WWE INSURREXTION
Telewest Arena, Newcastle
Saturday 7th June 2003
Well, what a treemendous day this was. VIP Hospitality tickets !!!
Day started as usual, in the pub, and my word, thank the lord for a sunny day and a zoom lense on my new camera, as I spotted this chick crossing the road fromthe pub window....
So, we're off to a good start !
Off to the Centre For Life Conference Centre in Newcastle for our buffet and autograph session at 4pm. Nice buffet. Lots of meat, pizza'a, cake etc and of course, FREE BEER ! ! !
Even had a DJ playing WWE theme tunes. The girl on the left is called Kelly, more on her later...
Someone that got head...
After mucnhing on food and abusing the free bar, we join the queue to go upstairs to meet the Superstars. A pretty long queue, but the best of it was we could order drinks from it, so we had lots more beer. Some absoloutly gorgeous hostess's looking after us, hmmm, I think I asked 2 of them to marry me, they both refused. Spotted this nice chick on the way up the stairs....
We get a free goody bag, with a programme, T-shirt and a blank 'autograph mat'. Though the doors and its Rob Van Dam & Kane...
The Small Blue Machine & The Big Red Machine....
Kane, UEP & Stereo Mike....
I said to Rob "Are you coming out for a pint after the show" to which he replied. "That sounds great, but Im cool, but you know, everything is cool when your Rob Van Dam", ha ha, Class I declare. Smurf Van Dam....
Tag Team Champions Belt
A nice shoulder that was in the queue...
Kane & RVD's autograph...
UEP got a beer bottle signed by RVD....
The buffet closed at 6, and as you may exepect, we were the last to leave around 6:15 as we had lots of beers to finish. UEP was pretty drunk, haha.
Gets to our seats. They were on the floor and everytime someone stood up you couldnt see nowt and we were to far away to get our signs on TV, but we did get the 5ft square GGM banner on when the show kicked off by standing on our chairs and getting shouted at by security, hehe.

1st dark match was some German dude that got boo'd to pieces versus Maven. 2nd 'dark' match was The Hurriacane V Lance Storm.
Lance Storm holding The Hurricane ready for a suplex. He had him up there for over a minute...
Booker T...
Kane in the ring...
At this point the battery ran out in my camera !! gutted !! there were around 30 other photo's of Trish etc but they came out blurred or had people's heads and signs in front of them.
The show was amazing, Every match was incredible and they all worked up to the crowd.
Hilight of thenight was Jericho's Hilight Reel, He came out and said something like "There's a lot of people in here tonight ..... but your all jackass's", ha ha. Then he said we were all tossers and our city had no class. he said the red carpet smelt of beer & fish & chips. Then he called out Eric Bischoff to loads of boo's and they ripped more out the crowd saying we had Fat Cow Disease, people had no teeth & things, funny like.
The the big glass smash noise and Austin's music blasts out. He came down to the ring listening to what his watch was saying with a huge grin. Crowd were going bezerk and he loved it.
He came in the ring, threw the stools out, said he rolled into Newcastle last night and had 1 pint, 2 pints, 3 pints, 4 pints ...... 20 pints, acoompanied by the whole arena shouting "WHAT". excellent. I had tears in me eyes and the hairs on me kneck were standing up like porn stars nipples. What a buzz. He told Eric he'd changed the main even to a street fight, generally ripped into both of them, then asked them to drink a beer with him. The clanned there cans together then Stone Cold stunnered Jericho then Bischoff. Treemendous, he was loving the reaction from the crowd. Awesome.
Now then, back to Kelly from earlier. She works with Stereo Mike and was sitting 4 or 5 rows in front of us. Stereo & UEp started shouting 100s of mad things like "Kelly loves Austins fingers", "Kelly licks fish", "Kelly loves the goldmember" allsorts of daft things. The people in front of us were creased up laughing, ha ha, poor girl.
The show ended about 9:30 and we head outside. Stereo says to me "look at that over there", I turn away and UEP puts a giant bin over my head and they both start closelining me trying to knock me over, ha. It didnt work. Felt a bit dazed and didnt relaise I had split me head open ....
Down the stairs from the arena, I climbed up a wall and dived onto the 2 sukkaz. Stereo powerbombed me onto the concrete. and I done a Dudley Dog on UEP using a lampost instead of a ring. We done it perfectly, but the first failed attempt sent me flying into the middle of the road, collecting these cuts & bruises...
Anwyayz, we head of to a party called Arcane @ Newcastle Uni, big house & techno night where Me & Stereo continued our hardcore match in there, DDT'ing each other all over the place.
We even got attacked by some girls with paper swords.
Fantastic day.
