I see you already have the results from Smackdown, so I won't repeat what you already have, but I thought I'd pass along a few things that won't or didn't air on ECW & Smackdown.

- During the ECW main event, the Miz and John Morrison were talking about how great they are, etc, etc, and Vince McMahon came out with a mic and said, "Hey. You're addressing the fans. They're right here. You don't have to yell." then he walked back stage. Pretty funny segment.

- (this will probably air, but I didn't see it listed on your results) At the open of Smackdown, Edge announced that Smackdown was going to be a tribute show to the Undertaker because it was the last time we'd see him in the WWE. So, throughout Smackdown, they showed some video highlights of the Undertaker's career -
1. His debut in 1990
2. Hell in a Cell vs. Mankind
3. vs. Shawn Michaels Royal Rumble 07
4. Beating Batista at WM 23
5. Losing to Edge on Smackdown when Edge cashed in MIB to win the Heavyweight Title

- Before Edge aired his TLC highlights, he said, "Let's first roll Undertaker's TLC highlights..." Everyone stared at the screen, but it was blank. Edge said, "What's this? Techinical difficulties? Oh wait...Undertaker's never been in a TLC match!" And later he said, "And if Undertaker loses this match, he is GONE from WWE. This isn't one of those things where he leaves for a few months then comes back on Raw, or ECW, or another brand!" This will air, but I thought it was a great segment anyway.

- During the main event segment, after the Undertaker was stuffed into a coffin and Edge was on the ladder talking about how he was going to win Sunday, a fan jumped the barricade and rushed to the ring. He was stopped cold by the wrestlers around the ring (Chavo, Bam, & the Edgeheads) until security got a hold of him, dragged him off by the pyro table near the entrance and cuffed him. When will people learn to stop jumping barricades during ladder matches and segments?! Soon they'll scrap ladder matches altogether!

- After the show went off the air, Undertaker again got attacked by Chavo, Bam, Edgeheads, and Edge, and as they beat him down, Kane's pyro hit, and he rushed to the ring and made the save. Undertaker tombstoned Edge & Kane chokeslammed Chavo. The brothers of destruction walked up the ramp, stopped, looked back at the ring together (with the World Title still hanging above it) then posed as fire shot up around them.

- Mick Foley stuck around after the show and signed many autographs, took photos, & shook hands. He must have stayed for a good 15 mins doing that. A real class act.
