tpww7 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Speaking of the Rexplex, WWE has booked the Elizabeth, New Jersey building for a January 2004 Smackdown house show. From what I am told, WWE was looking into running the venue at the same time as Ring of Honor booked their first event there back in July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Boo_Bradley Report post Posted October 6, 2003 ^ Actually I have a PWI mag from 91 with a Lanny Poffo interview where they show pics of him vs Zuhhov in a High School sized building and the caption says WWF show I'm pretty sure... -- Someone needs to pull out that Money Inc 1993 High School House Show pic from MANY MANY months ago....

tpww7 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Rexplex holds arbout 2,500 max I think. Hey, maybe they'll sell out for once. Or maybe they wont even get as many as ROH did at 1,200, which would give me a good laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Boo_Bradley Report post Posted October 6, 2003 ^ That's kind of an ignorant statement, since MSG sold out this week within minutes for WM XX. ROH wouldn't be able to say the same about any arena over 5000 people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owen meant nothing in May of 1993, and I don't think Taylor was even on TV by that point. Same goes for Typhoon. Ramon was fresh off of his loss to 100-pound Sean Waltman. And Kamala vs. Kimchee?

You would think the mere mention of the WWF would be enough of a draw to bring enough people to adequately fill an arena. And it wasn't even 1995! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2003 Why would they outdraw ROH? Its not like ANYONE would actually go out of their way to see WWE. Even though the product sucks, I would still go see a WWE event anytime. If I was home in CT, I would of gone to Raw tonight. Mohegan Sun is like 20 minutes away from me, so it isn't like going out of my way. But that isn't the point, I would still go to a WWE show anytime, other than a house show.

Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez as the main event? Please. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but seeing as those are my pictures and it was the first WWF show I had ever been to, the card wasn't THAT bad. Not all of the matches listed took place since not everyone advertised showed up (I don't remember Kamala or Typhoon being there), but as a mark, I got to see Tatanka vs. Razon Ramon (2 of my favourites go at it), Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez (I was a 'Taker mark, I'll admit it), and Money Inc. vs. the Steiners. It was awesome. Also, the arena was mostly filled that night, but there are only seats on one side of the ice surface at the Memorial Centre. The side that is seen in those pictures is on the same side as the hockey benches, which just have dressing rooms behind them. The arena used to have a website that had a 360 panorama view from centre ice that would show what I mean better, but it looks like it's down now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 7, 2003 Business is booming and everyone goes home happy: http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/...lt.asp?aID=8618 I saw that at 1bob (unfortunately, pop-ups and all, they're right up there with the Observer in getting the most house show reviews, and getting them up the quickest), and debated over posting it here. But you beat me to it. THE FUTURE TWO SIXTEEN. Move over, Storm 1:08! And thanks for the explanation TC. From the pictures it looked like an elementary school gymnasium.

treble 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2003 It's not a big arena, as I think the listed seating capacity is around 2,000, but I'd say that there were around that many people there that night. It was 10 years ago, though, so my memory's a little fuzzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
