"YES!" is definitely the new "YOU SUCK!", by the way. Crowd ate it up and I imagine most crowds will.

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)



Oh and the crowd did start chanting "Kobe Bryant" during the PTP match, though I'm sure that the WWE won't allow that to come through on the broadcast at all.

I partially walked away from this show stoked just because of the fact that Indianapolis proved themselves to be capable of being a really good crowd. I was very down on this city as a wrestling city before, but now I'm hopeful that they do their part come Survivor Series.

Oh yeah, a few more things coming to mind:
*They showed a video package recapping CM Punk's recent actions, and this crowd who was mostly ABC when it came to cheering faces and booing heels (except for cheering for Cody during Superstars) was not booing Punk. I heard a few more cheers than boos, in fact. They're going to have to make the heel turn even more obvious for people in order to drive it home.

*Cody had a segment with Booker T backstage at some point in the show. I'm now forgetting when. It was just a hostile little confrontation where Cody passive-aggressively congratulated him while taking shots at him, and then Booker put him in a match next week against Sin Cara.

*They are teasing an ADR/Ricardo split, I think. It was based on stuff outside the ring though, so I have to see how they treat it on TV.

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)

Nice trip report. As aids as wrestling may come across on TV from time to time, I always have a blast when I see it live. Watching it live really drives home the point of just how much damage Cole and Lawler do to the product.

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)

I think that's like 90% Lawler though, since Cole massively scaled down the bull**** of putting himself over throughout matches. He used to be nearly an equal offender, but now I think he's fine (not good, but fine). And it's no coincidence that his SD work is always far better than his Raw work.

They were still using Striker as an interviewer tonight, but I really do think they should give him a crack at filling Booker's spot at a three-man SD announce table. Obviously have to see how it is with just Matthews and Cole though.

SS is in Indy? Haven't been to a show since I went to a house show at Market Square Arena when I was like 9. Might be fun.

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)

It is. The presale code right now is "series," though I think tomorrow it will change to "indyppv."

I'm going to have to wait to see how my finances are in November before I buy a ticket, but I hope to be there.

The guys in front of me hilariously mark out huge for the Primetime Players. AW comes to the top of the ramp and does their introduction. He must have a regular routine for this, because these guys in front of me sing along with it word for word. As a final flourish, when AW says their name, these two guys each throw a fistful of play money in the air and yell "MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!" I crack up. They look back at me, hearing me laughing, and I give them the thumbs up. As opposed to AIDS tree lady behind me, these guys enhanced my enjoyment of this match that I probably wouldn't have otherwise cared about.
this is unbelievably good

great tr

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)

It was Conseco until last year. I think it's just the name that changed.

Re: Wrestling- NVG (SPOILERS inside view at your own risk)

Wow, I hope this ends well for Punk as a character and as a main event player at the end of WM 29.

Quote:
- WWE Creative is considering having CM Punk drop the WWE Title to John Cena at WWE SummerSlam. This would set up a rematch between Cena and The Rock at the Royal Rumble, where the Rock will compete for the WWE Title. The Rock would then beat Cena for the belt in this scenario and face CM Punk for the belt at WrestleMania 29.
