[quote name='mykevermin']Chris Sabin is coming back to Impact's X Division.

Him and Petey? fuckin' a, man.[/QUOTE]

Curious to see how long it takes them to bring back Alex Shelley since the only face tag team they have is Hernandez/Chavo.
 
All this talk of crowd noise makes me disappointed since it was obviously edited out and muffled to hell by the time I got to watch it here on the left coast.
 
I'm kinda surprised that there isn't some sort of NDA that accompanies live show tickets. I mean they do realize that there were thousands of people watching the thing live, right? They have to expect that those people will speak about what happened there. Editing a tv broadcast doesn't do much good these days.

So the west coast feed was edited? That's gotta suck.

Finally got to watch what my crappy DVR recorded. Man, that crowd really took a crap on Orton & Sheamus last night. Pretty bad that even Cole got a chant during that match. I bet Vince was having a fit backstage most of the night due to that crowd.
 
So I finally watched Raw all the way through. Last night, is a perfect example on why there should be cameras back stage for behind the scenes purposes at all times. I swear Trips/McMahon had to be having a god damn shit fit with that crowd.

However that crowd probably helped their business too. Anyone who may have been on the fence on Raw shows the next month that might not have been sold out, boom they see Raw last night and the fucking good time the crowd was having, tickets sold.
 
A conspiracy theorist would say that Trips knew the crowd would be wrestlemania holdovers and bonkers, and thus kept himself off the show for that reason. Think of how few participants in the "main event" matches were actually on the show last night: Undertaker and Cena. That's it.

Sure, the SD crowd might be the same way, but they have three days of postproduction to fix those issues (like cheering massively for the guy they're turning heel).
 
I think WWE editing the PST repeat shows exactly how they feel about a.) not being in complete control of their product to include atmosphere, and b.) fun.

Diddy might be right on the money if WWE changes Fandango's entrance music—which would be a shame.

So... I got around to watching half of PWG's "Mystery Vortex" PPV from December 2012. Been a while since I watched some PWG. Years. And with my modern day brain, PWG reminds me of why I fell in love with pro wrestling.

Kevin Steen does commentary for the first two matches. The first/opening match is The Young Bucks versus The Dojo Bros. (Roderick Strong and Eddie Edwards) and it just blows the roof off the place. I'm watching this, just marking out. Kevin Steen, on commentary, just marking out. Just a feel-good experience as a wrasslin fan.

I will be ordering the discs for All Star Weekend 9 when they become available. PWG feels like a kindred spirit.
 
[quote name='Habbler']Daniel Bryan is the Spike Dudley of the Brothers of Destruction.[/QUOTE]
His new shirt is his face in the middle of a pentagram. The goat in the pentagram as part of the brothers of destruction.

There are reports of the crowd in line for tonight's smackdown were humming the fandango theme music. What sucks is we wont hear unedited audio from Smackdown tonight.
 
Are you sure it was edited? I was watching the USA HD version for west coast and it didnt seem like they did (went to Youtube to compare and it sounded the same).
 
I'm watching the Hulu Plus version and outside of the usual cut segments the crowd chants are intact.

Edit: Yes that includes Fandango's match. If the WWE is smart they should take the ball and run with this. But they won't.

[quote name='HydroX']The crowd easily made what was a 'B-' (at best) RAW show into an 'A+'.

If you didn't enjoy watching that show, you are being way too god damn critical of the product. At this point, there's no satisfying you. Just go.

For anyone wanting to relive the moment....

I've watched that same video at least 15 times since last night.

Nope, not close to getting old.
 
With the crowd's reaction to Fandango's theme (which is close to cracking the Top 20 on iTunes in the UK -- no joke!), Vince is probably telling everyone "I told you so!"

Edit: :rofl:

Triple H's body is scarred up with 2nd degree burns he suffered at WrestleMania last weekend ... but he wasn't scorched by fire ... the culprit was dry ice.

HHH suffered nasty burns to his torso and arm after he walked through a special effects machine that was blasting dry ice to create a smoky effect as the wrestler made his grand entrance.

The dry ice stuck to H3's body and burned him up ... but during the event, Triple H ignored the pain and shrugged it off like it was no big deal.

Some awesome ROH news today!

[quote name='ROHWrestling.com']Ring of Honor returns to Toronto & The Ted Reeve Arena on May 4th for our "Border Wars 2013" iPPV event and on May 5th for our first ever international "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV Taping! As announced several weeks ago, multi-time GHC Champion Naomichi Marufuji and GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori will participate in both huge events.

‪ROH officials are ecstatic to tell our fans worldwide that all of the details have been finalized on Marufuji & Ishimori's involvement, the matches have been signed, and we can now announce to you their respective bouts for each day!

‪First, at "Border Wars 2013" on Saturday May 4th it will be:

- NON-TITLE: GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori vs. Eddie Edwards

‪Part of the BRAVE unit alongside Marufuji, Morishima, and Sugiura, amongst others, Ishimori is coming off a successful title defense over fellow BRAVE member Ricky Marvin on March 31st and has an impending defense against Genba Hirayanagi scheduled for this Saturday April 13th. Edwards, who is quite familiar with Ishimori from his time spent touring with NOAH as well as training in their Dojo, will head into Toronto coming off a loss at "Supercard of Honor VII" against reDRagon. In addition, Edwards will also be returning from NOAH after participating in the Global Tag League along with one of the men who beat him in NYC in Bobby Fish.

- Naomichi Marufuji vs. Davey Richards

‪In a rematch of their "Final Battle 2007" clash available on the "Davey Richards: The American Wolf" DVD set, the highly decorated Naomichi Marufuji returns to ROH after a lengthy absence to collide with Davey one-on-one! From his first bout inside the ROH ring at "Final Battle 2005" until his last at "Final Battle 2008", Marufuji has always been a favorite of the ROH faithful and his return is one met with great anticipation. Prior to coming back to ROH, Marufuji & Suiguira will represent BRAVE in the Global Tag League ‪in which Edwards & Fish are also participating.

Davey, as with Eddie, is coming off a big loss at "Supercard of Honor VII" in their tag title bout and is looking to get back on the winning track with this international dream match. It is also safe to assume that Davey would love to even the record books for that loss he suffered back in 2007 and truly show how much he has grown as an athlete in the years since. Either way, this is certainly one contest that the eyes of the wrestling world will be watching.

Then at the "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV Taping May 5th:

- NON-TITLE: GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori vs. Roderick Strong

At "Northern Navigation" on July 25, 2008 it was Marufuji who had his hand raised at the Ted Reeve Arena after defeating Roderick in a bout available here on the "Roderick Strong: Messiah of the Backbreaker" DVD set. Now, nearly 5 years later, Roderick returns to the scene of the crime to face off with another NOAH superstar in Taiji Ishimori. Strong is hoping use a victory over Ishimori to get back on the winning track, particularly after his recent losses to Michael Elgin at the "11th Anniversary Event" & Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson at "Supercard of Honor VII", and prove he deserves to be back in the World Title picture.

- Naomichi Marufuji vs. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin

In addition to earning a future World Title match by beating Lethal at "SoH VII", Elgin also clashed with Anderson over the recent weekend in New York City in a must-see bout that will air in the coming weeks on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV. Suffice it to say that Elgin was put to the test by "Machine Gun" and now looks to another test of epic proportions when he collides with Marufuji on 5/5 in Toronto. In his battles with Richards, Steen, and Strong over the course of the last year "Unbreakable" has shown he is truly a world class athlete and now he will have the opportunity to demonstrate that once more on an international stage when he steps into the ring with one of the most decorated wrestlers in Puroresu history.[/quote]

Ah, so that shit that looked like he got came on by a clown orgy was dry ice? Damn, H, you a cold ass honky.
 
Yeah, they announced they would be there a little while back but the actual match announcements are new. I'm really looking forward to it.

If anyone is still considering getting the replay of Supercard of Honor I highly recommend it. Between Elgin/Lethal, American Wolves/reDRagon and Briscoe/Steen it's a definite winner. Also, the problems from the live stream have been eliminated.
 
http://www.theonion.com/articles/wrestlemania-29-marred-by-inconsistent-officiating,32002/

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Following the conclusion of WrestleMania 29, professional wrestling fans confirmed Sunday that the pay-per-view event was spoiled due to the erratic officiating work of the referee crew. “I know these guys have a lot on their plates, but the number of missed calls I saw was just ridiculous,” said viewer Calvin Overstreet, who expressed frustration with the World Wrestling Entertainment officials' inconsistent enforcement of the rulebook, “nonchalant” three-counts, and tendency to allow themselves to be distracted from the matches by various WWE divas perched on the ring apron. “At one point, Brock Lesnar hit Triple H with a steel folding chair and the ref didn't do a thing about it. Even if he was still disoriented from getting suplexed into the announcer’s table, he could have gone to the replay booth and gotten the call right. Unbelievable.” At press time, the WWE had reviewed the officiating at WrestleMania 29 as well as other events, and announced plans to vacate every single match result for the last 60 years.

Love the Onion.
 
Damn, Orton-Sheamus got absolutely shat upon by the fallout crowd. A huge majority of the chants came during that one match.
 
Impact thoughts -

WORLD'S WORST TENANTS HAS A FLAMETHROWER and TNA has tables, ladders, and even chairs! AJ's portion of the opening video involved too much of Anderson talking. I like that the tag titles got some focus during the video, and they recapped the Bully-Hardy deal nicely too while even giving the KOs some time to shine. Hardy met with Hogan to start the show in what I'm guessing is the Smurf section of the building judging by how blue it is. Great Impact Live video opening running down the cast of major characters with nice artsy shots of them. The Mexicans are out and thankfully not speaking, with some boxer waving the Texas flag for them. Chavo's theme is heat-death. A fan held up a WHERE'S PEPE sign for them. Thanks to a sneak attack, the champs got the first fall in maybe a minute. Then the faces won with a flash cradle, making the third fall occur maybe two minutes in. Hernandez got chucked into the steps to add some drama to the hot tag. Ramp to ring Air Mexico double clothesline ruled.

Three Amigos on Aries, then Roode, got a light Eddie chant. Air Mexico flew again and hit Chavo accidentally, but only for two. Tremendous nearfall there. Double suplex counter by Supermex led to a frog splash win. Really good match from the Mexicans and the wacky heels once again. Brooke Hogan's nipples walked backstage. They've got a new wacky ShopTNA ad hyping Dixie's figures, POSTING PHOTOS OF YOU WITH HER FIGURE, and possibly winning CRAZY PRIZES! The Aces who can ride motorcycles rode them into the building. I loved Joseph Park being call corny and Taz mocking him for talking so wackily. Joseph Park knows divorce code, and he's got annulment papers for Bully and Brooke. I wonder if he's Mr. Bully or Mr. Ray on the document. Devon came out and ripped it up. I hope they do a skit where Joseph charges by the minute to reprint it. An epic Gail-Taryn vid was up, and Kenely ended the segment with Taryn stretching by saying "the only thing separating these two is the break". I'm sure he meant the women and not her breasts, but that was funny.

Taryn shook her ass wonderfully before this grudge match, and ODB's the new KOs ref with a black and white shirt...due to black handprints on her tits. Taryn won via a schoolgirl after Gail's attempt to win via cheating again backfired thanks to ODB. They showed Pearce with his massive shorts and Magno backstage - Gut Cheeeeeccckk is next. Danny Davis's yellow tie and red shirt were wacky. "Mango" didn't impress Al. For the live portion backstage, Snow was back in his wacky brown jacket, while Davis was in a better-looking black and red suit and shirt combo. Prichard's promo was super-echoey. Adam Pearce was cut from the pre-cut section, so Magno gets his chance later. Tremendous video on AJ led to Hogan saying that HE CAN'T THINK ABOUT THE WORLD TITLE DUE TO AJ. Birds chirped while AJ met with Anderson. He said stuff, but I couldn't pay attention to it because of birds chirping in the background. This angle rules just due to the comedy potential in it that TNA is more than happy to replay over and over again.

Hogan came down, called this building the Impact Zone, and said HYAH HYAH HYAH for some reason. Storm came down, cut a short promo, and then Bad Influence came down, and told Toby Keith to leave. CD's a John Byrne guy. Daniels tried to win him over, and brought up the Claire Lynch deal being bad, BUT NOT AS BAD AS DIXIE CARTER NOT TRUSTING HIM! AJ pouted and joined no one. Hogan, for some reason, made AJ fight a babyface in Storm while trying to win him over and make him see the light. AJ left to presumably go to Hot Topic before they close.

Angle cut a promo in the locker room, looking 900 years old, and announced a handicap match next week with Wes and Garett. Joey's out to face a guy with a Terminator tron...ROB TERRY! The Tarrynator! A very orange Rob Terry won with the fireman's carry spinebuster in a couple of minutes.

Magno's pacing backstage because GGYYYUUTTT CHEECCCKKK is next. But first, THE WACKY SHOPTNA ad. Brooke and Hogan met in the Joker wing, full of green and purple paint. Brooke's coming down DESPITE HOGAN'S INSISTENCE. Dun dun dun! Heel turn's a comin, and Morgan's a shit-stirrer again. Morgan comes off as a Z-rate '03 O'Haire imitator. They said Magno was from Texas, and the fans still booed him. Davis voted no along with the fans, so he had to kick out, and he tried to cut a promo in English. Tried. God bless him. He got "no" voted by Bruce as well IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. Then Anderson cut a promo with Bully reciting their catchphrase, and Bully said that tonight, HE NEEDS TO GO IT ALONE. Seems a bit soon to show any likeable parts to him. Anderson was beyond annoying again. I think he's only in the gang so they can draw and quarter him on TV.

They hyped up last week's One Night Only PPV and ran down next week's card, now with Mickie-Tess for a KO title shot and during Storm-AJ, Taz brought up Hogan just making AJ's decision to join the Aces easier. Hardy came down at 9:35, so this is getting a ton of time. They showed Brooke, WHO IS REALLY ONLY THERE TO SEE THE LOOK ON BULLY'S FACE WHEN HE LOSES. Honest. Bully came out standing on the barricade looking like a badass. The poor fan next to Brooke with a giant Aces sign got no attention. Loved the guy in a GWAR shirt in 2013. Shocking start with a Twisto stunner and poetry in motion. Unlike saying IT WAS THE 29TH ULTIMATE X MATCH IN COMPANY HISTORY on the PPV, Tenay saying this was only the seventh FMM match actually seemed impressive. Bully got the edge with a backdrop to the ramp, which made a great thud that they totally missed on the replay.

SUPERPLEX OFF THE LADDER helped him out a bit before the break. Hardy took a sick bump on his ribs and legs on the inner part of the ladder. Love Bully doing the Hogan ear cup while the fans chanted for Jeff. Bully Ray took a flip bump for a basement dropkick - amazing. Brooke struggled with her top, then flipped off Bully. Swanton off the top to the floor through a table got a muted holy shit chant. Come on - even WWE let that through on Raw. Taz gave Bully a hidden hammer, which unlike A BARB WIRE 2X4, actually made sense to hide near an announce table and Bully won after a hammer bonk on top of the ladder, knocking Hardy through a table. Outstanding match, great show, and Bully closing it with an asshole promo was great.

Damn I was wrong. i was sure that the whole angle of BUlly having her at ringside was going to evolve into her turning heel and becoming his loving wife. Even felt stronger about it when they had the promo where Bully told the gang to stay away from the match. Oh well, can't win them all.
 
At the very least, I thought they would do something where she sort of, maybe accidentally, cost Jeff the match but nah.

Translation: I'm too fucking lazy to simply take 2 secs to scroll past a lengthy post :roll:
 
Yeah, because spoiler tags just a few minutes after a show ends is a ludicrous expectation. I see your :roll: and raise you a :roll:. At least Jay realized it and fixed it. You post implies something that clearly didn't happen. :roll: indeed.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']In summation, shut the fuck up, Zen Davis.[/QUOTE]

Wait, I'm confused. Am I Zen Davis? Who's supposed to shut up? What's going on?
