2/8/14 Wayne and I went to a WWE "House Show". Here's the run down as we saw it:
A: The Shield came out from the far side of the arena through the crowd like you see on TV. I was instructed to inhale as much of Roman Reigns’ air as possible and nearly passed out. (<-you owe me for that one Brit) They start talking some random smack about who knows what while flexing glistening biceps.
W: Now, what you should know is that the venue is a bit…antiquated, and the PA system is slightly…well, worn the fuck out. There was a terrible echo and it was next to impossible to ascertain what was being said. Through quite a bit of Herculean auditory effort, however, I managed to ascertain at least some of what was said. It seems that the Hounds of Justice wished to inform the good people of San Diego that CM Punk was not in the building. Furthermore, CM Punk is not even employed by the company anymore. They went on to say that those were damn good facts for CM Punk’s sake, because if he had been there, he would have gotten a good ole stomping from them for his audacity. They concluded their rant by informing everyone of their intentions to stay in the ring all night, in order to prove their ability to remain in one place together at the same time. Or something. As I said, it was incredibly difficult to figure out what was being said. Basically, they wanted to loiter in the ring because they said that there was no one who could make them leave. Cue...someone who wanted to make them leave!
A: Ghost white Sheamus comes out with two other dudes to scare them out of the ring for some random reason, but it was very exciting. But then they leave so idk what the point was.
W: The Celtic Tampon was completely and absolutely incoherent due to the PA system flaws that I described earlier, combined with his phony-sounding accent. He said some sayings, and then charged. Unsurprisingly, he got stomped on like his name was CM Punk. This resulted in him being rescued by Christian and Kofi Kingston. For some bizarre reason, that combination was enough to make the Shield break their promise to loiter in the ring all night, and they kicked rocks.
Damien Sandow vs. Dolph Ziggler:
A: Hastings comes out and into the ring. He says a few hardly audible things before some Tickler guy comes out. The crowd went nuts for that blonde guy. Dark vs Light, ok, incredibly cliché, but whatever. Hastings tosses him around the ring for bit, then gets robbed.
W: He did indeed get robbed! I booed the result mightily, as I am (kayfabe) a huge mark for Donovan Hastings. Interesting side note: Dolph Ziggler wore a Brock Lesnar t-shirt to the ring, for reasons I am still confused about. Naturally, the wrestling god known as Hastings took offense to this, and literally ripped the shirt off his back to fling it into the crowd.
3MB vs. El Matadors & El Torito:
A: Really?! Air guitar, pelvic thrusts and plether pants. 90’s much? At least the guy in the turban had a gimmick. A lot of Ole`s from the matadors taunting the big hair band guys. Crowd ate that shit up!! They def owned the ring and the audience. Watching the little bull guy walk across the top rope almost to the other side before jumping on the turban guy was thrilling.
W: A classic lucha libre three-man (well, two and a half men) team with a fun gimmick, they had the crowd pretty well warmed up. Good match, lots of fun spots.
