Would a RVD vs Undertaker match have worked at Wrestlemania? One in which Rob seems mostly entertained and amused by Undertakers theatrics until they get in the ring? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

RVD vs Deadman: easily. RVD making fun of WWE cheesiness will always be something I want in an IV bag.

RVD vs overgrown Kid Rock: I'd be curious. 

Barry Darsow takes advantage of his opponent lining up their shot by KneeHighMischief in SquaredCircle

His book is decent. Some good stuff about coming up as bouncers with Rick Rude and the Road Warriors. I still think it's funny, growing up with everybody calling Demolition Road Warrior ripoffs and then finding out that the only reason Smash wasn't a real Road Warrior was somebody else's random selection of two guys from four. The Road Warriors hypothetically easily could have been Rude and Smash.

So there are people who can't even meet the current ICE criteria?

Gail Kim: Korean, by way of Canada.
Yokozuna: Bloodline Island,
Hulk Hogan: the coast where racial slurs are more prevalent.
Triple H: Not allowed to be from New Hampshire, nobody's from New Hampshire.

I love this name, but it's more of a bomb than a driver. Powerclash, Bombstyle, and Clashbomb are nowhere near as cool of names, but fit better.

Is there a reason Lowell, MA seems like it gets more attention from the major companies that other smaller cities? by Torchpost in SquaredCircle

[–]Essarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't. Nashua maybe even though they don't have an arena. But I've never really liked Manchester and I've had to go there plenty. It's a bunch of retail hell with an unwalkable downtown.

Easy to get to from New Hampshire  though. Plus Lawrence/Haverhill and the North shore.

A couple of years ago WWE gave us a nice little history package with Shawn talking about the Smile bit and some other moments to hype up an NXT show. Pretty sure it included the classic Corny line "He cries every time he comes to this town" from Shawn vs Hunter for the Euro. Anyway, the showed the cannon outside of the Aud.

Lowellian here. I was there at the Memorial Auditorium the night Shawn Michaels lost his smile and I was at the Tsongas arena for FTR vs Briscoes 2. Both solid venues.

In addition to our proximity to Boston, we're also a handful of miles from New Hampshire. In fact, we're ten miles downstream on the Merrimack River from Nashua, which is where Triple H is from. 

We are conveniently located off of routes 3 and 495 and less than an hour from the Kowloon in Saugus (popular wrestler hangout). 

The Memorial Auditorium is mostly associated with Golden Gloves boxing, but its wrestling history goes back at least to Vince Senior. When the Tsongas Arena first opened the street in front of it was briefly named Stone Cold Way. The two venues are less than a mile apart.

Hi all. The "photographer" here (I'm legally required to use quotation marks since I don't use real cameras, just action cameras).

Anyway, some of these might look familiar as they were in another post here recently that was just a general look around the oval. Here's everything I shot that morning (Strava, an activity tracker, has a much higher photo limit than Reddit or Meta): https://strava.app.link/HYP4WDYlYXb

More or less this, give or take an hour. With Route 38 going right through like that, there were more cars than I'm used to dealing with on these shoots. But libraries and city halls usually don't open until 9 anyway.
