The arena was full to most the only thing I noticed was couple empty seats here and there.
Dark Match
Atlas def Kenny Dykstra.
Pretty good Match. Kenny got alot of heat the fans were surprisingly in Atlas's corner this dude is pretty big and even has a fro almost a taller and bigger Carlito look alike.
Sunday Night Heat
Snitsky def Jobber.
Typical Snitsky match here he gets the win with the Big Boot and the Pumphandle for the easy victory.
Ron Simmons def jobber.
Again another quick match with Simmons picking up the quick and easy victory celebrates buy saying DAMN after the match and the crowd eats it up.
The Highlanders def Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Super Crazy
Fans were behind Hacksaw and Crazy during this one by during there HO and SI routine but wasnt enough as The Highlanders got cheap victory in this one.
RAW
The Divas Halloween Battle Royal was a great way to kick off RAW Victoria got huge laughs with her Banzi Drop routine Maria was way over too but Torrie Wilson got the biggest reaction when she came dressed up as a Philadelphia Eagle its a good thing they won on Sunday or else she would have been booed out of the building. Kelly Kelly picks up the victory and started to celebrate but not for long untill Beth Phoenix comes out and destroys her.
Shawn Michaels came out next to a huge oviation for his segment with Vince McMahon crowd was really into this one as well.
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes def The Worlds Greatest Tag Team
Crowd wasnt into this one much in the building during this match you could hear a pin drop.
Lance Cade def Paul London
Boring Match. Crowd didn't seem to care for to much.
Hornswoggle def Jonathen Coachmen
Foly got a nice pop as you could expect crowd was way behind Hornswoggle too especiallyy when he hit the Mini Mandible Claw on Coach.
Jeff Hardy & DH Smith def Mr.Kenndy & Carlito
As you'd expect mixed Reaction in this one as the Kids were behind Hardy and the older fans like myself were behind Kennedy.
Lots of Y2J Chants during the Diva Search Announcement.
Triple H vs Randy Orton & Umaga
Crowd didnt like the finish but popped huge when HBK came in and made the save.
Post Show
After the Show DX did a hilarious skit with Vince McMahon bringing up the whole Vince loves Cock routine and everything. Vince was trying to get DX to the back this eventually brings out William Regal and he gets a Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree for his trouble to end the show.
Overall it was a great night.

I was at Raw law night in Philly, and after it went off the air, there was a bonus match of DX vs. Randy and Umaga.
DX won, when Shawn hit the Sweet Chin Music on Umaga, Umaga stayed on his feet long enough for HHH to hit the pedigree, at the exact same time that HBK also hit Orton with the Sweet Chin Music. Both HHH and HBK covered Umaga and Orton at the same time and got the victory.
After the match, HBK and HHH celebrated. Then HHH did the "Are you Ready..." but stopped to joke about how much fun he was having and how much time they were taking up. Then Vince came out on the ramp to tell DX to get to the
back. They made fun of Vince, and got the crowd to sing "Na na na na, hey hey, good bye" to him. Then Regal came out and they made fun of him too ("speaking of bad hair"). Vince and Regal then charged the ring, but as they were both about to slide into the ring, Vince ran
away, leaving Regal in the ring alone with DX. HBK and HHH each hit their finishers, and celebrated with the Crowd.

Hello, my name is Valicia Brown and I attended the Raw show in Philly last night.
After Raw went off the air by Michaels saving HHH, they both knew that that was a crappy ended to just end the show like that... so after, Umaga left RKO by himself in the ring after he was thrown in by HBK this soon turned into a reverse handicapped match with DX vs. RKO... about 5 minutes in, Umaga aided Orton...but this did not help...DX with the win.
But that's not it...both Shawn and HHH were SOOO nice that they stayed in the ring for a solid 20 minutes saying typical DX stuff...that including HHH saying "We're not gonna leave, I'm gonna push it a little bit, and pull it a little bit... oh wait, Shawn doesn't like it when I pull it!" LMAO... and then Vince comes out and is like get back here.. the Vince loves cock chants begin.. and Regal comes out... blah blah blah... Vince and Regal storm the ring to "take on" DX but Vince leaves Regal alone.. then the the super kick out of the ring, then the pedigree.. LMAO!
After that, both men STICK AROUND to shake as many hands as they can!!! Just as an example, I myself got to shake HHH's hand 3 TIMES!!! lol... all in all... I've been to several WWE shows and this was by far the best night of my life as a wrestling fan so far...
Oh and some side notes... some of the wrestlers were rather unprofessional, I mean to the extent where the Highlanders were calling spots OUT LOUD IN THE RING!!!!!!!!! and Umaga was shocking... he broke character right infront of the fans... and had a full on conversation with Orton on the ramp!!!! LMAO!! I know his father taught him better than that.. I mean aren't you supposed to sell a match like everyone watching is a 5 yr old fan?? That's what I was told... and you many want to look out for Kennedy, I have some pretty close up pics of him and he sold his injury really well.. to the point where I dont know if it was real or not... I think he may be really hurt! Also look out for Umaga I think he pulled something in his leg.
