All up best night ever..

I was seated along the guard rail on the ramp..so i got to see the wrestlers up close quite often..and i was fairly close to the ring also..maybe around 8-12m away from the ring.

Night starts off with the Lillyn (omg she is hot..) getting in the ring and starts to sing the anthem..then mid way through La'Resitance music hits and out they come.

They looked huge..suprised me alot, they begin to sing the canadian anthem lol, after a few words and some real heavy Boo's Regal and Tajiri run out to a huge cheer.

Match :1 This was a good opening match, Regal couldnt stop laughing when the crowd cheered " You are a wanker" to rob conway. no mist from tajiri in this match but he did do some great moves.

winners were tajiri and regal by pin

Match :2 next match begins right away with Tomko walking out (he was rock solid..huge arms) taking on the hurricane.

This wasnt a one sided match like many expected, Helms sold moves well and tomko was doing alright selling the mean look..best part was probably the shoulder charge challange they had in which helms tried 3 times to take him down only to fail 2 times but land an Enzguri on tomko lol.

Tomko won this match with a big boot to the head of helms, after the match helms got a big cheer.

Match :3 The Masterpeice vs Val Venis, Chirs masters is an animal of a man but the amount of zits and warts on his back is truly ugly lol..his funniest moment was when he was walking down the ramp and i tried to shake his hand..he turns around and says "You think ill let you touch the masterpeice with that hand??"..lol.

Val didnt have a chance but he did put on a good enough show, he eventually tapped out from the full nelson submission.

match :4 Stacy walks out (the word hot is an understatment) and introduces Eric Bischoff, he played to the crowd well..lol on his exit up the ramp he kinda trips lol.

Victoria vs Molly with special guest ref christy hemme,

Christy came out first and my god she is hot..alot smaller then i expected though..got to touch her..not anywhere fancy but still..lol eat that R69 8).

Victoria is alot better looking then i expected also..

match wasnt spectacular..winner via pin was victoria from the widows peak.

Match :5 This was my idol Captain Charisma vs Shelton for the IC belt.

Christain walks out with tomko and im the only one going nuts in my section..i had like 20 guys yelling at me saying "take that christian shirt off"..

Christian grabbed the mic and yelled "the next person to call me a wanker ill get Tomko to kick your ass"...lol

Shelton came out to a huge cheer..the place was going nuts.

They went face to face and christian began to boast his skills and how he will win the belt..lol he started shaking his head and looked like he was going to fall into a fit. lol

This was easily in my mind the best match of the night, christian sold some great moves and shelton is just incredible in the ring.

Shelton won via a T bone suplex and the pin.

christian was leaving and was getting boo'd at..i was there standing on a chair tapping my chest all christian style..lol he looked over and just laughed and winked lol..PURE GOLD..and not in the gay way.

Match :6 Hussien vs Y2J, hussin is real big..and davari was laughing the entire time walking down the ramp.

He gave a speech on how the only good thing about australia was that it was in the near nothing other then water..davari then done his signiture translation, he got alot of heat.

Y2J came out to one of the biggest cheers of the night and hyped the crowd real well.

Hussin hit the flat liner and got the win and on his exit looked back and spat on the floor lmao. Jericho then had a cheer off with the crowd and really got them fired up.

Match :7 Edge vs Kan, i really wanted to see the flames from kanes pyro but it didnt happen edge did have his smoke though.

Match wasnt anything great it just played to the crowd well and kane won via pin..he landed a great choke slam though.

Edge made his way up the ramp after a few minutes of falling over and trying to get up...he was helped up by Earl Hebner..i looked at my friend and told him to help me start the "you screwd bret chant"..lol so we stood there yelling..earl stops and looks back at us..and just stared for like a minute, lol he kept giving me these death stares lol.

Match :8 Batista & Beniot vs Flair and HHH.

Benoit got a big cheer but compared to batista it was nothing..it was the loudest chant ive heard in some time.

HHH then mocked a few guys in the crowd..lol he really did create heat by mocking some indian dude, a guy dressed like pipper and a some kid doing the "you cant see me" move.

Flair was funny as usual lol, the woo chants were crazy.

Tista kicked out from a pedegree and eventually landed a batista bomb on tripple h.

He celeberated a good 10mins lol..i stuck around to check out lillyn as she stood less then a 50cm away along the ramp..then the best thing ever..I GOT A HUG from lillyn!!!!

All up the matches were predictable but still 10/10..

Also it was filmed and the guys from foxtel wouldnt tell us what they will be used for.

Im 20yrs old and i was there standing up and had these 2 drunk guys telling me to move from my seat cause they wanted to touch batista i told em to piss off, one pushed me..i elbowed him in the jaw and he fell..his friend walked off.

-----------------------------

Before the event started i had some small kid (10yrs old or there abouts) trying to convince me he was Cena's cousin..he showed me a STG Dragons holagram card and said "see im not lying this is worth more then a ticket"...lol i laughed and told him his an idiot..he then walked to someone else and continued to tell people..lol.

Nice writeup, but I felt like the show was a big letdown. Not a single firework all night. No green lights even for Hurricane's entrance. Hassan/Daivari and Triple H were the only ones who made more than a token effort on the mic.

Christian was the best on show I felt. He really got me into it, and his match with Shelton was fairly good. The rest of them seemed to be more concerned about not getting injured it seemed, or keen to have a quiet Sunday, or both.

All in all I felt the crowd were really behind this show and the performers let us down.

With regards to the cameras, there was one still photographer and one cameraman operating, meaning the show wasn't filmed. They just do that at house shows so if the need arises they can show glimpses of footage later on. They'll probably do a package next week on the Aussie tour and just show a few shots of the fans and what not.

My thoughts on the matches:

Tajiri/Regal vs. La Resistance - mediocre match, no big spots and no real flow. Poor ending. 4/10

Tomko vs. Hurricane - even Hurricane didn't seem up for this one. Nothing exciting to report and went as expected. No mic work. 3/10

Masters vs. Venus - Val was similar to Hurricane in this, even for an experienced guy he looked burnt out. At least this match had a few good bumps and Masters got a bit of heat. 5/10

Victoria vs. Molly - As usual, Molly put in and got good heat for a chick. Christy as ref was stomach-churning, though - never have I seen a ref celebrate with the winner instead of helping the clearly unwell loser in the ring. Let alone the counts, inability to position herself in the ring, and ... you get the idea. 4/10

Christian vs. Shelton - Good match. My only gripe would be the excessive showpony gear the guys insisted on at the start, but this seemed a common theme throughout the night (timewasting means less action and less chance of injury!). But compared to the others, the match was a good spectacle. Tomko got booted and that was well cheered. Shelton is also quite over and didn't hurt his cause. Christian tried to get heat but I think he had more fans than knockers here - he is just hilarious. 7/10

Jericho vs. Hassan - Probably the biggest letdown from my perspective here was that Hassan's entrance wasn't used to interrupt Jericho working the crowd - that's the best way for him to come out. Jericho wasn't his usual hyped up self and as with everybody else wasn't really willing to put himself on the line by any measure. Hassan was ok but really didn't earn much heat at all. 5/10

Edge vs. Kane - Kane's entrance with no fire is really disappointing. Edge got a massive cheer on his arrival. The two worked a fairly standard kind of match but it did seem awfully strange to me that Kane got a clean win given Edge's recent push. Edge added a nice touch after Kane left by feigning concussion and trying to fight on before being told the opponent had beaten him and long since left. 6/10

Benoit/Batista vs. Triple H/Flair - the Aussie crowd was really pleased to see Triple H, given that he was a no-show last time the Raw roster visited Sydney. He was sharp to identify that but made the mistake of earning the ire of one or two fans - to the great delight of the rest of the audience who found it wonderfully entertaining. He, Benoit and Flair worked a pretty good psychology in the match and put Batista over well, who compared to those three still looks like a pawn in a game of chess. A huge excess of showpony-ing and lazy holds early on really took the edge off the match though. Poor Benoit had to clap the crowd up a good 4 or 5 times just to keep them awake. Built to a nice finish though. 7/10

Overall the show was pretty average and I'll give it a 5/10. I would have rathered seen a bunch of nonames willing to put themselves on the line for a good match than what I saw on Saturday night.
