No LI, not cool bros

So the show is tonight and if anyone is interested in watching that doesn't live where the airing the show, you can watch a live IPPV at 7 on highspots.com

$20 which seems a bit steep.

Hearing great things so far

Really ? I watch the whole show and baring Steve Caorino/Matt Hardy promos and the Sabu .Vs Facade match the show was pretty bad.This show really showed that the older ECW guys need to go.Their really only a few true ECW guys that are worth anything now days that can still go at a decent level i.e RVD,Sabu,Richards,Dreamer,Rhino(looking worse each time I watch him)and obviously Bully Ray in TNA.Other wise all of the ECW guys can't deliever any more and really need to be out of the ring.A guy like Steve Corino is still useful but more in terms of announcing or being a manger.

I just got back from the show it was an amazing time. I bought the GA tickets last Christmas eve and had to pick them up at the arena on the day of the event at 2 pm and the show started at 7. I didn't want to go home after pick up the tixs so I did the fan fest and first met Stevie Richards. I didn't get an autograph or pic I just went up to him shook his hand and wished him good luck we also talked about Madden since he always tweets about it. After Stevie I saw Balls Mahoney and did the same thing since I didn't want to dish out 20 bucks for a pic and autograph and there was no one in line I just went up shook his hand and greeted him.

Then after that I saw Reby Sky (Matt Hardy's wife) setting up Matt's table for his booth and I saw her and said hi and asked if Matt will be there and she said yea he'll be here in 5 minutes he is just running late like always LOL then I told her I was getting a ring worn shirt signed that I bought off shopmatthardy.com then she said asked which one and I said the Stronger than death one and she said "Oh you mean the cut off one that I wore against Jerry Lynn" and I said yea.

So after walking around for about 10 minutes I saw that Matt hardy was here now and I walked over and Reby said hey again and I asked about the pricing of the 8x10s and if I have to pay extra if I have two items that I brought and he said "I think so" (not in sarcastic way) then he asked what I had to get signed and showed him my 2 pack with Jeff that Jeff already signed and he said he'll sign it then he said "what else do you have" and Reby Sky answered for me lol she "said he has the ring worn shirt that you wore against Jerry Lynn he bought it of Shop Matt Hardy, so he should be able to get that signed for free" and he agreed with her. I felt so special lmao. I told him how much I praise him and Jeff and how there both my favorites of all time (Well Matt's my fourth favorite it goes Jeff Punk Edge then Matt lol) Every other wrestler was charging 10 bucks or more for a photo opp but I asked Matt if I could get a picture with him and he said sure. Reby took it for us and in the 1st pic were doing the V1 pose and then when I was about to leave he pulled me back and said "ACTION SHOT!!" and put me in a headlock!!!!!!!! I was marking out on the inside, then I said "good luck out there you better beat Luke Hawx's ass all over South Philly. It was an honor to meet you" then he said "Thanks I will, this is place is small so make sure you scream so I can hear you." I said "Oh I will" then before I left he extended his hand I shook it and he said "Thanks for being one of my people"

That story was awesome for me since Matt is like I said my top 4 favorites of all time and one of the main reasons I went.

Now for the actual show, it was FANTASTIC IMO. Blue meanie opening the show was decent, Rich Ortiz vs Homocide was great and the crowd hilarious with the chants they were saying to Ortiz. Some more matches that stood out the most to me was Greek god and Hijo, Rhino and Devon Storm, Balls and 2 Tuff. At intermission I saw Greek God and complimented him on the match I said "That was a great match, it wasn't the most violent or extreme but it had a great mix of Technical and high flying" we talked for like a min or 2 about the match. If you can find that match anywhere i'd recommend checking it out. It was fantastic!! Sabu's match was great so was Matt Hardy and Luke Hawx. The crowd was insane for Sabu and were booing Matt and Reby out of the building with chants like "Rebys got herpys" "Fatt Hardy" "we want edge" "you ed Lita" "use a treadmil" ETC. some of the stuff went beyond Wrestling and was disrespectful though.

Only really big disappointment was Richards opponent being Steve Corino.

Also the arena was in pretty good shape expect for the people smoking cigarettes.

Fun night!
