*SPOILERS* WWE Dark Match and Heat Taping Results from Omaha, Nebraska
    Submitted by Daniel Pena on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 12:36 AM EST



    Thanks to Stevie J of AngryMarks.com for the report.

    The Qwest Center was packed long before showtime at 6:45
    tonight, and the crowd stayed hot for the entire night.

    * Sean O'Haire v. Trevor Murdoch

    This was a dark match before Heat was taped. I had gotten
    wind that O'Haire would be working a tryout match before
    the show from Mad Monk, so I wasn't that surprised to see
    him although I'm sure a lot of people were. They already
    had an entrance video ready for him so either they recycled
    the old one or he's already signed and coming back for sure.
    He looks a little less ripped than last time although with
    the wellness program that may be for the best; he's still
    in fine shape overall (especially noticable wrestling the
    Texas redneck Murdoch). Murdoch wins with the ropes for
    leverage and got huge boos, O'Haire got a good babyface
    pop and seems ready for that role if brought in. Funny
    to note Murdoch still comes out to his tag team's entrance
    music and video and still has the Murdoch/Cade tights.

    * Chavo Guerrero v. Rob Conway

    Conway came out first and got withering heat for a guy who
    hasn't been on TV forever, including a surprising number
    of "FRENCH FAG" and "GO BACK TO FRANCE" comments - nice
    to see people haven't forgotten La Resistance. Chavo got
    a HYOOOOGE babyface pop when his music played and the
    Eddie chant started almost immediately, prompting at least
    one person in the crowd to hold up a "Chavo's not Eddie"
    sign. Guerrero played face-in-peril for most of the match
    but made a strong comeback and hit the frogsplash for the
    win. If this one isn't on Heat I'll really be surprised.

    * Lance Cade v. Ace Steele

    The jabroni doing the job made his way down to the ring
    before Cade and I got his attention by yelling "I don't
    even know who you are BUT YOU ALREADY SUCK" which to my
    surprise actually got him to turn around, smirk and yell
    back "Hey thanks a lot." A video package aired and when
    it was over Cade came out, and got a pretty good heel
    reaction too for a guy who's never on TV these days either.
    Steele was billed as the local guy but I'd never seen or
    heard of him and I watch the Midwest Pro Wrestling show
    on Cable 23 every Friday night. Nevertheless this was
    a hot crowd and they bought him as the babyface, though
    just to be a smart-ass I rooted for Cade. Cade played
    up being too good for this jabroni and got the best of him
    for most of them match, although Steele got a few comebacks.
    I believe Cade's big move was a top rope elbow but I
    could be wrong. Anyway he got the win and a round of boos.

    * Snitsky v. Golddust

    This appeared to be the main event of Heat and came after
    they shot a bunch of t-shirts into the crowd, so everybody
    was already pumped up when Golddust's music hit and he got
    a nice babyface reaction, helped by the fact he got his
    full entrance with the gold spotlights and sprinkling gold
    pyrotechnics. Snitsky was mostly met with apathy and some
    derisive chants for his backne (somebody say WELLNESS~!)
    and Golddust was the face for the entire match. Snitsky
    beat down Golddust with power moves for most of the match
    but Dust made a comeback for the win and got a nice pop
    afterward, which he played up to the crowd as he left.
    This was the last match before Raw so the rest of the time
    was video packages, promos and the "Live from Omaha" break
    at the quarter hour.

    * Raw notes

    They may claim TNA is not the competition but they sure
    don't like the signs. Among the many they confiscated
    were "TNA IS BETTER" and my own sign "I LIKE EVERYBODY
    NAMED STYLES~!" although for some reason they didn't grab
    the "AJ STYLES VS. RVD" sign, probably because they didn't
    see it. The breaks that were probably on WWE Unlimited
    included Carlito and Chris Masters cutting a Wrestlemania
    22 promo, including Masters trying to heel it up by talking
    smack about Nebraska. Carlito was playing babyface behind
    his back - when the crowd started chanting 'YOU SUCK' at
    Masters, Carlito pointed at Masters and started saying it
    too then pretended he didn't do anything when Chris turned
    around and looked his way. Hella funny shit. Vince was a
    monster heel the entire night long and almost managed to
    turn Cena babyface but by the time the show was over the
    boos were just as loud as the cheers, particularly as the
    show went off the air and both Cena and HBK stood there
    bleeding. There was no house match afterwards, Lilian
    just thanked everybody and we all went home. A bit of a
    ripoff after paying the inflated $70 price for floor seats
    but I knew they were going to jack them up the week before
    Wrestlemania not to mention they wouldn't give away any
    free matches that close to a PPV. Oh I almost forgot the
    other WWE Unlimited segments included a Kiss Cam hosted by
    Maria where Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson snogged (EWW)
    and another of the Schoolteacher Striker segments where
    he said the only person in the building tonight who was
    smarter than him was of course Vince himself.
