Man... Wednesday night was awesome! Seeing the WWE live that night definitely changed my opinion of their live shows, since the last time we had gone (also our first) wasn't all that great of a show. Not to mention this time basically everyone I wanted to see was there and wrestling (Jeff Hardy, DX, Mr. Kennedy).Speaking of Jeff Hardy, I was (and still am) a fan of his and it was disappointing to not see him in action some years back. So to see him that night (and in the main event no less) made it all worth it.
Now the only person who I wanted to see and didn't make it was Ashley (pictured to the left). I suppose maybe in another few years?
One thing I did learn that night though and that is get there early. We were sitting in traffic for about an hour, I mean the streets around the entire Blasdell area was just plugged up and bad! Oh and being a fan without a camera was a bad, bad thing. Lesson learned for the next time the show comes to town...
The show itself had a pretty good match line-up, though we missed almost the entire "Career Threatening Match" between Ric Flair verses Mr. Kennedy.
Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton match was fun because both guys kept pointing out a sign in the crowd throughout their match. On one side it said "Shove it up your ass Orton!" and the other side said "Orton's Only Fan." So each guy kept having that particular fan turning their sign around and around. Actually what did it for me was the fact that there was this guy sitting next to us that would be screaming at the top of his lungs "RKO!" every time the crowd chanted "Y2J!"
The D-Generation X vs. Regal & Umaga match was also entertaining, mostly because of DX's antics. The place went absolutely nuts when they did their pre-match "Are you ready?" bit.
Jeff Hardy and Carlito match was pretty good, it shows how much Hardy has changed over the years. I remember before he left the WWE, his matches were just drag out boring. But now, now he looks like a guy that is actually out there with a purpose. Awesome match.
Anyway, yes... fun night, good memories. Money worth it? Without a doubt. I can't wait until the next time a show comes to town, that much is for sure.
