Sergeant Politeness Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So today's the big day, big ol Monster Jam Livestream like last year with probably not much to it. Lineups will be announced but if they're anything like last year will probably be heavily modified. Big news story coming in will be the (probable) reveal of the Diesel Brothers truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColorfulCrayons Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Will this years hosts be as stiff and rehearsed as last years hosts? Probably. Will they not know a lick about monster trucks? Probably. Will it be awkward with technical difficulties? Probably. Will it be a train wreck? I hope so, I love a good train wreck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm kinda hyped to see what they do, and im hoping they learned from last year but yet that would be quite entertaInning as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorfulCrayons Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Youtube link for anyone who needs it. News from the stream (Let me know if I forgot anything) Partnering with Netflix a truck from the past will make it's return for 3 events. As we know, the World Finals is back to 2 days, March 23 and 24. A new truck from the guys from the show "Diesel Brothers" that is diesel powered will debut in 2018, sounds like it is called the Brodozer. Brianna Mahon will be driving a truck called "Whiplash" An early access pass for pit parties on Saturday's are now available for Stadium shows All tour champions get an automatic bid in the World Finals Racing includes all 14 trucks in stadiums, fastest two go to the second round automatically, and new event called the "Two Wheel Challenge" Max of 42 points for stadium shows, winners get 14 points for each event, 13 for 2nd 12 for 3rd etc. Judges Zone will be used everywhere Arena course layout looks the same. Cars are included in the Chicago style course Marc McDonald is driving Cleatus Dennis Anderson is officially retired from competition Colt Stephens is driving the Brodozer A service/website called Monsterjam.TV was teased with footage from old and newer events, If I had to guess this is a service similar to the WWENetwork with most, if not all old monster jam shows and what not available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRetroStyle Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Buddy Tompkins in Megalodon was an eye brow raiser for me. Interested to see how he'll do. Dennis.....no.......it can't be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Politeness Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Nice mix on the lineups, Atlanta's looks strong with Adam, Neil, Todd, and a ton of great indies. Colt in Brodozer, Marc in Cleatus, and not an oversaturation of new Triple Threat Drivers. Digging what we got laid down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorfulCrayons Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So we're all in agreement MonsterJam.TV will probably be a service like the WWENetwork where they have all their past events available to watch, right? Maybe we'll get some live events too if we're lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsterboss3 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Jack Brown comes from the Razin Kane team and will be taking Jr's old chassis with some modifications to run arenas. I'm interested to see how those chassis will look with Megalodon and MM Rotty. I hope I'm not the only one that hates seeing Marc being moved.

TheRetroStyle Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thoughts on the stream: I liked the clever mix of lineups; Buddy Tompkins and Travis Groth in Megalodon, Brandon Vinson in Grave Digger, Linsey Read back in Scooby-Doo, Colt Stephens in Brodozer, and Marc McDonald in Cleatus (Even tho I'm REALLY gonna miss him being in El Toro) Whiplash looks far different than I expected. Brodozer looks really cool. Dennis Anderson announcing his retirement left a huge frown on me. Some of the drivers mentioned in MJU look like they have a lot of potential, judging by the footage seen. Really hoping those IG kids don't leak the returning truck..... Also, I just realized looking back at the stream; NEA Police may be retired at the end of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Politeness Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dennis's retirement was no surprise, the Tampa injury was the final big scare to persuade him to leave, and glad he's bowing out while still mobile. Also NEA is no shock, the truck was more filler than anything and really wasn't a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swegliner849 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Wait, looks like no more Metal Mulisha :/. I knew that Dennis retirement was obvious but seeing him confirming it made me feel weird, but is ok. He did a great job and it was the best choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
