Hey guys, just got in from the Super-show at the Izod Center. All I can say is WOW, this was my first ever show and it was unreal!! First off, our seats were fantastic. We were about 10 rows back from the ring and the view was awesome! The crowd was HOT and never silent. Here's what happened from top to bottom.
Tony Chimel welcomes us and says to stand for the National Anthem. So we all do and yeah.
Evan Bourne and Sheamus kick off the show in a fantastic match. Sheamus pretty much controlled the first few minutes. Bourne eventually got the upper hand and hit a few moves then hit the SSP which was epic to see live!! Great opener.
Next they introduce Kelly Kelly as the host. Bellas interrupt and down comes Beth for the save. GM chimes in which was funny as hell. Chimel announces a match for the title. Brie wins in a decent match.
Next up we get Barret vs. Zeke for the IC title. Pretty average match. Highlighted by Zeke doing 4 slams, the crowd going nuts screaming "one more time" which leads into a 5th! Awesome. Barret wins with a quick roll-up in the corner. Good match.
Christian got a huge pop... until he cut a quick promo and bashed NJ. lol. He announces how Orton won't be there cause of the concussion and how he "injured" him. Bryan comes out and these two guys put on a FIVE STAR match. There was high drama, awesome spots and just an all around very well paced match. Christian picks up the win via Kill-switch.
Del Rio came out to HUGE heel heat. He cut a quick promo and Show interrupted him. The kids were going nuts booing the Del Rio!! lol awesome to see how big of a reaction he got. Big Show squashed him in about 4 or 5 minutes. Not bad. Seeing Show live was crazy. Dude is huge.
Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes was the final match before intermission. Cara is awesome in person. Pretty good match with some good spots. Good stuff.
Intermission.
Next up Nexus vs. Santino and Kozlov. A pretty fun match all around. Crowd went NUTS for Santino which was cool. He got the most chants. Nexus wins via the distractions outside the ring.
US title match Ziggler vs. Kofi was fantastic. Both these guys knew how to really work the crowd. All around awesome match which saw Kofi win via SOS. There were times we all thought Ziggler had it won.
Main Event:
Miz comes out. Cuts a promo about NJ and all that lol. Crowd goes crazyyyy with the "WHAT" chants. He bashes us and says thats so 2001. So, he says since you're all so stupid, let's talk realllllllllllllll slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Awesome promo. Riler interrupts and knocks out Miz. Making this a Triple Threat match. Cena vs. Punk vs. Truth. Highlight was definitely seeing Punk and Cena go face to face in the ring. Truth was being a jerk running around ringside. lol funny stuff. But all around a decent match. Nothing great, but for a main event they did what they could do. I gotta say, being there in the middle of the "LET'S GO CENA" ---- "CENA SUCKS" chants was unreal. The crowd was soooo good.
So that was it. All around a 3-hr show. Well worth it and for my first show I had a blast. I picked up Big Show's DVD with a signed small promo of his. All for $10. Fantastic deal. No Ryder shirts or good Mattel figures around. Oh well. Still a wonderful night.
