Thanks to John for sending this report in!

Just got back from Raw in KC and I wanted to give you guys some notes from the show. I'll be working off memory so I'll try to do my best. Got into Kemper Arena pretty easily. There was extra security but they didn't pat people down like at previous WWF events which I found strange. The place was pretty full, but far from a sellout. There was one top section almost completely empty. Dark matches were what you expect. Brock Lesner is absolutely a monster. I think the guy can be a huge star if the WWF slowly brings him along slowly. The crowd was totally into the show from the beginning. They popped for almost everyone especially The Fink when he came down to ringside. They even popped for Billy Gunn! KC crowds just don't get it...Billy Gunn is stiff and boring! Come on people. I had to pop for Tommy Dreamer when he came out for the Metal/Jakked tapings. I was pretty much the only one. They just don't get what the guy has put himself through over the years for our entertainment. Hardy Boyz got a decent pop, but they came out without Lita and the crowd was chanting for her during their match. Poor guys. Lillian Garcia sings the national anthem. She got a HUGE pop from all the guys everytime she got into the ring during the commercial breaks. I gotta tell ya, she's cute on TV, but in person she is a total knockout!

Raw starts off with Vince and Linda coming down to ringside with a decent pop. Shane and Steph got a decent amount of heat when they came out. For those that haven't seen the WWF live, I can't explain how huge Stephanie's chest is. I mean, they're big on TV, but in person...they're massive! They announce that Steve Austin isn't going to be here tonight. WHAT?! Mr. Tito's finger of shame for that. I hope he isn't injured from last night's PPV, but they could have had him involved in some kind of capacity.

The show was alot of fun. The crowd was hot, and the matches were exciting. I don't know what they were trying to do but, kudos to the WWF for clean pins. This really kept the matches entertaining. And WOW, four title changes in one night! The crowd went absolutely crazy when Angle and The Rock and Y2J won their matches. They also exploded when Kane chokeslammed DDP. I don't know about anyone else, but I think DDP's new gimmick is hilarious. Tajiri got a good pop with his win, Torrie was simply gorgeous. My tongue is still on the ground.

During the commercial break for the Tag Team Championship match, the Dudleyz got on the mike and put the crowd down a little bit to give themselves a little extra heat (Stacy looked awesome, by the way. Her Dudley attire is quite striking).

The show ended the same way it did on TV with the McMahon's kissing on the Titan Tron. The Rock didn't come back out to sing or anything, which was quite disappointing.

Biggest Pops:
1) The Rock
2) Y2J
3) Kurt Angle
4) Undertaker (the guy may be old and doesn't sell a thing, but he is still bigtime over)
5) Kane chokeslamming DDP
6) Lita/Trish

Honorable Mention: Lillian Garcia everytime she walked into the ring (The KC crowd loved her)

Biggest Heat:
1) Shane/Steph
2) DDP putting down our pathetic Chiefs
3) Dudley Boyz
4) Booker T (except for me, gotta pop for The Book)
5) Test
6) Charles Robinson (the crowd totally berated him everytime he walked down to the ring)

Also, one last wrestling related item. Driving through downtown KC on the way to the event, we noticed a billboard for a local juicebar called Bazooka's. They were advertising, WCW's Gorgeous George October 24th through the 27th. This answer's the question if she was stripping after ECW folded. This also brings up the question if they're able to advertise her as WCW's Gorgeous George, because wasn't ECW only aloud to call her George? Anyway, just thought I'd pass that tidbit along. Maybe I'll attend one of the nights as an internet journalist and pass along some...ahem...notes.
