the dates had been switched where it took place in the Carolinas. I know the Carolinas caught a lot of heat, but we are known for upholding tradition and having long term memories. Me and my brother both marked out all night at DiBiase, the Macho reference and almost everything else. I feel like this show in NC or SC would have gotten bigger pops for the nostalgic segments. Thoughts?

If Bret Hart had showed up and locked Vince in the Sharpshooter. Honestly though, I thought the show was very good.

Thoughts? You guys hardly popped for Jericho, fail, as if you forgot him. Hell you hardly popped for Flair those nights. |

They should've had it at Madison Square Garden. Agreed. OR They should have had it in Boston (So I could go ;D ) and had the Smackdown/ECW taping in Conn. |

I was thrilled with the quality of the show, it was the crowd reaction. To be fair, I was talking about truly nostalgic wrestling i.e. Ted DiBiase, Hogan etc. Jericho wasn't around when wrestling was big around here and contrary to popular belief, we had wider access than to just the NWA. The Garden would've been a great place, but I just feel like the Carolinas got the bad rap on here because they didn't go ballistic over Jericho. I mean don't get me wrong, I like Jericho, I really do. I think he's one of the greatest performers of the late 90s and 2000s, but to the average viewer, his return was nothing that special. I think the IWC gets too caught up in who they think are great. Just because we all realize Jericho's tremendous talent, doesnt mean the common viewer really appreciates him that much. I mean would you appreciate a guy who save his undisputed title run, has been run down and buried over and over again? Like the NC, SC and GA crowds or not, we're nastolgic, we pine for the days of Flair-Funk, Flair Steamboat, Flair-Anybody, Hogan, Andre, Savage. We even liked Austin and the bunch. We're just a little more picky about who we cheer than the rest of the country, just because theyre put on our screen as something big, we dont take it that way on average  . |
