chirs3 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace309 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toxxic 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chirs3 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Blank 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 0 Report post 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?

Ace309 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
