Guest rawmvp Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Well, WWE can always set up smaller PPV sets if the event sells out or is on pace to sell very well. Do you realize that WWE spent one million dollars for that atrocious WM 18 set? Talk about a lack of ingenuity; it looked like an arbitrary labyrinth of steel poles.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 I still want one good reason why Batista isn't feuding with Castro.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 doesnt Mark Henry have one of the biggest contracts too?
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Now that I'm reminded of him, I'm beginning to miss the Batista "why should a bad wrestler be on my TV and hyped as a big deal" arguments. But then again, there's the bi-weekly argument about Randy Orton regarding the same subject.
Guest wrestlingbs Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Anyone notice that the KotR PPV set from '02 was the exact same chair set as from"01 but with the electric chair effects. That's one thing old Vinnie never used to do: reuse old PPV sets. When the stop using the curent SD set they'd better have somebody destroy the giant fist on-camera.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 That's one thing old Vinnie never used to do: reuse old PPV sets. Didn't they use Backlash's set for at least three years? Maybe four?
Guest Powerplay Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Isn't Chavo out as well? I haven't seen anything of him in a long while.
Guest Choken One Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 yeah Chavo is out for 4-6 months...Which means a Return around November?
Guest rawmvp Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 The Backlash set has been used and re-used since 2000, I believe
Guest wrestlingbs Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 That's one thing old Vinnie never used to do: reuse old PPV sets. Didn't they use Backlash's set for at least three years? Maybe four? Yeah, but I mean in 2000, every set (even Backlash) seemed to look fresh and original. Now it looks like they're using combinations of old set pieces. The only cool looking PPV stage I seem to remember in the past few years is NWO '02 with those big Trucks blocking the stage.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 the backlash set is really popular though
Guest Downhome Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Wow, I can't believe all of these guys are out that I wasn't even thinking of. That says a lot right there, either about me or WWE.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 I will now post in the thread before it closes +1
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Survivor Series '01 was basically the Raw set. sad.
LaParkaYourCar Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 The Backlash set has been used and re-used since 2000, I believe This year's Backlash had a totally new set though.

I liked the Armageddon 1999 set with all the war Machines and shit

The sad thing about that is that it was just BEGGING, BEGGING to be vandalized by the nWo, seeing as how that was their WWE debut, but it wasn't. Just another minor point in the book of 1,000,000 Things Wrong with the nWo in WWE
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 speaking of sets....in rerospect i kind of liked the WMX8 set....when i first went there and saw it i thaught it was gaudy and was one big mess. The X7 set looked decent too. I wonder what theyre gonna do for WMXX in MSG, i hope they do the classic rampway down the middle of the arena and now some giant stage.
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 I liked the Armageddon 1999 set with all the war Machines and shit Same here. It was simple, creative, and gave the PPV a nice atmosphere. They should think along these lines before condtructing some monstrosity that the fans wont give a damn about.

With The Logo having the aisle come out of it...
Guest JaKyL25 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Wasn't it Judgment Day this year that looked like an incomplete piece of pipe structure crap and actually OBSCURED the video screens? Worst. Set. Ever.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 What was Backlash like this year? It sucked for not being the old one. P.S. Vince kept the set in an underground dungeon, where Rob Van Dam was tied to a table and the pendulum kept coming closer, and closer, and closer, until he was saved by La Resistance.
Guest rawmvp Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Who's gonna win the 2004 Royal Rumble? I'm guessing Randy Orton will.
Guest Choken One Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Who's gonna win the 2004 Royal Rumble? I'm guessing Randy Orton will. Zach Gowan is a fucking Lock.

Meanwhile, Ric Flair was stranded at sea in an attempt to finally reel in Shark Boy.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Choken's right. By virtue of not having both feet ever touching the floor, Gowan can never be eliminated from the Rumble. Of course, we all know Maven won last year.
Guest JaKyL25 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Who's gonna win the 2004 Royal Rumble? I'm guessing Randy Orton will. Zach Gowan is a fucking Lock. Seriously--how WILL they compensate for that?
Guest Choken One Posted August 3, 2003 Report Posted August 3, 2003 Choken's right. By virtue of not having both feet ever touching the floor, Gowan can never be eliminated from the Rumble. Of course, we all know Maven won last year. Ummm...Two Years Ago.
