By: B_Jenkins-BWE, rajah.com reader
The WWE returned to cadillac after a year long absence and to say the least everyone was very excited about this event. So ill get ot my WWE Expercience so here we go....
We arrived about 6 pm the doors opened at 6:30 but to due to the extreme coldness of apporiximentaly 10 degrees they let us in at 6:20 but we did manage to see Tajiri, Val Venis, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton drive into the parking lot which was very excting because Randy Backed up his car and winked at us and gave us a salute which was great for all the fans standing in the blistering cold.
As we made are way into ''The Wex'' It was completley sold out. ''The Wex'' seats about 2500 people and there was not a empty seat in the house. Some people didnt even have seats, even though i was surprised at seeing the WWE come to a small venue that seats 2500 people but it was still a experiance. As me and a group of freinds made it to the merchadise stands i picked up the ''Ruck Fules'' T-shirt, The U.S Championship pennet and a program . But the Hottest item was the Batista Logo T. Alot of people were dissapointed about Batista not being there. As we made are way to are Front row seats the Copyright message came on basically telling us to obide by arena rules and told us to enjoy the show.
Some annoucer comes to the ring and welcomes us to the show as he tells us to rise for the national anthem, we all rise then surely as i excpected La Resistance struted to the ring. They Demorlized us by saying that Cadillac was a terrible town and how bad america was as Grenier was trying to sing ''O Canada'' conway was trying to shut us up Taijiri's music hit as are first match got under way.
World Tag Championship Match
Tajiri & William Regal vs La Resistance
The match started with Conway and regal but this was a very slow paced match with alot of pausing for crowd interaction Taijri ends up getting the win to retain the Tag titles with a Taijri kick.
Your winners:Regal and Taijri
2nd match Val Venis vs Chris ''The Masterpiece'' Masters.
On a side not Val threw his towel to my mother which i thought was great. Im not really impressed with this masters character. He seems like a rip off of Batista. Basically a squash match with Masters winning with a full nelson on val. Most fans were chanting for Batista during this match.
Your Winner:Chris ''The Masterpiece'' Masters
3rd Match Maven vs The Hurricane
Maven got more boos than cheers but Hurricane really stole the show with giving a kid his mask. A very stupid ending as Hurricane roles up Maven like hes nothing. Just like Shelton did at New Years Revoultion.
Your Winner: The Hurricane
4th match Womens Chapionship
Trish vs Molly vs Victoria
Better than average womens match with everyone hitting all ther spots.Trish really looked hot tonight as she always does. Victoria did a widows peak on molly then out of no where trish delivers a hard kick to her head then gets the 3 count.
Your winner Trish Stratus
5th match Intercontinetal Championship
Shelton Benjiman vs Christian w/Tyson Tomko
Actually long match 20 mintues in length. Shelton wins with a T-Bone.After much interfrence from Tomko.
Your Winner Shelton Benjiman
Next The Coach came out at annouced that tonite Batista was not here. This got many boos as there was almost a riot. As he continued he annouced a Street Fight for the world title Triple H defends against Randy Orton. Lots of RKO chants. Then coach told us to enjoy the show.
Nexy Christy Hemme came out and was throwing Randy Orton shirts when all of a sudden Simon Dean comes out and calls us fadillac? Lots of i hate you's from the crowd.as he was insulting the overweight guy next to me Christy low blowed him.Wow is Christy really hot in person i bet the playboy is going to be phenomal.

Your Winner Muhammad Hassan
8th Match Submission Match
Chris Beniot vs Edge
Beniot started with his usually chops and edge manged to get the spear in.But Beniot got the crippler crossface in as Edge Tapped out. Beniot really looked like a winner as he raised his hands with pride.
9th Match World Title:Cadillac Street Fight
Triple H vs Randy Orton
Half and half for Trip on the cheers and boos but Randy Orton realy stole the show. Massive randy chants, this match actually was better than the on that took place at the royal rumble beleive it or not. It is just great to see how involved the WWE has it fans get into the matches.i mean in my section Orton was right in front of me lying on the ground.This was a brutal match with chairshots to both Orton and Game they put there bodys on the line. Triple H took a hard fall into the steel steps, But he recovered and started to choke randy out with a piece of rope. The randy battled out hit the RKO as the crowd went wild both men were down as Triple H grabbed a chair and clocked Randy Orton The he went for the cover 1.......2.........3 it was over Triple h walked out while Randy Orton lie there inthe middle of the ring. We started cheering for randy. Randy walked around the whole ring playing off the concussion angle it was such a honor to shake his hand. Wow he truly is a great indivudal. As the show ended they said they would be back next year.
But I stuck around and talked to Jack Doan.Chad Patten and Mike choida. I shook all there hands and they were all really nice as they gave me a RKO Shirt and we talked to them while they took the ring down. I just really apperiacte the WWE's effort's towards the fans and i highly advise that if you havent been to a WWE event you are missing out.
