House Show Results from Saitama, Japan

[Use Your Illusion]

*Kane pinned Rob Van Dam with a chokeslam in 10:45.

WWE keeps on mistreating RVD and then they'll wonder why he won't renew his WWE contract.

You actually want RVD to stay?

 

UYI

true...but if you Hyped an ACTUAL PPV there...They would come in droves since it's not a HOUSE SHOW but an acutal fucking PPV.

 

Hell, I don't see why they can't have Smackdown Taped there...

True, I'd think they do well to have a PPV there but as of now they won't even go over to England for a Raw, Smackdown or PPV. I did hear they were considering having 2004's Royal Rumble in Japan.

Yeah, supposedly at the Tokyo Dome. With Bob Sapp involved.

Interesting, as that would be the LAST PPV, I’d put overseas. The whole element is the Gambling possibility of the rumble itself…that would just ruin it.

I could see WMXXI getting the Dome show, because Vince hasn’t done the “International” show for Mania just yet and it seems only appros after MSG. I doubt they will go to another huge dome like Reliant or EJdome in St. Louis….I hate to see them go to a regular arena for WMXXI…we all know WMXXIII is in Detroit (Ford Field) so I’d like to see Japan get WMXXI and Hawaii get WMXXII

Just air this tape in April and call it Backlash. No need to explain why a few belts aren't around the right waists, either. Just do it.

 

If this show does go to air uneditted in Japan, I know I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for a tape. Some matches have incredible potential to be excellent considering the time they got, and in other cases, I'd just be curious to see what those involved did with all the extra time they never usually get and will never get again.

 

And out of curiousity, how would holding WMXXI in Japan work? I don't know what the time differences are. Could they just hold it at a different time of day in Japan and still have it air around the same time in the US? If so, I think it's an excellent idea. It would never happen, but it's an excellent idea nonetheless. Also, they announced that WMXX would be in MSG at WMXIX, so will they have booked WMXXI's arena by the time XX airs? They usually have, right? It'll be interesting to see which town gets to follow NYC.

MSG has been set in stone for ManiaXX since 1994. Some believed they might do WM15 in MSG instead of Philly…Usually they announce it if it’s a major venue like MSG or Astrodome or Sky dome…Likely WWE hasn’t decided if they want to risk it with St. Louis or go safe with the Georgia Dome, which can pack about 45k in there…I’m banking Georgia Dome is the safety net venue…I’m hoping they treat it with some respect and not wait until November and just have the show in Boston again. If they MUST do it in a Normal Arena, do it in Carolina, it seems like a crime WM hasn’t been in the Carolinas yet. Have it at the Greensboro Coliseum which holds about 25k people…I don’t understand why Hawaii hasn’t hosted ANY ppv at all…It’s perfect weather and you can make a nice makeshift arena ala WMIX. If WWE really wants to prove it’s an INTERNATIONAL company, they need to give it respect…Maybe it’s me but I’m willing to watch a Delayed Tape of a PPV in Japan with a good card and unique atmosphere then watch them have another show in front of a dead crowd in Long Island for the billionth time.
