Rey Mysterio was injured when he missed the ropes on the 619 and slammed into the barrier. HBK immediately hit sweet chin music on Kane and Jericho to end the match. After about 5 minutes of people running from back stage to check on Rey, he hobbled to the back on HBK's shoulder. As we were leaving the parking lot an ambulance with full lights and siren comming from the back stage area caused us to have to pull off the road. This appeared to be genuine and house shows usually end with the faces celebrating with the crowd.
Edge was advertised for this match but was replaced by Kane.
Other results:
Priceless defeated Crime Time in one of best matches of the night.
Mike Knox defeated Charlie "Hacksaw" Haas
CM Punk defeated Regal, with Layla in the worst match. They were both just going through the motions.
Finley, with Hornswaggle, defeated Mark Henry in a Belfast Brawl which included Finley hitting Henry in the face with a toilet seat. This match really got the crowd riled up with Henry flashing the University of Texas "Hook 'Em Horns" sign while Finley and Hornswagle did the Texas Tech "Guns Up".
Highlight of the evening was when Finley and Hornswagle got a bunch of kids from the audience and let them run and dance with Hornswagle. The audience loved this.
Mickie James, Melina and Kofi Kingston won over Beth Phoenix, Rosa and Santino. Rosa and Mickie had a great time with Rosa's inexperience.
Teddy Long was in attendance and introduced a ECW title match between Swager and Christian. Lot of marks in the crowd thought that the ECW title was going to change hands at a house show right before Mania. Swager won.
Low point of the evening was Jericho way over selling his character before the match and then running around with his naked butt hanging out after HBK pulled down his trunks. I am still trying to erase that image from my memory.
Crime Time in the opening match got a huge pop. Also great reception for Mysterio and HBK.
Biggest heat goes to Jericho and Mark Henry. Rosa did a great job of selling her inexperiencec character and got some good heat. Swager also got some heat.
