King Venomation - X

WWE reurned to Nassau Coliseum. They were selling tickets at ringside, but the show is officially sold out. There were some empty seats in the upper levels but we are talking literally, the last row of the building.
Rob Van Dam pinned Carlito with a kick to the face and the 5 star frog splash. Van Dam celebrated with the fans for a long time after the match.
Goldust pinned Tyson Tomko with Shattered Dreams in a forgettable bout.
Spirit Squad vs. Val Venis & Viscera - Squad came out and did their routine, including being mic'd for the live crowd. Mike Mondo took the mic and said he was from Long Island and then proceeded to rip on the fans and the NY Islanders. Squad never stopped bouncing and running around once the bell rang. Viscera got a big pop for pulling of Ken Doane's shirt and chopping him in the corner. Squad took over after pulled Venis off the apron, where he bumped facefirst into the ring apron. Doane and Johnny Jeter kept working over Val. Venis came back with a tiger driver on Doane and an Enziguiri on Jeter to set up the hot tag. He sodomized Doane. Did I just write that? One of the Squad hit Val with a megaphone to set up the pin. Squad wins.
They announced Big Show wouldn't be appearing and offered refunds.
Eugene vs. Chris Masters - Masters was scheduled to face Shawn Michaels so I'm guessing they changed the lineup to HHH vs. Michaels. They did some comedy early including Eugene putting Chris Masters' robe on the referee. Masters did the old Tully Blanchard slingshot under the ropes. Eugene comeback including an Airplane Spin. Eugene tried a full nelson but Masters reversed and Eugene submitted to the Masterlock. Fine for what it was.
Victoria & Candice Michelle vs. Trish Stratus & Mickie James - Ashley got a big pop coming out to ring announce as she's from Long Island. James got no reaction when she played to the crowd. Stratus pinned Victoria with the Chick Kick. James attacked Ashley with Trish making the save. Crowd chanted, "She's a psycho."
Matt Striker came out and ran down Tazz, ECW, and Long Island. Tazz came to the ring. Tazz called him "Mark." Tazz asked him who he was, if he really worked for the company, and then called him "Mikey." Tazz tried to announce something but Striker kept cutting him off. Tazz finally said he wasn't here as a WWE guy, a Raw guy, or a Smackdown guy but as ECW's Tazz. He said that if Striker stopped Tazz from speaking again, he's going to get choked out. Striker said Taz was old news like ECW so Tazz choked him out. Tazz said that he couldn't remember what he was supposed to say thanks to Striker, and asked for help. Paul Heyman came out to the ECW theme and announced tickets for One Night Stand would go on sale on 4/15 for 6/11 at The Hammerstein Ballroom. There was an ECW chant after Striker was choked out but the segment didn't get a huge reaction overall. There were a lot of fans buzzing about the PPV around me, though.
Kane vs. Gene Snitsky - Snitsky went for something and instead dropped Kane. It looked bad beyond belief. Chokeslam. 1 2 3. Kane wins. Remember when this was an actual main feud on Raw?
Shelton Benjamin & HHH vs. Shawn Michaels & Ric Flair - Fun tag match. Flair went for the figure four on Benjamin. HHH grabbed him for the Pedigree but Michaels superkicked him. Flair then forced Benjamin to submit.
Benjamin and HHH argued after the match. Benjamin crotch chopped HHH, who kicked him and hit a Pedigree. He grabbed the mic and told the crowd that someone needed to call Benjmin's mom. After selling, Benjamin told the crowd they better not call his momma.
Cena vs. Edge - Foley, as ref, blamed Lita's boobs for distracting him at Raw and banned Lita and boobs both from ringside. He then asked everyone not to tell his Mom he said the word boobs. Edge tried to retreat and stall early. Foley counted him out as he walked up the aisle but he hit the ring at 9. They brawled into the crowd with Foley this time purposely counting slow on the mic so Cena had time to pummell Edge. Cena went for The FU but Edge grabbed ropes. When Cena pulled him off, they collided with Foley who went down. Edge hit Cena with the WWE title belt. A Second ref came in but Cena kicked out of the pinfall attempt. Edge speared the new ref. Edge grabbed a chair but Foley took it away. Cena hit the FU for the pin. Decent. Crowd loved Cena big time. He got the biggest pop of the night by far.
