Smackdown in Glens Falls, N.Y. review…

Just got back from Smackdown in Glens Falls, N.Y. It wasn’t a televised event either. There were no cameras surrounding the ring like the usual and there were no announcer table. Do you know what that means? That means that this Smackdown show was a “House” show. A “house” show is a type of wrestling show in WWE that is not televised. I don’t think WWE would televise a live event in a small city like Glens Falls anyways. If Smackdown was in Albany, N.Y. at the Times Union Center that’s when they’ll televise it.

Superstars that were there tonight: Carlito, Kizarny, Chavo Guerrero, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, The Great Khali, Shelton Benjamin, Maria Kinellis, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Vladmir Kozlov, etc.

There were no big names tonight. No Edge, no Big Show, no Undertaker. Not even “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan.

The main event of the night was Jeff Hardy vs. Vladmir Kozlov (the Russian wrestler). Jeff Hardy of course won the match with a Matt Hardy interference.

The Great Khali had a match against Shelton Benjamin for the USA title, of course Shelton won by disqualification. Seeing the Great Khali live in person, holy fucking SHIT!!! This GUY is a fucking MONSTER! He is huge! On TV, The Great Khali may not seem as big, but if you see him in person, he is a GIANT. When the Great Khali was shaking fans hands around the ring after the match got over with, I got to shake Khali’s hand. His hand is huge and when he takes your hand, it’s almost like a tight grip. Amazing guy, Khali is.

I got to shake Jeff Hardy’s hand too, when he was going around shaking fans hands so that was cool. Where did I sit? I did get ringside tickets, I was sitting on the floor pretty close to the ring actually. You can stand close to the ring as superstars are entering and exiting matches, but you can’t stand in front of the ring during the match though.

I got pictures of the show and got some good close ups of Chavo Guerrero, Khali, Vladmir, Jeff Hardy, and Shelton Benjamin.

After the show got over with, we went to the back of the Civic Center ’cause there was a huge line of fans waiting for the superstars to exit the building to get in their cars. We did see one superstar get in the car and leave, it was Brian Kendrick. Yes, I did see Brian Kendrick get in a black car with a Vermont license plate, he just got in and took off. It was kind of funny.

It wasn’t a bad show. It was ok and pretty good. I did have fun seeing superstars in person and up close though. I’ll post pictures of the show tomorrow. Hopefully they did come out good.

Brock going to Smackdown in Glens Falls this Sunday!

Yeah, I am going to Smackdown at the Glens Falls Civic Center this Sunday March 1st. Showtime starts at 5:00 p.m. Although the show starts at 5 p.m., Smackdown will be opened by ECW. ECW will start the show for a while, then the actual Smackdown show after.

While we definitely won’t be seeing Triple H in Glens Falls, he’s a RAW superstar now, we’ll still get to see The Undertaker, Edge, and Big Show though.

Vickie Guerrero is no longer a Smackdown General Manager. She is now RAW GM. So Smackdown in Glens Falls don’t have to worry about her whiny voice over the mic. Yes, I’m sure there’ll be some kind of Hacksaw Jim Duggan appearance, there’s gotta be. Hacksaw Jim Duggan is probably the only reason there’s a Smackdown show in his hometown.

Sunday’s going to be fun. I’m bringing my digital camera to take pics of the show. I’ll post ’em in the blog the day after.

Thought: Chris Jericho will definitely have something to say about Mickey Rourke losing an Oscar tonight on RAW!!!!

Last week on RAW Chris Jericho begged the Academy to not give the Oscar to Mickey Rourke for “Best Actor”. Well, Jericho’s wish actually came true. Tonight on RAW, you can betcha that Jericho will be out in the ring, smiling and being happy, and all that Mickey Rourke didn’t win anything. Jericho will be trashing him tonight, big time. Of course, a different legend will probably confront Jericho tonight.

Rumours going around the wrestling websites, that it maybe Sgt. Slaughter next, but we’ll have to tune in RAW tonight to see.

On a side note, you know what would be funny if Mickey Rourke did win last night, he goes up to make his acceptance speech and suddenly Jericho interupts him at the Oscars? It would be scripted of course, but it would have added fuel  to the fire for their Wrestlemania fued. Jericho showing up at the Oscars during Rourke’s acceptance speech would have been hilarious!!!

Is Mickey hinting us that he’s going to Wrestlemania?

Check out Mickey Rourke’s pics at the Spirit Awards, he’s holding a WWE World Champ belt from the RAW brand.

Is that a sign that Mickey changed his mind about dropping out of Wrestlemania, and he’s actually going to do it? I’m not sure if that belt that Mickey holding is the actual belt from WWE or a replica.

I’m on the look out for more pics of Mickey Rourke at the Spirit Awards.

RANT: Wrestlemania no longer needs the Hulkster, don’t get him!!!

Did you know that behind the scenes of the WWE that Vince McMahon tries to get Hulk Hogan to perform a match at Wrestlemania every year? Yep, I believe it’s true. They are trying to get Hogan to fight John  Cena at Wrestlemania 25 this year.

Honestly, I kind of lost my respect to the Hulkster since the Nick Hogan crash controversy, and the Linda/Hulk divorce battle. I don’t care to see Hulk Hogan in WWE anymore. Now he’s out doing some stupid reality show with Eric Bischoff, that I’ve been reading about, a celebrity wrestling kind of thing or something.

Stone Cold being at Wrestlemania 25 is fine with me, ’cause I actually am a longtime Stone Cold fan and still am. The Hulkster’s an asshole, and a douchebag. He lives in his own world that he thinks he invented profesional wrestling when that isn’t true at all.

Wrestlemania 25 will do fine without Hulk Hogan. I’m fine with the other legends from the past being a part of the show but anybody except Hulkamania. Hulk ruined his own life. Screwed his own family, screwed his own career. He went from big profesional legend to a sore loser.

I don’t ever want to see Hogan in WWE ever again, so I hope and pray that he says no to being at Wrestlemania again this year.

Thought: Yep, Triple H is a RAW superstar now, he’s no longer Smackdown, sorry Glens Falls!!!

This is kind of sad news. For you wrestling fans who live in Glens Falls or anywhere in the Capital District looking forward to seeing Triple H, “The Game” perform in the Glens Falls Civic Center, March 1st, don’t get your hopes up.

Triple H just showed up at the very end of last night’s RAW after Randy Orton delivered Stephanie McMahon, the RKO. So this means that Triple H is staying on the RAW brand, so there is no chance of seeing Trips in Glens Falls, March 1st now. The good news is, that he is 13th time World Champ, that’s all that matters. It is dissapointing that Glens Falls won’t see Trips at the March 1st Smackdown show, that sucks. 😦

Oh well, we’ll still get to see the Undertaker on the March 1st Smackdown in Glens Falls though, so that’s gonna be awesome.

Last night’s RAW was good. Rowdy Roddy Piper came out to the ring to confront Chris Jericho about the Mickey Rourke thing, that was one of the best speeches I’ve heard from Piper in years. You can really see the emotion in Piper as he was explaining to Jericho about Legends in WWE and Rourke’s  movie, “The Wrestler”. A different Hall of Famer to confront Jericho each week on RAW until Wrestlemania?

What legend will confront Jericho on next week’s RAW? My money is on either the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase Sr., “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, Cowboy Bob Orton, Hulk Hogan or even Stone Cold. Stone Cold or Hogan will probably be the last to confront Jericho the week before Wrestlemania.
