Reader Ernie Hamilton sent in the following report:
I attended the WWE Raw House Show on Friday, June 11, 2008 in Lexington, KY in Rupp Arena.
Howard Finkel opened the show giving 3 choices to text for the World Title Match later in the night. The choices were no a. dq match, b. 2 out of 3 falls match, c. falls count anywhere. Then Kelly Kelly appeared in the crowd and asked a fan a trivia question which was where did WM 24 take place, fan answered Orlando which is correct and won 4 ringside tickets.
