Back to these guys again for their third of five PPVs. It’s been about two months since the last show and we have a new world champion in the form of Nathan Jones who won the title about a week before this show. We’ve also got a vacant Cruiserweight Championship as Eddie Guerrero went back to the WWF so it’s mini tournament time! Let’s get to it.

The Forerunner of TNA But With Even Less Star Power

Let me know in a few months when you are on backyard feds.

It's kind of a shame as the first show wasn't terrible. Somehow these guys would get Sting for their next two shows.

I always find it confusing when Foley marks claim to be anti-hardcore wrestling.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm anti-hardcore when it's done at random. I'm definitely not a fan of Foley's deathmatch stuff and have no interest in watching it. Stuff like his hardcore matches with HHH were based on their hatred for each other. If it's story driven I can live with it far easier. Also the matches were usually better.

I saw their Sydney show once. My first live event and there was a wardrobe malfunction in the women's match. Also, Bret Hart did a sharpshooter in the cage for no reason.

I always find it confusing when Foley marks claim to be anti-hardcore wrestling.

Except he has said time and time again that he detests violence for the sake of violence. It's a staple sentence for his ECW reviews.

 

[shattered dreams]

Foley never makes it off the indies without violence for the sake of violence.


I just watched the first episode of British Boot Camp. WWE is definitely going to steal a lot of things from this. Things I learned: apparently I find working class English accents unattractive, knickers in a twist is a vastly superior saying to panties in a bunch and drunken "fights" over the number of twitter followers are hilarious.

Episode 2: I would , I guess faces are a little different in England. I thought Marty was the heel for most of the first episode.
