Hello wrestling fans, my
WWE Survivor Series weekend started Friday morning at Madison Square Garden. I attempted
to meet CM Punk. When I got there, the first 150 people were already there
since about 3 a.m. I still stuck around to see CM Punk, try to win prizes, and
get a chance to play the new WWE 12 video game. Well I didn’t get a chance to
play the game, but I did win a Survivor Series T-shirt for answering a WWE
trivia question on stage with Jimmy Hart. I also got to see CM Punk and hear
the Q & A they had. Honestly the questions they picked weren’t even about
wrestling and were ridiculous. I must admit, CM Punk doesn’t seem like a cool
or approachable guy, but I didn’t meet him so I’m not really sure. I would like
to congratulation him for winning the WWE Championship Title on Sunday.
Saturday began right
across the street from MSG at Kmart. My brother and I went to meet Zack Ryder
and the Bella Twins. Waiting on line, we all got to meet referee Charles
Robinson aka "Little Naitch" in WCW with the Four Horsemen. It was
fun waiting on line trying to figure out how to tell the difference between
Brie and Nikki Bella but one thing we all knew was that they are even more
gorgeous in person than on TV. This weekend, I became an official member of the
Zack Pack. (Editors’ Note: You became one cause of me, WOO WOO WOO, YOU KNOW
IT) The Long Island Iced Z is doing his thing and growing a huge fan base.
Throughout the whole match between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler, the whole
arena kept yelling "WE WANT RYDER!!" Why hasn’t he gotten his U.S.
title chance? Are you serious bro? Anyways, meeting Ryder and the Bella Twins
was great and Ryder even had his Internet Championship right on the table. They
were all nice and you could tell Ryder was having a blast being in his
hometown, interacting with his fans.
Sunday morning we began
with a trip to Garden City, NY's Roosevelt Field Mall to see The Miz and Eve
Torres. One word, AWESOME!!! The Miz is a great guy, not only did he sign the
photo I had, he even signed my belt. Eve is unbelievably gorgeous in person and
super nice. With the exception of the "mall cops" thinking they're
real cops, it was still a great signing. I would definitely go again.
The energy inside MSG
before the show was incredible. Broski headbands were already sold out, but I
managed to get one pair, once we got inside the arena. The atmosphere inside
the arena is nothing like watching it at home. The NYC crowd just could not
help show their NYC attitude by mostly rooting for the heels. A perfect example
was when Sin Cara was on the floor with an injury; we can’t help but yell out
"YOU FUCKED UP!!" It was awesome. The biggest boo's of the night were
definitely John Cena, Mason Ryan, and shockingly John Morrison. The biggest pop
of the night is a tie between The Rock and Zack Ryder. Second to them were CM
Punk and Cody Rhodes, then other tough guys like Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Dolph
Ziggler, Miz, Truth, etc. I must admit, I give Survivor Series a, 7 out of 10.
I didn’t like that the U.S. title match didn’t turn into a triple threat match,
giving Ryder his shot, and that Daniel Bryan didn’t cash in his Money in the
Bank contract after the match between Big Show and Mark Henry. I hated the
ending with Cena and Rock winning but it goes with the storyline, since the
Awesome Truth split up last night on Raw. Overall, the show was awesome and I
can’t wait to go back. This weekend was exhausting for me, but it was well
worth it.
