Guest bob_barron Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 I thiught Goldberg and Austin weren't going to the UK? Regal is currently in England so I wonder if he'll make a surprise apperance
Garth Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Its an alright line up, with some good looking matchs, but once burned twice scared. I'm not about to fork out £15 for it.
Garth Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Hey he's leeching off of WWE, so thats fine by me. Steal as much as you can from them dammit!
Guest art_vandelay Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 WHO would pay for that? It's a glorified Raw card.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 WHO would pay for that? It's a glorified Raw card. Its gonna be like a regular Raw, only with more wrestling instead of promos and skits. Make up your own mind as to whether this is a good thing or not.
Garth Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Dammit by Jericholism is urging me to order even though i know it's going to be trash. Why do i have to be such a Jericho mark?
Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 oldberg / Kevin Nash (with Shawn Michaels) vs. Triple H (WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION) / Chris Jericho (with Ric Flair) Eric Bischoff as Special Ref Stone Cold Steve Austin as Outside Enforcer Intercontinental Championship : Booker T vs. Christian (INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION) The Hurricane vs. Test (w/ Stacy Keibler) Triple Threat Match for the Women's Title: Trish Stratus vs. Jazz (WOMEN'S CHAMPION) vs. Victoria Thriple Threat Match for the World Tag Team Titles: RVD / Kane (TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS) vs. Three Minute Warning vs. The Dudley Boyz Maven vs. Rodney Mack (w/ Theodore Long) Goldust vs. Rico Spike Dudley vs. Steven Richards Val Venis vs. Lance Storm Talk about a suck ass show. At least the Main Event will be better than Badd Blood's will be.
Guest Insane Bump Machine Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 WWE Takes Goldberg Off UK PPV Lineup No reason given for change... The card has been changed from the earlier posting today. The earlier card was taken from the website of the building the event is at. WWE has updated their insurrextion website to list the following as official: Scott Steiner & Kevin Nash (with Shawn Michaels) vs. Triple H & Chris Jericho (with Ric Flair) INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Booker T vs. Christian WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP RVD & Kane vs. La Resistance TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Trish Stratus vs. Jazz vs. Victoria The Dudley Boyz vs. Rodney Mack & Christopher Nowinski Goldust vs. Rico Maven vs. Lance Storm The Hurricane vs. Test (with Stacy Keibler) Val Venis vs. Steven Richards *Card subject to change
Garth Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 I'm ot sure who's worse, Steiner or Goldberg. I'm pretty indifferent to both of them, Oh Well.
Rob E Dangerously Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 No more White Boy Challenge between Rodney Mack and Maven??? Make the main event a six man tag! Hurricane/Steiner/Nash v. HHH/Jericho/Test less ring time for Nash!
Guest Caliban Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Looks like yet another craptastic UK PPV. I haven't ordered one since Insurrextion 2000... and I won't again. One Night Only will never be beaten, so why bother?
Guest ViciousFish Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Why can't Vince just face that Nash, Steiner and Goldberg suck ass? It's not the 80's when you could have huge hulking motionless brutes and people would think they were good. Fuck even in the 80's Hogan didn't deal with anyone that motionless except Andre and he had an excuse. My heart goes out to the UK for that card.
Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP RVD & Kane vs. La Resistance Why are they blowing off the Bad Blood tag match at the comparatively meaningless InsurreXtion, where no Americans will see it live? Something screwy's got to happen, apparently.
Guest JMA Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP RVD & Kane vs. La Resistance Why are they blowing off the Bad Blood tag match at the comparatively meaningless InsurreXtion, where no Americans will see it live? Something screwy's got to happen, apparently. Well, maybe they want to gauge the reaction to La Resistance in Europe. They'll probably just insult Britain for siding with the US, ect. It's too bad WWE won't be going to France. Just imagine the ungodly face heat La Resistance would get.
Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Is ANYBODY ordering this thing?
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Is ANYBODY ordering this thing? Why pay good money for this shit, when sky's gonna be showing pretty much the same thing for free for Badd Blood.
Guest jm29195 Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Jazz over Trish following interference from Long and Victoria- decent women's match RVD and Kane over La Resistance- same old stuff form Raw- La Resistance are crap Christian over Booker T- match of the night Golddust over Rico- longer than expected - technically sound but a bit boring Dudley Boys over Long/Mack/Nowinski- crap but popped the crowd Funny Jericho/Austin/Bischoff segment but no place on a ppv HHH over Nash- imo better than judgement day- was a streetfight- Flair bled a gusher
Guest BifEverchad Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Jeez guys, UK cards are never anything special. What do you expect?
Guest Andy Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 I'd seen worse UK PPV's, but I've come to not expect too much from them...
Guest BionicRedneck Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 I just got back from the show. It was good fun, but not great wrestling. Austin got a monster pop. A fat kid next to me stood up and shouted "YOU SUCK" during the main event....how right he was. Maven got a better pop than Nash...seriously.

Guest BifEverchad Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 JR and the King came out, then the Insurrextion video intro started - and the pyro went off as the first match started: Jazz beat Trish to retain the Women's title after outside interference from Victoria and Teddy Long, who shoved Trish shoulder first into the ring post. Christian beat Booker T to retain the IC title by pinning with his feet on the ropes. Booker did a spinaroonie and had the upper hand after a very slow start. Austin backstage with Theodore Long. To cut it short, Austin puts Long in a six man with Nowinski and Mack against the three Dudleyz. RVD and Kane beat La Resistance Al Snow interviewed Goldust to hype the Goldust/Rico match Goldust beat Rico with a powerslam. Freddie Blassie tribute video aired. Plenty of loud "FREDDIE" chants from the Newcastle crowd, respecting a guy who most of them probably haven't seen wrestle. JR and King applauded the crowd (on screen too, apparantly) after the video. Highlight Reel segment - Jericho comes out to a good pop, but that turns to heel heat after he put down the cheap set for his show, and Newcastle's failed Capital of Culture for 2008 bid (that title went to Liverpool). He also made a few cheap remarks at the expense of local football/soccer team Newcastle United and its manager Bobby Robson (which I liked, since I support Sunderland - but that's by the by). Eric Bischoff comes out, and the pair continue a verbal barrage on Newcastle. Glass shatters, Austin comes out to a monster pop. Talks about how much beer he drank... then says he made the main event (Nash/HHH) a street fight. Jericho said a killer long line to the crowd ("if you want me to have a beer say...") and the three had a beer bath. Austin stunnered Jericho, before teasing a Stunner to Bischoff, before hitting it on his co-GM. Dudley Boyz beat Rodney Mack, Theodore Long and Chris Nowinski Scott Steiner beat Test with his Flatliner-like finisher HBK (massive pop), Nash (none at first, then polite applause), and HHH (good pop) got their separate intros to the main event. HHH beat Nash in the street fight after a sledgehammer to the head, when Nash was distracted by Flair. Flair and HBK were sent to the back early on, but not before Flair started juicing. Flair returned late in the match with practically red hair from the blood loss. Usual shenanigans as Flair helped HHH, then HBK made the save before being laid out. The crowd started to leave after HHH's entrance, by the way. Post show, Nash remained in the ring selling the sledgehammer shot. Shawn got in the ring with the trainers to help Nash up - a few people thought it was a legit injury, but Nash got to the back unassisted as Shawn and Nash posed on the ramp to close the show. All in all, it was a good show - the wrestling wasn't much, but the entertainment was good. It probably didn't come across well on TV, what with all the lack of organisation and promotion for the event. - a1wrestling.com
Guest Pilgrim Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Well this is the first ppv i've missed since mid 1999 and to be honest i think i made the right choice. I went up to Manchester for the last Brit ppv but then that had Angle/Benoit v Eddie and Chavo. Perhaps if flair was wrestling i would of ordered it or gone but thats the mark in me coming out
Guest Damn You Helmsley Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Jericho dissin' Bobby Robson would have been cool to see.
King Cucaracha Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 WHO would pay for that? It's a glorified Raw card. Thousands of Brits...who then realise the card has been changed (as always) and that Vince really doesn't give a damn about the Brit PPV's.
