Dash X Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 How are ROHs live iPPV streams these days? Thinking of ordering war of the worlds tonight. But remember when ordering a couple iPPVs from them in 2011 the stream was complete shite and out of sync audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Last weeks was very good. They are using ustream who New Japan and Dragon Gate (Japan) use for their own iPPV's. Edited May 17, 2014 by cobystag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Watching Invasion at the Gund Arena on the network earlier got me thinking what arena has hosted the most WWF/WWE PPVs? I imagine MSG is up there if not the most but just curious what arena has actually held the most  Richmond Coliseum has to be up there as well as the Staples Center  Richmond hosted Cold Day In Hell and Armageddon 2006 and that's it.  I thought the Meadowlands and Chicago would be up there. They've been "strongholds" of the WWF/E forever. Some figures for us, then, (mostly) via thehistoryofwwe and wiki (shows in spoiler tags for people that don't want a giant post taking up space) :  Rosemont/Allstate (Chicago) - 13 Madison Square Garden (NYC) - 10 Staples Center (LA) - 9 Joe Lewis Arena (Detroit) - 7 Meadowlands/Continental Airlines/Izod (East Rutherford, NJ) - 7 Baltimore Arena - 6  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler  Madison Square Garden (NYC) - 10 SummerSlam 1988 SummerSlam 1991 WrestleMania X Survivor Series 1996 SummerSlam 1998 Royal Rumble 2001 Survivor Series 2002 WrestleMania XX Royal Rumble 2008 Survivor Series 2011  Meadowlands/Continental Airlines/Izod (East Rutherford, NJ) - 7 SummerSlam 1989 SummerSlam 1997 King of the Ring 2001 No Mercy 2004 SummerSlam 2007 No Way Out 2012 Extreme Rules 2014  Baltimore Arena - 6 King of the Ring 1994 No Mercy 2003 No Way Out 2006 Backlash 2008 Extreme Rules 2010 TLC 2011  Joe Lewis Arena (Detroit) - 7 Survivor Series 1991 Survivor Series 1999 Vengeance 2002 Survivor Series 2005 Royal Rumble 2009 Over The Limit 2010 Night of Champions 2013  Staples Center (LA) - 9 Unforgiven 2002 Judgment Day 2004 WrestleMania XXI No Way Out 2007 SummerSlam 2009 SummerSlam 2010 SummerSlam 2011 SummerSlam 2012 SummerSlam 2013  Rosemont/Allstate (Chicago) - 13 The Wrestling Classic WrestleMania II Survivor Series 1989 WrestleMania XIII Judgment Day 1998 Backlash 2001 WrestleMania XXII No Mercy 2007 Judgment Day 2009 Night of Champions 2010 Money In The Bank 2011 Extreme Rules 2012 Payback 2013   [close spoiler] ");document.close(); So there you go. By numbers, the home of WWE on PPV is Chicago.  FYI, 2Xtreme, the Gund Arena held 4 PPVs - SummerSlam 96, No Mercy 99, Invasion and Survivors 04. I'm fairly sure Pink Shellsuit Man went to all four.

Bradyisgod22 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Alright lads, Â I remember reading about match finishes on here ages ago and there was one that I can still remember. It was from a British show I think and it was something along the lines of a Last Man Standing match and Wrestler A faked an injury but everyone brought it as legit so the match stopped, medical team came down etc then he jumped up after a few mins and hits a superkick on Wrestler B thus winning the match. Â Anyone have a clue what Im talking about and what show it was on? Cheers in advance lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted May 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2014 Steve Corino vs Al Snow at 1PW's first show in October 2005? Probably not - I seem to remember in that one they came back from Corino's fake injury to do a load of comedy based around WWE finishers, which kinda made a mockery of the fact they'd just done what seemed like 40 mins of a serious slow-burn contest and a boring fake injury. I have a friend who loved that bout, but I thought it was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradyisgod22 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Cheers for the help lads but I seem to recall it being two British wrestlers. Im not sure if it was a major event or match but I just remember thinking the finish sounded pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who loved that bout, but I thought it was shite. Â It's not the worst match I've ever seen, but it's in the bottom 5. It was simply interminable. At least half the match was spent wishing it was over. If memory serves, it was the last match before intermission, and me and my two accomplices were fucking shattered for the second half. It occurred to us that the wrestlers had lost their way and forgotten what they were doing, how long they had been out there, or what the finish was meant to be. One of the truest examples of "thank Christ that's over" in my 20 years of going to live rasslin' shows. Â It was certainly one of the contributing factors to the entire show running so long that the main event of Styles/Abyss didn't start 'til close to midnight and when the show finishes we were tired and in desperate need of food. We had decided to wait and get some food after the show from the "24 Hour" Asda near the Dome, but it was closed when we emerged. I'm guessing a "24 Hour" Asda only means 24 hours a week in Doncaster. Best of all on the drive back down the Midlands, my two navigators fell asleep so I somehow spent an undetermined length of time going round and round some one way system in Chesterfield (IIRC) and we got home about 4AM. Steve Corino, I blame you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
