Wayne B. Millard sent this along:
Ryan,
I live about 45 minutes out of Columbus, so my wife and I took an 11-year-old that we are matched with by Big Brothers Big Sisters to RAW. We were in the 4th row ringside.
The crowd seemed really into it.
Lillian came out first and introduced the dark match. It was Jamie Nobel vs. Sheamus O’Shaunessy, with Sheamus taking the win.
Michael Cole and Jerry The King were introduced next. The superstar taping was Big Show vs. Hornswoggle. Big Show placed Hornswoggle on the rope and lied down. After talking Hornswoggle into doing a frog splash, Big Show rolled away while Hornswoggle was mid-air. He tried it again, but Goldust ran down, causing the end of the match after the two of them (BS and GD) fought.
Lillian shot t-shirts to the crowd, then they taped RAW.
After RAW was over, our dark match was changed. It was advertised as 2-on-3 (Batista and John Cena vs. Legacy), but ended up John Cena and Batista vs. Big Show and Randy Orton. Very good match. Batista was bleeding heavily on his face (appeared to be a blade job). End came when Cena did the Attitude Adjustor on Big Show and scored the pin while while Batista handled Randy Orton on the outside.
After the match, Lillian Garcia took pictures with ringside fans.
