The Smackdown was the first UK Smackdown in '04 up in Manchester, me and my mate went up on National Express coach, and on the morning we came back he won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockospice Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Scotland needs to get a television taping when The Hydro arena opens. The main reason they have never done TV in Scotland is the Braehead Arena only holds 4000 for a WWE house show so would not be viable business in WWE's eyes for them to do so. The Hydro is a 13,000 seater venue so take away 1000 seats for the production set up for TV and you know it will sell out 12,000 no problem. Â Â Is there a Hilton near the Hydro? Â And will the Hydro have a barclaycard bar to relax in before the show? Â I've been to most (all? I lose track) of the UK tapings, they've been good fun. Edge's goodbye after the Smackdown taping at the O2 was a highlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Was special to witness Taker's entrance live though, seeing as he wasn't advertised. It was a dark segment, he came down and battered Heidenreich (wasn't a proper match like the results in the first post say). Â It was a match. The bell rang, there was a three count. What else does it need? Â I've been to most the shows. I love going to the ones in London, but I've really enjoyed going to Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Gives me a good reason to have a few days away somewhere fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm29195 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The first TV Taping I went to was the first one at MEN RAW October 2004 - I don't think I've seen/heard such a crowd reaction since for Regal in his tag match with Eugene again La Resistance - shame about the Dusty Finish, which kind of took the wind out of the crowd for the rest of the evening...

Â Â The deal with The Hydro is it is sponsored by the Scottish Hydro energy company so it gives perks to its customers that use the arena when it opens such as priority tickets and will have early entry and VIP bar. Alas I'm not a customer of theirs so I won't be able to take advantage of those perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 I went to the first Raw in Manchester, and the only thing I remember is being scared out of my wits for the pyro when Kane made his entrance. Â Also went to a few years later and sulked all the way home cos Piper was 'injured' on the ramp and I never got to see him actually wrestle.

MinceMcMahon Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I went to the first Raw taping in Manchester. I don't really remember much of the show (apart from the main event) but it journey up there was memorable. We skipped the day off school, got drunk on the train and my mate got into a fight with a tramp. It was like a shit Inbetweeners episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Stephens Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Only taping I have been to is the RAW taping in 2008 at the o2 arena. Great show, Womens belt changed hands, jericho vs umaga and hhh vs jbl. Plus Regal faced Orton in a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
