WWE

Since I got MCE working I’ve been watching TV on a one day delay - that way I don’t have to actually remember when things are on. One such show was ECW One Night Stand, which has definitely been the best “WWE” pay-per-view* in a long time. And 90% of the reason was the fans who just never shut up. The funniest example was the Cena/RVD match. After a whole match of the fans tearing Cena apart, he manages a good move that I haven’t seen him do before. The crowds response? “You still suck”.

For a complete review check out Online Onslaught.

Somewhat disappointingly, but not exactly surprisingly, Bret Hart was not at Wrestlemania 22. There was some vague announcement by Howard Finkel before the Hall of Fame inductees were present about Bret being uncomfortable with the show.

Interesting crossover - female wrestler Stacy Keibler is apparently doing well on Dancing with Stars, the American version of Strictly Come Dancing.

There was an bit on the news today about UFC. Apparently brutal cage fights are being banned in various states in America because they’re too dangerous. At the end the reporter said that even where it is banned, you can buy DVDs via mail order and the internet with footage of the action. He then held up the “WWE Bloodbath - The Most Incredible Cage Matches”.

WWE!? I’m sure that WWE would be offended to be accused of the brutality of UFC and UFC would be annoyed about being compared with fake pro wrestling. Not only that but the DVD contains matches from 1975 to 2002. Early WWE (or WWF as it was) was even sillier in the past.
