Here are the results of the Barrie Ontario stop for the SmackDown/ECW WrestleMania
Revenge Tour
By: Jeff L., Rajah reader...
Got to the arena 3 hours early...
Funaki, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kristal, & Paul London all stopped for pictures with my
boys, and signed tons of autographs, along with Jillian hall...
MVP played up to the fans, telling us to remember he"beat a CANADIAN for the US Title!"
Edge was the last to show.
Throughout the evening, Tony Chimmel kept playing to the fans...as a bad guy! He
agreed with any anti-Canadian comment made!! It was hilarious!!
CM Punk defeated Snitsky in a good opening match.
Mark Henry squashed Funaki. Funaki ran away for the first half of the match, till
Henry actually caught him, then it was over...
Cody Runnels (Introduced as Cody Rhodes) vs Elijah Burke: Burke took the mic,
telling us that he can't stand Barrie, Ontario, and that he was going to treat Cody
just like the rest of us..like pieces of crap to flush... Which all means that the
crowd popped HUGE when Cody PINNED Burke in the centre of the ring!!
Chavo Guererro defeated Jimmy Wang Yang in a Crusierweight Title Match...Good match,
lots of quick offense and arial maneuvers from Yang...Chavo got in the Three Amigos,
and the Frog Splash for the win.
Tommy Dreamer defeated Marcus Cor Von in an Extreme Rules Match. Trash cans and
Kendo Sticks and Tables, oh my! Cor Von whipped Dreamer with the Sticks for the
latter part of the match, before Dreamer came back, giving Cor Von the Dreamer
Driver through the table! Crowd popped large again...
Jillian Hall came out to toss t-shirts. She tossed one, then dropped the next and
decided we needed to hear her sing instead, which caused Kristal to come out and
pound on her (I went up to ringside for pictures and she tossed a shirt right in my
empty seat...doh!)
Triple Threat WWE Tag Team Title Match: Deuce and Domino (w/ Cherry...seemed chilly
in the arena, too!) defeated Paul London & Brian Kendrick and William Regal & Dave
Taylor with a cheap shot roll up...
US Title Match: MVP said he didn't need to defend his belt in front of Canadian
fans, which brings out...Kane! Kane wins by DQ when MVP hits him with a
chair...after the match, MVP gets the chokeslam from hell...
Main Event: World Title Match: Edge vs Chris Benoit. Place popped large for both,
but Edge got top honours.. good 15-20 minute match, with all signature moves
used...Edge gets the win with a set of brass (taped?) knuckles.
Overall a good show, with higher caliber matches than I expected. I think Jillian
got booed the most, when she started to sing...Edge got the biggest pop of the night
(After all, he's the hometown boy!)
