  1. Dear WWE (or, “Why New York City can go fuck itself”)

    Dear WWE,

    Thank you for finally bringing WrestleMania back to the Northeast.  It’s been 9 long years.  I appreciate the fact that I can actually realistically hope to go to WrestleMania next year without spending too much on traveling to the host city.  That said, however, I’m a little bit baffled at your choice of stadium.  We’re all impressed with the new state-of-the-art Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, which is of course home to the New York Jets, and Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, but perhaps that level of impressiveness has proven to be deceitful.  You see, for years I had assumed that Buffalo would never get a WrestleMania for the sheer fact that we have an outdoor stadium in a place where, even on April 7th, the weather isn’t all that great.  Apparently, I was mistaken.

    I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that New York State is more than just that little island there right off the coast of New Jersey.  I can see how you would get confused, however, since our own state capital, Albany, apparently doesn’t know that either. My complaint isn’t that you’re bringing WrestleMania back home to the New York City area, it’s that you’re doing it in an outdoor venue in a cold-weather climate, and that I’m sure Buffalo wasn’t even a consideration.  You guys are here twice a year, let’s face it, you know just as well as we do that Buffalo’s economy could certainly use the $62 Million boost more than New York City and East Rutherford.

    We’ve got passionate wrestling fans here.  We sell out every Pay Per View you bring our way.  And we do big events right.  Just ask the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were here as part of the NHL’s first ever Winter Classic.  If you are unfamiliar with the NHL, that’s the National Hockey League.  You know, the sport The Goon played.  I know you just did a huge press conference for WrestleMania XXIX in Jersey, and they can have it, that’s fine, but if it goes off without a hitch, I highly ask that you please consider bringing WrestleMania to Buffalo.  We could use the economic boost much more than the cities you’ve been bringing WrestleMania to lately, and our fans would make sure you didn’t regret the decision for a moment.

    Thanks,

    With experiencing both an earthquake and Irene’s wrath in the same week, it’s amazing to see how one can deal with things granted i only felt about 20 seconds of the earthquake and were getting the end of Irene but still it counts doesn’t it.  While those weren’t the only things going on, let me take a look at some other things that went on during the week: (more…)

    I’m sure you guys may have noticed that, aside from my usual Sunday afternoon post, yours truly has been absent from BWF this week. Truth be told, I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with New York State over boring, non wrestling related stuff for the past two weeks, and I’ve just been burnt out. I’ve not only taken a few days away from BWF, I haven’t even watched ECW this week, nor have I watched the last 30 minutes of RAW.  I promise you a SmackDown review this week, which will either be posted before the show even airs in the US, or sometime this weekend.

    Anyways, while I’ve been slacking around here, a new columnist (who still owes me for the window he broke when he hurled that brick with the mysterious note attached last week) made his debut.  Legend Killer is a wrestling fan from Australia who will grace us with his presense every Wednesday with his new column.  As far as I know, he is not Nathan Jones.  Though how awesome would that be?  We could ask him questions like, “how does it feel to see that the fact that you were technically The Undertaker’s tag team partner at WrestleMania XIX be completely ignored?”

    There’s yet another new skin available for BWF.  It’s an nWo inspired theme called “Back In Black.”  Not only is the name also the title of an awesome song by AC/DC, it’s also the title of the WWE released nWo DVD back in 2002.

    Finally, starting next Monday, it’s WrestleMania 25 week here at BoredWrestlingFan.  There will be a new WrestleMania themed article every day starting Monday and leading right through the event on Sunday.  Drowgoddess will be checking in with reports of the festivities around Houston leading up to the event as well.
