Thanks to PWInsider.com for these:

- The entranceway for the wrestlers is made to resemble the Chicago skyline, with a giant Titantron above it.

- There are huge portraits of wrestlers hung throughout the arena. In addition to the current stars, there are portraits of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, Rock and Hardcore Holly. Yes, Hardcore Holly.

- There are already chants of "Cena Sucks" from the fans in the arena. Later, there were "Eddie" chants.

- The Wrestlemania 22 program has a review of classic title matches that have taken place in Chicago.

- A Wrestlemania video was shown on the screens, and the crowd popped when an image of Hulk Hogan appeared.

- Smackdown's Tony Chimmel came out to the ring, then introduced Raw's Lilian Garcia. Tazz & Michel Cole then entered, with Tazz receiving an "ECW" chant from the crowd. Jim Ross then entered to a huge pop and ovation from the crowd. Jerry Lawler came out, but no Jonathan Coachman next.

- They are holding an Inter-brand 18-Man Battle Royale for the fans in the building (and probably the DVD again). Participants included: Eugene, Viscera, Goldust, Gene Snitsky, Sylvan, Tyson Tomko, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Matt Striker, Super Crazy, Psicosis, Sho Funaki, Steven Richards, Johnny Nitro, Joey Mercury, Road Warrior Animal, William Regal, and Simon Dean. The wrestlers had T-shirts on representing their brand, similar to last year. Simon Dean grabbed the mic and tried to speak, but was immediately thrown out.

- Viscera won the battle royale, last eliminating Gene Snitsky. Viscera also eliminated MNM near the end. Viscera grabbed Lilian Garcia and went to kiss her. She started to protest, but then let him, and the crowd popped for it.

- The crowd went back to chanting "Cena Sucks" and "Eddie" waiting for the show to begin. Every shot of Cena in the opening video was booed.

- The heat from Kane's fire set off a pyro burst on the stage by accident.

- Kane & Show vs. Masters & Carlito - It was an OK opener. That pyro is insanely hot. Crowd liked it but wasn't insanely behind either team. They were behind Carlito big time during the dissension with Masters.

- Money in the Bank - RVD and Benjamin both made their best Mania showings to date here. Flair was good as Terry Funk, doing things he's far too old to do with the crowd loving him for it. Good showings by all involved. You have to love the huge ECW chant for the 5 star frog splash off the ladder. Far too many great spots to recap but an amazing match. Kudos to all involved.
