Paris France Houseshow Results...French go wild for WGTT
WWE house show report 4-24 Paris featuring a title change that wasn't supposed to happen

WWE Raw house show
tuesday, april 24th 2007 in Paris, France at the Zenith.
It was the first WWE show in France in 14 years and the crowd was just insane. They fed us an atrocious card and we ate it up like madmen. I've been in WWE shows in pretty much every European city, and this one and Brussels last year take the cake in crowd insanity. They cheered for everything, even stuff they have no clue about since we have a 6 weeks delay with WWE programming over here. I'd say around 4500 / 5000 people, almost a full house.
- Maria came out and did the ring announcing. She was quickly interrupted by the Coach, who was then interrupted by Santino Marella. I was first row and couldn't understand a word they said. Horrible sound system, which is sad since the Zenith is primarly a concert hall.
1) WWE IC champion, Santino Marella beat The Coach in a very quick match. Santino took the mike and actually spoke in French with an almost perfect accent.
2) The World's Greatest Tag Team beat Val Venis & Dan Rodman. Shelton & Haas were insanely over. They started out as heels but had to change after a few minutes, so most of the match was worked with Venis & Rodman as heels. After the match, Venis & Rodman fought and Rodman left Venis lying.
3) Eugene beat Chris Masters
4) Carlito beat Johnny Nitro with the Back Cracker.
** There was a 15 mn break **
5) Mickie James beat WWE Women's champion, Melina and Victoria in a Triple Threat match, by pinning Victoria to capture the title. The Coach replaced Maria on the announcing around that time too.
6) Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch beat Cryme Tyme. Cryme Tyme were over and Shad even said some stuff in french to pop the crowd.
7) Ric Flair beat Kenny Dykstra with the Figure 4 Leglock. Flair got one of the top 3 pops of the night. He took the mike and said something about "Hartford, Conn". Him and the Coach laughed like crazy but no one understood what he said because of the sound system.
8) Melina beat WWE Women's champion, Mickie James with her feet on the ropes in just a couple minutes to regain her title.
9) WWE champion, John Cena beat Edge with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat as special ref.
Show lasted 2h08 mn, and had a 15 mn break. People couldn't believe it was over and chanted "HBK" for approx. 5mn. A french speaker actually had to take the mike and order us out. During that time some geek came on the ring and started bouncing around, no security guys reacted except one WWE staff guy who sled into the ring and actually Choked the guy out. The guy left trying to look like a hero, but you could see his neck was in a rough shape. Dweed.
They're coming back in september with a SD house show in Bercy, which can seat up to 16.000 people. The first few rows are priced at 120 euros (approx. 150 bucks)
I like the international crowd shows more because you NEVER how they are gonna react to underrated talents on the other side of things.

What the hell? Carlito beat Nitro? Carlito won a match? He's not leaving for TNA? That means I don't have to bash him anymore.
Yeah but he's losing next Monday and the week after. Unless he's turning heel and they have him crush Flair or something.

This will surely result in a strong result for WGTT. By strong I mean about 2 weeks; then they'll disappear from TV for a month or so.
Carlito over Nitro definitely raises my eyebrows. (Yes, both of them!)
Dusty finish with the women's title match huh? Always a lame ploy in my book. Surely they won't count the switches on the official WWE history books.

Yeah..I would love to see Nitro get squashed by Santino. Book it.
