WWE Smackdown/ECW house show
Dublin, Ireland
Report by Dot Net reader Paul Kenny

The arena was completely sold out it hold with about 11,000 people.

1. John Morrison beat Matt Hardy to retain Intercontinental Title. A really nice way to open the show. A good match with some nice spots from Morrison.

2. Shelton Benjamin beat Zack Ryder. A decent match some slow spots, including a few long headlock spots. There were a few big spots with Benjamin.

3. Drew McIntyre defeated Finlay. :( Before the match drew cut a promo saying he was disappointed that WWE was not going to Scotland. He called Ireland out for changing currency to the Euro. OMFG, when Finlay came out the roof was lifted. A nice match with a few comedy spots from Finlay. He even got an "ole ole ole" chant going (it's an irish soccer song).

4. Ezekiel Jackson defeated Goldust.. Squash match for Jackson.

5. Mickie James and Katie Lea beat Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix. It was sloppy, but okay for a diva match.

6. Rey Mysterio beat Dolph Ziggler. Very good match. Rey was mega over with the fans. A few good spots. Man, seeing Rey in person is amazing. He moves with incredible speed in the ring.

INTERMISSION

7. Christian beat William Regal to retain ECW Championship. Solid match. Christian was over in a big way. After the match, Regal took the mic and said he would never come back to Dublin again. Yay!

8. R-Truth beat Eric Escobar. R.T just danced and got Escobar got rolled up!

9. Undertaker beat CM Punk in a casket match to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Very good match. Taker's presence is something special. Some very good spots with the casket. The only downside was that the diva match was longer :(

Notes: Overall it was a very good show. I would recommend going to any WWE event because the atmosphere is always great and you get some very entertaining matches.
