SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
PWTorch features unmatched archives of live wrestling reports (not just results, but match details, context, and analysis). The following is a report originally published here 20 years ago this week…
WWE Raw house show
August 27, 2006
Erie, Pa.
Report by Brandon Boyd, PWTorch.com correspondent
It was very good, but still missing a lot of people, like Kane, Randy Orton, and Shelton Benjamin. Anyway, here were the results.
(1) “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan defeated Rob Conway. Really quite the boring match, and I found Hacksaw to be a very annoying person. He won by the way, but the match wasn’t anything to right home about.
(2) Lita defeated Trish Stratus. I can’t complain about this match, it really wasn’t too bad. Lita won by using the ropes.
(3) Highlanders defeated Spirit Squad. Two over the top gimmicks that I love. Can’t remember the ending, but it was a pretty good match.
(4) Johnny Nitro defeated Carlito and Jeff Hardy. This match was awesome, and I loved every second of it. Nitro won after Hardy hit the Swanton Bomb on Carlito, then Hardy was thrown out of the ring.

(5) Oleg Prudis defeated Eugene. This was after intermission, Torrie shot T-shirts when Prudis came out. He berated the crowd, then Eugene came. Prudis is a big dude, but I’m not sure I like him.
(6) DX defeated Viscera & Charlie Haas. It was announced this would be a three tag team gauntlet match to face DX. This was the first team. My grandpa isn’t a wrestling fan, but he cracked up at Viscera. DX was mega over.
(7) DX defeated Cade & Murdoch. Second team.
(8) DX defeated Umaga & AAE. Third team.
(9) Edge (w/LIta) defeated John Cena in a Last Man Standing Match. This kind of bummed me out, as it wasn’t the greatest match in the world. Edge won after Lita hit Cena over the head with the title.
NOTES: Overall, it was a pretty good show, but could have been a lot better.

1. John Cena

MOST HEEL HEAT
