WWE ECW, Superstars and Smackdown tapings from Toyota Center on December 8, 2009

I've lapsed almost another moth without updating this site. Ever since I created it, I wasn't totally sure what I was going to dedicate this to, but it's kind of worked itself out as a Houston Pro Wrestling and various Festival site. That's because those are the things that I enjoy, along with women, beer and cheese. All 5 of these things intertwine with each other on this site and in my life, so sit back and enjoy how I make the most of these things and share them with you here on my interwebage portal of fun!

Last night I met up with my friend Drew at Lucky's Pub. We enjoyed a few beers, some salad and pizza and then met up with my friend Jason and his son Nicholas outside of the Toyota Center for some World Wrestling Entertainment action! We walked in, got some beer, and found our seats. They were ALL the way in the first row of the section right behind the floor section. Super bad-ass! I didn't even realize when I bought them how good they were and I'm very happy that we didn't have kids in front of us holding up signs the entire night impeding our view.

The night started off with a dark match between Goldust and Kaval (who used to be Low-Ki in TNA and ROH). Then we got a decent ECW show, even though it did NOT have The Abraham Washington Show.

They changed the ring apron and taped a couple of matches for Superstars and then Smackdown taped. There was a dark promo segment to start things off with Batista and a dark World Heavyweight Championship match at the end between The Undertaker and CM Punk.

I'm not going to give away results/spoilers here, but if you look at my photos by clicking the link at the top of the page, you can probably figure out what happened.

All in all, it was good entertainment and I'm glad I was able to hang out with my friends and have a great time.

After the show, Jason and Nicholas heading home. Me and Drew wanted to wait out the traffic and I had invited people, specifically WWE wrestlers, to meet up with us at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium. NO ONE took me up on my offer that I made via twitter.com/HoustonWrasslin, but that's OK. We had a good time hanging out with some of the beautiful Beer Goddesses and tossing back a cold one to end off a great night.

Again, you can see all of the pictures, broken up by show, on the photos page which can be found at the top.

Now I haven't forgotten about the true indy wrestling scene here in Houston. There have been some shows rescheduled and cancelled, so I haven't been able to check any out. This weekend things are back up and running. I'll be going to the Cypress VFW Hall on 290 to see Tugboat Taylor's World of Wrestling. I ran into Silky Baines at the WWE show, and I'm looking forward to cheering him on again in just a couple of days.

There's a CFW show in Texas City on Saturday, but I'm skipping that in favor or BEER! I plan on going to the new St. Arnold's Brewery that afternoon and then I'm going to my buddy Bill's annual party in the Heights. Since these events involve beer and most likely women, look for photos of them on Sunday!

That's it for now. I should have WOW photos and video up on early Saturday morning and more fun stuff to come! Leave a comment and let me know what you think or what else you might like to see.

Love always,
