Tom, Ian and I met up in Sleaford before going to the station to catch the train to Nottingham...We did some shopping and bought our tickets...we got a discount because we were travelling as a group...Got to Nottingham after about 50 minutes then we walked into the city and shopped for a few hours...the best shop was the Gadget Shop...we got to play with loads of the stuff!!!
I bought a new cross pendent...similar to Jeff Hardy used to wear...only it has blue stones on it...I like it...I bought it at a market in Broadmarsh centre
We made our way to the arena and waited by the back entrance...Then Two buses came down and guess who was sat at the front of bus 1??? GOOD OL' J.R!!!! It was so cool to see all the wrestlers coming in...BUS 2.....OMG JAY RESO WAS RIGHT AT THE FRONT>...about 2ft away from me!!!!...I also saw Nash and HHH on the bus and D-Von...
...Tom fell over and ripped the skin off the side of his face, his knee, shin and knuckles...it was a mess!!!
Then we went inside to find our seats!!!...We were waiting ages for the show to start and all we could say was "oh My God" many many times...We saw them bring the cool box of beer down and put it under the ring!!! And...WE SAW SGT SLAUGHTER...He came out and waved at everyone!!!
Finally the lights went down and the RAW theme hit...First off we're all welcomed by the Fink...Then Eric Bischoff came out...It was cool chanting asshole at him...followed obviously by Austin...Hearing Glass Breaks...live was...amazing...they argued back and forth...we got to say What along with Austin for a while and then Austin called out J.R and the King (to J.R's music)...More talking went down followed by a Beer Bash and a Stunner to Bischoff...What a way to start the show...Fun, great crowd interaction....Onto the card!!!
Match One:
The Hurricane Vs Mr Charisma Himself...Lance Storm...Great match the fans were really getting behind The Hurricane, many chants, yelling, clapping...the works...Hearing Hurricane's music and seeing him was amazing...I was so slapping Ian's knee and screaming...He did the Hurri-pose and everything...And Ian started a Hurricane chant during the match that went right round the arena!!!...Shane Helms is so gorgeous...Even more so in person!!!...I so wish we'd been by the barrier so we could have touched him!!!
WINNER = The Hurricane
Match Two:
Al Snow Vs Maven...Again a great match...They kept reversing the pins and getting to two then reversing again!!! Fans weren't really sure which way to go as to who to support until Snow made a few cheap shots but Maven picked up the win which was followed by a hug...That right there is respect!!!
WINNER = Maven
Match Three:
Val Venis Vs Test w/ Stacy Keibler....COULD STACY'S DRESS GET ANY SHORTER...Half the men in the crowd weren't concentrating on the match...But Val made a gross comment about rubix cubes...Just don't ask...But the match was going a few minutes and Test leap-frogged Val and just collapsed...twisted his ankle...One EMT and two referees came down and were with Test ages, they finally helped him back to his feet...Val held the ropes open...that made it seem more real and serious...but Test cheapshotted Val and the match continued...Test got pissed off with Stacy's dress and wrapped Val's towel around her...She finally took it off and Test like knocked her off the apron and hurt her ankle...Test picked up the win and Val gave his towel to some woman
WINNER = Test
Match Four
Goldust Vs Rico...Rico was booed from the moment his music hit...Goldust was the favorite all the way through...pretty even contest...I have a new found respect for Rico after he was the only wrestler to come to the gate to sign autographs!!!
WINNER = Goldust
Match Five
Dudleyz Vs Nowinski/Mack w/Theodore Long...This match confused me...Teddy sent out a tag-team white boy challenge and the Dudleys came out...Maybe someone should have pointed out D-Von is colored...But still Dudleyz got a great reaction...We Want Tables chants filled the arena...Match was pretty even...D-Von got more ring time than Bubba...and the one time they went for the table it was drop kicked into D-Von's face...Nowinski and Mack got the win and Teddy started preaching how he was gonna have the Dudleyz put through the table but who made the save....LITTLE SPIKE DUDLEY made a run in...and Nowinski was 3D-ed through the table...and the table shattered nicely!!!...Then once Mack/Nowinski and Teddy had left the ring...D-Von and Bubba got two little kids out of the crowd and brought them into the ring and got Spike to take a picture of them together and they celebrated with these two little boys...Now that...deserves Respect!!! Then they threw bits of table to the crowd!!!
WINNERS = Rodney Mack/Nowinski
Intermission...More Finkle goodness...
Match Six
Booker T Vs Christian (IC Title Match)...Booker was obviously the face of the match, Christian was the heel...Christian was booed to hell...But there were a few people cheering...his Peeps were backing him!!!...I.E...ME!!!...I didn't care that I was one of the only people cheering him!!!...I kept slapping Ian and Tom on the leg coz they were cheering Booker and trying to start Christian sucks chants!!! OMG some fan jumped the barrier and tried to get in the ring during the match...Booker and Christian were really professional and just stepped back while security dragged him out of the arena before continuing the match!!!...I couldn't help but laugh...I shouldn't really but Christian was like running away every two seconds and hugging the ringpost and he threw the biggest temper tantrum of them all but cute none the less!!!...Booker did the Spineroonie while Christian was like dead on the outside of the ring somewhere...Christian was gonna do a Spineroonie...he did the hand movement then stopped *pouts* It would have been cool to see!!!... beat Booker and he lay dead in the ring while Christian walked up the walkway thing with his title hugging it, kissing it and blowing kisses to the crowd...who were still booing him...Booker got up...his music hit...he taunted the crowd, got some cheers and made his way backstage!!!
WINNER = Christian
Match Seven
Kane/RVD Vs La Resistance (World Tag Title Match)...Kane got a good reaction...RVD got a godlike reaction...La Resistance got booed...but it was almost a X-Pac like reaction...not good for them...But the match was very cool great team work on both teams...Kane went for a Chokeslam early on and failed...and later he got knocked down and did his trademark sitting up thing...Then a bit later he hit the Chokeslam followed by RVD's 5-Star Frogsplash...Picked up the win...but there were no pyro's so their finish wasn't too great and RVD was getting most the attention...
WINNERS = Kane/RVD
Match Eight
Jazz w/Theodore Long Vs Victoria Vs Trish (Triple Threat Woman's Title Match)...PLEASE SHOOT TEDDY...Well Victoria came out first, follwed by "Baby Girl" Jazz...Teddy was trying to get everyone to give her a standing ovation...*snorts with disapproval*...Then Trish came out dressed as Robin Hood...Well Nottingham is Robin Hood County I guess!!! Match was mainly a 2 on 1 assualt Jazz/Vic ganging up on Trish but there was some pretty good wrestling
WINNER = Jazz
MAIN EVENT
Chris Jericho/Triple H w/Flair Vs Nash/Steiner w/ Shawn Michaels and Stacy...HBK and Triple H got like the best responses of the night...The sexy boy pose and the water thing...just get the crowd going...OMG I SAW THE SEXY BOY POSE LIVE...Shawn Michaels is like a wrestling legend!!!!...And Triple H's entrance is just so much cooler live than it is on TV apart from everybodies flashes blind you!!! Once everyone had made they're way to the ring with their respective music...only Stacy came out to Steiner's and Flair came out with HHH...they stood in the ring trash talking each other...Steiner and Y2J were to face off...Y2J started doing an impersonation of Steiner and his muscles that have muscles that and HHH came in the ring behind Y2J and lifted his arms higher and broght them closer to Y2J's face to make him look more Steiner-y...Hard to put into words but very funny!!! The match was hard to keep track of...HBK and Flair killing each other outside the ring...everyone dieing inside the ring...HHH tried to Pedigree Nash but it was reversed and HHH was killed...he lost CLEANLY...OMG...NO SLEDGEHAMMER...I'm impressed...HBK, Nash, Scott, Stacy all celebrated and Nash and Steiner kept making Stacy go through the ropes so they could stare at her ass!!!...Once they'd gone...Flair was still dead...HHH was still dead and Y2J was beginning to move...HHH got to his feet and just collapsed into a heap again...Then Y2j helped him up and steadied him, stepped back and HHH collapsed again followed by Y2J...The three of them did finally get up and make their way back...We couldn't wooooooooooo with Ric Flair because our voices had died!!!!
WINNERS = Steiner/Nash
Despite the lack of pyros it was still a great show with a great crowd...and all the wrestlers touched and talked to the fans along the walkway which I respect!!!
On the way out of the Arena I bought an official programme for £10...and a t-shirt for £5...then we had to find our way to the pizza place in the dark...in the city...but we got there alive and unharmed...We then waled up to James and Kate's house...and found it without getting lost...then we collapsed and watched Gone in 60 Seconds while eating pizza and drinking lots...We then attempted to sleep but it had gone 5am before Ian, Tom and I got to sleep...Tom and I shared a sleeping bag and he kept stealing it!!!
We came home today on the 2pm train after having cold pizza for breakfast...Tom's face was beginning to go black...
Insurrextion wasn't as good match-wise the card was as follows...
Trish Vs Jazz w/Theodore Long (Woman's Title Match)...Run in By Victoria...Teddy interfered
WINNER = Jazz
Teddy was told that because he interfered he would be put in a match later in the night and the tag match featuring the Dudleyz, Nowinski and Mack would become a Six Man Tag featuring Spike and Teddy...Thanks to Co-GM Austin
Booker T Vs Christian...Pretty much the same as last night's match only Christian is a cheating bastard and King lied...he was like...we were in Nottingham last night and they loved Christian there...
WINNER = Christian
Kane/RVD Vs La Resistance (World Tag Titles)...Not all that different
WINNERS = Kane/RVD
Rico Vs Goldust...Again pretty much the same
WINNER = Goldust
CHRIS JERICHO'S HIGHLIGHT REEL...Special Guest Eric Bischoff...Austin came down and raised hell, drank beers with the boys and Stunnered them both
Dudleyz Vs Nowinski/Mack/Theodore...Teddy didn't see much action...Nowinski tasted wood again...Spike picked up the pin-fall
WINNERS = Dudleyz
Scott Steiner Vs Test (Val Venis Special Guest Referee)....Stacy was def on Scott's side in this one...Test made her wear the towel again...Stacy's distractions and help let Scott get the pinfall
WINNER = Scott Steiner
Nash w/ HBK Vs HHH w/ Flair (Street Fight for World Title)...Brutal...Very brutal...much blood and high impact action...All four men got involved and all four men got beat down...HHH was back to his old ways and used the Sledgehammer to pick up the win
WINNER = Triple H
So now the Road to Insurrextion is complete...No more turns and bends...now the road to BADD BLOOD begins...*coughs* Bring Back KOTR!!!!
I still didn't get the Hardyz' autobiography "Exist 2 Inspire" or their pendent *pouts*....BUT....I had the most amazing day of my life yesterday...I still can't believe we saw the WWE RAW Superstars live...It's so weird...The atmosphere was like nothing on earth...I was shaking...and seeing Shane Helms and Jay Reso was like....just so great!!!!
