On the “Road to Wrestlemania”, the WWE brought their top tier
Professional Wrestling Company to the
Sun Center in Trenton, NJ, to entertain an electrifying crowd. 8 Days
away from the biggest event of the
year, WWE Superstars, Stardust, Sin Cara, Kalisto, Bray Wyatt, The
Social Outcasts, Ryback, and more,
took this opportunity to strike fear in their opponents, while giving
it to the crowd.
I’d like to take a moment to explain the difference between a WWE
Televised Show and a WWE House
Show, and why fans should experience both.
On March 21st, I had the pleasure of attending WWE Monday Night Raw at
the Wells Fargo Center in
Philadelphia. The show was televised, meaning you’ll see the most
popular wrestlers they have to offer.
Televised shows have storylines to follow and directly affect their
monthly PPV events.
On March 26th at the Sun Center in Trenton, NJ, this is what you’d call
a House Show. House Shows
aren’t televised. Being entertained by the most popular wrestlers isn’t
guaranteed. However, there’s an
advantage House Shows have over Televised Shows: Talent to Crowd
Interactions. If you’re loud enough
to gain the attention of the wrestler you love or hate the most,
chances are, they’ll stop wrestling and
address you. As WWE Superstar who wants to be fed more, Ryback,
displayed.
Ryback has been plagued with being a doppelganger of WCW Legend,
Goldberg. So Trenton let him have
it. “GOLD-BERG, GOLD-BERG,” they screamed. Please remember, when the
WWE Universe makes this
chant at a televised show, Ryback ignores the chant, focusing on the
match at hand. But on Saturday
night, not only did Ryback let the crowd know how he felt about their
chants, he went on to perform at
least 4 moves from Goldberg’s move list, before winning the match and
giving an audience member in
the front row, “The Bird.”
Did we receive top tier talent? No. But were we entertained? YES!
Stardust versus Sin Cara opened up
the show with an excited match full of old-school grapples and high
flying artistry. “The Bulgarian Brute”
Rusev versus Kalisto captured the crowd with its “David vs. Goliath”
approach, cashing in on numerous
near falls (kicking out of a pin) and emotional reactions. And the
headliner, The Wyatt Family (Bray and
Rowan) vs. The Big Show and Kane closed the show on a good note,
playing towards the crowd, even
tagging in who the crowd wanted to see in the ring.
Overall, it was a good show that the WWE Universe in Trenton, made a
great experience.

This past Saturday
March 26th I attended the WWE "Road to Wresltemania" event at the Sun
National Bank Center in Trenton. The 2 tickets were courtesy of Jacque Howard
and WIMG 1300AM radio station. I took my wife who has never been to a wrestling
match before but she endures my weekly wrestling shows of RAW & Smackdown
and my commentary on it. The one thing that persuaded her to go was the chance of seeing
her favorite wrestler Roman Reigns <see attached photo> (no idea why she
likes such a puny, homely looking guy) but as you can see in the photos her
face when she found out Roman wasn't there. I have to say the seats were
fantastic and the show was entertaining, so much so that my wife agreed to go
to a live taping of RAW when it comes around again, although I think she wants
to go just to see Roman but hey I will take it. Thanks again Jacque & WIMG
for a night of fun!
