I went to Raw last night with a buddy of mine. Here are all the details.
*There are some off beat people at WWE shows, I tell ya that. This dude behind me was like "If Chris Masters had to fight Kane he would get a real whoopin" "He can fight for real you know" ok pal. But besides that the people were generally really friendly and easy to talk to. Thats a cool thing about a WWE show. I was literally howling "Woooooooooooooooo!" all through the hallways of the show (12 beers will do that to you)
*Our seats were about 5 rows in front of The King and JR. They completely ignored the crowd for pretty much the entire evening. King looked at me when I told him I have that same shitty jacket at home.
*The camera that shot the wrestlers from the main angle almost hit me in the head roughly 10 times.
*The crowd seemed to be sitting on their hands the entire show. The crowd was really hot at certain times but only for the expected pops. I tried my best but people just looked at me like a crazy drunk. haha.
*JV summed it up right. When Hurricane came out to face HHH everyone in the building looked at each other like "oook"
*Batista is the man. What an perfectly executed angle. I love how HHH seems legitimately intimidated by The Animal.
*Poor Ric Flair. Always generates pops from the crowd. Now he is being booked to be a sweaty, jumpy lackey for HHH. So sad.
*Chris Masters came out to a chorus of boos. Dont know if that came across on TV, but he was not liked by anyone. Lots of "Luger" chants while he was coming to the ring. The rest of the match.......well. I went to get a beer.
*Shelton Benjamin is the IC champ and nobody gives a shit. Give this kid an angle for christs sake !!
*Benoit was very well recieved at the show. When the cut to commerical he stayed in the ring and sucked in the crowd that was chanting his name.
*Maven was classic post match. As commercials were playing some kid came all the way down from the top area and was yelling at Maven. Maven made like he was going to beat this kid down and was "restrained" by 4 security guards. Its stuff like that where a guy can help get himself over. It was funny stuff.
*Chrisy Hemme looks even stupider in person the way she bounces to the ring. I really think that is dumb.
*Trish Stratus rocks. She is my favorite person in the WWE right now.
*Yep, I am interviewing Chris Jericho Monday. Confirmed. Looks like he wants to be in a TLC match. Perhaps they put Christian, Edge, Benjamin, Jericho, Maven and Snitsky in a IC Championship TLC match.
*Edge and HBK was an awesome awesome match that the crowd went beserk for. They were 110% behind HBK.
*Post taping HBK praised to the lord and sucked in a HBK chant for about 5 minutes. I left then due to a foot of snow on the ground.
*It took my 2 hours to get home.
