While I doubt all sports bars are quite as bad as the one I depicted, this is a pretty accurate look at the one I used to go to for all WWE related events. Well, to be completely accurate I’d need another panel to show the “normal” guy explaining what “Little Jimmy” means… and failing.
While this year’s Royal Rumble commercial is classy, nothing will ever come close to beating 2005′s. They could just reshoot that same concept with new wrestlers every year and I’d never get tired of it.
Last time I mentioned wrestling in a public place I got into an argument with an old man who kept telling people that John Cena had died six months ago. When I told him that I’d seen him live maybe three months ago, he called me a stupid woman and that I didn’t understand wrestling.
This is why I watch everything in the safety of my own home. Because sexism. And people trying to tell me that it’s fake.
Some random guy I ran into once tried to tell me Doink the Clown had died. I tried to explain that there were multiple Doinks, and that Matt Borne was still very much alive, the Brooklyn Brawler has made a few recent appearances, Eugene still works OVW, and I personally know Dusty Wolfe (kind of, he works at my college’s English lab.) I had to Wikipedia search Doink to find out where Steve Keirn was.
I still think I went through too much trouble to win an argument with a random dude on the street.
Was this during one of Cena’s injuries or something? I find it hard to believe you couldn’t just turn on any random WWE program and see Cena’s very much alive face everywhere.
Oh no, this guy ‘knew’ that they recorded it six months in advance.
I live in Australia, and we were always a month or two behind in the 90s. Now it’s maybe a day or two delayed, or in the case of Smackdown the day before.
I still feel that the only thing worse than discussing pro wrestling with non-fans is discussing it with ACTUAL fans.
^ this !
D-Bry would fit right in to the RR 05 advert
ha ha ha OMG daniel bryan can fit in anything ever ! he’s truly the most useful guy in the wwe !!
It’d be more like people telling you “change the channel”, “this shit’s fake”, “this shit’s gay”, “where’s the Undertaker?”, etcetera.
Exactly! Lol
Yea, I was thrown off when I seen the commercial like, “Where in the HELL do they live!?”
So true.
And also, John Cena “Tee Hee” FTW!
First, you need to find a bar that shows WWE PPVs. There’s Hooters, but people tend to skip that place, as much as others might gravitate to it. Around here, there’s maybe one Hooters (out of a few) that shows it, and the Buffalo Wild Wings half an hour away apparently stopped.
Speaking of discussing pro wrestling, looking forward to Hornsby being on BWF Radio again this Sunday! #CheapPlug
Chris Benoit is in the 2005 commercial. They’ll never do anything even remotely similar and they disavow and knowledge of or involvement in that original commercial.
I’m pretty sure the Royal Rumble is going to go down one of three ways. Cena will be in the final two or three and will “shockingly” be thrown over the top rope by someone boring, like the past few years winners, OR Cena is going to win and face Rock at Mania, ruining the once in a lifetime match they had last year. WWE’s reasoning being “but it’s different, this time it’s for the title!!11!!!!” OR we’ll end up with Punk/Cena 12343546454545423 SMH
F*CKING EXACTLY !!!
Called it!
I used to go with friends to Hooters for the big shows back in the day, because we figured it would save a lot of time and energy as we didn’t have to prep food nor cook.
It was pretty much the same experience. Because we were watching the PPV, they were VERY slow in delivering our food. One such experience was when I went there for Summerslam 2005 with my late fiancée Rachel and a couple of our mutual friends.
We ordered some wings, drinks, and potato skins for appetizer and burgers for dinner. Forty-five minutes came and went with no food and only the drinks and after hassling the waitresses, Rachel gets up and goes toward the food serving area. She’s was an Italian-Irish mix, so she had a nice temper. She marched over and screamed out “Hey bitch! Are you getting a blow job back there?! GET US OUR FUCKING FOOD!”
Within five minutes, we had our food and it was comped as the manager overheard her and wanted to see what was up. Needless to say, we were searching our food to see if someone spit in it.
I tell you. It’s been six and a half years since I lost her and I miss her every day.
rachel FTW !!!
That shits fake
Jesus I never knew
Wish I could Dr. D. anyone would says this
Sports bar, maybe.
But I dunno, the local Hooters was pretty much that Rumble commercial for Wrestlemania 27. They even turned off the lights for Undertaker’s entrance.
