofi and Kelly. Kofi went to Suplex Santino into the ring, while he was on the apron, but Beth who was knocked out of the ring by Kelly, held Kofi’s leg so Santino landed on top of him and got the pin.
William Regal vs. Primo Colon. Nobody was into this match. It seemed really long and was actually kind of boring. Primo hooked Regal in Backslide for the win. Fans got into the end of the match, but I think that was only because it was over.
Three Way Elimination Match for the US Title was next. Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito vs. R-Truth. Carlito did absolutely nothing in this match. I am having trouble even trying to figure out why he was apart of it. He was in the match for maybe 5 minutes, did nothing, then got rolled up by Killings and was eliminated. Carlito laid out Ron before he left the ring. Shelton and R-Truth just were not on the same wave length at all. Match was horrible. Maybe one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen live. I don’t know if The Truth got hurt or what but there was alot of stalling and alot of miscommunications. Shelton finally hit his finisher for the win. Horrible, horrible match.
Intermission was next. I ran to take a piss and boy am I glad I did because by the time I was done, there was people everywhere wanting to go potty.
Cody Rhodes/Ted Dibiase vs. Cryme Tyme for the Tag Titles was next. Ted cut a promo before the match basically saying they are so young yet have accomplished so much. Fans were in love with Cryme Tyme, the most over on the show so far. Chad took out Ted, but while the ref was trying to get JTG out of the ring, Cody came in and hit Gaspar with a DDT. Ted recovered and pinned him and Ted/Cody retained their titles. Fun match. Cryme Tyme might not be the best workers in the world, but the people fucking LOVE them, so thats got to count for something.
Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry w/Tony Atlas for the ECW Title was up next. Fans went bonkers for Matt. He overtook Cryme Tyme for biggest reaction so far. They announce that 60% voted for the No DQ match so thats what it was. They also announced that if Atlas puts his hands on Hardy, Henry loses the belt. The action went to the floor and Matt got ahold of a trash can. He hit Henry with it, but Henry made a comeback and threw the ring steps inside the ring. Mark went to kick Matt’s head into the steps but Matt moved and Henry kicked them instead. Henry grabbed a chair and tried to hit Matt with it, but Matt moved and hit the ropes, the chair bounced back and hit himself in the face. Crowd loved that. Matt hit a few big moves, got some nearfalls that totally got the fans thinking he was going to win. Matt grabbed the chair, Atlas came in the ring, grabbed the chair, but didn’t touch Matt. Hardy was distracted, Henry hit him with a Powerslam and pinned to retain the ECW Title.
Main Event: Rey Mysterio/Big Show/HHH vs. MVP/Kane/Khali. Crowd was a little confused and cheered Kane, very loudly even though he was on the heel side. Rey got a huge pop, but not on the same level as HHH. Crowd went INSANE for Hunter. Biggest pop of the night, easily. I’ve never seen Khali show as much personality as he did in this match. He actually gave MVP a fist bump, most likely because it wasn’t on TV, but still, it was weird to see him acting normal. He didn’t do much in the match for obvious reasons. Alot of the match was the heel trio working over Rey, making the crowd wait for the hot tag to HHH. It finally happened, crowd went insane. Ending saw all 6 men in the ring, Rey hit the 619 on MVP and Khali at the same time, Khali got dazed, HHH hooked him in the Pedigree while Big Show Chokeslammed Kane. HHH pinned Khali to win the match for his team.
Not a bad show overall. The Punk not being there really left a bad taste in my mouth, but I can see them not wanting him to get injured or whatever before the PPV. If I hear he is at the Supershow tomorrow in Jamestown, I am going to be pissed. I am glad though that I got to see Ted Dibiase. He is going to be a huge star in a few years. WWE returns to Western NY in December for the Armageddon PPV. I hope I can make it to that.
