    Report sent in by John Dubois

    * Show began at 1:00 pm and was billed as Pre-Game Pandimonium...attendance
    was around 5,000 due in part to bitter cold and two regional teams in the Super
    Bowl. None of the four advertised matches took place.

    Teddy Long intro's the afternoons matches and after a lengthy, lengthy King
    Booker intro the action begins...

    (1) Kane vs King Booker.....Very solid match with good efforts from both.
    Booker mugged for the folks around the ring alot and flash bulbs were popping
    all over. Kane won in about 10 minutes with a choke slam.

    Kelly's extreme expose was next for a couple minutes and Kelly was on my side
    of the ring. WOW.. All three ladies were lovely in person but Kelly
    especailly was jaw dropping....Expose was interupted by Matt Striker who yells at
    Kelly before Cm Punk storms the ring

    (2) Cm Punk vs Matt Striker....Very little buzz for Punk as he was not
    introduced and few people seemed to know who he was...Some decent action...Punk won
    in about 8 minutes via tap out....

    (3) Duece / Dominoe w/ Cherry vs Kendrick/ London with Ashley for the tag
    titles.....Kendrick pinned Dominoe at about the 15 min mark when the ref was
    distracted by Cherry...Alot of Happy Days chants for the new comers and there was
    some arguing between Cherry and Dominoe after the match.

    (4) Lashly vs Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel..for the ECW title...True surprise of the
    card..Im not a Lashly fan but he really brought it, moved well, and Thorn got
    in some major offense as well...Lashley won at about the 15 min mark with a
    running slam..Added bonus was Ariel was on my side of the ring and wasnt wearing
    much....

    (5) Boogeyman vs Finlay...Low light of the card...Very slow and honestly
    Boogeyman cant move at all...Almost no crowd reaction till Little Bastard
    appeared...Very slow even at 10 min..Finlay won with a shalalee shot....

    10 min intermission

    (6) MVP vs Beniot for the US title...Standard back and forth with a few near
    falls before MVP tapped to the cross face at about 12 min..This match was
    billed as Chavo vs Beniot which left many people in my section at least
    disappointed....

    (7)Alpha Male/ Burke Vs Dreamer and RVD....Very solid tag match...Never seen
    RVD in person before and he is lightning quick...Nice offense on both sides
    and RVD's dive into the aisle onto both men was a card higlight...Alpha Male
    pinned Dreamer at about 15 min...Dreamer and RVD both shook alot of hands at
    ringside and Dreamer gave the shirt he wore in the match to a very young child
    which was classy...RVD was way over with the crowd and will be a big loss if he
    should leave WWE.

    (8) Batista vs Mr Kennedy for the world title...Kennedy is awesome on the
    mic...The man is Jericho kicked up a notch to me...Batista was over beyond
    words...He favored his thigh throughout the match but looked good...Nice offense
    from both sides before Batista won on a Batista bomb at about the 20 min
    mark.

    Biggest Pops Most Heat

    (1) Bautista (1) Booker
    (2) RVD (2) Kennedy
    (3) London/ Kendrick (3) Deuce/ Dominoe

    * First live show Ive been to in five years. Had a great time. Worth it to
    go live.*
