The show started fairly late, which was odd, because the last two shows we attended back in 2006 commenced on the dot. Also, the house was not full. I was thinking only 85% of the seats were taken, which was also peculiar, seeing as this was a one night only gig. The 2006 shows we attended were packed to the rafters.
Anyway, Justin Roberts comes out and welcomes us to the show.
Morrison comes out first to a major pop. Some guy is holding up an “I am a JoMosexual” sign. Benjamin comes out to a chorus of boos as expected, and the show gets going. Match starts off slow with the two of them performing at least 87 variations of the headlock on each other. Action picks up with your usual stuff from these two: springboard shin kick and tilt-a-whirl DDT from Morrison, thrust kick to the face and Samoan drop from Benjamin, and lots of monkey-like jumping from both. Morrison finishes off with arguably the second-best finisher in the business (next to the Canadian Destroyer), Starship Pain.
What’s really cool is that after the match, even Benjamin received an ovation on his way out. This happens throughout the night, for both faces and heels.
I hail from the far kingdom of Las Pinas City, and have put an end to the debauchery of numerous monsters of the land and of the seas.
Furthermore, my scrupulous attention to detail has entitled me to garner the following honors from ages past: best in art, best marksman, and most likely to become Emperor of the Philippines.
