Memorabilia Lane: Valentine’s Day 2014

In Memorabilia Lane, We’ll Discuss the Significance Some Kind of Collectible (T-Shirt, Poster, Action Figure) has on us and its Relation to Wrestling.

 The main stops on the Road to Wrestlemania are the Royal Rumble in January, Elimination Chamber in February, Monday Night RAWs in March and finally Wrestlemania weekend in April. If you think there’s no room for love on the Road to Wrestlemania, you’re mistaken; Valentine’s Day is days before the Elimination Chamber and, luckily, the WWE has you prepared. We stumbled across a set of these WWE themed Valentine’s card last year and had to seek them out again.

If You Got a Kofi Kingston Valentine:

KofiValentine02_3MBThere’s a good chance not much as changed from last year, Valentine. In fact, your 2013 valentine said “I Hope Your Valentine’s Day is Great!” and this year, it says “Have a Great Valentine’s Day!” Variety may be the spice of life for some. Not for you though: it’s consistency. We can rely on you to jump high, kick hard and do some crazy acrobatics in January. When you’re ready to break the routine though, let us know. It’ll make our hearts go Boom! Boom! Boom!

If You Got a Sheamus Valentine:

SheamusValentine_3MBYou could be a winner, Valentine! Despite your aversion to the sun, your interesting accent and your insistance of calling everyone and everything ‘fella,’ you could still be a winner. Just some helpful advice: we like you more when you don’t talk. Your rough and tumble style on the kickball field speaks volumes. We are a little concerned though. You keep talking about grabbing a “pint” at the “bar.” Stop calling your fridge a “bar” and your juiceboxes “pints.” You have a problem, sir! and that’s a shameful thing.

Highlight Reel: A Man Called Robocop

In Highlight Reel, 3MBooth will search for videos to share

To make it in wrestling, it helps to have an ally, someone to watch your back. Take Shawn Michaels for example; he probably couldn’t have made it to Mr. Wrestlemania status without a little help. When Shawn broke into the WWF, he had Marty Jannetty watching his back … until Shawn Superkicked him. Then Diesel watched his back … until Shawn Superkicked him too. Then Sid … until Superkick. Then Triple H … until … Superkick. Okay, you know what? Bad example.

But this isn’t about HBK, it’s about Sting. When the WCW icon was facing off against the Four Horsemen, he needed to recruit someone who he could rely on. Someone who serves the public trust, protects the innocent and upholds the law. No, not the Big Boss Man. For WCW’s Capital Combat 1990, Sting recruited RoboCop to watch his back.

In Nation Of Animation, 3MBooth will spotlight wrestlers using animated gifs

Last week on RAW, Emma was picked out of the crowd by Santino Marella, and competed in a dance-off against Summer Rae.

Although Emma won, it may take a little more than great dance moves to win over the WWE Universe.

Snapshots: Punk No More

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

The wrestling world is still swirling with speculation over CM Punk. Last week, he seemingly “quit” the WWE and went home (“Quit” is in quotes because it has not yet been confirmed). True or not, wrestling fans have been coping with the news in various ways: some people made signs (which were confiscated), all of Omaha Nebraska chanted his name for 3 Hours, Norberto made a Buzzfeed post, and we made a gif set to express our emotions. So what can you do? Well, you can put on your commemorative “CM Punk is gone” t-shirt from NXTees:
