Thanks to Dallas O'Meara for sending in these house show results from Charleston, West Virginia this past weekend:

The show kicked off shortly before 7:30 with GNR's 'Welcome to the Jungle' blaring, and out came the night's ring announcer - none other than Howard Finkel. He welcomed everybody and told them that Layla was in the building and would be making occasional appearances to give away prizes - she appeared four times.

The first time was to upgrade the seats of a family of four to 'closer to ringside.' They had to answer a trivia question 'Where was Wrestlemania 24 held?' and up they went. (She came out to pick a guest manager for Kofi Kingston, to pick a special bell-ringer, and to help with the fan participation. Frankly, I found her voice very, very annoying.)

The Fink then announced that the fans could choose the special stipulation for that night's match for the World Heavyweight Championship between CM Punk and Batista by texting (to 44993) A) if they wanted a falls count anywhere and anything goes match; B) 2 out of 3 falls; or C) No disqualifications.

Jamie Noble then got a huge pop when he entered - and he should have, given that he is from nearby Logan, W.V. (he's billed from Hannibal). He spent some time shaking hands, etc., but what struck me was just how small he appears to be. Charlie Haas (billed from, curiously enough, Dallas , Texas) drew huge heat, and spent quite a bit of time taunting the fans.

1. Jamie Noble defeated Charlie Haas. The match seemingly took forever to get started, but opened with Haas slapping Noble across the face. Jamie displayed some of his trademark cruiserweight high-flying, dominated the majority of this standard match, and won with a knee to Haas' head from the top turnbuckle.

Santino Marella entered next and really got the crowd worked up by putting down the state of West Virginia. He then promised that his new finishing move, the Mazaratti Clutch, would 100 percent guarantee the victory! D-Lo Brown made his entrance, interrupting Santino.

2. D-Lo Brown pinned Santino Marella. After a couple of early spots where D-Lo bulldozed the Italian, Santino was in control much of the match, putting D-Lo in his new finishing move and D-Lo escaping all three times. Finally, it ended with D-Lo reversing Santino into a powerbomb and hitting a Frog Splash. At the end, Santino had the Fink assure the crowd that he was 'Okay.'

Next to enter was Kofi Kingston, and he received a warm response, and then Paul Burchill and his sister made their entrance. Katie Lea took the mic and told Kofi that his smile was nauseating, and that Paul was going to knock the fake happiness out of his head, once and for all.
