I only wish the WWF had let Mukha Singh loose on the microphone as he was the best I've ever seen at building heat.
It's Makhan...show some respect!!!

FWIW, the RAW house show card from the last weekend's circuit via the Observer:

-Apollo Crews, Curtis Axel, R-Truth & Kalisto vs. Elias Samson, Goldust, Titus O'Neil & Bo Dallas
-Neville vs. Austin Aries
-Finn Balor vs. Curt Hawkins
-Bayley, Sasha Banks & Mickie James vs. Alexa Bliss, Alicia Fox & Nia Jax
-Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt
-Enzo & Cass vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Rhyno & Heath Slater
-Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe
(No Hardys last weekend.)

I would presume Miz faces Ambrose and they shuffle things around a bit for the Calgary show.

Yup, I met the guy at Frankie and Johnny's South (Old people remember that place) and he was a super nice guy for a bad guy, but man he was huge.

He actually had a pretty good career he had a good run in WCW playing Norman the Lunatic, and then went to the WWE and played Bastian Booger for a while.

There was nobody better at getting heat from an audience.

One of his better stories was when he was norman fans would send him 200 teddy bears a week and he'd drive to the hospitals and give them to kids.

Dean Ambrose and Miz should be good, the nice thing about house shows is that they're not really scripted and the wrestlers tend to be a lot looser, so this could be a fun match. If Maryse is there bazanga
The woman's match should be ok, I'm happy to see Emma in the ring. Alexa Bliss is suppossed to be a lot of fun at house shows as she amps up the villain role 1000%.
Austin Aries vs Neville is probably going to be the match of the night
The 6 man tag is a who's who of who cares, but Heath Slater could be fun.
Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe should be a pretty good match as well
Apollo Crews vs Samson is a bathroom break.
the 3 team tag team should be really good mainly because of Cesaro and we know its going to end when Enzo gets knocked out.
I'm not a fan of a Reigns vs Wyatt main event but it should be ok.

Its a pretty good lineup, with some main event players.

You can also expect a undercard for local tryouts which is always worth the price of admission.

I don't see how any show involving Alexa "Future Mrs. Q-Scout" Bliss could possibly be bad.

I'm not sure they do an undercard for house shows, at least I've never heard or seen of it. I think you're confusing it with the dark matches they do at TV tapings which do often feature local tryouts.

It's rare but it does happen. I'm pretty sure it was before a house show I saw a match with a bunch of the Hart kids in it. That was the hay day of Calgary wrestling though, so unless Lance Storm has some guys from SWA that the WWE is interested in, it'll probably just be main roster guys.

If there are good enough local talents they'll work a match for the road agent, sometimes its part of the main card, I saw one in texas about an hour before the starting bell.

I saw on Twitter that they had an autograph signing at West Edmonton Mall today (details) - does anyone know if there's one planned for Calgary? I can't seem to find one.
