Raw was pretty sweet last night. A lot better than when I went in Green Bay last June. We had some of the best seats in the house and were on TV pretty much the whole night. Dead center, 5th row. We had some really awesome people sitting next to us. Two older guys who were smart about the product but you could tell they didn't spend their lives on it, and a father and son who followed ROH religiously. The kid started a "Matt Sydal" chant during Bourne's match. Made my night. It's painfully obvious that no one has a real reason to hate Cena anymore except for the fact that all the older guys boo him because that's the "in" thing to do. I'm pretty sure the entire IWC was sitting in my section. I got my "Fattest Man on the Planet" sign taken away right before they did the 10 minute precut for NCIS or whatever. I was pretty upset about that seeing as Tyson ended up being a heel for the majority of the show. Oh well. Once we got to the Target Center we parked up on top of the ramp so we could see Target Field a little better which is just unreal. Suitable for a WrestleMania if it had a roof or if it wasn't balls cold in Minneapolis during March/April. But anyways, we wanted to get down to a lower level so we drive down to level 2 and it was blocked off, so we get exited out into rush hour traffic in downtown Minneapolis which absolutely sucked. We spent about an hour in traffic and got into the Target Center about 5 minutes before opening the doors so it was all good. We were too tired to go chill at the hotel and wait for any wrestlers to walk by and we had to drive back to Superior at 7:30 this morning so I could get to class so we just went back to my buddies frat house and called it a night. Here's some pics from the night:   Never got to see national TV but this got a great reaction from everyone outside the arena haha  Bobby's sign  Me and Bobby  Our view of the tron  How close we were to the ring  Kofi trying to cut a promo  Everyone loved him last night. TONS of MIZ IS AWESOM chants. This kid has a lot of potential  Right behind and slightly above Target Field  Overall had a good time. Now I just can't wait for Bragging Rights in October |

I saw the POTATO sign, then I was thinking, did he mean "potato" as in stiff punch, right?

Yeah lol. I didn't get the potato sign at first either. Had to have Bobby explain. It's in reference to the potato famine in Ireland back in the 17th and 18th centuries. A bunch of Irish people died. He didn't explain this to me until we were at the Target Center and I immediately thought he'd get it taken away because it's really offensive, but nah.
I googled "Sheamus, eat a potato" and theres a lot of pissed off people on various forums. Theres a full page of links..
I'm sorry if that offends anyone here, for real.
I forgot to make my Random Hero Fail sign. I had it planned too.. Damnit.
@buckdenero, it was incredible. I can't imagine how awesome that show must have been. But I have sat front row at Judgment Day 05 at the Target Center and these seats are just second to those as far as awesomeness goes. If anyone here ever gets the chance to sit in the first 2 rows of the elevated section on the TV side, do it. Get the tickets, it's very worth it.
Thanks for all the replies guys. Glad no one has been offended yet, and got some laughs out of it. I had a blast!

Pretty nice quality pics man! Did you happen to get anymore?
And <3 @ the Sydal chant. He should really be moved to SmackDown. I'd kill to see Morrison/Bourne again, Bourne/Ziggler, a new match against Punk... I'd be stoked to see him get the I.C. Title.
Edit: Here's a quick question maybe someone can answer for me. Bourne is advertised for a house show in Lubbock, TX - February 27th, which is fairly close to me.
Do the stars ever do signings during intermission, or anything? I'd love to get an 8x10, or his Mattel figure signed. I'm not 100% sure if I'll go, but that would give me a HUGE incentive to.
I've checked the "Appearance" section on WWE.com, and no signings are posted for Lubbock.
*sadface*

I'm Irish. Yeah I saw the 'Sheamus, Eat a Potato' sign on Monday. I looked at it, laughed quietly and jokingly said 'What an ar5ehole'. Nothing serious.. haha. Just curious, was that sign a joke or does your mate genuinely dislike Sheamus? Hope you had a good time mate, was a good show and your signs were quite good. Shame about the Tyson one getting confiscated  . |

@irish Thanks man lol. Yeah, no offense at all towards Irish people, he literally just came up with the idea for the sign the night before. It wasn't meant to be serious and I had a great time |

Nice pics, guy.
A couple buddies of mine came down from Canada for this show, and judging from where you took the pics, they were sitting a couple rows over from you.. They also got me a Bret Hart t-shirt from the show, so that's wicked!
