10 Fun Facts About My Trip To WWE WrestleMania XIX
6. Going To Spokane To See Sable Return
In my last article about attending WrestleMania events, I went into detail about the strange Red Roof Inn receptionist, Matt, who kindly drove us the 6 hours to Spokane to see the Post-WrestleMania SmackDown, only for us to find out when we got there that he wasnt even going to the show.
When we got to the arena and he told us hed just hang around outside, I felt pretty bad. I bought him a Coke and a Hot Dog to alleviate my guilt and off we went to my first SmackDown taping. It was a pretty fun show that included everything from an Undertaker versus Rey Mysterio match to a completely bonkers Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon segment.
The highlight for me, however, was the return of Sable. Marc Meros former wife interrupted Torrie Wilson to say she was back in the WWE and that there was room for both of them in the company. I cant really explain why I went so mental for Sables re-emergence like Steve Austin had just walked through the curtain, but as an Attitude Era teenager, it was a great, very surprising return.
Was the Spokane trip worth the six hour drive each way and waking up in a field with Matt watching us sleep, proclaiming he was 'just resting'?
Ummm, for the purposes of writing this list, I guess it was.
