This is a blog about the Deadmans night 13th June 2008 rod laver arena
The Deadman's match was to me the match of the night. The match went back and forward and Kane performed at his best as well as MVP and Mark Henry, but Undertaker stole the show and i dont blame him. I dont rember how the the match finished tho it did have Kane & Taker double Chokeslamed Henry, then Taker pinned MPV after a tombstone!, yeh that is how the match ended.
Then In the main Event in Batista VS Edge witch ended with a DQ when Bam Neely interupted the batista bomb following the pinfall... lights went out... Dong... Lights on again... Taker on the stage... slowley walks down the ramp... Edge, Chavo & Neely in ring calling Taker to come in the ring, Batista is slowley get up, The Deadman is out side the ring, Bam Neely & Guerrero run away as taker steps in to the ring. Edge turns around, Batista gives him a right hand, Undertaker gives Edge a right hand, Batista & Undertaker taking in turns of hitting Edge... Undertaker lifts Edge up... TOMBSTONE!!!! Bam & Chavo drage Edge out of the ring and leave. Takers theme goes on throgh out the arena. the lights of blue, he goes on one nee, his eyes go to the back of his head tounge out. batista claps for the Deadman with the crowd. Undertaker leaves the Arena...
