HALL OF FAME REPORT
Nick Bockwinkle is the first inductee when the main show starts. He's introduced by Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, who is his usual charismatic self. Heenan cracks a few jokes, and then introduces Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel receives a standing ovation from the crowd, and speaks for just about the right amount of time.

Afa & Sika (The Wild Samoans) are the next to be inducted, represented by their respective sons, one of which is Young Roosevelt a.k.a. the Super Hero In Training. They speak for a while about the legacy of Samoans in the business and how grateful they are to be a part of that legacy. Wild Samoans come out and Sika speaks in his native language to start, then when Afa gets to the podium he tells us what he said was more or less "thanks to God for our blessings." Afa seems a little gunshy at first but once he starts telling stories he can't shut up, to the point he even admits himself that he's getting longwinded. He repeatedly thanks High Chief Peter Maivia and Rocky Johnson for all they did to bring them in the business, and tells a story of how Sika got them into the business by throwing a chair during a match at the Cow Palace featuring Pat Patterson that nearly started a riot, at which point their Uncle Maivia said "we need to get you two in the wrestling business to keep you out of trouble." It was good but really went way too long.

Next out are Rob Van Dam and Sabu, to introduce The Sheik (Ed Farhat). Rob Van Dam gives a long speech about how he was trained by Sheik, how they practiced headlocks over and over again until Sheik would get so mad that he would get in the ring, bite Rob's nose, gouge his eyes and say NOW show me a headlock and he'd be so mad he'd finally do it to Sheik's satisfaction. Rob goes on to say how did I become Rob Van Dam that way practicing headlocks? The Sheik would get a phone call and leave his chair at ringside and then Rob would turn to Sheik's nephew and say "Come over here when I climb up the ropes, I got this move I want to try!" After Rob finishes speaking Sabu briefly introduces the video package and then we watch the same video of Sheik highlights shown on ECW. Joyce Farhat comes out to accept the award after the video package and has to stop several times as she's almost crying. She says nobody knew the real Sheik, who was a family man and a generous man, but he loved the fans and he enjoyed making them hate him because he knew he was giving them such a cathartic release.

Next up to be inducted is Mr. Fuji. Don Muraco comes out and speaks about how great Mr. Fuji was, how he made so many opportunities for people in the wrestling business, and how much fun they had together. He tells us that Fuji was a classic ribber, that he loved to do thinks like put firecrackers in the engine of a wrestler's car and when it exploded "Mr. Fuji will investigate." Any time a rib blew up in somebody's face and someone complained "Mr. Fuji will investigate." Fuji came out and had to be helped up on stage by two people, he seems really hobbled these days, dropping his cane on his way to the podium. Once he got there though he was in rare form, telling all of the people in attendance that Muraco was not exaggerating and regailing us with a classic rib where it was snowing in Manhattan and he got a tow truck to lift up a wrestler's car so he could put it on cinder blocks, then covering up the wheel wells with snow so he couldn't tell it was on blocks. Fuji accelerated matters by telling him they had to get to the bar before it closed, and of course he tried to start it and put it in gear but it went nowhere. Fuji seemed really grateful to be honored and thanked the fans for watching him for all these years.

After a brief interlude while they got ready for the TV taping, Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hit and he came out to introduce Jim Ross. If you watched the show on USA they cut Austin's introduction speech down to a nub, as he had a lot to say about how he had come up in the business listening to Jim Ross, how much J.R. had done for him personally, and how when he went into the hospital for his colon surgery Austin had to admit to him on the phone "I love you man" because he couldn't let J.R. go without telling him in case something went wrong. Ross came out and got a very long time, regailing us with stories of how he drove around as a referee breaking into the business, how he "sat at the learning tree" with Ernie Ladd when he came to work for Cowboy Bill Watts, and how his biggest break in the business came at 1993 - not working for Vince mind you, but marrying "my beautiful Italian angel" - being employed by McMahon was his SECOND big break. Ross told us that he got fired twice for being too passionate about the business, channeling his passions in the wrong directions at times, and apologized for the mistakes that he had made over the years. He seemed obsessed with his bells palsy, going out of his way to say he had to hold up his cheek the whole time at WrestleMania 15 but he was still honored to call the match. J.R. went on to say that WWE had inducted a lot of wrestlers into the HOF but he was the first "wrestling fan" who never wrestled in his life to make his way into the prestigious institution. Ross was very emotional the whole time and got at least two standing ovations at the start.

William Shatner comes out next to introduce Jerry 'The King' Lawler. He got several loud boos during his speech, mostly because it was obvious he was reading from a prepared statement the whole time, almost never looking up at the camera. Personally I was insulted that he came out instead of Lance Russell and yelled "PRICELINE SUCKS" right when he started speaking. Shatner continued putting himself over for being on "The King's Court" and getting in a fight with Lawler, going on way too long in general. King almost admits as much when he comes out, as he puts over Russell as the first person who showed his drawings on the air, and how because of it he got invited to the studio and met his idol Jackie Fargo, a man he would go on to dethrone on his way to becoming "The King of Memphis." Lawler tells us lots of Viagra jokes, none of which made TV, including how one got into a wrestler's pocket at the dry cleaning and he had a "stiff shirt" and how Lawler got some in his eyes and was told he "looked hard." King was very funny and told great stories, but this got totally lost in translation on USA.

The next inductee was 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig. Even though many people had knocked Wade Boggs beforehand for being the presenter, it was clear that he was speaking from the heart far more than he was reading from his speech, and that he was a genuine close personal friend of Hennig's, even going so far as to tell us that Hennig saved his life when they were on a hunting trip in Iowa and got his leg sliced open on some barbed wire - if Hennig hadn't extricated him and carried him to the car so he could get medical help he would have bled to death. They showed a video package of Hennig highlights and then his entire family came out to accept the award on his behalf, including a son who was the spitting image of him and wore the "Mr. Perfect" jacket and his father Larry 'The Axe' Hennig. Leonice Hennig (Perfect's wife) spoke on behalf of the family, saying how he was a great family man and he lived to entertain the people. Another very well-received induction by the crowd with "thank you" chants.

Last but certainly not least was 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes, being inducted by his sons Cody and Dustin. Dustin spoke first and he got a big "GOLDDUST" chant, even without the makeup and suit. Cody put over Golddust when he spoke, saying that Dustin helped usher in the attitude era, and doesn't get near the credit for it he deserves, and then told us all how uncommon a 'Common Man' like his father really was. At this point they showed the video package for Dusty putting over his personality and all of his accomplishments. When Dusty came out to accept his awards, his ovations were easily the equal of J.R. Dusty spoke for a long time, and even though his speech is airing right now on USA there's no way it will be near as long as there are only 8 minutes left on USA and he spoke WAY longer than that. Dusty thanked a lot of people who he came up with in the business, and said that everybody had talked a lot tonight about "passion" and how everybody here, past present and future and all the fans had a huge passion for the business. Dusty spoke a lot about "hard times" and how they all wrestled for the factory workers going through hard times, to hopefully give them some good times. He mentioned several names in the business and had them stand up to get ovations, including Triple H (huge pop), Arn Anderson and Harley Race, but when he got to John Cena he got booed and he said "Well alright I can tell where your passion is!" He says he brought a hankie with him in case he started crying, and pulls black and yellow polka dots and wipes his brow to laughter and another ovation. "I loved that time!" Dusty complains about technology, saying people ask him to e-mail them something he just said five minutes ago, and speaks about how his friend Dick Murdoch was reinvented in the form of JBL. The highlight of the speech was Dusty asking Ric Flair and Arn Anderson to stand up, telling them that right then and there he wanted them to induct him and Harley Race into the Four Horsemen, which got a huge ovation, but then Dusty got huge ovations all night. Hopefully the full speech will be included on the WrestleMania 23 DVD set. He ended by telling us "truly tonight I have dined with kings and queens." They thanked us again for attending and handed out commemorative silver medals on the way out of the Fox Theatre".

[beatie07]

We start with a classic look at WrestleMania from 1 to 22 until now. After the opening video package, we went to a wide shot of WrestleMania III from the Pontiac Silverdome before going live to Ford Field for Aretha Franklin singing "America the Beautiful". A second Mania package aired on the main storylines tonight.

They went to a huge fireworks display, then Ross and Lawler set the stage. Cole and JBL talked about there being more fans for Mania than at Super Bowl XL in the same building. Styles and Tazz made the trip as well.

1 -- JEFF HARDY vs. KING BOOKER (w/Sharmell) vs. FINLAY vs. C.M. PUNK vs. MR. KENNEDY vs. MATT HARDY vs. RANDY ORTON vs. EDGE -- Money in the Bank ladder match
Winner: Mr Kennedy (20 minutes of carnage)

Punk going from one of Cena's gangsters at WrestleMania 22 to opening this year's Mania. We get our first big spot of the night with Finlay coming off the top rope with a splash onto everyone on the outside. The ring is about two or three feet wider apparently, as they went for a couple of tip-over-the-ladder-and-crotch-the-opponent spots, but men were coming up a few feet short. We have our first blood of the night with Punk coming up with a bloody forehead thanks to Edge. After clearing the ring of opponents, Matt and Jeff battled on top of the ladder after the announcers discussed dissension between the brothers. Finlay then tipped over the ladder and both men crashed into the top rope. Edge suddenly fired up with a round of spears for everyone. He found himself alone in the ring and tried to climb a giant ladder, but Randy Orton tipped him over the top rope to the floor. Jeff then set up a huge spot on the ladder after Matt put Edge on a ladder on the floor. JBL told Jeff to turn around and grab the briefcase, but Jeff opted for a giant leg drop spot that broke the ladder in half. Ross said both men must be broken in half. We then got a stretcher job for Edge after Matt tried to look out for his brother. Back in the ring, Orton dropped Matt and Finlay and Kennedy with RKOs. He then set up a ladder at 12:00, but Punk smashed him in the back with a ladder. Orton and Punk battled on top of the ladder, then Orton gave Punk an RKO from eight feet up. King Booker tried to make a run up the ladder, then he caught Orton with a book end from the top of the ladder. Matt then grabbed Sharmell and threatened to give her the Twist of Fate if Booker didn't stop climbing the ladder. Booker took the bait and Hardy gave him the Twist of Fate. Finlay, busted open from his eye, then caught Matt with a Celtic Cross on the ladder. Finlay couldn't climb the ladder, so Hornswoggle emerged and tried to climb the ladder to a huge pop. He's one of the most over persons in the company. Kennedy then cut off Hornswoggle and gave him a sick rolling Kentaun bomb off the top of the ladder. Punk re-entered the picture and dropkicked Finlay off the ladder. He then scaled the ladder, but Kennedy met him up top. Punk and Kennedy exchanged blows and Punk had the best of him, but Finlay came back with a ladder shot out of nowhere just as Punk had one hand on the briefcase. Kennedy then scaled the ladder and slowly unhooked the briefcase to win the match.

2 -- GREAT KHALI vs. KANE
winner: Great Khali (6 Minutes)

Khali opened up with his bowling-shoe-ugly offense before Kane made a comeback with corner clotheslines. Kane then went up top and landed a clothesline that rocked Khali, but didn't knock him over. Khali was then caught in between the ropes. Kane introduced his hook on a chain, but Khali cut him off with a right hand blow. Kane then crotched Khali with the chain for a big pop, then he slammed Khali for a nearfall. They had a standing brawl before Khali gave Kane a two-hand chokeslam and placed his boot on Kane's chest and scored the pin. Afterward, Khali choked out Kane with the chain before leaving him laid out in the ring

Backstage, Cryme Tyme made a rare appearance trying to give Eugene a pep talk about his new haircut. Oh boy, the obligatory get-everyone-on-TV segment. The camera spun over to Extreme Expose, which did a dance with Cryme Tyme. Eugene then found Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah ready to dance. Cryme Tyme didn't get it. More dancing ensued, then Dusty Rhodes interrupted. Apparently, he never change out of his Hall of Fame tux and started grinding with the divas. Jimmy Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, I.R.S. Mean Gene, Pat Patterson, and Jerry Brisco then made cameos sporting their various gimmicks. The Dr. of Style Slick then made a rare appearance and encouraged more dancing. Suddenly, Ricky Steamboat entered the scene in dragon get-up. Finally, the music stopped and Ron Simmons surveyed the scene before shouting, "Damn" into the camera. The music started again and everyone danced.

3. -- CHRIS BENOIT vs. MVP -- U.S. Title match
Winner and Still USA Champion Chris Beniot (10 Minutes)

MVP didn't have the giant inflatable dome entrance, but rather a group of cheerleaders. Good action early on with MVP countering various submission holds from Benoit into his own submission holds. At 4:00, you could hear referee Mickie Henson tell both men, "six minutes," so we know this is going ten minutes. Right on time, Benoit hit a top rope diving headbutt for the win.

BEFORE THE BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES PART1
Donald Trump was backstage on the phone with his former Miss USA sitting next to him. He told the other person on the line that Mr. McMahon is a bad man and treating him like crap with over 100,000 fans in the building. Trump channeling Hulk Hogan. Trump asked for a sandwich. Boogeyman's music hit, but Trump didn't react. He looked at Boogeyman pop up from under the couch, then Miss USA finally reacted and ran away. Trump asked Boogeyman to fetch him a sandwich and he would give him some worms. Where's Jim Cornette when you need him to slap Trump across the face for no-selling Boogeyman?

4 -- BATISTA vs. THE UNDERTAKER -- World Hvt. Title match
Winner and New Smackdown World Champion and 15th Wrestlemania win; The Undertaker (16 Minutes)
After all the drama for the entrances, Batista waited one split-second after the bell rang and speared Taker hard to the mat. The fans were already turning on Batista here. The fight spilled to the outside in the opening minute, with Batista sending Taker crashing into the ring steps. With Taker back in the ring, Batista came off the top with a flying shoulder tackle before absorbing a big boot and nailing Taker with a clothesline. Taker then made a fiery comeback, which the crowd approved of. Taker connected with the Old School clothesline, then went for a chokeslam, but Batista blocked with a kick to the gut. They fought to the outside again and Taker came up with a running leg drop across the throat from the apron. Taker went back into the ring, then he nailed a flying splash clear over the top rope onto Batista. Amazing agility, made even more outstanding on the slow-mo replay. Batista then reversed a whip on the outside and sent Taker crashing into the timekeeper's table. Batista wasted no time landing hard right hand blows to the forehead. Batista then cleared the ECW and Raw announce tables and pounded away on Taker. He then picked up Taker and gave him a running powerslam off the Raw table through the ECW table right to the floor. JBL and Cole then said we're looking at the end of The Streak, which means we're not. Back in the ring, Batista made a cover for a nearfall, then he pounded away on Taker with right hand blows to the head before making another cover for a nearfall. He then set up for a Batistabomb, but Taker shoved him into the corner. Batista quickly recovered and set up for punches in the corner, but Taker gripped him and delivered the Last Ride powerbomb. One...two...kick out by Batista. Fans going crazy here. Batista then came back with a spinebuster and he shook the ropes to major boos. He went for the Batistabomb, but Taker slipped out and hit a chokeslam. One...two...kick out again. Batista then came back with a Batistabomb. One...two...kick out by Taker to a major pop. Batista, frustrated, went for another Batistabomb, but Taker back dropped Batista to the mat. Batista came back with another Batistabomb attempt, but Taker escaped and hit the Tombstone Piledriver for the win to an amazing reaction. Taker then did an elaborate post-match celebration with fireworks after Batista was rolled out of the ring. He soaked up the crowd response for a while before going to one knee to hoist the World Title belt in the air

BEFORE THE BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES PART 2
Vince McMahon was combing his hair in the mirror, then Stephanie McMahon walked in with a baby carriage. McMahon made funny faces for his granddaughter, which Stephanie wasn't too approving of. They cut to stroller-cam as McMahon continued to talk baby about beating the crap out of Trump. He took a whiff of something foul and told Stephanie, "She just took a Trump."

5 -- ECW ORIGINALS (RVD & THE SANDMAN & TOMMY DREAMER & SABU) vs. NEW BREED (ELIJAH BURKE & MATT STRIKER & MARCUS COR VON & KEVIN THORN w/Ariel)
WINNERS: THE ECW ORIGINALS (6 Minutes)

New Breed isolated Sandman early on, then RVD took a hot tag and gave Striker a sick monkey flip out of the corner. The action then broke down with men spilling to the floor left and right. The smoke cleared and Striker was the only man left in the ring. RVD then came off the top with a Five Star frog splash for the win

AND NOW FOR TIME IT's NOW FOR BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES
They aired a video package on Trump vs. McMahon for the 10,000th time, then Lillian Garcia introduced the match. A barber shop set was then wheeled to the ring. Mr. McMahon came out first and strutted to the ring. They cut to ringside where various beauty pageant winners were ringside booing McMahon. Jim Ross said McMahon seemed a bit unbalanced talking to his granddaughter backstage. That's one way to describe it. Armando then led out Umaga, who surveyed the barber shop set before entering the ring. Donald Trump came out with the Rosie O'Donnell's public enemy #1, the former Miss USA, and money fell from the ceiling. Bobby Lashley then came out and Trump clapped it up. Just to show who's the biggest wrestling star in the match, Steve Austin came out last as the special referee. Ross let us know that he and Austin partied it up until 4:00 in the morning, so Austin's in a bit of a gnarly mood

6 -- UMAGA (w/Mr. McMahon) vs. BOBBY LASHLEY (w/Donald Trump) -- Steve Austin special referee --- hair vs. hair match

Lashley was the aggressor early on, but he wouldn't give Umaga room in the corner, so Austin pulled Lashley away and scolded him. Lashley came back with a corner splash and had a cover, but Armando placed Umaga's foot on the bottom rope. Lashley then dragged Armando into the ring and gave him a running powerslam. He rolled him out of the ring, then pulled the top rope down when Umaga charged him and Umaga crashed to the floor. Lashley then went for a suicide dive, but Umaga moved and Lashley ate the floor. Back in the ring, Umaga made a cover for a nearfall. Umaga choked Lashley, but he wouldn't break the hold, so Austin slapped him across the back. They went face-to-face for the first big cheer of the match. Umaga went back to the choke, then Austin pulled him up by the hair and went face-to-face again. Neither man gave any ground. Umaga then went back on the offensive attack. McMahon hopped up on the apron and Austin told him to get down, but McMahon wouldn't listen, so Lashley bumped the ropes and knocked McMahon on his keyster on the floor. Umaga went up top, but Lashley press slammed him to the mat and landed a knock-down clothesline. Both men were on the mat for a nine count, but Austin stopped before counting to ten and the fans popped. He said there's no count out. Shane McMahon then came to ringside and checked on Vince. Umaga choked Lashley, so Austin pulled him to his feet by the eyes. Shane then distracted Austin, who then turned around and took a Samoan Spike to the throat. Shane then fired up with right hand jabs on Lashley before a trashcan entered the picture and Shane went coast-to-coast with a dropkick to Lashley. Chaos ensued after Shane took off his dress shirt and revealed a referee t-shirt. He tried to make a count, but Austin pulled Shane right out of the ring and laid him out. Umaga dropped Austin with another Spike, then Trump became involved and speared McMahon on the outside. He gave McMahon a series of punches, then Umaga went for the Spike a third time, but Austin ducked and nailed Umaga with a Stunner to set up Lashley for a spear on Umaga for the pin and the win. They cut to McMahon ringside, who did a big gulp. "If McMahon is looking for divine intervention, I think the line is busy," Ross said.

Afterward, Austin, Trump, and Lashley celebrated as Vince tried to sneak away. Lashley then ran down the aisle and grabbed McMahon. He dragged him back to the ringside area and threw him into the ring as the barber chair set was set up into the ring. Austin then strapped McMahon into the chair and held his head back as Lashley and Trump went to town shaving McMahon's head. McMahon screamed and was on the verge of tears before they finished the job with some shaving cream. McMahon then left with his head hanging down. Austin, Trump, and Lashley shared beers before Austin surprised Trump with a Stunner in center ring. The fans exploded, then Ross said all of Trump's ex-wives are doing cartwheels right now. Austin had another beer on the entrance ramp as Lashley helped Trump to his feet.

Winner: DONALD TRUMP
Loser: Vince Mcmahon
14 Minutes of Excitement

7 -- MELINA vs. ASHLEY -- Women's Title match -- lumberjill match
Winner and Still Womens Champion Melina
Melina tried to take a quick breather on the outside early on, but the lumberjills rolled her back into the ring. She then went on the offensive until Ashley went for a top rope elbow drop, but missed it by a country mile. They went into a pin exchange and Melina rolled up Ashley with a bridge pin to retain the belt. Afterward, Ashley was a poor sport and threw Melina to the outside. The lumberjills threw her back into the ring, which led to a giant brawl. JBL called it lumberjill pandemonium. Melina managed to slip out of the ring and Trinity posed with her on the stage as Ashley looked frustrated in the ring.

Melina managed to slip out of the ring and Trinity posed with her on the stage as Ashley looked frustrated in the ring.

AND NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT
Shawn Michaels came out first, then we cut backstage where a Ford Mustang sped through downtown and arrived at Ford Field. The vehicle then sped through the tunnel and crashed through a glass entrance. Cena's music hit, then Cena popped out of the vehicle. I'm not sure which was lamer - last year's gangster entrance or this year's odd Need for Speed entrance. Cena then ran to the ring to start the match. Before the bell could ring, a man jumped the guardrail and ran into the ring. Michaels then waved him good-bye and the bell rang seven minutes past the top of the hour.

8 -- JOHN CENA vs. SHAWN MICHAELS -- WWE Title match
WINNER:and Still RAW WOELD CHAMPION JOHN CENA
Michaels wanted a handshake to start things off, but Cena refused so Michaels slapped him across the face. Cena then missed with right hand blows and Michaels landed right hand blows before giving him a crotch chop. Story being built up that Michaels is giving Cena a veteran beating and outsmarting him to get inside his head. They built up to a stiff clothesline by Cena, which drew a mix of boos and cheers. Michaels took a while to recover in the corner and Cena showed more determination on his face, but Michaels came back with a hip toss over the top rope to the floor. Michaels placed Cena near the table, then he came up with a springboard moonsault and both men crashed into the announce table without it breaking. Michaels then wrapped Cena's knee around the ringpost and continued to focus on the left knee. Cena remained in the corner for a while absorbing right hand blows, while also delivering right hand blows of his own. Michaels eventually missed with a corner blow and struck the ringpost face-first. He came up bleeding from the forehead as Cena grabbed his knee in recovery mode. He then ran into a clothesline and pounded away on Michaels's forehead. Cena made his comeback, but without selling the knee that Michaels spent six minutes working on.

Cena did "You can't see me", then he dropped the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena went for the FU, but Michaels slipped out and landed a chop before dropping the referee on accident with Sweet Chin Music when Cena ducked. Cena then went for the FU, but Michaels countered in mid-air with a spike DDT. Nice counter. With the referee KO'ed on the floor, Michaels seized his opportunity and dragged Cena to the outside to give Cena a piledriver into the ring steps. Cena came up bleeding from the back of his head as Michaels rolled him into the ring. He then made a cover and a new ref ran to the ring to count a close nearfall. Michaels then went up top and hit a flying elbow drop. He warmed up the band as Cena recovered to his knees, then out of nowhere, Cena flew at Michaels with a hard clothesline just as Michaels was stepping into Sweet Chin Music. They went into a nice standing exchange with Cena teasing the FU before finally hitting the FU to a mixed pop. He then made the cover and scored a two count only generating another burst of energy from the crowd.

We then saw an amazing exchange with Cena catching Michaels off the top, rolling through, then coming to his feet and going for an FU, but Michaels rolled through into a superkick attempt, only to have Cena go for the STFU. Michaels escaped, though, and rolled into a small package for a nearfall. Michaels then went for another offensive attack, but Cena dropped him on his face and slapped on the STFU. Michaels was about to pass out, but he reached out his hand and grabbed the bottom rope. The ref screamed at Cena when Cena wouldn't break the hold, which gave Michaels time to drop Cena with Sweet Chin Music. Both men then recovered on the mat as the crowd stayed on its feet. Michaels then draped an arm over Cena's chest, but it was good for a two count only. Both men slowly came to their feet, then went into another amazing exchange with Michaels slipping out of the FU, only to have Cena drop him with the STFU right in the middle of the ring. Michaels teased tapping out before finally tapping out with nowhere to go. After the match, Cena went down to both knees and caught his breath. Michaels slowly walked out of the ring, then Cena sat down on the bottom rope, fighting back tears. Ross capped off the story magnificently here, then Cena went to the outside for a handshake with Michaels, but Michaels blew him off and walked up the ramp. Cena then returned to the ring and posed one more time with the ticker tape flying down from the ceiling.
