Special thanks to Carl Melton for the following report:
I didn’t take notes and had a few drinks during the show so here’s what I remember.
The show opened with Batista telling us that it’s on with him and the Undertaker. That’s why he laid him out on Sunday. Better interview than I expected and the crowd was kind of unsure what to do at first. Undertaker will respond to him on next week’s show.
Joey Mercury teamed up with Deuce and Domino to beat Matt Hardy and the tag champs in a six man match.
They aired the Curt Hennig Hall of Fame video and the people loved it. Hennig got a big pop.
Chavo Guerrero beat Scotty Too Hotty as we got to see the new faces of the Cruiserweight division.
They did another Finlay and Little Bastard vs. The Boogeymen match. I didn’t catch who won.
Rey Mysterio came out and talked to the fans. He’s doing great and will be back in action soon. The fans loved him. Then Vince McMahon came out with Umaga and you can guess where this went. Vince ran down Rey, Rey stood up to him, Vince hit Rey and Umaga laid him out. He won’t be back so soon after all!
Booker T beat Kane to win the Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. It was a pins count anywhere and Booker got the pin after Khali came out and attacked Kane. He wanted better competition? Looks like he has Kane for Mania.
The main event saw Batista beat Mr. Kennedy to keep the title. After the match, Batista was feeling all good about himself when, you guessed it, out came the dead man. Taker laid the chokeslam on him and got a big pop for his efforts.
