Armageddon thread
 

Is anyone watching?

LOL. I find it funny how little hype there is for any PPV now a days. How much you wanna bet that WWE puts more than one PPV on during the month of Mania. Dumb fuckers.

Oh and no I'm not watching or anything...

Watching the Suvivor finale right now :y:

Watching Breaking Bonaduce. :y:

No. Maybe if they put out better PPV's I would.

Kane beat MVP.

Apparently the tag match is now a ladder match with MNM and the Hardys added.

So...are the Hardyz and MNM now officially back together? Cause every time they tag (basically every week) it's always supposed to be like "Oh this is a one time special thing!!! OMGz!" And yet, not so much.

I didn't even know there was a Tag bout...is it for the titles? MNM, Hardyz and Kendrick/London in a Ladder Match...well if this match sucks Aleinoid will probably shoot himself in the face.

Or write a 50 page post about how it's all going to lead up to London main eventing Mania...

For my money, Aleinoid has really fallen off lately. His angles use to be slightly entertaining, but lately, anytime he posts one of his 50 paragraph posts, but paragraph 2 or 3 the angle is fucking retarded.

Before anyone else makes the joke...

Vince: I think the first ever "Explosive Diarrhea" match went well, how about you MVP?
MVP: FOR FUCK SAKES MY ASS IS ON FIRE!

McMahon sure does love to focus on the ass.

holy fuck did Mercury ever get busted open. Awesome match btw

WTF??? Someone actually is watching/ordered/paid for WWE programming???

Hence my "Alienoid would be the man if he had a filter" philosophy.

According to Meltzer, the ladder match was incredible. London and Kendrick won. Mercury had to go to the hospital after getting his nose shattered.

It was amazing,

some really sick spots - what happened to mercury has to be seen to be believed, sick but it really made that match

Well that really fucks up tipsters.

Boogeyman beat Miz.

Good.

Mercury broke his fucking face

Benoit submits Chavo with the Sharpshooter.

Ah damnit i'm doing shit on tipsters tonight. Would like to see a pic of Mercury after that match though.

Same here on both counts. Just looked for a pic on wwe.com. couldn't find one.

LOL Blitz I did the same.

I kind of wish I ordered just to see the ladder match.

I could still order the replay as its on box office...

I normally order most PPVs. I specifically didn't order this one after the last three atrocious PPVs. Survivor Series was a waste of money. Cyber Sunday and ECW I got for free, but were still poor shows.

The only shows I'm willing to pay for in the next few months are Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. Not some shitty SmackDown PPV with the sort of main event we've been seeing on a weekly basis anyway. Have they already had that exact match?

Made me laugh on last weeks show when Batista said "Imagine that! The WWE Champion and the World Champion in the ring at the same time for the first time ever! Never been done before!"

Uh, yeah... apart from about 20 times on SmackDown and the main event of Cyber Sunday.

WWE is treating its fans with sheer contempt. I would suggest the fans, as consumers, should do the same. And not order a PPV which is an insult to most of our intelligence!

Still, having not bought it, I can't comment on the actual quality of the show so far.

Any good? Worth it?

The ladder match was sick

Great show thus far, as to be expected by SmackDown!. London & Kendrick didn't get a chance to do as much as they could have in the ladder match, in my opinion. I mean, the Sliced Bread #2 off the ladder would have been fucking fantastic had it gone perfectly (poor Brian didn't get to rotate...which is understandable off a fucking ladder), but I was hoping for a London Calling somewhere. I think it may have had something to do with the fans being majorly behind The Hardys as well. Good to see the WWE getting the young guys over, let's just hope they follow through. It seems people are getting really excited about the match, though, so that's good.

Let them cut a promo next week (seriously, these guys have talked like...never), and maybe have them team with Matt Hardy against William Regal, Dave Taylor and Joey Mercury (if he's OK). Fuck, put the WWE Cruiserweight Championship on Brian Kendrick, and the WWE United States Championship on Paul London. Give these cunts a push.

I'm still hoping we see an appearance by them in the Lingerie shit coming up. Just to see how the crowd reacts to them, or maybe have them sit down for commentary and hype Ashley's appearance in Playboy.

MVP: Fuck, now I gonna have to listen to a bunch of nerds on the internet make up gay captions about this

Whoever voted for Layla just might be retarded

Santa COPPED A FEEL

Jillian is hot

I think Mike Bucci is playing Santa Claus. :D

That guy should be doing commentary for the WWE, as well as his current job. The guy is so fucking awesome.

Jillian Hall is so fucking hot. The things I would do to her. :love:

That Maryse chick was way hotter

As is Ashley

Haha, great minds.

Most lackluster crowd Everrrr

Layla is annoying as fuck

Santa is slightly more annoying

BIG DICK JOHNSON

nice ass

<font color=white>From WWE.com:

According to WWE Dr. Ferdinand Rios, MNM tag team member Joey Mercury suffered what seems to be a broken nose in tonight's Ladder Match with London & Kendrick, MNM, the Hardys and William Regal & Dave Taylor.

Mercury was rushed to the hospital after one of the ladders smashed him in the face and caused his nose to pour blood. Rios said that without a CT scan it isn't possible to know the exact severity of the injury.

"I can't give a prognosis because Mercury could have shattered his frontal bone," said Rios. "Hopefully there isn't any problem in his brain; that blow was so significant there could be some damage and we just couldn't tell [without the CT scan}. But, he didn't seem to have a concussion and his mental status was excellent."

He said that without any complications, Mercury may need plastic surgery and two months to recover before returning to WWE action. WWE.com will continue to follow this story as it unfolds.</font>

That sucks for Mercury especially since he just came back

Hopefully this earns him some sympathy from the WWE. Ha! Like that will happen, but still...I wish Mercury the very best.

Well I was wrong, Santa was Big Dick Johnson, not Mike Bucci. I knew I recognised him.

Meh I 'm not surprised. The but a ladder match SECOND. No wonder the crowd died on them.

So, anyone want to say anything about the matches?

According to Metlzer the matches have been pretty good.

You wanted results though didn't you?

There ya go Dorkchop.

it's been a pretty good ppv

Sounds like that Mercury spot was truely sick. Might download this in the morning just for the ladder match. Why the fuck didn't they advertise it, I might genuinely have bought it just for that.

And Finally:
 

Mercury seriously got fucked up when that ladder hit, he was pissing blood in a second and his eye was swollen shut immediately after. Was a little pool of blood outside the ring after he fell out of it, kinda reminded me of the time zack gown kicked the chair into vinces head and blood started squirting from his head.

Inferno match :y:

Ladder Match :y:

Miz getting worms spit into his mouth (yes actually inside) :y:

Benoit match (8 germans in a row) :y:

Takers losing his hair :n:

Diva thing :n:

Oh, Undertaker, and your not putting guys over. When will you ever learn?

Sympathy from Vince: "WWE has come to terms with the release of Joey Mercury. We wish him the best in his future endeavors."

(BACKSTAGE AFTER ARMAGGEDDON... Mercury is laid out on a stretcher, getting his eye taped up, with Nitro and Melina at his side, when a rabid Vince McMahon power walks up and SHOVES the EMT out of the way.)

VINCE: You son of a bitch! You're FIIIIIRRED!

MERCURY: Uh..... huh...?

NITRO: You're firing him?! Why?!

VINCE: NOBODY CALLS THEIR OWN SPOTS IN MY SHOW! You bastards think you can just throw in a blade job in the middle of the match without letting anyone know about it? HUH!? DO YA?!

NITRO: Vince, Joey's really hurt. That wasn't planned out. Just ask Jeff.

VINCE: "Just ask Jeff." You're walking on thin ice, you fuck.

My dad hates Kendrick and London for no apparent reason

Taker gave just as much as he took from Kennedy in the match. The way it was laid out it could have gone either way. I thought Kennedy looked good in the match.

Well that's good, but still, Taker doesn't need the win. It's not like it's 15 years ago. Taker doesn't need to "win" in every single feud he's in anymore. For the character, he should win most, but at least let someone win the feud.

His eye looks pretty fucked up.

Ew.

That's not regular swelling. it's a huge blood blister and it needs to get drained.

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/9...urynoseho2.jpg

That's not a good look for him. Oww...

Seriously fighting the urge to caption this and say "He really shouldn't have called Finlay a Fighting Irish Bastard to his face."

:shifty:

Wait, whatta ya mean Taker lost his hair?

I thought Armageddon was ok for a smackdown PPV. The ladder match was cool, but boy did Mercury fuck up. Both Nitro and Mercury had there heads down when Jeff jumped onto the ladder, Nitro got out of the way but Mercury just stayed there and got hit. He fell, and looked straight up at Matt and said "i broke my nose", Matt looked really shocked. But I think I know why the ladder match was a suprise, prob Vince's way of saying "FUCK YOU! Told you to order it!!!!!!!!". The Undertaker vs Kennedy match was ok until Taker fell of the entrance building, made the match look real cheap when he landed on a king size bed...with Micheal Cole saying "Thats concrete!!!! Thats concrete!!!!" was just gay. Apart from Benoit and Chavo, the actual wrestling was shocking, even the main event...John Cena looks tired and Batista wasnt himself. Like I said, it was a good gimmick match PPV, but the ladder match alone was worth the money....but thats not the point, I ordered a hole PPV. At least it was 3 hours

Few second Youtube clip of it...

Man. I would have watched this PPV if the station worked for me, but it didnt -.-

Dammit.



http://youtube.com/watch?v=O4ImLo6Lz...elated&search=

Bigger clip! This shows how it was done, looks like it was off a Mobile phone camera or something

I think it would help if the WWE gave each guy a personality. Not just "young weird guy #1" and "young weird guy #2". Give them their own WWE.com exclusive, or something, and have them parody Wayne's World, or just report the on-goings in sports entertainment in the week.

These guys are money in the sense that Edge & Christian were money, they are just a damn good tag team, that can provide us with some great memories.

<font color=white>Does he like the Undertaker?</font>

He didn't actually lose his hair but last night he kept moving it back out of the way, when he did there was some pretty noticable bald patches appearing underneath. :(

Holy FUCK, just saw the YouTube video and Christ that looked nasty. Mercury's going to need reconstructive surgery after that, I wonder how long he'll be out...

FUCK, that had to hurt.

That was absolutly sick.

So do I.

Well the ladder match sounds like it was awesome. Too bad they didnt announce a match of that magnitude prior to the PPV to get more buys. Seriously, what a bunch of morons.

LOL, yeah, this is WWE logic:

Advertise an event (December to Dismember) and then pull one match and switch out someone people actually want to see in the main event that night on the PPV itself.

Advertise an event with sub-par matches and then at the PPV itself add two teams to one of the matches that really no one gave a fuck about and make it a Ladder Match.

That looks nothing like Mercury. And not because he's missing half his face

Looks more like Samoa Joe...

Nah it was actually pretty smart. Buy doing this (and more things like this in the future,) people might just start to get the feeling they HAVE to order all PPVs because they don't know what they will miss. Strange the WWE would steal some of ECW's old ideas after totally depriving the brand itself of any of them. But still, it's a great way to run your shows. Hype they key players, but reinforce that "anything can happen in the WWE."

But no, in no way is this morinic. They're laying down ground work for fututre PPV buys.

Damn man, that's brutal.

I guess after the disaster that was December to Dismember, WWE tried to redeem themselves with Armageddon, and I think they did. Inferno match was alright. The impromtu ladder match was really making up for the last ppv. One hell of a job by all men in the match. I actually called for a Kendrick Sliced Bread off the ladder, but he couldn't quite pull it off. And Mercury's ladder shot was really sick. I was at Buffalo Wild Wings watching, and almost everyone was yelling after that shot.

The rest of the ppv seemed pretty solid for a SD ppv. So I would say it was not a bad show at all.

They did a simliar thing at the No Mercy ppv with Benoit's suprise return. It's a good idea to try to get some unpredictability back, and in fact when I heard about the ladder match, I regretted not ordering the show.

You hit the nail on the head. The way the WWE did it, it was a gift for those in attendance, and those who ordered the event.

If they do surprise stuff at other PPVs, I can actually see myself ordering RAW events. Woah!

Doesn't it just seem odd that they didn't have the ladder match at the ECW ppv? Would've been more fitting.
