Yeah I'm making a new thread because I was therre and wanted to give my thoughts about it. So cry about it.


Anyways, we left the house at like 6 pm. When we got into the States we got pulled over by customs. The only reason I mention this is because Chris' (my sister's boyfriend) car had a bunch of dirty laundry in it. The try-hard customs officer asked in the most serious voice ever, "Why are you bringing your dirty laundry into my country?" OMFG if he wasn't a spazz and about to send us to immigration, I was gonna burst out laughing. But anywho, moving on.


We got to the Joe, and the first thing we noticed was how horribly shitty their selection of shirts was. Seriously, the Evolution shirt was the only decent one there. Needless to say, we didn't buy any shirts. That was disappointing. Oh well, there's still always Shopzone. Goddamn though, awful selection.


So we get into the show, get our hot dogs/nachos/coke and whatnot, and wait. Sunday Night Heat starts, a couple matches are done, and that's well. Little longer of a wait, then finally Raw starts. I must say that it's been quite a while since I've heard Tazz's music. He is the man. The national anthem still must have gotten the biggest pop of the night. Jesus Christ.


Anyways, I'm not going to give a minute-by-minute rundown of Raw. Just my own personal experiences herre. I found it rather funny when Renee was fighting Jericho, and people were chanting for Jericho, and chanting "USA!" as well. I mean, it's not like Jericho's Canadian or anything. It was actually funny, some guy in the section next to ours was spazzing out like "Jericho's Canadian, why are they saying USA? God, idiots!" I laughed at him.


Nidia got a haircut or something. She's less ugly.


Cena came out and was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey. I found that rather awesome, as I was also wearing that exact Barry Sanders jersey. Perhaps that is because Barry Sanders > everything. Also, ROFL @ HHH going to SD!. Everybody was laughing at him, it was great. It was funny when he threw his bottle of water as well.


Rhyno getting drafted was pritty hot, unexpected. Pritty funny too. They were all like, "From Detroit, Michigan" and everyone was marking out and stuff. My cousin is friends with Rhyno. Anywho, it ruled. I was wearing my Sanders jersey, like I said, and when Rhyno was talking backstage it was hot. He was like, "Detroit doesn't respect your athletes. You got the Detroit Lions" and I stood up and shouted and was like "YEAAAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOOOOOOO... oh wait :(", then he said "They haven't won *something* (couldn't hear over the crowd) in 10 years", then everyone in like the surrounding 5 sections laughed at me. It was hot.


LOL the best was during the Batista/Flair and RVD/Booker T match. When Evolution came out, I think I cheered the whole match through for Batista. Such witty mannerisms as, "SNAP HIM LIKE A TWIG, DAVE!" and "C'MON DAVE, DON'T LET THAT GET TO YOU, KEEP YOUR CHIN UP" (after a rather viscious move. Many of the people in our section actually began cheering for Batista at that point. It was lovely. Of course, when they won, everyone but me was booing. I stood up and cheered on the Deacon vigorously. :heart:


Some time after that match, me and some random Detroiter next to me were discussing how awesome it would be if Raw drafted Big Show. We cheered out for Big Show whenever there was a pick. Unfortunately, he was not drafted. :'(


The main event was pritty hot. We left a bit early so we didn't catch the whole ending, but 20 minutes to get from Joe Louis to Windsor > watching a HHH match. The ending sounded hot, but we caught most of the match anyways, so it wasn't too bad. Decent match.


Oh yeah, Edge came back too. That was pritty cool, but I'm not a huge Edge fan so I wasn't overly excited.


Anyways, hot show overall, wasn't as boring as you'd think (considering there were only like 4 matches), actually seemed very fast-paced. I suppose that the biggest pops of the night were...

1. Edge
2. Austin
3. Rock (during the videos for Walking Tall)
4. Benoit
5. National Anthem

The five biggest boos were uh...

1. Rhyno
2. Paul Heyman/Smackdown
3. Renee Dupuis
4. Evolution
5. Bischoff (at times, other times they cheered him a lot)

Hot show overall. Probably wasn't as good on TV, but the experience was hot in herre.

You could have cheered on Batista with me :'(


Also, apparently Renee's last name is Dupree. My bad. Not that I care or anything, but I figure I should probably correct myself.

LOL the best Batista part was when someone in the section over from us was like, "R V D!" in a deep voice, then after that, I shouted out "Ba tees tah" in the same voice. Everybody grew silent for like 10 seconds after that. :cool:


Also, LOL. During the Christian/Spike match, a "Christian sucks!" chant started. It was like:

CROWD: CHRISTIAN SUCKS
*pause*
CROWD: CHRISTIAN SUCKS
*pause*
CROWD: CHRISTIAN SUCKS
*pause*
CROWD: CHRISTIAN SUCKS
*pause*
CROWD: CHRISTIAN SUCKS
ME: COCK
CROWD: *silence*

Raw was crazy-go-nuts tonight. Even with only 5 matches (Rico-Kane doesn't count).

"They haven't won *something* (couldn't hear over the crowd) in 10 years",

Nono, I know that. It's just that I watch Raw much more often than SD! (I tend to be busier on Thursdays), so it would give me more opportunities to make fun of Big Show, hence why I want him on Raw.

Wow, what a helluva show to go to. Well heres my report of a visit to JLA for RAW.

After standing outside for a good half hour, maybe more. I got inside and signs were getting checked, and they took my Undertaker sign because I put American Bad Ass on it and no profanity (ass) was allowed. So that kind of annoyed me. But inside I got the new Cena Word Life Tshirt, as well as the new Austin shirt with the beer on the front.

Don't completely remember all of SNH, but Garrison Cade's name was on the video without Mark Jindrak so I knew that team was gonna split up.

Most everyone saw RAW so I wont get into too many details. Some off camera happenings were Jindrak came out and said a few things about moving to SD, and since we were cheering Rhyno too much, he cut a promo with the Bashams to get himself over as a heel, which worked with the crowd, saying Detroiters dont respect real athletes, and that the Tigers havent won a baseball game in 10 years among comments. When Nidia came out, a bunch in my section started chanting "Change Your Shirt", which she did to reveal herself.

But probably the best moment of the night, after checking the tape, wasnt even on TV!!!!! A fan jumped the rail during the Eddie/HHH match and got at HHH for a second. Security chased him for a few seconds and hancuffed him. When they were taking him away, a bunch in my section gave him a standing o.

Since on the tape RAW went off with everyone in the ring, Ill let you know what happened afterwards. HHH ran off, while everyone was fighting, Austin and Benoit basically cleared the ring, with Big Show getting a stunner and Benoit getting the crossface on someone. Austin and Benoit celebrated with beer afterwards. Benoit started to walk off, but Austin kept tossing him more beer. So I guess Benoit doesnt catch very well, because Austin threw him about 10 beers and he only caught 3 of them. After the beer bash was over, Austin got back on his ATV, up the ramp and he ran into the SD podium, knocking it over. Lilian then thanked us to end the show.

I havent really watched the broadcast yet, but the crowd seemed really into it all night. I had a good view of everything, but was way too high up than I realized. I was at the very upper deck, maybe 15-20 rows from the top of the building, meaning I was almost eye level to the video screen at the top. A few people liked my sign of Brock Lesnar = Future Bench Warmer, one guy even took a pic of it. But overall a great show live.

A few more notes I remembered after the show. The ring cleared out to basically Austin, HHH, Benoit, Big Show, and Kane. Show and Kane tried to chokeslam each other at the same time, but Austin broke it up and gave them both stunners. And since I didnt see WM, I got to see live, HHH tap out to Benoits crossface.

But a great show, was disappointed to not see Orton, Foley, The Rock and Undertaker.

Good times at RAW. But since you left early, you probably missed the guy that jumped the barrier and got at HHH for a second. He of course was handcuffed and taken away.
