    Any Pro Wressie Pressies coming anyones way? :P

    What are you planning to get, watch or play?

    Tonight it is post pub ROH Final Battle which is I think on at 12.30am.

    Bought the Austin and Randy Orton Blu Rays to treat myself to watch on the new 3DTV.

    I also plan to watch the PWG and Chikara DVDs I have and the mountain of Puro I need to watch so I can get involved in end of year discussions.

    I need to get back on the horse with WWE '12 after givng up due to work and the Elimination Chamber match in story mode.

    Very much hyped for the New Year's Eve Eve Brock if that counts too. ;)

    Myself and a few friends have plans to have a wrestling gaming marathon, playing every game we have across a number of consoles. Xbox, Gamecube, PS2 and PS1 all included :D Should be good craic.

    Will hopefully get a chance to watch Wrestling with Shadows for the first time and I think the Rise and Fall of ECW is due an airing too. Will give The Backyard a go too for the lulz.

    I thought Final Battle was about 12.30am no? Starts at 7.30pm in New York?

    Gonna watch the Austin DVD St Stephens Day. Catch up on some ROH, and thats about it for me. Might dig up some classic Danielson matches as well.

    Are you an ROH Ringside member, gimmick? Re: the Danielson matches?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I've got the Bret/HBK dvd and the MITB DVD coming that I know of. Probably be a few other little things as well, present wise.

    My ROH TV marathon is imminent. I also have a Sting compilation I've been meaning to get through that I'll probably at least start in the next couple of days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Oh I forgot that I've got a compilation of the whole ROH vs CZW angle which I can't wait to get through! 10 discs :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    I'm crocked with a flu now and sound a LOT like John Laurinaitis suppose thats Wrestling Related. I'll be Watching the Hbk vs Bret dvd and finishing Jericho's book braving on when he talks about Fozzy recording a album.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,081 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Think I'll get that ROH stream tonight.

    The missus is trying to get me to write a PW movie over christmas. Used to write a lot (did media production etc) but now i cant find anything to write about and she is suggesting that since in my explanation about why I watch wrestling I mentioned the potential it has that is rarely fulfilled and equated it to a soap opera more aimed at men, she says I should I should write what I think it could be.

    nothing ive written has ever been made into more than a play but it could be fun for a laugh.

    Apart from that gift id have to give myself I dont expect anything PW related as nobody ive met over here has ever even mentioned wrestling to me.

    I *think* my girl has got me the CM Punk Best In The World shirt, so shall be wearing that, while drinking beer (ironic?!?!), and watching 50 greatest OMG moments / Greatest Superstars OfnThe 21st Century / Bret vs Shawn on Blu Ray... Might squeeze in an old WWE 12 session in there somewhere too:D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Anyone getting anything epic or ridiculous merchandise wise?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab

    Good dvd and I hope the Zack Ryder pack includes pants. That'd be quite a awkward call from the inlaws otherwise. Looking at the Wrestling stuff in the shops I wish I was a kid again.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    I am SO sad MITB didnt get a Blu Ray release. Lucky I kept it on my Skybox!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    Got MITB downloaded in HD as it is, so I'm good. :D

    Recieving the Stone Cold documentary and matches on BluRay from Santa. Thats it really. Have WWE '12 as it is and having great craic with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,391 ✭✭✭D2D


    Making my way through al my blu-ray PPV's over Christmas. In the middle of Elimination Chamber 2011 atm so I'll do Mania tomorrow. Have Austin's doc, Ladder Match 2 and Bret/HBK to get through as well!

    Merry Christmas!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I treated myself to WWE 12 so I'll be getting stuck in to that for sure. Also my folks still have a functioning VHS player:D, so I was thinking I might watch a few of my old tapes, I've loads of old PPVs recorded from the early part of the century that I haven't watched in ages.

    Yes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,888 ✭✭✭Charisteas


    Didn't watch any wrestling over Christmas, watching Raw this morning was the first wrestling i've watched in two weeks, and got 2 impacts to catch up on.

    I did however get a Hulk Hogan NJPW action figure for Christmas :D

    I don't collect them but it's the thought that counts I suppose!

    Any of you guys get any cool wrestling merchandise for xmas?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    I have achieved almost nothing of what I said I would.

    Watched 1 Danielson match Vs Aries (countdown tour) and am 1 hour into the Austin DVD.
