Boots to Asses

Well, last night I attended what was definitely one of the best RAWs that I have been too in a long time. A lot of that was because it was the return of The Rock, and as announced, but then taken back, but rumored to happen anyway, and it did, the return of Mick Foley. It was a really fun show, I took some pictures and videos of some of the stuff that happened, unfortunately for some reason the videos I took aren't uploading, that's kinda stupid, but whatever, couldn't really see all that much anyway. Here was the ring getting setup for the Michael Cole Challenge:

And here is the RAW stage, seats were way up the balcony, didn't get them until after the Rock and Mick Foley were announced, so they started selling pretty fast after that, so there wasn't a great selection left, and it was certainly sold out, no question of that.

As expected the Michael Cole Challenge, was pretty stupid, and well, CM Punk came out to put en end to that, here he is confronting Michael Cole:

But everyone was really here to see the returns, and Mick Foley was first, and doing a familiar segment of This Is Your Life, with John Cena:

Well, not only did Mick Foley return there, but The Rock graced us with his presence to give us a little preview of what was coming up later, and why the hell not it had been a long time since Mick Foley had gotten a Rock Bottom. Really liked the shout out to Kowloon, if you aren't familiar with the Kowloon, it's a Chinese restaurant on Route 1 in Saugus, which is a big hangout of wrestlers after the shows at the Garden. If you are ever there, check out the walls, they have tons of autographed photos of the wrestlers that have been there. There was a lot of other stuff that was going on during the special 3 hour Raw, but I'll just hit the high points for you. Now, the last time I went to a wrestling show, it was the Royal Rumble back in January at the TD Garden, so the segment involving Santino Marella and Kevin Nash, brought back some memories of that night:

Now, it should be noted, last week I went to the Bruins vs Oilers game, which featured the number 1 and 2 picks from the 2010 NHL draft, Tyler Seguin for the Bruins and Taylor Hall for the Oilers, but this week the Columbus Blue Jackets are at the Garden, and they feature Rick Nash, so I tried to get both games, so I could see Hall and Nash, but as it turned out, I did end up seeing Hall and Nash. Speaking of Hall, if you haven't seen the E:60 segment on ESPN about Scott Hall, you should definitely check it out, it's pretty sad, but very interesting, and as a followup to that, if you do watch it, Scott Hall is back in rehab.

And of course, Finally, The Rock came back to Boston:

There you have it people, this all leads to this Sunday and Survivor Series at MSG, which I will be attending, I'll try and take some move pictures and less videos, cause apparently they don't work here. It should be a good show. Obviously the Main Event will be fun, The Rock and John Cena vs The Miz and R-Truth. The Rock with be putting Boots to Asses, John Cena will probably get booed out of the building, expect for all the Lil' Jimmys, meanwhile R-Truth will be trying to shut up those lil' Jimmys and of course The Miz will be awesome.

Let me just say this, there are only 2 good things that ever came out of Ohio and 1 of them is The Miz.

Ok, well, we also got Alberto Del Rio vs CM Punk for the WWE Title, that should be a good match, hope CM Punk comes out on top, kinda feel like he didn't really get his full run with the title earlier this year, should have had it longer.

Mark Henry vs The Big Show for the World Heavyweight Title, not really sure what to expect out of this match, last match wasn't bad, but it clearly was just leading up to the big spot with the ring collapsing, so I would expect to see some sort of real ending this time around. Kinda think Mark Henry will keep the title.

A Traditional Survivor Series Match, Team Orton, with Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Sin Cara and Mason Ryan vs Team Barrett with Wade Barrett, Hunico, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and just added Dolph Ziggler, replacing the injured Christian. I'm not sure why Dolph Ziggler wasn't in this match to begin with, maybe he was actually gonna fight Zack Ryder for the US title cause Zack Ryder has an internet campaign to get a title shot, so maybe Dolph will do double duty again.

There will also be a women's match, but still that leaves a lot of time, so I would expect another match or 2 to be announced. Figure Nash and Triple H may do something, maybe Mick Foley will be there as well to do something. Figure there will probably be some surprises, it is at MSG after all.

Ok, that is all for tonight, got Foo Fighters tomorrow, be back with my review of that, who btw are on Letterman tonight, performing with Joan Jett, who showed up at their show in MSG a couple night ago, check it out:

Doubt she will be there tomorrow, but you never know.
