David Gough sent in this report:
Lilian Garcia came out to a huge pop and sang the Australian Anthem.
Rob Conway VS Shelton Benjamin
Match was average with Shelton getting over with at least 90% of the crowd. Rob Conway got on the offensive a few times with some solid moves. Shelton pinned Rob Conway for the 1....2....3 after a T-Bone Suplex!
Winner - Shelton Benjamin
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch VS Viscera & Val Venis - (World Tag Team Titles)
Before the match began, Cade got on the mic talking about how Australians climb up eucalyptus trees and chase kangaroos, which gave them a A LOT of Heat. Val Venis & Viscera got a good reaction before and during the match. Val Venis warned Murdoch that this guy in the crowd could kick his ass. A few comments about Murdoch were made that got the crowd in stitches! Val Venis was being dominated but eventually made the tag to Viscera. Viscera and Venis then dominated until a mistake in which Viscera accidentally rammed into Val Venis (Murdoch and Cade moved out of the way). Murdoch & Cade hit the Sweet & Sour to retain the Tag Team Titles.
Winners - Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (Still World Tag Team Champions)
Gene Snitsky VS Tajiri
Gene Snitsky came out to a good reaction with almost half the crowd chanting for him. Tajiri was well received on his way to the ring. Gene Snitsky eventually had enough of the crowd chanting "It was your fault!" and replied "It wasn't my fault." Gene Snitsky plowed through Tajiri, managing even to get out of the Tarantula before it was fully locked in. Tajiri made a few offensive moves but in the end was beat after Snitsky hit Tajiri with his finisher (The Modified Sideslam).
Winner - Gene Snitsky
Torrie Wilson VS Trish Stratus - (WWE Women's Title)
Both Divas came out to great pops. Torrie was doused in a few 'Slut" chants but not to many. Trish eventually won this short match with the Chick Kick to retain the title. After the match, Victoria came out and attacked Trish. Trish fought back with a Stratusfaction on Victoria but Torrie then got on the offensive again. Ashley then came out to help Trish and eventually Torrie was driven out of the ring.
Winner - Trish Stratus (Still WWE Women's Champion)
Chris Masters & Carilto VS Big Show and Shawn Michaels
Finally the WWE had a good set of fireworks on this tour as most of Chris Masters fireworks were perfect. Carlito came out to a good pop everyone loves to be cool! Big Show is still very much loved in Australia with a great pop. HBK enters to a huge ovation no surprise there. Big Show did the whole Shawn Michaels dance thing during Michaels entrance. During the match a few "You Screwed Bret" chants started. To which HBK replied "Your point?" The match itself was a pretty decent Tag Match with most of the fans really loving Carlito, especially when he ran scared and tagged Masters in (happened more then once). HBK was being dominated by Masters & Carlito, while a frustrated Big Show awaited on the apron. The match ended when Big Show chokeslammed Carlito and pinned him!
Winners - HBK & Big Show
Eugene VS Kerwin White
Not a great match at all probably the worse of the night. The little ones enjoyed Eugene's antics though. The crowd was egging Kerwin on by chanting "Chavo, Chavo" over and over. The finish came when Kerwin rolled Eugene up and used the ropes for leverage.
Winner - Kerwin White
Triple H VS Ric Flair
This match was my pick for match of the night. Triple H came out to the 2nd biggest pop of the night. Ric Flair was well received. Triple H busted Ric up early in the match when Hunter ripped his bandage off. Ric Flair got revenge by busting open Triple H. Triple H and Ric Flair fought into the crowd for a bit (1 Meter away from where I was sitting). They eventually got back in the ring with both men trying the Figure 4 on eachother. The finish came when Triple H hit the Pedigree.
Winner - Triple H
Main Event - Street Fight - John Cena VS Kurt Angle - (WWE Title)
A good match probably the 2nd best match of the night with both men putting on a great show. John Cena's arrival was deafening. Kurt Angle was chanted at with "You Suck" but a few Non-Cena Sheep chanted "Kurt" or "GO Angle!" Kurt Angle had about 5 close 3-Counts so it was a very intense match. Weapons were used including Steel Steps, Chain and a Steel Chair. The finish came when Angle went to hit Cena with the steel chair and Cena dodged it, making the chair bounce of the ropes and hit him in the face. Cena then caught Angle in the FU and pinned him.
Cena then celebrated with the crowd as his theme played over 3 times.
