chirs3 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 It's somewhat short notice, but we ARE heading up to Genesis, and that seems like the best time to have a "Best locations" tour, so I'm getting this up now. I'll get a list of all SWF PPV's up tomorrow - tired and lazy tonight. Just wanted to get this up, and let you talk amongst yourselves. Also, SWF PPV's only. I'm ruling out IGN and SJL PPV's, mainly because there'd be way too many nominees otherwise.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 From my tenure, Genesis VI and 13th Hour 2006.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 From the Fire '03 Genesis IV Ashes 2 Ashes '03 13th Hour '05
Ace309 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Ground Zero 2002... 2002? 2002. The one with the Clanival/Carnilan vs. M7 1.0 in War Games, and ELM vs. some loser in Ultimate Submissions.
JJ Johnson Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I'm torn, because Genesis IV is undoubtedly the best PPV of all time. But one more Genesis in Madison Square Garden and I strangle somebody.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 We could always go to Vancouver: G3 was damned good, too.
Toxxic Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Ground Zero 2005, or Ashes 2 Ashes 2004. Means I can go to the UK again. Otherwise... er, I'm supposed to remember where PPVs were? Anything that wasn't Ashes 2 Ashes was either on a World Tour or some random American location, and they're all the same.
chirs3 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) You're not really meant to remember where they were, just which shows were the best. So the shows leading up to Genesis VII will come from the locations of the SWF's best shows ever. Edited July 26, 2006 by chirs3
chirs3 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Preliminary List: Snake Eyes 2002 Apocalypse 2002 Crossfire 2002 Defiance 2002 Thirteenth Hour 2006 Thirteenth Hour 2005 Thirteenth Hour 2004 Thirteenth Hour 2003 From the Fire 2006 From the Fire 2005 From the Fire 2004 From the Fire 2003 Clusterfuck 2006 Clusterfuck 2005 Clusterfuck 2004 Clusterfuck 2003 Ground Zero 2005 - London Ground Zero 2005 - Vegas Ground Zero 2004 Ground Zero 2003 Ground Zero 2002 Battleground 2006 Battleground 2005 Battleground 2004 Battleground 2003 Battleground 2002 Genesis 6 Genesis 5 Genesis 4 Genesis 3 SWF Ramadomination SWF Fight Before Christmas SWF Slay Ride SWF Holds Down Christmas Ashes 2 Ashes 2005 Ashes 2 Ashes 2004 Ashes 2 Ashes 2003 Ashes 2 Ashes 2002 Edited July 26, 2006 by chirs3
chirs3 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Posted July 26, 2006 An idea - what if we decided in Chat, like the Top 25 Stupidest Moments? Do it by committee and stuff. Who would be up for that?
Smartly Pretty Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 After doing some screwing around with page numbers on the board, I stumbled into Genesis V. Supposedly CC was pissed off with that? Anyone wanna fill me in, cause I was confused. But yay for that super cool list.
Bruce Blank Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 I don't know if it was any good or not but for historical purposes how about the first ever SWF PPV? Whatever it was, where ever it was it would still be a fitting location IMO
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 After doing some screwing around with page numbers on the board, I stumbled into Genesis V. Supposedly CC was pissed off with that? Anyone wanna fill me in, cause I was confused.The short version? A gang of people no-showed, most notorious of which was Johnny, who no-showed the main event as the defending World Heavyweight Champion. Not our finest hour.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 I don't know if it was any good or not but for historical purposes how about the first ever SWF PPV? Whatever it was, where ever it was it would still be a fitting location IMOWell, the first "official" SWF PPV was Battleground '02, which featured six title matches: the Clan (Spider Nekura & Thoth) defending the Tag Team Titles against The Prophet and Savior, Sarah and Pete for the Hardcore Title (so that's where all the beef comes from... ), Jay Dawg vs K-Os and Lady Red in a Triple Threat for the US Title, the two greatest Cruisers of all time, ELM and Fallout, 2/3 falls for the LHW Title, Sacred and Edwin for the ICTV Title, and Thugg vs Xstasy vs Grand Slam for the "Big Gold Belt." So, just judging by the card, I'd say it's a pretty good show, but form your own opinion; I'd read it just for the ELM/Fallout match... did I mention that they're the two greatest Cruisers of all time?

Chuck Woolery Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 i still can't believe that we didn't catch more shit for doing ground zero from two locations. and by "cant believe" i mean "love".
Ace309 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Heh heh. Yeah. I still love that I got away with lazily booking a survivor series match for Ashes 2 Ashes and it ended up advancing pretty much every storyline in the fed.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 After re-reading, Clusterfuck 06 was pretty badass.
chirs3 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) An idea - what if we decided in Chat, like the Top 25 Stupidest Moments? Do it by committee and stuff. Who would be up for that? Not I, said the fox. Not I, said the fly. Has to rhyme, you dork. Either that, or it's Yet Another Reference That Went Over My Head. Probably the latter. I suggest committee because I imagine most here can't (or just won't) read all of these then vote between the day I posted them and the day the AftershoxXxxX card goes up... Decision by committee would just make the whole process easier. That said, I'm entirely open to suggestion here. Would you guys be willing to read all/most of these and send in votes (gotta be secret~!) to me, by Sunday evening? Or do you have other ideas for how to decide? Edited July 29, 2006 by chirs3
chirs3 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Posted July 29, 2006 Or we could run the Canadian Tour (or some other tour) up to Genesis, and give people more time to finalize their list and vote.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 ....That's a Little Red Hen reference, Raynor. ...
JJ Johnson Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 Or >>>>WE COULD RUN THE CANADIAN TOUR (or some other tour) up to Genesis, and give people more time to finalize their list and vote.
Bruce Blank Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 Oh like Canada is any more real than the imaginary tour we're just been on
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 How could you have never heard of The Little Red Hen? Didn't your parents ever read to you when you were a child? To be fair, though, I've seen some variations: the version that I had as a kid had [fox, goose, pig], but I've also seen [duck, dog, cat], and even [dog, cat, rat]. And, of course, Walt Disney's version just had Pig and (Donald) Duck, IIRC.
JJ Johnson Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 If I read The Little Red Hen, I don't remember it. I do remember We're Going On A Bear Hunt, though; good stuff. Swishy swashy, swishy swashy, swishy swashy.
Toxxic Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 I'm with J3 both on bear hunt and the Canadian Tour.
chirs3 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 The only children's stories I remember growing up with are Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No-Good Very Bad Day, and Why Mosquitos Buzz In People's Ears. I'm sure there were others, but those are the only two I recall.
