(no subject)
Ooh my computer does not approve of this level of multitasking. Well, suck it up, Unc. People want pictures!
So after an afternoon of working on signs, left around 6 and arrived before the doors opened-- by about two minutes. Timed perfectly, yay. So went inside and wandered (the center goes in a circle and I realized if I had just gone backwards, I would've gotten to where I needed to be sooner but eh hindsight lol) until I found a merch table... it was kind of my personal Hell, all I could see was Cena and Rey merch. Haha. BUT it had programs so I bought my program there, because what I thought was my section's entrance was next to it and concessions were across from it.
Went to get a soda and the four or five people in front of me had some issue with their order- the manager had to come and stare at their receipt and I was waiting and waiting and waiting... listening to the Cena fans behind me, biting my tongue as one of the men kept saying "YOU CAN'T SEE ME"... While I waited, I noticed the price for collectible cups were $6.50. Thought I was reading things for a bit, they're usually 4.50 so I was confused until I saw one of the women in front of me handed one of the cups. Caught a glance and went "aha", got up on tippy toes to see over her and yep, it was a collectible cup with all the wrestlers on it, instead of the usual PCC cups. I had brought along some extra money so... I decided to go for it. If the people in front of me ever left, haha.
While I waited some more, I overheard the goof yelling Cena's saying tell the kids with him that this was a Smackdown taping and they'll be on TV. Had to laugh at that because seriously? If you buy tickets, you should at least know what the heck you're buying.
Finally the five people were told to stand off to the side while whatever about their order got fixed and I was about to walk forward when the Cena-fanatics cut ahead of me. *eye/jaw twitch* Meh! I dunno if they thought I was with those five but either way argh. Finally they left and I got my soda and bolted for the entrance to my section. I wanted to make sure so I wandered up to a security guard and he took one look at me with my signs, the program and the soda and said, "Ooh we got a fan here". No, I waited eight months for this event because I hate WWE. Lol. So showed him my ticket and he confirmed that I was, indeed, in the right place...
Got to my seat and jaw dropped. This picture, just so you know, was taken without zoom. It's a little blurry because I was too gleeful to sit still lol
That was my view before the people took the five seats in front of me. I was about to die. It was AMAZING. As soon as I got settled in, this guy next to me asked where I bought my tickets from. I was surprised and said, "Uh, Ticketmaster" and he said that this woman had sold them tickets from Ebay and she was supposed to be sitting next to them... then he asked what my name was and I told him Amy and he was like, "Oh, you're not her". Yeah, obviously dude, wasn't the "confused-why-is-this-stranger-talking-to-me" look on my face proof of that? He left me alone after that. 25 minute wait after I got to my seats, the show started right at 7:30.
Why hello there Justin Roberts.
First match was... sigh, Zack Ryder vs Mark Henry. I had a sign that said "What Would Zack Ryder Do?" and I swear when I put it down he was looking right at me with a grin on his face. o.O Eee.
*mumbles about that light* lol. Still. WWWYKI.
*cough* ... :D
I love my camera LOL.
Mark beat him and Justin returned to announce Edge, who was hosting the Cutting Edge with Sheamus as guest!
I think he saw my sign too, because I was holding up a "Edge fears Orton" sign and as soon as I put it down, he was looking in my direction with a glare on his face XD
Edge asked if Sheamus was worried about Nexus.
Sheamus was going on his usual spiel about how he wasn't when... the GM email sounder went off. I was thinking "God we have to go through this here too?" when a guy in the row behind me pretty much said the very same thing. Haha. One of the Belas came out (with a cell phone that I didn't realize until later) and Justin read off that the GM announced the main event had changed-- now it would be John Cena vs Sheamus for the title in a ... LUMBERJACK MATCH!
Edge left (with the Bela) and Sheamus proceeded to pitch a fit before too leaving.
(I love the look on the face of the guy behind the girl XD it's like "NO BELA DON'T LEAVE WITH HIIIIIIIIIIIIIM" LOL)
Next, William Regal vs Khali.
Regal spent a few minutes begging, even took a mic and suggest he and Khali be tag partners, that they could take over the world.
He held his hand out to shake but, well, it backfired.
Khali won.
Justin announced our guest referee for the next match- SANTINO! HEY SLOW DOWN SANTINO--
Dammit.
HA CAUGHT YOU.
Eve vs Alicia Fox for the Diva's title. (Santino's dream, right? lol)
Santino enjoyed himself, Eve started spanking Alicia at one point and he did a celebratory march in the ring XD Then they did the "divas roll over the ref" thing lol. Alicia retained.
Next match was the "Raw Challenge" (Still dunno why they call them that but ok) Edge vs Evan Bourne!
During this match, Edge had Evan in the corner nearest my seat and slapped him across the chest and all this sweat/water/whatever came flying off and sprayed those of us closest in the first/second rows a bit. :O The guy behind me wondered if he ran a bottle of water over himself before coming out lol.
So Edge won when Evan went to the top one too many times-- he slammed his legs out from under him and he hit hard so Edge pinned him, then tried for a spear but Evan dodged it and hit the moonsault.
Belas came out to help Justin give away t-shirts
LOL Um Justin? Why ya holding down the side ropes when Nikki {?} is heading in from the front? Silly.
No shirts for Dah. Spent intermission tweeting a bit on @dahwfritter, about match results and chatting a bit with Bestie about her concert. Intermission only lasted 15-20 minutes, then the show resumed.
Usos vs the Hart Dynasty for the Unified tag titles. Natalya is beautiful, I knew it but in real life, it's really obvious.
It was during this match that this eight to ten year old kid a couple seats from me kept screaming DAVID DAVID DAVID and Tamina turned and gave him this death glare until he cowered away and hid behind his mom. A bunch of us in my section started laughing. He returned to shouting during the next match though -_-
Tamina tried interrupting, Natalya got her though- shortly after she handled Tamina, the Harts retained.
Then it was time for my fav match of the night- Miz vs John Morrison vs Ted DiBiase for the US title.
Lol...
Mike asks for a mic (...no pun intended) and says that he doesn't need to wrestle tonight-- he's DANGEROUS and proved it by his actions against R Truth last Monday. Anyone who steps in the ring with him will get hurt because he's the Miz and he's-- my fellow Illinoisians tries saying it with him but he cuts himself off. "No! You people don't deserve to say it! BECAUSE I'M THE MIZ AND I'M AWESOME." lol.
LOL. O.o Why you reachin' out for Dah, Mizzy?
Mm.
Miz and Ted tried working together for awhile against Johnny but the first instance Ted had his back turned, Miz tried to roll him up and it became a free for all even though Miz tried to make amends lol.
So close, I could almost touch him =/ Morrison managed to hit DiBiase with Starship Pain while Miz was recovering elsewhere but Miz snuck back in and hit Skullcrushing Finale and pinned Morrison, retained his belt.
The kid a couple seats down who Tamina death glared at started yelling "It's ok, Morrison, you still got it!" O.o
Main event time. Sheamus vs Cena for the WWE title. Soon as they both had their entrances, the GM email sound went off again. The lone Bela returned with the cell phone (I saw it this time!)
Justin read off of it that GM had declared the lumberjacks would be... NEXUS!
Cena is not impressed, haha.
Bela stands off to the side as Nexus heads down.
Wade and Heath :D ... and Otunga... =/
Whatchoo lookin' at, Wade? ;P
All eyes on Wade, lol
And Darren.
Usual lumberjack happenings-- someone gets thrown out, they get beat up, returns to the ring, match continues, then we go back to step 1.
I didn't care for this match so I began a kind of mission to try to take pictures of all seven Nexus people. Skip and Justin were on the other side of the ring, so that was a bit difficult.
Wade was simple, he stayed on the ramp for quite awhile.
Darren was the easiest. Being right in front of me and all XD
Otunga was... Otunga.
Heath ^^
Justin Gabriel was near IMPOSSIBLE to catch. Chick in front of me was blocking my view because she kept taking pictures of Cena and Gabriel kept moving behind the ref or the post whenever I did get close to catching him... finally he came to my side of the ring to aid in a beat down and I caught him XD
I ended failing at getting a solo of Tarver, though. He was at the corner and the men in front row to my side were standing up the whole time, blocked my view of him, heh. Oh well, no big loss, yeah?
WAAAAAAAAAADE.
Cena had Sheamus in STF
when Nexus stormed the ring and started beating them down. Sheamus got out of there and a ref supported him to the back (lol way to help Cena, ref).
Help was on its way though, first Evan came down- beat down continued.
Santino was next, mauled.
Then the rest of the faces arrived- John Morrison, Hart Dynasty, and lagging way behind, Mark Henry and Khali (Of course lol) and cleared the ring of Nexus.
Cena wasn't finished, however, and sent off the faces to collect the Nexus. What exactly Wade was doing lagging enough to get caught, I'm not sure (Only bad thing from my seats, you couldn't see the entrance ramp) but they grabbed him and sent him back to Cena, who had Khali chop him before FUing him.
The faces then returned and celebrated in the ring
, that was the final pic I took.
Then I went home (Mom asked me about two people she saw walking out of the civic center wearing orange shirts. lol) and ate waffles and sausages at 11 PM and stayed lazy until I conked out at 3 AM, after uploading some pics for Kazzy. Awesome evening. :D
So which wrestler do y'all wanna see from the program? Yes I am willing to take and upload more pics for you all. *masochist*
I'll be leaving this post public for a few days.
