Report sent in by Chris Colom Went to the show last night at Nassau Coliseum and had a great time. Show was almost definitively a sellout, with A LOT of kids in attendance. It was announced that the Big Show would not be there as advertised, which was met with boos. RVD vs. Carlito - Smart choice for the opener as RVD's music hitting got the crowd in a frenzy. Carlito with some scattered cheers, but big time boo's too. Solid match, that saw Carlito go for the apple, only to get kicked in the face, and RVD hits a bit of a sloppy 5-star frog splash for the win. RVD is great with the fans, high fiving pretty much every fan in the front row after the match. Goldust Vs. Tyson Tomko - this was advertised as Chavo vs. Tomko, but instead we get Goldust. (yippee) Mild cheering for Goldust, but nothing special. Match is met with some boring chants. Not even boos for Tomko, really nobody cared. Goldust wins with the Curtain Call. Spirit Squad Vs. Val Venis and Viscera - I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Spirit Squad was freaking hilarious, and these guys are heat machines. Decent pop for Val and big Vis. Funny moment when Val is going to throw his towel into the crowd, the Spirit Squad would run around the ring to the side he wanted to throw it to and jump up and down like they wanted it. Crowd was simultaneously booing and cracking up. Ok match, Val carried the load for his team, while Doane and Jeter both look decent in the ring. Hot tag to Vis, who rips off Doanes shirt and slaps him hard in the chest to a good pop. Val tags in and goes up top for the Money Shot after the obligatory Viscera dry hump, but is hit the megaphone while ref is distracted. Spirit Squad wins. Chris Masters Vs. Eugene - Guess they had to call an audible here as HBK was supposed to meet Masters. Surprisingly a bunch of scattered cheers for the Masterpiece. (Including my sister who is absolutley in love with him) Eugene got a decent pop from the kids, and got big laughs for doing his routine with Masters' robe. Short match, Eugene gets in the airplane spin and tries for the Masterlock, but is reversed and goes down quickly to the real thing. Victoria and Candice Michelle Vs. Trish and Mickie James - Ashley was the guest ring announcer for this match and got a big Long Island hometown pop coming out. Fairly muted reaction for the women's entrances, until Trish blew the roof off the place, I couldn't believe how big her pop was. Formula women's match, Trish, Mickie, and Victoria all hit some nice moves while Candice...um..grabbed her wand once I think. Trish wins with the Chick Kick. While celebrating with Ashley after the match, Mickie goes crazy and tries to tear into Ashley. Trish tells her to back off, Mickie leaves in a rage while the crowd chants "She's a psycho." Matt Striker came out next. Seems like not many people knew who he was, but he still got MAJOR heat for ripping on the intelligence of people from Long Island, and ripped into Tazz and ECW. Tazz enters to a decent pop. My friend and I got a weak ECW chant going, but again, a lot of kids tonight so I guess that was why this whole segment didn't have as great of a reaction as I had hoped. Tazz makes fun of Striker for a bit, then says he's gonna choke him out and does. Tazz says he's gonna bring someone out to help him make the announcement, and I was thinking maybe Joey Styles. Instead PAUL HEYMAN came out to the ECW music and my buddy and I marked out big time, though once again, smaller reaction then I had hoped for from the crowd. They announce that tickets go on sale for the next ECW PPV on April 15th and will take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom on June 12th. Intermission- I left my seat to hit the bathroom and talk to a friend for a bit. I heard Snitsky's music hit and decided it was time for a cigarette break too. Heard Kane's music from the lobby, he got a big pop coming out. Snitsky vs. Kane. - Made it back in for the end, Kane hits the clotheseline off the top rope to a big pop. Snitsky tries for a pumphandle slam....and drops Kane. Literally, he wasn't even close to getting him up. Audible is called, Kane slips out of a bodyslam, hits the chokeslam for the 3 count. Shelton Benjamin & Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair - Mixed reaction for Shelton's entrance. HUGE face reaction for Triple H's entrance. Michaels and Flair both get even bigger reactions, with lots of WOO-ing for The Nature Boy. Fun match, Michaels pulls down Triple H's tights so his backside hung out for a minute or so, crowd ate it up. Crowd went nuts for everything Flair does. End comes with Triple H going for a Pedigree on Flair, but Michaels hits him with Sweet Chin Music. Flair then puts the figure four on Shelton for the tapout win. The faces leave to huge cheers, leaving Shelton and Trips in the ring. They exchange words, which ends with Triple H giving him the Pedigree to a huge pop, then grabs the mic and says "Long Island, tell him to call his momma." Crowd is merciless to Shelton here. Just a really fun match and MOTN for me, with 3 legends in there. John Cena Vs. Edge - Long Island's own Mick Foley is the special referee, he comes out to a massive pop. He says despite getting roughed up by Edge the other night, he somehow has made it here for 2 reasons: A) He has the strength of 10 men. B) he lives right up the road. Crowd eats it up. He blames Lita and her boobs for distracting him on Thursday night and thusly bans her...and her boobs from ringside. Edge comes out to mostly boo's and some cheers. Crowd gets heated when he takes a kid's Cena sign and rips it up walking down the aisle. Now it was time for Cena. I must say after last night, I know why he's still WWE champion. I earlier mentioned the sheer number of children in crowd, and I swear to god just about every one of them had at LEAST 1 piece of John Cena merchandise. Also some intermittent "We want Cena" chants throughout the night. Cena's music hits to the largest pop of the night BY FAR. Decent match, Edge stalls a lot early, they brawl through the crowd a bit with Cena using some kid's John Cena inflatable hand to do the "You can't see me" to Edge. Some teenagers in my section started booing Cena, but they were such in the minority that they were often drowned out by the kids going nuts. Cena wins with the F-U, crowd goes home happy. I should really note too that Edge does in amazing job as a heel here too. Left a short time after the bell, but I assume there was some more celebrating in the ring for Foley and Cena. Biggest Pops(in order): Cena (and i mean HUGE) Michaels/Flair/Foley (hard to tell which was bigger, all very large pops) Triple H RVD Trish Kane Biggest Heat: Matt Striker (once he started talking) Spirit Squad Carlito (some cheers too) Edge (also some cheers, but heat grew as match went on) Shelton (after the match with the momma chants) *NEW GALLERY* Amazing!
