SmackDown House Show Highlights - Johnson City, TN

From an anonymous prowrestling.net reader:

Triple H announced as a no-show. A few boos, and they offered a refund before the end of the first match.

Refunds because Hunter wasn't there? Can this man get any more over?!

Shelton Benjamin beat Mr. Kennedy and MVP in a three-way to retain the U.S. Title. Kennedy was super over. Another fairly basic match which was pretty sloppy from time to time. Kennedy looked rough in my opinion, but I'll be the first to admit I am not a fan of the guy: "Look, I say my name! Then I say it again!" Maybe WWE will bring back the Cactus Jack amnesia gimmick one day: Kennedy gets kicked really hard in the head, comes in to do his schtick... and draws a complete and total blank. Where was I? Oh right, the match!

One highlight: Shelton gets sent to the outside right in front us, where there's a bag of popcorn lying ringside. He opens it, stands there and starts eating some. Nice little ad-lib. And that's why I love me some Shelton Benjamin. Finish came when Kennedy hit MVP with the Mic Check, but Benjamin caught Kennedy with a rolling cradle as he went to make the cover...More?

I like Ken Kennedy, but his new way of introducing himself and waiting for the crowd to answer isn't working for me.
