Bob holds out longer than one would expect, staying in and bringing a fight to 'Taker.

Using purple for ECW entrants in place of the hideous yellow Wikipedia uses. Symbolic of it being between RAW and SmackDown! Morrison goes up against Michaels, which sounds like fun.

The Animal runs in and powers Dreamer right out (28, Dreamer) before gunning for Undertaker

Bob just picks up and dangles him over the rope, dropping the little bastard. (27, Hornswoggle)

Things between to resettle with Michaels/Undertaker, Batista/Kane and Punk/Benjamin.

Cena runs in and throws out Elijah (7, Burke) and helps toss out Mark (6, Henry) while Orton sends out Chavo (5, Guerrero) But if Cena's #29, then who's #30?
