EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 TNA should rent a blimp to go over the stadium during WM. Probably not a good idea in this era to fly a renegade airship out over a major outdoor event. Geico last year rented a small plane to fly a banner advertisement over both a Phillies game and the Pennsylvania 500. Obviously it's legal to some extent. The problem is that they would receive no national exposure from it, it would never make the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 They better get working on that roof that they are supposedly building over the ring. I know that for my college graduation they built a small, temporary roof over the field and it took construction workers more than a week to get it up (and it was much simpler than the one that is supposedly going up for Mania). I wonder if they also are worried about a vocal mob of TNA fans since they are in Orlando. I don't think that there are enough TNA fans out there to get a noticeable vocal reaction. Considering there was a very audible "TNA" chant during the Rosie vs. Trump mock match on Raw from wherever it was from...I think there's enough to be audible in their hometown in a theater. I mean...product aside...they do get over a million viewers. That Raw was in St. Louis, MO. TNA responded by doing a PPV in St. Louis later in the year.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 I can't believe those rankings. Who in their right mind would put WM VII and VIII in the bottom 5? Those are 2 of my favorite shows of all time. For all the bashing of Slaughter doing the Iraq gimmick, the actual match with Hogan was in fact pretty good. And Macho/Warrior is an all time classic. Not to mention the Rockers vs. Barbarian/Haku, Harts vs. Nastys, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By internet fans, yes... by people who consider the top 10 Wrestlemanias (III excluded) as to have happened in roughly the past ten years, not so much. My top 5: Wrestlemania VIII Wrestlemania X-7 Wrestlemania X Wrestlemania III Wrestlemania XIV (And that's debatable) After that, it's up in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Wrestlemania X8 just seems so forgettable to me. Its essentially a one match card (and Hogan/Rock, atmosphere or not, I never liked as much as others. Probably because I wanted to see Austin/Hogan at the time) and the nature of most of the other matches just seems so blah or thrown together (shampoo commercial issues anyone). Taker/Flair is good due to those involved, but otherwise the whole thing feels like it can be missed. 22 didn't do much for me either. Mickie/Trish is great and MITB II has Shelton stealing the show as usual, but outside of those and a fun Foley/Edge brawl nothing else seemed that impressive.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Well, WM XXII had such a mediocre main event scene on it. In particular SD was utter trash with a placeholder champ (Angle), and the real issue between two guys feuding over a dead man. On Raw we had HHH making fun of Cena for being a crap wrestler. Still though, it's a very good WM with Edge/Foley tearing it up, RVD winning MITB (and yes, Shelton was raw in it), etc. In fact XXI had the same problems....really hot undercard, uninspiring main events. The first MITB, Angle/HBK, and so on while you had a whatever HHH/Batista main event and a really crap Cena/JBL SD title match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Former WCW wrestler Chase Tatum died on Sunday afternoon after an apparent accidental overdose, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Chase was recovering from back surgery 10 days earlier to repair a degenerative disc. His body was found by a friend at his Buckhead, Ga. home around 4:00 p.m. The report indicates he was unresponsive and could not be revived. Chase's father, Roy, said he had a painkiller addiction for several years following his short career in WCW. "He was in the process of getting his life back together," Roy said. "He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers." Chase retired from the ring after a brief 2 1/2 year career when severe back problems limited his movement. Without health insurance, he was unable to pay for surgery, which his father claims led to his dependency on pain killers. He was recently in the comedy movie, "Who's your Caddy?" and just landed a role in a movie to be filmed in New York. =========== FYI, Tatum debuted for WCW in 1999 as a member of Master P's "No Limit Soldiers". Once that fizzled, they tried using him as a singles heel, but he didn't pan out. I think he was gone when WCW started budget cuts in fall 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killings could be a solid upper card guy on Raw because of his mic ability, and is good enough in the ring. I don't know about that. I always thought he had good in ring ability, but is mic skills left something to be desired. I found it hard to understand what he was saying sometimes with his accent. I'm not saying that just because you have an accent you can't get a push, but it's hard to understand him sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killings could be a solid upper card guy on Raw because of his mic ability, and is good enough in the ring. Uh... *I* suggested he be called Kwik Killings, when we were discussing on here how we could bring him back in with an emo gimmick. Since 'Kwik' played off his former name, and 'Killings' just sounds emo, and the combination could be a Billy Talent song or something. So he was going to be doing a gimmick where he was angry and crying because he was holding himself down. Seriously, if you read that name anywhere else I'm REALLY worried.
