Drowned In Sound Grapple Club [Wrestling-Centric]

Social
1

HI ALL

So in case you haven’t noticed the Rolling Wrestling thread has been a hive of activity today and that’s partly because we’ve started a weekly wrestling watching book club type thingy called DiS Grapple Club [name in progress]

Essentially we need to keep it separate from the general wrestling thread otherwise it’d be an ungodly mess.

Right here are here are current DiS Wrestling Viewing Club (name in progress) plans>

WWF Canadian Stampede 1997 → 12th December

@Severed799 Wrestling Time Line [Post Invasion/Smackdown 6]
[maybe delayed by a week or two, if so these will be replaced by other random ppv’s chosen BY YOU! The fine people of DrownedInSound]

Vengeance 2001 → 19th December
Royal Rumble 2002 → 26th December
No Way Out 2002 → 2nd January
Wrestlemania 18 → 9th January
Backlash 2002 → 16th January
Insrrextion UK 2002 → 23rd January
Judgement Day 2002 → 30th January
King Of The Ring 2002 → 6th Feb
Vengance 2002 → 13th Feb
Summerslam 2002 → 20th Feb

Please feel free to submit arcs you fancy watching closer to the time, then we will have a vote to chose the next one. They can be as short or as long as you like (as they’ll be subject to votes as opposed to me drawing one out of a hat)

Wait - A PPV with only 5 matches? This doesn’t feel right to me.

10

technically just 4, the first one is on the pre-show

11

Back when they did in your house shows which were only 2hrs lomg

12

but anyway a lot of royal rumble ppvs are 4/5 matches max

13

Suggestion: do we really need to do the UK shows? They’re pretty much always inconsequential (although I’ve spotted a HILARIOUS tag match at one of them)

14

Yeah, but that’s because the rumble takes about an hour and a half, innit (or two hours if Undertaker is one of the first two in)

15

yeah well, same thing for the main event here

yeah well it’s on around the same time as Stampede, which is a major yearly event in Calgary so it was part of the build/event

Vince really does hate WWE’s fans, doesn’t he :slight_smile:
