Sorry for the late live report.
Anyways, Just wanted to elaborate a bit on the last live report. A few "we want wrestling" chants in my section during the divas match. Also, during what I'm assuming was the commercial break, Charlie Haas put on a luchadore mask and made weird lucha poses around the ring. After 5 minutes of wrestling with it on, Shawn Michaels yanked it off and tossed into the crowd. Assuming thats when they came back from commercial.
Note from Adam Martin: I'm sure most TV viewers wished that took place during the commercial break since it completely bombed. At least they are trying something new with Haas though!
Regal was getting major heat from the crowd.
Earlier on in the HHH/Regal match, Trips threw the steel steps at Regal, to which Regal ducked... well, at the end of the match, the cameraman doing the closeup on Trips was walking and not paying attention, and literally fell over the steps. Anyone who caught it was laughing.
Jeff Hardy spent some time after the main event shaking hands with fans down by ringside. I started the "Holy Shit" chant to the whisper in the wind off the cage.
A few fans were pissed that there was no bonus match with Orton and JBL vs. Jeff Hardy and Jericho, especially considering we didn't get to see Orton wrestle, and the JBL/Jericho thing was hardly able to be considered wrestling.
And Santino Marella is absolutely fantastic on the mic. Out of everyone who was talking that night, Marella got the most crowd reaction.
Daniel Garcia sent this in: I just read your posting on Wrestleview.com from Brian Kelly. The spin on the Howard Stern/Bubba The Love Sponge situation is poorly written. I listen to both shows and a huge fan of both. The article sounds as if Howard is upset at Bubba. Howard is NOT upset at Bubba for the morning show. Howard is upset at Sirius for having to make Bubba get a 2nd job to support him and his staff. Howard did say he would love to have Bubba exclusivly with Sirius but he understands that Bubba had to do it. Howard is even more upset that Congress hasn't passed the merger between Sirius and XM which led to Bubba having to to a morning show on FM radio. Bubba joked to Howard saying He'll (Bubba) will probably get fined $150,000 for just having Howard on the air and having stop himself from talking like a real person was real hard.
