RassleNotes: Crowd was approximately 5,000 - 5,500 with a conservative gate of $197,500 based on 5,000 multiplied by an average ticket price of $39.50. Undertaker, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk were the most over, in that order. Overall a fun show. I will have more on this card later in the week with a column that looks at some of the things that I feel made the show a success.
