WWE Smackdown/ECW TV event
April 22, 2008
Greensboro, N.C. at the Coliseum
Report by Brian J. Adkins, PWTorch.com reader
 
They started off by taping ECW first instead of it going live.
 
It's not an exaggeration to say this was a very exuberant crowd as they gave both Funaki and Mark Henry, of all people, quite a warm reception. Naturally, lots of "Whoo's" throughout the night. I can tell you that gets old, quick.
 
(1) Funaki pinned Stu Stiggs. (I believe that was his name.)
 
After this Chuck Palumbo came out and told the crowd that they "cheered Funaki like he just won the World Heavyweight Championship." Well ,he wasn't wrong. Then offered his bike if Funaki could beat him.
 
(2) Chuck Palumbo pinned Funaki. Palumbo seems to finally be getting over with the crowd as lots of "You suck" chants were going during the match.

ECW was then taped followed by Smackdown, which was detailed in an earlier report by Bruce Mitchell.

TIPS FOR SENDING IN HOUSE SHOW REPORTS 

If you attend an arena event in future, either house shows or TV tapings, we encourage you to send us a report for publication. You can direct your reports to pwtorch@gmail.com.

We accept reports in any format, but if it's not much trouble, please format your report like you see above, with the matches numbered like this (1) , (2) , (3) , with the opening line of each match paragraph stating who beat whom (don't just say Wrestler A vs. Wrestler beat with the result listed later; instead, state up front who won so those readers who don't have time to read the entire report (i. e. their boss walks past their cubicle all the time looking beat their shoulder) can at least quickly assess the results.

Also, please list tag teams using the & symbol as opposed to stating and. Reserve use of and when listing results in a three-way or four-way match where there are no teams (i. e. Wrestler A beat Wrestler B and Wrestler C in a three-way match ) so it is easy to differentiate a handicap match from a three-way match.

If you know HTML coding for bolding, you can also bold out the first line of each match description. If you don't know HTML symbols, then we can add those ourselves.

Special thanks to everyone who helps us with reports on live events!

Send feedback on this article to pwtorch@gmail.com and we'll regularly publish reader feedback in the "Torch Feedback" category on the Main Listing.
