 Pretty awesome show, I marked myself silly and probably won't be able to talk tomorrow at work. Matches of the night: Punk d. Kane for the Intercontinental Championship- This was a really solid match. Both Kane and CM were cheered, but I definitely think Punk got the majority vote in the Assembly Hall tonight. Honestly, I think he got the biggest pop of the night.    Note of the night: Punk grabbed my hand and squeezed it as he ran by. Iz ded. Mickie came out briefly and asked a little kid to tell her where Wrestlemania 25 would be. The kid incorrectly guessed like Florida or something, then his parents told him and he goes, "HOUSTON, TEXAS!" So Mickie led the family down to front row seats. Dolph Ziggler d. Jamie Noble- Dolph was AWESOME, I'm a huge fan of his. He got on the mic and ranted about how this year was Dolph's year, and if you wanted to ride on his coattails, all you needed was to know one phrase: "Dolph Ziggler Rocks." People interchanged 'rocks' with 'sucks' -- but I can testify Dolph does NOT suck, as he handed Jamie's ass to him.   Melina d. Beth Pheonix for the Women's Championship- Pretty good match. Both women are stunning. Quick, painless, and easy. Beth was met with a "you suck" chant after her loss.      Jack Swagger d. Tommy Dreamer for the ECW Championship- Tommy came out first and reintroduced Mickie and another little kid, who was guest bell ringer for that match. He talked up his contract's impending end in June, and that if he doesn't win the ECW title by then, he was leaving for good. BUT if he won against Swagger tonight, he and Mickie would meet everyone at all the nice Champaign bars, and drinks would be on him. Unfortunately, people who expected a beer courtesy of Dreamer were to be disappointed, as Swagger picked up a win over the ECDub allum. Tommy was met with many "ECW, ECW!" chants and put up a good fight. He threw Swagger out of the ring at one point and mocked him by doing push-ups and a little jig in the ring. After the match, Mickie and the little girl joined him in the ring to cheer him up, and Tommy gave the girl his shirt. She immediately put it on. Very cute. No pics here. I let my camera cool down, but really, who cares?Rey Mysterio d. Mike Knox- Holy crap, little kids go BATexcretory matter CRAZY OVER REY MYSTERIO. Anyway, another good match. Rey landed the 619. End of story.     Legacy vs. Minority Report (my nickname for Kofi + Cryme Tyme)- I was pretty much distracted this entire match by Orton and his Adonisness. Legacy dominated the whole thing, just about. Randy was very interactive with the crowd. On his way to the ring, he was distracted by a gaggle of brats and approached them and stared them down. During the match, the family that had been resituated started barking up at him. One kid in the front yelled, "YOU SUCK, ORTON!" His response was golden: "Oh yeah? I suck? WELL, YOU'RE A snorkING FAT KID. I WILL BEAT YOU WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE. AN INCH!" It was hysterical. He mostly let Cody and Ted do the work, though he was in the ring for quite some time with JTG and kicked the noodles out of him. He slipped a blind tag on Ted while Ted was in the ring with Shad. Shad laid out Ted, Randy slithered into the ring and caught Shad in the RKO.     Another note of the night: Randy Orton winked at me. I was a melted mess after that. Main Event: HBK d. Y2J- Jericho comes out to probably the loudest jeers of the night, though there were a few loyalists, myself included. He goes on and on about hypocrites and liars, blah blah blah. Threatens the crowd. HBK comes out to a roaring crowd. Fat Kid's family says some excretory matter that gets on Y2J's nerves, he gets in Fat Kid Dad's face, before HBK comes over to intervene. HBK lifts Fat Kid Dad's arm in triumph. Match commences, both put in some serious effort. Jericho looked to win, trying the Walls about two or three times before finally trapping HBK. However, HBK hit the Sweet Chin Music and the show was done.     *THUMBS UP!*  |

Tommy Dreamer doing physical activity?
DOES NOT COMPUTE.

HBK worked a House Show? That's awesome that Dolph gets mic time during these! I've been to three house shows, and he's performed at each of them. They threw him in the main event, I'm sure, because Cena didn't play tonight. And yeah, Dolph is awesome. I was surprised that, even though most people booed him, there was a group of kids that cheered him on. |

He looks like he could be that kind of uncle who sits in a Lay-Z Boy chair in front of the TV with a beer permanently attatched to his fist. |

Yeah, he was SUPPOSED to be there, but I don't know what changed. My brother got a note from Ticketmaster saying he would not be wrestling in the show. People were offered refunds until the end of the second match. ALOT of people were pissed. |

That happened to me at a House Show in 2000. Rock was advertised in the main event against HHH for the WWF Championship. Rock then got booked to do SNL that night, and HHH went with him, so instead we got... wait for it... Kane vs. X-Pac as the main event. I almost took advantage of the refund. |

Though when someone in line mentioned they'd heard Randy might not show, I started to flip my shit. But, obviously, this was not the case and I went home very, very happy. |

Awesome.
I would love to see pictures.
And Orton continues to show why he is awesome... I LOVE how he plays up his character. It's like I'm in a time warp when he's around. Pure awesome.
This has inspired me to go to a house show we're having out here next month. Thanks!
