WWE SMACKDOWN 2007 |
|
Twice a year, the stars of World Wrestling Entertainment make the trip across the pond to entertain the fans of Great Britain. With Peter Chapman being a woman and deciding he didn't want to go, it was down to McCarthy and Dan Collin to make the trip to Manchester's MEN Arena to see the starts of WWE Smackdown strut their stuff |
 |
 |
| McCarthy was behind the wheel for the trip to Manchester | Collin enjoys the journey from the comfort of the passenger seat |
 |
 |
| We arrive in the City of Manchester | The city centre features a big wheel from which you can view the city. We decide to take advantage of her |
 |
|
| A fine view over the city | Despite having a fear of heights, Collin enjoys the ride |
 |
 |
| Here we can see a cathedral of some description | The view across to The Penines |
 |
 |
| Looking down to the square below | The Arndale centre provides fine shopping opportunities |
 |
 |
| This chap wore a dashing jacket and looked delighted to be taking in this cultural experience | McCarthy attempts to open the door in order to escape from the capsule |
 |
 |
| Sunset over the city | McCarthy pulls the Bruce next to the wheel |
 |
 |
| While Collin is impressed by the structure | This black woman was partaking in some shopping |
 |
 |
| The wheel in all her glory | Inside the MEN, and Collin attempts to eat some nachos |
 |
 |
| The arena in all her glory | The nachos unfortunately make Collin feel sick |
 |
 |
| This steward did a fine job of showing us to our seats, and as an added bonus was fit | Unfortunately, McCarthys hotdog makes him feel sick as well |
 |
 |
| This man was northern and spent most of the early exchanges berating his wife - before mysteriously disappearing | We quickly established these three chaps were flids |
 |
 |
| Announcer Howard Finkel kicks off proceedings | Armada Estrada looks pretty tasty in his white suit |
 |
 |
| Deuce and Domino, with the beautiful Cherry, take on Jesse and Festus | John Morrison takes on some bloke whom nobody seemed to know |
 |
 |
| We hoped a wardrobe malfunction would haunt Torrie Wilson | Torrie and Michele McCool take on Victoria and someone else |
 |
 |
| This boy in front was way too excited, and we soon identified that his father had not explained that what he was watching was fake | Dave Taylor fights Chuck Palumbo |
 |
 |
| Kane fights Kevin Thorn | McCarthy looks down onto the ring during the interval |
 |
 |
| And so does Collin | Chris Masters enters the arena |
 |
 |
| Given the boys reaction, we were worryingly sure that he would allow Rey Mysterio to do illegal actions with him | Masters v Mysterio |
 |
 |
| No Masterlock was on offer unfortunately | Big Daddy V teams up with Matt Striker to take on CM Punk |
 |
 |
| Finlay and The Great Khali await their opponents | They would team with MVP to take on Matt Hardy, Batista and The Undertaker to round off a fine night |
