A curious thing was at the entrance ramp. On the left side there was a big WWE logo and on the right side there was a RAW logo and on the same picture there was the ECW logo, under the RAW's one, but smaller. Seems like they have all ready for the future RAW/ECW shows... Anyway the show started with Tony Chimel (I wonder why they didn't brought Lilian García, she speaks spanish....) he welcome us and introduced Rey Mysterio, who came down and talk in spanish about who happy he was being back here, how his recovery was going (he stated he was 2% short of being ready to compete) and talk about the latin people. Carlito interrupted and cut a heel promo insulting the latin people and stuff like that. Carlito challenged Rey, but he said he can't compete, but a friend was able to do it and down comes Batista and Carlito spits apple in his face and Batista hits him, sends him to the ropes, then a 619 followed by a powerslam by Batista and then the celebration with the fans. Great to see Rey back in the same building he got injured last 13/2. First match was Paul London vs Lance Cade. This one didn`t hyped the crowd, as we were more interested in a beatyful woman at ringside. Cade got the victory with his finisher. Next was Charlie Hass vs Jim Duggan. A lot of people didn't know Hacksaw, but he was supported the whole match. Personally, I never tought I'd see him, was funny the "Hoooo" chanting all match long. Duggan got the pin after a tackle. Cryme Time came down for the World Tag Team Title bout. Good reaction from the crowd as JTG did a little "Cueca" dancing (the National Dance). Down came Rhodes and DiBiase who were inmedeatly booed. Nothing much in the match as Dibiase pinned JTG after the Million Dollar Dream/legsweep. To this point, nothing really special... kinda bored.... Next Santino Marella was presented as the guest referee. He cut a promo saying he didn`t like latin womans. The "What?" chant was awesome (actually, I started it) Beth Phoenix came down first and next Mickie. Santino tries to check both of them... everywhere. Fun moment when Mickie avoided the check by Santino and then Beth shoves him. This one is for the Women`s title and it was the best technical match of the evening. Great performance by both of the wrestlers. Santino was doing slow counts on Mickie's attemps and fast ones in Beth's. In the end Marella was forced to count the 3 and Mickie retains. After the break, Y2J came down and the roof was going off, total madness inside there, as Jericho got an standing ovation. He talk an imperfect spanish saying that HBK wasn't here 'cause he was injured and he was a liyer. HBK interrumps him and everybody went insane again (seriously, we NEVER tought of having the chance to see those legends in action here in Chile, personally, after seeing Taker, Y2J and HBK, I can die happy) they went directly to action in an exciting match with a lot of near falls on both sides. Signature moves by both guys and the crowd really get into the match for both. Cade interfered but he was sent back by the referee. HBK got the pin after the sweet chin music. Great match, great legends, great experience. Next was Kane getting in the ring for another ovation (all 3 times he has performed here he has gotten an awesome reaction) and then CM Punk, who was well recieved at first. This one is for the World Heavyweight Title. Kane dominated at the beginnig and Punk fight back. He botched a running knee to the corner. The crowd was on Kane's side all match. In the end Punk hits a GTS (actually he hitted Kane in the abdominal area) for the win. Kane sat down when Punk was celebrating and they shake hands. Seems to me that the World Title is still too big for Punk. Then it comes the main event. He was booed inmedeatly and we started to sang our National Anthem. JBL got angry because we were chanting in spanish as Cena make his appareance for the classic mixed reaction And here comes the best of the night: Cena take off his t-shirt and throw it to the first row. This dudes sent it back to the ring and the crowd went absolutely nuts!!! Cena then threw the t-shirt to another side of the ring and this time they kept it, but they throw back another t-shirt to the ring. Cena took it and he actually put it on and it barely fitted him (It was an Iron Maiden t-shirt). Cena then took it off and throw it again and again they throw another back, this time was an Doraemon t-shirt (Cosmic Cat, the japanese anime) Cena took it with a WTF expression and he throws it to JBL, who was laughing all this time. He dryed his sweat with it, threw it to the mat and give it 2 elbow drops to finally threw it back to the crowd. This time they didn't sent it back as the start to surround the ring and the "Cena Sucks" chants were running wild, especially from the dudes who threw the t-shirts in first place. JBL took a microphone and he said, pointing at them "Those are my amigos" and he got an ovation. The match started and can tell you that nowhere in the world a crowd has supported JBL the way we did. At one point he sent Cena out of the ring and JBL gets down to give Hi-5 to "his amigos" at ringside and the crowd gets wild again. JBL at one point was just laughing and later he sends Cena out again and we were chanting for him and he get down on his knees and raised his arms and look up like "thanking god" That was hilarious.
The match itself was the same old shit: JBL beat the crap out of John Superman-Chuck Norris-Goku-Hogan-Rambo Cena all match long and suddenly he hits his 5 moves of doom, FU and thats it. There were a lot of people who got angry because of HHH and also Jeff, and Kennedy not being here after being advertised everywhere. Some people even re-selled his tickets because they paid to se HHH. Anyway, overall show was fun, especially after the break, but it wasn't superior to the february shows. Those ones were kinda "special" and as I stated: nothing compares to the Undertaker's entrance.
