Lil' Bitch

At least him and Edge have something in common.

Vengeance 2005, which was also held here was 6 matches. So was Backlash last year. Granted, it could've been better, but I blame that it on time constaints. If anything, I was more surprised by a Guerrero winning clean. When's the last time that happened? I wasn't expecting anything great considering who was involved. Undertaker came in and kicked ass, which is what the people wanted. I liked it a lot and it came off really good. No, it made him look like a complete pussy, which is something you don't do if you're trying to make his character be taken seriously since he stopped the Shakespearean pose, had his head shaved, and has been on a roll by getting clean wins since he won the title. This was the 2nd time they did a DQ finish on PPV in the Cena / Orton feud and it was needless as it ruined what was going to be another Cena / Orton classic. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! He could've done that any other way.

I thought the Butch Reed myth was another SK fabrication and was debunked by Butch Reed himself in his shoot interview?

Thank fucking God Jeff is in the MITB. I read a rumor that there was talk of changing it to Hardy / Michaels and booking Batista / Flair at Wrestlemania and that would've absolutely sucked! Agreed. They tried the "I respect and love you so much " crap last time at Bad Blood and it was terrible. Granted, Flair turned on Michaels leading up to the match, but you know what I mean.

Exactly. I wish Cena would act heelish, but is still liked as it worked for Stone Cold initially. The reason Cena sucks is the same reason for Michaels in 96 - being stripped of any real personality once he turned face. I've already lost a good amount of interest for WM with the triple threat match being announced as the main event. Cena or HHH is totally predictable and nothing good or interesting can of it when it happens (aside from a potentially fresh and feud of HHH Vs. JBL) Randy Orton retaining though would be the best thing to happen since nobody is expecting it.

The PPV was great until we got the shitty finish to the WWE Title match and Hunter's predictable win knocking it from what could've been an almost solid 10, 9 rating. All I was asking for either Cena to win the belt or Orton to beat Cena by cheating like pulling his tights or something. It's ridiculous how WWE has to pull bullshit like to piss off a hot crowd (I love my hometown) in order to protect both men yet again. Also, it would've been if Jeff Hardy or anybody else for that matter would've won the Elimination Chamber yet. I loved the Mayweather / Show segment. It was amazing to see Show back in shape. Overall, I'm glad I got to attend though. To an extent. There was no good reason for Hunter to win his THIRD Elimination Chamber.

Its a great thing Blu-Ray has finally won this format war. This will lead to an increase in sales for the PS3.

Kane could get the title shot or take Batista's place in EC.

If it wasn't for HBK or HHH, the best guy to retire Flair would be Orton.

So what goes on last? The RAW EC or The WWE Championship match? Not really since Brock kicked out of Eddie trying to pin him after getting hit with the Spear.

The Edge/Lesnar would've been interesting, but kind of cliche that in 01, Edge beat the previous winner (Angle from 2000) in the finals, then to have the same thing happen the next year. Yeah, that's what they were going for. I never even knew about it until I read his book.

I'm hoping it'll be revealed in TKOTCS what happened to Henry Jones, Sallah, Wille, and Short Round or if they'll at least be mentioned.

Mr. Fuji turned on Demolition at SSeries 1988 because he felt they were getting too soft. The same reason goes for Paul Bearer turning on the Undertaker at SummerSlam 1996.

Yeah that was weird booking. Yet over the years, Kane is still somehow the heel?

Wrestlemania 4 gets a bum rap for how long it took (16 matches and 3 and a half hours). I didn't have much of a problem with that, since I got to watch it in several sittings. This is the one with the 14-man championship tournament. Hogan and Andre each get a bye into round 2, where they meet each other. It begins with a 20-man battle royal that may be my new favorite non-Rumble battle royal. Everything comes off really well here, especially the ending, where Junkyard Dog takes on the team of Bad News Brown and Bret Hart. It sucks so much that two of those guys are dead and one of them has their career end on a sour note. The problem with WM4, other than the length, is the way they tried to book it. The whole thing is based on Savage's final victory in the tournament, and rather just use the tournament to build on that, they push it by having the heels basically dominate the PPV. The tournament starts with Dibiase pinning Duggan due to Andre's interference. Muraco beats Dino Bravo, but only by DQ. Randy Savage beats Butch Reed in the only clean victory of the entire first round. Valentine vs. Steamboat was very, very good, but it doesn't feel right that Steamboat jobs so early when he and Savage stole the show a year earlier. One Man Gang vs. Bam Bam Bigelow starts off as a pretty sweet big man match, but ends abruptly with a lame count out finish against Bigelow. Then there's Rick Rude vs. Jake Roberts, which was an interesting match. It ended up being a draw, eliminating both guys from the tournament and giving One Man Gang a bye. The story of the match looked to be that despite a little cheating here and there, Rude was the superior wrestler, but wasted too much time with his taunts and gyrating to win the match. Unfortunately, it was still pretty boring at parts. The non-tournament Ultimate Warrior vs. Hercules is pretty surprising, if only because despite Warrior winning, he did it in a non-dominating way, much like a roll-up. Round two begins in the tournament with Andre vs. Hogan. A lot more energy than their WM3 match. Even though it ends in a double DQ, it's still a great match to watch. Then we get like 20 minutes of Hogan posing. With Andre hurt and Virgil injured by Hogan, Dibiase has to fight Muraco himself. He still wins cleanly, by the skin of his teeth and advances with a bye to the finals. Savage also wins barely by rolling up Valentine during a Figure Four attempt. Not a bad match, though pretty short. Brutus Beefcake beats Honky Tonk Man by DQ, cheating us out of both a title change and the chance of seeing HTM lose some of his hair. Instead, Jimmy Hart loses a little bit of his mullet. Big deal. Then there's the Islanders and Bobby Heenan vs. the British Bulldogs and Koko B. Ware. I don't know what was worse, Heenan getting the pin or the fact that it was part of the whole crappy Matilda storyline. The tournament continues into the third round, which is just Savage vs. One Man Gang. Savage wins by DQ, being beaten down by Slick's cane. That's followed by Demolition beating Strike Force for the tag titles... also via a cane spot. Sloppy booking, guys. Finally, the main event is the tired Savage vs. Dibiase with Andre in his corner. Elizabeth runs off to get Hogan from the back to watch Savage. The match is pretty short for a main event and even though Savage wins, it's by a blatant chair shot by Hogan while the ref wasn't looking. Then Savage and Hogan celebrate in the ring by shaking hands about 12 times. Seriously, every time they look at each other, they extend their hands, shake and then turn around for a moment. Really, though. Anyone else notice what a scheming asshole Hogan was underneath it all in his WWF days? At Wrestlemania 2, he strangles King Kong Bundy with his bandages. At WM3, he tries to piledrive Andre on the cement. At WM4 we have the chair thing.

Please don't get me started.

I'm shocked his 2002 - 2003 world title run is practically skipped over. I'd figured his new DVD set would be 3 DVDs with one disc dedicated to that reign.

All bow before King Helmsley! I will admit, Cage has great story telling skills. Great ring psycology. His mic skills are pretty damn good. Goes over the top sometimes, but its good. The only thing I don't like about him is his actual wresting skills. He is just average to me. If he did not have good mic skills, he wouldn't be anything special. Yeah, I think he deserved a main event push in WWE (adding Jericho ionto his title shot match was complete bullshit), but I wouldn't have liked seeing him be the face of the company a lot. Mostly because of his wrestling skills, which are not that good to me. Just my opinion. I enjoyed 2005 for the most part, especially the Hogan / Michaels feud. Sue me. Awesome.

I'm sure it will be mentioned if there's a documentary involved.

Cruz had a nice lesbo scene with Charlize Theron in Head In The Clouds.

Word.

------ made Lesnar tap out at SSeries, won a battle royale later on the SD show, defeated Cena to get the title shot at Brock, to get screwed out of it (3 matches in 1 night), Heyman says ------ can't get another shot at the title (forgot the reason why, somebody help me out here) unless he wins Rumble and made him number one to rub it in, ------ wins, so the story was right there to progress and ------ jumped to RAW the night after for some fucking dumb reason making him look like a complete pussy. Other mentions: Eddie Guerrero Vs. The Big Show - This could've been a great main event for Judgment Day 2004. Show could've challenged for the title (ala Bulldog's build-up in 95 against Hart: I beat you for the IC title (US in this case) so I can beat you for the world title!). Guerrero could've been the underdog champion and get revenge on Show in L.A., but it wasted on SD and the title wasn't even up for grabs. Batista Vs. Christian - on a RAW in April I believe. It was a fun match that could've been used for Backlash. Benjamin Vs. Michaels - PPV worthy match, easily. Batista Vs. Edge - A really good match between the two. They could've used for Vengeance since they spent a good while building up the Gold Rush tournament.
