Mike Johnson is live at Wrestlemania, and will be sending in notes from the event throughout the evening.
*There was a small "Cena sucks" chant before the show.
*All of the brand ring announcers came out.
*They aired a music video on WWE's popularity worldwide putting over what looks to be a new company slogan, "WWE is Pop Culture". It was the same video shown to the company's stockholders at the annual meeting recently.
*They introduced the announcers next. Joey Styles jumped up and down as he walked to the ramp. There was polite applause for everyone until Jim Ross came out. Ross got a huge standing ovation. Jerry Lawler followed, receiving another nice response.
*In a dark match Ric Flair & Carlito defeated Gregory Helms and WWE Cruiserweight champ Chavo Guerrero. The lunberjacks were everyone from all three brands not booked, even Vito. They had to have cracked a lumberjack record. Chavo was dropkicked the apron by Carlito, caught by Snitsky and pressed and slammed into the ring. Carlito pinned Helms. Nothing of note.
