Ramblemania 25

Since it’s been about a week since last week’s Wrestlemania both enlightened and disappointed us with a span of four hours, I figured that I’d post my thoughts from the Bite commentary currently in development. This was written the night after, by the way, so opinions now may vary.

Here’s a bit of pointless trivia for you: The actual 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania is NEXT YEAR. This year’s rendition is actually the 25th edition of the flagship wrestling event. But don’t tell anybody that; they might get confused by the whole deal, given the company’s hype and hardline push to convince you otherwise.

WWE Cyber Sunday 2008 Results

Watched a bit of RAW and… well… I couldn’t stay awake Monday – the show bored me to a point where I actually felt like going to bed much earlier. I think that takes some effort when a show actually puts me to sleep and trust me when I say I usually have a hard time getting myself into sleep central.

So if RAW has anything to celebrate, it’ll probably be that. Because the ratings (from what I’ve heard) won’t be the source of joy this week.

I had PPV predictions to post, but shit happens and you know…

So anyway, here’re the results of the show if you haven’t seen it yet:

WWE Armageddon 2006

Let me be honest with you. I haven’t been following Smackdown that much as of late. All the stupid gimmicks and brain-twisting illogics behind the booking makes ECW look inept, not to mention the shows have been getting progressively worse. However, there were a couple of matches worth watching, so I thought “To hell with it. If it ends up being a good show, great. If it ends up being a stinker, then at least it makes up for missing the ECW PPV.”

My first thought on Armageddon when the show was over? It was a good show for once. Something Smackdown has been lacking as of late, but enough about that. Let’s get on with the matches.

WWE Taboo Tuesday 2004 – Live Blog

2018 Introduction
2004 saw me touch on two PPVs; Wrestlemania 20 and Taboo Tuesday. Since I’ve already reposted Mania 20 as part of the Ramblemania feature, I decided to jump ahead with Taboo Tuesday.

Once upon a time, WWE experimented with an interactive PPV format that fans would get to vote on various things. It started off as a Tuesday PPV before it became a Sunday PPV dubbed Cyber Sunday. This kind of PPV hasn’t been attempted again in quite a while, but they tried to do it again on RAW… it didn’t quite workout.

The following was a quick running blog of the PPV in progress. I’m not going to insert any modern thoughts because quite frankly the show is a complete blank and I don’t have a copy on hand to revisit the show. So here it is, as is with non-flattering comments and incoherent ramblings. Enjoy.

One last note: this post was written in 2004 and as such, contains some rather “poor choice of words” if I could find a proper euphemism. I’ve chosen to leave the post as is, so that means those “poor choice of words” stay in unedited. Suffice it to say, reader discretion is strongly advised. Thank you.
