I was at Raw last night, and here are a few observations:
- Lillian Garcia is gorgeous and has an amazing voice. (sang the national anthem)
- Val Venis still gets a huge pop. (Dark Match)
- So does Hacksaw Jim Duggan
- The majority of people don't like John Cena. I think he has canned cheers, because after the first few seconds of the intro, booing was rampant.
- When Kane comes out, it's freaking scary. I would have crapped my pants if I were ringside.
- When Edge said "Dc is the home of the Washington Redskins..." about 80% of the crowd boo'ed their own team.
- Vince McMahon really sells his part well. I'm not sure if this was on TV, but when he came out for the signing, he slipped and almost fell off the apron of the ring, then threw a tantrum and kicked the ropes and told people to shut up. It was actually really cool to be able to see Vince, I'm not sure why, but it just was.
-After Raw ended, John Cena had a match against Umaga. I'm not sure what the purpose of this was, but Cena had Umaga in a submission hold when Umaga's manager broke up the hold, thus ending in a DQ. Maybe it was to alleviate the traffic?
