Wrestling at MetroCentre a hit, tell me more about your local entertainment experiences

5 comments August 18th, 2008

 I was out of town on Friday and Saturday and didn’t make it to the big wrestling show at the MetroCentre Friday night. An editor for our sister paper, Espejo, took pictures and they ran at rrstar.com on Saturday. But we didn’t have a story.

Which brings me to this invitation to you: If you went to an event in the Rockford area that we did or didn’t cover, and you want to tell everybody about your take on it, I invite you to do so via my blog. Just post your short “story” here or e-mail me at gbraun@rrstar.com.

Here’s a write-up about the WWE show from Matt Mohr, the marketing and sales director at the MetroCentre in Rockford:

“The WWE Supershow Friday night was a huge success. We had over 6500 in attendance and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. This was probably the best card we have ever had with the heavy weight champion CM Punk and WWE Champion Triple H and most of the stars on the WWE power 25 list. The last fight of the night with Triple H, CM Punk and John Cena vs William Regal, JBL and the 7′3″ 420 lb Great Kahli had the crowd on their feet. I think the fans will be talking about this WWE appearance for a long time to come.”
