Here’s how out of touch I am with the current WWE product: there was apparently a PPV last night and I had forgotten about it. Oh well, to make up for the lacks of a predictions sheet, here’re the results:

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:
Quick Thoughts On Royal Rumble 2008
I guess if you try hard enough, you’d eventually make it back to the wrestling ring one more time and reclaim your own title. In that respect, welcome back, Michael Buffer.
Oh yeah, Cena’s back too.
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 New Year’s Revolution 2005
New Year’s Revolution… sucked. I mean, seriously, it was a really crappy PPV. To its credit, it’s not the worst, but that doesn’t mean shit because the show was plain bad. Let’s see what matches we have today.
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.
