Road to Wrestlemania Went Through Ontario, California

So last night (after seeing the first 3 movies during AMC's Best Picture Showcase, Day 2) my brother and I walked across the street (took about 20 minutes each way) and saw WWE's Raw House Show. We were unable to find a third person to go, but we didn't complain. The event was my second WWE event I've attended this year. I would have liked to of gone to the house show on Friday night at the Staples Center, and the event earlier in the month down in San Diego, but that wasn't an option (unfortunately).

The House Show's recently underwent a makeover, and they feel more like an actual liv. e event or (tv taping). The matches we got, and as always the crowd was hot (meaning into it with chants and what not). First match of the night was Brodus Clay vs. David Otunga. Brodus Clay won. His entrance theme is highly entertaining (I have it via itunes). The Divas championship match got a good reaction (can't go wrong with the Bella Twins, or Beth Phoenix for that matter). Speaking of Divas, Rosa Mendes (valet for the tag team champions) also got a good reaction from the fans, and by fans I'm referring to the men in attendance. Yet another diva got a good reaction, until she started talking. That diva was Eve Torres. Y2J vs. Kofi was a good and entertaining match. Y2J is the nickname for Chris Jericho. Jericho's theme=Great.

Other matches that went over well were The Miz vs. R-Truth. R-Truth picked up the win, in what was perhaps a possible Wrestlemania match. The main event was a triple threat title match. The champion (and still champion) CM Punk took on Kane and Dolph Ziggler. Match was hilarious, and definitely entertaining. Probably the highlight (outside of CM Punk hitting his finisher on Ziggler) was Ziggler backing up into Kane, reaching up, tapping Kane softly on the head, then tip-toeing and offering a hand shake, and Kane responding with an uppercut thrust to the neck of Ziggler.

All in all, the arena was pretty packed. Definitely much more than the last time the WWE was out here (which was in 2009), and definitely no comparison to the time when TNA (Impact Wrestling) was out here years ago.
