I assume Takeover would probably be at the Prudential Center in Newark. I would go for Takeover, but skip WM. Huge arena shows just aren't my thing, and even a building the size of the Prudential Center is too big for my liking. I'm partial to shows and concerts in smaller venues.

I think every year for the last few it's hit the 70s and 80s in April so you could get that or you could get a high in the 50s with a low in the 30s. What were the temps the last time WM was at Metlife? I'm not sure if you went, but I think Dolfan and Brian both went.

It was fucking COLD in the cheap seats once the sun went down.  They built the special heater ring for the Jersey Mania, but once you got out of that lower bowl, the building got colder.

I would absolutely love it if NXT did a non-traditional location in NYC for Mania weekend and ran Webster Hall. Or even better, run a show on The Great Lawn in Central Park. (This will *never* happen, but fuck it, I can dream.)

But it's probably going to be Prudential Center because I'm sure at this point, the Takeovers basically cover the cost of the Performance Center.

Kenta Kobashi liked one of my tweets today and later Yuji Tsuruta (Jumbo's oldest son) followed me on Twitter. I win "puroresu nerd" today.

The Colons really are cursed (at least during their WWE run)

 

Like just about everybody else, I forgot the Colon's were still with WWE.

Amen. I was right above the ramp and the most over thing in my section all night were the fireballs in Taker's intro.

Then after the show when we got back down to ground level, we were stunned how it wasn't actually all that cold.

They really should have put the Intercontinental Championship on Bob Backlund so he could also complete the Triple Crown.

Wasn't Backlund's tag title reign disallowed? If so, he'd need both belts.

No, it's recognized that Backlund and Pedro were tag team champions, just that Backlund had to give up one of them - you couldn't hold two titles at once back then.  Obviously, Backlund wasn't giving up the World title.

That always bothered me from a kayfabe standpoint. If it was obvious that the title is just going to be vacated if one team wins, then why is it a title match? Especially since the Samoans won the belts back in a "tournament" (which doesn't appear to actually exist aside from the final) after Backlund and Morales had to vacate the title, so there isn't really much of a reason why they did the switch unless it was just to solidify that you can't hold two titles.

Bull Nakano liked a tweet I made about her without me even @ing her in once. My friend said she probably had an app that automatically liked all of the tweets that mentioned her, but when I did a search for her name the vast majority of tweets referencing her had not been liked by her, so he can go fuck himself.
