WWE Smackdown and ECW Tour in Auckland, Baby!!!
I just got home from the WWE Smackdown and ECW Tour at Vector Arena and I'll freely admit that this was the BEST wrestling event I've EVER.. eeeeee..eeevvvvaaaaa.. been to bar none. This is after attending (at least) seven events for Smackdown, ECW, and Raw right here in NZ and Australia. It absolutely freakin rocked!Straight off the bat, the one and only, Shane O'Mac came out to announce Undertaker's "farewell tour" news and that he was allowed to compete in this very ring tonight. Woot! Shane's surpise appearance popped big time for the Below the Belt crew (and my nephew) who had no idea he was coming. To hear that music ("Here comes the Money") was flippin sweet too. Yeeeeaaaah
We'll be posting a review of this event probably for the very first episode of BTB Season Two in which we'll go into more detail of the event. In the meantime here's the card (as best as I can recall right now)..
Kelly Kelly
Who sounds like a chipmunk (on helium) talks about crap that no one cares about. Unfortunately, not the last we'll hear from her. Whoever came up with the idea to give her a mic is an idiot. She's in the WWE to look hot and that's it!
Shane McMahon
Special announcement of Undertaker's "Farewell Tour" and inclusion on the card for tonight's show
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP:
Matt Hardy (c) vs Chuck Polumbo
Massive pops for Hardy. The crowd goes wild. Hardy took the win after a Twist of Fate
DIVAS:
Michelle McCool vs Victoria
Featuring a rather pointless interruption by Nattie Neidhart who was dressed alot like Golddust. WTF?! Michelle took the win but I can't remember how
BTW: Victoria was looking hooooooot tonight. I've got a rather flattering clip of her but you'll see.. maybe if you're nice ;)
MVP'S VIP LOUNGE:
Butch Miller & Tony Garea
I thought this Cutting Edge/Highlight Reel-type interview show was a bit long but then anything to do with the WWE, homegrown superstars and MVP ripping on New Zealand sports teams is gonna be sweet! His mic attacks to his opponents were funny as hell too. Simple bops to the head sent the old fellas flying. lolz
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:
The Miz (c) & Morrison (c) vs Finlay & Hornswoggle
Hilarious match with lots of gay chants to the champs. I liked how both teams lapped it up. Megalolz, and let's just say the champs retain but like it mattered. This match was one of the highlights of the night due to pure entertainment value
CM Punk vs Chavo Guerrero
This match seemed quite slow when compared to the others but spiked every now and again with a few nice spots. Not too helpful for taking pics though. Err. Punk took the win after a GTS
FYI: Punk had his Money in the Bank
BREAK
Way too short for my liking at prolly 10 or 15 mins. I was still in line (a nice short one) when the next match started with a boom. Yep, bugger! I missed the fireworks

FYI: I wasn't expecting fireworks at Vector because the venue's so small so I was very, very surprised to find we had them and LOTS of them too. Woot!
Kofi Kingston vs Shelton Benjamin
Shelton's the man! Kofi popped the crowd with his "boh boh boh" chants but I find the whole thing annoying. Kofi won the match. What a travesty!
Kane & The Undertaker vs Mark Henry & The Great Khali
Last minute change. MVP was supposed to team up with Henry but I like this idea more. Unfortunately, I can now say Khali sucks LIVE and on TV but at least his entrance is cool. Kane trying to break out of Khali's vice grip popped, I just thought Kane should've broken out of it instead of getting Taker's help. Undies rocks! The Brothers of Destruction won this one (of course) with a double chokeslam by both Kane and Taker
Vladimir Kozlov vs Shannon Moore
WTF?! Trying to slow the pace way, way down before the main event, eh WWE? Well, I'm onto ya! At least this match was short. Vladimir's entrance is very intimidating. I like it!!

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
Edge (c) vs Batista
Slow start. Big pops. Interference by La Familia (Chavo & Neely) who pummel Batista but he's saved by The Undertaker who comes out at the very last minute to give him a hand against the odds. Michael blows the absolutely best photo op ever, and then sadly.. it's all over!
Remember we'll try to add more detail when we film our next episode in a few weeks. So, thanks WWE! We had the best time ever. Woooooooooooooo!!!

PS: Hmm. So yeah! This is the short description of the event or at least it's supposed to be. lolz :p
