I can remember, every saturday growing up was the greatest day. You had saturday morning cartoons and then afterwards I had atleast two different types of wrestling on TV to watch. Then every saturday night there was wrestling at the Nashville Fairgrounds in Nashville, TN. The promotion from memphis traveled there each week and we seen stars such as Jerry "The King" Lawler, "Superstar" Bill Dundee, "Dirty" Dutch Mantell, The Fabulous Ones, The Rock n Roll Express and so many more year after year. Wrestling at the fairgrounds was some of the greatest fun you could have as a kid growing up as a wrestling fan.
Now fast forward 30-35 years into the future for me and WWE is still putting out quality house shows. The wrestling that I grew up in has long been gone which is a story for another day, but WWE still maintains a huge fan base and weekly house shows bring the most fun of all the WWE's products. It has a more fun feeling atmosphere to it and the wrestlers don't seem so nervous as they can be on Raw or Smackdown tv tapings. Now it has been a while for me since I live in an area now where WWE doen not make stops and appearances, but there are quite a few people out there each week going to the shows and enjoying them completely.
Enter Twitter follower Hannah on my BTC Twitter account. She recently attended the RAW house show in Spokane,Washington. She got to see superstars such as Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Ricochet, Sammy Zayn & a great tag match featuring my favorite WWE tag team of The Revival, The Uso's, The Good Brother's and Hawkins/Ryder. I'd like to include a few pictures she sent me and a rundown of the show from her perspective so please take a moment and check out her experience.
I went to a RAW house show in Spokane Washington we had second row seats right by the stairs. The arena was pretty full.
The crowd loved ricochet. He was FANTASTIC in person! He did some amazing moves. I love how good of chemistry him and Joe have! Joe won Second match was MoJo vs Heath slater.
No one stood up for mojo. He didn't really get any reaction from the fans until the end. He was really good with working the crowd but people weren't into it. Heath did a great promo about his kids. Pretty boring match. Nothing really happened. Heath won.
Third match The usos vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder vs The good brother's vs The revival for the tag team championship. This was the best match of the night for me. Everyone did so well. It was so funny at times. Even the ref was involved. The crowd loved the usos. I honestly didn't want this match to end. The revival won.
Sami Zayn came out the crowd was booing so loud except for me! . Talking about how much Spokane sucks and how they are only a couple hours away from the greatest country Canada. Braun came out to attack Sami but Cesaro came out to help Sami
Fourth match Braun vs Cesaro with Sami ringside. This was a good match. Lots of back and fourth. Sami was a great heel. Braun pinned Cesaro and ended up doing a finisher on Sami.
Fifth match . No way Jose , Naomi and Dana Brook vs EC3, Sarah Logan and Tamina. Very boring match. Not really any crowd reaction. Dana was definitely the best part. The crowd did get behind ec3. Naomi pinned Sarah
Sixth match Lacy Evans vs Becky Lynch for the woman's championship. This was an ok match. Lacy did better than I expected. Was pretty short. Becky won. She did touch my hand!!! She went around the ring and signed autograph and took pictures.
Seventh match Seth vs Baron for the universal championship. I couldn't hear after Seth came out. The crowd was so loud! This was a good match Baron did very good! I ended up cheering for him at the end! He was very funny and he is a very good heel. Seth won.
This was one of the best events I've ever been to!
Now with the arrival of AEW, MLW staring to make a little name for itself and we still have impact & Ring of Honor, having great quality house shows to enjoy are in abundance.
