I Was There: Wrestlemania 30

In β€œI Was There” 3MBooth provides a first hand account of a things we attend.

Tonight, NBC aired their Wrestlemania 30 special. They did their best to condense the “SuperBowl of Wrestling” into a one-hour show which is as impossible a feat as it was for Hulk Hogan to body slam Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3. That moment was on Hogan’s mind as he hosted the spectacle, which caused him to say “Silverdome” instead of Superdome, the name of the New Orleans venue.

But NBC covered this; let’s us this as a reason to go back and revisit Wrestlemania Sunday 2014 and something they didn’t cover.

Snapshots: Destination X – Week 1

In Snapshots, Three Man Booth searches for images to share.

Back in June, TNA did 3 days of TV tapings in the Grand Ballroom, the venue above the Hammerstein Ballroom. It has been a place for wrestling over the years, from the early days of Monday Night RAW to tentpole locations for ECW and ROH. Now, with TNA making its debut, we had to attend. We don’t want to reveal any spoilers, but from this week’s show, Destination X – Week 1, there were 2 things we wanted to share.

Paul Heyman doesn’t care which side you side on, but thinks the Malpracticing Doctor Of Thuganomics, John Cena, is in for the beating of a lifetime.

Paul Heyman tells the WWE Universe that he doesn’t just hype for the sake of it, he shows historical facts and shoves it down their throats. Heyman shows the footage of Brock Lesnar conquering The Undertaker’s Undefeated Streak.

Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar beat The Undertaker so bad, that the Chairman, Vince McMahon had to ride with Taker to the hospital because even the heartless Chairman, was concerned for a Deadman’s Life. Heyman tells Cena that same beating awaits him. Heyman says Lesnar will take John Cena down, punch his face in and be hurt by Brock Lesnar.

Paul Heyman brings up the myth that John Cena is the greatest WWE World Heavyweight Champion of all time and his 15 World Title Victories. Heyman says that sounds like something worth conquering. Heyman recites the Brock Lesnar Version of the Pledge Of Allegiance, then calls himself the one behind the 1 in 21-1.

Paul Heyman says that at Summerslam, his client Brock Lesnar will defeat John Cena and become the WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World.
