By Albert Escobedo 

The crowd was rowdy all night! Here are the matches and results in order:

 

Maria welcomes the crowd.

 

Kofi Kingston vs Shelton Benjamin: Kofi wins by pin

 

Ted DiBiase vs Super Crazy w/ guest managers from the audience: DiBiase wins by pin with a Million Dollar Dream/Russian Leg Sweep Combo

 

Lance Cade vs Trevor Murdoch: Cade wins by pin in a competitive match

 

Mark Henry and MVP vs Matt Hardy and Big Show: Good match, crowd was outstanding. Hardy and Show win by pin with Show choke slam on MVP.

 

Chavo Guerrero vs Kane for ECW title: Kane wins a hard fought bout by pin w/ a choke slam. On a side note, Bam Neely nearly got into an altercation with an overzealous fan, security calmed everyone down.

 

Intermission - After the intermission Maria gives away two tickets to WM25 to a fan who could name all seven participants of the Money in the Bank match from WM24. Sadly noone answered correctly (Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, John Morrison, Jericho, CM Punk, Mr. Kennedy, MVP). She then changed the question to: Who made a surprise appearance in that match (Matt Hardy)? A young girl won the tickets.

 

Mickie James vs Katie Lea foe WWE Women's Title: Mickie wins by pin in an awkward match.

 

Jeff Hardy vs Chris Jericho for the IC Title (No DQ voted by fans via text message): A very good and competitive match. Would not surprise me to see this match at Night of Champions. Jericho did his go ahead a "boo me" routine. After about 20 minutes Hardy was ready to attempt a swanton bomb when Lance Cade interfered causing a distraction and allowing Jericho to roll up Hardy and gain a pin by holding on to the tights.

 

Main Event: JBL and Edge vs Batista and HHH: Solid tag match with loads of action. Batista pins Edge after delivering a Batista Bomb. HHH and Batista went around to the entire crowd and shook hands with everyone within reach. I was able to shake both of their hands.

 

Side Notes: Sign guy was there and almost every superstar interacted with him, MVP even ripped his hat off of his head after MVP lost his match. He the returned it to him. There was also a Rey Mysterio impersonator in the crowd, he even went as far as to take pictures with kids and anyone who wanted one. Last I checked, Rey doesn't have a pony tail!

 

Great night overall!

 

I will also be at Night of Champions.

 

Until then, this is Betoesco.
