Fan Report
We received this report from the December 29th SmackDown/ECW show in Baltimore:
This was a great show with an energetic crowd.
The double main event saw the Brothers of Destruction (Kane and Taker) defeat Khali and Viscera.
Edge retained his title against Batista in a last man standing match after interference.

Two superstars who have been recently suspended wrestled on the card anyway, as Chavo Guerrero and John Morrison were in action.
