Firstly, most of you know I went up to Raw with DanHBK. It's been a funny and long journey, I only know him through this forum in the first place, and since he also posted on here back in 2004 that he was in the same block as me for the Manchester Raw Show, we've since worked our way up the Ladder and gone to a few shows together, and had a day out or two. Was the Benoit Eddie Mania XX for us, going front row to Raw.
Anyway, I would post the pictures but it would mean resizing them all. I put the best 50 odd on my facebook so they're all on there if you fancy a good bash.
I got up to London about half 3ish, got the tube with Dan to the hotel, freshened up and went straight to the Arena where we were greeted by some lovely young ladies with angel wings who took us in the VIP O2 Lounge which was a bit busy but still a good way to start getting on it. Stella was the only beer on tap too not sure what that was all about? Next thing I know we're sitting there having a drink, look up and there's Hexus sitting right next to us. Was hilarious to us, was up there with the Gazza comming on screen moment in Sheffield. We didn't say much to him because we wern't sure if he would be able to hear us, gave him a good firm handshake though lol.
Anyway went to our Seats next, unreal stuff. First time front row. That auburn girl I think her name is, from here sat next to me too. Small world. The Show was a well good Raw I thought, could have watched that on Tele and thought it was a good Raw. Atmosphere was alright too, especially during the Jericho Cena Match. Got a great Card in the end, and was suprised to get Rey and Edge there too, let alone in action twice each. Got the Santino Shirt before hand too.
Only problem with sitting front row, is that for future shows I never want to be any further back than the first 3 rows now. I mean I've been 13 times to see WWE in England now, Dan's been 16, and we've never got closer than like 4th/7th row for the Tapings, so the chances of getting these Seats on a regular Ticket Site, and facing the Cameras were unbelieveable, and will probably never happen again.
Loved every minute of it though, was a great night.

Sounds pretty pimp to me.
Was a better than average Raw, Cena/Jericho was very good.

Yeah they ruined that Match, but I didn't mind purely because I didn't think Edge would be there. Triple H V Orton wern't half bad either.
Other downside is that the O2 shut there bars at about what, 12? Gave us time for about 2 more drinks and that was it.

Ha!! Yeah, I wasn't notice it was you until I saw Dan and think "I sure I seen him somewhere".
At RAW, lots of people asked me about my IC title, such as how much, can I hold it, can I take pic of it, etc! Which was cool.
RAW wasn't too bad. but SmackDown just AMAZING! Love Jack Swagger and Christian segment at ECW.
Spoiler....
Big Show vs Undertaker was alright, main evenmt was cool. Batista spear Cody Rhodes off from 2nd rope was awesome! I can see Kane and Punk now in the feuding.
Steel cage, meh! That was awesome match but the cage wasn't look like proper fixed lol. Goibng post pictures tomorrow night, as am use hotel internet, because Im bored. O2 Arena pub closed 12. :-( lol
Going home tomorrow morning, then meet Mark Henry and Gail Kim. Ans then off to NEC for houseshow. Can't wait! I miss Birmingham :-(

Can't believe you still got the Steel Cage on Smackdown. The Raw House Show tonight must have been so bad.

deffo! Myself and mate was planning off to nightclub after RAW but realise there was VERY limited nightclub in Greenwich, which was pretty suck. So today, me and mate went to London and have an tour of London. Lots of walk, tho. leave hotel around 10am and didnt back until 4 for fresher up and off to the O2. Steel Cage match was cool, we expect Triple H win, so he did, obvious! Steel Cage seem VERY VERY VERY sloppy, wasn't fixed properly. I think because they was rush, as when they swap ropes for smackdown from ECW, taken was taken age. Around 20 minutes or so. I going to post picture of steel cage tomorrow. Met MVP today, as he walk down to cafe to buy coffee or something lol. He seem awesome guy. VIP at O2... Was that joke? Drink was EXPENSIVE! £4 for one drink, Stella. But typical for arena eh? I spend about £13 for two drinks (Two Stella and two shots) Also beer at the show, £4 for one beer in plastic cup. I also meet some of Power Trip Wrestling's wrestlers after RAW show yesterday, we all off to pub and having couples of the drinks lol. DanHBK. How did the hell u get front row tickets? :-( lol. I wanna one for next show at Sheffields. If any chance your able get it or? We can chat it by facebook tomorrow night or so? Adam (Marvel) I taken picture of Gail Kim today at SmackDown, the screen was shows her as work out, she was sort of in half naked. That made me laugh as Gazza tell u to print out naked Kim Gail to give ehr to signing out tomorrow lol. What time you going to be in town tomorrow? I best off to room now and watching TV and drinks beers  lol, got early tomorrow to get the train to travel all way back to Birmingham. I will go home first to leave suitcase and get fresher up then off to Town to meet Henry and Kim, then straight to NEC. Night for now, fellas! |

The John Cena V Chris Jericho Match would have been a Classic if it went all the way. Don't know why they didn't just have Edge come out after. Went for almost half an hour and both men kicked out of all the finishers.

Went for almost half an hour and both men kicked out of all the finishers. I thought the same. Was a really decent match, made so much better by the crowd. Musta been cool to be there! Just gonna go play back some Raw now, to see if I can see you guys  forgot you were both front row. Glad to hear you had a good time. |

Was a great show. I was 2nd row on the first tier. Everyone around me was booing Cena which was awesome. The match itself was fantastic and I was getting really into it but the ending sucked. Edge should have done that after the match. Orton winning was great too.

I wish i could have gone to London, i've only been to one show at Newcastle in November, where Punk almost broke his neck on the barrier after diving through the 2nd rope over Manu head first into the barricade, hard to see because of standing up fans next to it though, i was at the front so saw it all.
