Dark Match

-Ron Killings defeated Kenny Dykestra by pinfall, following a scissors kick. Decent opener to get the crowd going, lots of cheers for Killings.


Friday Night Smackdown

- Mark Henry defeated Kane, The Great Khali and Chuck Pulumbo in an over-the-top elimination match. Short match here, Pulumbo was eliminated first, followed by Kane and finally Khali.


- CM Punk defeated John Morrison in a Money in the Bank preview match. Fantastic match, Morrison dominated early but Punk battled back. The match ended when Punk hit the GTS. Highlight of the match was a beautiful top-rope frankensteiner by Punk, awesome move that really stood out in a great match.


- Kofi Kingston, Jessie and Festus defeated Cade, Murdoch and The Miz - Fairly short match, which ended with Kofi pinning The Miz after hitting his finisher.

- Batista is out next and sqaushes Snitsky with three moves. As soon as the bell rang he speared him, hit him with a spinebuster, followed by a Powerbomb. I seriously wonder if Snitsky is in the dog house, because it's been awhile since I've seen a sqaush like that. After the match Batista grabbed a chair and hit another Batistsa Bomb on Snitsky, onto the steel chair.

- A Diva "Wet and Wild" match, was next, which features 5 diva's and waterguns. On one team was Victoria and Marsye, the other was Cherry and Michelle McCool. Eve Torres was the guest ref. Victoria was wearing flippers, floaties and a snorkel, which was hilarious. Match wasn't all that great, mostly consisted of chicks spraying each other with water and throwing water balloons at each other. Cherry and McCool picked up the win.

-Y2J vs. MVP was up next, and before the match began, MVP cut a nice little promo, while the ring crew cleaned up from the Wet and Wild match. This match itself ended in a DQ. Decent match for what it was, DQ finish hurt it. MVP got disqaulified when he tried to hit Jericho with the US Title, but Jericho countered, sending MVP's face into the belt. He then went under the ring and got a ladder, ramming into MVP's head.

-The final segment was the "Death and Burial of the Undertaker's Wrestlemania undefeated Streak. The ring is set up with candles, an Undertaker portrait and of course, a casket. Basically Edge, along with Ryder, Hawkins and Vickie, talks about how he's going to win Sunday. They show a video package for him, saying he will "Be the Hero, that becomes a Legend." The Gong then hits, and Ryder and Hawkins leave the ring and run up the ramp to meet Taker. Of course he doesn't come down the ramp, the Casket door in the ring swings open and out comes Taker. He chokeslams Edge into the Casket and Tombstone's both Ryder and Hawkins, End Show.

-Dark match was Edge, MVP and Big Show vs. Batista, Taker and Ric Flair. Match went about 7-10 minutes, and ended with Flair making MVP Tap-out to the Figure Four. It was great to see Flair one last time here in NC, as I'm sure tonight was his next-to-last match. Afterwards, Batista got on the stick and talked about how much Flair meant to him, and what he did for his career. Flair then get's on the stick, with tears in his eyes and talks about how he wrestled in Fayetteville every other Monday for 15 years. He said if things didn't go his way Sunday, that he wanted to thank everyone in NC for supporting him all these years. Very emotional ending, most of the crowd stayed around for this, and it was worth seeing.


Biggest Pops:
Ric Flair - It's Flair country!
Batista - Surprisingly more then the Undertaker
Undertaker - Got some mad pops, but not as much as Batista
CM Punk - Good pop for Punk, lots of chants for him
y2j - big pop for Jericho after drilling MVP with the ladder.

Biggest Heat:
Edge - people hate this guy.
Vickie - People hate that guy's girl.
Chavo/MVP - these guys got almost equal amounts of heat.
Khali/Henry


Overall a decent show that exceeded my expectations.
