WWE Live Event Results
12/27/14
Cincinnati, Ohio
Rainy night in Cincy, but there’s still a great turnout.
Sin Cara vs Justin Gabriel. Sin Cara not carrying his NXT tag team belt. Pretty sloppy match unfortunately. I expected better. Sin Cara Wins.
Lights go out and Bray Wyatt teleports into the ring and squashes Justin Gabriel and Sin Cara. Then cuts a promo ripping Dean Ambrose’s home town Cincinnati. Bray gets good heat.
6 man tag Tyler breeze, heel Hornswoggle and Titus O’Neil vs Los Matadores with El Torito. Very silly match but over with the kids. Hornswaggle seemed to be doing the Sharkboy “Im fat and out of shape” gimmick. A Matator pins Titus for the win. Cant help but think Tyler Breeze is taking Heath Slater’s place in this match.
Bad news Barrett comes out interrupting Eden. He hypes his return match tonight in Cincinnati only to deliver the Bad News that he wouldn’t waste his return match on a crappy city like Cincinnati. He is awesome as always and wishes the crowd a “Merry Bloody Christmas”.
Adam Rose vs R-Truth. Rose has only 5 Rosebuds so no stage dive entrance thingy. The Rosebuds were heeling it up during this match taunting R-Truth and the crowd. Truth wins and Rose attacks the Rosebuds on his way out of the ring.
Conner the crusher video.
Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart come out and Hogan cuts a classic promo, interrupted by Rusev and Lana. Their banter was great. Rusev is super over as a heel. Roman Reigns comes out to fight Rusev to a huge pop. They have a slow, plodding, big man style match. There were a few good spots and the crowd was really into this match. Reigns wins DQ finish.
Intermission
6 divas tag match Natalya, Naomi and Charlotte!!!!! vs Summer Rae, Cameron, and Sasha banks!!!!! The faces win. Crowd really responded to Charlotte and I really responded to Sasha Banks.
Triple threat tag match for number one contender ship. Gold and Stardust vs Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs New day Kofi and Big E. A lot going on in this match. Gold skull like face paint for Goldust. Crowd very indifferent to New Day. This match was really good except for the finish. One more observation, Cody Rhodes is really great. New day wins. Couple cool spots that I had never seen before too.
Main event Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt in a Cincinnati street fight. Chair spots, the kendo stick in the turnbuckle spot, table spots, this match had it all. It was kind of short, but very good. The hometown crowd was all about Dean Ambrose. Ambrose wins.
I enjoyed the show. Great turnout. As I have noticed in the past, house shows seem to be the least “smarky”. So there wasn’t much in the way of funny chants or cheering the heels. Really great to see Hulk Hogan. He seemed way more comfortable than he does on tv. Also really happy to see Sasha Banks who is the best.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
