August 25, 2013

I attended the WWE Live Event in Las Cruces, NM on August 24. Though many of the wrestlers booked for this event were re-booked for the California event, it still turned out to be a decent show.

(DZ found a sign saying “Langston needs pants” and started a chant

Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio for the WHC

After the show CM Punk grabbed a sign from the stands and thanked everyone for coming but talked about not forgetting where he came from holding up the sign that said “Eddie Guerrero Country”
