I'm sure many of you disagree. But being a New Orleans native, I'm really damn excited for this.

With Rock saying he is coming back for WM 30, I have a feeling we're going to get the most unwanted trilogy since the Star Wars prequels.
ReplyDeleteWrestlemania 30: It knows where you got that title.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's kind of telling about the nature of the business that the big event sure hasn't travelled too far from the bible belt in recent years. I guess they've nearly made a regular thing out of Summerslam on the west coast, though.
I lived in New Orleans for 3 years, even was a Katrina refugee. I still think this should be at MSG.
ReplyDeleteMEET THE FUJ on Bourbon street!!!
ReplyDeleteGet drunk, see some tits,talk some rasslin' and party the night before WM!
Of course you do. There's no chance of people drowning in MSG.
ReplyDeleteLame. Its strange not to have a decade 'mania at MSG. I guess they see MSG as too small.
ReplyDelete50 bucks for an autograph, 100 for a picture.
ReplyDeleteor pay for my drinks... No foo-foo bullshit.
ReplyDeleteOnly fuzzy navels, kamikazes, and mikes hard lemonade.
Would you rather have 18,000 dollars or 80,000 dollars?
ReplyDeleteWhat, no Jager shots too? Did you just discover alcohol?
ReplyDeleteImma hardcore drinker son!
ReplyDeleteI only drink the real shit. Fuzzy Navels, Kamikazes!!!
Mikes HARD lemonade. Ive tried hard cranberry but I completely blacked out after like a half a sip.
Would you rather sell the tickets for significantly more money, thanks to the demographics?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it looks like they might be trying to beat WMIII's record.
answer a question with a question, phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteAlright. I'm not gonna miss that bit of sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteWe already had this debate, it's settled. They'd be fucking insane to hold Mania at a venue as small as MSG. They'd be pissing away MILLIONS for the sake of 'tradition'.
ReplyDeleteAnd? You assuredly can sell tickets for more money in New York than in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteNobody is paying floor seat price for nose bleeds in NYC.
ReplyDeleteLets just agree to call that guy a mark and press on shall we?
ReplyDeleteWere the sequels really unwanted? I was 13 for Phantom Menace, seemed like everyone was super jacked for that. And as shitty as they were, I'm still kinda-sorta excited for the next batch of sequels.
ReplyDeleteJager shots? What are you, a rookie?
ReplyDelete"We" did? They held a WM in Rosemont in 2006. Staples in 2005.
ReplyDeleteYep, and the Rosemont grossed 2.5mil from ticket sales. Last year in Miami did 9, and they're projecting 12 for this year. The last time MSG had a Mania they did about 2mil.
ReplyDeleteThat's not even considering the huge difference in merch sales, as well as the fact that any host city would probably insist on a stadium since it'll bring in more $$$ to the local economy.
Cute - if MSG is too small for PG-era WWE, why not do a NY venue in 2014 instead of this year? Would keep "tradition", while also giving a larger venue.
ReplyDeleteThere're already been a discussion, and a resolution/answer in the last WM30 thread.
ReplyDeleteIt all comes down to the fact that WWE has shareholders, and even once a decade, you can't sacrifice the potential for at least $6M extra in revenue for the sake of tradition because of it.
Also, think about it as a fan: You want to see WM30 in MSG? Pay Rolling Stones ticket prices to squeeze in amongst 17,999 other big wigs. That's a bullshit proposition.
Because there are so many logistics that brass is aware of that you aren't privy to.
ReplyDeleteHindsight makes them unwanted, much like when we look back on these Cena/Rock matches. And I'm psyched for the new movies also.
ReplyDeleteThis guy gets it.
ReplyDeleteThat is the point I was making.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena's kind of like Hayden Christensen, except he's stuck around.
ReplyDeleteYou have a pic with Foley!?
ReplyDelete...Ah, who the fuck doesn't! #Jealousy
Because they want more money!
ReplyDeleteLet me pose this to you. Would you rather visit a city every year and fuck a perfect 10 every year, or every ten years go back and fuck the same tired 5?
I missed it because I'm just getting started on my 30 cans of cheap Aussie beer.
ReplyDelete#Hardcore #CheapInAustraliaIsPrettyExpensive
The old tired whore. I ain't payin' child support.
ReplyDeleteEase up on the hashtags.
ReplyDeleteMe and Mick met up for indoor skydiving one day while he was in Orlando during his stint with TNA.
ReplyDeleteIt was nothing.
He said, lemme get a pic with you Fuj, I said alright brah, just text it back to me.
He forgot to. I just went to his facebook and copied/saved it.
Too many chairshots, ya know?
#Agreed.
ReplyDeleteThats cuz you skeet in whores.
ReplyDeleteUnless hoes get pregnant by swallowing, aint no lil Fujs inheriting the earth.
Amnesia's a bitch. No wonder he took the picture with you.
ReplyDeleteOr unless babies come from man ass.
ReplyDeleteThe problem wasn't Hayden, apparently he's been fine in other films. The problem was (and continues to be) that Lucas is completely untalented as a director.
ReplyDeleteWhere's your picture with Mick Foley?
ReplyDeleteoh wait...
I mean, if you fuck dudes, thats your biz. its 2013, Im not one to judge.
ReplyDelete...yikes..
Yeah, that weak-chinned dolt sucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a big deal, I don't need to show off like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's what desperate times call for.
ReplyDeleteKamikaze's are Flair's thing, right?
ReplyDeleteEwan McGregor made that shitty dialogue work. Hayden was a terrible casting decision.
ReplyDeleteAw... Anyone who says they are a big deal, doesn't need to say it... just saying... but Aw...
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteApparently. Scott Hall gave him shit in the Outsiders shoot about drinking kamikazes compared to them drinking Jack.
ReplyDeleteIf it's on somebody else, it's Flair's thing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I wasn't going to divulge my true identity... All right, all right, let me just say this: "Make my day."
ReplyDeleteYeeeep.
I thought Episode 1 was pretty average. I hated Episode 2 though. And I enjoyed Episode 3. The actors did the best they could.
ReplyDeleteUm, Sandy?
ReplyDeleteBecause then they can't beat the NFL to the venue, which means something to Vince and nobody else.
ReplyDeleteThis whole thread has just been an awesome way to wake up. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIf we get Cena/Rock III, who wins?
ReplyDeleteHopefully the power stays on for the whole show.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Whoa.
ReplyDeleteTOO SOON.
You're Robocop?
ReplyDeleteThe Shield dress like Big Boss Man 1998-2000. They get extra cool points for that.
ReplyDeletePretty good analogy, although that tired 5 treats you a bit better and makes you a snack afterwards.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? that's your answer? in order to keep tradition, ticket prices should go up for smaller venues? People have absolutely no leg to stand on in this msg for wm 30 argument do they?
ReplyDeleteYeah, what is everybody, Kamala?
ReplyDelete...Hoo boy.
Scrappy Doo Vs. Poochy III
ReplyDeletePapa Shango's comin' home!
ReplyDeleteWhich is an awful idea, because the money's in Taker vs Cena.
ReplyDeleteAnd we have a new King of the Super-Smarks!
ReplyDeleteYou make more money from a stadium than you do an arena.
ReplyDeleteHah...I laughed.
ReplyDeleteCena :/
ReplyDeleteOkay, that was a pretty friggin cool response.
ReplyDeleteIt is too small
ReplyDeleteStill wouldn't make as much
ReplyDeleteTradition sucks
ReplyDeletesee some tits
ReplyDeleteAre we talkin' yours or someone else's?
Kind of like Stephanie McMahon as an untalented writer.
ReplyDeleteRevenge of the Sith is top notch. The Vader/Ben fight is *****.
ReplyDeleteBEN'S HARDCORE!!! BEN'S HARDCORE!!!
Yeah, but Irvin Kershner directed the best film of that series, so I'd say that's not Lucas' strongest suit, either.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the crowd will be better than they were last night, because they were dead for half the night.
ReplyDeleteUh...the director's job is to coach the actors. Lucas is not an actor and has no talent for it. Did he get some charismatic talent? Yeah he did, but he is not the guy to get the performance of a lifetime out of you.
ReplyDeleteLook at Natalie Portman (who is pretty damn good in most movies), she was horrendously bad in the Star Wars movies, and it wasn't just because she was young.
Lucas, fine producer, terrible writer, bad director.
Bad casting decision? Probably. Hayden didn't have the talent to play both Anakin and Vader, y'know? But just because somebody is miscast doesn't mean they're a bad actor.
ReplyDeleteHe was just as terrible in Jumper, so I feel safe calling him a bad actor. I just wish we had a time machine so we can send back Tom Hiddleston to play that role.
ReplyDeleteEngland has shitty weather all the time. John Cena likes palm trees and warm weather.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he just sucks then. But hey, Ben Affleck was in how many terrible movies before finding something that worked for him?
ReplyDeleteHe was great right away. The middle part of his career fucked him up.
ReplyDeleteWell, it technically won't, when Undertaker makes his entrance
ReplyDeleteyou virtually said the same thing that I did. I said he has no real patience for the art of acting and isn't the best, but not the worst, either. Look to Brett Ratner or someone else for that distinction.
ReplyDeleteYou said he's middle-of-the-road, I said he's terrible.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is a shitty director. He can't coach actors, he can't write dialogue, his grasp of time is horrendous, hell, and as for his ideas? A New Hope was a remake of a Miyazaki film and the entire feel of the series was jacked from 1930s serials (Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers etc.), and when he does have free reign and creates original shit we get fucking Ewoks.
