I started doing a yearly recap last year. During the past year, I’ve found myself referring to that post quite a few times so I figured I’d do it again this year. Got something you want me to cover in 2012? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do!

#10 – Thoughts At 35 No matter how hard I try, I continue to get older. On this “milestone” birthday I decided to jot down a few musings.
The boys love Mr. Matt. They look forward to his trips here every year just about as much as I do. So, while they’re bummed that SuperDad isn’t going to be around this weekend, they’re super excited that Dad gets to hang out with his buddy. We were sitting around the dinner table last night and I mentioned to them that Mr. Matt wasn’t going to believe just how big they’d gotten and that I’d show pictures of them on my phone.
Naturally, that lead to the conversation of exactly WHAT pictures I was going to show Mr. Matt and… Continue reading
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
Now before you get your panties in a bunch realize that I’m not… Continue reading
Event: WrestleMania XV Date: March 28, 1999 Venue: First Union Center (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Attendance: 20,276
We’re greeted with Boyz II Men doing their version of America The Beautiful. We then get the outstanding “Old School” promo followed by the “Showcase of the Immortals”. This stuff absolutely gives me the chills. I’m a dork and I don’t care who knows it. Wow… awesome. Announcing team of Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler – is this where JR had his stroke?
WWF Hardcore Championship Hardcore Holly defeated Billy Gunn (c) and Al Snow This is an interesting little opener with Al Snow… Continue reading
Event: WrestleMania XI Date: April 2, 1995 Venue: Hartford Civic Center (Hartford, Connecticut) Attendance: 16,305
The opening montage talks about the special guest stars that will be in attendance at the event including Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, etc. Looking like the WWF is starting to REALLY branch out into “sports entertainment” at this point. We get a Special Olympian’s rendition of America The Beautiful. She’s over singing BIG time complete with the waggle in her voice. I don’t care if she’s “special” – she sucks.
The Allied Powers (Lex Luger and The British Bulldog) defeated The Blu Brothers (Jacob… 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 28: Recap, Thoughts & Drinking Game Results
For those of you that are regular readers of the blog here and AREN’T wrestling fans don’t worry… this is the last wrestling related post for a while.
With that being said, WrestleMania 28 is officially in the books and it’s time for a recap and a look back at the show that was. As per usual we built our yearly Beeramid which was epic.
First off, I’ll say this was a FAR superior show compared to the last couple of years. I always enjoy WrestleMania weekend cause we turn it into an event, but I have to say the… Continue reading →
