I can't copy and paste from there, so I'll sum up quickly.

Regal opened by giving a set up number for people to text whether they wanted HHH vs. Umaga in the ME to be a cage, No DQ, or Street Fight.

DH Smith def. Santino

Snitsky def. Drew Mcintyre

Vladimir Kozlov def. Super Crazy

Triple threat:
Baldcore/Cody def. Londrick, C+M in a 3 way.

Y2J def. Randy Orton via DQ

Glamazon/Melina def. Maria/Mickie

Jeff Hardy def. Mr. Kennedy

Steel Cage Match:

HHH def. Youmanga

Attendance reported as solid.
Biggest pops:
Hunter, Jeff, the tag champs.
Biggest heat: C+M, Youmanga, Santino.

I hope Snitsky defeating Mcintyre was just a veteran defeating the rookie on the house show deal. I don't feel like seeing Snitsky get any kind of renewed push, and I think Mcintyre actually has the charisma/skills/look to be a real contributor.

Mcintyre is not on the main roster (even though he's still listed on WWE.com's Smackdown page, he's been doing Raw dark matches for weeks), so a loss an a house show to anyone is not surprising. Snitsky is unstoppable against people the audience never heard of.

But it looks to me like they had to shuffle around the card a bit, because of Carlito being over on the Smackdown house show card. I think Mcintyre was usually fighting DH earlier in the month on house shows, but I don't remember.

How many dark matches has he done? I only remember the one before RAW last week. I could have missed some though.

I don't know if he did any other dark matches, but I've seen his name on a few house show results.

Okay, thanks. On a different note, one has to think Kozlov is coming up any day now. He's been work dark matches and the house show tour for quite some time.

[EJS]

And it's been a year since he almost got called up last time. Has he improved? I haven't seen him in a long while.

How is Snitsky a veteran? He barely knows what to do in the ring. Just because he's old doesn't mean he's a veteran.

[EJS]

Not a veteran? Snitsky's been beating up jobbers for like 3+ years now! He can do it in his sleep.

I don't know to be honest. I read that he started to turn the corner after they just dumbed his offense down to simple power moves, and that things have started to "click" for him the past few months. I haven't seen for myself to be able to know though.

Though next week is the RAW LIVE show near me in Poughkeepsie, I feel like this will be the same card, and in that case, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I seriously fail to see why Drew Galloway - sorry, McIntyre - isn't on a main roster, really. He's got it all - looks, work, promos, can work heel or face. What else does he need to do, tapdance and recite Robert Frost?
