I ramble about things.

State Of The Blog – July 2023

Happy Canada Day.
This is just a quick update, as I’m presently undergoing some technical issues that’s been slowing things down considerably, but for what it’s worth, the road to Review #1000 is on track. The schedule might be out of whack here and there, but it’s going to happen one way or another.
Aforementioned technical issues has also pretty much cancelled this month’s edition of the DTM-Cast. I’ll see about doing one at the end of the month, but worst case scenario is a new episode is coming around Labor Day weekend in September. I’ve got some stuff recorded, but then shit happens and plans change. Anyway, we’ll see on that front.
In the meantime, there’s 21 Years Ago In TNA that’s going on for a bit, a couple classic WWF 2000 PPV Musings and of all the recent PPV/PLE/POS shows that took place this past month, the only one I’ve seen is the Forbidden Door one last night… so somewhere along the way, there will be musings on that.
That’s about it. Later.

WWF Judgment Day 2000

WWF Judgment Day 2000 is the next PPV on our list of revisiting the WWF PPVs in the year 2000 and it features what I always felt was the best damned Ironman match in the history of Ironman matches. Does that opinion hold up or does it run the risk of losing its would-be crown to the MJF/Danielson match from this year’s Revolution PPV?

21 Years Ago In TNA #02 – Improvement On The Second Show (June 26th, 2002)

So last week, I revisited the very first NWA-TNA PPV and it was a thing that happened. The show may have opened with a recap of prior events, but I will not. You’ll just have to read my previously posted post from last week to catch yourselves up.

Anyway, we’re continuing onwards with the second-ever NWA-TNA weekly PPV, which you can watch on Youtube for free because Impact is such a loving company that’s willing to give stuff for free and hope it’s enough of a selling point to subscribe to their Impact Plus service. We’ll see if this, as well as the next three shows that are also available for us freeloaders, will do just that.

For the record, I have not seen this show in decades… as in, the last time I saw this show was when it first aired. So this is definitely going to be revisiting some forgotten realms… please don’t sue.

WWF Backlash 2000

Well, Wrestlemania 2000 came and went. Triple H managed to become the first heel to walk out of the event as WWF Champion and the show as a whole wasn’t very good despite having some good stuff on it. We’re skipping that one because I already covered this one as part of my Ramblemania series and I’m saving the reboot for next year.

Fortunately, we have Backlash, which usually does a good job of being better than Mania if the 99 show was anything to go by. And besides, we got Rock vs. HHH for the title, with Stone Cold Steve Austin serving as a special enforcer. This will be the first time WWF audiences will get to see Stone Cold live since Survivor Series 99 – not counting the Halftime Heat appearance in made in January, which was a pre-taped interview with Jim Ross. This is, of course, following the crazy empty arena match between Rock and Mankind… and then there was no more Halftime Heat.

Anyway… enough padding. On with the show.
