Bless ye thy Swagsuke.

Still disappointed I wasn't able to go to this, but not a bad PPV. The lighting really bothered me for some reason. Seems like such a stupid gripe but something was off.

It was definitely the building they were in. They had to work with what they were given I guess. Hammerstein>Terminal 5.

The show as a whole though was a bit anticlimactic due to the lackluster opener, Roddy Strong match and RD Evans match.

I however enjoyed the highlights of this show very much

- 6 man tag

- Timesplitters vs Redragon

- Lethal vs Sydal

- Cole vs Briscoe

What was the main event?

The Rock in "San Andreas"

He sure likes to work with Carla Gugino a lot. This is I believe their 4th movie.

Probably more to do with the lack of space. Still irked the **** out of me the entire time.

So the Green Ranger Jason David Frank wants to fight Punk in his debut. I wonder if Dana would go for that? I'm sure it would get buys from people who don;t normally watch the UFC.

 

[cabel]

JDF's been challenging Punk for at least a year.

 

[Wheels]

I love Punk, you guys know I do, but Punk facing JDF in the biggest MMA company in the world would be a joke. It sounds like Fox's Celebrity Boxing;

Adam Cole vs Jay Briscoe

So apparently today on Wrestlingforum some people were going ape sh!!t because Ziggler made a playful tweet promoting the Social Media Slammy by joking that you should vote for Cena if you like cut and paste tweets with a jab at tweens. At times, it's like when someone in WWE says Cena's name in a sentence, it can only be followed with "Is the best thing since sliced bread" or guys like Ziggler are the biggest jerks in the world somehow.

Yet no one acts like Reigns killed their cat when he more or less said he was better than Cena in every way and takes exception to being compared to him in an interview. Some criticized him but didn't blow a damn gasket.

Rollins doesn't get that treatment when he criticizes Lesnar's not being here in an interview.

I'd like to think WWE wouldn't be such hypocritical man children themselves but people seem to really think Ziggler will get buried for a playful tweet for the Slammys...that he hasn't had to delete.

I feel the need to elaborate why Punk vs Frank is a horrible idea. Punk has to build credibility with UFC audience. He isn't going to do that against an actor from Power Rangers. Frank might have had some fights but the perception will be that it's a stunt fight between a kids show actor and a pro wrestler.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i'd definitely want to see frank vs punk
but like wheels said maybe not a good idea for his first fight

 

[Wheels]

If Punk wins a few fighta, and Frank signs with UFC and wins a few fights, then you do it. Right now they both aren't seen as real fighters.

Ricky Steamboat Vs. Rick Rude: Excellent opening match between these two going at it for 17 minutes. Steamboat makes a rare botch by letting his hand hit the mat 3 times after being put in the Camel Clutch by Rick Rude, which even The Body pointed out. Disqualification ending to protect The Ravishing One as this was his second match on PPV.

Dino Bravo Segment - The Canadian Strongman attempts to set a new world record by bench pressing 715 pounds (including the bar). I think it was definitely all Vince McMahon's idea. It was done to kill time and inform those who don't go to the gym. Bravo gets some great heat by asking the crowd in Hamilton, Ontario for complete and total silence then stalling. Frenchy Martin adds to it by speaking French. After attempting a walk out due to the fans not being respectful to him, Bravo comes back and fails to break the record when he doesn't lift all the way up, but ironically, he could've actually done it without Jesse Ventura's help if he hadn't tired himself out by doing so many reps with lower weight beforehand (he was struggling at lifting 650 lbs.) The Body berates McMahon and defends the new unofficial world record.

The Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki) Vs. The Glamour Girls (Judy Martin and Leilani Kai) - This was one of the greatest women matches in WWE history. The fact this was a 2/3 Falls for the Womens Tag Team Titles made it even better. Double dropkick finisher for the third and final fall for the title change. Judy Martin said this was her favorite match in her career.

Hogan / Roussimoff Segment - The contract signing for the WWF Championship rematch between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant for the upcoming Main Event TV Special. President Tunney makes a rare appearance for this auspicious occasion. With Ted Dibiase by his side, Andre refuses to sit down for a few minutes then changes his mind before sitting down. Amazingly, the chair is strong enough to hold his weight! Andre takes his time going over the paperwork (while The Million Dollar Man is trash talking Hogan) before signing it then attacks The Hulkster before he can finish his turn!

The 1988 Royal Rumble - Pat Patterson's baby made its debut and it didn't go on last despite the event's name. Strange. Bret Hart and Tito Santana are the first two men in the years long annual tradition. Butch Reed, Jake Roberts, Harley Race, Don Muraco, Hillbilly Jim, and The Junkyard Dog were also in this. The Ultimate Warrior entered near the end at Number 18. He ran to the ring and I think that's where he got the idea to make it part of his entrance from! Duggan's win after last eliminating The One Man Gang was the biggest in his WWF career. HO!

The Islanders (Haku & Tama) Vs. The Young Stallions (Paul Roma and Jim Powers) - Your second 2/3 Falls Match on the match. That awkward moment when you realize Paul Roma is in the main event...

Re: Punk

Michael Bisping wants first dibs at Punk. That'll be fun!

God damn it, Dolph!

Who took the belt off Elgin?

So Rey is coming back.

God damn it, Dolph!

Come one dude, Do you really think they'll punish Dolph again simply because "Best thing since sliced bread" didn't follow the name John Cena in a tweet?

I'm sure if he said anything inflammatory(he didn't), they would have made him delete it like Punk and Ryback have had to.
