We arrive downtown about 30 minutes before the show and park in a garage close to the arena. House a couple car bud lights because that is what Americans do before WWE events and noticed that almost all the fans walking by us are kids with their parents. I thought we were for sure going to be the oldest guys there without kids, but then in true WWE Universe fashion the old guys start walking by us dressed to kill. A lot of Wyatt family outfits sported by grown men. They looked so ridiculous I had to respect it. I didn't realize people actually liked the Wyatt family until last night. Huge cult fallowing and it really kind of scared me.
So next we enter the Sprint Center and instantly get a seat upgrade to the side the camera faces. Again, Vince just taking care of his people. Had nothing to do with the fact that no one was there and they didn't want people watching on TV to see all the empty seats. No way Vince is just the best, in your face. So we are 16 rows up a little to the left of the ring sucking down some tall Budweisers. The first match was between Santino and Brodus Clay. Two absolutely dreadful WWE superstars that no one gives a shit about besides that for some reason Santino has teamed up with this Aussie smokeshow Diva Emma.
EMMA
In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take. Accept no ones definition of your life, define your own #EMMAcrats! #EMMAlution #WWE
Sorry Emma, but you had your chance. The show rolled on and was pretty uneventful. Had a lot of the guys getting love right now like Swagger, Cesaro, Sheamus, and the Usos. RVD even made a fat appearance. Guys all fat and doesn't even care. Not really a frog splash anymore, more of a Frog Cannonball am I right? All those guys had pretty standard boring matches. I was about five 20 oz beers in so I didn't really care. I was still having a great time yelling my ass off and schooling some youngsters behind me with the depressing amount of wrestling knowledge I have.
About halfway through Smackdown Daniel Bryan came out to let everyone know that if you mess with his wife you mess with him in reference to Kane attacking his wife Monday on Raw. His entrance sparked a nice little "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant that I thoroughly enjoyed, but ended with no sign of his smoking hot wife or a Kane interruption. I was really hoping for a free preview of Daniel Bryan vs the Devil's favorite Demon but it looks like we will just have to wait for Extreme Rules on Sunday. By the way has there ever been a less anticipated pay per view? Seriously? Extreme Rules is going to suck. I mean I am going to watch it, but the thing is going to suck.
Finally towards the end of the show we got an entertaining match. A fatal four way for the United States Championship. Dean Ambrose (belt holder), Alberto Del Rio, Ryback, & Curtis Axel all squared off in from what I remember was an awesome match. Tons of sweet chin music-esque kicks to the face and Ryback body slams. Four superstarts gutting it out for over 20 minutes for a chance at the prestiougus US Championship. In the end Ryback took out his tag team partner Axel with a meat cleaver clothes line that was meant for Del Rio. Del Rio then did something that took both Ryback and himself out of the ring (don't recall what it was because I was drunk). This move allowed Ambrose to run in and steal the match. The place went nuts and for the first time ever I think I became a fan of the shield.
After the fatal four way the wyatt family came out for like the 10th time of the night and attacked Ambrose. The rest of the Shield came to his rescue and out of nowhere a referee starts a 6 man tag team match. The match was nuts. Bodies flying all over the place and finisher after finisher. Roman Reigns of the shield ended up punching the living daylights out of every member of the Wyatt family and they won the match. Extremely intense stuff to close it out. Even got a tomahawk chop going as some Chief players were shown up on the big screen.
In the end the show wasn't that great. I had an awesome time because I was just yelling my ass off and had consumed quite a bit of booze, but the show still was pretty mediocre. No stone cold, no cm punk, not even a John Cena sighting. I guess you have to expect that the show before a PPV, but I could have used some sort of surprise. Oh well. Still won't stop me from being at Monday night RAW October 20th in KC. Yeah that's right. They announced Raw will be returning to the Sprint Center in October.
