So my boss’s wife works for the Hydro and he managed to get two free tickets, so he gave them to me. Jolly nice of him, don’t you think?
Anyway, thought I’d give a few notes:
1 dark match at the start; Cedric Alexander and Ashante The Adonis vs Pretty Deadly. PD came out wearing (and kissing) England football strips to an obvious reaction. Fun little match where the heels lost.
Samantha Irvine came out to a HUGE pop. It was weird seeing Wade Barrett come to the ring slapping fans hands.
Samantha then said that France have the record for the loudest crowd ever, “are Scotland going to lose to France?” Not sure if it appears on tv but they had a “noise meter” flash up during the Cody/AJ promo because the fans were SO loud they almost derailed the whole thing. Cody had to stop more than once.
Speaking of chants, “heyyy Bayley” was being sung before the first match and then throughout most of the Naomi/Chelsea match. Poor Naomi, no-one cared.
If you’re trying to work out what they were singing at Santos Escobar, there’s a TV ad for buying second hand cars with the jingle “Just Sold My Car At We Buy Any Car.” This was changed to “Just Sold My Car to Santos Escobar.”
Two dark matches after the show, Sami Zayn going over Kaiser and then Sheamus vs Drew. Drew was back in classic babyface mode, slapping hands, posing, like it was Drew from a year ago. Sheamus switched heel halfway through the match, grabbing the mic and saying he needed an interpreter to understand Scottish fans. Then he asked what was the Germany/Scotland score (Scotland were currently losing 3-0).
All in all, fun show, especially for free. I had posted a thread earlier about potential trouble with Rangers/Celtic connotations because of Drew’s Rangers shirt etc. Couldn’t be further from the case, nothing like that at all.
