The "RAW" Experience

Behind the scenes of RAW.

The "RAW" Experience
LeeTron

It’s every wrestling fan’s dream— Attending a live taping of what killed World Championship Wrestling’s “Monday Nitro” sixteen years ago… “Monday Night Raw”. Since I got lucky once and saw “Smackdown!” in May, I thought I would take the chance and get near front row tickets to the Labor Day, Kansas City spectacular of WWE’s “RAW”.

Sunday before, 2 PM - Shirt design and Bob Backlund

Of course every time I go to a show, a sign is usually made and taken along.

But since it’s RAW we’re talking about, it has to be BIG. So, me along with my S.O decided a huge head would be exactly what we need. Thirty minutes, twenty dollars, a screaming match/apologies and accidentally putting some pieces the wrong way, we finally got our new friend, Bob, ready to go.

Along with Bob, we decided if we looked like some of the stars on “Raw”, we may be able to get to be on screen because of the striking resemblance.

Since I’m a blonde and John is build like a rectangle… okay maybe exaggerating a little… We decided to go for the only couple that would make sense— Rusev and Lana.

We could pass... Right?

Well… Since Rusev does not have a shirt (What a loser), we had to get creative….

Shout out to ACME shirts for being quick, easy to work with and cheap! 10/10 recommend get something if you stop by.

Everything is ready to go…. Well minus us physically… But that would be stupid to do that.

Monday 10 AM - Why he trusts me, I’ll never quite understand

Well… Woke up like a six year old on Christmas. I’m ready to go.

We totally realize that John’s facial hair was too much for a Rusev, and he let me trim it. ME.

Anyway, we decided to stop and see my family, and evidently left the most important thing…. THE TICKETS. After a detour, and a trip to Walmart for a fake title, we finally made it to see my family.

2 PM - Prepping the diva

I apologize for the ugly looks right now, but a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do.

Obviously it takes time, and mostly looked really close enough to Lana.

Excuse my looks, or laugh… Your pick.

Definitely wasn’t an easy task, any girl would tell you.

4PM - Driving around Power and Light, KCMO

We officially arrived. Food was an ultimate first, as the sprint center food is expensive and not the best in taste…. And Finally….

THE WAIT IS OVER!

We got to our seats, with Bob of course, and watch what was the greatest experience in my twenty years on Earth.

I got to see more of people I love watching, and see people’s lives change and even got a little girl a balloon from Kevin Owen’s celebration of winning the universal title.

Is life complete for this WWE fan? Hell no, it’s not.

Maybe WrestleMania XXXIII? A different pay per view? NXT takeover?

Whatever it is, you’ll see me doing what I do.

Stay ravishing people.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
