Reminds me of Jim Cornette's point in the 1997 Timeline interview. (Cornette was pointing out that San Antonio was not much of a tourist attraction, therefore it was a mistake to do a stadium show there (Royal Rumble 1997). Aside from, I think, ringside, every ticket in the arena was cheaper than dirt, and they still couldn't sell the place out.) Couldn't have picked a worst example since San Antonio revolves around tourist attractions... the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Texas stereotypes, the Missions, etc. At one point, San Antonio, Boston, San Francisco and New Orleans were the four cities with the biggest stream of revenue coming from tourism. That doesn't mean I disagree with Cornette's point that SA was a bad choice for doing a Dome show in 1997. It is a poor city with poor people and early 1997, wrestling wasn't really hot yet.

What's so good about Ring Ka King? I haven't watched it.

Be happy that the Rock has returned to help the bottom line and stop complaining because he didn't shake your hand in the middle of his incredibly busy schedule.

Whoo is Alex Marvez?

Hell, regardless of when you made them, they can't be more embarassing than SK ratings.

Taker definitely... Trips can't say no.

He won't win the match but he'll win the WAR!!!

The new SMW set is ready for pre-order. Check the trading section for match listing.

I am betting your head doesn't explode because you don't care about the current product. It will explode if Kawada does a run-in and HELPS HHH break the streak.

I can get behind a Cody-Show match at Mania 100% Also, Alvarez said he doesn't think they will do MITB at the show

He might get stuck on Team Teddy Long.

The new SMW set will be released later on tonight so keep an eye out for it in the trading forum.

Maybe they will construct the Cell as Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock and Nickleback perform a pre-match concert.

According to Meltzer, Shaq will be at MAnia. I agree with your points and I have no desire to see Shaq wrestle anyway so if they go Show-Cody, that is only a plus for me.

The Rock vs. John Cena HHH vs. Undertaker (Hell In A Cell) CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho Bryan Daniel vs. Sheamus Big Show vs. Shaq (Shaq claims he will be there and they are playing up the idea that Show lost to a boxer and sumo wrestler at Mania) Team Teddy Long vs. Team Johnny Ace Woman's Match (Beth vs. Kharma?) Money In the Bank (Maybe?) If this is the line-up we are going with, I am happy with it. If anyone wants to meet up in Miami, let me know. I'll be hanging out with Brent Baker that weekend in South Florida.

After thinking about the Multi-man tag, I wonder if they still have plans for a MITB match at Mania. With tonight's injuries, they may not be able to fill both matches.

Love this match . It was one of the first puro tapes I picked up when I first started buying tapes but I never heard anyone give it strong praise.

Welcome back

I ran a lucha bulk that he was part of about 4 years ago. He sent the money but not his address. Never responded to emails or PMs to give me his mailing address. I held on to the discs hoping he would reappear. Finally got rid of them about 6-8 months ago.

I agree with almost everything here. I was surprised how easy it was to digest the ECW stuff. Going in to the project, I was thinking it would be hard to get through the matches. In the end, the hardest part of the project was deciding what extras to leave on the cutting room floor.

I love Animal House references. Good times.

Break it down for those of us who don't dare step foot there.

British dudes copying American rock n roll and blues artists. This isn't the same "copying" we're talking about. I was pointing out the irony of America importing a couple of bands that were just copying American music in the first place. Much more interesting topic than if Japanese culture translates well overseas.
