Yes! They're finally hitting Brisbane!

Oooooooooh, tough call. I may go, because I am yet to see Eddie, Taker, Booker, Cena (main reason to go) or RVD live.. I could afford the $149 tickets, but with plane tickets, its a stretch. Also, no Mr. Angle?

 

I might just wait until the RAW tour so I can see Benoit, Michaels, Benjamin, Jericho (again), Edge (again), Evolution, and EUGENE~!

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Ruthless Aggression time last year, I would've killed for a SmackDown! show... Now it's the other way around.

 

Even if the show's nothing great, the atmosphere and just seeing it all in general should be.

[Adam 0]

NO AUSTRLAIAN TOUR will beat Global Warning. 56,000 people, good card, AWESOME atmosphere. You could not duplicate that night if you tried. Especially if you bought the two hundred buck seats and posed as a photographer to get to behind the $750 dollar seats. The only thing I was pissed about GW was the fact that Rock's Elbow pad was caught by the guy behind me.

 

Rock-HHH-Lesnar was above average, but the atmosphere made the match. Same with Jericho-Edge and Filthy Animals-UnAmericans. Hell, Kurt Angle pulled the best match of Tests career out of him, IMO (which wasn't put on the fucking DVD). You just couldn't beat that night, which is why I will only go to a show if it has the same (or better) star power.

 

GW had: Rock, HHH, Lesnar, Angle, Rey, Jericho, Edge, and Christian.

SmackDown has: Taker, Eddie, Cena, RVD, Rey, Dudleys.

If RAW comes, it will have: Benoit, HHH, HBK, Jericho, Edge, Christian, Orton, Batista, Flair and Kane (maybe Foley, if he's back by that time).

 

RAW wins.

Minor incident on tour when Bradshaw did a Crocodile Dundee impression in front of an Australian crowd. 5,000 people were ejected for throwing Fosters into the ring. No charges are being pressed, but the government may encourage those in attendance to drink better beer.

[spiny norman 0]

See, that whole stereotype about Aussies with Foster's, I just don't get.

 

Nobody I know drinks Foster's, due to it being pissweak. If anybody brings Foster's to a party, they are usually complained about for not bringing anything of any worth.

[Guest INXS]

I heard a rumor that Bradshaw is intending to dress up in prison garb especially for the tour.....

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Adam, I was at Global Warning and agree to it's awesomeness. What it may have lacked in other entertainment it more than made up for in wrestling quality.

 

They wanted to make an impact due it being the first show in nearly two decades, and they succeeded.

 

I'd rather XXXX stereotypes than Fosters. And I can't wait to hear JBD work the crowd.

 

La Resistance last year: "What is a wanker? Is that supposed to be some kind of an insult?"

Crowd: "You are, a wanker!" *Clap clap, clap clap, clap.*

Did RVD even sign his new deal? I thought his old one ended before July 12.

[muzz 0]

Not coming to Adelaide again? Well, at least it's the Smackdown! brand that's not coming this time.

[Guest Your Winner...]

I can't imagine them ever coming to adelaide, some bands dont even tour here and only do the east coast for monetary reasons, so i can't imagine something with 50-odd (?) people in the party breaking even in little old adelaide.

 

It's worth the trip for sure, I went to both GW and ruthless agression and loved every minute of it. I missed the Perth one due to money/timing issues but methinks this ones gonna get booked in quick smart.

 

p.s. from adelaide so the above isnt any east coast bias

[Guest Your Winner...]

Hell, Kurt Angle pulled the best match of Tests career out of him, IMO (which wasn't put on the fucking DVD).

Does anyone else think they didnt put it on the dvd or the tape due to tests fall from the turnbuckle to the floor?

 

Thats the only reason we could ever think of.

The guy who caught the elbow pad was about 1m behind me!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

**MARKS OUT FOR BEING NEXT TO NICE GUY ADAM AT GLOBAL WARNING**

 

......and no Hobart either

 

 

lol, yeah, like I was expecting any different!

[edotherocket 0]

I think we all anxiously await the day that there is a "WWE Hobart Havoc" tour.

[Guest croweater]

Well, we did have the WWA (?) come down.... they got 2000 people!!!!!

[Kardo 0]

Well, we did have the WWA (?) come down.... they got 2000 people!!!!!

Not the WWA to Melbourne. The boring chants during Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles were hilarious.

 

That Test vs. Kurt Angle match was pretty good for a Test match. I think it was because of the face/heel reactions at the time since Kurt was a heel back then and a face at the show.

[Guest croweater]

I would have creamed for Lynn and AJ.

 

No,

 

It was Typhoon, Barbarian, Tatanka, One Man Gang and CURT HENNING!!!!!!!

 

I marked like a bitch for CURT!!!! he and 1 man gang bled all over the place. It was a good match and I was surprised at the amount of effort they put in. Everything else was crapperific.

When is the WWE going to tour Africa again?

 

[Guest Cammo]

I think Ill be going to Melbourne and Qld shows.

 

Sounds pretty shit shows, but hey - Ill take any excuse to catch up with the smart mark crew.

 

I honestly think that TNA would outdraw the Smackdown crew, given the dates/arenas there.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Bradshaw would probably channel Mansa Musa for an African tour.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

UYI gets to see the Undertaker in person.

 

I get to see the Undertaker in person

 

Hold me.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Wow, I meant to say Saba Simba earlier, which many, many more of the people in here would have gotten.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Are you sure everyone here has seen the Lion King?

[Art Sandusky 0]

(rimshot)

 

... poor Tony Atlas.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Kardo, were you at that WWA show in Melbourne? How about that little fucking kid that yelled out "We want Sting!" while Bret Hart was coming to the ring for an announcement?

 

UYI, you're going to need more than someone just holding you if you find out you can go to a 'Fan Axxess'-esque thing.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

THEY HAVE A FAN FESTIVAL WHERE I CAN MEET THE UNDERTAKER!?

 

*dies*

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

The Undertaker visiting Australia for the first time would probably warrant one alone.

 

So what are you gonna do, go smark on him or just stand in front of him quivering?

 

And after it all, you can say "The Undertaker has been in my town." All of the history, the moments, the memories. "He's been in my town."

[Adam 0]

I was at the tour in 2000 as well. At that time I was about 14 and had no fucking clue who anyone except LOD and Henning was. If I was just a couple of years older, I would have stayed and payed the extra 20 or 30 bucks to get Perfect's autograph, and I would have talked to him as well.

[Guest Deviant]

Sure, announce Torrie but make no mention of a cruiserweight presence. If Paul London was on that confirmation list, I'd be busting out the $330 as we type. The bastards will confirm all the cruisers they're bringing after the tickets go on sale, so I can then regret not wasting my money.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Agreed. But I can see London on the show, probably being squashed by whatever Oriental guy they're trying to get over at that time.
