WWE Smackdown/ECW house show
March 16, 2008
Alexandria, La.
Report by Tam Batts, PWTorch Subscriber Since 2005

-It was announced at the beginning of the show that Batista would not be there. Don't know the exact reason why.

(1) Chavo Guerrero defeated C.M. Punk in a two out of three falls match for the ECW Title. Chavo spent a good portion of the match berating the fans in the audience. Punk must be really in the dog house.

-Michelle McCool, Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly had a bikini contest where all three won (but in my opinion, Kelly Kelly got the loudest pop).

(2) Festus & Jesse defeated John Morrison & Jaime Noble. Funny moment happened at the beginning of the show when Morrison came out of the wrong curtain where the smoke was coming from and had to run to the smoke before it went out.

(3) Kofi Kingston defeated Matt Striker

(4) Tommy Dreamer defeated Shelton Benjamin.

(5) Matt Hardy defeated MVP via disqualification. MVP messed with the crowd for a while as well but not as long as Chavo did.

(6) Kane & Undertaker defeated Edge & Mark Henry. Undertaker and Kane had a huge pop when the entered the ring.

NOTES: The Rapides Parish Coliseum was filled except for a section that was over the dressing rooms and wrestlers entrance. I finally got to see Ricky Steamboat who has aged and put on some weight.

TIPS FOR SENDING IN HOUSE SHOW REPORTS 

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!
