sharkyvilla Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I was duped into buying WM. Can I have my money back? It was a rather large pile of dogshit for the most part. It was the second year I ordered it, having enjoyed last year's. Doubt I'll be doing it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 On a separate not if you have sky sports why on gods green earth do you have to folk out another £15 for it? No-one should order, period so you don’t have to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I remember the good old days when every pay per view was shown on Sky Sports 1 in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Pay per view doesnt bother me in principle. Its the fact that most of the time you cant get pay per view unless you are already paying £40+ a month for subscription TV and then when you are sitting watching it the cheeky **** have sold 15 minutes of every hour as adverts. I cant wait for the internet to kill that business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yeah the shows were never on Monday night here, We had the Firday night wars here. WWF was on sky sports and WCW on TNT (it was owned by Ted Turner) so we still had to choose between them. The products of both companies were elevated during this time and after the Hogan heel turn in 96, WCW won for 83 straight weeks before Austin and the Attitude era finally won it back for WWF and this becoming wrestlings mosts successful time. Both companies busted their ass to beat the other and there was also the excitement and rumour mills of wrestlers potentially jumping ship. I will never forget Jericho's WWF debut. I am very glad I was 14 in 1999. I've always been a wrestling fan since despite it being nowhere near as good since about 2001. No,Austin didnt win it back Vince bought wcw and collapsed the company lol. Back then WCW was miles better than wwf the whole nwo/wolfpack storyline prolly wont ever get matched.

No, the WWF turned things around and won the 'Rating wars' for a couple of years until WCW completely turned to crap, then Vince bought them out.

Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2011 Vince bought them because their ratings were dropping. If WCW was the best one, then why would they let WWF buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Still makes me chuckle that they actually went and made David Arquette WCW champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the second year I ordered it, having enjoyed last year's. Doubt I'll be doing it againAye. I only ordered the PPV because of The Rock returning, but it was completely rubbish from start to finish, except possibly the Undertaker match. What has happened to the fast paced matches at Mania? And why don't they bleed anymore? Vince is a money whore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ordered the PPV because of The Rock returning, but it was completely rubbish from start to finish, except possibly the Undertaker match. What has happened to the fast paced matches at Mania? And why don't they bleed anymore? Vince is a money whore. I ordered WM just for The Rock and Stone Cold. I'm disappointed Stone Cold didn't open up as many 'cans of whoop ass' as everybody thought he would and The Rock was a bit disappointing as well. Undertaker Triple H was the highlight of the night as I thought it would be, although Triple H carried the whole match, it was basically the Undertaker getting the shit kicked out of him then fluking his way to a win at the end. Although saying that, I think he was genuinely injured, he didn't seem to be acting at the end when he couldn't stand up and got carried out the ring and Triple H seemed genuinely concerned for him as well.

TheDon Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 And why don't they bleed anymore? This is the new PG rated wrestling. No blood, extreme violence, or nudity. So there's no more bra and panty matches either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was part of the act, none of them did the X symbol. The whole PPV was a joke though, why was the 4v4 tag match only 3 minutes long, it was a great opportunity for a 15 minute fast paced elimination tag match. Why was another match canceled(drawing a blank on who it was) they were meant to have the usual 9 matches so there was no reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 i actually liked Wrestlemania 20 as though Brock and Goldberg was dreadful had some other good matches like Benoit/HHH/HBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Benoit, HHH, HBK was one of the best matches ever. Shame it's pretty much been erased from WWE history as Benoit won it. I loved WMXX, think my favourite would be WMX8 though.. Hogan vs The Rock was just epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Such a shame about Edge having to retire! It's stuff like this that is a big **** you to everyone that slates wrestling for being fake etc. It may all be scripted but the injuries are NOT! For those that don't know, he broke his neck about 8 years ago and he had to have parts of his spine fused together. By his own admission he's basically been wrestling on borrowed time since and it has finally caught up with him. He's got to the point where he's been losing the feeling in both arms and after very extensive tests it was either retire or face being wheelchair bound! He's had a great career though and he's going out as champion after retaining the title at Wrestlemania, great way to bow out! He'll definitely be a big miss for the company. I've got some great memories of watching him wrestle over the years! He was one of the only reasons that I watched Smackdown. I think they'll draft one of Raw's big players over to try and make up for the loss of Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What a shame. Yeah, it's easy to say it's fake, but these guys put their health on the line everytime they wrestle. Part of one of the best tag teams ever. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
