From wrestlingobserver.com:
Results (the promo spots may be out of order, I added
them later):
Dark:
Ryan Wilson defeated Funaki with a pumphandle slam.
Jamie Noble defeated "Zakudo" (no one around me heard
his name) by doing a suplerplex rolled into his
sleeper submission.
SmackDown:
Ken Kennedy defeated Batista via count-out
Vito defeated Simon Dean with his under the dress
submission.
Sylvan Grenier defeated Tatanka with the TKO
Michelle McCool defeated Jillian Hall with her feet on
the ropes for leverage.
I believe at this point, there was a big celebration
for King Booker's title win with balloons, a carriage
to the ring, and the like. Rey interupted by doing a
jumping Senton onto Booker's throne.
Chavo said he owes no one any answers, but will, at a
later date, teach Rey what being a Guerrero really
means.
Finlay and Regal discuss their past battles in WCW,
with Regal saying he thought that was all in the past.
He blames the "troll" for his loss at the Bash, but
Finlay corrects him to say it was a leprechaun.
Finlay defeated William Regal to retain the US title
when Little Bastard gave William a low blow. Finlay
rolled him up and used the tights.
JT won the Diva Search "Musical Chairs".
Sylvester Terkay (with his manager Elijah Burke)
defeated Matt Hardy by what appeared to be a variant
of the hammerlock (or key lock) for the submission.
King Booker defeated Rey Mysterio to retain the World
Title. Chavo Guerrero interfered to help Booker
retain.
Notes:
Tony Chimmel was the ring announcer.
WrestleMania 22 highlight package (from the end of the
PPV) was shown before the show.
Ryan Wilson vs Funaki was pretty short and
uninteresting. Wilson was dressed in a plaid shirt and
kahkis (I think - some sort of street clothes pants).
The maksed Japanese character whose name no one seemed
to catch came out to old WWE standby for generic asan
wrestlers - the Orient Express theme. He seemed pretty
good and the crowd eventually got into him. When Noble
was lying on the 2nd rope, the masked wrestler leaped
from the floor to dropkick Noble in the head, landing
on the ring apron as well.
While the crowd (by the way, the crowd's entire lower
bowl was sold out and about half to 1/4 of the upper
deck was as well) was more behind Batista, there were
a good share of people cheering on Kennedy. Kennedy
did get to do his intro without being interupted.
There was a Simon Dean promo stating Vito was playing
mind games, and there was an implication that Simon
Dean was gay and wanted Vito to lift his dress to cose
him the match. He stopped thinking about that and
regained his train of thought. At one point during the
match Vito was held in a suplex, causing his dress to
fall and "delight" the fans.
Miz was shown waiting outside of Rey Mysterio's locker
room. I believe they did a quick interview where Rey
complained about Chavo.
Tatanka vs. Grenier was about as good as you'd think
it would be, although Tatanka did get a pop coming out
and fans would get into the "rally" when a chinlock
was applied. Grenier ave Tatanka a low blow when the
ref was taking the tomohawk away from Sylvan, then the
TKO.
Michelle McCool vs Jillian was very short and not too
bad (and very pleasant to watch live). The odd thing
here was Kristal and Ashley were standing on the apron
as if it was a tag match, even though Tony said it was
one on one. They eventually went onto the floor. Match
was fairly short.
William Regal did a promo which I think may have been
arena only (I assume this because he said "Fit" Finlay
and they did a promo together after this) talking
about their days in WCW. I forget how it ended, but
the intent was to make Regal out to be the heel so
fans would know which guy they were SUPPOSED to boo.
A commercial for 24/7 Aired to the song "Right Now".
It was pretty good.
Finlay vs Regal was good and wasn't too focused on
Little Basyard until the end. The crowd was quite
silent at first, not knowing what to make of it. Now,
I don't want to take credit for anything, but when
Finlay was in a hold by Regal, my friend and I tried a
rally. People may have been doing the same in other
sections too, I don't know. Anyway, this did led to
the arena doing a rally, then doing a "Let's go
Finlay!" chant, which was odd after all the silence.
Finlay gave LB a high-five on the way out (he was
still under the ring). Match was about 7 minutes.
The Diva Search is a lot more bareable to watch live,
I'll give it that much. The time stamps on my camera
have this segment being under 7 minutes, an
improvement over some of the much longer ones of the
past. Whichever chick lost to JT at the end almost
swung the last chair at her, but Miz broke it up.
Terkay vs Hardy was fairly boring and mostly
unimpressive. Little response except for "Hardy"
chants and faint "We Want Jeff" chants.
King Booker vs Rey was maybe about 9 minutes and a
good match. People tried to chant "Chavo" after people
were done chanting Eddie.
ECW Notes:
Fairly boring show. Ariel does a nice thing on the
ropes when she enters that I don't believe was on TV
as right after it, a CM Punk promo aired.
Post show, while almost everyone was exiting (and
ended up standing at the top of stairways), Undertaker
and Kane defeated BIg Show and Kahli with a double
chokeslam on Khali. Khali did nothing except leave
mid-way through the match when Big Show tried to tag.
Boy, the crew works REALLY hard to get that ECW ring
set up by 10 pm. Even Charlies Robinson and Tony
Chimmel bust their ass getting things ready.
A nice thing to see on the way home was someone
complaining about the new ECW, saying Vince is just
pissing on it and Heyman sucks for allowing it. He was
doing this while wearing a brand new WWE-version
Sandman shirt.
There were also some girls near the arena steps
handing out flyers for TNA Bound for Glory. We heard
they were sent there by PTW's Dave Martin.
