Thats What I Call Wrestling Unlucky No. #13: The Ultimate WrestleMania Challenge

—————————————
“I’ve got to prove one thing to all my Hulkamaniacs out there. It’s not whether ya win or whether ya lose. The only thing that matters is what kind of winner you are or what kind of loser you are, and Ultimate Warrior, I sure hope you’re a good loser, brother! Whatcha gonna do… at Skydome, when the Largest Arms in the World and Hulkamania destroys you?”
(Hulk Hogan, WrestleMania VI: The Ultimate Challenge, 1st April, 1990)

Tonight’s the night and in keeping with annual tradition I am looking forward to sitting back, drinking some Real Ales and watching WrestleMania. As we gear up for what has traditionally been WWE’s biggest show of the year, I can’t help but be reminded that we are approaching the Twentieth Anniversary of one of the most memorable matches in (W)WWF/E history.

Now Thats What I Call Wrestling #11: WWE Elimination Chamber – Analysis, Possibilities and Predictions
by TheBigBoot on 21 February 2010
“The Elimination Chamber is one of the most unforgiving structures in WWE history. Two Superstars start the match, while four others are held in chambers inside the structure. After a predetermined amount of time, one Superstar is released from his chamber and let out into the fray. This continues until all six Superstars have entered the action. A Superstar can only be eliminated when he is pinned or submits. The last man standing in this match is declared the winner.” (WWE’s official description of The Elimination Chamber Match)
Tonight’s the night: ‘The Road To WrestleMania’ hits a turning point marked St. Louis for Elimination Chamber. Maybe it’s because I was on holiday the weekend of Royal Rumble or maybe it’s because I’ve found the build-up to WrestleMania so far to be underwhelming, but I’m quite interested to see what goes down tonight.

Now Thats What I Call Wrestling #10: Reflections on the Cusp of a New Monday Night War
by TheBigBoot on 4 January 2010
Tonight’s the night! Put it this way, I haven’t watched an episode of iMPACT! since around the time it left TWC for the green pastures of Bravo in early 2007. Fact. I’ve read spoilers/reports, watched (some but not all of) the PPVs and downloaded/Youtubed the odd highly touted match from iMPACT! (like all those Kong/Kim matches). But I haven’t watched a full show in almost three years. I’m going to watch tonight’s episode.
