1. Intro by Teddy Long saying he has one hell of a show for us tonight. Decent pop.
2. Cruiserweight Championship Match Battle Royal
The men make their entrances and begin the brawl. Billy Kidman is the first one to get eliminated. About 10 minutes later, the final 2 in the ring are Paul London and Chavo. Good match up and near eliminations, Chavo gets superkicked while on the turnbuckle and falls out of the ring.
Winner: Paul London
3. Heidenreich vs. Renee Dupree
This match was more a filler. Heidenreich got a decent pop. Match didn't last too long, Heidenreich hits Renee with the Bossman slam for the pin. Then he picks up a kid from the crowd and they do the Heidenwalk.
Winner by pinfall: Heidenereich
4. Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas vs. MNM (Tag-Team Championship)
Holly got a good pop which surprised me, this match was like the televised ones. All the usual spots were hit, and Haas showed some good wrestling skills. Melina did some form of distraction and which led Holly getting MNM's finisher for the pinfall victory.
Winners by pinfall: MNM
5. Orlando Jordan vs. Rey Mysterio
Good match, OJ did some clean wrestling and had the upper hand for awhile. Rey uses his quickness to make the tide turn, eventually OJ rolls up Rey for the quick pin.
Winner by pinfall: Orlando Jordan
6. Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Akio
This was a filler match, with Scotty on most of the offense. Akio didn't do much, which led to the worm and the pin.
Winner by pinfall: Scotty 2 Hotty
7. Torrie Wilson vs. Michelle McCool
Wow, Michelle McCool was looking really fine, and same with Torrie. This was another filler match and half the arena left for the washroom. Torrie Wilson scores the pinfall, Michelle looked hurt by the way.
Winner by pinfall: Torrie Wilson
8. Carlito Caribbean Cool & Matt Morgan vs. The Big Show
Funny match, with a good pop for Carlito. Wow, Matt Morgan is pretty big compared to Big Show. The match was mostly Matt against the Big Show with Carlito playing the coward. Big Show finally gets his hands on Carlito for the chokeslam and the pin.
Winner by pinfall: The Big Show
9. John Cena vs. Kurt Angle (Main event Steel Cage match)
Of course, the kids went crazy for John Cena and Angle had the most heat. Good match. Angle bounces Cena's head off the cage and gets busted open. Angle does the ankle lock and almost makes him tap but Cena reverses it. Then Angle hits the Angleslam out of no where and almost wins the match. Cena kicks out at 2 1/2. Later, Cena hits the FU and gets the victory. Boo is all I can say. (LOL)
Overall, decent show. There was only about 5 thousand people there.
Biggest pop has to go to Cena with the biggest heat to Kurt Angle.
