I've been in a pretty creative mood....well creative by my low standards anyway. I'll need some more hi-res images to really get cracking. Here's a couple things I made....

The presale for the Raw show in Philadelphia started at 10am today and yours truly snagged four seats in section 5, row 5! Not as good as our seats from last time, but not bad at all by anyone's standards! These are the seats that we are usually able to get at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, NJ, so we're pretty familiar with the viewpoint. These were the only seats that would even come up on the comcasttix website, except for section 1, row 6 that came up one time, so I'm really glad that Lou was able to grab them. In my experience, getting floor seats to come up on these ticket sites is pretty difficult so if you can get anything in the first five rows, it's best to go for it. Someday, I'll put up the money to get ringside seats, because it would be worth it at least once.

I finally got Photoshop CS3 on my home computer, so I did a quick banner to test it out.

WWE Raw will be back at the Wachovia Center on January 28, 2008. Tickets officially go on sale Saturday, December 8th at 10AM, but knowing Comcast, there will probably be a presale on Wednesday or Thursday. Getting those awesome floor seats was an amazing fluke that may not happen again, especially since this time I need four tickets instead of three, but I'll try my hardest and you better believe I'll get some more awesome pictures of Randy! Wish me luck!

Randy has a lot to be pissed about. After vanquishing the real competition of HHH and HBK and with Cena out of the picture, It looked like Randy actually had a chance at keeping the belt for a while, barring someone coming over from ECW or Smackdown for some reason. Y2J is much more popular than I had ever believed. People that haven't watched wrestling for years are telling me that they may start watching again for Jericho. I have to give him one thing, he sure is charismatic and just has the right energy to get people really excited. That "me want title match" thing did make me laugh.

In a way, I'm kind of relieved because as much as I love the WWE, things really were starting to get stale. It just seems like the same matches over and over again with titles hardly changing hands. At least now I feel like there's the possibility for some great stories. The Raw of Jericho's return was probably the best Raw I've seen in a long time, right up there with the whole Mickey James/Trish love fest and the Lita/Cane love child debacle. Ofcourse, none of this bodes well for our man, but a little friendly competition does make things lively. After all, as much as I love Randy, there has to be some competition or he'll just have to run into every match and RKO everyone ::smirks::

Last night's Raw was the most entertaining two hours that they've had in a long time. From the passing of the torch, the constant RKO's and let's not forgot the totally over-hyped over the top return of Chris Jericho ( though he was looking ohhh sooo gooood...is there a jericholove in the future?;)) With Jericho and Randy, we have the classic battle of good versus evil (is it so bad that I want evil to win?) Also, what a way to create several new story lines in one episode. I dare say all of the new pairings were unprecedented! Of course as is Randy's way, he's made himself plenty of new enemies. I am glad to see Jericho because at least I feel that he is a worthy adversary.

He did it again! The man that everyone loves to hate (or in my case loves to LUST;)) has retained the World Championship. I must admit that I was very worried for Randy because I figured that if they were going to give it up to HBK, that it would be at this event. Maybe that's still in the cards or maybe Vince doesn't think he's ready yet. I tend to think that Vince likes to test out the wrestlers a while after they come back after major surgeries before passing them belts in order to preserve the storyline. Things can always happen ofcourse (i.e Cena) but they want to make sure that they can defend and keep the title until it is ready to be passed on to someone else. I just never thought I'd see Randy hold it so long and I'm over the top thrilled about it!!! Maybe they'll finally make some decent Orton merchandise to go along with the victory! I know I'll be first in line:) I think the best part about the match is that Randy won it fair and square. Ofcourse he came back into the rieg but atleast it wasn't to kick Shawn in the face. Ofcourse they had to fit the Sweet Chin Music in there which is kind of annoying me at this point. Anyway, our man is still Champ and will hopefully hold it until someone better or Cena come along.

It was truly an amazing time...third row right behind Jr and the King. We really lucked out big time with the presale! I took over 800 pictures that night because you never know what will turn out. Alot of the pictures of Randy fortunately turned out really well, so here are some of my best ones! These are from the live Raw taping on 10/29/07 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, PA. The pictures will link back to my personal journal where you can find my review and the pictures from the other matches, as well as a few more of Randy:)
