Christian vs Dolph Ziggler
Dolph promo boos keep cutting him off, Christian got pops for just raising a hand.
Back and forth match, Christian threw Dolph out of the ring and into the guardrails….and right into my knee, my buddy spilled his beer. It was kinda awesome.
Christian wins with the Killswitch in about 15 minutes
Horny splashes Dolph post match and does a pose down with Christian.
As they leave, the SES (Gallows, Serena, Masked Man) attacks Christian. Gallows held the mic too close during the promo he cut after and I couldn’t make out any of it.
Kane vs Luke Gallows & Masked Man
Kane via double chokeslam in three minutes. Total squash.
Rosa Mendes takes a kid out of the audience to ring the bell after asking him a trivia question.
Layla vs Tiffany
TECHNICAL MASTERPIECE! MATCH OF THE YEAR!
No, seriously, this was the longest 10-12 minutes of my life, and Tiffany has no right to be wrestling. Layla wasn’t great, but at least she could play a hot heel. And her leglock rest holds worked for her. Tiffany looked completely lost about two minutes in. Best part of the match was Layla pulling at Tiffany’s skirt, and mocking it before the match.
Layla wins after a long 12 minutes
Kelly saves from Tiffany from a post match attack
Heath Slater comes out and cuts a heel promo on our hockey team….not enough people really argued his points, he would have gotten better heat with the Cardinals because they’re our pride and joy sports team.
Heath Slater vs Finlay
Finlay looked great and was working stiff, Slater runs away for the first few minutes, and is treated to a loud “you can’t wrestle chant” at 5 minutes.
Finlay wins with his version of the Celtic Cross at 12 min
Drew McIntyre vs Kofi Kingston
Drew cut a good heel promo running down individual fans, Kofi got a big pop.
Fun back and forth match for about twenty minutes
Kofi won with the SOS
Matt attacks Drew to halt the post match attack
Rosa again….with t-shirts.
Intermission
Chavo Guerrero vs Justin Gabriel
So awesome seeing Chavo! He looked great out there, and he made Gabriel look great! He even got into it with this fat guy sitting behind me and my buddy.
Chavo won in 15 after putting his knees up to reverse a 450, and then followed up with a frog splash.
Cody Rhodes vs MVP
Match went about 15 to 20 minutes, Cody hit a moonsault on a standing MVP, and near the end the ref threw up the X. MVP won with The Play of the Day.
MVP wins
Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk vs Big Show vs Jack Swagger
Swagger cut a great promo about how awesome he is, and then did pushups for about 10 seconds before Big Show came in. Punk played the cowardly heel.
Kane kills everyone at the 10 minute mark
Big Show hit some of those giant chest slaps where he quiets the audience first. Those things are awesome from close up.
Match went about 20 minutes, and ended after Rey hit Punk with the 619 and then a splash, but Swagger threw him out of the ring and stole the pin.
Big Show chokeslammed him post match, and then high fived everyone at ringside before leaving.
Show had maybe 2000-4000 people, and the arena looked pretty empty. Great show though.
I was sitting front row behind where the announcers would have been, and my entire row was made up of people either not wearing wrestling shirts, or people wearing Christian shirts, and he definitely took notice to his front row fanbase!
