Bobby Strouss sent this report in from the 5/10 Raw House Show in Kalamazoo, MI:

The hostess of the show was Ashley. She was with a family of four and asked them where Wrestlemania was this year. They got the question correct, and she gave them a family four pack of front row seats to the show, so they moved down front.

The first match of the night was Santino and Super Crazy. Santino first came out, making fun of the town name by saying that Shaq made a movie after K-zoo, and he said that the magic word was 'alakazoo.' Super Crazy then came out, and nicely finished off Santino with the moonsault from the top rope.

The second match was Cody Rhodes (with special manager from the crowd) vs. "The Natural" Nick Nemeth. Nemeth loses to Rhodes after the DDT.

Then Regal came out saying that he was boss, followed by Hardcore Holly which led to.....
Hardcore Holly defeating Snitsky with the Alabama Slam.

Cryme Tyme defeated Cade and Murdoch
Lance Cade grabs the microphone from Trevor Murdoch and asks why he was singing happily, because they lost. Cade then left Murdoch in the ring with a blank stare.

Then there was a brief intermission.

Following intermission.....
Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix to retain the Women's Championship

The next match was a 'fans choice' where fans got to text the match type that they wanted to see. Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero (w/ Bam Neely) in a NO DQ match.

The main event started out with JBL coming out and saying that we were all rednecks. He said he really didn't want to be in Kalamazoo. Jericho then came out, followed by Regal who said that he didn't like Chris, so it was going to be a 2 on 1 match. Umaga came out, and then just before the match started, HBK comes out, says that he wasn't supposed to be out there, and didn't care what Regal said (called him Steven Regal, then joked about it) and made it a tag team match. The match ended with the Sweet Chin Music and Code Breaker being used on JBL.
