Punk's beaten Jericho. Kane locked Taker in a casket and set him on fire. Taker didn't take it well. A better analogy would be Jericho finally getting that pesky win over Triple H. As far as I can remember, he's only got that one fast count "win" for the WWF title that he promptly gave right back later in the show.

Wow, a 1 for looks for Matt Hardy. Is that you Paul London?

If his in-ring success follows McDevitt's in the courtroom that guy will probably end up doing more jobs than Tommy Dreamer.

That's because there are a lot of stupid people on Planet Earth.

I bet once they study his brain, it'll look like that of an 80 year old Alzheimer patient.

Has the Rock/HHH ironman match ever been on dvd?

Well, I wouldn’t call anyone who can’t watch a Benoit match a wimp b/c I understand their position. However, I still watch his matches and it doesn’t bother me in the least.

R-Truth/Cena would probably be a pretty crappy match but if done right, might make for an interesting angle. Have R-Truth call Cena out for losing his edge and being kid friendly, having everything handed to him while R-Truth came up on the streets for real, etc.

Wow, is Matt Hardy really calling himself "Cold Blood"? That's beyond retarded. That sounds like one of those failed nicknames they tried to stick Steve Austin with before he came up with Stone Cold. He should just call himself Ace Dagger or Baron Von Freeze and get it over with.

I do recall there being talk about that but I believe that Sable was slotted to be the focal point. I could be wrong though.

How about Ric Flair throwing coffee in people's faces and him and Arn Anderson winning matches by hitting them with Woman's/Elizabeth's high heel shoes? Worst heel tactics...ever. Also, Lawler's feud with Jake the Snake was pretty bad. Jake's whole "born again" thing was awful in my opinion.

Agreed. I love going back and hearing Jesse, while appearing to be a heel, basically giving pseudo-shoot comments on Hogan throughout his match commentaries. His rants and commentary during the Hogan/Macho match and Hogan’s pose-fest at the end of WM5 are legendary. I remember he said something like, “This dude makes me sick! Makes me wanna come out of retirement, step in there and take this dude out!” He kept calling him Lust Hogan for wanting Elizabeth. Classic.

What graphic nature? The wwe hasn't been close to graphic in a long time... And How does an adult wrestling fan possibly enjoy a product that is catering to children? The more pg it gets, the worse it is. I don't want to return to the early 90s or 80s...the only difference right now is they don't have cartoon characters but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's where they are going before too long. I don't get it really. One of the most successful periods they ever had along with the most successful characters they ever had were when the wwe didn't cater to children and the characters were more colorful/realistic. I'm not saying they have to go back to naked women on tv or wrestlers playing porn stars but I find it absurd and insulting that they go from one extreme to the other...whatever happened to the middle ground? Like no blood? Are you fucking kidding me? This is fucking professional wrestling for gods sake. It's no wonder why I find more enjoyment out of watching 25 year old nwa videos on youtube than i do about anything the wwe is doing today. I selfishly hope this experiment fails miserably. You know what I find a little absurd about the no blood thing? It’s more irresponsible to not show blood in my opinion. You’re basically telling kids to go ahead and whack your friend in the head with a steel chair or throw him into a table because there’s no consequences. I would think that a little kid would be a little more hesitant to perform a GTS on someone in his backyard or punt him in the head if he knew he was going to split the other person’s head open like an overripe cantaloupe. Fascinating point. I never thought of that and don't think I've ever heard someone mention it before. The irony of that possibly being true is hilarious. The whole thing reminded me of this one scene in The Simpsons where they go to Itchy and Scratchy Land: Marge: Such a violent motif. Guard: [laughs] There's no need to murmur, ma'am. Here at Itchy and Scratchy Land we're just as concerned about violence as you are. That's why we're always careful to show the consequences of deadly mayhem so that we may educate as well as horrify. Marge: When do you show the consequences? On TV that mouse pulled out that cat's lungs and played them like a bagpipe, but in the next scene the cat was breathing comfortably. Guard: Just like in real life…… Hey, look over there! (runs away)

Not to be a smart ass, but i don't recall this I'm probably wrong It was called the 'Attitude Adjustment.' He used it to beat Ron Simmons at Halloween Havoc '91. I was bummed. Also, Mickey Rourke will not be at WrestleMania 25. Working with WWE does not work wonders for your career, and it just occurred to him. He also used it to beat Windham for the belt at GAB 91. Harley Race came to the ring and screamed, “Now is the time!” and Lex piledrove Windham for the win.

I wouldn't include Garvin. He was basically there to drop the strap to Flair at Starrcade.

"Every morning I wake up and affirm to myself that I’ve only lived one third of my life and 50 years of age. " So he's planning on living to 150?

Not that I can recall. People would move out of the way before Yoko hit it, but if he connected, nobody ever kicked out that I can remember. I don't remember anyone ever kicking out of Goldberg's jackhammer either.

That’s actually a pretty good way for a babyface to use the MITB shot without looking like a cheap opportunist (ie CM Punk’s win). I wouldn’t do it at WM but at another ppv though.

Also, they did have Mayweather’s handlers basically try to punk out midway through the match and take him to the back to avoid a worse beating. And Mayweather did have to knock Big Show out with brass knuckles.

Sounds like good logic to me. I remember when Austin first started using the stunner and the person taking the move always sold it like it was damaging the throat (Mero at King of the Ring 06 is a good example). Afterwards it became more of a “knockout” move where the force of the person’s jaw hitting Austin’s shoulder jarred their head and neck enough to keep them down for the 3 count. I always think of the RKO as more of a “face into the mat” kind of move as well, while Page’s Diamond Cutter put people out due to the force of Page snapping the person’s neck downward.

So that's exactly what will happen.

Am I seriously the first person that noticed this? Next thing you’re gonna try and tell me is that Cactus Jack and Dude Love are the same person. No way.

I'd love to see Jericho win it.

It's too bad the matches on Souled Out sucked b/c I kind of enjoyed the anarchic atmosphere of the ppv. It was so different than what WCW was normally presenting at that point. I remember being pretty hyped up for the Syxx/Eddy ladder match and being very disappointed with how the match came off. It was funny to see the two whitest of white guys, Hugh Morrus and Big Bubba, fight in a MEXICAN Death Match that ended with Bubba running him over with a motorcycle. The name of that match and the finish were both so out there and goofy that I'm thinking that whole thing had to be a rib on someone.
