Just read the spoilers for SD this week. Looks like an ok show, might actually watch it. Other than SD from Iraq, this will be my first SD in a little over a month. Don't want to spoil it for anyone but I'll say this, JBL is an idiot and the Taker/Heidenreich segment sounds like it's pretty good stuff! I can't wait for the Royal Rumble to see SD's main-event that GM TL made on SD!

Has anyone seen that the WWE has a contest for the Royal Rumble on their site? All you have to do is correctlly identify the 12 Raw and 12 Smackdown superstars in the latest Royal Rumble poster. The one parodying West Side Story. So maybe someone would be willing to post either a larger version of the poster, or a link to a bigger version of the poster??

JBL = the new HHH, hes holding onto the title for a year and he isnt even screwing the bosses daughter. As for his abilities i had the chance to see him live in a houseshow and his mic skills have improved, however the match wasn't. SD! are going to shoot themselves in the foot if they continue his extended title run. It seems that WWE has gone back to its wrestler vs jobber days. Who'd av' thunk it !?!

At least TNA know that cruiserweights are a key part of any wrestling show. This was also part of why WCW consistantly beat WWE when Bischoff was in power. WWE has ray and kidman but they need more.

WHERE IS DRAGON!

SmackDown! Spoiler ahead

Two new Royal Rumble matches announced on SD!..

WWE Championship
JBL(c) Vs Kurt Angle Vs Big Show

Casket Match
The Undertaker Vs Heidenreich

The Royal Rumble has always been my fav PPV of the year, but these two matches already is making the Rumble PPV a kick ass show!. Finally a Casket match. suprised it took them this long to bring this classic match back for the Taker.

also, the Rumble is in over a month and SD! is already making matches for it. Whoe!, If they continue to build towards PPVs like this. 2005 could be a bigger improvment from 2004.

My predictions for both:
1) Big Show or Kurt Angle will win the WWE title
2) Taker will kill, then bury Heidenreich forever, thus ending another pathetic career. Hopefully then Heidenreich will be sent back to OVW.

SD seems to be hyping the Rumble pretty good. Raw is busy with NYR, so won't likelly start to hype Rumble matches untill after that ppv. Both shows will hopefully have some good matches.

i like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!


It looks like 2004 going to end with a bang at Smackdown with all the titles on the line and going to start the 2005 year with a bang with NYR!!!

Looks like 2005 is going to be a great year!!!!!


Also I hope Kane beats the Hell out of Snitsky! I hate that big ass Beaver!

I dont watch much wrestling but i fecking love Kane! I used to watch it when i was younger. I loved Kane, Raven, Edge and the Hardyz.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Me and olympic might be able to go to WRESTLEMANIA 21! People at my moms work have connections to Staples and may be able to hook us up with some good seats! Fuckin awesome

Are you fuckin serious??

I SHIT YOU NOT!

Man, to say I'm jealous of you both is an understatement! I've only been to one live event, and it was a houseshow. I'd like to go to either a tv taping or a ppv, and the ppv I've always wanted to go to is Wrestlemania! You both are lucky if you get to go! JEALOUS!

Got my copy of the latest Game Informer magazine yesterday. What a kickass article they have on WWE Wrestlemania 21 for X-Box. Killer screenshots and tons of info. I want this game more than ever!

well I have no chance to go to such incredible live event show, because I live In Holland...........

I wish the best of luck for you guys to go! Wrestlemania is an experience you'll never forget! Me and some friends went to Wrestlemania 19. Make sure to take pics and share! Here's WM19 and to show how far away we were, but still loved it! Beginning pyro: Kane's pyro:

WM19 was a great show IMO. I don't think there was a bad match on the card at all.

But Damn, WM21. Even if the card isn't the greatest in the world. Its still WrestleMania! One of the most historic events in the World. and I have a chance to go. fucking sweet!

Man, with a little help from a guy at another forum, I managed to correctlly identify all 24 superstars (12 Raw, 12 SD) in the Royal Rumble poster/commercial, only to find out that it's only open to US residents.

How much does that fucking suck? I wish WWE had the brains to make contests on their site open to US and Canadian fans. This is typical WWE unfairness.

WoW! The Tag Team Title match on SD! was one of the best TV matches of the year with a hillarous ending! Eddie finally gets caught! man, that was great. definlly match of thr night right there.

and the Taker/Heidy segment fuckin owned! awesome segment to hype up the classic Casket match at the Royal Rumble.

the only thing that bothered me was the JBL/Shannon Moore segment. What The Fuck? the the WWE did the SAME EXACT ANGLE exactlly a year ago with Brock Lesnar with Moore's name in all the papers. come up with new ideas dammit!

anyways, good SmackDown!. the RR is going to be awesome this...I mean, next year.

Who are the winners? Because me and my friend are sitting here now trying to figure this out and we got all of Smackdown except for one person. And we are almost sure we have all Raw, could you name a few that were hard for you to find out?

Yeah, I'd love to know. I cant win since I'm from Portugal, but still I'm quite curious. I only know for sure of some of RAW's superstars.. Jericho, Edge, Benoit, HHH, and Ric Flair. I dont know the rest.


I know all of smackdown! but two guys.

I also know all but 2 of the Smackdown Superstars. Who are the ones that you know?

For Raw i've got...

Batista
Chris Benoit
Chris Jericho
Edge
Randy Orton
Rhyno
Ric Flair
HHH
Christian, maybe Maven and maybe Coach.

Ok, here's the list:

Raw:
1)Triple H
2)Orton
3)Coach
4)Rhyno
5)Flair
6)Benoit
7)Jericho
8)Val Venis

12)Maven

Smackdown:
Booker

Holly
Jesus
JBL

Show


Yeah, Olympic, I agree with ya that SD was good. That Tag title match, I've never laughed so hard! Eddie trying to play the referee was gold, the Taker/Heidenreich segment was awesome, I hope Taker buries Heidenreich forever. I wonder how CCC is going to carry out his "resolution" to get rid of GM TL?

Happy New Year!

Does anyone have a pic of this RR poster?I want to check it out.I've only been to one WWF show and that was a House Show(The WWF was using a In Your House apron,that explains what happened to IYH).I always was curious about the Stone Cold vs Triple H match:

It was the same Sunday Stone Cold had to fight Mankind at Unforgiven.Was 1998 Unforgiven taped?

I hope they'll start having Wrestlemania outside again.I remember a few years ago I was watching a PPV throw back of an old WM.Undertaker was coming to the ring on a small ring with wheels on it.And he had a Crow on his shoulder.


Speaking of old school wrestling,What are your favorite Wrestling memories:

Undertaker vs Kane:Inferno Match
Stone Cold vs Shawn Michaels with Mike Tyson at ringside at WM
Undertaker vs Psycho Sid at WM(this was the 1st time I ever seen Taker fight)
Hawk falling off The Heat titantron drunk(I know it's sad but it's something I'll never forget)
Goldberg WCW winning streak
NWO
NWO Wolfpac
Dennis Rodman wrestling(Dennis is the man!)
LOD and Ahmad Johnson vs The Nation Of Domination Street Fight
Macho Man vs Hulk Hogan cage match(WCW)
Raven's Flock(Billy Kidman owned then)
Public Enemy starts a Hardcore match at Bash At The Beach
Eric Bishoff calling out Vince Mcmahn in WCW but Vince didn't show up.
DX mocking the Corprate.
WWF Warzone being released
WWF Attitude was my summer game.My dad had to pay a big Late Fee.We kept the game for a long time.
Kane appears
My 1st WWF magazine(It had pics of the LOD Street Fight)
Some friends at school had some copies of SD.They got them from a House Show.
Stone Cold vs Vince Mcmahn(Stop...It's Steroid Time)

I remember all of those. I really wish I could have seen the inferno match too.

-Undertaker V Mankind, 98 KOTR hell in a cell match - amazing (Blade says he was there, I think? I envy him)
-Goldberg getting stuck by Hall with that cattleprod at Starrcade, ending the streak.
-Hogan V Sting, Starrcade (and all the hype that went with it)
-Stings random appearances with his crow gimmick, when he would just come from nowhere and clean house.
-DDP getting diamond cuttered onto the belt while being forced to wear a Sting mask, by hogan.
-"NWO" being sprayed on the WCW belt.
-Sting being thrown off the titantron through the stage while on fire, at the hands of Vampiro.
-Foley + Triple H + pedigree + tacks (If anybody knows where I can get a clip of that, I'd be thankful)
-Nash dropping into the battle royal as the last man, dressed as Sting.
-Maybe this one isn't a favourite, but the "finger poke title change" deserves a mention.
-WCW's three ring cage match (not the three stacked cages ala Ready 2 Rumble) that featured teams representing 'WCW', Ravens flock, NWO, and the Wolfpac.
-Nash's two jackknife's on hall, in a match following Hall's drinking problem "angle". I still remember Nash saying "how about I make that a double?", and Hall writhing around in the ring. Best sell of a powerbomb i've ever seen.
-Jericho V Malenko, and the story that went with it - including Malenko's appearance as 'Ciclope', when him and Jericho were the last two men in the ring.
-The Rock singing "smackdown hotel", and being interrupted by a mandible claw.
-Public Enemy (R.I.P Rocko Rock... or is it Grunge... bah I always got them confused)
-Raven's hardcore matches.
-Last but not least, Jericho's real high angle Boston crab's. The type he used to do on guys like Raven, where the victims face and shoulders were the only thing touching the mat.

I miss WCW's glory days.

Happy New Year to you to bud!

I remember all of these moments well! Ah, memories!! That Undertaker Wrestlemania moment was from Wrestlemania 9 when he face Giant Gonzales! Crappy match, but great Taker entrance!

Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order:

1) NWO Black and White and NWO Wolf Pac
2) Raw episode from 1999, the night after Owen Hart's death. The whole show was done in memory of him, and despite what Bret might think, it was a meaningful show.
3) Final Nitro, and Raw/Nitro simulcast, never thought I'd see such a thing
4) The NWO takes over Nitro for one night
5) Goldberg's 170 - 0 (or 175-0) winning streak before Nash/Hall ended it
6) Stone Cold's beer bash from last year in Halifax Nova Scotia, I never wished to be at a live Raw more so then that show! Goldberg and him drinking brewskies together, good stuff.
7) Stone Cold on his ATV chasing Teddy Long down the ramp and around the ring, I almost pissed myself laughing!
8) WWE Christmas in Iraq 2003 and 2004. I liked 2003's better
9) Stone Cold blasting the Corporation with beer from a beer truck
10) Kurt Angle's milk truck segment. JR says "Milkomania runs wild on Raw!"
11) The NWO returns to WWE at NWO!
And I could go on, but the list is far too long already!!

From WWE.com: Official Raw Preview:

HBK as Referee adds more unpredictabilty to Elimination Chamber
Jan. 3, 2005

What will be the fallout from the last Raw of 2004? After such a blockbuster show with so many twist and turns affecting New Year’s Revolution, emotions will most definitely be running at an all-time high.

As Raw went off the air last week, it was announced that Shawn Michaels will be the special guest referee for the Elimination Chamber Match. Triple H and several other Superstars didn’t look too pleased with the announcement. It’s no secret that The Game and HBK have bad blood that will probably never go away. And Edge cost Michaels the World Heavyweight Championship at Taboo Tuesday. That’s something that the Showstopper surely hasn’t forgotten. Will this cause Edge to speculate further that everyone is out to get him in his quest for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Batista must be happy that he will be entering the Elimination Chamber last, but it was clear that didn’t sit well with Triple H last week. How will the two continue to co-exist, and will Ric Flair be able to keep them together as a cohesive unit heading into New Year’s Revolution?

Also, after verbally and physically assaulting Good Ol’ J.R. and The King last week on Raw, Muhammed Hassan and Khosrow Daivari will square off against the Raw announcing duo in a battle of the minds as Eric Bischoff signed a debate to take place on the first Raw of 2005.

Last week, Gene Snitsky found out he’d be facing Kane at New Year’s Revolution. Will that announcement send Snitsky on the war path this week?

Kane’s wife Lita also found out she’d be putting her Women’s Championship on the line at New Year’s Revolution in a rematch against rival Trish Stratus. Will the two Divas’ paths cross this week on Raw?

Be sure to tune in to Monday Night Raw (9/8 CT; Spike TV) for all the answers

Keep in mind that I've only been watching wrestling for 4 years so my list is limited. and my list is just randomly, what ever pops into my head.....

Seeing SD! Live- This is what proabally made me an offical wrestling fan. I would watch occassionly before but not as much as I do now, Going to see SD! was one of the best experinces ever.

Undertaker's return at WMXX- I started watching when Taker was the biker, so I was excited that Taker was going back to the darkside again. I admit that his new look wasn't exactlly what I expected but now I think its cool. Alot of cool Undertaker moments hs happened sence his return. even today. I still love watching his return at WMXX. such a great moment. The Undertaker is no doubt, the symbol of World Wrestling Entertainment.

Goldberg winning the World title- It doesn't mean much now, but back than, it was a releif that someone actually ended Triple H's long year reign. sucks that 2 mont later, he wins it back. Don't get me wrong. I never cared for Goldberg, I only care when someone pins H for the Title.

The ending to WMXX- seeing Eddie and Benoit celebrating their World Championship victories at the end of the biggest wrestling event of the year was truly a great sight.

Batista break dancing in the Summerslam commerical- I just couldn't stop laughing at that.

Stone Cold leaving the WWE last year- At this point, I was just sick of him. So I was glad when I read that Austin has left the WWE. He was just plain useless in 2004.

Hmm, thats it for now.

LOL "Giant Gonzalez"Bret Hart didn't like that Raw show?1999 was around the time my grandmother wanted me to stop watching wrestling because I was breaking the "Don't try this at home"rule.My couch in my room was a wrestling ring sorta.I broke that couch.I used to set up my WWF Vol 3 soundtrack and act like I was Stone Cold coming down the ramp or in this case opening the door then walking to the couch.I had the fake WWF belts they used to sell too.One of my friends at school had one but it was a Hardcore belt he made.Those were good times.

As for the Kane/Lita angle.I think Kane and Lita should be a Gothic couple.ONLY if the WWE makes up an plot where Kane gets burned again in his face.So then that way he'll have to put his mask back on and buy that "speaker"(If you remember all the way back in KOR 97 or 98,Kane talked for the 1st time using some device that smokers with with holes in their throats use to speak.He sounded like a Robot).I would love to see that.It seems like they always try to soften Kane's image(DX Torrie).I miss the old Kane.

Undertaker should definetly go back to his real DEADMAN roots.Not this Half way biker half way Deadman gimmick.Taker dosen't look scary at all any more.Bring BACK PAUL BEARER(He was backstage at last weeks Raw)

Im still waiting to see the next big star out of the WWE though.Their trying to make John Cena a big star but I just don't see it happening with him.
