Heh, that should be awesome to go to Mania. They sell out in a couple of hours, so it's next to impossible to get tickets for any of them. The Rosemont Horizon has a tiny capacity anyway. If they wanted to do a Mania in Chicago, they should have used the United Center. Plus, this venue is haunted by the ghosts of bad Manias past (2 and 13), so hopefully this one won't be jinxed.

More like minutes. You should see what they're selling for on Ebay ;D. I've heard the arena was really small (My bro knows someone who moved to Illinois). You've been there?
So, did Jannetty fight today?

He came out of the crowd to save HBK from a beating by the Spirit Squad. Vince offered him a contract next week, but he has to join the Kiss My Ass Club.

That's cool! Can't wait to watch it! ;D I was a Rockers fan as a kid. And that one time he wrestled last year with HBK, he did great (Usually when they age, their skills go backwards). K.M.A club, hee hee! ;D Vince is awesome!

It was really the match with Angle that impressed everyone. He had a great spot where he rolled out of the Angle Slam and threw him across the ring. And he did a sweet hurricanrana where he went directly back over his head. Most guys take it to the side.
Rockers completely deserved a tag title run. Unfortunately, with LOD, Demolition, and the Hart Foundation, they just got lost in the shuffle.

The others where great tag teams though (Demolition was my favorite. It was pitiful for me when Smash turned into the Repo Man ). I'd like to see one of their matches again ;D. I haven't seen any old matches lately . The one tape I had from the 80s- Saturday Night Main Event- The show where they used the "My Obsession" music at the beginning ;D got ruined . I should rent a DVD ;D. I looked it up...Jannetty is 46. HBK is 40.

Try searching youtube.com. Unfortunately, a lot of wrestling footage is being taken down, possibly due to copyright infringement, but it won't hurt to look. Their best match IMO was against the Orient Express at the 1991 Rumble.
Smash was hilarious as Repo Man, but unfortunately it was one of those gimmicks where no matter how well you play it, it's still completely silly.
lol, I've noticed something completely inconsistent with Demolition: after debuting with Johnny Valiant, Ax and Smash are managed by Mr. Fuji. Fuji turns on them and they become faces. Smash and Crush team up with Fuji once again, completely forgetting Smash's past problems with him. They job to Tenryu and Kitao at Wrestlemania 7, then Crush turns face (Kona Hawaiian Crush), then turns heel again, and works for...Mr. Fuji (who also employs former enemy Tenryu as a hired gun at the 94 Rumble).
Did you see No Way Out? Matt Hardy and Tatanka(!) beat MNM in a non-title match, and Benoit won teh US Title from Booker T.

Thanks, I do my best. Last I saw, there was a Bret/Shawn match from 1990, when they were still in their tag teams. Smackdown was decent tonight. Rey got added to the main event to make it a Triple Threat (Orton won the #1 contendership from him at No Way Out). Tatanka was back again tonight, there was a good 6-man tag main event, and the Helms/Psicosis Cruiserweight match was very entertaining.

:-/Did you see the "HHH Kills Someone" video on the site. Ouch!
Ok, that one wasn't even close to "Insane Fall From the Ceiling onto Tables" (New Jack match).
I couldn't find the 90 match. The closest I found was 92. Michaels was out of the Rockers then. Smackdown sounds good. I still have to watch RAW from last Monday (I've been away the last few days -I wasn't on the boards either).

Ha! That's great! ;D I heard about their names awhile ago from someone, but didn't know what it exactly was, so this is the first time I've seen it. I wasn't able to get the Hall of Fame tickets . It sold out so quick. I FINALLY watched RAW on Saturday (dances for joy ). Anyways, I thought the women's match was pretty good (Although Victoria got eliminated too quick). (Looks at Hacksaw, remembers what he used to look like) Ummmmm, ok he hasn't changed much. Of course they were gonna have Edge win, right? The Spirit Squad were hillarious especially their cheer before the match. I liked the clothesline off the trampoline. Marty Jannety. Whoo hoo! Of course it's great to see wrestlers you grew up watching, although it makes me wonder how many fans in the crowd were like "Who is that?" (Starts to feel old. Reminds myself that I'm not old ;D). Shelton . HHH ;D.

I for one like Shelton as IC champ. He's probably the best up and coming talent there is. Flair didn't need the IC title, as he's won every belt there is, and has nothing left to prove. He rarely defended it, and it wasn't serving its purpose as a stepping stone for the younger talent (and Shelton probably will reach that next level soon).
That was a really good Triple Threat match. I was pulling for RVD, though having HHH win wasn't too shabby either. He should be able to carry Cena to a nice main event matchup.

It's silly, but it serves its purpose. It might win the Gooker Award this year (wrestlecrap's award for worst angle of the year).
