HBK was over, as expected. Orton got a mixed reaction, but it is funny to note that when he got in the ring and did his "raise the belt above my head" taunt thing, they raised the volume of his music very distinctively. The fans ate up the Sharpshooter, and the crossface. Some low tuned Beniot chants... Loads of HBK chants during the match, when he lost for the most part, within the boos, people didn't really know what to do, I'm surprised everyone didn't see it coming. (A big guy behind me made a funny comment as well during the start of the match, "This is professional wrestling, what the hell are they doing?"...lol
Y2J chants all during the video package for 'Tista and 'Taker. The fans went bonkers for Batista, but even that was outdone by 'Takers entrance. They wouldn't stop cheering his whole 3 hour walk to the ring, which is great considering how inactive the crowd was the whole night. Undertaker and Let's Go 'Taker chants lasted the whole match. Every person as far as the eye can see got on their feet after the first tombstone. The crowd I could tell really felt it after the second, even I thought he had it, but I knew Edge was yet to return... at first the crowd didn't know what really happened, the Ref just disappeared. Then once it became more clear they went INSANE. Batista going over got a very negative reaction.
After the show went off the air, 'Taker chants filled the arena again as Batista left for the lockeroom and 'Taker sat up, bloodied, beat up, hardly able to move, etc etc. The gong played and 'Takers music rolled, many people turned around to look while they were leaving.
All in all, good show, less than great crowd.
Biggest pops: Undertaker Triple H Jeff Hardy Batista CM Punk
MVP got the most heat, then Edge, but other than that it's hard to say. Maybe The Miz? Batista going over definitely stired some peoples tempers.
