... Vince and the writers are gonna cry when Mae passes on, because they'll never have someone like this to participate on the shows for a long time. CLosest we COULD have had was Sherri, but she passed on.

Let's see what he looks like without the suit. Vertical stripes are slimming.

Miz took that Pedigree like a champ though.

Wonder what Bret Hart will think of this? Does he still post a blog or anything like that?

Ah, the day that for many people wrestling died. At least when it did for some friends of mine.

Well, there's no rule against what he did, so...0. If you mean how many he's done that trick...that's at least the second one he's done (the first he won GM on Raw by tossing Sandman out like that) I'd like to see him try that in a Royal Rumble some time for some reason though.

Ah, Raw's from England. THAT'S why he won. At least they explained that. And notice they don't show Steph from below the chest this time around.

DiBiase eliminates his partners. I could picture Ted Sr. doing that too. ...I picture a "Surprise Entrance" by Haas for some reason.

Hall before booze problems, Waltman before Chyna.

Darkseid looks kick-ass there.

Aww, I was hoping for a Hurripop when MVP came out.

I dunno, I got a chuckle out of his "I Don't Like Crossdressers" line from last week.

I know this isn't probably what happened... But I'm picturing, with the jokes about him being behind the times, Vince just now reading the whole "Knightfall" saga of the Batman comics, seeing Bane break Batman's back... And not wanting to get the negative association via that, forces the move not to be called a backbreaker.

All we need is Dusty to come back, and then we'll have all three wrestling Rhodes' on TV at the same time. Though with how Dustin has gained weight, that makes Cody the only one that doesn't really look like he's related to them.

No Lodi mixed in anywhere in there?

Now that you mention it, I suspect that will be this year's elimination match. Team Adamle vs. Team Orton with GM / WWE careers on the line. Orton/JBL/Manu/Dibiase/Rhodes vs. Cena/Punk/Kofi/JTG/Shad. Yep, writes itself. Wait... Will Orton be physically ready to compete by that time?

Kane will wear a shirt with this logo on it:

I hope they don't do Cena/Batista at Survivor Series. That would ruin my Survivor Series Elimination Match idea of: Punk/Kofi/Cena/Cryme Tyme vs. DiBiase/Rhodes/Manu/Morrison/Miz

I'm kinda neutral in this aspect. While I do like more Looney Tunes than old Disney cartoons, I have fond memories growing up of the Donald Duck vs. Chip 'n' Dale cartoons. Plus, Disney's movies tended to be better than th WB animated ones. More recently...well, I grew up on Disney Afternoon. ...and I'll admit this, despite being a guy, I liked the more recent Disney show "Kim Possible".

Hey, you never know. He might become the next Batista on us.

Let's see... I used to have a green Jake "The Snake" Roberts shirt from before I was a wrestling fan. I have still an Undertaker shirt from 1994. Hooded T-shirt, on the front it says "Dead or Alive, It's Still..." and on the back "Undertaker" with a picture of him. Got that at my first live event...a house show with a double main event of Bret defending against Neidhart, and Taker/Yoko in a "practice" casket match for Survivor Series. Hulk Still Rules shirt & Bandana WrestleMania XX shirt (before they added the "Where It All Begins...Again" catchphrase) EC F'N W shirt "Thank You Ric" Shirt. And...that's about it. WISH I HAD: nWo (classic logo) Austin 3:16 Cactus Jack "Wanted" and... The Barry Horowitz shirt from SummerSlam 1995.

Figured since it's the first of the month and I was here, I'd get the ball rolling for this month's general discussion thread. Private Small-Talk will be here shortly too.

Who else has this happened to? I seem to recall CM Punk dodging both of those, for one counter-example. Mr. Kennedy I think is the biggest example. Reagal? Regal wasn't exactly a "New guy" when they started his push as King GM.

Is it wrong for me to want to see Natalya come out to The Big Boss Man's theme while she's in that costume?
