It All Comes Back To Pro Wrestling

Published April 29, 2011 | By Chewie

In case you’ve been living under a rock there was a wedding this morning. Prince William married “commoner” Miss Catherine (a.k.a. Kate) Middleton. I’m happy to say that I completely ignored the hype for this story. I didn’t give a shit, didn’t set my DVR, and didn’t stay up late to watch it. However… as I was kissing the wife & kids goodbye this AM I turned on the TV and the live coverage happened to be on. Just as in this previous post where real life imitates pro wrestling, a certain wrestler immediately came to mind when I saw… Continue reading →

Double Main Event (Kind Of) – WrestleMania VIII

Published June 7, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania VIII Date: April 5, 1992 Venue: Hoosier Dome ( Indianapolis, Indiana) Attendance: 65,167

This show was billed as having a “double main event” which rarely (if ever) works out. I believe that this is the first Mania event that I watched live on PPV. We get Gorilla and Bobby Heenan on the mic here which is a good lineup. Reba McEntire sings the national anthem. It seems weird that the WWF can never make up its mind. National anthem or America The Beautiful?

Shawn Michaels (with Sensational Sherri) defeated El Matador Tito’s gone “El Matador” on us… Continue reading →

Super Stars And Stripes Forever – WrestleMania VII

Published May 11, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania VII Date: March 24, 1991 Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena (Los Angeles, California) Attendance: 16,158

At WrestleMania VI, it was announced that this event would be held at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Between WM VI and now, the venue was changed to the Sports Arena. According to the WWF at the time, this was due to some death threats that Slaughter had received. Other reports say it was due to slow ticket sales. Personally I’m of the opinion that it was the latter. WrestleMania VI had over 67,000 people in attendance and here we’ve got just over… Continue reading →
