Do you mind if I steal that? I was looking for a new avatar!

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Go nuts!

[Guest treble charged]

hey man, do you have any more pictures of last night?

I took some, and I hope to have them developed by later today.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

I have some that I took from a real crappy camera so I don't think they'll turn out that great. A friend of mine had a digital camera with some awesome pics, but I won't be getting them for at least a week, probably. ???

[Guest treble charged]

I think I got some good shots of poses in the corner.  I was about 10 feet away from the turnbuckle, right around where the chick that Val Venis called into the ring was sitting.  I had a big sign that said, "BLOB IS POUR" (inside joke), and my friend had one of those old school stuffed Hogan dolls.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Hey, before the gates opened, did you notice that guy dressed in Hogan gear on one of the stairways? The guy had it all, the Hulk Rules bandana, the Hulk Rules tank top (complete with the rips in the back). It was hilarious!

[Guest treble charged]

Yeah, I saw him, someone pointed him out to me.  I think it was the same guy that told me that Maven shouldn't be Hardcore champ since he doesn't bleed.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Funny you bring that up, because someone near us had a sign that said, "I'm Bigger Than Maven!"

 

BTW, what was the big delay about the opening of the gates last night anyway?

[Guest treble charged]

I don't know, but I'm just glad that I'm not clausterphobic.  I don't think I would have been able to have made it if I was.  It does give you a chance to talk with people about the show though, and that is cool.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Yeah, I'm just happy that I bought my RVD and Jericho shirts at 4:00 pm before dinner at Marshy's than just before getting in...

[Guest treble charged]

I got my Flair shirt before there was a huge crunch, but, by the time we went back to the car to get our stuff after eating, the line was a LOT bigger.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

For some reason, I wasn't fussy about the Flair shirt. Already have Austin and Rock shirts so I wasn't going to get them. Might've bought the HHH shirt except that I really hate the back of it. It seems like something's missing from that. Some guy at Marshy's bought it and he dressed EXACTLY like HHH, complete with the double jacket.

 

Who the #### would buy a Kane foam hand?

[Guest treble charged]

Probably the same guy who would buy a Kane mask, Road Dogg foam hand, and Mr. Ass liscence plate (don't laugh, it happened at a house show I went to), who, incidently, is the same guy my sign is about.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Yeah, and then there are those mini championship belts they were selling. You can wear 'em on your wrist!

[Guest treble charged]

I've got a funny story about one of those belts:

As I was leaving, this women (probably in her 20s) had one and was talking to her friend, she couldn't quite seem to understand how to use it, and even said, "Wait, it has instructions!"  IT'S A BELT!  Why in the #### would you need instructions on how to use a belt?

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Well, as Scott Keith himself stated, the WWF was never one to overestimate the intelligence of its fans...

 

That's too funny though. The only somewhat interesting story I have is this guy wanting a T-shirt at the merch stand and asking for "a Rob Van Dam" and the vendor's hearing was so bad, he though he said "a bandanna". WTF?

[Guest treble charged]

I have a few interesting stories to tell.

1) We parked in the lot across the street, and as we were crossing, my friend asked this lady if she was there for the show.  She said no, she worked there, but she had seen some of the wrestlers working out at the Y.  My friends then decided to whip out their Y memberships (something that I don't have) and go down, and watch RVD, Test, Stacy Kiebler, Maven, Tommy Dreamer, and Kidman work out.  One of my friends talked to Maven, Kidman, and Dreamer.  I, on the other hand, stood out near the back entrance and saw some guy who kind of looked like Booker T.

2) On the way out, we passed by Carl DeMarco's suite, and told him that we wanted Bret back.  He just shrugged his shoulders.

That was my SmackDown trip.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

####! I have a Y membership myself! I could've gone there! I'll remember that next time they come here...

 

From what I've heard, Carl DeMarco and Bret Hart are still friends, so that reaction from Carl makes sense. Kinda like he was saying, "I'd like him back too, but I have no control over that."

[Guest treble charged]

Trust me, before I go the next time, I'm definitely getting a membership.  Just remember to bring workout clothes, that way, they might actually let you stay down there, rather than just walk around the place a few times.

[Guest MARTYEWR]

Yeah, I can just picture me trying to keep up with RVD...

 

At the Y the next time the WWF comes back to Ottawa...

 

RVD: So Marty, nice to meet you. Let me show you a few tips in the gym. First, can you do this?

 

(RVD does his curl-ups where he has both legs on one bench each, doing the splits)

 

Marty: Sure, let me try!

 

(Marty attempts split, pulls groin)

 

Marty: AAARRRRRRRRRRGGHHH!!!!

 

RVD: Oh man, that sucks. That happened to me the first time I tried that. Here I have some dope, um I mean, medicine to help you cope with that...

[Guest treble charged]

Just walk on one of the treadmills the whole time.  That way you can just watch them do stuff, and it one of them uses one of the ones near you, you can strike up a conversation (Stacy was on one of them apparently).

[Guest One Bad Apple]

Hey, get yourselves a room, girls!  

 

Guffaw, guffaw!

[Guest MARTYEWR]

There's probably a limit to the amount of time on those treadmills. Like 30 minutes or something...

 

And Apple, IRC Chat doesn't work so I'm just keeping it here. Besides, there's nothing wrong with two people hogging one thread, especially if they're both recovering from Smackdown tapings the night before!

[Guest One Bad Apple]

You girls should go to the YMCA and get a place there!

 

Hey ... you'll be able to get dinner at "Marshy's," too!  HAW!!

[Guest CanadianChris]

I saw the guy with the Hulk Rules shirt, also.

 

Funniest thing I saw (apart from the lesbians going at each other in front of us)...TWO different guys with replica WWF title belts, full size.  Those look awesome...I gotta get me one of those.

[Guest JerryDrake]

Wrestlemania was FULL of people dressed as Hogan.

In the front row opposite the hard cameras, there were guys with a replica WWF title belt, WCW belt, IC belt, and Tag belt.  One of them was the guy in the Leafs' jersey.

Here sucka: http://speedycpu.dyndns.org/etc/Hogan.jpg

[Guest goodhelmet]

#### that's an excellent picture! If Hogan bladed on every show and was left lying in the ring every night, I'd probably have no complaints about the WWF product besides HHH!
