Thanks very much to Ed in San Antonio for these updates.
There are tons of Benoit signs in the building.
Chuck Palumbo beat Kenny Doane in the dark match. Decent heat, and the crowd got into it at the end.
Cole and JBL were booed.
Ric Flair and Carlito are having a match and getting a lot of time. Flair won with the figure four in a good match. Flair was on fire.
Edge vs. Big Dave will be the main event.
Matt Hardy vs. Lance Cade. Matt won with the twist of fate in a good match.
Chavo Guerrero vs. Jamie Noble vs. Funaki. Chavo is getting cheered loudly. He won with the Gori bomb in a good match.
They actually did an angle backstage with Vickie Guerrero. Something about how Dave vs. Edge was going to take place even though they were never supposed to wrestle again, but it wouldn't be a title match.
Deuce and Domino beat Cryme Tyme. Not horrible. Cryme Tyme told the car afterwards and are going to strip it at the Brisco Brothers' auto shop.
MVP cut a promo on Tony Parker of the Spurs.
Kane beat MVP with the chokeslam. All matches are getting time.
They did a skit with Great Khali and Eugene. Then they did another one that involved Vickie, I believe Mickie, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the fat oily guy. Basically a way to get Ron Simmons there to go, "DAMN!"
Mickey beat Victoria after missing a moonsault. Not bad.
Eugene vs. Great Khali. Khali won in a minute.
Batista beat Edge clean with the spear in a long match. Good stuff.
John Cena will be appearing on ECW.
Almost all Benoit signs have been confiscated since the show began.
Cena is opening up ECW. Apparently Vince is not apologizing at the top of the hour.
Cena vs. Johnny Nitro. More cheers than boos for Cena. Cena won with a tapout in a long good match. Crowd loved Cena tonight.
Apparently Vince did his apology and it wasn't shown to the live crowd. Said something to the effect that they made a quick decision and didn't hear about the details until later, he's sorry it happened, and he's done with the situation. He was upset and basically indicated that we would never hear the name Chris Benoit in WWE again.
Piper cut a promo but was cut off by the teacher. It was his birthday. He had a cake and wanted Piper to sing Happy Birthday to him. You know the rest.
Boogey came out afterwards and put worms on Teacher.
CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke best-of-three-falls is next. Burke won the first fall with the double knees to the back. CM Punk cradled him in the second. Punk won in a great match.
About one third of the upper deck was taped off.
No post-match. {plug}
