Wrestlemania 30 officially coming to New Orleans.

http://www.nola.com/tv/index.ssf/2013/02/wrestlemania_30_coming_to_new.html

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

Comments

  1. 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.

  2. Wrestlemania 30: It knows where you got that title.

    I 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.

  3. I lived in New Orleans for 3 years, even was a Katrina refugee. I still think this should be at MSG.

  4. MEET THE FUJ on Bourbon street!!!


    Get drunk, see some tits,talk some rasslin' and party the night before WM!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Of course you do. There's no chance of people drowning in MSG.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Lame. Its strange not to have a decade 'mania at MSG. I guess they see MSG as too small.

    ReplyDelete
  7. 50 bucks for an autograph, 100 for a picture.

    ReplyDelete
  8. or pay for my drinks... No foo-foo bullshit.


    Only fuzzy navels, kamikazes, and mikes hard lemonade.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Would you rather have 18,000 dollars or 80,000 dollars?

    ReplyDelete
  10. What, no Jager shots too? Did you just discover alcohol?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Imma hardcore drinker son!


    I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Would you rather sell the tickets for significantly more money, thanks to the demographics?


    Anyway, it looks like they might be trying to beat WMIII's record.

    ReplyDelete
  13. answer a question with a question, phenomenal.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Alright. I'm not gonna miss that bit of sarcasm.

    ReplyDelete
  15. We 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'.

    ReplyDelete
  16. And? You assuredly can sell tickets for more money in New York than in New Orleans.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Nobody is paying floor seat price for nose bleeds in NYC.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lets just agree to call that guy a mark and press on shall we?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Were 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Jager shots? What are you, a rookie?

    ReplyDelete
  21. "We" did? They held a WM in Rosemont in 2006. Staples in 2005.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yep, 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.
    That'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.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  24. There're already been a discussion, and a resolution/answer in the last WM30 thread.

    It 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.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Because there are so many logistics that brass is aware of that you aren't privy to.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hindsight makes them unwanted, much like when we look back on these Cena/Rock matches. And I'm psyched for the new movies also.

    ReplyDelete
  27. That is the point I was making.

    ReplyDelete
  28. John Cena's kind of like Hayden Christensen, except he's stuck around.

    ReplyDelete
  29. You have a pic with Foley!?

    ...Ah, who the fuck doesn't! #Jealousy

    ReplyDelete
  30. Because they want more money!


    Let 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?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I missed it because I'm just getting started on my 30 cans of cheap Aussie beer.

  32. The old tired whore. I ain't payin' child support.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ease up on the hashtags.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Me and Mick met up for indoor skydiving one day while he was in Orlando during his stint with TNA.


    It 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?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thats cuz you skeet in whores.


    Unless hoes get pregnant by swallowing, aint no lil Fujs inheriting the earth.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Amnesia's a bitch. No wonder he took the picture with you.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Or unless babies come from man ass.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The 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.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Where's your picture with Mick Foley?


    oh wait...

    ReplyDelete
  40. I mean, if you fuck dudes, thats your biz. its 2013, Im not one to judge.


    ...yikes..

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yeah, that weak-chinned dolt sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm kind of a big deal, I don't need to show off like that.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It's what desperate times call for.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Kamikaze's are Flair's thing, right?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ewan McGregor made that shitty dialogue work. Hayden was a terrible casting decision.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Aw... Anyone who says they are a big deal, doesn't need to say it... just saying... but Aw...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Apparently. Scott Hall gave him shit in the Outsiders shoot about drinking kamikazes compared to them drinking Jack.

    ReplyDelete
  48. If it's on somebody else, it's Flair's thing.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well, I wasn't going to divulge my true identity... All right, all right, let me just say this: "Make my day."

    Yeeeep.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I thought Episode 1 was pretty average. I hated Episode 2 though. And I enjoyed Episode 3. The actors did the best they could.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Because then they can't beat the NFL to the venue, which means something to Vince and nobody else.

    ReplyDelete
  52. This whole thread has just been an awesome way to wake up. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  53. If we get Cena/Rock III, who wins?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hopefully the power stays on for the whole show.

    ReplyDelete
  55. The Shield dress like Big Boss Man 1998-2000. They get extra cool points for that.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Pretty good analogy, although that tired 5 treats you a bit better and makes you a snack afterwards.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Seriously? 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?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yeah, what is everybody, Kamala?

    ...Hoo boy.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Scrappy Doo Vs. Poochy III

    ReplyDelete
  60. Papa Shango's comin' home!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Which is an awful idea, because the money's in Taker vs Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  62. And we have a new King of the Super-Smarks!

    ReplyDelete
  63. You make more money from a stadium than you do an arena.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Okay, that was a pretty friggin cool response.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Still wouldn't make as much

    ReplyDelete
  66. see some tits


    Are we talkin' yours or someone else's?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Kind of like Stephanie McMahon as an untalented writer.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Revenge of the Sith is top notch. The Vader/Ben fight is *****.


    BEN'S HARDCORE!!! BEN'S HARDCORE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Yeah, but Irvin Kershner directed the best film of that series, so I'd say that's not Lucas' strongest suit, either.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hopefully the crowd will be better than they were last night, because they were dead for half the night.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Uh...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.


    Look 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.

    ReplyDelete
  72. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  73. He 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.

    ReplyDelete
  74. England has shitty weather all the time. John Cena likes palm trees and warm weather.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Maybe he just sucks then. But hey, Ben Affleck was in how many terrible movies before finding something that worked for him?

    ReplyDelete
  76. He was great right away. The middle part of his career fucked him up.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Well, it technically won't, when Undertaker makes his entrance

    ReplyDelete
  78. you 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.

    ReplyDelete
  79. You said he's middle-of-the-road, I said he's terrible.

    The 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.
