WWE Pay Per View Report: Vengeance '06
New York City, Hammerstein Ballroom - June 11th, 2006
A night of vengeance was served up to the sold-out crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City as World Wrestling Entertainment's latest Pay Per View extravaganza came to town. With a stacked card featuring some of the top talent in the company, the anticipation was palpable. Let's dive into the action-packed evening that had it all.
Match 1: Tazz vs. Jerry Lawler
The festivities kicked off with a bang as ECW legend Tazz took on the King of Professional Wrestling himself, Jerry Lawler. The veteran Lawler looked to be in top form, but Tazz's grappling expertise proved too much for him, securing the win in just 35 seconds.
Match 2: Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
Next up, Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle clashed with the Viper Randy Orton in a battle of strength and cunning. The two exchanged holds and near-falls before Angle finally locked in the ankle lock to submit Orton, stretching the match time to an impressive 15 minutes and 8 seconds.
Match 3: The FBI (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) vs. Super Crazy and Yoshihiro Tajiri
The tag team division got some much-needed attention as The FBI took on the high-flying duo of Super Crazy and Yoshihiro Tajiri. A thrilling match ensued, with both teams trading moves and near-falls. In the end, it was The FBI's experience that proved too much for their opponents, securing the win in 12 minutes and 30 seconds.
Match 4: Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu (World Heavyweight Title Match)
The main event of the evening took center stage as Rey Mysterio put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the wild card that is Sabu. Unfortunately, this match would not go the distance. A series of unfortunate events led to a no contest declaration after just 9 minutes and 31 seconds.
Match 5: Edge, Lita, and Mick Foley vs. Beulah, Terry Funk, and Tommy Dreamer
The curtain call for the evening's six-man tag team match saw a motley crew of WWE Hall of Famers face off against an equally unlikely trio of legends from outside the company. In what was essentially a battle of egos, Edge, Lita, and Mick Foley emerged victorious after 18 minutes and 45 seconds.
Match 6: Balls Mahoney vs. Masato Tanaka
The penultimate bout featured the behemoth that is Balls Mahoney taking on the pint-sized but feisty Masato Tanaka. As expected, the size difference proved too much for Tanaka, with Mahoney claiming victory in just 5 minutes and 5 seconds.
Main Event: Rob Van Dam vs. John Cena (WWE Championship)
And finally, the WWE Championship was up for grabs as Rob Van Dam put his title on the line against the Cenation leader John Cena. A hard-hitting match ensued, with both men giving it their all. In the end, Van Dam's aerial assault proved too much for Cena, allowing him to retain his championship in an impressive 17 minutes and change.
That wraps up our report from Vengeance '06. With a mix of fast-paced action, grueling matches, and even a little bit of chaos, this Pay Per View event had something for everyone. Until next time, stay tuned to Zohash.com for all your professional wrestling news!
