After a year of being away, RAW came back to LV

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Oh man, what an experience that was. Yes, I do love going to shows and that's why I am a super fan.

 

So I get to the back of the arena. Coach, Earl Hebner, John Heidenreich, Lance Storm, Matt Hardy, Lita, Hurricane, Christian, Molly, Charles Robinson, and of course Rico were nice enough to stop and sign and take pics for us. Rico brought his family with him (God, his wife is hot) and was the only one who come from behind the gate and made us hometowners happy taking pics together and signing stuff. He encouraged us to boo him because he wanted to make sure Stevie's try as a face would work.

 

D-Von, Maven, and Matt Hardy were picked to do Meet and Greet.

 

I read the other thread with the report for the show and I must give corrections to the following fuck-ups.

 

Lita/Trish def Jazz and Molly, when Lita pins Molly with the Litasault. Lita was way over with the crowd. Fans were very into this match and it showed as all 4 ladies turned it up another notch.

 

CORRECTION: Lita pinned Molly with that DDT of hers.

 

Spike Dudley def Test w Stacy. Stacy threw a chair Test did the chair bounce off the rope spot setting up Spike for the Dudley Dog and the pinfall.

 

CORRECTION: Spike won by pinfall with a roll-up after Test whacked himself silly.

 

Hurricane def Matt Hardy. Matt got a huge face reaction when he came to the ring, but then turned the crowd with a heel promo. Finish saw Matt seemingly have the match won, until Lita came out giving Matt the Lita-curanna which allowed Hurricane to deliver the shining wizard for the pinfall.

 

CORRECTION: Hurricane won with the Eye of The Hurricane

 

Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be seated next to the aisle about 7 rows back from the ring so the view was great. I highfived Val Venis, John Heidenreich, Lita, Maven, D-Von, Hurricane, Booker T, RVD, and Goldberg.

 

So yeah, it was fucking awesome to see WWE try out the Stevie-Rico feud and give us Goldberg / Kane after all. They were both awesome matches that got the crowd into them. Rico got a mixed reaction. I'm guessing because he got the pop for being the hometown hero, but because he was also the heel and has the bisexual character to play although his homosexual antics did both disgust and entertain the crowd.

 

Low point of the night: Chris Jericho seeing my "Chris Jericho was the first and BEST Undisputed Champion the WWE ever had" sign and not reaction at all.

 

Highlights of the night: RVD seeing my "RVD 4:20" sign and saying "That's awesome." I was dressed in my green pimp suit again and Miss Jackie pointed me out to the crowd as I proudly held up my "Rico is My Role Model" sign. Victoria saw my "I Love Victoria" sign, said "That's right, baby." and also highfived me. After the Costantino / Richards match, Rico came to me, gave me a hug, and kissed me on the right temple which promptly got a "What the fuck?" response out of me. Then Victoria came. I gave her a rose and she hugged me. Oh yeah.

CORRECTION: Hurricane won with that one move of his where he holds them in a Dragon Sleeper like position and then he turns around and slams them down with his other arm on their chest.

It's called the "Eye of the Hurricane."

Thanks.

Let me tell you how nice it was to see Spike and Jazz back in the ring again.

BAHAHAHAHA. That's awesome.

 

Sounds like you had a great time and enjoyed yourself. I know some people complain about the product while watching it at home, but seriously though, watching it live is AMAZING.

[Guest Anglesault]

Rico sounds like a genuinely nice guy.

 

 

And to our Rico, did you give some kind of signal that the whole hug/kiss thing would be okay? Because I'm sure he wouldn't have done it if you were uncomfortable.

YOU TOUCHED RICO~!

 

I need your soul.

You should have told Rico that you post on a Wrestling Message Board using his name.

YOU TOUCHED RICO~!

I saw Rico at a restaurant. No love?

 

Anyway, I guess they come to this area more often than Vegas, but I'm still not interested in house shows. And SD has sucked so much I wasn't interested in going to that.

Sorry for the delay. Um...well he knew how much of a fan I was of his so he decided to play around since he was in character at the time. It was awesome he hugged me, the kiss caught me off guard though since I didn't expect him to do that. I was cool with it. It was just so much fun since it all happened in public and Friday night was the 4th time I met him.

Hopefully, I get a good experience as well for the show I will be going to. I am headed to the RAW House show at MSG.
