Monday Night RAW or Flair Flop... LIVE!

So last night was the live tv taping of WWE Monday Night RAW in Winnipeg. Ryan, Andrew, Tina and I all attended the festivities. Overall it was a great show! The crowd was insanely hot and I got to see Ric Flair. Our seats were pretty good; facing the camera and in the 26th row. We had a perfect vantage point for both the entrance ramp and the ring. While I forgot my camera, luckily Andrew brought his and took a bunch of photos. Hopefully the ones with Ric Flair turn out. The crowd was constantly cheering Jericho for almost the entire night. During matches that weren't involving him, during commercial breaks, etc. There were some "Go Jets Go" chants as well as some "Let's go Bombers" ones. I would have to say that the most impressive chant came during his match with Randy Orton. A five minute sustained "Let's Go Jericho" CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP chant that was the highlight of the evening. I mean EVERYONE was involved. It was crazy loud. Then I check the tape of the show from TSN and that part was during a COMMERCIAL. They missed an arena full of 12 thousand people cheering the top of their lungs and clapping like their was no tomorrow. Stupid! In the end, I had a kick ass time. Seeing the famous Flair flop live was killer. Everyone whoo'd for that! He totally did a longer one than usual, making it even funnier. Seeing the famous Flair strut, seeing Kane's pyro, and seeing Jericho and Orton tear it up for 20 minutes all added up to an evening worthy of the 55$ price tag. Now let's hope Smackdown tonight can come close to that.
