So last night was the WWE Smackdown! Road to Wrestlmania 21 house show. I didnt actually attend the show, but I went to the back to see the wrestlers arrive. Joe and I got there at around 1:00 yesterday and were greated by Darren from Lockport, who had been there from 10 am. There was no sign of obbsessed Lita fan. So there we were outside in the freezing cold and snow, waiting for people to arrive. After a few hours of waiting, the first wrestler arrived. It was Spike Dudley. Spike came over to us (there was a decent crowd there by that time) and signed autographs and did pictures. He waited untill everyone got what they wanted. He even asked if there was anything else he could do for us. So now I appreciate Spike more than i used to.
Johnny Nitro and Joey Mattews came soon after with Melina, but went right inside. Also, Charlie Haas and Miss Jackie arrived together. Haas, the gentlemen that he is, drove Jackie to the door so she didnt have to walk in the cold and snow. Haas parked his car and then came over to us for autographs/pictures. Soon afterwords, John Cena arrived, with Funaki. Cena was wearing a short sleeve shirt, and shorts. In the snow. In 30 degree tempertures.
Next to arrive was Scotty 2 Hotty and Kurt Angle. In a shocking turn of events, Angle actually came over for autograhps and pictures. No one could believe it, because he doesnt usually do that type of thing. So we were all pleasently surprised by that. Then arrived the WWE Champion JBL and Orlando Jordon. They parked right in front of us. We started a J B L chant, and they laughed, but wouldnt sign autographs, although i got a few pics of them. Then Torrie Wilson arrived, and she gladly signed anything we wanted her to.
The last person to arrive was Rey Mysterio. He was without his mask, which was a very rare scene to say the least. We got him to sign stuff too. Then in the single greatest WWE moment ever, Joe called up Andrew on the cell phone, and gave the phone to Rey Mysterio. Yes, Andrew TALKED ON THE PHONE WITH REY MYSTERIO!!! Rey was like...."Yo Andrew, this is Rey Mysterio, its freaking cold out here!!" He said a few other words to him and gave Joe his phone back. Andrew was in disbelief. He couldn't believe what just happened. I really couldn't believe it either. It was just so awesome.
So after that I left, and let Joe go into the show. I went to see The Lion King, which was amazing. I KILLED MUFASA!!!! lol. It really was what I expected and it didn't dissapoint. I was really glad I finally got to see it. The opening made me laugh cause all I could imagine was FC on the WYD bus, and I couldnt get that picture out of my head.
When I got home, Joe called me with breaking news. HE HAD DINNER WITH PAUL LONDON AND AKIO!!!! I was just a little upset about that one. But its cool. So it was a very interesting day. I will have pictures up soon at my picture site, so stay tuned for those.
