General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Trigun]

Freight Train was born Charles Stevenson, a son of a single mother trying to make ends meet. While Charles may have struggled during his childhood, as an adult he has become one of the most beloved figures in the world of professional wrestling. Much like everything in Freight Train's life he had to fight for it. Charles dealt with an undiagnosed mental condition, greedy wrestling school owners and shady promoters before he found his place in the world known as $5 Wrestling. A small wrestling promotion based on lovable characters doing everything they could to make it. Freight Train proved to be the most endearing of all the $5 Wrestlers. Charles' 14 years of fighting rejection finally paid off and he had become the talk of the wrestling world. To further show the scope of Freight Train's popularity a Kickstarter campaign was launched to send him to the UK to wrestle for Preston City Wrestling, one of the premier wrestling promotions in the UK. This documentary covers the lowest of lows in Freight Train's life and the highest of the highs. Along for the ride is the promoter of $5 Wrestling, Jake Manning who has been greatly effected by the positive mindset and unbelievable perseverance of Charles. Something that Jake simple refers to as, The Power Of The Freight Train.

Well 566 dollars later, got my wrestlemania tickets. Presale still going on, wwevip is the keyword.

[Xno Kappa]

What kind of seats you get?

[Melena]

Section 128 row 23. Essentially i'll be looking straight down the aisle to the ring to the entrance. So I should be in good view to see the destruction of the announce table

Here's a link to the event seating map if anyone else is thinking of springing for tickets.

Spoiler: show

They haven't made an announcement but looks Khali is done with the WWE. He's been moved to the Alumni section in the Web page.

Considering the budget cuts I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner since he makes like $1 million a year.

[Xno Kappa]

Good. The guy started to look like he struggled to even walk.

[Vagrant]

He managed to save his career for years by being the big Indian market draw. Guess that wasn't enough anymore.

[noblemountain]

he is the last real "attraction" in wrestling. vince would have kept him around forever, i imagine it was his choice

[Krandor]

He managed to save his career for years by being the big Indian market draw. Guess that wasn't enough anymore.

He wasn't much of a draw anymore, he definitely got some people attracted to the product there but wasn't a big deal at this point.

His initial draw is what definitely led the his large contract in the first place though.

[Anoat]

Maybe now he can focus on acting. The "Get Smart" sequel is awaiting.

[noblemountain]

So is anyone gonna order the NJPW ppv now that JR is calling it?

[Vagrant]

I was going to order it before that probably so I'll definitely be checking it out.

[Krandor]

I was debating it but JR definitely made it an instant yes.

[Xno Kappa]

Are they trying to give the black wrestlers a Pope-like gimmick?

[Krandor]

Don't know how long this will stay up, but the triple threat IC Title match on Smackdown was awesome. Like, match of the year contender.

[Xno Kappa]

Holy shit! Maybe I need to start paying more attention to Smackdown, that match was ridiculously awesome. Some of the spots were amazing.

[Doombear]

Haven't been watching Smackdown the last few weeks, but I did tonight. That match was clearly the standout match. Holy shit.

[NynJa]

aaaaaaaaand its gone

[Fiendishone]

Don't know how long this will stay up, but the triple threat IC Title match on Smackdown was awesome. Like, match of the year contender.

I still have it on my dvr saved so I can watch it many times. Been awhile since they've had a match of that calibur. Only thing about it that sucks is that it was in front of the Brits and not stateside though!
