On another note,

16 years after winning in Atlanta, hes going for gold again
Damn, should have added wrestling tickets to my application.
Watching WWE Vintage atm
Never thought id see Vinnie Vegas in a "Classic" match :lol:
Up against good old Davey Boy British Bulldog from 1993
Nash :bow: To think, Vinnie Vegas was the best of the three gimmicks WCW gave him between 1990 - 1993. The others being MasterBlaster Steel and Oz ( "how dare yooooooou!!" ) :doh:Quote:

Hogan v Warrior Wrestlemania 28
Vince, make it happen
Considering Warrior is still persona non grata with the company (as the 'Self-Destruction' DVD) proves, and Terry is nursing his hip each week (or 'being in TNA' as some might call it), I'll wish you well with that request :lol:Quote:

HULK HOGAN has hinted he would like one final wrestling match — against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
After undergoing another bout of surgery on his back, many feel the Hulkster should never set foot in the ring again as an active wrestler for fear of causing himself serious injury.
But Hogan claims he would be keen on a dream match with a man he never faced during his 34-year career.
The TNA star said: "If there is that one last match, that really meant something to the fans, then that would have to be against Stone Cold.
"I can see him making appearances back on TV and he's already starting to get full of himself.
"I heard him say for a while that his back and neck were too messed up to wrestle, but from what I've been seeing lately, I think he's getting geared up to do something and I'd like to be a part of it."
Hogan also spoke of the untimely passing of his one-time best friend, turned bitter enemy, turned friend again, Randy Savage.
Speaking to ESPN, he added: "We were stuck together like glue for 15 years, we did everything together, worked out, travelled, trained and had some great matches
"It may sound awful but we both made an awful lot of money. Then we had this huge falling out, I still don't know why he got mad. He went through a lot with his divorce from Elizabeth and stuff.
"But we did start talking again a few months before he died. We were even going to attend a BBQ organised by his brother Lanny (The Genius) the week he died.
"Out of all the guys who have died, that one hit me hardest."

All you need to do now is post a request for Austin - Warrior at WM28 and you've completed the set.... Surely one of 'em will come off eh? :whistle: :lol:Quote:

Cant believe i actually have both of Hulks books.
He should give it up. Trying to hang on to Stone Colds coat tail is not cool
I'll give Raw a watch this week.
Stone Cold. :bow:
Randy Orton might not compete at Capitol Punishment cos of concussion.
Its the reason he didnt wrestle on Raw this week and all depends on if he passes the concussion test which all wrestlers who suffer concussion must pass before they are able to wrestle again
Quite right too. Glad that Chris Nowinski's research on this issue has been taken on board.Quote:

Looking around silvervision and seeing the other upcoming stuff. Does the world really need another 3-disc Rey set?!

I never watched WCW during the Monday Night Wars and thank god for that.
In fact, only time i watched it was when the Dangerous Alliance ran the show and the epic Rick Rude v Sting matches
Orton gets medical clearance, so he'll be participating in Capitol (UK sic) Punishment tonight
Has anyone ever paid to watch on Box Office?
Only time ive ever done it since wrestling was shown on there is this years WrestleMania
I have for the main PPV's, not ever going to miss the Royal Rumble for example. Will for the 'In Your House' shows if they have a good card. This one isn't one I'll be buying though.
Last 2 Rumbles, ive watched online and miraculously they havent crashed on me. Well they have during the matches but never for the main thing
Yep will definitely just be 411Mania/WrestlingObserver.com-ing this one, and those only.
1997-2003 were the days - UK only PPVs on Saturday nights once or twice a year. The first of them - One Night Only from the NEC in Sep '97 - ended up being the best, at least four matches on there would have graced any 'full' supercard.
It's every April and November now for tv shows, even if they don't have a PPV over here. Bit much really, given they always have exactly the same stage set. :lol:
Also, the internet probably would hold out for streaming for them but it's always good to watch matches a second time around on the continual replays during the week, as they inevitably are removed from youtube now.
Shane McMahon was with Rory McIlroy's dad at the golf yesterday. :lol:
SPOILERS BELOW ********
Capitol Punishment results.Quote:
JOHN CENA and Randy Orton retained their World Championships at WWE's Capitol Punishment PPV, held in Washington, on a show which failed to live up to early expectations.
In fact, you may as well change the name of America's capital city from DC to AC - to stand for 'Anti-Climactic'.
Following a similar pattern to this year's disappointing WrestleMania, the event had a reasonable opening two hours and some solid wrestling before the main event proved to be a towering disappointment.
Proceedings opened with Dolph Ziggler claiming the United States title from Kofi Kingston in a fun bout, before WWE sent a message of intent that they plan to invest heavily in Alex Riley by giving the former NXT rookie a clean victory over The Miz. He might be a good outside bet for the winner of a Money in the Bank match next month.
Alberto Del Rio v Big Show was an odd affair. Show ambushed the Mexican before the bell, but was attacked in turn by Mark Henry, who in a cool visual hit his World's Strongest Man on the Giant - through an announce table.
The match would then get underway, but instead of ending with a logical tap-out saw the referee stopping the contest because Show could not continue. It was a finish which did nothing to elevate Alberto, since Henry clearly takes the credit for Show's misfortune.
After some fine mic work by Wade Barrett, which prompted the partisan crowd to spur on Ezekiel Jackson with a "U-S-A" chant (he's from Guyana), the Brit lost his IC crown to Big Zeke in match which was hardly a classic, but then wasn't expected to be.
The best match of the night followed. CM Punk may well be the best all-round worker in the industry today, and he clicked perfectly once again with Rey Mysterio as the two put on a 15 minute masterclass.
Pleasingly this ended cleanly, with CM Punk getting a very rare victory on PPV. Before the match, in a backstage interview, he promised that when he had beaten Mysterio he was going to do 'the most honest thing the WWE Universe has ever seen'.
Guesses on what this cryptic message may mean ranged from quitting the company to attacking John Cena in the main event, but the quote was not followed up on. Perhaps we will find out on Raw.
Randy Orton beat Christian next, in a match which was good, but did not live up to the standard of previous excellent encounters the duo have had. It ended after an RKO, but Christian did have his foot under the bottom rope. He protested the decision afterwards, suggesting that even after three PPV matches this feud may not be over.
An unadvertised match between Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger, which Evan won, was a fun addition and with 45 minutes or so of the show remaining, it had been a fairly good PPV.
However, WWE decided that poor comedy involving a Barack Obama lookalike and Booker T at his annoying worst could fill some time before a main event which had no flow and a corny finish.
R-Truth, despite his entertaining character development of late, is hardly a polished in-ring performer. And while John Cena has been known to pull good matches of people at times, this suited his plodding, predictable style.
The bout was in sharp contrast to the innovative action shown by Punk/Mysterio, and to a lesser extent Orton/Christian, and concluded when a child in the front row threw water in R-Truth's face - leading to Cena hitting an Attitude Adjustment for the win.
It was a desperately disappointing conclusion to the night, at least for those who have reached an age where Cena's superhero powers are no longer a draw.
Shows like this have to rely on a strong main event to leave their paying public satisfied. WWE will have undone two hours of good work with the poor fare that went on last.
We give Capitol Punishment an overall rating of 6 out of 10

The thing is, didn't the last PPV only get 78,000 buys? I can't believe someone like Vince can't see that PG rated has no value in it, it doesn't even have to be R or NC-17, what's wrong with PG13?
Yup. Just got to hope he doesn't decide to move the other way. "Too much violence with PG, we're going Uc now."Quote:

The turn to PG is definitely what started the downhill spiral.
Strict no-blading policy these days. Should anyone be busted open accidentally, the match is actually stopped to allow them to get it quickly stitched and covered-up. I think it will be a while until we see the crimson mask againQuote:
