Just got back from the Smackdown brand house show in Winnipeg. Looked to be a pretty big crowd, probably between 8,000-10,000.

1st Match- Big Show and Paul Heyman vs. Brock Lesnar. Started with Heyman interupting the ring announcer to cut down Winnipeg I think, couldn't really hear too well. Big Show came out next and then Brock to start the match. Heyman wasn't involved in the match at all. Show controlled the start of the match until Lesnar made the comeback. Lesnat won but didn't use the F5. He was about to leave but came back to F5 Heyman.

2nd Match- Matt Hardy vs. Kanyon. Hardy was the face and Kanyon the heel. Hardy got the victory here.

3rd Match- Jamie Noble w/Nidia vs. Billy Kidman (Cruiser Title). Not much to report, Kidman won but no Shooting Star Press.

4th Match- John Cena vs. Sean O'Haire. Cena came out and did his freestyle. He cut down Winnipeg and Canada from what I could hear. Got some good heat for that. O'Haire came out wearing a long, black trench coat and looked pretty cool. They went back and forth and Cena got the win with a rollup and pulling O'Haire's tights.

5th Match- Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros vs. Rey Mysterio and Rikishi (Tag Title Match). Good 3 way elimination match. Team Angle got a loud "You Suck" chant while their entrance music played. For some reason Eddie was over HUGE in Winnipeg. Los Guerreros were the first to get eliminated and then Team Angle beat Mysterio and Rikishi. After the match Rikishi got 2 kids into the ring and they danced with 'Kish and Rey. Big pop for that, especially when one of the kids did the worm!

15 minute intermission

6th Match- A-Train vs. Chris Benoit (Canada vs. US Match) A-Train got on the mic and talked how Benoit got lucky Thursday on Smackdown and said something about Canadians, couldn't hear much. Pretty much the same match they did on Smackdown. Benoit got the win.

7th Match- Dawn Marie vs. Torrie Wilson (Bra and Panties Match) Funaki was the special guest referee, he talked about being the #1 Smackdown announcer and how he liked Winnipeg. Similar to the match they had on Smackdown just without the sequence of pinning combinations. Torrie got the win which was really a shame.

8th- Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho (Canada vs. US, WWE Title Match) Angle got the most heat of the night. Very loud "You Suck" chant for his entrance music. Obviously Jericho was totally over, I've never heard cheers so loud in all my life! He came out wearing a Jets jersey that said Selanne on the back, of course that the fans loved it. Just as the match was starting, two guys in the crowd started to fight. Jericho grabbed the mic and told them if they didn't stop he was going to make them out to the ring and apologies to all the fans. Great match. Back and forth with Angle mostly on the offence. Finish came with Team Angle distracting Jericho giving Angle the rollup win. After the match, Team Angle did a 3 on 1 beat down until Benoit made the save.

Overall it was an awesome card, best one Winnipeg has had yet.
