Champ Swagger also jobbed to Taker in a pretty solid Raw match.

I know next-to-nothing about WWE since I was a kid, but I'm taking my 8-year-old son to the WWE Raw World Tour event on July 29 up in Louisville for his birthday. So I'm reading all the relevant threads here, and learning a lot.
So what are the chances AJ (<3) shows up on our night?
Any tips to make the night awesome?
Will there be T-shirts for sale?
Is there any chance of him getting an autograph from somebody?
How long do the events usually last?

Pretty high.
Get drunk. Take a sign.
Yes.
Chances are low.
About 3 hours, in my experience.
For anyone going to Wrestlemania this year, and planning to go to Ring of Honor....hope you got money now:
Personally, if I'm in East Rutherford, NJ and Dragon Gate USA, Chikara, CZW, Evolve and Shine are already hosting events there this weekend.....fuck going into NYC for a wrasslin show. Thankfully, I'm not going next year and don't have to make that choice.

I don't know much, but in my experience getting really into chants with the crowd makes things the most enjoyable. The crowds can be so much funnier and more active than television makes them out to be and my favourite thing at shows is seeing people genuinely excited to yell at wrestlers!

Good suggestion!
Just saw there's a Raw event on the same night at the other end of Kentucky that has all my son's favorite wrestlers (plus AJ) scheduled to appear, so it looks like we're getting the sloppy seconds (Cena, Big Show, Kofi, Tensai, Clay, Marella, Swagger, Layla, and Phoenix). But we'll make the most out of it!

Promo vid for CM Punk's DVD. Coming out in October and special guest starring a familiar face:

Speaking of AJ, she put on Twitter that she's single.
Which is either a ruse and a way to increase the ratings for the male teen demographic even more or legit.
But, my chances for getting into her pants have just increased from 0,000000000001% to like 0,000000000002% so I'll fucking take it!
Anyway, busy at work today so didn't have time to download Impact yet, should I start getting excited or did it suck?

So I guess this is the follow up to The Rock DVD released up to WM. It is literally just that documentary and wall-to-wall promos.
Disc 1
Disc 2

As much as they wanted this to be a thing, I have high doubts on the sales of this one. First off, Rock vs. Cena wasn't all that great a feud. It wasn't bad or anything, just not anything special in hindsight.
Made worse by the fact that Cena's loss really didn't do nothing, other then guarentee they'd do it all over again next year with Cena coming out up top this time.
Ah, who am I kidding, Cena is on it, it'll sell a million-gazillion copies.

I don't know if Wrassle gaf can handle that kind of excitement.

Rock trying to be aggressive/intense and Cena smirking away. Rock vs. Cena in a nutshell.

I'll buy it, because I was there.
I'm hoping to attend WrestleMania next year and I'm not really convinced about getting tickets for this ASAP. I'm almost certain I would be able to get a ticket pretty easily right before I leave for my flight to New York. Plus the above shows you mentioned are more appealing to me than ROH at the moment, and I'm not even that into Evolve, DGUSA and CZW. In fact, Chikara on its own is enough for me to see a-non WWE show during my time there.
If you're planning on going to Ring of Honor, you probably need to get the ticket ASAP. They usually do big numbers in Hammerstein without the Wrestlemania weekend crowd, so I imagine these tickets will sell a lot quicker than last year.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Cena no-sells the feud even on the fucking DVD cover. Infuriating.

The stupid entrances with the unwanted musical performances killed the match for me before it started.
Can't remember much from it, other then that Rock got tired really quickly and there was this awkward moment where they were doing sleeper holds on the mat way too long and the fact that Cena tried to mock Rock and ate a Rock Bottom for it.
I don't remember it being bad (outside of the horrible entrances), but can't really say it was anything special.
I do like this playlist wwe.com put up: http://www.wwe.com/videos/playlists/aj-wild-spiral-of-instability-playlist

If I were going, my decision on whether or not to make the extra effort to see ROH would be based on how much of a Supercard it really is. The last few years have been particularly lacklustre compared to the first four;
I; CIMA, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Dragon Kid, Genki Horiguchi, Ryo Saito, Chris Hero & Necro Butcher
II; YAMATO, Naruki Doi, CIMA, Dragon Kid, Masaaki Mochizuki, Shingo Takagi, Susumu Yokosuka & Ryo Saito
III; Go Shiozaki, BxB Hulk, Shingo Takagi, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, CIMA, Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito & Genki Horiguchi
IV; Katsuhiko Nakajima, KENTA, Blue Demon Jr, Magno, Incognito, Alex Koslov & D-Lo Brown
V; Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Amazing Kong & Balls Mahoney
VI; no outside talent
Bringing over some Japanese talent from either of the big 3 companies could easily elevate this supercard of honor to a must-see show.

How could you forget? throughout every pointless backstage comedy sketch, Brodus Clay time waster and awful musical performance stating that Cena is an underdog I was thinking "this time could've gone to Sheamus vs Bryan".

Ah but Kane was one of the few Wrestlemania highlights.
True story: I saw this match live and completely forgot that it existed until you posted this.
Clearly my mind couldn't hold all of the awesome of seeing Kane live, or something.

So what you're saying is you enjoyed Brodus and his mamas? you sick freak!
Now something tells me that your last sentence isn't very true at all, you're lying through your teeth, better get Issac Yankem on the case.

I was so furious over the D-Bry thing at WM that it really ruined the night for me. I couldn't get into the show again till like Undertaker vs Triple H.
I barely even remember what else was on the card cause I just wasn't interested, I remember that celebrity chick shit her pants and then the UT fight.
GRrrrrr, the anger remains!
Yea it was the Jedi birth of Bryan looking back now, but at the time man, fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. >:|
Next night on Raw and the after stuff though was like the exact opposite, from devastation angry to glorious realization that Daniel Bryan is now a thing.
COooooooooooooome on, only a few days away till WWE CHAMPION
YES! YES! YES!

I had a WM party with the gf and friends and while I knew DBry was going to lose, I didn't think it would happen like that. I was genuinely upset and much like you, couldn't get back into the show until Taker/HHH. I just didn't understand the logic behind it all.
And then the following episode of RAW was one of the greatest things I have watched.
YES! YES! YES!

I instinctively reached for the remote when that happened.
Then I realized I paid $60 for the show and had to watch the rest of it. =/
You know what I noticed about last night's Impact? TNA didn't shit on the fans who bought the PPV by doing Aries vs Roode II the following week on tv. I know they set up Aries vs Roode for Open Fight Night, but this is different. It's non title, and Roode has gone crazy without his belt.....I'd almost say Roode went Ric Flair crazy last night, was half expecting him to elbow drop his suit. Next week's Impact should be good.
So I guess this is the follow up to The Rock DVD released up to WM. It is literally just that documentary and wall-to-wall promos.

I'd pay $10 for this. No more.
I was pretty upset about the Daniel Bryan match as well. I was in a theatre watching, so the little jimmies cheered when Sheamus won, but the deep voices of the men in the audience overpowered them with boos, and a "money back" chant.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Okay, there's one specific Kane moment I've been trying to remember for ages. It was during a time when Kane was allied with Taker, possibly the first time, since this had to be around 98 or so. It was on Raw, and Austin Stunnered Kane and left him knocked out and bleeding in the ring. I just remember it so vividly because up until that time, nobody had ever kicked Kane's ass like that. I'd really love to see it again, but I can't ever find it. Any help would be appreciated!
Well, it'd probably been easy to miss if the entire match took place behind a giant palm tree.

Sorry, while everyone here likes Kane I don't think we have anyone who has encyclopedic knowledge about him and could easily track down that moment.
No one at all.
We had pretty great seats, but yeah that structure was absurd for a lot of the audience
Speaking of that what 'era' ended after the match?since hhh is back whereas taker is supposed to be at raw 1000 while even j.r. is back on nxtI was so furious over the D-Bry thing at WM that it really ruined the night for me. I couldn't get into the show again till like Undertaker vs Triple H.

Dammit, I missed Impact again. Anything good I should catch on Youtube?
Bully Ray/Joseph Park was good as usual, The Aries/Roode segments were awesome, Roode almost went Ric Flair crazy over loosing his title. RVD/Joe and Anderson/Angle were decent BFG matches. Also, Aces and Eights closed out the show with another attack.
Spike TV is posting complete episodes on their website on a seven day delay.....but youtube should have it much faster.
