This match ***1/2


A good opener for this show.  Essentially a hardcore match, with some good weapon spots.  Finlay's suicide dive through the ropes made this match, especially since it was met by a knock in the head with a metal object.  Hornswoggle got an incredible pop from the crowd with his introduction.  He was a little underused, but took a nice hit with a garbage can from JBL.


JBL's pinfall victory was a surprise, but it ensures that the program with him and Finlay will continue.  It's been done well so far.  Look for a rematch at Backlash in Baltimore.

I'm glad JBL won, even though I think that means they'll be more to this feud - which was kinda sudden and a little boring.  The match provided a good starting mood for the event, especially having Hornswoggle come out a little after Finlay for an added pop.

It was definitely forgotten by the halfway point but looking back on it, it was a pretty solid match.  JBL always looks kind of sloppy, but that's what makes his brawl style and clothesline from hell great.

I felt that clothesline from hell all the way in Manhattan Beach!  WOW!  Good choice for an opener!  They got to brawl in total daylight...what's more exciting than that?!  I know, throwing a garbage can at little Horny!  Poor thing...I did want Finlay to win, however when JBL won, I was happy that he didn't attack little Horny.

Hornswoggle getting hit with that trashcan was hilarious.  I thought he'd be more involved in the match.  I was pleased though.  JBL's a good guy deep down.  I know it.

I barely watched this one.  I was disappointed that it was during daylight, but it was cloudy.  I was hoping for sunshine with this  one.  It would have fit with Hornswoggle's uplifting music.

It was my pick to be the first match, and I am glad it was...It was surprisingly entertaining, especially when Finlay slid through the ropes into a slap in the head by JBL with a garbage can lid.  I felt that pain as well...Finlay wore it well.  I like JBL's crass character, and his nose in the air, I'm better than everyone else...His entrance music suits his style, and even though he could be annoying at times, I see him as humorous.  The match was definitely a brawl and a great adrenaline rush for the rest of the night...

There was no blood in this match.  How can you have a Belfast Brawl without any blood?  There was no blood at Wrestlemania at all (except Ric Flair's busted lip).  I feel a little cheated.

No blood at all.  What a waste of time.  If you're going to use weapons, you got to have blood.  Otherwise, what's the point?

I wasn't too mad that there was no blood in the belfast brawl.  I was more upset that flair's whole head wasn't red by the end of his match.  although, i guess it made it classy for his end.
