The Concrete Crypt Match at GAB 2004

[agent817]

Do you think that deserves to be inducted? I read the OOTRR of that PPV recently on Online Onslaught and man, does Adam Gutschmidt bury that PPV and display his hate towards it. I heard about the angle at the time involving Undertaker and Paul Bearer against Paul Heyman and his goons, The Dudley Boyz. I also noticed on clips I found on YouTube of Paul Bearer being in some glass chamber with what appeared to be concrete (I am not sure what the substance really was, but I doubt it was really concrete). I also saw the ending to the match and saw that that's one of the reasons why the PPV sucked. I haven't watched the show but I read mixed reviews about it. I can understand the fact that the show felt thrown together, despite a couple of decent matches like Rey/Chavo and JBL/Eddie (I have seen the latter before. Nice brawl, even though I wasn't fond of the finish), but a lot of the matches were pointless and not that good. I also heard that some fans thought that the concrete crypt thing was real. Hell, it could've fooled anybody, same with the ending to Survivor Series 2000 with Austin manning a forklift and lifting up a car with Triple H inside and dropping it.

What's your opinion? Wouldn't surprise me if that was nominated for the 2004 Gooker Award but I wouldn't know since I didn't start coming to this site until late 2005.

It sounds like something that could've(Maybe not, but could've) been great long-term, but they Hot Shotted the resolution.

[Triple Kelly]

Already inducted.

Reviewed it recently for the IMDB page.


God, that blew hard on WCW 98 level stuff. The ppv as a whole was definately not the worst, but the main event is way up there as the worst. Just alot of aimless story telling and Heyman periodically yakking on the mic and changing the rules, like a crap screw job Smackdown main event.
