Matt Young

He's the guy in one of the first few rows wearing a white Cena baseball shirt with the old school WWF style logo on it. He certainly has a better seat tonight than he did last night.

Kansas, along with Duke, has been one of my most hated teams for years, so I don't like Roy Williams. However, I do respect him and UNC's basketball team, and they definitely earned their win tonight. I'm incredibly disappointed in the outcome of the game. We were so close. So close. The game meant a lot to me since I lived a short distance from Champaign for 20 years, traveling there often, and I have a cousin who's an Illini cheerleader. Illinois finally made it to the title game, and I truly believed that they would win. If it wasn't for that first half and far too many missed 3's, they probably would have come out on top. Still, I can't be too disappointed... They made their first ever title game, and finished 37-2 with those 2 losses coming by a combined 6 points. They tied the NCAA wins record for a season. Congratulations to both UNC and my Fighting Illini on a spectacular 2005 season.

I'm looking for a tape of 21 myself since I was there live and my friend's tape got fucked up. I don't want to wait for the DVD to see the televised version of the show.

Green Day's my favorite band (along with The Doors) and they're the reason I started playing guitar, writing songs, and wanting to be in a band. However, I missed Storytellers since I was at WrestleMania. Hopefully they'll replay it soon.

Bruiser was referring to MVP, not 2K5, just to clarify.

Hmm... I didn't hear the teacher comment, but I missed a little bit of that segment. Untouchable- Coffey lives in Indiana. He was nowhere near the Staples Center.

Sorry, I just marked out seeing you on TV. Plus the look on your face while flipping off Simon Dean was priceless. The thread actually ended up being more about Coffey anyway.

claydude- I marked out when I saw Cena win the belt at Staples last night, but your post just now reminded me that Cena promised to make changes to the belt if he won it. Ugh... I liked the spinner belt in a way since it fit his character and was cool as a novelty, but at the same time, I thought it somewhat made a mockery of the championship. Now he's going to be fucking with the WWE Heavyweight Championship. I know that the belt itself doesn't look too great and only has been around for 3 years, but I fear what WWE may do for a special Cena belt.

I'd love to see Batista get a good 4 and a half to 5 month reign and then drop the belt at SummerSlam. SS is WWE's next biggest PPV event after WrestleMania, and this year it's in Batista's home town of Washington, D.C. Having Edge beat him there would get Edge huge heel heat for his title win.

This thread has entertained me for the last couple minutes. Unfortunately, I cannot contribute since I can't draw for shit with a mouse.

Yeah, and that's why they and Ed can continue to make products. Meanwhile everything Tobias has done since 1995 has bombed so I'm left wondering why he's still in the business. I'm just saying that sales do not always equate to quality. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything. I'm simply stating that just because something sells doesn't necessarily mean it's good, especially in the game industry where tons of mediocre titles have high sales figures and quality, innovative games head for the bargain bins.

Wow, I'm surprised that no one made the connection. I've had that pic there for weeks. In other news, that is me in my avatar.

It's our one and only Coffey.

That I am. If I had known he was going to be on camera the whole damn time, I would've suggested that he bring a Kotzenjunge related sign. That or the picture of Coffey from my sig blown up to 10,000% size.

Did you expect something more from me?

He posts a lot in the TNA forum. He's the guy who sold me my WrestleMania ticket. He's cool. You should buy tapes from him. I called him after the Edge/Benoit match, and he said he managed to get a good deal on 2 second row seats from a scalper. So yeah, more specifically, he's the guy in Row 2, near the middle, with the Cena shirt, constantly snapping photos.

Yeah. It was hard to keep up with all the eliminations, but I believe he was in the final 6. Also, when Viscera was eliminated, he wasn't catapulted as was said earlier. That wouldn't even be believable. Booker was dumped to the apron, Viscera got whipped toward the ropes, and Booker pulled the top rope down to eliminate him. I'll post more on the battle royal and the show as a whole after Raw is over.

Shit... If only the Metrolink ran later or I could have stayed another night in LA, I could've bought RedJed's extra ticket and seen Raw as well. At least I got to go to WrestleMania.

Welcome to the board RVB. I just wanted to post since I see that you're from Mt. Zion. I grew up in Springfield and attended Christian Elementary School there along with Glenwood High School in Chatham. I know we played against Mt. Zion in basketball and/or football, but I can't remember if I was in elementary school or high school when that took place. Maybe it was both.

I'll be in Premier 11, Row 6. Come say hi. Also, I was surprised to read that this will be your first WrestleMania. I could've sworn you had mentioned attending WrestleMania 2000 in Anaheim at some point on this board.

Mike Regan from GamingRing went as a guest of THQ and has already seen DoR2. I'm not sure if there's more of that going on after WrestleMania, but I'll ask Mike if he met that guy. So, is this the full count of everyone that's going? The train I'm taking arrives at the station, 2 miles from Staples, at 1:30 PM. I'll be at the arena soon after that. Heat starts at 3. It's just now finally sinking in that I'm going. It pretty much sunk in fully while I watched the Hall of Fame inductions and lamented the fact that the event was so close and I wasn't there. Tomorrow will more than make up for it.

That was fucking beautiful. Flair's speech, Piper, the incredible reaction for Hogan... And to think, if I could've come upw ith $50 extra, I'd be there right now.

I'm going to WrestleMania 21 tomorrow, getting a ticket from RedJed. I've been to a ton of house shows, 2 WCW TV tapings, and the first raw ever in peoria, Illinois, in November 2004, but this'll be my first WrestleMania, and first PPV overall. I'm psyched. I'm disappointed that Paul London and Matt Hardy won't be wrestling, but aside from that and the shitty sumo match, everything looks great. Plus after 14 years of fandom, I get to see WrestleMania live in fuckin' Hollywood. My only request is that the TSMers who hate me and will be attending the show don't beat me up until afterwards. I will be at the arena a couple hours early, however, if anyone wishes to throw fruit and/or baked goods in my general direction. No urine balloons. EDIT: I'm also hoping to attend Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago. A lot of my friends back in Illinois are planning on getting tickets when they go on sale, and if I can afford the trip back there, I'll be going to the show with them.

Stop ending interrogative sentences with periods!

So did N*SYNC albums.
