A Taboo Pay Per View?

Advantages: A couple of good matches and performances.
Disadvantages: Bias voting tactics, stupid matches, lots of time wasting.

...were two different shows of WWE action; Raw, shown on a Monday night in America, and Smackdown, which recently changed from a Thursday to a Friday night. It got too much for many people, even for the 'marks' (or the die hard, soap opera like fans) of the show who were fed up with seeing the same guys on top all of the time and hogging the coveted Championships. When the WWE announced their first ever 'fan interactive' pay per view in the early part ...
...a year in which the WWE don't mug us. I can never really see the point in buying the pay per view anyway; you might as well wait for the DVD to come out. Here, however, I shoved a tape in the cassette player the following day when it was repeated on Sky Sports and watched in 'awe' as history was made in the world of wrestling. Match #1: Chris Jericho defends his Intercontinental Championship against; Shelton Benjamin, Batista, the Coach, Rhyno, ...

Review of WWE - New Year's Revolution (DVD)

aftermath to Wrestlemania 20

Advantages: Mck Foley V Randy Orton
Disadvantages: Making the Coach wrestle!

Firstly Backlash always has a lot to live up to as it follows Wrestlemania every year. Backlash 2004 did not disappoint and was the perfect follow up to the biggest event of the year. The opening match between Shelton Benjamin v Ric Flair was surprisingly good and made me excited to see the rest of the card. The second match should not of really been on a pay per view, Jonathan Coachman v Taijiri would of been better off on a tv show. The third ...
...who had Trish Stratus with him. I thought this match was rather good and quite fast paced but not as good as Wrestlemania. Lita v Victoria did not provide me with any memorable moments even though it was a solid match. The next match was between Mick Foley and Randy Orton and was the one i looked forward to and it didnt disappoint. It was no holds barred, no dq and Evolution were banned from ringside. It had a bit of everything in it including thumbtacks ...

Review of WWE - Backlash 2004 (DVD)

Annual Survival Tactics

Advantages: Traditional matches
Disadvantages: Nothing special

...November marks the month where WWE will put on it's Survivor Series pay-per-view. The event gained its name for famously having 4 on 4 elimination matches, where the match continued until every member of a team would be eliminated leaving the 'sole survivor(s)'. Over the years that traditioned got pushed to the back a bit for things like the 'Deadly Game' tournament in 98 and the first ever Elimination Chamber match. 2004 was a year where there would ...
...the event be without a WWE Championship match? And in a year where JBL, formerly known as Bradshaw, was getting a huge push, he would have to defend his title against Booker T. JBL was a pretty big shock when he won the title off Eddie Guerrero earlier in the year, and didn't win any fans by this push, although by the end of it he had gained the respect of the crowd to be a worthy champ. And the biggest prize in Womens wrestling would be on the line ...

Review of WWE - Survivor Series 2004 (DVD)

Mamma Said Knock You Out!

Advantages: Great action, great price, no boring bits!
Disadvantages: Could be longer

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) use the slogan 'As Real As It Gets' and this DVD showcases why they chose that as their tag line - this is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) action personified! Over the years UFC has changed a little bit and they do have some rules now - believe it or not! However, back in the beginning there were no rules - at UFC 4 (16th Dec 1994) you'll see Keith Hackney repeatedly punch Joe Son in the groin, but I digress - that's ...
...boring - this is where Ultimate Knockouts excels. It cuts out anything that may be construed as boring and goes straight to the bit we all want to see - the knockout! One huge benefit of this DVD is the repeat viewing factor. How many times have you spent money on a DVD only to watch it once and then put it away to gather dust until you take it down to MVC along with another 15 'one time watch' DVDs to swap them for one and a half DVDs from the ...
