The best night of my life...so far anyway.

About a month ago i recieved a call from one of my close friends in Fort Wayne. He told me that WWE would be having a show at the Coliseum on Sunday September 23rd. I was immediately excited and wanted to go. I didn't want to go alone though so I tried to ask everyone that I knew who liked wrestling. Finally, I talked to Javi (who ive spoken about in past posts) and he said that he and his wife, Kim, would love to go. As soon as they told me this I got on ticketmaster.com and checked the availability of tickets. The best seats were $40 each. We decided that was not a problem, so we ordered the tickets. I was skeptical at first about how "good" these seats would be. They were in Section 110 and we had seats 6 through 8. When I looked at what I THOUGHT was the seating chart they looked awesome. I came to find out that they weren't very close to the ring...but hey I was going right??? About a week before the show, I found the real seating chart and it said we were close to the entrance ramp which was awesome. The night before the show, I went to Jav's house to stay there so we could go early and maybe be able to eat lunch with a wrestler. We ended up not leaving early and decided to just go to the Coliseum and wait for the doors to open. As we stood outside of the big glass doors that lead to the arena, we noticed there was a large crowd of people upstairs waiting. We decided to go up and we saw John Cena (the WWE champion...unfortunately) signing autographs. Of course he wasn't IN the crowd...he was in another room but a guy came out and sold the autographed photos. Once the doors opened we went and bought our souvenirs. I got a new Triple H t-shirt and a new DX t-shirt (which you will see me wear from time to time). Once we did that we went to find our seats. We were a section away from the barricade right next to the entrance ramp. What was very cool was once the show started they allowed us to move RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE! It was the most amazing thing ever. The matches weren't bad but some I didn't care about so I didn't watch them. Then...the time came....it was Carlito taking on....TRIPLE H! His music hit and i went NUTS! I didn't think he was that big. He won the match and on his way to the backstage area was shaking hands with the fans. I had to shake his hand...I knew I had to jump past Javi who was in the way. When Trips got right near us Javi moved and pushed me in front and I got to shake his hand. I was so excited...you wouldn't even understand. Then he started talking to someone in our row. He was saying, "Let me see your glow in the dark DX sticks. Trust me...I promise....I will bring them right back." At that moment i realized something....the only person in the ENTIRE section we were in that had those sticks was.....KIM! He posed with the sticks up in an "X" and gave them right back. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Luckily we got some pictures of the whole thing and a guy behind me took a video of it and emailed it to me. That moment will always be with me for as long as I live. It is a once in a lifetime experience. It made my day...and really made me a LOT happier than I've been recently.
