So this year’s WrestleMania main event was set a full year in advance. One day after WrestleMania 27, The Rock and John Cena took to the middle of the ring on RAW the next night and set the stage for this year’s main event. And while some people (myself included) haven’t really enjoyed a year-long build to this year’s Mania main event, I have a suspicious feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to long term booking.
I don’t do great at predictions, but I think I may have this one pegged. I’m… Continue reading
WrestleMania XXVIII (28 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there) will take place on April 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida. For the 7th time, Pip and I (and for the second year in a row, my brother Marko too!) will once again try to “walk that isle” and build… The Beeramid.
Since WWE announced it’s Mania main event the day after last year’s show (Rock vs. John Cena for those not paying attention), I figured we’d better get going and put together rules of engagement for the evening’s festivities.
This year, we’re starting something a bit different. Moving… Continue reading
It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye today to one of my all time favorite wrestlers – The “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Randy (real name Randall Poffo) passed away earlier today after a car accident. Apparently he had a heart attack at the wheel while driving. He was 58 years old.
Randy Savage, best knowing for his time in the WWF with his wife/manager Miss Elizabeth, was one of the best performers in the wrestling business. While he was great as a face (a good guy) I always preferred his work as a heel (a bad… Continue reading
WrestleMania 27 is just a few days away and just as in many previous years there is a “celebrity” on the card. I’ve got celebrity in quotes there cause personally I don’t consider Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from MTV’s Jersey Shore a celebrity. That said, most of the known universe (and certainly much of the WWE universe) knows who she is so Vince shelled out what I’m sure I’d consider way too much money to bring her to the biggest WWE pay-per-view of the year.
Each year as part of our festivities, Pip and I watch the show, drink a few… Continue reading
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
WrestleMania XXVI is in the books and I have to say it was a very good offering overall. Quite frankly this is the type of show I wish they had last year for the 25th anniversary. It wasn’t anything mind blowing but it was a very solid event from top to bottom.
Showmiz vs. Morrison & RTruth – This was a decent opener. I didn’t really surprise me that they kept the straps on Showmiz. Once they lose, The Big Show has absolutely no program to work. That said, it’s not going to be too long before Miz has fewer… Continue reading
WrestleMania XXVI will take place on March 28th in Arizona. I’m happy to say that after working through some logistical issues, Pip and I will once again renew our Beeramid tradition! As with years past, we have created these “rules of engagement” which will help us to construct that glorious structure.
The last time Pip and I got together we came dangerously close to “one night one case” and I’m thinking March 28th just may be the night… time will tell. Let’s get it on!
ED NOTE: Looking back over the photos from last year, we realized that we… Continue reading
So Vince McMahon went on Monday Night Raw the other night and stated that Bret Hart would never be seen in the WWE again. This of course means that we will DEFINITELY see Bret Hart in the WWE again and I’m thinking that will happen very soon. Sounds to me like they’re setting up a Bret vs. Vince WrestleMania match for WrestleMania XXVI (75 days from today!!!)
I have to say that I’ll be incredibly let down if they DON’T pay off this angle. I’m not saying that I need to see a WrestleMania match, but it would be positively… Continue reading
