Yeah I went to the Smackdown/ECW house show here on Sunday evening. Had second row seats and my girlfriend got some pretty decents pictures, so I figured I would talk about my experience along with some visual aid. Hopefully this will get a good response or I will cry, having lost about 20 minutes of my life.
---------------------
We got there at 3:30, would have been there sooner but my girlfriend had to randomly work the one Sunday that we had something planned. We walked up to the barricade outside of the parking garage entrance to see Kofi Kingston and some butterfaced girl who I found out was Eve, out signing autographs.
Not one for autographs or randomly taking pictures with someone, we stood back and watched the happenings. Kofi came off as extremely nice and generous going on and taking pictures and signing for anyone who asked. He was out there for a good 15 minutes from the time I got there, not including the length he was there before we got there.
Now from there it is kind of blurry as I don't exactly remembered who all arrived and when. However, I will do my best to mention who arrived. Jimmy Wang Yang arrived and was also gracious to come over and sign for a heck of a lot of people. Then Justin Roberts came in with Matt Striker. Then Michael PS Hayes arrived, honked the horn in his car since people were blocking his way.
Victoria came in and almost drove by then entrance, she had to back up a little bit to turn into the lot. You can tell she was amused by that since she was laughing walking in. Now for the funniest part so far. Big Daddy V came in with Teddy Long right behind him, while BDV was talking to one of the security guards, Long honked his horn at BDV.
Well a bunch of people came up to Long and Long gave the woman a kiss on the cheek and hugged the little girl. The woman who got the kiss from Long was too ecstatic for words. Well when Long proceed in, he did not see Big Daddy V backing up and almost crashed into him.
Yes.
TEDDY LONG ALMOST T-BONED BIG DADDY V.
That got a big gasp from the crowd. After that close call, Long got out and came over and shook hands and posed for pictures with the crowd. The same woman who got a kiss from Long earlier, got another one from him.
After waiting a little bit, we decided to head on up to the doors, well then we heard some commotion that someone else had arrived. Come to find out it was Chavo who came in with MVP. Chavo went in and MVP stuck out there and got into with a fan who was taunting him.

"Everything I'm wearing, YOU helped pay for!"
Well needless to say that MVP owned this poor kid. MVP put him in his place by saying that everything MVP was wearing, the kid helped pay for it by buying tickets to the show.
A few minutes later, Big Show lumbered in listening to his iPod. The poor kid next to us who was taunting him about Floyd Mayweather was sad cause Show paid him no mind. Then not too long after that, Matt Hardy showed up much to the delight of the crowd. Surprisingly, he didn't really stick around to sign or take pictures. Well after a few minutes we went back into line and once again more commotion took place and someone yelled that it was Edge, cue my girlfriend running over to the side like a maniac with camera in hand.
Edge got out with some guy I didn't recognize, he looked like Slyvain Grenier. Then a chick got out with a baby stroller. Edge walks right by us and someone had their camera out to take a picture, so Edge made his cheesy "Edge and Christian era" grin. Someone yelled at Edge to "kick Taker's ass" so Edge quipped, "That's the plan." Fans behind the barricade were yelling at Edge to come over to sign autographs, so Edge drops his bags, rushes over, but then he stopped and told them to forget about it and walked away.
Edge - 1
Fans - 0
That was about it as we then proceed into the arena and wait for about 45 minutes for the show to start.
The opening match was between Shelton Benjamin and Kofi Kingston. I found those two worked really well together and hope they have a program in the near future. Some white trash guy kept began channeling 2006 by calling Shelton "Mamma's Boy." The highlight for me was hear this little kid in front of us call Kofi "Kobe" and then I proceeded to irritate my girlfriend by calling Kofi "Coffee Kingston". And whenever Kofi did the "Boi! Boi! Boi!" thing, I would always follow it with "...But don't get too excited Kofi."

"Boi! Boi! Boi...But don't get too excited Kofi."
Kofi wins with the Cool Runnings Kick.
Next match was Big Daddy V vs. Kevin "Where has my career gone" Thorn. When I saw Kevin and realized it was the same guy who came in with Edge, my reaction was that of that Kennedy "WTF" picture.

"Thorn is doing is own version of The People's Elbow"
Use your imagination as to who won this one.
Next match we have our favorite guy from the Other Side of the Tracks, Domino!

"AAAAYYYYEEE!"
His opponent is the Redneck Messiah Jamie "Bah Gawd" Noble!

"BROTHER! BROTHER! BROTHER!"
A fairly decent match up that Jamie Noble won with the dreaded flying knee to the head.
Our next match was for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Miz and Morrison came out first and together mind you. No slo-mo entrance. :'(
Morrison and Miz cut a promo and noticed that Eve was checking out the Shaman of Sexy. They were even gracious enough to allow Eve to take off Morrison's shirt. Their opponents were none other than, Jesse and Festus.

"I'm sorry Festus, no more biscuits and gravy until May 19!"
Man, Festus needs some Ritalin or something as he was constantly moving around the ring apron.

"Those abs will put you in a trance."
Morrison and Miz win after a low blow on Festus.
Next up we have a very special V.I.P. lounge with MVP. MVP talked about how a while back he had a legend as his guest and things didn't turn out the way he wanted it to. So people automatically assumed he meant Flair and started to "WOOO!" However, he was talking about Michael P.S. Hayes and brought him out. I admit, when I heard the Freebird music hit, I marked like a little bitch.
MVP and Hayes traded banter, MVP claimed that Hayes failed The Hardys as a mentor. Hayes challenged MVP to a fight, but then balked and said that someone else wanted a piece of MVP.

"I'm a Freebird, what's YOUR excuse?!"
Cue Funaki.
Whoops, I mean Matt Hardy. The place errupted when his music hit and he came rushing down to run off MVP. Then Hardy and Hayes had a tender, loving moment.

"AAAAANNNDDD IIIIIIII WIIILLL ALLLLWWWAAAYYYS, LLLOOOVVEEE YOOOOOUUU!"
And then Hardy and Hayes do the Freebird strut causing me to mark out even more.
