[quote name='diddy310']Pretty decent McIntyre/Morrison match from Superstars...liked the slide between the legs countered into the curb stomp[/QUOTE]

Now he's jobbing to McIntyre, on a show that doesnt even air anymore except outside of the US? That's a new low for being in the doghouse.
 
[quote name='mightymek']Got my Wrestlemania tickets this morning. Very excited. I've been to a handful of Raws and house shows, but never a PPV, so I am even more excited my first PPV will be Wrestlemania! Got some good seats as well. Not the crazy expensive floor seats, but lower level seats that are still more than I should have spent. Cheapest tickets were $25 plus charges I think, for corner nosebleeds. I got ones for $151 including fees. Not too bad. I can't wait![/QUOTE]

I was kind of peeved that Florida got another Wrestlemania so quickly. We just had one a couple years ago, and, more importantly, that's not at all where I live. Then again, there's probably never going to be a Wrestlemania in fucking Ohio.

[quote name='guyver2077']anyone know anything about the price ranges for mania tix?

It baffles me that theres absolutely no info on wwe.com or ticketmaster[/QUOTE]

Roughly $25-to-$7,500.

I can't even think of a good venue for it. The Horseshoe would be best I think, but it's outdoors in early April in Ohio. Meaning a good chance of snow and a better chance of temperatures in the 40s. Disappointing that my best chance at seeing Wrestlemania live was probably when they did it in Detroit.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']That's not bad. I was looking at NHL Winter Classic tickets the other day. fuck that noise. $508 for two tickets because they make you buy a 3-game package (AHL winter classic expo, NHL HOF game or whatever they call it).

So, yeah, WWE may be what it is, however $25 for WrestleMania tickets is pretty good - even if the seats are shitty as all get out.[/QUOTE]

Depending on how the entrance is set up, there might be seats that aren't sold behind it and are still high enough to see the action in the ring. I moved down with some friends at WM 20 so we could sit closer to the ring from some higher up $50 seats at MSG. No ushers cared.
 
Loved the street fight - it was the match they should've had at the PPV. Cody using the baggers as a Prinny squad ruled. Liked Randy's mounted punches on the guardrail - haven't seen that spot before - draping DDT off the rail looked great too. Cody delivering the mask shot, resulting in the mask winding up bloody made for an interesting visual. They went a hour hour and really made this match seem like not only the blowoff, but about as close to Cody's Orton post-Foley match vibe as possible given the iffy booking. Cody lost, but it took a long time for Orton to put him away, and they seemingly killed the mask, bags, and bagger gimmick AFTER the feud in which he needed them to be gone for Cody to be taken seriously. Better late than never, I guess. Ted-Kidd was a great little Superstars match on SD. Punk needs to ask Kidd for help on his flying elbow, like now. Dug the rollthrough Dream Street finish, really could have done without the Twitter discussion, but at least Booker tried to steer things back on the match. Nattie-Alicia was okay, although Alicia's new flip legdrop finisher looks terrible. Also, her theme and its Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-party title are awful. Enjoyed the Show-Christian stuff, they should have done decent matches together too.

Dug the Danielson-Henry confrontation. Barrett-Sheamus felt like every other match they've had, but that's fine because they're always at least good. Christian getting involved at the finish protected Sheamus, but the schoolboy finish is played out, and the win didn't really help Barrett much. Interested in this Barrett/Christian alliance. Danielson and Show had some funny chemistry together backstage. I like Show as the protector/bodyguard type. Loved Cole and Booker's banter about journalism. Josh talking about THE FAVE FIVE CURSE was tremendous. Epico stood out with the back suplex>German suplex combo...and Booker calling him Ep CUZ HE JUST LOOKS LIKE AN EP! Dug the post-match beatdown by Team Ico. Maybe their tandem powerbomb finisher can be called the Shadow of the Colossus. I liked doing Danielson-Henry now since he's just coming back from the losing streak, they're getting closer to the end of the year and NEED to at least get Danielson in the main event mix if they're actually going to have him in the world title match at 'Mania. Good David and Goliath match with some submission attempts by Danielson. Henry going all Vader on him in the corner with punches and headbutts was awesome and by having Show get involved, they found a great way to further the Show-Henry feud, while also getting Henry further over as a killer, get Danielson in the main event mix, and protect him with a DQ loss that wasn't his fault.

Yeah. One of the last WWE shows I went to (2005? 2004?) I sat in these seats. I could clearly see backstage, and recall Big Show (who was feuding w/ Eddie Guerrero at the time) walking backstage using a cane.

I also recall being drunk as hell and trying to walk down to the backstage area so I could yell at the Undertaker. Don't recall why.

Death wish?

Thanks folks, I'll be here all day.
 
Nah, it was something smart-marky.

I remember being *pissed* that we had to sit through a 10 minute video promo by Stephanie McMahon setting up some match with Vince. No Mercy 2005? 2004?

I was a smart mark. I demanded 20-minute puro-style matches!

I swore off WWE shows after that. The next show that came to town at the time was a Raw. You remember the match b/w Shelton Benjamin and HBK where the match finish was a fucking *gorgeous* springboard (something?) by Benjamin right into HBK's superkick.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_DnRxJmhik

(man, the dude in the sleeveless yellow shirt makes that spot so much better).

Upon recollection, I've been to a WWE show here and there since then. I did go to Cyber Sunday...2007? Whichever one Kevin Federline showed up at.
 
I take it ROH is trying to appeal more to the casual wrestling fan, but this week's episode is entirely too promo-heavy. There's only been one match in first 30 minutes and the rest has been talky segments (to be fair the first one was to hype the Final Battle main event, but still).

Can't believe this hasn't been posted here yet. On that note to be fair ROH last week was fairly wrestling heavy with three matches on the show. So it kinda balanced out with this week's more promo heavy show. Sadly the promos on this week's show was the best part of the show as both matches this week were pretty bland and uninspired. Oh well.

man.. that's the tye dye guy, I used to run into him all the time at WCW PPVs and Nitros back in the late 90s.. He used to goto any wrestling event in the southeast, then I started noticing him at shows up north too.. That dude must have some serious cash to be able to goto all those shows. Does anyone else know anything about that guy?
 
Between the opening promo and the tag main event, I'm sick of any combo of Cena vs. Miz/Truth. Cena’s pandering was sickening in the opening, especially when he made Miz and Truth the butt of jokes AGAIN, but Miz and Truth were fantastic until the botched IT DOESN’T MATTER… bit. Mason-JTG should've been on Superstars, although I'm digging Mason's finisher - he does it slightly better than his old wacky spinning thing. Loved the anonymous GM sign in the background. Morrison-Ziggler was a very good TV match, and a pleasant surprise since they seem to be re-invested in Morrison. Between him winning and them saying the losing streak was a “mental issue”, I think he’s back in their good graces since dropping Melina. If so, he had a career-saving match here. Dolph’s selling of the Chuck kick was amazing. Team Barrett vs. Team Orton was announced…why Cody isn’t the leader of the team I have no idea since HE IS A CHAMPION and Barrett has no issue with Orton. I guess they’ll set this up with an angle on SD, in which case, it seems odd to announce the match now.

WWE IS TAKING THE SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD BY STORM WITH A GOOGLE PLUS SITE! Isn’t your world just totally changed now? J..R.-Cole, one of two things advertised for this show, after not happening last week, was bumped from this show as well. And the company wonders why people don’t believe what they say. Oh, and Alberto faced Kofi too. During it, King actually asked why Punk doesn’t deserve a shot. Cole said he didn’t deserve it, which is true, since he didn’t actually beat anyone to earn a shot and has lost on 4 or 5 PPVs in a row. Match was fine, and I’m glad they had Punk come out and cut a promo because their feud needed SOMETHING to make it seem like it mattered at all, and this was at least something. Something bad for Del Rio, since they had Punk say that people fast forward through Alberto’s promos and that he‘s made the WWE Title boring. Ugh. At least Alberto kicked his ass after being insulted…and then getting attacked by Punk again. Swagger got his revenge for last week’s loss by beating Santino, so…good for him. Kelly’s Maxim cover got unveiled. I WONDER IF IT TRENDED ON TWITTER! For some reason, Cole saying that Nash was now an employee of WWE after being signed as a superstar amused me. Nash’s promo was really good given what he’s been doing since his return, but he contradicted himself numerous times (which I’m surprised weren’t edited off) and then the line that will probably live on as THE defining one for this run, where he took advantage of HHH like he was a little kid, was hilarious.

WWE then nixed the OTHER thing they advertised for this show - Brodus’s return, and had Punk cut an annoying promo, which led to Alberto kicking his ass and throwing him through a table. GO ALBERTO! Cena and Ryder faced Truth and Miz, giving you ¾ of the next PPV’s main event for free since they actually had a full match. They’re clearly banking on Rock to do all the business for the show because they’ve set it up to fail in every other way, and really haven’t been doing him any favors by killing some of his credibility with a shitty reason to team with Cena and then having Cena STILL get a dig in AT THE GUY WHO AGREED TO SAVE HIM…from a team he beat up twice on his own. LOVED Cena using a single-leg takedown to get the better of Miz early, and his stiff push to Truth. Truth’s hard bump to the floor where his head bounced was pretty insane. Double five knuckle shuffle spot was funny - especially when they showed a TURN CENA FACE sign during it. And then Miz and Truth cheated to win thanks to Truth holding Cena’s leg down. So they won, but didn’t really look strong or even threatening in winning.

MORTAL KOMBAT!


Quotes -
Cena - Rock couldn’t make it tonight (wink) BUT HE ACCEPTED MY INVITATION TO BE MY TAG TEAM PARTNER! The entire WWE Universe isn’t talking about this week’s Raw - THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT NEXT WEEK’S, BECAUSE FINALLY THE ROCK COMES BACK TO RAW! Trust me, it’ll be good to see him - we’ll exchange pleasantries and Christmas cards, BUT WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT TONIGHT! TONIGHT IS A DAMN IMPORTANT NIGHT. IT’S THE FIRST TIME LIVERPOOL HAS HOSTED MONDAY NIGHT RAW! SO I SAY TONIGHT WE MAKE MAGIC, MOVE MOUNTAINS, AND THE MADNESS MEETS THE MANIA, BECAUSE TONIGHT THE MIZ AND R-TRUTH ARE IN A TAG MATCH WITH JOHN CENA AND A FUTURE HALL OF FAMER!
Miz - Really? A future hall of famer? REALLY? REALLY!? REALLY!? REALLY!? Funny, because I don’t see you teaming with Truth or myself tonight. Ya know, all week long, all I’ve heard is how last week, you embarrassed us. But what everyone needed to realize is that last week just upped the level of anguish we’re gonna put you through at Survivor Series! I did something that Edge, HHH, the Big Show, Batista, HBK, and the list goes on couldn’t do - I PINNED YOU AT WRESTLEMANIA AND RETAINED THE WWE TITLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT RING! You beat me and dropped Truth, and I’ve spent the past 7 days watching it in my mind over and over again and I hope you DVRed it and watched it over again because John, that’s the last time you’ll embarrass us again! ONCE BEFORE, BUT NEVER AGAIN WILL THAT HAPPEN TO US. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, TONIGHT, WE WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A LAST IMPRESSION YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!
Truth - Cena, do ya know what it’s like to have all the Little Jimmies laughing at ya!? I want these people to keep laughing, keep ya sense of humor - CHUCKLE IT UP AND DON’T WHAT ME! I promise ya this, won’t nobody be laughing after what happens at Survivor Series. As a matter of fact, you, Cena, won’t be laughing after what happens to you tonight! WHOEVER YOU TEAM UP WITH, THEY GONNA GET GOT!
Cena - OH NO, HIDE YA KIDS AND HIDE YA WIFE - TRUTH DUN LOST HIS MIND AGAIN! Look at Miz - he’s STEAMING MAD! I don’t know if you heard, my partner isn’t just any ordinary ssuperstar - HE HAS CAUGHT THE WORLD ON FIRE! HIS REP IS EXPANDING FASTER THAN THE UNIVERSE. HE’S THE FIFTH PEOPLE, THE NINE TIME QUARTER-FINALIST IN THE SPELLING BEE AND THE TENTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!
Miz - IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU’RE TEAMING UP AGAINST! YOUR TIME IS UP!
Cole - Vickie’s looking very Beatle-esque here tonight.
King - I don’t think they ever wore that skirt though.
Cole - Morrison says the losing streak is more a mental thing than a physical issue.
Cole - WWE CONTINUES TO TAKE THE SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD BY STORM! TODAY, WE HAVE LAUNCHED OUR NEW SOCIAL EXPERIENCE ON GOOGLE PLUS!
King - Depending on what happens in your challenge next week, THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST RAW!
Cole - If J.R. beat me, I’ll quit - but I’m confident in my ability to beat the Staypuft Marshmallow man.
King - Why doesn’t Punk deserve a title match?
Cole - I don’t think he’s earned it.
Punk - During everyone of your DESTINY speeches, everyone watching at home on DVR HITS FAST FORWARD! AND WHEN THEY FAST FORWARD, THEY DON’T MISS A DAMN THING DO THEY!
Alberto - Listen to me…
Punk - I’VE LISTENED TO YOU, THEY’VE LISTENED TO YOU, AND NOW YOU’LL LISTEN TO ME! I’VE LISTENED TO YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR DESTINY TIME IN AND TIME OUT. YOU’RE A HELL OF A COMPETITOR, BUT AT SURVIVOR SERIES, I’LL DO WHAT YOU CONSISTENTLY FAIL TO DO - MAKE THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP INTERESTING AGAIN!
Alberto - I’m the WWE Champion, AND THAT MAKES ME THE BEST IN THE WORLD! NOT YOU, ME! THE BEST IN THE WORLD! Are you gonna cancel that match at Survivor Series? Yes or no?
Punk - Let me think about it… I’m still thinking… NO!
Nash - First of all, I’d like to thank Mr. Laurinitis for bringing me back. For 2 weeks, everyone’s asked Why Nash why - I don’t owe anyone an explanation. The only one I do is sitting in Connecticut now with a headache. 1995. I watched you walk in the building - you had slacks on and a sports coat and were shadowing Killer Kowalski. I SHOULD’VE BURIED YOU THEN! No, but HBK sat at the monitor, watched you and said the kid’s got something and he’s funny. And I let you into our Kliq. You won me over, and we had something that’s so unusual in the business - a real friendship. I was honored to be at your wedding. And then the Rumble comes up - I GET WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BIGEST POP OF THE NIGHT. AND I call up my friend and say hey buddy, let’s put the band back together. Not only do I get a “NO” I DON’T EVEN GET A RESPONSE. YOU BETRAYED ME! YOU BETRAYED ME! WITHOUT ME, YOU’RE NOTHING! Yeah. You took our friendship and put a nice career together. I don’t care how anyone else sees it - HHH is the measuring stick around here. GIVE ME A HAS-BEEN LEGENDS CONTRACT! I STILL GOT IT - I’M THE BEST THERE IS. ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, I CUOLD BECOME WORLD CHAMPION! Ya know what I did? BOOKED MYSELF IN A MAIN EVENT MATCH! I took your sledgehammer and used it against you! I SAT FOR SIX HOURS, CONEMPLATING IT - WONDERING HOW I’D FEEL. IT FELT GOOD! As I walked out of the arena and looked on the monitor and saw you on the board, I thought I could do it again. YOU SAT THERE LIKE A HELPLESS LITTLE CHILD AND I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOU! WITH YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER! THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN! Nash just showed you that’s how you play the game!
Otunga - Wasn’t Brodus supposed to debut tonight?
Ace - David, Brodus is special - I can’t waste him in Liverpool. He needs to be seen by the most sophisticated audience - in America.
 
I turned off RAW the second Cena pretty much insinuated during his opening promo that the show wasn't worth watching this week. Oh and could they make Miz and Truth look any more weaker then to have Cena pretty much beat them on his own last week. Kind of makes the point of bringing in The Rock to help him pointless unless if the WWE plans to turn one of them heel at Survivor Series.
 
So I watched last nights Raw, why in the blue hell is Nash using the NWO music? Because he is a heel?
 
[quote name='JP']So I watched last nights Raw, why in the blue hell is Nash using the NWO music? Because he is a heel?[/QUOTE]

Why not use it? I would think that more people remember him with that music. Plus, he used it for some of his post WCW, WWE run with the WWE version of NWO. So, to me, it makes complete sense.
 
I only find it weird because it means that someone in WWE suddenly decided it was worth licencing again. My only guess is that they sucked it up and paid because of the Best of WCW and Nitro DVDs and decided to get their money's worth by having Nash use it.

Shame that it took so long, since it's exclusion really fucked up a lot of DVDs and games over the past few years. I have my fingers crossed that it made it into WWE '12, though I won't hold my breath.

(To explain... yes, there is a 'use your own music' feature, but after they fucked it up with 2011, I'd rather just have shit already in the game. Makes it easier.)
 
it is rather ironic that entrances, which seem (from a production standpoint) to be the most important part of the show (such that even run-ins get the absolutely nonsensical entrance music - the idea that producers have music on cue for people who show up spontaneously), get completely fucking *ruined* in DVD releases.

Taking Johnny Cash out of WM27 was borderline criminal on that note.
 
I like the "Will You Stop" Gorilla Monsoon one.

I started watching the Bret vs. Shawn bluray today and it is pretty compelling stuff. I had no idea that the Rockers wrestled the Hart Foundation in the Tokyo Dome in 1991 but yeah, there it is, all Japanese commentary and all.

The cutting up of entrances is pretty much the only reason I don't own the WM27 bluray yet. If they ever get their shit together and release all the past WMs in one box set on bluray with minimal cuts, I'll probably be down. I still don't own any of them and someday I might need to watch Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect from WM 9.

Listening to the clip, I was partially giggling at the fact that they didn't bother to edit "dah-boo-yoo dah-boo-yoo eh-fuu" out of the audio there. And I'm not sure what Masa Saito's relationship to the WWF was at the time such that the announcers kept referring to him (who was also on commentary) as "WWF Saito."

I'd never heard of "SWS" before seeing it on that Blu-Ray. Turns out it was a promotion started by Tenryu after he left All Japan. Lasted about 2 years, had a modest relationship with the WWF (as evidenced by this match and the totally odd and underpromoted tag match at WM8 b/w Demolition and Tenryu/Kitao).

Speaking of Kitao, it seems he has a legacy of never living up to expectations. He was a disgraced former yokozuna turned pro wrestler - and he didn't last very long at that, either. Check out this 9-minute match with John Tenta. Kitao decided to go into business for himself and the match quickly turns into a shoot. It's slow, it's plodding, there's little "action," but there's a ton of intensity. After this match, Kitao got on the mic and declared wrestling to be fake. So he was fired thereafter.

Won't happen - the WWF edits alone will render the first 17-18 unwatchable. I've slowly been buying up the US WWF dvd releases and compensating with the Silvervision "tagged classics" releases. They're unedited (sorta) releases in 2-disc sets, each DVD containing the Coliseum Video release of each WWF PPV. There are some cut/edited segments in the Coliseum releases (mostly matches are cut down because we want entertainments, not wrestling matches). But they are few and largely hard to notice. The upside is all the video and audio is intact. It's a trade-off.

Besides, I think WWF used to used television cameras for their programming, so Blu-Ray won't ever do much justice to the video quality. Or the other way around, I mean.

No fucking kidding. The hardest part about the entire story is listening to Hart whinge about someone else's ego as a means of seeking sympathy and understanding.

I actually live in western PA. My job, however, basically requires me to travel to eastern PA for most of September-November. Lancaster was out of the ordinary for me, since I'm usually closer to Philly (Delaware, Chester, Montgomery counties, etc).

I had no idea you were based in that part of the state. I'll keep that in mind if I have the same travel territory next year.

In the least shocking news of the day, Wrestling Observer is saying that Evan Bourne was one of several WWE Superstars™ who smoked synthetic marijuana at a party recently; Bourne was the lowest on the card of them all, and the only one who was punished.

yeah. no shit.
