Guest Retro Rob Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Does anyone know what time the show should be over by? I thought 11:30, but my friend is saying mid-night (EST).
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 The adverts say Midnight.
Guest Retro Rob Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Why did I ask? Because I wanted to know how long I would be staying out that night since I need to get up early the next day.
Guest jimmy no nose Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 It probably won't be over long after 11:30. Normally PPVs say they go until 11, but end between 10:30 and 10:45, so it should probably be over between 11:30 and 11:45. I'm not sure what the reason is for this.
Guest Choken One Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 What reason? It's Wrestle Mania...That is good enough reason. It's odd...10 matches but it's going 4 hours...Before the Angle injury I would've thought they were giving it 40 minutes... Hopefully the xtra hour won't mean an extended performence of Limp Bizkit...
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 I got lucky with WMX8. I had to be at work for midnight and thankfully the show didn't use it's entire 4 hour window (just as most PPV's end at 10:45 instead of 11). Just incase there was some lingering doubt, Josh said on Velocity last night it was "extended" to 4 hours.
Guest RenegadeX28 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 They made it 4 hours for WM2000, if I am right.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 I'm gonna be in a movie theatre for 5 hrs next week- I'm gonna be so drained come midnight
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 I don't know when they started the 4 hour deal, but it was the same time as the price hike. They buy 4 hour blocks now for Mania and can fill them how they like.
Guest eiker_ir Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 the last three 'Manias have been 3:45 - 4:00 hours
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 the really weird thing is, in Canada, Cogeco is offering the PPV for $34.99 Canadian. Isn't that the same price as normal PPVs? I haven't caved in to their demands of having digital cable to watch PPV, so I don't know.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Damn- You gonna watch it at the movie theatre? It's costing me $29 to see it on the big screen. Mania X-7 was a legit 4 hrs- it ended at like 11:55. X-8 went until 11:35-11:45 or something.
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 The theatre is a good idea, but I'm going to be a cheap bastard and go to the local bar and watch for the price of a hamburger.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 I'm not 19 so that option is out of the window. The theatre is a fun experience since you kinda feel like your at a live event. The Benoit v. Angle matches were awesome since the whole theatre was pro-Benoit and we were going crazy for every near fall and submission hold. And no one minded my profanity when HBK caused Y2J to be eliminaed
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 I won tickets to the first theatre PPV, Rumble 2000, and the place was sold out and it was awesome. I also went to Judgment Day that year as a birthday present, and while good, the theatre attendance had already started dropping. I've just kinda of assumed that over the past 3 years attendance has been low and therefore not as fun, but I could be wrong. As for the bar, last year at Mania it was NUTS. It didn't help that the event fell on St. Patrick's Day. Attendance really dropped off around Judgment Day. It was hard to gauge Royal Rumble since 1/2 of the bar was on the "football" side (2 big TVs), but NWO attendance was way up and people were really happy to see Austin back.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 The big 5 shows do really well. Royal Rumble was pretty much packed this year. No one was at Unforgiven pretty much and No Way Out was pretty good capacity. Mania should be sold out I think
Guest Brian Posted March 24, 2003 Report Posted March 24, 2003 I'm trying to decide whether I should get a friend to order it and tape it or wait for the DVD.
Guest LatinoHeat Posted March 24, 2003 Report Posted March 24, 2003 anyone know why for WM 12 they painted the logo on the ring? Why did they do that just for one show?
Guest bravesfan Posted March 24, 2003 Report Posted March 24, 2003 anyone know why for WM 12 they painted the logo on the ring? Why did they do that just for one show? They did cut up the mat post-'Mania to sell it, so that may be one reason. I remember there was a WM12 plaque shilled by the WWF, costing about $120. It had a 8x10 of Shawn's title celebration in-ring, as well as a swatch of the mat.
