Is WWE wrestlemania revenge a stripped down house show?(no lights,pyro,entrance music)?

Ususally WWE house shows are a way to setup future angles or to show off to the fans.  Is more of a way to attract new fans to come to their televised shows and to go to venues that usually don't see a lot of the WWE live.  It's more to appreciate the fans who like to see the WWE but can't get to major arenas.

Credit: Gerweck.net\nLive from Cincinnati, Ohio:\n\nAfter a video highlight package, pyro goes off as Jim Ross welcomes us the Cyber Sunday. "The King" is voting at the broadcast desk. The Spanish announcers are introduced.\n\nMaria and Todd Grisham come out and stated that about 15 million votes have been cast on WWE's web site.\n\n(1) Umaga (with Armando Alejandro Estrada) vs. Kane. Kane wins the voting with 49% of the vote. Sandman received 28% and Benoit got 23%. (graphic said over 14,300,000 votes cast). Umaga did a headbutt off the ropes, which gained him the advantage. Not much off a wrestling match, as you'd imagine. Lots of punching and brawling. Umaga missed the Samoan Spike while the two brawled outside of the ring. Umaga blocked a chokeslam attempt with a rake to the eyes. Back suplex by Kane! Kane leaped off the top rope, but received a thumb by Umaga. Umaga wins via the Samoan Spike at 8:39.\n\nBackstage, Sharmell talked to Big Show. She said what matters tonight is for Booker and Big Show to retain their belts tonight. Big Show said she doesn't trust her or her husband, and tonight its every man for themselves. The Queen said he'll regret his decision.\n\n(2) Cryme Tyme vs. The Highlanders vs. Viscera and Charlie Haas vs. Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade. Maria and Todd reveal that fans voted for a "Texas Tornado" match with 50% of the vote. The Highlanders cleared the ring at one point, as the action is in and out of the ring. Cryme Tyme win a short match. After the match, they celebrate in the Raw booth and took Lawler's laptop.\n\nBackstage, HBK is shown voting on a laptop. Hunter comes in to try to convince him to vote for Bischoff. HBK flips out when Hunter said he's not controversial enough and superkicks a few employees in the hallway.\n\n(3) IC title match: Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito. Grisham and Maria reveal that fans picked Carlito with 62% over Benjamin and Johnny Nitro. Shelton got 25%, and Nitro only got 13%. The two slapped hands before the match started. Carlito went for the backslide for a quick victory, but Hardy kicked out. Fans are flat for this match, including some chants of boring could be heard. Carlito has done his best to mat wrestle Hardy, but the fans aren't into it at all. Carlito blocked the swanton with his knees, but Hardy was able to kick out of a pinfall attempt. The whisper in the wind only got Hardy a two count. Hardy wins via the swanton bomb at 13:22 to retain the IC title.\n\nThey ran a promo for the Hulk Hogan DVD Anthology.\n\nRoss and Lawler aired a video highlight package of the DX/Orton and Edge feud.\n\n(4) DX vs. Randy Orton and Edge (without Lita). DX did their best to pop the live crowd by pointing to one side of the ring and encouraging fans in that section to cheer. They stalled and stalled. Maria said she voted for Vince because she didn't want to get fired. Fans voted for Eric Bischoff to referee with 60% of the vote. Vince and Coach both got 20% each. Lita didn't come out with Edge, guess she's gearing up for her match later on. At least early on, Bischoff is calling it right down the middle. Hunter argued with Bischoff, but the former WCW boss screamed "I'm doing the best that I can." Edge missed a spear attempt on HBK and nailed Bischoff. Orton RKOs Hunter, but no referee. Referee Chad Patton runs in, but Triple H kicks out. Sweet chin music by HBK, HHH pins Orton, but Bischoff pulls out Patton. Edge nails HBK with a chair on the outside as Bichoff grinned. Orton hit Hunter with a chair in front of Bischoff, and then an RKO on the chair. Orton pinned Hunter at 18:12.\n\nMore "The Marine" hype aired.\n\nBackstage, Edge and Orton celebrated with Lita. Edge told Lita to go out there and take care of business. Grisham interviewed Edge and Orton and called their victory "tained." Edge said the new era in wrestling is rated RKO. Edge and Orton left together in a limo.\n\nThe divas

Finisher - Crippler Crossface\nEntrance - Mick Foley\nFavorite show - Currently ECW, has some good old school wrestlers. Saw ONS and it was so much better than any other ppv out there *besides wrestlmania* even though it is a light version of ecw.

LOVE IT! I would love to see it live. I've rented all of them at some point and currently watch the ppv ones. The rules have changed a lot thought. I remember when it was no fish hooking or eye gouging and that was it!

Sting aka Steve Borden has for years refused to be a part of the WWE and for good reason.  He is a born again Christian and does nto agre with what the McMahons do on live television on Raw.  Also he wants to make a show he can be proud of, and one that his young children can watch.  WWE is NOT any of those things.  \n\nI miss his colorful facepaint, blonde hair, and bright costumes of the 80s, however he has grown as a wrestler and as a person so much so that i believe the black and white is more fitting.\n\nThe Red face paint during WCW's Wolfpac was even better, however the Red face paint fell off even more than the white does.  \n\nThey should definitly ty somethin new on him or make him the mysterious character that WCW once did.  Showing up after turning the lights off, and attacking, being full of mystery, \n\nbasically TNA's answer to the Undertaker of the 80s and early 90s.

Did I like it? personally I didnt care, but I didn't care for too much as the reason behind it. Basically Goldust had a court date and didnt tell WWE management about it and went to the courthouse and missed a show. While he was in the wrong about not telling anybody about it, WWE was in the wrong for firing him over that. Same goes for releasing wrestlers because WWE Creative Team cant figure out what to do with them.

1. Not at all. I think I'm the only one who thinks it, but Big Show moving to ECW is a smart move. Stop and think about it. What was the last good story line that Big Show has had on WWE. In my opinion he hasn't had a good storyline since he fueded with Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle on Smackdown. The only good thing he has had on RAW is his short fued with HHH. This will give Big Show a fresh start.\n\n2. Yes. Tazz will be where he is at his best. Tazz was good on SD but he will be even better on ECW. Plus this will give someone else a chance to announce on SD. Maybe Josh or Todd can step up to the job.\n\n3. I gotta go with Mankind, and I'm talking about the old Mankind. The Mankind that would pull his hair out at the end of the match, the Mankind that had a boilerroon match with the Undertaker, the Mankind that won the very first buried alive match. This Mankind had the best persona was perfect.\n\n4. Thats a tough question. I gotta go with LOD. Any time I hear their enterance music I just go nuts. I think they really messed up the credability of the team though. First bringing them back as LOD 2000, then bringing in Droz to relplace Hawk, and then Bringing back Animal to team with Heidenrike. Yes this team only won the Tag Titles twice, but They were dominant in the 80's and 90's.\n\n5. The WWE is like the stock market. It keeps going up and down. Many will disagree, but the WWE was at its best in the late 80's and early 90's. This means that the WWE was best before Austin, Rock, and HHH. This was a time when the good guys were heros. Hulk Hogan told kids to listen to their parents, eat vitamins, and get plenty of sleep. AND KIDS STILL LOVED HIM. The attitude era gave the WWE better ratings, but, in my opinion, it set wrestling back. The integraty of true wresters were tossed away.

It's more extreme than WWE. Hardly any rules in that company.. It's all the ex-WCW/WWE wrestlers and a few backyard wrestlers,like Abyss, Christian from RAW is the champion now.\n It s on THURSDAY night at 10 (check your listing) on SPIKE !

Yes i went Last Monday to the MEN arena in Manchester and no it is not that hard to get tickets. You just go on E bay and search in the UK for WWE tickets. There are usually quite a lot up for sale. Next year the WWE are coming over and will be at Earls Court in London. Raw and ECW on Monday 23rd of April and Smackdown on Tuesday the 24th April. I paid £60 for my ticket and it is very much worth it. I would advise you to buy some if you get the chance. The events i mentioned are the 3 televised ones. The ECW and RAW are filmed on the same night but put on TV at different times. There will be other events around the country but they will just be exhibitions and not televised.

Yea  I think they are losing the creative edge.  The whole Wcw Vs. WWE confrontation should have lasted years!  YOu had so much talent and so many diferent characters and combonations coming together, it was a fans dream!  But so many people were let go nothing happened.  But of course there were a lot of people who refused to go back to work with Mr McMahon.\n\nthe Ecw/ Wcw Vs WWE was a great addition  and it continues today..  at least as far as ECW goes..  I am glad that ECW and WWE are somewhat intertwining their matches.\n\nNow WWE is talking with people from "Pride"  That is Japan's version of UFC or Ultimate fighting championships. I dont know..  When they had Ken Shamrock in thier roster.. I didnt like it.  Shamrock was one: being held back in terms of his skills, and two: his character was kinda lost in limbo.. They really didnt know what to do with him and he really didnt have much chemistry with the other wrestlers to perform a really good match.\n\nI liked the return of DX.  If they can somehow get the new age outlaws back  that would be awesome!  \n\nI love Eddie Guerrero, but let the man Rest in peace.  It's kinda sad that they keep bringing up his name in this way. I will never forget Eddie, and WWE has promised to always remember him.. but not to go into a "He didnt love you cause you're not a Geurrero" story line.  I think that is bad taste.\n\nIs WWE losing it?  Yea...  one more example...  Survior series..  COME ON...  your bringing out , Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Sgt Slaughter and ( it was Piper) now Ron Simmons?  Dont get me wrong, I love to see these guys get in there and whupp Spirit squad a new one, but I mean...  talk about re living your glory days. \n\nOn the last Raw, Dusty Rhodes got back in the ring to take on one of the Spirit squad and he performed like 5 or six moves .  Dusty was Sweating and out of breath!  I thought he was going to have a heart attack right on TV!\n\nYes, WWE is losing it.

* The WWF/E weren't too interested to begin with, and only took them in the deal to promote their album, as they did the entrance theme for The Oddities.  Not to mention they no-showed an ECW ppv, so Heyman would likely advise against McMahon ever hiring ICP for the ECW brand.\n\n* They wrestled one ROH show, and it was so poorly recieved by the fans that it was left off of the show DVD entirely.  Seveal Juggalos chanted "ICP", but the rest of the audience shouted the word "sh*t" over the "P", turning the chant into "I see sh*t".  This can be found on the ROH Uncensored DVD which showcases the worst moments in the history of Ring Of Honor.\n\n* TNA had a good run with them, and would likely be the only company who would bring them back, but with the direction they are headed, I wouldn't bet on them spending money on celebrities when they have limited funds to begin with.  It was a good decision back when they did the weekly ppv's before Spike TV, but for now, it just wouldn't be a good move.\n\nICP would have little trouble getting booked on the indy scene, at companies like CZW, Chikara, JAPW, IWA-MS and any of the remaining NWA territories, but Violent J tends to be fickle in his opinion of the wrestling business.  Sometimes, he loves it.  Sometimes, he can't stand it.  Shaggy is indifferent either way.\n\nAs for their company, JCW, it seemed to be a project that had ended.  They do have the honor on Volume 2 of having Chris Hero in a "who the f*** are these guys?" match.  Classic!\n\nThey may pop up sometime in the future.  J told me once that the greatest honor he has ever had in his career, music or otherwise, was wrestling at Madison Square Garden, so he does love the business.  The problem is that the business doens't seem to love him back.

well if you remember back to 12 mths ago there was this little PPV called ECW One Night Stand.  Well it is coming up again in June  and they need to build it up somehow so they are starting a feud between WWE & ECW again.  Pretty predictable really - well ok i admit i didn't see Mick Foley turning on Dreamer happening lol.  The WWE do surprise me once in a while but i do think the writers need to get off their lazy asses and ask some opinions of the fans for some original storylines.  I'm getting sick and tired of the same storylines being used every 2-3yrs like they think we won't remember.

i'd have heels win without cheating sometimes because it looks better that way. at least 1 special match for every television event. its sad how they barely have any more on ppvs and tv. how hard is it to do a last man standing match? Or I quit? its all planned out anyway so they wouldnt really be quitting or getting knocked out for realz

At the sites. House shows are shows that are not televised. Occasionally they will have small camera crews, depending on the venue and the proximity to a PPV, but that is only to get clips to use for vignettes when selling a story line. One word, though...if you do see one of these small camera crews, keep your eyes peeled because thats when things like unexpected title changes or new wrestlers or gimmicks are introduced. Ex: Batista's reemergence at a house show the other day. They do this so that say for example if Batista was rusty and missed a move, or didn't go over, they can make adjustments before putting him back on tv.

The card is looking superb and WWE need this at the moment. There is bound to be Taker vs Kennedy in a gimmick match (possibly casket or last man standing). I can't wait for team DX vs team Edge and Orton. I am still struggling to think what the last match could be.\n\nThe Legends match should be good fun and lets hope Booker vs Batista is better than there Summerslam match. It should be now Batista has had 5 months ring time since his injury as he was clearly a step behind at Summerslam.\n\nIt is great to see a card full of traditional survivor series matches, this is what survivor series is all about and will appeal to the hardcore wwe fans.
