Eh, I’ve been sick as hell these past couple weeks, which would explain my absense. But, never fear, for I am back, dear readers.
WWE Velocity- February 5th, 2005
Ah, shit. This is gonna be one of those ‘Special Edition’ Velocities when they have nothing else better to do than add meaningless filler shit leading up to WrestleMania. We kick off with Josh and Steve in a studio, ready to start off the Road to WrestleMania.
-We’re treated to a video package of various people buying their WM21 tickets. Why people bring their replica title belts to ticket sales baffles me completely.
-More hype as to how WM is the greatest, biggest, most fan-diddly-tastic show of the year.
-WrestleMania XX video package, to the song ‘Step Up’ by Drowning Pool.
-Up next, we’re gonna be treated to Angle/Benoit from WMX7. Sweetness.
-Back on Velocity, we learn that various WWE Superstars voted Angle/Benoit at X7 to be one of the greatest WrestleMania matches ever.
-Angle/Benoit video package. Booo, you bastards, show the whole damn match, not like you got anything better to show. Angle of course wins the match with a roll up and a handful of tights.
-Up next, a recap of the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony from last year.
-WrestleMania Recall: Kane Tombstoning Pete Rose at WMXIV.
-Back here on Velocity, it’s HOF time.
-WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony from last year recap. I just have to say that you do get an honest warm feeling when watching this. Hopefully this year will be just as good.
-We’re reminded of the 2005 Hall of Fame Inductees. Hey, here’s a sweet idea: Have Bob Orton turn heel for one night, just so Randy can RKO him, for shits and giggles. Tee hee.
-Up next, a preview of that Axxxxxccceesss event that’s held every year near WM. I’ve wanted to go to that damn thing for years.
-We’re reminded that there are 57 days until WrestleMania.
-Road to WrestleMania Tour Bus time. What ho, it’s not called Axxxcessssss any more, and it travels the country. No where near me, so pooey.
-Up next, more meaningless filler, as we get to see fans that get the chance to travel with superstars.
-Back on Velocity, we see 4 ‘lucky fans’ who got to ride with 3 WWE Superstars. These people got to ride with Scotty 2 Hotty, Dawn Marie, and Trish Stratus. Oooh, top tier guys there. Ah well, looked kinda cool.
-Up next, Cena/JBL/WWE Title recap from SmackDown, blah blah blah.
-WWE Whatever of the Week: Undertaker/Dupree wrestling to a double count out due to Reigns/Jindrak.
-Back on Velocity, we’re treated to the final moments of the Eddie/Booker match from SmackDown, whereas Booker wins with a rollup and some tights.
-We’re shown the #1 Contendors Tourny brackets.
-We end the show with some SmackDown From Japan Hype.
