I Was There: WWE Live (01/24/15) #WWEIZOD

Maybe Seth was in a bad mood because the last time he was at the IZOD Center, he was in the Shield. Ambrose and Reigns have a bit of a reunion. They teamed up to face the Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt and the Ruiner of Things, Big Show. Roman walked the stairs for the last timeΒ  and Dean Ambrose went all “lunatic fringe” (we’re not sure what it means either); but the remaining brothers of the Shield were ready to tear the roof off the IZOD Center.

3MB_WWEIZOD_20150124_0048The crowd at the IZOD Center was happy seeing their favorites (and Big Show) one last time. Cena addressed the crowd after his win, echoing the sentiments that had been said by the Superstars in attendance before him. The Brendan Byrnes Arena / the Meadowlands / the Continental Airlines Arena / The IZOD center is a special place for wrestling. Everyone in attendance knew it; everyone at the WWE knew it. They made a tribute video featuring Legends like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and Ron Simmons talking about their memories of the venue. But more important than the place is the fans. The energy and enthusiasm from the fans in that place can be heard all through New Jersey, no matter the location. And those are the people he wants, the WWE wants, wrestling needs. Check out more photos from this event on our Facebook page.

Snapshots: Thank You IZOD Center

In Snapshots, 3MBooth will search for images to share.

We were fortunate enough to attend the WWE Live Event at the IZOD Center on January 24th. Unfortunately, the news broke that the IZOD Center will be closing permanently, making this show the last wrestling show – if not the last event – to ever take place in this building.

3MB_Snapshots_20150124_0001We wanted to say, “Thank You, IZOD!” in person, as did many WWE Superstars.

Zach Looks Back: Royal Rumble 2011

16 – Tyler Reks. One half of a one week stripping tag team with the underrated Curt Hawkins! Well, he had dreads and the reverse Cena finisher, otherwise a quick toss out by New Nexus. Last scene in a tag match in PWS, sadly not against Starman or Habib from the Car Wash. (Quits: 1-15)

17 – Vladimir Kozlov. Well, HHH and Taker tried to put the Moscow Mauler over. I’ll always remember him for his tea party with Santino looking like Mr. Bean. I also just watched him as a heavy in the Wire, so he’s got that going for him over the other 39 guys in this match. (Released: 1-16)

18 – R-Truth. The year before, he dumped out Big Show and Mark Henry simultaneously. He then turned heel, smoked in England, and got reamed out by Undertaker for being late to Elimination Chamber practice (Thanks Chris Jericho’s book for the info!) Somehow, the second active competitor who may be in the 2015 Rumble… (Active, somehow: 2-16)

19 – Great Khali. Ah, the Punjab Playboy. I wrote plenty about his agility and charm in his Punjabi Prison match, so I don’t want to repeat myself. Khali was quietly let go this year, and is now apparently the most terrifying cop in India! (Released: 2-17)

20 – Mason Ryan. Well… he debuts by kicking Punk, then is accepted into the Nexus. He goes to NXT and dominates a battle royal, and that was that for him. Also currently seen in PWS, and no not against CPA or The Revolting Blob! (Released: 2-18)

21 – Booker T. It’s the tremendous β€œI’m Marking Out Bro!” call. Poor Matt Striker, good job at NJPW. Anyhow, each member of the Nexus stood still as Booker did one move to each. He then spinaroonies, right out of the ring. Currently promoted to commentary on RAW with JBL and Michael Cole. (Retired: 2-19)

22 – John Cena. Lets Go Cena! __________________________ (You fill in that blank!) Cena single handily does what Cena does and eliminates basically everyone in the ring at this point. #LOLCENAELIMINATES (Active: 3-19)

So That Happened: #RAW AKA #RAWReunion Recap (01/19/15)

nWo reunion:

https://twitter.com/MissDaniBaby/status/557372209866743808

Scott Hall asks the WWE Universe to take a survey. Hall asks how many people are here for the RAW Reunion (Booooo!) Hall asks how many people are here for the RAW Reunion with the nWo (Yayyyy!)

https://twitter.com/prettyheartless/status/557372611647524866

Kevin Nash says the nWo single-handedly created the Monday Night Wars, which you can see on the WWE Network for 9 dollars and 99 cents. Nash says their invasion caused WWE to step up their game to create Stone Cold Steve Austin, D-Generation X and the entire Attitude Era. Nash says the nWo is probably responsible for everything great that has ever been created.

X-Pac starts to talk, but gets interrupted by The Ascension.

After loud “You Suck” chants, Konnor says The Ascension was born and bred to rip and shred. Viktor claims no tag team is better than The Ascension, especially not a tag team from WCW. Konnor tells The Ascension to “Welcome To The Wasteland” but the WWE Universe starts chanting nWo. Scott Hall throws a toothpick at Konnor

The Ascension almost fights the nWo, but JBL interrupts.

JBL stands up and trashes The Ascension for calling out the legends. JBL says he had a feeling that might have happened, so he made a little phone call.

Road Dogg says there ain’t a party like an old school party because an old school party don’t stop. Road Dogg says so far, the party has thoroughbreds and race horses. Road Dogg asks who invited the jackasses, then they attack The Ascension. JBL hits the Clothesline From Hell on Viktor.

As everyone celebrates, X-Pac takes off his nWo hoodie and reveals a DX shirt.
