Oh my god! We had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the rundown of our adventure.
We ended up leaving the house about 4:15 by the time we came back to get my jacket! LOL! We got there about 5. The entrance we drove in was the one that went right by the wrestler's entrance (thank god, or I'd have never seen it!) and Peter said the people already standing there cheered us. LOL! We parked, gathered our stuff and wandered over. We stood there by this bush, and watched people arrive. I had no idea what to expect, but what it was didn't even come close to anything I'd imagined. Basically, they drove up, had conversations with the Security, and then jetted down the ramp. Someone then drove their cars back up and parked them...right behind where we were standing. So...here's who we saw arrive....(Yes...I wrote them down! LOL!)
Victoria (she was so cute, and she WAVED at the crowd)
Lance Storm (I shrieked!)
Arn Anderson (in a Lincoln Navigator)
Rico
CHRIS JERICHO!
Ok...wait a minute while I totally SPAZZ out....mama mia he was beautiful. He had a woman in the car with him (I'm presuming it was his wife) and that caused a bit of a stir amongst the young girls standing next to me. *giggle* He was driving a white Buick (yes, I know it was a rental car, but...well....I took a picture of it after they parked it).
Molly Holly
Bubba Ray with Spike in the passenger seat
HHH (I marked big time..his hair was so beautiful)
RVD (he did the thumb thing for the crowd)
Trish
Test (and he may have had Stacy with him, not sure)
There were a lot of "some guy" type people that drove in too. One was one of the refs, but I have no idea which one.
Ok....so then they come and tell us we have to move away from the hedges and get in line. Cripes! We were in line for 30 minutes! Blargh! Once inside I immediately abandoned the idea of buying t-shirts but we did buy programs. (!!!!!) We decided to get sodas (no way I was paying $9 for a beer!) and while we were in line we looked through the program. I'm squeaking over the pictures, and Peter is getting very embarrassed) and then the people in front of me turn around and ask if Steiner is in there. So...I back up and look again...no Steiner....but ........................Sean O'Haire!
The people looked at me like I'd grown another head! It's the most beautiful picture you can imagine! And...it's a full half page! DUDE!!!!!
Ok....so, we find our seats. Good seats wouldn't quite cover it. AMAZING seats! It was row 9, but it was only 5 rows back! Random things...someone spotted Hulk Hogan sitting in our row. It was uncanny how much he looked like the Hulkster...but after intermission we found out it was a look-a-like. Peter made me take a picture of him. Heh.
Can I just say right now that Peter was amazing!? He put up with me, and he ended up making the whole thing really fun...and he had fun too...and he surprised the hell out of me during the main event.
Matches...
Hurricaine v Rico
Hurricaine won. Dawg..his tattoo is GREEN! Vivid green! I had no idea. The crowd HATED Rico. He got the biggest heat by far. It was a good match.
Spike v Steven Richards
Stevie won. During this match, Peter kept razzing me that Stevie's hair looks like Sean's. *giggle* It doesn't of course. Spike was amazing in this match. I love him.
Tommy Dreamer v Lance Storm
Lance won. *marks for Lance again* The crowd was behind Tommy, but they hated poor Lance. It was noted by the people around us that aside from Stevie, I was cheering for all the heels. LOL! Of course, I love Dreamer too...so that was a weird match. I was cheering for both of them!
Bubba Ray/D'von v D'Lo and Harvard
Tables match. Dudleyz won. Awesome match! Bubba Ray is incredible. They did the 3D...and they put Harvard through a table. Oh...there was interference too. I can't remember that part exactly, but at the end Spike was in the ring with them....
Booker T v Jericho w/Christian
No DQ. ...Book won...but give me a minute to completely SQUEAL AND MARK LIKE MAD over this match for a variety of reasons.
First...the security was so freaking cool you wouldn't believe it. Since we were on the floor, they let us get up and approach the barricade for pictures. I got some pretty close pictures of Jericho (I think) I was using a disposable camera, they'll probably come out like shit, but next time I'll know better. So I'm standing there and Christian hops in the ring first, and I literally squealed and bounced up and down. Then Jericho is so maginficently handsome and sexy and just....good lord. I could have died right at that moment. He was wearing the purple tights (which..hello? they kill me!) and...HE HAD HIS HAIR IN A BUN!!!! *___* And his skin is so smooth..and he was RIGHT THERE FOR GOD'S SAKE! I was shaking!
Secondly...Book was loosing the match pretty badly because it was basically 2 on 1. Well...Jericho pretty much had the match won...and....brace yourself....someone's music hit. Someone who hasn't been around in a while....
THE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To say the place exploded would be an understatement...and Peter and I jumped up and danced in each others arms! Frickin' ROCK man...right there in front of us! Shirtless! Good LORD!!!!! It was the most beautiful thing. Peter was so stoked!!!!! Rock called Book back to the ring and made him do the Spinarooni. Then, Book made Rock do the Rockerooni! Priceless! That was definitley a highlight of the night.
Intermission.
Molly/Victoria v Trish/Jacqueline
Victoria is beautiful. I of course went up to the railing to see if she'd spy me in my OVW shirt. She did not of course. Molly is beautiful too. But dear lord in heaven...TRISH is so compeltely lovely it made me almost cry! I *think* I got a really great shot of her with her pyro. It was so so pretty. Victoria and Molly ended up getting the win because Richards interfered.
Test v Raven
With Stacy. She's cute. Raven....*thud*
Here's the rundown. Still braids, no makeup, black short tights. He looked fucking amazing. I got a rather crooked picture of him because I was so amazed by him. Test won because of Stacy I'm pretty sure. OH...but Raven kissed her! That was amusing. The crowd was really riding Raven hard..."Lose weight"...."Do some situps"..."You're fat"....ARGH!
Kane v Rosey with Rico
Kane is ENORMOUS! *____* I marked so much for him! Good lord! Oh..he won the match too. But I should mention right here that the guy sitting in front of me was enormous too. Batista huge. Pissed me off because he was right in front of me! Ugh! During this match I was squealing quietly to Peter about how amazing Kane was, and I said "God...he's HUGE"...to which monster-sized man turns around and says..."No he's not"...*blink* S'cuse me!? Kane won so we got the big pyro at the end. I took a picture.
OH! Forgot to mention...Jericho had the coolest pyro too!
Ok...next was the main event....the one where I screamed myself silly. The one...*____*
Steiner/RVD v HHH/Batista
Flair comes out to the ring first. Now, at this point I'm right at the barricade. One person in front of me. I nearly passed out in sheer awe of being that close to Ric Flair. It was weird...So, he's talking and I have no idea what he's saying because of the echo in there...but then he says a word I hear loud and clear....BATISTA
X____________X
He is so much more beautiful in person. Oh my. I stood there mute the entire time. No "Leviathan" chants, no "OVW" chants...no jockeying closer so he could see the shirt. Just....breathless. I almost grabbed on to the man standing next to me. He's big...but his skin....*dead* His eyes....*deader*...
Then HHH...and how much did I mark for the water spit? He threw the freakin' bottle right over my head! I got a picture of that too. All the rest of my pictures were taken of Batista though. RVD and Steiner came out...and I'm sure I was the only person in there that did this. Steiner is posing right in front of us...RIGHT THERE MAN...and here's me staring at Batista. With my mouth open.
The match was so incredible! Batista was AMAZING!!!!! No, it's not just the inside me talking...he was amazing. Everyone said it. He did the "unmovable object" thing on Steiner which went over really well. He manhandled Steiner which made me squeal like mad. HHH seemed injured so he wasn't in the ring much. Steiner does look a bit "weak" for lack of a better word. He was not able to lift Batista up very well. Hee! RVD was good too, but I honestly really only had eyes for Batista.
Oh..this one thing killed me so dead. They did all this posturing before they got in the ring. It was really quite funny. Making HHH out to be a coward or something. Everytime Batista got in the ring, Steiner would freak out. So...at one point....Batista's standing there right in front of HHH, and HHH reaches over and massages his shoulders. I DIED! Batista manhandled RVD quite a lot too...which made me shiver.
Behemoth man in front of me was pissing me off because I was marking like a mo-fo for Batista, and not in a quiet way, and he turned around and stared at me several times. But here's the funny part...PETER marked for Batista too! WHEE!
Match ended when Batista finally (and I was waiting for it) went for the Demon bomb on RVD, missed it, and RVD hit the five star frog splash on him instead.
RVD stayed in the ring forever, and we left since Batista had slithered out of the ring by that point.
