Welcome to
www.wrestlingnewsdesk.com's
first live coverage of Wrestlemania. We will change the headline throughout
the show until the show is over, at which point we'll post the headline
Full Report.
Kane won the pre-show Battle Royal, so count on him demolishing Chavo
Guerrero for the ECW Title later in the night.
JBL pinned Fit Finlay in a Belfast Brawl that was stiff but
disappointing.
CM Punk won the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Matt Hardy did a run-in,
which he wanted everyone to know in advance obviously if you check out the
internet, and stopped MVP from winning. Punk and Jericho were battling for the
briefcase. Surprise finish. I think Shelton Benjamin was the star of the
match.
Batista pinned Umaga in a match no one will remember.
Kane pinned Chavo Guerrero to become the new ECW Champion in moments. Total
squash. Chokeslam, then the 1-2-3.
Shawn Michaels pinned Ric Flair in
about 20 minutes after mouthing the words "I'm sorry, I love you..." and hitting
Sweet Chin Music. This was really good. Not the super-charged emotional
responses everyone was expecting and counting on. Really good, though. They can
make it memorable if they play it up big on tv.
In a match that saw a total power failure happen in the middle, Beth
Phoenix pinned Maria, so Beth and Melina beat Maria and Ashley Massaro. Beth is
just so far and above all other females. Lawler decked Santino. Snoop Dog
creamed Santino with a clothesline afterwards and got to kiss Maria.
Randy Orton retained the WWE Title by pinning John Cena after giving HHH
the concussion kick when HHH covered Cena after a Pedigree. Solid match.
Floyd Mayweather used brass knuckles to knock out Big Show in the best
match so far of the night. This was great. Show was beating up all of
Mayweather's posse. The guy taking the serious beating was Charles "The Hammer"
Evans, who was in OVW Developmental for a long time. Mayweather was great. They
got their money's worth on this one.
Kim Kardashian came out and
announced a Citrus Bowl record attendance of 74,635.
The Undertaker defeated Edge via tap out for the Smackdown World Title
in a tremendous main event. It took a little time to get going, but once they
got into the false finishes, it was really good. Edge hit a spear, Taker wrapped
him up in the choke from underneath. Excellent finish to the show.
