K, just got back from Ohio. Had tremendous seats, opposite the titantron, 10 rows up.
Some thoughts:
-The show was not good. Sure, the wrestling was decent, but the only actual ECW guy put over was RVD, and that was by a world champion whose already been squashed by everyone else in the company.
-Big Show going to ECW was suprising, but lame.Send him over to Smackdown for some star power (especially after sending Orton to Raw
), and use the battle royal to put over someone ACTUALLY FROM ECW.
-Dunno how it came across on TV, but Ohio is definitely not Cena country.
-I loved Cena's promo when he referred to having the belt Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin wore. Yep, definitely remeber Bruno with the Spinner belt. Good times.
-The Nutter arena has the absolute worst security force I've ever seen.
-Foley's promo was pretty hot.
note about the preshow: Poor, poor Jimmy Yang. They could send him to ECW and feud him with Super Crazy or Tony Mamaluke or someone, but no. He had a dark match tonight, and debuted his new gimmick. I believe someone on the creative team has been watching a lot of Shanghai Noon, because
Jimmy Yang came out in a leather cowboy outfit, complete with confederate flag on his back. He beat Tatanka (Cowboy Vs Indian, you see) with a rollup and his feet on the ropes. There were alternating chants of "Brokeback Mountain" and "YMCA".
