Raw House Show Results - Perth, Australia
Fan report sent to pwtorch.com:
Triple H defeated WWE champion Randy Orton by DQ after Legacy interference. This was my fourth WWE live event and in my opinion Triple H got probably the loudest pop I've ever heard which didn't surprise me at all. Orton as well got a huge heel response. Pretty slow match. The ending was good with both men hitting their finishers then Legacy attacked Hunter to get the DQ. Big Show came out for the save and ended with Cody Rhodes getting the Pedigree to send everyone home happy. Triple H and Show then got each side of the arena to see who could cheer the loudest, place was deafening.

"I was at an autograph signing,” Mysterio explained with a smile. “A little girl gave me a collage that she made of me with a prayer on it. She said it was a prayer that she says for me every night.”
“I wanted a new tattoo but couldn't decide what to get. I read that little girl's prayer every day and suddenly it hit me. That prayer is definitely the tattoo I want."
The tattoo, translated into English, reads, “Jesus Christ, you accompany me every day. I ask you to bless me and protect me every time I land on the mat because my life is always on the line. Never leave me alone. Protect me and be with me always. Amen.”
In a profession where ink can symbolize all that is special to a Superstar, the high-flying Mysterio has taken a leap of faith. And his tremendous new tattoo will always serve as a testament, both to his immense faith and his unwavering belief in the WWE Universe.

Interview with Hulk Hogan
On watching TNA and WWE:
"I watch both products. (TNA's) like the little engine that could. Everybody thought they wouldn't be around for long, and they've been chugging along for seven years. They gain momentum every week. They seem to be real fresh. When a lot of guys go over to that side of the fence, they seem to get a spring in their step. I also watch Vince's product (WWE). Vince is the constant. He's the standard of excellence. I just love watching his show because you never know what he is going to do. Plus, the production -- you can't even touch his production. It's so dialed-in. It's amazing just to see how they put the pieces together."...More?
