Ways To Improve Pro Wrestling

I’ve had the idea for this post for quite a while now and I’m finally getting around to actually writing it. I’m not quite sure where its headed, but I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit of a rant. For those readers that aren’t in the mood to listen to me bitch about what’s wrong with the wrestling feel free to move along.

Still with me? OK… here goes. In no particular order.

You think Hogan looks old here? This was in 2008!

Mandatory Retirement Age

WrestleMania 27 – The Morning After

Published April 4, 2011 | By Chewie

WrestleMania 27 is in the books. While Pip, my bro and I had an absolute BLAST building this year’s Beeramid (pics here) I have to say the show was pretty lackluster. It took a good 24 minutes after the show started for the first match to get underway… that’s just WAY too long in my opinion (even with the Rock starting things off).

Edge retained the World Title over Alberto Del Rio I thought for SURE that Del Rio was going to walk out of Mania with the strap. Not sure where the WWE is going to go… Continue reading →

Rumbling Right Along Toward Mania

Published March 16, 2011 | By Chewie

We’re smack dab in the middle of the Road To WrestleMania. Ever since the Royal Rumble in January, the WWE has kicked it into high gear getting ready for their flagship show. I have to say that going into the Rumble I wasn’t overly optimistic about this year’s show. With the exception of Taker/Shawn I really can’t remember much from last year’s Mania other than to say that it was better than an average Mania. (Here are my thoughts on WrestleMania 26)

As in previous years, Pip and I started out early creating our WrestleMania 27 drinking… Continue reading →

WrestleMania XIV – The Attitude Era Begins With Tyson

Published March 7, 2011 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania XIV Date: March 29, 1998 Venue: Fleet Center (Boston, Massachusetts) Attendance: 19,028

We’re still in the WWF days… I keep thinking we’re flipping over to WWE pretty soon. Good intro here that’s just starting to talk about the “Attitude Era”. Goes into the lineage of the WWF title, introduces Austin, DX, Mike Tyson, etc. We get the announcing duo of Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole on the mic and we go right into the first match of the night with no anthem, America The Beautiful, etc.

WrestleMania 13 – The Match That Made Austin

Published October 26, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania 13 Date: March 23, 1997 Venue: Rosemont Horizon (Rosemont, Illinois) Attendance: 18,197

Brief introduction package on what we’re going to see this evening. Vince, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on the call which is a great announcing lineup. We get right into the first match.

Four-way Tag Team Elimination Match The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) defeated The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw), The Godwinns (Henry and Phineas) (with Hillbilly Jim), and Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon I’m not a big fan of tag team wrestling to begin with so I’m certainly not a fan of 4… Continue reading →

WrestleMania X – Ten Years In The Making

Published July 16, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania X Date: March 20, 1994 Venue: Madison Square Garden (New York, New York) Attendance: 18,065

We kick off the show with images from the original WrestleMania. Little Richard sings America The Beautiful poorly. Pretty sure he was lip syncing and he looks like a damn wax statue. Scary dude. We get Jerry “The King” Lawler and Vince McMahon on the mic.

Owen Hart defeated Bret Hart We get a great recap here pre-match. Probably the best of the series so far. We’re then treated to a weak ass fireworks display and then FINALLY nearly 15 minutes after the… Continue reading →
