Last year, I did reviews of the first six WrestleMania events as part of WrestleMania week. I complained a lot after that week about how bad WrestleMania V was. This year, I’m picking up where I left off, with WrestleMania VII – and the best part about it is, I don’t have to buy the individual events, I can just pull them up on the WWE Network! So, without further adieu, I review WrestleMania VII – Superstars and Stripes Forever!
The “Perfect” piece of art for this week’s show.
Jorge and Mark take the day off, leaving Joe, G, and JT to fend for themselves. Luckily, a few friends dropped by as Andrew J Reimers returned to the show, bringing along his band, to perform the West Texas Rednecks’ WCW hit “Rap Is Crap,” and artist Rob Schamberger dropped in to talk about his upcoming live painting as part of WrestleMania Axxess next weekend in New Orleans. We ask Rob about his favorite pieces he’s done, pieces he’s looking forward to doing the most, and much, much more. Find out the surprising World Champion that owns his own likeness from Rob’s Champions Collection.
In the news, we talk about the whereabouts of Rob Van Dam and Sting. We get some thoughts on The Ultimate Warrior’s Hall of Fame induction. We find out what’s going on with Sin Cara – both of them. DISH Network cracks and offers WrestleMania to it’s subscribers. Plus, find out how much Mick Foley raised for charity with his most recent raffle, which our guest Rob Schamberger had a part of. All this and more on the latest episode of BWF Radio! Tune in!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in New York today to be on one of my favorite TV shows! That’s right, he’s a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie, Sabotage. And he’s also on some other show filming live from New York tonight – Brooklyn to be more precise. He’s one of the guest hosts of Monday Night RAW! But we’ll get there in a little bit. Some other stuff happens first. What kind of stuff? I guess you’ll have to read on!
I watched 2 hours of this show and still have no idea what happened, so I’ll start over and post my findings here. Go ahead, click the “Read More” link. You know you want to.
Let me tell you right now that the first hour of this show pretty much dragged. That said, I’m going to be really skimming through it this week. The second hour was actually pretty good, and the start of hour three? Well, you’ll see when we get there. So, let’s go!
I watch the first two hours at home, drive to work, then have to watch the entire show again because I forgot what happened and didn’t have the foresight to review it live. It’s irrelevant anyway – you’re more interested in Gregory Iron being our special guest on this Sunday’s BWF Radio.
Here we go again. Another Monday, another RAW that I have to leave for work in the middle of a great segment involving Daniel Bryan. But we’ll get to that later. There’s other stuff that happened first. Let’s see how much I can remember and how much I actually have to re-watch. Which might be a lot since I had in-laws over while RAW was on. Let’s go!
I watch RAW. I press “enter” to add line breaks, and they mysteriously vanish by time I read the review on BWF Radio. Meanwhile, I make no money doing this, and I’m flat broke until payday. If only I could come up with a way to generate some money…
Why would anybody want one of those old TVs?
Jorge returns, JT leaves early, and the whole crew talk about Gary Barnidge and DeAngelo Williams’ WrestleMania 30 scavenger hunt. They skew off onto a number of topics including the new video game South Park: The Stick of Truth. The problems with the WWE Network are mentioned, we skim over the week in wrestling, give a nod to the LockDown card, and spoil NXT for G. In the news, you won’t believe what Buff Bagwell is doing for money these days. That and a lot more news. Tune in!

This week’s break songs were “Where Eagles Dare” by The Misfits (Buy It Here) and “Please Play This Song On The Radio” by NOFX (Buy It Here)
That Damn Double C’s Dallas Stars beat my Sabres and ended their winning streak tonight. But that’s hockey talk. You’re here for wrestling. You guys want to know what happened on Monday Night RAW. Did CM Punk show up? The hell if I know. I’m still waiting to get RAW to review for you. I watched most of the show, and I actually didn’t want to leave when I had to because there was a good segment going on. So, let’s see what I can do from memory before I actually get a copy of the show. I watch until I have to leave. Then I forget what happened and have to relay it to you as I watch it again. So yes, I suffer through most of this show TWICE for you. You’re welcome. Now go run along to the SmackDown review and tell G how great he is. (more…)
