    Dark Matches

    Al Snow vs. ??
    (Crowd was popping for Snow couldn't make out this guys name, it sounded
    like Horseshoe so i think it might have been Horace Hogan. Snow wins with a
    Snow plow. I give the match a C.

    Molly vs. Ivory
    Croud was hot for this match, lots of HLA and We Want Puppies chants. Ivory
    wins with a shady move. Grade: C

    VELOCITY

    Billy Kidman vs. Crash
    Okay match at best. Crash pulls out what I would call an upset.
    Grade: C

    (Biggest mistake I've ever seen... I don't know how the WWE will cover their
    asses on this one)
    Shannon Moore vs "Val Venis"
    (A guy comes walking down the ramp and about 5 seconds after he walks out
    they play Val's music, video, and the ring announcer even says it's Val but
    its obvious it's not him... I saw him in an autograph booth in the parking
    lot...IT WASN'T VAL!!!)
    Anyway Moore picks up the win. (If they show this match on Saturday night,
    listen for the "You're not Val chant...I started it!)
    Grade:D

    Dvon vs John Cena
    Good match for Velocity, Cena picks up the win with a crappy rollup. After
    the match, the good Reverend takes out Cena with some high spots.
    Grade: B-

    SMACKDOWN

    Rikishi vs Chavo G.
    Funny match, Chavo attempts to give the Kish a stink face but to no avail.
    Rikishi wins wit a bonzai drop and treats the fans to a dance on the to of
    the stage.
    Grade: C

    Backstage, Angle tells Steph he wants a rematch with Benoit tonight, she
    agrees but makes it a Triple Threat with Rey Mysterio. (Which recevied huge
    pops from the home town crowd)

    Bikini Contest
    Torrie Wilson vs Nidia (Side note Nidia is a sweetheart, met her before the
    show.)
    Loud HLA chant throughout. Tazz in the ring announcing while Billy and Chuck
    are the Judges.
    Nidia gets a 6 and a 9 (69 ha ha ha)
    Torrie gets two 10's
    which promts Jamie Noble and Tajiri to come and challenge B&C to an
    inprompto match, which B&C win.

    Funaki shown outside Brock Lesnars locker room. Brock comes out and Funaki
    stumbles through asking him if he is going to give the Undertaker a rematch.
    Brock says that Funaki is the only person with the balls to ask him that to
    his face and he will give his answer to the people in the ring. Funaki comes
    to he ring with the chair the Undertaker wrapped around Brock's head at
    Unforgiven. Brock manhandles Funaki without saying one word. Perfect F-5.
    Brock leaves

    Time for the showstopper match of the night.
    Edge vs. Eddie G. (It had to have been a no DQ match... you'll see why in a
    minute)
    EXCELLENT MATCH!!!!!!!
    Long ass match cant remember everything that happened, but key points are
    Edge gets a ladder and inadvertenly nails the ref in the face. Eddie does
    his flipping powerbomb, Edge gets the win with a Edge-o-cution off the top
    of the ladder.
    Grade: A++

    Matt Hardy vs Undertaker
    Undertaker kicks Matts ass
    Brock runs out and splits open Taker with the belt.

    Triple Threat
    Loudest pop of the night...Rey Mysterio
    Great match all around, Rey spent most of the match on the outside. Hits the
    619 on both Angle and Benoit. Rey Rey gets the win with the west coast pop
    on Benoit.

    Nothing else happened after the cameras stoped rolling.

    Best show in San Diego in a long time. I went to the Vengence last December
    and this surpassed it by far. It is shows like this that will keep Samckdown
    better than Raw.
