The superstars of WWE's Monday Night Raw rumbled at the Sprint Center last night. There were plenty of screaming children and grown men with championship belts in the crowd, rooting for their favorite gladiators. The evening culminated with the return of the Undertaker, who stared down his rival Triple H and restarted their feud leading to their showdown at WrestleMania on April 1.
The Dead Man hadn't been seen since last year's WrestleMania, where he defeated Triple H to keep his 19-0 WrestleMania winning streak alive.
At these events, the fans always add to the atmosphere. Take the fan next to me. During good guy John Cena's brawl with the demented monster Kane, the guy kept yelling for Cena to "take his [Kane's] ass to Swope Park" because that's how we do it in KC. Cena was content to bash Kane's skull with the metal ringside stairs. As Kane retreated, the guy screamed, "Running like a bitch."
I snapped a few unimpressive photos with my iPhone. Of course, there's always pyro.
WWE Champion CM Punk led the crowd in chants of "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye" as he celebrated the expected firing of executive vice president of talent relations and interim Raw general manager John Laurinaitis.
Punk would face World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan.
But their match was rudely interrupted by Chris Jericho.
The crowd was also treated to the only living, breathing Funkasaurus, Brodus Clay, who strolled to the ring with his dancers and busted a move in the ring prior to squashing the muscle-bound Tyler Reks.
There was plenty of hype for Cena's WrestleMania dream match with the Rock.
Finally, it was up to Triple H to send Laurinaitis packing.
But before Triple H could give the suit his pink slip, the lights went off and the familiar funeral march played.
The two stared each other down before Triple H patted the Undertaker on the shoulder and left the ring.

Wow, wow, just wow. You first deflect by stating that there are actually worse parents than you at the event. Classic!
Then a tirade about how crappy the person YOU CHOSE to be the father of your child is as a person. Guess what, it is called birth control. Try being settled down with a person (married or not, preferably married), THEN get pregnant!
Please at least tell me you balance the WWE nonsense with more culturally valid things like art and music.
A lot of athletes do good things. Big deal. Hopefully, I am my child's role model! It isn't ego either. A child should be the product of two loving people. Then these people should be the best role model for their children they can be for their children. Have you ever heard live by example? Taking a 3 year old somewhere where everyone is cussing, drinking, and being rude is hardly a place to teach children manners.
I will raise my children my way and you do so with your's. Good luck!
For anyone who would invoke "social services" over attendance at a WWE event, you need to wake up every day and thank whatever God you believe in for your sheltered, insulated, pious life. Being an idiotic classist has helped you avoid seeing the horrors out there that actually COUNT as bad parenting.
With that said, WWE is cheesy and fake, but it's fun....and still not NEARLY as predictable as the Royals or the Chiefs.
To add to that she loves it she doesn't see it as violence; she sees it as wrestling. She loves some of the superstars and she likes watching it. She looks forward to watching raw on Monday's!! Tons of kids go to these events for the same reason!!! And as for social services I know people that need their kids tooken cause of worse reasons then this and nothing happens!!! Tons of people around the world watch this with their kids there is no problem with it!! Now if they started immitating them, then ya there would be a problem!! Most people like it not for the violence but for the stars and their raising awareness for bullying which I think is awsome!!! They do the make a wish program for kids with diabilities, tribute to the troops, and tons more!!! Yes people have their opinions but don't talk about how I raise my child you know nothing about me!!! The superstars in the wwe do alot for the communities, kids, and troops!!!
Wo wo wo I got news for you the person that thinks their better than me at parenting. There's people that had a one year old there so don't say nothing to me. She has watched this since I was pregnant so kiss it!! The only problem she has is because she seen her father put his hands on me once and I got her the hell outta that situation!!! I've seen soo much younger kids there with no ear muffs or anything on crying. The one I went to before this one there was a 2 month old sitting behind me with his parents balling almost the whole time. You don't know me you don't know my child and what she's been through. Or on that matter how I raise my child I have done everything in my power to keep her safe!!!! If I would have known her father before the year we were together and I got preganant I wouldn't of even had a kid with him. You think this wrestling has anything over her Dad being a physco NO IT DOESN'T!!! My child has supervised visits because the way he treats her, we're about to move farther away because a professional from pathways told me It'd be safer to get her away from him. You know nothing about me so you get your facts before judging people!!!! GOD I HATE PEOPLE THAT JUDGE OTHERS WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM!!!!!!
Why is this popular? Are you kidding??? They put on a good show. All guilty pleasure. Pure theater.
I am a woman in her 40s with a professional degree. I know it's not "real." However they do put on a good physical display. They really do fall off of things and hit the mats. People get injured and bleed. It's like an over-th-top stunt man performance.
Where else can you cheer and boo comic book like figures come to life (i.e. the hero, the heal, the crooked managers, double-crossing tag team members, etc.)
We watch it for the same reason people watch action movies...things go boom (pyrotecnics) and the bodies hit the floor (splat) all in a controled environment.
Plus, the guys are hot!!!
Andrea took her 3 year old daughter to this? That poor girl has zero chance.
Andrea, violence, a bunch of sweaty boys and men, cussing while two beat the crap out of each other, is no way to raise a child. Social services should have been there to collect the children from these idiot parents.
I won tickets to the show last night (thanks street team). I haven't watched in a decade, but seeing it live from the front row was pretty cool. They put on one hell of a pyrotechnics show. I also determined that the 10 year old version of me would think that the 36 year old version was pretty cool hanging out ringside.
Was there and loved it!!! You had took a pic of my 3 yr old daughter and me by the wwe shop was wondering if I could get a copy.
