The Oracle Arena in Oakland was SOLD OUT and rightfully so. WWE usually comes to the San Jose Arena and skips over Oakland. Oakland loves heels.
Pre-Monday Night Raw Dark Matches
*Jamie Noble pins TJ Wilson (w/ beer bellied valet)- Wilson, from Toronto, was supposed to be the face but this changed quickly after a "U.S.A." chant followed by a "Let's go Noble" cheer that I started. Good 10 minute opener.
*John Morrison pins Goldust (w/ The Miz) Surprisingly big pop for Goldust. Poor chemistry, short match.
Off-Air Main Event: Street Fight for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
*John Cena pins Randy Orton Fun 15 minute match that started right after Ted Dibiase was escorted to the back. Some really strong spots with Cena winning with the F-U after two RKO attempts and a microphone shot to Cena's head.
Notes -Jericho's mic was so low that we could hardly hear him talk during the opening sequence. -John Cena, Randy Orton, and Chris Jericho drew the most mixed reactions of the night. -Rapper E-40 was in attendance at ringside and the fans were all over him. -After RAW went off-air, Shane did a little more dancing, and the fans ate it up. -Tons of William Regal marks in the crowd. -Kane looked terrible, missing several spots in the 6-man tag. Don't know how this will play on TV. Tons of Jericho marks in the crowd.
BIGGEST POPS 1. The Undertaker (by a mile) 2. Shane McMahon 3. Ric Flair 4. John Cena 5. Shawn Michaels
BIGGEST HEAT 1. JBL 2. Chris Jericho 3. Randy Orton 4. John Cena 5. Oakland Raiders sitting at ringside
