The OFFICIAL Wrestlemania XX site is already up. As everyone knows Wrestlemania XX will take place on March 14, 2003 LIVE from Madison square Garden. Tickets go on sale on September 27 and for those who attended the Raw show a special pink form was handed out where you can fill it out and receive advanced ticket information for Wrestlemania XX. The form also included a sticker or a tatoo of some sorts.
I was at tonight's Raw from Madison Square Garden and it was SOLD OUT believe it or not. The crowd was excited easily popping, or booing for almost anything, everything, and anyone.
Dark matches
Carnera took on a newcomer from Queens, NY named Aaron Stevens who got a big pop playing off of being from New York City. The fans already started chanting BORING without the match even starting. The crowd wasn't into this match because we were too busy chanting BORING until Stevens won the match. Aaron Stevens got a love of cheers after the match was over and high five come crowd members, Carnera then just stood in the ring in disbelief and got booed while walking up the ramp. Stevens has some potential but it doesn't look too good for Carnera.
Mark Jindrak got some cheers although no one knew what I was talking about him being Sean O' Haire's partner in WCW. Jindrak took on Spike Dudley who got a BIG POP & an ECW chant the instant his music hit. It was a pretty good back and forth match until Jindrak got the win. Crowd booed the hell out of Jindrak as he walked up the ramp. Spike got up to the ramp and waived to everyone and got a good sendoff. Howard Finkel informs us to be very loud because Heat will be taped and shown this Sunday on the new TNN.
Out come Jonathan Coachman and Al Snow who got a VERY LOUD pop and an ECW chant going for Al. Pyro then starts as our first match has Rico with Jackie Gayda Vs Tommy Dreamer who got a really good ovation and an ECW chant started. Crowd was rooting for Dreamer the whole time and Rico was getting a "RICO'S GAY" chant & lots of boos the whole match. Rico wins when Dreamer goes after Gayda, motions for what looked like a neck breaker but Rico saves Gayda by highkicking Dreamer to the head for the victory.
Rosey fought Garrison Gade REAL BORING MATCH with Garrison getting the win with a knee to the face. They then start shooting T-shirts into the crowd HOWEVER the guy who was shooting kept shooting into the same two locations and when he was done the entire MSG let out the ASSHOLE chant on him for a good minute plus. He simply just waived as if he didn't care.
Outwalks somebody in Green trunks. A LOUD "you need music" chant starts up followed by a "who the hell are you?" chant. Val Venis comes out to a loud pop followed by him stating that Warner Bros. and Valbowski films both have something in common. This summer they will both release blockbusters. Warner Bros. will be releasing Terminator 3 rise of the machines but the Big Valbowski will be releasing an even bigger blockbuster titled "Testosterone: Rise of the Big Valbowski" Howard Finkel then announces the opponents name but you couldn't hear it. Val wins easily with the money shot.
Trish Stratus & Goldust came out separately each to a good ovation especially Trish. Their opponents Victoria and Steven Richards. Entertaining main event for Heat. Trish sets up Goldust to give Victoria "shattered dreams" but in comes Steven Richards who was aiming for Goldust, he misses and well, lands face first in Victoria's pie. Steven Richards & Victoria won prompting the crowd to boo. Howard Finkel then asks everyone to stand up and make as much noise as they can this of course being for the ending to Heat.
Raw warm up
We are asked to stand for the national anthem. Lillian looked HOT and everytime she'd stop a loud WHAT? chant evolved. Not even half way into the anthem the La Resistance video airs which gets the USA chant going. Jim Ross is then announced and gets a good pop, then out comes Jerry Lawler with some boos and then a loud "Jerry" chant breaks out. Howard Finkel informs everyone that in two minutes Raw will be going live on the air. 1 minute and 30 seconds so on till the final count. Raw theme song starts and the whole arena just about starts singing along.
Pyro goes off and Raw is on the air.
After the first match Stacey is shown checking on her foot and is helped by Booker T and Steiner to the back. After the cameras go off from the Mick Foley segment Vince is the first person to leave. RVI, Kane, Austin, and the entire Dudley clan continue to drink beer then walk off the ramp with a loud Foley chant going. D'von waives so long and that is that.
Lillian then went into detail about the Pink forms to get ticket info for Wrestlemania XX and plugged Mick Foley's book signing which oddly enough most people booed. After La Resistance's match they continued to bad mouth the crowd and the U.S. then Hurricane left with Slaughter. I was in row 307 and across the way you could see a huge occurrence in I believe row 125. This proceeded to then be a brawl between some out of control fans. I'm not sure what it was over but in the end security ended up either escorting but to me it looked like helping a man with a light blue shirt and khakis on. He looked real hurt.
The WWE then plugged Torrie Wilson's playboy issue and it was about 10:36pm and the crowd was growing impatient. We wanted to see Goldberg and the entire arena started a Goldberg chant. Goldberg after defeating Rodney Mack in 34 seconds proceeded to high five some fans and continued doing so up the ramp. Trish is then brought out with the winner of a computer package and this kid Jason got booed badly. Trish tried to get the crowd to cheer but we just kept booing him.
After Raw went off the air to say that what happened after Raw went off the air was mind-blowing would be a joke.
All that happened was Rob Van Dam laying in the ring. Evolution left shortly there after. Kane then stared around and knelt down as to wonder what he just did to Rob Van Dam. RVD chants then follow with him waking up groggy, sliding out of the ring and just looking back then seeing Kane's hair in the ring.
RVD then walks up the ramp and Lillian thanks us all for coming and welcomes everyone to come back tomorrow for Smackdown which I will also be at & send a report in for.

Robbie Rob sent these notes in
Just a few notes from last nights RAW which I attended.
1) Goldberg chants were NOT piped
2) Crowd really getting on Lance Storm, "BORING"
3) One of the largest pops of the night was when some French guy who was preaching to follow La Resistance, was escorted out by security.
4) Major heat for La Resistance before RAW started when their promo interrupted Lillian Garcia's singing of the national anthem.
5) "GI Joe" chants for Srgt. Slaugter.
6) Foley segement was LOUD
7) Flair still got it, the crowd ate up anything that had Flair in it
Overall way better than last RAW at MSG, but still an average show
