The Y2J Rock bit was insane. Of the events I personally attended the ovation at the end for Owen Hart was loud:

but the loudest I have ever heard personally at an event was when Undertaker returned at the end of the HHH Rock Iron man match.

Agreed on the Taker debut as the American Badass. That was one of the biggest ones I'd seen.
I specifically remember the crowd being SUPER loud for this match when Jeff Hardy almost had it. This is my favorite Pro Wrestling match of all-time I think.

I HATE The Undertaker (as a wrestler) but even I marked for him when he came out at the end of that PPV. The crowd was just JACKED and then the call at the end people were pissed throwing beer and cups and signs everywhere it was INSANE.Quote:

I had forgotten about the EPIC Foley 1st title win match. That prob was the loudest I have ever heard.
I hope Taker comes back as the badass to finish his career.Quote:

Meh Batista was a solid wrestler and assuming he is actually coming back fulltime will be a nice addition to the roster but he's NOT a HOFer and doesn't have a CULT following (Lesnar) so it will be loud but unless his first feud is against Cena or Orton I don't think it will be a Top 20 type moment.Quote:

I think he'll be a Hall of Famer. He was on top of his game when he turned heel. Then left.

Cannot believe Bryan would treat my family this way. :smh: gonna be hell to pay for mr. yes. :nod:
PPV was pretty good. Predictable though. Sheamus coming back was the biggest surprise. Missed that fella. BIG outrage at Batista winning. Not sure why the outrage, this was expected for a month now :D but I guess the face Batista will be short lived. I guess he's got heat backstage already for getting into it with a fan, flipping him off, and then mocking Daniel Bryan.
Perfect opportunity for the WWE to fix this at Elimination Chamber with Batista vs. Bryan for the main event at WM. Then have the Chamber match be for the #1 contender at the PPV after, or make WM a triple threat.
Pretty interesting if you remember the horrible Taker burying Paul Bearer in cement angle.

Before they were The Shield, they had a triple threat match in FCW.

RIP to the man that was known as Viscera or Big Daddy V. Passed away at age 43. 1995 King of the Ring.

Damn. I've always heard nice things about him.
Yeah he was a great man outside of the ring to many people. When he was Mabel, he won King of the Ring at age 24. That was 1995, a time when WWE didn't really push people that young.Quote:

I subscribed yesterday. I have heard that there are some missing WCW PPVs, but I haven't looked. There isn't much territory era content, but I assume that is coming down the road. I was disappointed that the 2014 PPVs aren't available yet.
I watched a random PPV from 2011 without audio while I listened to music and did some other things. Looked like the full show.
Overall it's working pretty good. There are a few PPV's that froze right as it started. I watched the beginning of the RAW where Tyson and Austin went at it last night.
WWE Network is now working on the Xbox 360
Looks like a lawsuit coming WWE's way. During Lesnar's tirade on the announce table, one of the monitors he threw hit someone right on the face and supposedly hit a child too.

Now they're saying that the picture of the black eye came from a fake Twitter account. Hard telling with the wild toss of the monitor and crowd reaction.

Holy shit. The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak is over. 21-1

I always thought 1M would be a wash from 200k PPV buys. I'm sure Wrestlemania still had some decent PPV numbers alongside the network. Just wait til it's opened up worldwide.

3) Having an up and comer like Bray Wyatt or Roman Reigns end the streak would have given that wrestler way too much to try to live up to for the rest of their career and probably would have done more harm than good. Lesnar is established, relishes being the heel, going to be hated for ending the streak, but is someone who can handle the heat.
4) The whole streak talk at Wrestlemania has gotten stale. That is how it's been booked for the past few years. Now if Taker wants to go at WM 31 (rumored against Sting for their final hurrahs) there is no streak talk, there is just time to build a better less stale story.
I don't disagree with most of this other than Lesnar had to be the guy to do it. IF the WWE has gotten so.... bad that they couldn't find anyone who could "handle it" (beating Taker at WM) then the WWE is truly a lost cause.Quote:

Carry on.
Ultimate Warrior passed away yesterday (day after appearing on Raw). I did think to myself that he didn't look "good" (he struggled to even shake the ropes) but didn't expect this.
Yeah that was insane considering he was just on Raw Monday night. At least he got one last curtain call.
Wrestling Observer is reporting that the WWE has reached a deal with Sting.

that would be odd as i seem to recall sting being ADAMANT throughout his career that he would not work for wwf/e it's also just another part-time guy that going to take up airtime which only retards the development of the younger full-time roster. i don't get it. its like wwe is going with the old wcw strategy of just hiring old guys that are well past their primes.Quote:
