RAW: Detailed Notes & Dark Matches-2.9.09, Oakland, CA.
Posted by Brian Berry on 02.10.2009
A HUGE off-air main event for the World Heavyweight Championship highlights Monday Night Raw in Oakland, Ca...
The Oracle Arena in Oakland was SOLD OUT and rightfully so. WWE usually comes to the San Jose Arena and skips over Oakland. Oakland loves heels.
Pre-Monday Night Raw Dark Matches
*Jamie Noble pins TJ Wilson (w/ beer bellied valet)-
Wilson, from Toronto, was supposed to be the face but this changed quickly after a "U.S.A." chant followed by a "Let's go Noble" cheer that I started. Good 10 minute opener.
*John Morrison pins Goldust (w/ The Miz)
Surprisingly big pop for Goldust. Poor chemistry, short match.
Off-Air Main Event: Street Fight for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
*John Cena pins Randy Orton
Fun 15 minute match that started right after Ted Dibiase was escorted to the back. Some really strong spots with Cena winning with the F-U after two RKO attempts and a microphone shot to Cena's head.
Notes
-Jericho's mic was so low that we could hardly hear him talk during the opening sequence.
-John Cena, Randy Orton, and Chris Jericho drew the most mixed reactions of the night.
-Rapper E-40 was in attendance at ringside and the fans were all over him.
-After RAW went off-air, Shane did a little more dancing, and the fans ate it up.
-Tons of William Regal marks in the crowd.
-Kane looked terrible, missing several spots in the 6-man tag. Don't know how this will play on TV. Tons of Jericho marks in the crowd.
BIGGEST POPS
1. The Undertaker (by a mile)
2. Shane McMahon
3. Ric Flair
4. John Cena
5. Shawn Michaels
BIGGEST HEAT
1. JBL
2. Chris Jericho
3. Randy Orton
4. John Cena
5. Oakland Raiders sitting at ringside
At what point was JBL getting any heat? He got nearly no reaction during the promo. Jericho sounded 20x more over than of the heels tonight.

*Sigh* It's not the F-U anymore, it's the THROWBACK! Or something else kid-friendly.

God damn you Sacramento, the cheering for Shane on tv was bad enough but for them to have kept on eating up his antics after the camera is even worse. You Sacramento idiots make me ashamed to be from California myself.

I was so confused as to why the Raiders were getting booed. Fuck SF and the goddamn Niners. Both teams suck, but come on, have some hometown pride. Well, nevermind, it IS Oakland were talking about. Nevermind.

No fan beat downs?
I guess it was a one shot deal.

The "FU" will now be called the "attitude adjuster", so as to not leave a bad impression on our young and impressionable WWE universe. VINTAGE!!!!

Lol at biggest pops..
Shawn and Cena can't even outpop 3 parttime/retired wrestlers..

There's nothing "surprising" about Goldust's big pop. He's a living legend.

Its the "Attitude Adjustment" not the "FU" anymore HA what a load of shit!

Who was the beer bellied valet? Also, it's not the "FU" it's the "Candy Cane Lane Protected Slam".
