This is Wrestlemania 3, let’s get it on!

Opening Promo

This arena is absolutely massive, the Pontiac Silverdome brother. Vince welcomes everyone to the event, Miss Aretha Franklin sings America The Beautiful, she has just passed at the time of writing this review. WWE did a nice tribute to The Queen Of Soul and she kills it as only she can, may her soul rest in piece. Lots of imagery of Americans in action, serving their great country. I was never one for the patriotism pageantry but it could be effective in certain situations, the September 9/11 episode of Smackdown being a highlight or the tribute to the troops production packages. Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura along with our celebrity guests talk about the card.

The Can-Am Connection vs Don Muraco & Cowboy Bob Orton W/ Mr. Fuji

Tom Zenk and Rick Martel take on Bob Orton and Magnificent Muraco in the opening match, not my idea of a hot opening match. Muraco and Zenk are in the ring, Muraco shakes off Zenk. Side headlock by Zenk, shoulder block by Zenk. Muraco is not happy, Muraco brings Zenk to the corner. Zenk is whipped to the corner, leapfrog and hiptosses by Zenk.

Crossbody for the win, The Can-Am Connection win the match.

It was fine, Muraco and Orton had been two of my favourite performers in the WWF in the reviews that I have done this far, seems they were just whipping boys in this match, Martel and Zenk seem to be the new team on the block but it was average at best.

Winners: The Can-Am Conncetion Over Muraco & Orton via Crossbody!

Billy Jack Haynes vs Hercules Hernandez W/ Bobby Heenan

These two do not like one another at all, Haynes had been attacked by Hercules to set up this match. They start with lock-ups, Haynes has Hercules in the corner. Knees by Hercules, knee lift downs Haynes. Hercules eats a clothesline and scrambles to survive a full-nelson attempt. Hercules eats chops and right hands, Irish whip to the corner and Hercules comes flying out with a clothesline. Stomps by Hercules, back drop by Hercules. Hard Irish whip to the corner, multiple times.

Suplex from Hercules, two count with Hercules picking up Haynes to stop the count. Haynes battles from underneath, suplex fails as Haynes’ back is too damaged to lift Hercules. Hercules nails a backbreaker, military press slam as Hercules calls for the finish. Hercules applies a Full-Nelson, Haynes is fading and is down to a knee. Haynes survives, Haynes breaks free. Hercules pummels Haynes but both men clothesline one another. Inverted atomic drop by Haynes, clothesline by Haynes. Make it another, leg drop. Middle rope fist drop and Haynes applies a Full-Nelson. They fight on the floor and both men are counted out.

Not the memorable start to the show you would expect, not sure why Haynes did not get the win, Haynes broke the hold and it would have made sense for Haynes to have his redemption but apparently, it was not meant to be, the work was ok, the crowd came alive for Haynes when he escaped the hold but this was disappointing. Hercules smashes Haynes after the match with his chain, Haynes is bleeding everywhere.

Double Count-Out!

Hillbilly Jim/Little Beaver/The Haiti Kid vs King Kong Bundy/Little Tokyo/Lord Littlebrook

Well, it is different. Bundy and Jim surrounded by midgets three matches into the card of the most important pay per view at the time. We have a criss-cross, Haiti Kid and Beaver take down Littlebrook and Tokyo. Beaver has Tokyo, side headlock by Tokyo. Tokyo tags Littlebrook, they tie-up with a clean break. They stumble along before Bundy comes into the ring, Beaver stands his ground. Tag to Jim, Jim clotheslines Bundy. Elbow drop but Bundy kicks out, Bundy is slapped by Beaver. Bundy smacks Jim around, Avalanche by Bundy. Beaver is caught by Bundy, slam by Bundy. Elbow drop and I think Beaver is dead, Bundy cannot attack midgets, we have a DQ.

Well, this is absurd now. Not even fun comedy, three matches into Wrestlemania 3 and this show is awful what is going on here? Surely, this pay per view has been greatly embellished because this is madness!

Winners: Team Jim over Team Bundy via DQ!

Hardly a match, Race was sent to the floor at least seven times, no real story with JYD getting distracted by Heenan for the finish, it went about four minutes and I think I am already sick of this show. Afterwards, JYD bows to the king and smacks Race with a chair.

Winner: Harley Race over Junkyard Dog via Belly To Belly Suplex!

The Rougeau Brothers vs The Dream Team W/ Dino Bravo & Johnny Valiant

Valentine and Beefcake lost their tag team championships to The British Bulldogs and have been on the decline since, this is a chance to bounce back though.

Tag to Valentine, axe handle and backbreaker combination. Figure Four, Jacques survives. Jacques reverses a piledriver, Raymond is in the match. Sleeper, Beefcake smacks Valentine by mistake. The Rougeau Brothers hit their finish but Dino Bravo smacks Jacques which leads to The Dream Team winning. DUD!

Winners: The Dream Team over The Rougeau Brothers via Sneak Attack!

Adorable Adrian Adonis W/ Jimmy Hart vs Rowdy Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper was thinking of retiring after this match so what better thing to do for Piper than turn him babyface and put him against one of the most obnoxious heels on the roster. Adonis stole everything from Piper which leads us to this match, Piper whips Adonis to start the match. Jimmy Hart is choked too, Adonis has the belt. Piper is whipped now, Piper reverses and throws Hart onto Adonis.

Piper knocks down Hart, Adonis smacks himself in the face with the clippers, Sleeper from Piper and Piper wins his final match. Adonis is shaved, all is well with the world.

Finally, a match you can sink your teeth into, this is brilliant. Piper is attacked by Adonis and Hart throughout the match, they tease count-outs and Adonis beating Piper masterfully. Crowd is molten lava for anything that Piper does, it would be a fitting farewell for one of the most hated heels of all-time transitioning into the realm of Hollywood, thank you Piper for doing wonderful things in that ring and saving this show in my eyes.

Winner: Roddy Piper over Adrian Adonis via Sleeper!

The Hart Foundation & Dangerous Danny Davis W/Jimmy Hart vs The British Bulldogs & Tito Santana

Davis had been a screwy referee throughout his WWF tenure which led to The Hart Foundation stealing the championships from The British Bulldogs, Davis is going to get what has been coming for a long time, Santana and Bret start off.

Neidhart stops the figure four, Davey Boy clotheslines Davis. Tombstone Piledriver on Davis, suplex and Running Powerslam. Neidhart saves Davis, the match breaks down but in the madness, Davis smashes Davey Boy with a megaphone for the win.

This was a lot of fun, you had some great selling from Dynamite Kid, The Hart Foundation were great when they isolated Dynamite Kid. Davis was fantastic, a slimy overconfident fool who would nail a kick or two before ultimately, taking the ass-kicking of a lifetime from one fiery red-hot Tito Santana, the card has picked up, some really good things coming from this show now.

Winners: Team Davis over Team Santana Via Megaphone Attack!

Rights and lefts by Koko, dropkick for two. Small package by Koko for two, crossbody but Reed rolls through with a handful of tights for the win.

Reed gets the win in a match that is nothing special, Reed does not look great coming out of the match and Koko does not comes out looking any worse. The match was just there but at least it had a finish compared to the earlier portions of the card. I just wonder what they really wanted to accomplish with this match.

Winner: Butch Reed over Koko B Ware Via Handful Of Tights!

(WWF World Heavyweight Championship Match) Hulk Hogan © vs Andre The Giant

This is thee match, the match of all matches. Andre was undefeated for fifteen years, untouchable and the WWF congratulated Andre with a trophy. Hogan was also congratulated by the WWF for a four-year reign as WWF Champion. Andre was bitter and Heenan manipulated Andre which leads us to this match, Hogan was broken by the betrayal of his best friend Andre The Giant, Hogan was the man in the WWF but could he defeat Andre The Giant? This was massive, it feels massive. It has the atmosphere, this is the money match.

Such an important match, I thought they told a very entertaining story with Andre being undefeated, Andre being damn near unstoppable and Hogan not being able to do a thing to Andre. Through grit determination and courage, Hogan manages to thwart Andre, time after time Hogan comes back and then, the slam. A moment that lives in history, sure Andre had been slammed by the likes of Stan Hansen and Hogan himself but not in the WWF, Andre was seldom knocked off his feet but here Hogan does the unthinkable and saves the WWF from Andre’s dominance, it is a fantastic piece of story-telling and wrestling history, can you really shit all over it? Possibly but I will not be the man to do it, a great end to Wrestlemania.

Winner: Hulk Hogan over Andre The Giant Via Atomic Leg Drop!

That was WWF’s Wrestlemania 3, arguably the most important and biggest Wrestlemania of all-time. Is the card up to that billing? No, much of this card could not help this show in the slightest, the first four matches could be removed as we had midgets, DQs and count-outs, the short matches did not have an impact on me and did not suck me into the show. Things change big time with Piper’s match, Piper vs Adonis has a tremendous atmosphere made sweeter by Piper being a babyface and it being his farewell match, it just works so God damn well, it is a great moment. Team Santana vs Team Davis is a great tag team match with Davis being the star in the match, the Intercontinental Championship was fantastic, so fresh and different to the rest of the card, Steamboat as the essential babyface and Savage being as unlikeable as possible it was perfect. Hogan vs Andre was electric, one of the best matches in terms of pure atmosphere alone. So, Wrestlemania 3 when it was bad, was very bad but when it was good, it was amazing, you have so many memorable moments and matches that it is no wonder this is the Wrestlemania that cemented the WWF. Thanks for reading and remember: There’s always another night!

It goes on and on until we eventually, get down to The Naturals and through cheating, their opponents are AMW. Stevens is in real pain while Douglas is being pummelled by Storm. Tag to Harris, double elbow by AMW. Delayed vertical suplex, Stevens is struggling big time. Douglas is brutalized at ringside too, Douglas holds the ropes to survive. Storm nails a big fist, two for Storm.


Eye of The Storm on Douglas, calling for The Death Sentence. The James Gang who had been screwed earlier distract Harris, Storm has Stevens. Eye of The Storm is countered and Stevens manages to roll-up Storm for the win.


Ok, first off the battle royal part was pointless in terms of in-ring action. Nothing ahppened it dragged and wasted so much time. Secondly, you talk about The Naturals beating the odds and proving themselves..... They did fuck all it was The James Gang who won them the match. Douglas got beat for 7 minutes while Stevens never hit a move beyond the roll-up. Proved themselves? How? Took a cheap win? Fuck off TNA.


Winners: The Naturals Via Roll-Up!


(TNA X Division Championship Match) Senshi (C) vs Chris Sabin


The new X Division is not very new is it? Just being harsh, Senshi is the face of the division but Sabin fresh off the Nash feud is here to stand up to the bully that is Senshi. They start off slow applying ssubmission and wear-down holds. Drop toehold by Sabin, dropkick and kicks are dodged before a stand-off.


Senshi with one kick, sends Sabin to the floor. Sabin shoots for a takedown, headscissors. Cover for two, roll-ups for two. Senshi kicks away Sabin, chops by Senshi. Sabin trips Senshi, tope atomico. Senshi counters a suplex with a knee, rolling kappu kick. Muta flashing elbow for two, Knees by Senshi. Chop fest, spinning sole butt and hook kick by Senshi for two. Bodyscissors and cover for two, chopfest. Sabin kicks Senshi to the floor, Senshi blocks the suicide dive with a massive head kick.

Garbage, what the fuck was that? Sabin went from fighting for the X Division to using a blow up doll to cheat? A blow-up doll in TNA's golden period? A BLOW UP DOLL FOR GOD'S SAKE! DUD!


Winner: Senshi over Chris Sabin Via John Wu Dropkick!


Rhino vs Christian Cage


TNA turned Christian for no real reason, makes no sense for such a hot babyface to be turned heel. Rhino and Christian were former best friends, they were as close as Christian was to Edge. Christian is heeling it up and Rhino is showing fire that I have not seen in him since his ECW days. This should be a blood brawl, they start with a test of strength.....


Rhino unloads, clotheslines and right hands. Irish whip into a military press, Christian escapes. Unprettier is countered for a back drop, Gore is avoided as Christian runs away. Atomic drop by Rhino, clothesline and corner spear. Christian boots Rhino, Rhino is on the apron. Shoulder blocks and Christian is back dropped by Rhino to the floor. Into the crowd we go, Rhino military presses Christian ringside. Eye poke by Christian, Christian DDTs Rhino hard.


Rhino is bleeding after the DDT on the ramp, Christian stomps and punches the eyes of Rhino and the cut. Boot by Christian for two, reverse chinlock by Christian. Rhino fights back before Christian yanks him down by the hair. Missile dropkick for two for Christian, neckbreaker by Christian. Frog Splash for two, chops by Christian. Christian misses a corner splash, Rhino nails a shoulder block. Corner spear, belly to belly suplex for two. Christian leapfrogs Rhino, spinebuster by Rhino.


Rhino lines up for The Gore, Christian boots Rhino in the eye. Powerslam by Rhino as Christian bounces off the ropes, Christian rakes the eyes. Unprettier, 1......2..... Rhino kicks out of The Unprettier. Christian tries the gore, TKO by Rhino for two. Rhino clotheslines the referee, Edge O Matic by Christian. Christian has chairs for the conchairto, Rhino dodges the chair. Gore by Rhino, no referee. Rhino wants a conchairto, referee takes the chair. Low blow and Unprettier on the chair for the win.


It was alright, my main problem comes with the story they are trying to tell, the commentators are talking like Rhino should not compete on doctors' orders, that is no problem. But Rhino's blood tries up fairly early, I would have been more sold if Rhino was gushing blood throughout the match, not a lot of brawling either. The intensity fades and it is not the blood bath it needs to be.


Winner: Christian over Rhino via Unprettier!


(NWA/TNA Tag Team Championship Match) LAX (C) vs AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels (Ultimate X Match)


LAX captured the gold in a border brawl match so Styles & Daniels invoked the rematch clause which leads us to this Ultimate X Match. Styles and Daniels being my favourite tag team in TNA at the time taking on LAX, Homicide's shoulder is all taped up in this match, take note of that.


 Hernandez eats calf kicks and dropkicks, Homicide nails an elbow on Styles. Styles is catapulted into a belly to belly suplex, Homicide begins climbing towards the cables. Homicide is brought down, Daniels nails a single arm DDT on Homicide, Homicide is clutching the arm in the corner. Elbows and sentons for Hernandez, Daniels protects Styles as Styles climbs. Homicide brings down Styles, Homicide has a chair.


Homicide dives onto Daniels tope style. Fosbury Flop by Styles onto Homicide, Daniels stops Hernandez diving. Complete shot into a Koji Clutch by Daniels, Homicide saves Hernandez. Hernandez catches Styles, powerbomb by Hernandez. Hernandez gets a ladder, Homicide begins climbing. Styles shoves the ladder into Homicide, Hernandez is crotched onto one of the legs of the ladder. Daniels is throat tossed off the top turnbuckle, corner splash by Hernandez on Styles.


Running powerslam on Styles, Hernandez is knocked off the cables by Styles. Homicide whacks down Styles with a chair, Homicide begins climbing. Styles chases Homicide, Cutter by Homicide onto Styles. Daniels is climbing, Hernandez has Daniels doomsday style. Steiner bulldog by LAX, Hernandez climbs the cables. Styles pulls Hernandez down onto Homicide, Styles clotheslines and Pele kicks everything in sight.


Eye poke by Homicide, springboard reverse DDT by Styles, Styles & Daniels suplex on Hernandez. Homicide boots down Daniels, slam to Styles. Frog Splash misses, High & Low by the challengers. Hernandez clotheslines the challengers, Konnan pulls out a table. Derailer on Daniels by Hernandez, Daniels stops the border toss. Uranage on Hernandez, Frog Splash and BME combination. Spinal Tap by Styles, Homicide is on the apron. Styles joins Homicide, Styles Clash through the table at ringside.


Hernandez and Daniels are left in the ring, Konnan has his slapjack. Daniels is climbing the cables, Daniels climbs the outer structure to escape LAX. Daniels dives onto the championships in the middle of the structure and brings down the championships.


That was great, this was not a series of dives with no reasons or rhyme, this has some fine psychology inside of that ring. Homicide could not climb due to his shoulder, they use ladders to help Homicide. They send up big man Hernandez so Homicide does not have to climb, Homicide climbs up as a last resort. Daniels fights off LAX to let Styles clmb, they use Spinal taps and Koji Clutches to wear down Hernandez, so much good stuff about this match. It is a great Ultimate X Match.


Winners: Styles & Daniels over LAX Via Retrieval Of The Championships!


Samoa Joe vs Jeff Jarrett


It is a fan's revenge match, fans have straps to whip whoever spills to the floor. Jarrett is wearing a shirt, I feel this is an actual shoot but that would be ridiculous right? Joe high kicks Jarrett hard, lefts by Joe. Corner forearm and enzuigiri, they tease Jarrett falling to the floor a lot. Saving the pay-off, uranage slam by Joe. Jarrett gets whipped like a dog, nobody whips Joe.


Jarrett stole a strap, Joe is whipped by Jarrett. Jarrett nails a crossbody for two, crossbody for two again. Joe walks away, huge boot by Joe. Senton, chops by Joe. Jarrett is whipped by everyone, Joe whips Jarrett. Dropkick out of desperation by Double J, Joe powerslams Jarrett for two. Roll-up by Jarrett for two, Jarrett chokes Joe with a shirt. Jarrett is whipped by fans, referees enter the ring. Jarrett has his guitar, Coquina Clutch. Low blow by Jarrett, STroke on the guitar for two. Joe misses high knee, Jarrett tries super stroke. But no, Muscle Buster and it is over.


While ti was fine, you could have easily done this match on Impact, I see no reason for this to headline a pay per view. Also, how can Joe not be champion by this stage? That's two pay per views where Joe has pinned the champion with ease, Jarrett is right up after the muscle buster too. Not a fan of that at all, that's bullshit but this card has mostly been poor. So, your pay per view main event was an average Impact main event.


Winner: Samoa Joe over Jeff Jarrett via Muscle Buster!


That was TNA's No Surrender 2006, a one match show. I felt insulted by waht the X Division brought to this show, people playing pranks and shitting themselves? A blow-up doll? The fans chanted stupid, it was stupid and I hope they correct themselves in time for the next pay per view because it was garbage. Rhino and Christian lacked the heat it needed for the feud and Joe killing Jarrett means nothing because they are not putting that championship on Joe. Watch the Ultimate X Match, skip the rest! Thanks for reading and remember: There's always another night!

TNA Hard Justice 2006 Review

Hello and welcome to another edition of Seanomaniac Wrestling Reviews; the only wrestling review series on the internet that is more without direction than Mike Kanellis! TNA's Hard Justice 2006, Sting has his match with Jarrett, Jarrett is champion but Sting is here where can Jarrett run? LAX vs Styles & Daniels, Samoa Joe vs Rhino vs Monty Brown? What? How did Joe get there? Oh well, it is TNA!


Eric Young vs Johnny Devine


When Team Canada was forced to disband, Eric Young was blamed by Scott D'Amore Young wishes to not get fired and wrestle his heart out while Johnny Devine is punking out his former stablemate.


Slap by Devine, eye poke by Young. Big right by Devine, forearms by Devine. Knees in the corner for two, Young tries a crucifix for two. Devine regains control, snapmare and knee drops by Devine. Slaps by Devine, Young fires up. Slingshot reverse DDT for two, smoke fills the ring as there was a pyro disaster. Cant see the wrestlers, are you kidding me? Devine misses a springboard moonsault, small package by Young for two. Uppercut by Devine, Young nails a powerbomb. Discuss lariat, Devine eats a massive elbow drop for two. Young sunset flips from the apron, roll through. Wheelbarrow Neckbreaker and it's over.


What a shit-show, not the launching match for Young's babyface turn. Could not see have the action, the fans did not care while the smoke was in the arena. Young was popular though, I shall give them that the fans are buying into Eric Young.


Winner: Eric Young over Johnny Devine via Wheelbarrow Neckbreaker!


Chris Sabin vs Alex Shelley


Shelley grabs the ropes quick, avoiding Sabin's speed. They mat wrestle, series of pins. Arm-drags and hiptosses everywhere, Shelley asks for a break.

That was decent, I like that they are extending the feud between Nash and Sabin, Shelley is such an annoying sidekick, it works so well with Nash. Shelley may be one of the only actual heels in the division as well in a division where most guys are interested in flying as opposed to character work.


Winner: Chris Sabin over Alex Shelley via Cradle Shock!


Brother Runt vs Abyss


Runt comes out like Robert De Niro in Taxi, Runt spears Abyss in the chest twice. Crossbody does not work, Abyss tosses Runt into the crowd. Runt dives onto Abyss with a crossbody, Runt has steel chairs. Abyss wedges a chair into the turnbuckle, Abyss hurls Runt into the chair. Abyss corner splashes Runt, Abyss and Runt brawl on the top rope. Chain shot by Runt, double foot stomp for two. Low blow by Runt, Acid Drop for two. Referee gets squished, Shock Treatment. Abyss spreads the tacks, Runt has his head stomped into the tacks. Runt fires up, headbutts. Press slam on the tacks, Black Hole Slam for the win.


Well it was a match, Raven controlling Runt and Abyss destorys Runt. Tacks are no longer shocking to me, Abyss uses them all the time. It had some cool moments, the chair shot and the stomping into the tacks. But it was fine.


Winner: Abyss over Runt via Black Hole Slam!


Rhino vs Samoa Joe vs Monty Brown


What a waste of Joe, I am not happy. Brown takes control clotheslining everyone. Brown is out on the floor, plancha by Rhino. Suicide dive by Joe, Brown smacks Joe with a trash can.

Joe and Brown battle up the ramp, right hands by Joe. Brown knees Joe, neckbreaker on the ramp. Rhino clocks both with a trash can lid, Rhino grabs a table. Rhino misses a gore and craches off the ramp, Samoa Joe  uranages Brown off the ramp through the table for the win.


Why is Joe in this feud? Joe should be in the main event being the champion. Why do a hardcore brawl after you already did a hardcore brawl in the last match? Why so much crowd brawling? How does Joe winning settle or continue the feud between Rhino and Brown?


Winner: Samoa Joe over Everyone Else via Uranage!

Oh fuck me, these two are wrestling? Shoulder block and clothesline by Sirelda, military press slam. Elbow for two, chokeslam is blocked. Gail hotshots Sirelda. Mounted punches by Gail, Tarantula by Gail. Middle rope leg drop, Gail misses a crossbody. Sirelda makes the comeback, falling front slam for two.

Winner: Senshi over Everyone Else Via Stealing The Pin!

This was a lot of fun, Styles and Daniels continue to be the most entertaining team in the tag team division withe their chemistry, they are always in the right place, they seem to do everything perfectly. LAX are blossoming into an awesome heel team, they have the mouthpiece and Hernandez is much better than Machete, this was the best match so far.


Winners: Styles & Daniels over LAX via High and Low!


(NWA/TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match) Jeff Jarrett (C) W/ Scott Steiner vs Sting W/ Christian Cage

Damn You Jarrett and your fetish for insane main event booking, we have people ejected, we have referee's knocked down. And a big old heel turn to end it, you have had like three angles in one match, calm it down man. Also, I do not understand this in the slightest. If Sting is your guy to beat Jarrett and you need to get to Bound For Glory for the title change, why do you have the title match two months prior? It would leave space for Joe to murder Jarrett and Sting to go after Christian but you are not going there are you TNA?


Winner: Jeff Jarrett over Sting via Guitar!


That was TNA's Hard Justice 2006, a bad show in the books for TNA. It gets off to a horrible start and never really recovers for me, the tag team match is good as is Sabin vs Shelley and Senshi's dominance but there is so much nothing on this card. Two hardcore matches back to back, Sirelda flopping around the ring. Young vs Devine being ruined by smoke and a main event that makes no sense with a heel turn on a super hot babyface because there is only room for Sting at the top baby. Thanks for reading and remember: There's always another night!
