Deuce & Domino did an interview with some new announcer dude. It was their usual '70s type of speak with one of them (the short haired one) being extra aggressive.

Deuce & Domino vs. London & Kendrick vs. Regal & Taylor for the Tag Titles This match was in the 15 minute range or so. Much of it was spent with Kendrick getting worked over by the four heels. The guy behind me wouldn't shut up as he yelled for Regal to tag with Nigel McGuinness while another guy in the area yelled at him to shut up before he opens up a can of whoop ass. That got a loud ovation. Anyway, London came in after the tag, cleaned house and went for something off the top when Cherry shoved him off and the champs got the pin. I don't remember which one. The one with the longer hair, I think.

Backstage, Teddy Long credited Vickie Guerrero with booking Kane vs. Henry in a Lumberjack match at One Night Stand. Then Kristal pondered about what would happen if Teddy and her weren't on the same brand after the draft. The segment ended with Vickie telling Teddy & Kristal to go on a romantic night out on the town because she would take care of the rest of the show. And then she did nothing to take care of the show. Weird segment.

Main Event Interview Batista was a guest on the Cutting Edge show. Edge got a massive pop on the way out. I'd say it was the biggest of the night. He had a sore throat, so they got right to the point. He beat Undertaker and he beat Batista, so he's not afraid of him. Then he gently slapped him, Batista gently slapped back. Then they gently nudged eachother and the segment ended with Batista decking him with a right hand.

Smackdown ended at about 9:40 so there was a 20 minute wait for ECW.

I'm not sure how it came across on TV, but we were pretty tired for ECW. Also, the fact that ECW airs at 12am on Friday nights in Canada doesn't help. A lot of people didn't know who the wrestlers were. Some quick notes on it.

Surprised to see Orton. He got a nice pop and Dreamer's was okay.

The Punk/Burke match was well received. There was a lot of support for Punk while very few people knew Burke. Even less people knew Cor Von, but there was a massive ovation for the pounce through the table.

Most people thought Vince/Lashley would be in the arena, so there was a lot of booing when we found it was just going to be by video.
