OTC: Thoughts on that Auckland Show (Full Version)
Okay, if you missed it the first time here goes again! Highlights from the Smackdown and ECW event in Auckland on Wed 11th June, 2008. Woot!
PS: All pictures and video clips were taken and are owned by me
WWE have done it again! Internet Copyright Paranoia at it's Worst
The video above is supposed to highlight the awesome WWE Smackdown and ECW event at Auckland's Vector Arena on Wed 11th June, 2008 but now it doesn't do Jack. The WWE Internet Hounds have been out in force yet again removing any videos from the NZ Tour including this one only after a few hours on YT
You fu@kers! Thank you very much for ruining an almost perfect event

WWE Smackdown and ECW Tour in Auckland, Baby!!!
I just got home from the WWE Smackdown and ECW Tour at Vector Arena and I'll freely admit that this was the BEST wrestling event I've EVER.. eeeeee..eeevvvvaaaaa.. been to bar none. This is after attending (at least) seven events for Smackdown, ECW, and Raw right here in NZ and Australia. It absolutely freakin rocked!Straight off the bat, the one and only, Shane O'Mac came out to announce Undertaker's "farewell tour" news and that he was allowed to compete in this very ring tonight. Woot! Shane's surpise appearance popped big time for the Below the Belt crew (and my nephew) who had no idea he was coming. To hear that music ("Here comes the Money") was flippin sweet too. Yeeeeaaaah
We'll be posting a review of this event probably for the very first episode of BTB Season Two in which we'll go into more detail of the event. In the meantime here's the card (as best as I can recall right now)..
Kelly Kelly
Who sounds like a chipmunk (on helium) talks about crap that no one cares about. Unfortunately, not the last we'll hear from her. Whoever came up with the idea to give her a mic is an idiot. She's in the WWE to look hot and that's it!
Shane McMahon
Special announcement of Undertaker's "Farewell Tour" and inclusion on the card for tonight's show
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP:
Matt Hardy (c) vs Chuck Polumbo
Massive pops for Hardy. The crowd goes wild. Hardy took the win after a Twist of Fate
DIVAS:
Michelle McCool vs Victoria
Featuring a rather pointless interruption by Nattie Neidhart who was dressed alot like Golddust. WTF?! Michelle took the win but I can't remember how
BTW: Victoria was looking hooooooot tonight. I've got a rather flattering clip of her but you'll see.. maybe if you're nice ;)
MVP'S VIP LOUNGE:
Butch Miller & Tony Garea
I thought this Cutting Edge/Highlight Reel-type interview show was a bit long but then anything to do with the WWE, homegrown superstars and MVP ripping on New Zealand sports teams is gonna be sweet! His mic attacks to his opponents were funny as hell too. Simple bops to the head sent the old fellas flying. lolz
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:
The Miz (c) & Morrison (c) vs Finlay & Hornswoggle
Hilarious match with lots of gay chants to the champs. I liked how both teams lapped it up. Megalolz, and let's just say the champs retain but like it mattered. This match was one of the highlights of the night due to pure entertainment value
CM Punk vs Chavo Guerrero
This match seemed quite slow when compared to the others but spiked every now and again with a few nice spots. Not too helpful for taking pics though. Err. Punk took the win after a GTS
FYI: Punk had his Money in the Bank
BREAK
Way too short for my liking at prolly 10 or 15 mins. I was still in line (a nice short one) when the next match started with a boom. Yep, bugger! I missed the fireworks

FYI: I wasn't expecting fireworks at Vector because the venue's so small so I was very, very surprised to find we had them and LOTS of them too. Woot!
Kofi Kingston vs Shelton Benjamin
Shelton's the man! Kofi popped the crowd with his "boh boh boh" chants but I find the whole thing annoying. Kofi won the match. What a travesty!
Kane & The Undertaker vs Mark Henry & The Great Khali
Last minute change. MVP was supposed to team up with Henry but I like this idea more. Unfortunately, I can now say Khali sucks LIVE and on TV but at least his entrance is cool. Kane trying to break out of Khali's vice grip popped, I just thought Kane should've broken out of it instead of getting Taker's help. Undies rocks! The Brothers of Destruction won this one (of course) with a double chokeslam by both Kane and Taker
Vladimir Kozlov vs Shannon Moore
WTF?! Trying to slow the pace way, way down before the main event, eh WWE? Well, I'm onto ya! At least this match was short. Vladimir's entrance is very intimidating. I like it!!

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
Edge (c) vs Batista
Slow start. Big pops. Interference by La Familia (Chavo & Neely) who pummel Batista but he's saved by The Undertaker who comes out at the very last minute to give him a hand against the odds. Michael blows the absolutely best photo op ever, and then sadly.. it's all over!
Remember we'll try to add more detail when we film our next episode in a few weeks. So, thanks WWE! We had the best time ever. Woooooooooooooo!!!

New Poll for One Night Stand. Get Voting Yo!
Hiya folks,
Just because we've got exams, assignments, that thing called life beyond YouTube (I know) and stuff like doesn't mean we're done for and stopping altogether. Oh, hella no!
Check out and vote in the latest poll for the 2008 One Night Stand PPV!
It's multiple choice again so get voting :)
Also, the votes for my other poll is still quite low and the results are inconclusive as to whether I should continue doing Lottery Drafts for BTB Season Two. If you don't know what I the hell I'm talking about (lolz) follow this three step process
STEP ONE:
Click on the following link..
http://lostinz.blogspot.com/2008/05/btb-30_29.html
FYI: You'll notice that the video will work for you. That's because it's been set to public now and the advanced preview period has ended. During that one day it didn't if you weren't drawn from the BTB Episode Lottery Draft and instead you'd get an error message saying that the video has been set to private. Within hours of posting this idea I lost almost 10 subscribers however at the same time YT made an update to their subscriber counting system
STEP TWO:
Now click on this link..
http://lostinz.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-poll-btb-episode-lottery-draft-good.html
STEP THREE:
Finally, vote in the poll entitled, "The BTB Episode Lottery Draft is..". It's right below the one on One Night Stand with four options. For a better description of what each option means refer back to the link in step two
You're done! The more votes the better in both polls
Cheers :)

BTB: The Definitive Subscribers Edition (3 of 3)
Part three of the 3-part season finale dedicated to you, the fans! Here we recap the entire season with our favorite BTB moments. A nice way I believe to wrap up the season. This episode mostly consists of the funny antics we got up to and it also contains a bonus for our first 100 subscribers at the end of the usual credits. Thanks everyone!

Spoilers for the Final Episodes of BTB Season One! Part 2
Hi all,
It's about that time where I give you some spoilers for the final three episodes of BTB Season One
But firstly, because I've got exams and assignments coming up I've really been trying to hammer these last few episodes out as fast as possible. I'll freely admit that my video editing hasn't been the best and some cool ideas I had before had to be dropped. For example, I really wanted to do another Bloopers vid as requested by Jax (vetyp619), but that'll have to wait until after my exams because I have to rewatch several episodes. I don't have the time to do that right now but I will in a few weeks :)
Also, in editing the final 3-part season finale (which is dedicated to our subscribers) I only wanted it to be in 3 parts and no more. This is because each part was supposed to represent a different topic and having multiple episodes for each part would make numbering them rather difficult
As you may know, we were over-time on almost every episode for this particular shoot (episodes 30-32) and this unfortunately meant alot of content was left on the proverbial "cutting room floor", Luckily most of this "useless" footage was filler, repeated material, or Michael hating on his co-hosts and fans again. The reason all this material was dropped is due to the standard 10 min YouTube video limit. Both episodes 32 (1 of 1) and 32 (2 of 2) were over-time at 17 mins each *yikes* so there you go
Hopefully, I'll be able to bring back some of the missing material and show you more blooper moments in a future episode but we'll see ;)
So back to those spoilers, here goes..
