Spanish Announce table status: Still standing.
Mick Foley and Edge put on the first of two show-stealing bouts. The first major spot of the match came as Edge attempted his spear, only to find out the hard way that Foley had wrapped razor wire around his midsection. Edge's arm ripped open, spewing blood. The two insane combatants went back and forth, beating each other with barbed wire, cooking sheets, and eventually a reversal by Foley to drop Edge onto a pile of tacks. Those tiny metal objects would stick in his body for the remainder of the bout.
Both men would be sliced open gushing blood before this was over. A major highlight was the demonic return of Mr. Socko, only this time, it too was wrapped in barbed wire. While Edge took a mouthful, it was Lita who saw the worst, getting her lip sliced as Foley stuck his sock-covered hand down her throat.
The match would meet an amazing fate, as Foley and a table were doused in lighter fluid. Setting the table on fire, Edge would spear Foley through the ropes off the apron, sending them crashing through the flames for a stunning finish. Foley's arms were obviously singed, and the Edge looked like he had some form of a concussion, not to mention a staggering amount of blood loss from a severe gash in his head.

What would have most likely calmed the crowd down is the Women's Title match, yet this one also stood out. Mickie James cemented herself as a superstar, over shadowing long-standing champ Trish Stratus. Very few punches were pulled here, as these girls hit hard. The results were one of the best women's matches in recent years, and the continuing saga between the two added to the brawl.
There was plenty of sexual innuendo, and James had issues keeping her top on. The crowd didn't seem to mind. The finish was botched, though it seemed as if Trish's leg gave out due to injury. The quick recovery wasn't an ideal finish. However, it didn't put a damper on what was an energetic and certainly enjoyable bout, and a victory for new champ Mickie James.

Wrestlemania 22 was one of the greatest nights in wwe history. Up to this point no Wrestlemania was able to top Wrestlemania 17, but I think Wrestlemania 22 surpased it.
The highlights of the night were the spear to Mick Foley threw a flamming table, Shawn Michaels hitting an elbow from a 20 ft ladder onto Vince and John Cena making the Game tap out. This Wrestlemania definately lived up to all the hype.
