Monday Night Raw in Raleigh, NC has come and gone and we are still awed by the wrestling live and ashamed of the fake ZZ Top. Going to Raw this past Monday fulfilled a teenage dream of mine, only it proved to be so much more. Let me give you a recap of our night at Rawleigh:
No one could understand why we wanted to go:
Tom Morgan is going to WWE’s Monday Night Raw tonight. Yes, for real.
Mon at 6:53pm
6:45- Depart Chapel Hill destine for Raw
6:50- Stop at nearest gas station and buy every single 40 they had
7:20- Arrive at Stadium and begin Edward 40 hands. First Mullet Sighting
8:00- Finish 40’s and patroled area
8:15- Enter the stadium to see the preliminary matches.
Entering the stadium was a rush, no event matches the passion that fans have for Raw. Whether you are there to observe the hilarity of the crowd and the wrestling or you are a huge fan, you cannot help but get caught in the intensity of the matches.
The matches were amazing and included most of our favorites including John Cena, Triple H, and Kofi Kingston.
Raw was easily the most exciting and fun sporting(maybe) event i have been to in my life. Much more fun then Sunday at the Masters, Sunday at the US Open, and a Duke Carolina game. So for all the haters out there Shut Up.
There were two problems with Raw. First being the host ZZ Top. For the first 2/3 of Raw they remained backstage and only had videos of themselves talking and fake playing the guitar. Yes they were not even really playing. And then right before the Main Event, WWE decides to drive a ZZ Top car out and show off two guys sporting large ZZ Top-esque beards but they suspiciously never go to the stage nor do they show a close-up of them on the screen. My opinion is that they were not actually in Raleigh but instead had recorded their clips earlier and never came to the stadium. I felt screwed by the WWE. My second issue is not with the WWE but instead the price of beer at the stadium. $7 for a 16oz beer, seriously, i still bought three couldn’t resist.
Raw was awesome but much less trashy than expect. yeah i know im sorry, i only saw two mullets. All in all i recommend Raw to anyone who does not have a stick shoved way up there asses and an relax and enjoy the greatest fake sporting event around, sorry Smackdown
