Ok, we got there a little early and waited on the wrestlers arriving.
This ambulance was waiting outside the arena, obviously waiting to rush Snitsky's opponent to the local hospital.
No expense was spared for us Scots.
All matches were steel cage matches.
The show got underway.
Rey was first up in a match,
here he is on his way to victory.
I'm just joking, that was just some kids messing around outside. Fooled ya!
We did see them get off the bus but it was pretty dark, however, that all didn't matter because we saw Snitsky! We must have been no more than 20ft from greatness. We gave him a warm welcome. Manu also got off the same bus and I gave him the most venomous "You suck!" that I had in me.
This was our view. It's the first time we've had seats in the stands, and in typical fashion for us, we were right at the back as per usual. Not quite row Z, row Q to be exact.
The show got underway and the RAW music played and a guy in a suit came down the ramp, I thought it was Mike Adamle, but it was Tony Chimel, which was a good thing because it spared us having to endure Lillian sing Flower of Scotland.
The first match, Rowdy Charlie Hass Vs
Snnnnnitsky!!!! (Yes, Champ, he had a match)
Here he is putting a world of hurt on Charlie.
Ref - OK, Snitsky, get em outta the corner.
Snitsky - SHUTTUP!
he jobbed to the jam rolly polly from hell, though.
Next was Beth Vs Candice for the womens title, with Mickie as the ref and Kelly Kelly as the ring dinger.
Mickie, as GLF keenly spotted, has "monster tits".
Beth won, then got beatdown by the faces.
Next up, D-lo came out and heeled on us, however,
Jamie Noble came out to shut him up.
Next up it was Kofi and Punk Vs Cody and Manu for the tag titles
Here is Cody pointing at Manu as he says to the ref, "that's my tag partner, Manu. He sucks!"
Kofi and Punk won.
Next it was Rey Vs Kane.
here is Kane trying to snap Rey in two. Eventually though,
he got 6-1-9'd and then Gimp Splashed on his way to another defeat. How can he lose so much to Rey? He really is a BRR.
and here he is sitting on his big dumpy ass contemplating his latest humiliation.
Next up was HBK Vs Orton.
Hey!
HBK won with a superkick that missed by a million miles.
The main event was JBL Vs Jericho Vs Batista for the World Heavyweight title.
JBL was not pleased with the round mound of sound, Tony Chimel declaring he was 290 pounds. JBL stated he was 234 pounds and getting better. JBL was on the mic for at least 5 minutes and was absolutely hilarious as he verbally pissed all over our country. He was jumping about and looked as though he'd just ate whole bag of catnip.
Jericho also cut a little promo, saying he and JBL were evil men and they were going to do evil things to Batista.
Even after 12 days straight of title shots, Batista again couldn't get it done. He bombed JBL but Jericho nailed him with the belt and pinned JBL, as shown above.
Jericho teased Batista with the belt and got bombed for it. Batista then got on the mic and said some things, most of it was inaudible, he then got a Saltire flag from the crowd and sucked up before eventually leaving us in peace.
It was an ok show, but now that I've had time to reflect on it, it did all seem a little half-assed. The sound system was very poor, it was hard to catch on to the themes, and there were no pyros.
It was enjoyable though, and seeing Snitsky was all that mattered.
