Hey everybody,I went to see WWE Raw presents Road To WrestleMania at the
Bancorp South Center yesterday. They let everybody in an hour before the
show started. Teddy Long came out and talked to some of the fans there.
I've had an opportunity talk to him,I called him a "Bald-Headed Don King
wanna-be" and also said ,at least I'm not a muscular version of Fat
Albert,and he said,You could've fooled me,but he probably knew I was
kidding with him. One of the security men thought that looked familiar
and that Jazz was my girlfriend, said,Please! Jazz is so ugly,she can
break daylight with her fist. A few minutes later,Rob Van Dam stuck his
head through and everyone went crazy. Then it was showtime,the host of
the afternoon was none other than Howard "The Fink" Finkel.

Match #1:
Val Venis,Lance Storm,Spike Dudley def. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott
Steiner,Christian,
and (That good for nothing) Test

Test,Scott,and Christian were acting like a bunch of idiots in the
ring,while everybody was chanting for Stacy Keibler to come out and I
was chanting with them,I said, "We Want Legs". Just as the idiotic 3
were about conquer Lance,Spike,and Val,
Stacy comes out and dangles her a** in front of Test and Lance takes
advantage of it and gets the win for team. I've gotten the priviledge to
slap hands with Val and Lance,it was great.

Match #2:
Some rookie from Los Angeles def. Rene (of La Resistance)

Ok match and that rookie's got a lot of techinque to go far.

Match #3 (And my favorite!):
Molly Holly vs Trish Stratus vs Jazz vs Lita-Women Championship
Elimination Match

All those ladies skillz,but Molly was still being a b**** about being
the Women's Champion. Anyway back to the match,
Trish was the first to be eliminated by either Molly or Jazz (I'm not
sure) and I felt so bad for her that I yelled,"Keep your head up,Girl! I
wanna be your baby's daddy! I love you,Trish!" Lita then eliminated
Jazz,then before the match could continue,Molly pins Lita for the win
and retains the title. Then and Jazz decides to double team on her for
fun,until Trish came back to the ring for some payback and along double
team Molly and Jazz. Best part for me was at the end when Lita's
fingertips touched my hand,I felt like I've died and gone to heaven,I
wish I could've got the chance to touch Trish though. Either way it was
a great match.

Match #4:
Mark Henry w/Teddy Long def. The Hurricane

Very quick match Mark dominated the enitre match. I got an opportunity
to yell at him,"Hey,Hey,Hey It's Fat Albert!" And I slapped hands with
The Hurricane too.

10-minute intermission

Match #5:
Tag Team Championship Elimination Match-Evolution (Ric Flair & Batista)
vs Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade vs Dudley Boyz

Very good match,funniest part was when Bubba Ray dropped Ric's wrestling
draws showing his a**,but in the end,Evolution came out on top and
retained the tag titles. I got to slap hands with D-Von as well.

Match #6:
Chris Jericho vs Kane

The match went back and forth,Y2J went for the steel chair and Kane
kicked him with it then Trish (Stratus) comes out to save Jericho being
pinned. Kane was about to chokeslam my Trish until Jericho hits him with
that same steelchair,causing Kane to win the match by DQ. The touching
part was when Trish hugged Y2J (I wish it could've been me though),but
once Kane rose up,they were flying out the arena with Kane right behind
them.

Match #7:
Intercontinental Title Match-Randy Orton w/Ric Flair def. Rob Van Dam

Another back and forth match,and thanks to Ric Flair,Randy retains the
IC title,but RVD finally got some payback via the 5-Star Frogsplash. And
not only did I slap hands with RVD,but I also got his autograph too.

I've had the time of my life,and I sure hope that Tupelo will invite the
WWE back for more live events,house shows,and maybe even a Pay Per View
or two.
