I'm writing these from memory, so bear with me....Some live observations from Section 108, Row 18, seat 1:
Dark matches:
-Ryan Wilson beat Funaki-Wilson was briefly in TNA as one of the red shirt security guards. He's got a Nathan Jones look going on. He's doing a crazy gimmick. Can't remember the finish, sorry.
-Jamie Noble beat Zumaku (or something to that effect)-Zumaku was straight out of early 90's WWE. He was doing a masked martial artist gimmick. Nice spot when Zumaku hung Noble on the ropes, went outside, and did a jumping sliding dropkick across the apron. Noble won with the Guillotine Chpke.
Smackdown (THis is gonna be out of order)
-Ken Kennedy beat Batista via countout. Both men were out of the ring, but Kennedy punched Batista and slid in to beat the count. Batista tried to bomb Kennedy again, but Ken escaped.
-Sylvan beat Tatanka via low blow. I missed this entire match getting food.
-Sylvestre Terkay debuted against Matt Hardy (!). Terkay had Elijah Burke with him as a mouthpiece. Much to this forum's chagrin, no doubt, Terkay is doing a MMA gimmick, lots of holds, lots of ground and pound. Terkay won with an Eastern Stretch.
-King Booker had a coronation ceremony, complete with ballons, throne, et al.
Mysterio interrupted and beat up Booker for a bit.
-Finlay beat Regal after a low blow from the Leperchaun. Post match, Finlay slapped the Leperchaun five. Fnlay was very over with the crowd, even getting a strong "Finlay" chant.
-Brief Chavo interview on the tron. Said he wasn't in Detroit, and that he didn't need to explain himself to anyone.
-Diva musical chairs: came down to JT and Rebecca. JT won. After, Rebecca picked up the last chair and went after JT with it. Miz had to get between them. Damn funny.
MAin event: King Booker beat Rey Mysterio. Rey was going for the West Coast Pop, Chavo came through the audience and threw him into the barrier. Booker hit a Scissors kick and won.
They did the change to ECW in ten minutes flat. Incredible.
-I marked out when Punk said "The wait is over". Then he said he'd debut next week. I was sad.
-God help me, I'm a mark for The Vampire.
-Post ECW, Khali's music hit. He and Show were menacing Kane, and Taker came out. Taker and Kane beat Show and Khali after Khali walked out on Show. Double Chokeslam won it. Khali didn't get in the ring once.
-I fucking hate the Detroit border. :foc:
