Look For Me On WWE Monday Night Raw Tonight!

In a non-Dukes related note, I'm heading to the Consol Energy Center tonight for Monday Night Raw!  

Me and Chad went to the Royal Rumble last year and when it comes to wrestling seats, we are spoiled.


We are sitting second row again.  Pretty close to our seats last year, I think.  One section over.  We should be screen left behind the announce table this time.  Tune in on USA Network tonight and see if you can spot us.  I'll be in my yellow Hulkamania shirt (of course) and Chad will probably have a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt on.  And we'll have our championship belts with us for sure.


 Here's hoping fellow WWE fan Ben Roethlisberger will be there, sitting next to me, and we end up on television together...again.  One can hope.


And every time I go to WWE I hope Hulk Hogan is there.  With Wrestlemania only three weeks away, if he is gonna fight, he needs to get a feud starting quick.  Some predictions for tonight; Undertaker shows up to accept Bray's challenge.  Sting will be there.  And I hope Hogan comes out to tell Curtis Axel to stop ripping him off and that leads to them fighting at 'Mania.  I think they could make a good fight out of it.  I'll post pics on here from the event.

I Went To The WWE Royal Rumble - And Hung Out With Ben Roethlisberger


I attended the 2014 WWE Royal Rumble last night at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA.  When the Rumble comes to your town, you don't miss it.  And you get great seats.  I was fortunate enough to get second row.  Sitting a few seats away from me was Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger!  When I noticed the cameras were gonna roll to him, I jumped in the shot.  The gif above is great.  It was on WWE PPV and was all over the internet.  I had a great seat to be seen pretty often during the show.  I haven't seen the broadcast yet, but I look forward to it.

The show was amazing.  I've been to a Pay Per View before, and a few RAWs, but never this close.  I got some great pictures.


Me and Chad brought the gold.  If you have Championship Title Belts, they have to go to the event with you.


Even though Hulk Hogan wasn't a part of the show, I had to wear the Red and Yellow.  There were a lot of old school fans like me wearing Hogan gear as well as Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret Hitman Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and even the Godfather shirts.


Our seats were great.


We even got to take home the chairs.  


Ben was kind enough to take a picture with me.  He seemed like he had a really fun time at the event.


The place was packed.




I love seeing the old school guys like the New Age Outlaws and Goldust.  


 I just don't get the devotion the fans have to Daniel Bryan.  Some of the people in the crowd were upset he wasn't a part of every match.


Brock Lesnar destroyed the Big Show with several chairs.  I was right along the rail for this match.  I'm sure I was on camera a lot.


I couldn't get a great picture of fellow Dukes of Hazzard fan and close friend of Ben Jones, Jerry the King Lawler.


 But here is a picture of me with him at Hazzard Homecoming.




Does it look like Randy Orton is photobombing himself in this picture?


The Royal Rumble match itself was so cool to watch.  Kane hasn't wrestled on TV in a while, but was a part of the match.  He is ripped!


Kevin Nash was a surprise entrant.  I am a huge nWo fan, so hearing the nWo music really got me going.




I really love when my phone make gifs automatically.


Ryback is screaming "I'm nuts."






 Ah, the Spanish announce table.  Has it ever been on TV and not had someone thrown through it?  Kane is really ripped.


The last two wrestlers in the Rumble were Batista and Roman Reigns.  They put on a great show.


I went in to it thinking Batista would win.  He did.  It was a heck of a match.  I had so much fun at the event.

What do you think Chad, should we go to Wrestlemania?









In that GIF at the top, does it look like I scared Ben a little?
