The builing was Packed solid there were only a few empty seats in the
section where the main camera was! Me and my mate had the best seats..Directly
opposite the Entrance ramp.

Tony Chimel welcomes us and informs us that Velocity is on next!

Velocity:

Chris Benoit v Vito
HUGE ovation for Benoit who comes out first. Good match but a few to many
sleeper holds.
Winner via Crossface: Chris Benoit

Matt Hardy vs Jobber
Huge pop for Hardy but there were a few "We want Egde" and "Edge screwed
Lita" Chants but either Matt didnt hear them or he ignored them. Short dull Match
Winner via Twist of Fate: Matt Hardy

Paul Burchill v Nunzio:
Massive pop for the pirate here. His entrance was awesome, he swung in from
a rope off the top off a double decker bus! Short one sided match.
Winner via C4 (moonsault into Rock Botton) Burchill

a lot of Heat here for OJ and a great reaction for Scotty.
Winner via Fame-asser: Orlando Jordan

Smackdown!:
The piro was amazing! it really got the crowd going! after a few seconds a
video was shown hyping the main event World Title match

JBL's Music hits. JBL arrives in his classic limo and really rips in to the
UK audience saying how we are a former empire and should kneel to America,
sayin the U.S title is the most important belt in wrestling today and how Tony
Blair is nothing more than Bush's Puddle dog.
Regal interupts and gets a huge ovation.

Slow paced, physical match.

Booker T interview:
Claims he'll be the best KOTR ever. Gunner Scott interupts and says if
Booker Thought his win 2 weeks ago was a fluke then he would be more than happy to
give Booker a rematch. Booker played the "Not well enough to wrestle card"
again and said he had a chest infection and he said if Gunner wanted a match
Booker would find him a match.

MNM and Gregory Helms v London/Kendrick and Super Crazy:
It was good to see that Helms had a speedy recovery and it was great to see
him back in the ring. Super Crazy got the biggest pop of the 6. Short but
quick paced.

Backstage segment:
Melina shouted at Mercury and Nitro for losing 4 weeks in a row. She then
bumped into Jillian and made fun of the fact that JBL fired her. Melina said
she'd would pay Jillian to put her make up on. Jillian then threw make up in her
face. Melina answered with through powder all over Jillian. The two brawled
till MNM broke it up.

Great Kahli inerview: Nothing special. Just says he broke the spirit of the
Undertaker.

Lashley promo:
Lashley said this is the biggest match in his career, he said he has the
chance to join great KOTR's like Bret Hart(Big pop), Triple H(Decent pop) and
Stone Cold Steve Austin (huge pop)
and that he couldn't wait.

KOTR 1st Round Match:
Lashley v Henry

Huge pop for Angle, loads of You suck chants. Rey enters to a huge reaction
but there were a few boo's in the audience. Awesome match, Fast paced, loads
of near falls, a little bit short. Lots of "Eddie" "619" "Angle Sucks" "Lets
go Angle" chants and PLENTY of boo's for Rey. The highlights were a split
legged body scissors into a bulldog, a belly to belly over the top rope by Angle
and a top rope belly to belly and a guillotine leg drop wen Kurt was in
between the top n 2nd rope while getting in the ring. The end came wen Rey
countered the Angle slam into a hurracanrana into the 2nd rope, the crowd are on
their feet,619 connects, Rey goes for the west cost pop but Angle amazingly
counters it into the Ankle Lock. Rey goes for the Ropes but Angle pulls him in.

angle and the match is thrown out.
