I apologise if my first entry is long, but its a great story and i had a blast!
Anyway back to the story. 18th of april 2011 is the day! I really didnt get much sleep on sunday as i am like a little kid at chrismas time. i was just two excited. in a way its like WRESTLEMANIA for us in the uk as they only come over twice a year. me and my twin brother anthony set off for london at about half past 2, we had to get the train, because as fellow uk citizens know, driving into london is a complete nightmare! its not bad though as it is quicker and it only takes 29 minutes to get their from where we live.... so we get to the station on time and lo and behold we have to stop and get money out -_-... this made us late and we had to get the slow train into kings cross LOL.
as soon as we got on the train, i have my iphone 4 out in true youtuber fashion, filming some videos on my journey there. some real funny moments.
we get to kings cross at about 20 minutes to 4, and meet up with 2 of my subscribers hassan and tom. stupid kings cross changed the layout of the station though and we got lost finding each other ^^.
after half hour on a hot sweaty train we arrive at north greenwich, home of the o2 arena! :D
it was a REALLY nice day so we spent a good two hours outside mingling and talking with one another. there was around 15 of us in total. all of whom i knew from youtube or facebook.
after being stopped by security TWICE, we then went into a bar for a couple of drinks, and a nandos after! any american readers, you have to try nandos! funny thing is that when we were walking around 90% of us had replica belts on us. so naturally we drew a lot and i mean a lot of attention. we stopped and asked for photos numerous times.
nandos was great as usual. we had a great time talking wrestling and getting to know each other, "bare jokes" were shared among us, and i couldnt of been happier if im honest.
at half 7 we said our goodbyes and went into the arena....
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…”
the video package rolls and the fireworks go off! this never gets old, especially live.
here is a quick run down of the matches
John Morrison defeated R-Truth to take his spot in the triple threat at extreme rules. (should of been in anyway). After the match, Truth attacked Morrison. It should also be noted that Truth grabbed a cigarette from a fan and started smoking it. an epic 'thats illegal chant starts" and a Long beatdown... BIG R-Truth heel turn.
Dolph Ziggler (w/ Vickie Guerrero) defeated Evan Bourne. Vickie with BIG heat. i love this woman. she is really good at her job. Ziggler had changed his blonde hair to brown also.
They aired a tribute to Edge video package, and believe me, this is more emotional live in person at the event than watching at home.
The Miz came out for a promo. He talked about John Morrison replacing R-Truth in the Extreme Rules triple threat match. Miz announced that the match will take place inside a steel cage. During the promo, Miz sat in a chair and started running down London and the UK fans. Sin Cara came out and interrupted. John Cena came out as well. The RAW GM rang in and booked John Cena and Sin Cara vs. The Miz and Alex Riley for tonight.
Sin Cara and John Cena defeated The Miz and Alex Riley.
cara looks really nervous and botched a ton of moves with some being pretty basic. to say he hasnt impressed me would be lying, but he is overhyped for what he is in my opinion.
Eve Torres defeated Nikki Bella. - really quick match.
Michael Cole is knighted in an in-ring segment and then he demands that Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross both kiss his feet. i found this hilarious. the fake queen was class.
Michael Cole returned to the Cole Mine and joined Josh Mathews. JR is gone at this point.
Sheamus defeated Santino Marella.
CM Punk vs Randy Orton in the main event. Orton won with an RKO to end RAW.
the nexus rushed the ring and assaulted orton. this led to the annoying fucker sitting behind me to start bashing punk calling him a "pussy". annoying to say the least.
The dark match main event had Randy Orton and John Cena defeating Miz and CM Punk to send the crowd home happy.
overall great event! i loved it and it never gets old when your there live.
just being with friends and good company made this even better. i would like to thank all the people that made it great - nathan, safraz, tom, tom close xD, joe, anthony, craig, zakk, owen, sam, hassan.
take a look at the photos and the video :D.
