Going in to this show I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to like it. But I usually try to go in to these shows with an open mind. I figure if I’m going to be spending 3 hours watching something, I may as well at least try to enjoy it. I [...]

So, I apparently have fallen in to an “only watch one show” pattern.

1) The show kicked off with the VIP Lounge. The “curtain came up” and MVP was on his cell phone. He let go some dead air when he finished up his phone call, starting the show on HIS time. Really [...]

The first Friday night that I haven’t been remote for Smackdown in quite some time… go figure it’s on Halloween.

1) I’ve accepted Jon Morrison in to my life and I think you all should, too. I mean, the guy is now outlining his abs with glitter. It takes a certain level of awesome [...]

To be honest, I’ve never been entirely in to the Cyber Sunday idea. Basically, I always figured they’d just skew the voting they way they wanted. I know, crazy to think that a wrestling company wouldn’t be fully on the up-and-up about something. This year, though, I guess once you start charging [...]

As per usual, I’m trying to put these thoughts down before reading too much about the PPV and having my initial thoughts screwed up by reading too much coverage.
ECW Championship: Matt Hardy (c) vs. Mark Henry: This was a perfectly acceptable match but not really exciting in either direction. It was likely that the [...]

The Summer Olympics in LA are less than a week away in 1984. Your commentators are Gorilla Monsoon and Gene Oakerlund.
WWF Heavyweight Championship - The Incredible Hulk Hogan (c) v. Greg “The Hammer” Valentine: This is the “white tights” Hogan era. Valentine attacks before the bell. It’s strange seeing Hogan [...]

It’s been so long since I’ve been sitting in front of the computer during a wrestling event that this is hardly a relevant thought anymore and I’m sure someone or other has already mentioned. The last live show I saw was Smackdown from a couple weeks back when Jeff Hardy was talking to Triple [...]

I think I finally determined why I can’t get in to Grisham and Striker. Like most people, I think, I multi-task when I watch wrestling (or any sports, really). Grisham and Striker never really change their cadence or tone… so they just kind of fade in to the background when you’re not paying [...]

Unforgiven was pretty good. Let’s see if Raw breaks it’s streak of “kinda crappy the night after a PPV” shows.

1) I called the new music/Titantron thing on Jericho incorrectly. I don’t know why I’m harping on it… it just seems like it’s time. First of all, nu-metal’s 35-second window closed 8 years [...]

I watch this show every week and I don’t write about it, which goes against all blogger sensibilities. Some of my memories may not be on point as I was either not alive or a little kid during most of these shows. I’m going to try it for a couple weeks and see [...]
