What time does the door open at Compaq Center tonight? I am leaving my house in NW houston at 5PM, and picking up my cousins at 5:20. We should make it to Compaq Center at 5:50 or 6:00 It says the show starts at about 6:45. Anyhoo, the show better not suck. Imma be pissed if it does.
just got back from the show. im pissed. nobody fell off the top of the cage. Booker T lost. I spent too much on arena food. I Bought a T Shirt that says 5X on the front, and the back says, can you dig that sucka! I saw dave2000, but i don't think he saw me. He was sitting five rows infront, five seats in, I think. He was wearing an RVD shirt. I sat next to a big ol huge guy. He took up half of my seat.
Just got back, after dropping off my cousins. The show wasnt too bad, couldve been worst, actually, I have been to worst, WCW Nitro Memorial Day '99. Just thought about it, ONLY TWO faces won (legitly at least, not including the Booker T DQ win) through the ENTIRE card. Flair/HBK, Goldberg/Jericho, and Nash/HHH were solid matches. Kinda pissed that Booker T and HBK lost with the TX ties. The Triathalon was a bit more entertaining than expected (except for Mae Young and Moolah of course). Kam, my cousin (FrancisFan3) and I were looking for you, but didnt see you. Looked four rows up and all I saw where a family of three and knew that wasnt you and your cousins. My seats werent bad other than the 4 chicks that were in front of us that wouldnt STFU and sit down!!! Although I wasnt complaning too much cause I was staring at one of them for most of the night. BTW, I bought a Bad Blood tshirt, cause for $20 I thought it was worth it, even though I shelled out a whooping $30 for my Rob Van Dam tshirt I bought at the last Raw.
I thought it was a very good show, although I'll probably have nightmares for years from the visual of seeing Mae Young flopping around in garters and a thong.
A lot of the wrestlers weren't so happy w/ Bad Blood: As we've been reporting, Goldberg and HBK both were upset at Bad Blood (Goldberg's reason not involving the show, however). It appears that they were not the only RAW superstars that were upset with the way the show went. - Kevin Nash was reportedly quite upset over the fact that he's in the "what do they do with me now" position that so many wrestlers have recently entered after ending their programs with HHH. - Booker T was extremely angry with the booking of the finish to his match, as the ending showed totally poor booking from WWE. - The Dudleys also were less than pleased with the fact that they did the job at Bad Blood, yet are scheduled for a title feud with La Resistance in the coming weeks. WWE's obvious justification is that they could not kill the Mack/Nowinski team on PPV with a defeat, but the Dudleys also do have some reasonable logic in their argument. The WWE.com website crew conducted an interview with Shawn Michaels after his match with Ric Flair at Bad Blood. Michaels told WWE.com that he was disappointed that he was only given 18 minutes in his match with Ric Flair last night, which was his first match against Flair since he became one of the top wrestlers in the company. The two had wrestled together about 10-12 years ago when Michaels was apart of the tag-team called "The Rockers". On last week's WWE Byte This!, Shawn Michaels stated that he hopes that his match with Ric Flair at Bad Blood would last 30-35 minutes of good, old-fashioned wrestling. Last night his match lasted only half of the amount of time he hope it would have lasted. Shawn Michaels told WWE.com, "I'm disappointed in the time. You had two of the best wrestlers in the world. We were given 18 minutes to wrestle. That's b.s." In more Shawn Michaels news, the Heartbreak Kid was unable to train like he normally does for his matches since he has been battling the stomach flue all week. He said he was relieved after his match against Ric Flair and that he felt hungry, which is a good sign for him.
la resistance is getting a monster push and I don't know why (well I do,k but I don't like it). I thought hhh was hurt? Someone should be able to go over him. I hope Nash doesn't go the way of freakzilla.
You know what the funniest moment of the night was? During the Test/Steiner Match. Hilarious. Scott Steiner walks through the ropes to jump on Test who is on the outside, and he trips over the bottom rope, and he came up short, and instead wound up "clipping" test in the knees. Dave, do you remember seeing a HUGE ol guy. I don't want to be mean, but i'll say it. The dude was FAT. I sat next to him. I was wearing khaki shorts, and a white collared shirt.
Went to RAW in Dallas. It was a pretty good show. It would of been great if the Rock was there and more of Goldberg kicking some ass. But it was cool at the end of the show where it wasn't on TV. It had SCSA and Kane hitting up on beers and both stunning and chokeslamming his ass all over the place. Wish they threw a beer my way! The only downfall was this f**king idiot in front of me w/ a damn sign. I felt like taking that poster, ripping it up, and shoving it up his ASS!! But other than that, it was great. Full crowd, too! If I get my pics developed, I'll post them when I get a chance.
Thanks for the info, NWO. It just goes to show what a buyer's market it is for Vince, with no real competition out there. There are going to be more than a few unhappy campers having to do the jobs. But I am getting sick of Triple H. I think he needs to give up the title to Goldberg for a while, for the good of the ratings.
HHH Title Reign: The best shot WWE had to have HHH lose the belt was to lose to Booker T. Then they got those "let's give it to Kevin Nash" ideas. Problem is, Nash is a damn sloth in the ring now. A shade of what he used to be and they realized that. They were counting on Sting signing with WWE, too. Sting made the right choice and went with NWA-TNA in the end. Speaking of TNA: Mark my words, TNA will be huge in a year. They've got all the faves; Raven, Perry Saturn, Konnan, D'Lo Brown, Mabel, BG James (F.K.A. Road Dogg), Sting, Justin Credible, Jeff Jarret, Julio Dinero, Ron Killings (F.K.A. K-Kwik), Shane Douglas, etc. Even the former Disco Inferno and Grandmaster Sexay. With the fall of XPW, they'll probably land more big names. All in all, it's more wrestling, better storylines and no political bullcrap. The only thing holding them back is the lack of a TV deal. Weekly PPVs do the job, though. Ultimo Dragon: One of the few things the WWE has going for it as of late is the signing of Ultimo Dragon. He'll probably play the heel role and start a feud with Rey Mysterio. It'll probably be Ultimo Dragon VS. Rey Mysterio in some form or another at WrestleMania XX.
It would still be very easy to give the belt to Goldberg. He is only one of the biggest stars in wrestling history.
HHH VS. Goldberg was the plan for Summer Slam but that was nixed after Goldberg exploded after hearing Linda McMahon's coments on how much of a 'dissapointment' he was. I wouldn't be surprised if they go with HHH VS. Mick Foley or HHH VS. Kevin Nash again for the next title defense.
Wow, talk about....boring. Pretty decent match, unfortunately topped with another predictable win and a finale that was just....meh.
They have built Kane's "big bad disfigured monster" character for 6 years running. I have waited 6 years for this pathetic crap! A bad haircut and spray paint on his face to make him look like he was burned and never used Noxema to wash it off. They could have atleast had some type of facial scarring make-up crap or something. Kanes character is destroyed. Now, he's a big r****d with a bad haircut and bad make-up. Nice job WWE
Actually, i didnt think it was that bad. It was more than I expected. I was expecting a straight bad looking Issac Yankem D.D.S face (the same wrestler for those who dont know).
How crappy was THAT makeup? Here are some older pics of him as Isaac Yankum DDS http://members.aol.com/kane1sfire/survivorseres95/
