Post Show Dark Match
John Cena def. Umaga by DQ to retain the title
Here are a few comments from the show.
Lilian got a lot of chants, but during the opening greeting before the match, it was almost as if she nearly called Washington DC by the name of Miami.
The crowd was just on fire when Val Venis’s entrance began. As soon as Freakin Deacon came out, some fans remembered him as the Fake Kane and a few chants began.
The Jobber that faced Hacksaw was just booed for being in the ring. The guy did not do anything, just stood there waiting and the crowd was ready to kill him. He was actually got the loudest boos.
When Hacksaw was swinging the 2 x 4 around the ring, he legitimately almost hit his opponent in the head with it.
When Charlie Hass was working on Cena during the HBK/Cena vs. World Greatest Tag Team, there was opposing “let’s go Cena” and “Cena sucks chants”.
During the Diva’s match, there was a “just get naked” chant.
Whenever Umaga was out, there was a “Monkey Penis” chant.
When Vince was looking at Lashley after Stone Cold gave the “what do you have against bald people” rant, the crowd was really laughing.
Most Cheers:
HBK
Donald Trump
Jeff Hardy
Flair
Hacksaw (during heat)
Most Boos
Judas (a jobber on Heat)
Kenny (who was on heat)
Vince
Melina
Edge
Also, on a silly note, when my tickets where near the top, and my view was blocked by that big giant blue “WrestleMania 23” sign. I did not even know there was a steel cage until Coach mentioned it on heat. Half the Titantron was blocked by the sign. To see anything on screen from my section, you would have to use the screen
the Verizon Center have in the center.
