Since you have great detailed results up, I wanted to add a few live notes:
This may have been the biggest crowd they’ve drawn in a while for Charlotte, especially for the new Time Warner Cable Arena. Very little of the top was tarped off and the entire lower bowl was full. Easily 11,000 people were in attendance.
I’ve always been a Rey Mysterio fan but now I’m more so than ever. After he made the save for Trent Barretta and they were making they’re way to the back, he stopped and did the thing where he touches foreheads with kids several times. It’s nice when he does it on camera but telling, in a good way, that he does it when the cameras are off.
The crowd popped huge for most of the babyfaces with the only heel to get any real heat being Alberto Del Rio. Considering the response he got, I think WWE would be making a huge mistake if they don’t continue to push Christian into the main event picture.
The dark match featured The Corre and Del Rios against Big Show, Kane, Edge (in street clothes), Christian, and a huge suprise in an unadvertised Triple HHH, standing in for The Undertaker. Of course the faces won with HHH hitting the Pedigree. HHH’s pop was the biggest of the night.
The dark match included a bit of storytelling and continuity from the earlier 8 man match. In that match, Slater left the rest of The Corre (I don’t know if this was noted on tv) to get massacred. For the dark match, Corre left him and HHH rode on his back like a horse to the back as he crawled up the ramp.
