May Wrasslin' |OT| May I Fancy You To A Nice Arse Whipping?

Did we miss this monumental anniversary last week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTDjV5WVCwY

That crowd is hot hot hot

we will never, ever again see a crowd this much into wrestling in our lifetime

97-98 will never be beat, but there are few PPV throughout the 00s where crowds are white hot. Mania XIX has an electric crowd, Flairs retirement match the crowd is off the charts. However those are PPVs and this was a fucking Nitro.

I get so much pleasure out of fast-forwarding through the 20 minutes it takes Takes/Hs to get to the ring and the 20 minutes it takes for them to leave. >_>

If Zach is talking about the Taker/H hardcore match where Undertaker cannot do anything and might as well not be there, 1 star is generous.

They make good with the HIAC though.

Undertaker/H's hardcore match at Manio 27, yes.

Trish Stratus looks healthy.

Snooki is quite athletic. Good for her.
 
I love the OSW guys but man they randomly hate great matches...

Bitching that the crowd was into Roode/Nak at TakeOver because they hated it was pretty funny.

And thinking Asuka/Ember was terrible and going for a smoke during the match.

Them.claiming Allister Black will never get over was pretty funny

They are so much better reviewing bad wrestling...

Their opinions on women are generally trash.

I've generally fallen out with OSW, sad to say. I should catch up on the end of the Dungeon of Doom stuff.

Like with The Lapsed Fan they have a shelf life after which their opinion on Wrestling is no longer interesting to me.

Right now I'm not watching WWE at all, taking a nice long break. I record Impact every week for no particular reason. I listen to the New Generation Project podcast every other week though that will be over by the end of summer. I listen to Keep it 2000 every other week and Review a Wai if it is something interesting. I listen to The Lapsed Fan if it is before the Invasion.

I just watched LU season 1+2. Would probably watch season 3. No interest in ROH or NJPW right now. Could...watch NXT on Hulu I suppose. I might do that.

Each and every WW3 is worth watching because it is such a bad idea.

Very few of the winners make any sense and they have a hard time making it interesting even when they get down to the last few entrants. It's how not to book a battle royale 101.

1 Bobby Roode (c) vs. Hideo Itami Singles match for the NXT Championship[16]
2 Asuka (c) vs. Ruby Riot vs. Nikki Cross Triple threat match for the NXT Women's Championship[17]
3 The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) (c) (with Paul Ellering) vs. #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) Ladder match for the NXT Tag Team Championship[18]
4 Tyler Bate (c) vs. Pete Dunne Singles match for the WWE United Kingdom Championship[19]
5 Roderick Strong vs. Eric Young (with Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain) Singles match[20]

- My dude Hideo is getting a shot? Nice.
- The triple threat is a way for Asuka to lose the belt without eating a pin, right? Fine with me.
- Authors/DIY will be fun, I'm sure.
- Bate/Dunne should be good.
- Strong/Young will probably be fine for an opener. I think I've seen these guys 1-2 times each. >_>

1P Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English Singles match[21]
2 Randy Orton (c) vs. Jinder Mahal (with The Singh Brothers) Singles match for the WWE Championship[22]
3 The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) (c) vs. Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) Tag team match for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship[23]
4 Kevin Owens (c) vs. AJ Styles Singles match for the WWE United States Championship[24]
5 Naomi, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch vs. The Welcoming Committee (Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina) (with James Ellsworth) Six-woman tag team match[25]
6 Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Dolph Ziggler Singles match[26]
7 Baron Corbin vs. Sami Zayn Singles match[27]
8 Luke Harper vs. Erick Rowan Singles match[28]

- The Welcoming Committee?!
- Owens/Styles seems interesting.
- Nakamura's main roster debut is something I will watch.

That's about it.

Battlebowl also had two rings next to each other, IIRC.

Fake edit :Starcade 1992. I thought it was the match where Sting got 'knocked out' against Vader, but that was GAB 1992. Good times.
 
Wargames has them side by side.

Three rings side by side by side would take up too much valuable floor space.

Two separate events with 3 rings...it's too early for this.

Also they had that stupid triple cage match too, the tower or whatever.

Edit: I mean it's dumb, but it's still better than a lot of the gimmicks WWE rolled out. Like the Lion's Den and Buried Alive
