My Smackdown/ECW Experience: Moline, IL **Spoilers Included**

Hello Everybody,

My name is Jeremy Rushing, i've been a wrestling fan since i was 4 years old and i am the newest WWE writer for the Bleacher Report.  Every week i will post a blog about my thoughts on the events of the week and my thoughts on the current state of WWE.  Last night Smackdown and ECW invaded my hometown of Moline, Illinois and me and my friend Colin went.  Our day started at around 11 am when we went down to the I Wireless Center to catch a glimpse of the wrestlers entering the arena.  While we were there we saw the Big Show, Vladimir Kozlov, and i actually saw Vinny Mac.  After about 45 minutes at the arena we went to a local car dealership where MVP was signing autographs.  After standing in line for around 20 minutes MVP signed my latest issue of WWE The Magazine.  After that we went to Hooters for lunch and went home to chill before we went to the show.

Now, Moline itself is a relatively small town, but its apart of the Quad Cities, USA.  Which is made up of four small towns.  Which make a pretty big area.  The Quad Cities are located on the mississippi river and consist of Moline Illinois, Rock Island Illinois, Bettendorf Iowa, and Davenport Iowa.  The WWE usually comes once a year.  Ok enough about where i live, lets get to the show shall we.

Me and my friend colin got to the arena about 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.  Evidentally the WWE is going to change their logo and had people vote for 5 different logo's.  Some of them were really intriguing.  Our tickets were in the lower bowl right about at the start of the horseshoe.  3/4 of the Upper Bowl was tarped off and it took a while but once ECW started the lower bowl really started to fill up. 

Dark Match

Tony Atlas came out first and introduced some Japanese guy that "he's been searching the world for".  After the Japanese guy's entrance, Jamie Noble's music hit and he came out to a pretty good pop, The Japanese guy won in about 5 minutes, pretty good match to get the crowd fired up.
