Armageddon 2007

PITTSBURGH -- Over the past few weeks, Finlay has neglected his personal well-being to protect Hornswoggle from the clutches of The Great Khali. At Armageddon, however, the illegitimate son of Mr. McMahon finally repaid the favor, helping the Irishman slay the Punjabi giant, and earning one of the, literally, biggest wins of his career.

PITTSBURGH -- Rey Mysterio came into Armageddon hoping to beat some respect into MVP and walk out as the United States Champion.

PITTSBURGH -- For the second time this year, Edge has transformed Pittsburgh into the "Steal City." Actually, highway robbery might be the best way to describe his heinous actions at Armageddon Sunday night, when he -- aided heavily by some shocking outside interference from "Edge" and "Edge" -- defeated Batista and Undertaker, and all but stole
