Chuck sent this report in:

After the Smackdown tapings ended, Edge demanded his "advertised title match" (huh?) against Triple H (I didn't know there was an advertised match). No one expected Triple H to come back to the ring, since he was really selling his head-squash from Khali earlier, but he came down to the ring at 100% as if it never happened. Once his ring intro ended, Edge said he was going to let Triple H fight Vladimir Koslov first. There was a brief back & forth match, ending with Koslov receiving a pedigree at around the 3 minute mark and Triple H pinning him for the 3-count. Then Edge came after Triple H, with pretty much the same results. Most everyone in the crowd didn't know the TV taping was over, and everyone around me was still convinced Undertaker was going to make an appearance.

The crowd in Atlanta was dead for the most part in my section, and the biggest pops came from the Raw recaps of Batista & Cena. From what I could hear going on around me, everyone was there in hopes that Undertaker would show up.

There were a few funny moments during the ECW tapings: During the opening dark match, I think the appearance of Ron Killings was eclipsed by the fact that Kenny Dykstra is still on a WWE roster. When Braden Walker make his ring entrance, I argued with the guys next to me that he was "Chris Harris" from TNA, and they disagreed, saying that Chris Harris "isn't as big as that guy". I was also surprised to hear so many people cheer for Mark Henry when he made his appearance.
