WWE Smackdown/ECW house show
October 12, 2007
Luxembourg city, Luxembourg at Arena D'Coque
Report by David Lowie, PWTorch correspondent


This was the first time ever the WWE visited the country of Luxembourg. Since I live in Belgium and I already had tickets for the October 13 show in Belgium, I wasn't planning on attending this show. But a week before the event, there were still tickets available so me and a friend of mine decided to go check it out.

The show opened when 'Welcome to the jungle' started playing, and the Fink came to the ring. This was a nice surprise, since he doesn't appear all that often on TV anymore. He welcomed us all and then introduced the ECW general manager Armando Estrada. First he dissed the French and German-speaking people of Luxembourg and added he only speaks English. Then he went over the most important matches for the evening and he concluded by saying 'Let the games begin!'.

(1) Jesse & Festus beat Deuce & Domino after Festus hit an F5-like move. Before the match began, Festus went over the railing and wandered into the crowd. Jesse had to come get him so the match could begin. During the match, Jesse got isolated, but shortly after Festus got the hot tag, he was able to win the match. After the match Jesse and Festus celebrated in the ring with a fan they invited in the ring.

(2) Chuck Palumbo pinned Dave Taylor after a big boot. Taylor took the mike before the match and yelled to the fans that they should shut up, which, of course, made them jeer even louder. I thought Chuck would win with his Full Throttle, but he bagged the win with a basic big boot.

(3) John Morrison pinned (Johnny) Jeter after he hit his corkscrew neckbreaker. Since it had been a long time since Jeter had been on TV, it was quite surprising to see him. I don't think he was using the first name 'Johnny' (which he used in his Spirit Squad days), but I couldn't exactly hear the first name the Fink said. Jeter got in some nice offence, but in the end it was Morrison who got the duke. Jeter remained knocked out in the ring, and when he got up, he got a nice round of applause for his good match.

(4) Michelle McCool & Marysse beat Katarina (Waters) & Victoria. Another surprise was seeing Katarina Waters (who was announced without her last name) for the first time, and also seeing Marysse wrestle (who did a pretty decent job). In the end Michelle McCool got the duke for her team after she hit her signature kick.

(5) Kane pinned Kevin Thorn after a chokeslam. The Fink announced this match as 'a special interbrand matchup'. Kane got the first huge pop of the evening when he came to the ring.

Intermission.

(6) Rey Mysterio pinned Chris Masters after a frogsplash. When Rey went to the ring, someone had a sign 'Rey is gay', which security quickly took away. In the end Rey hit the 619, then went to the top rope and hit the frogsplash.

(7) C.M. Punk beat Matt Striker and Big Daddy V in a handicap match. Striker and Big Daddy V worked on Punk's 'injured' ribs during most of the match. In the end, Punk was able to kick Big Daddy V from the ring apron, and then he hit Striker with the GTS for the win.

(8) Undertaker & Batista & Matt Hardy beat M.V.P. & Finlay & Great Khali. It was surprising to see that Hornswoggle came to the ring with Finlay. Action packed match which was won by the faces after Undertaker pinned Finlay with the Tombstone. After the match, the faces celebrated. Batista was doing the V1-handsign together with Hardy, which was pretty funny to see. After Undertaker and Hardy left, Batista remained in the ring celebrating with the crowd.

QUICK TIPS FOR SENDING RESULTS

If you attend an arena event in future, either house shows or TV tapings, we encourage you to send us a report for publication. You can direct your reports to "matchresults07" (@pwtorch. com).

We accept reports in any format, but if it's not much trouble, please format your report like you see above, with the matches numbered like this (1) , (2) , (3) , with the opening line of each match paragraph stating who beat whom (don't just say Wrestler A vs. Wrestler beat with the result listed later; instead, state up front who won so those readers who don't have time to read the entire report (i. e. their boss walks past their cubicle all the time looking beat their shoulder) can at least quickly assess the results.

Also, please list tag teams using the "&" symbol as opposed to stating "and. " Reserve use of " and" when listing results in a three-way or four-way match where there are no teams (i. e. " Wrestler A beat Wrestler B and Wrestler C in a three-way match" ) so it is easy to differentiate a handicap match from a three-way match.

If you know HTML coding for bolding, you can also bold out the first line of each match description. If you don't know HTML symbols, then we can add those ourselves.

Special thanks to everyone who helps us with reports on live events!
