Dark Match
1. Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk. IMO, the best match of the night. It lasted about 15 minutes. Lots of luchador style moves from both men with Punk slapping his chest in reference of course to Eddie after doing a flip from the outside ring apron, onto Rey. Multiple 619 attempts with Punk getting the majority of the offense in. A funny moment came when Punk had Rey beat down he called to the crowd "Who's the man?", which prompted a vast majority of the crowd (including myself) to shout back "You are." He paused and laughed at us then did a "aw shucks" gesture.
Rey won with the 619 and springboard splash. After the match, Punk got on the mic sounding very sincere and said that he has to tell us that "when it comes to the

Overall, the show was much more enjoyable than last night's Raw, and the crowd was a lot more responsive, although they are still quite reserved. It was nice to see that there were pockets of smarks dotted around the arena who booed any video packages Cena was in, and cheered for Jericho and Punk. I kinda wish Cena had been there (can't believe I'm saying this) just because I think he would have been booed.
