Countdown to Wrestlemania XXV

[quote=“Flano”]Hate to be pedantic but the STS is a different move to the STF. i.e. STS is a sleeper and STF is a facelock.

I couldn’t be arsed watching the WWE Classic Collection considering I have everything I want or at least have access to downloads.[/quote]

Fair Enough Flano. Dont be airing the dirty laundry in public. :smiley:

Its a good collection though and it was something to watch when I should have been working. The Warrior did his running shoulder tackle 3 times on Savage and Savage just went to the outside every time. It was a bit annoying I have to say. And to be pinned with a boot on the chest was even more a slap in the face for him.

Just when you mentioned Savage and going to the outside I though of Savage v Crush WMX. Horrible, horrible stuff and the only Falls Count Anywhere match I have ever seen contested under the rules used in this one.

I was a fan of this match actually Flano. They had a great feud leading up to Mania which built from as far back as before the Survivor Series of the previous year. Crush cost Savage his commentaor role on Raw is how it began I think. The way he tied him up was genius though even though the pulley couldnt support Crush’s weight.

Reaction to Raw Last Night.

I thought it was on at 2am but alas it started at 1am so I missed the first hour.

Cena got into the match with Edge and Big Show at Mania because Raw was in his hometown and he knew everyone including the person who deals with the Cctv. Cue Big Show and Vickie getting it on. That is just wrong.

Flair distracted Jericho enough for Kofi Kingston to get the win and book his place in Money in the Bank. Jericho challenged Flair to a match next week. I cant see it happening. The way Lawler is talking on commentary makes me think he will face Jericho at Mania. I hope not. He should face Jericho on the Raw before Mania if he has to have a match with him.

[Spoiler] Hunter showing up at Ortons House was a lot like when Austin showed up at Brian Pillmans. Hunter definately is modelling himself on Jack Nicholson. Ortons wife should be in the lovely ladies thread thats for sure.

This thread deserves to be a sticky I reckon.

Rumours Jericho is with Kelly Kelly. He has a family so its pretty low of the great man but they are just rumours. Evidance below.

F.A.O Flano

Flano as United won there tonight we will need to ring around Vegas to find a local sports bar that will be showing the Quarter Final first leg. Im not sure what date it will be but I would like to be prepared.

What? It’s Las Vegas for christs sake.

Jericho is some boyo if he’s up to anything. Very little to support he’s actually done the dirt though.

His wife is alright as well the dawg.

Eh Shan, every hotel on the strip will be showing it. Would recommend Caesars or the Mirage

Ive never been there do dont know. Cheers Mac. :smiley:

Yeah Jerichos wife is better than Kelly alright.

I was afraid I would have to cancel Mania for the match Flano. My fears have been put to rest.

They all have these big “super bookies”. Think the Sporting Emporium off Grafton Street multiplied by 50. All show American racing and american sports but will show European Soccer if there’s any going. When I was there in October they were showing the Spurs Arsenal match that finished 4-4. Granted, you’ll be watching it at around midday Vegas time so it might clash with some rubbish racing but they’ll show it!

I want to say Jbl will be involved somehow but I cant see where he would fit in.

JBL is going to create history at Mania apparently. He’ll be retiring again soon enough.

Yeah just read that he wants to retire at Mania as Ic Champion and could face Kozlov after they have a disagrement after Next Mondays tag match against Hbk and Taker.

JBL vs Kozlov - that’s certainly the match to go get the beers in. Like Khali and Kane a couple of years back.

I watched ECW last night and there was some hilarious stuff being spouted by John Morrison during his stint as a guest commentator in the Miz v Primo match. He even quoted a Doors song “some are born to sweet delight, some are born to the endless night” :smiley:

Legend.

Rip Andrew “Test” Martin

From WrestlingObserver.com

We don’t have details, but there are multiple reports that Andrew “Test” Martin passed away earlier today at his condo in Tampa.

Martin was four days shy of his 34th birthday.

Police in Tampa confirmed a death in the condo but wouldn’t identify the name, but numerous sources within wrestling have confirmed it was him. No details as to the death were reported.

Martin last wrestled with WWE in February, 2007, when he was released after failing a drug test. He worked a few weeks with TNA but the company decided against hiring him. He had of late worked some tours for Nu Wrestling Evolution, and most recently had worked in Japan on shows promoted by Leon “Vader” White

Rest in Peace Test. Had good matches with Shane McMahon back in 99 and his tag tean with Albert that had Trish as a manager was ok.

RIP Test.

Fuck sake. 33! That industry is such a mess.

Highlight of the mans life…
Doing Stacy Keibler?

Shinzon just said that to me there. How reliable is this I wonder. Brutal wrestler, had the charisma of a stone.

If Dave Meltzer from WrestlingObserver.com said it I’d take it as gospel.
