HTM kept his jump suit on for the match. It was a short match that saw HTM get tripped by Beth Phoenix and the referee called for the bell and awarded the match to HTM. Marella chewed Phoenix out after the match and they started to head to the back. Before you knew it, Goldust and Roddy Piper made their way to ringside. Marella went back inside the ring and Piper, Goldust and HTM beat up on Marella including HTM hitting shake, rattle and roll. Sad to see a legend like Piper reduced to this.
Winner via disqualification: The Honky Tonk Man

The Undertaker vs. The Big Show
The WWE Universe Picks the Match: Last Man Standing, I Quit, or Knockout Match. The fans voted for: Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing received 49% of the vote, I Quit got 42% and the Knockout Match got 9%. I don't see the difference between a Last Man Standing match and a Knockout match.
There was a surprising lack of heat early on for this match after the ring entrances, which seems to be more and more common for Undertaker PPV matches. Big Show kept working Undertaker over with headbutts and body shots.
The match ended up turning into a wild brawl and the crowd got into the match as it went on. At one point both men were outside of the ring and the Big Show got Taker up on the railing and chokeslammed him through one of the announce tables and got a long 9 count. The referee really stalled at 9.
The finish of the match saw the Undertaker go for old school, but the Big Show caught him in mid-air and chokeslammed him and got a 9 count. He then hit a big right on Taker as soon as he got another 9 count. The Big Show then grabeed a chair and clocked Taker with it and went to grab Taker, but Taker grabbed Big Show and got him in the triangle. Big Show tapped, but it didn't count. Taker let go of the hold and both men were out , but Taker was able to get back to his feet before the 10 count.
Winner: The Undertaker
