Lesnar is HUGE in this area. I will be there live with 11 other guys. Most of them are MMA guys and want to see Lesnar more than anything. Also, besides GSP, Lesnar seemed to be the guy to fill bars during UFC PPVs in the area ( I rotate between 4 bars for PPV's, and Lesnar and GSP were the biggest draws).
Not to mention Brock beating Rock at Summerslam 2002 on Long Island was basically a babyface reaction for Brock the whole way.
I'll be there. I will cheer against HHH and for Brock fairly adamantly. Rock/Cena...can I boo both?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a heel/heel match so in the boo/yay spot we can just get BOO!/BOO!
ReplyDeleteHEY, DUDES OR DUDETTES. SORRY FOR HI-JACKING THIS THREAD BUT CAN ANYONE FIND ME THAT TANK ABBOTT MATCH WHERE HE PULLS A KNIFE ON BIG AL LIVE ON TV?
ReplyDeleteBEEN TRYING TO FIND IT FOREVER BUT ALL YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THIS MATCH ARE DOWN
ReplyDeleteJust... please stop. :(
ReplyDeleteTrips was basically treated like a joke in LA so what makes him think a smarkier crowd is going to react any better to him this time around?
ReplyDeleteThis is why it's HBK in the corner, and not Stephanie as originally planned.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the reasons they brought back Shawn to be in HHH's corner, aside from the fact that he's awesome, is it will help pull some cheers towards Hunter as people love DX. Otherwise, straight up HHH vs. Brock and a North-East crowd wlil be heavily in Lesnar's corner.
ReplyDeleteWhy? You don't stop "threadjacking" to stuff you read at 411. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe's tried to get VSLBL over for a while now and it's just not working. He's the only one who uses it. It's like Morrison trying to get "Mr. Ziggles" over.
ReplyDeleteShame. I would have loved to see HHH and Stephanie trying to get a face reaction from a NY crowd.
ReplyDeleteI like it, i'm just too lazy to type that every time I refer to VIKING SPACE LORD BROCK LESNAR!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't over? I've probably gotten over 200 something up votes for those posts.
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait, hold up.... Long Island actually reacted to something?
ReplyDeleteOh it would have been brutal. Is there anyone that people want to cheer less than Stephanie?
ReplyDeleteI use Viking Space Lord Brock Lesnar everytime I mention him to friends now. It´s gaining momentum.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's played out, although maybe I'm jealous since I can't get "Dang Jethro" or "Moustache Ride" over.
ReplyDeleteSchiavone trying to cover it up is the best part "I think he threatened to shave his beard".
ReplyDeleteWait..this is a real thing?!
ReplyDeleteYea at Superbrawl 2000. Still to this day haven't got any insite or backstory behind it
ReplyDeleteNow that begs the question: Will it work?
ReplyDeleteLong Island actually reacted to something not involving Zack Ryder?
ReplyDeleteFTFY
Yep
ReplyDeleteWe NYers are going to make up for the debacle that was Brock's reaction at WMXX. We're sorry, bud.
ReplyDeleteI refer to myself as Spike Viking Metal Space Lord Patrick Burke at work all the time now... and on the volleyball court.
ReplyDeleteI like it too, but I'd feel like an awful plagiarist if I were ever to use it in my own posts
ReplyDeletePark Side Killers.
ReplyDeleteIT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIND THESE DAYS. WHY WOULD ANYONE PROTECT THIS FOOTAGE FROM LEAKING? THE ONLY FOOTAGE I FOUND HAS PEOPLE DUBBING COMMENTARY OVER IT AND IT'S GOD AWFUL.
ReplyDeleteYOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE "I CAN FUCKING KILL YOU RIGHT NOW" MONOLOGUE BY TANK. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I'M COMPILING A LIST OF PRO WRESTLING MATCHES GONE WRONG AND I NEED THIS.
I mean at that point even Triple H is admitting that this isn't going as planned. Needs Shawn in his corner for heat?
ReplyDeleteDamnit I can't find it either and now I really want to see it!
ReplyDeleteI'm ridiculously upset that I'm not going to make it to Mania this year, especially since I'm so close to the Meadowlands. Stupid work sending me to a conference in Saratoga.
ReplyDeleteKevin Sullivan told Tank he needed a "gimmick". As in some sort of object or weapon. Tank pulls the knife, goes backstage, Sullivan flips out, and Tank is all - u mad, the knife IS my gimmick.
ReplyDeleteMust see this list!
ReplyDeleteITS FUCKING GOOD. I HAVE FOOTAGE OF EVERYTHING CEPT FOR THIS MATCH AND MIKE LEVY
ReplyDeleteHe deserved it so don't apologize.
ReplyDeleteGet your popcorn ready for this one.
ReplyDeleteShoulda been on ebay last week, my copy sold for $5 fucking bucks. Never had a 2000 WCW show go for less than $15
ReplyDeleteHe also tried to carry Big Al on his shoulders to the top rope and couldnt and dropped him all the way to the floor right before grabbing the jacket and jumping down to threaten him with the knife. Totally nuts.
ReplyDeleteI bet if she dumped em out the reaction would be ok.
ReplyDeleteYEA BUT BIG AL WAS BEING A BIG DICK. THE DUDE WAS BALANCING HIS WEIGHT ON TANK'S FACE. WITH BOOTS TOO. WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT?!
ReplyDeleteIs that the jobber that Saturn beat up?
ReplyDeleteNO THAT'S MIKE BELL. ALSO ON THE LIST. I BELIEVE HE'S THE DUDE'S BROTHER OF WHO DIRECTES "BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER"
ReplyDeleteMIKE LEVY GOES BY WHITELION I THINK. IT WAS SOME IWA BULLSHIT WHERE THEY ALL STARTED SHOOTING ON THE GUY
ReplyDeleteHas HHH ever gotten a solid face reaction outside of DX? I remember him getting cheered against Cena in '06 but that almost doesn't even count.
ReplyDeleteNY crowds have turned on Shawn before (see: Survivor Series 96).
ReplyDeleteSearch for Superbrawl IX, I think.
ReplyDeleteI TRIED, BROTHER. I EVEN TRIED SUPERBRAWL 2000. GOOGLE VIDEOS CAN'T HELP ME, MAN. I NEED YOUUUUUUUUU. THE POWER OF THE FANS TO SUPPORT ME INTO THIS BATTLE. I NEED THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE TO SUPRESS INTO GREATER HEIGHTS THAT EVEN I NEVER IMAGINED.
ReplyDeleteI might have a copy of the show on VHS....
ReplyDeletethey will still boo.. hopefully
ReplyDeleteI was at SummerSlam 2002. Long Island crowds are usually awful but they were hot for a lot of the night, especially Rock/Brock. Cheering the hell out of Lesnar was awesome as cheering for the heel in a main event was still fairly new. Loved that show.
ReplyDeleteYeah but that was different since Shawn was an active performer and not at "living legend" status. Aside from Canadia, I don't think there's any market that would negatively react to Shawn.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats delusional HHHaters.
ReplyDeleteComing back in 2002 he got a pretty huge pop.
ReplyDeleteI'll be quite interested in seeing the reaction on Sunday, as NY has never liked Shawn. I think he got booed more than Trips at "WrestleMania 20".
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get White Mandingo Brock Lesnar over, so I'm on your side with Viking Space Lord Brock Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I picture the guy who wrote this email looking/talking like a stereotypical Jersey Shore guy and it makes it that much funnier.
ReplyDeleteI guess NY doesn't really like anybody, probably except for people nobody else likes or is supposed to like. But I think Shawn's considered at a different level now even when compared to 2004. I'm sure that him and Bret burying the hatchet helps a bunch. I guess I can't say they'll definitely cheer Shawn but I'd still be surprised if he's booed.
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm hoping for a thunderous We Want Ryder chant during HHH's match
ReplyDeleteThis
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of people I'd like to cheer less than Stephanie... well not cheer, fuck.
ReplyDeleteSaratoga? That is the ship Sisko was on at Wolf 359
