I'm sure I'll no-show again and someone will need to take my place, so it's good that offers are on the table.

It seems you did, Lou. It happened in 2008 while he was suspended. Almost a year ago now.

Lance is revealing the story tonight on Wrestling Observer Radio.

As a stand alone match - not based on being overdone or not "WrestleMania scale" - how did Edge/Cena sound awful?

"The WWE Universe now awaits who the final two Superstars will be in the eight-man match." That's some stellar math by WWE.com.

I like it.

I was just pointing out... you know what, I don't need to bother with you.

Huh, Slaughter is still listed as an Ambassador. Nah, they spelled it right. It's Haas. They got it right in the roster, but it's listed as "Hass" in a story note about Kozlov.

I thought Hanks asked the general public to leave him be.

And wow, a lot of dumb fans sure get their ass kicked on Nitro.

I believe there were some "his voice is weird" concerns during his promos last summer when he was sending Edge to Hell.

Facing fears World Heavyweight Champion Edge will come face-to-face with his Big Show when the two sign the contract on SmackDown for their encounter at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Edge's wife made the match on Raw Rekindled Rivalry Matt Hardy and MVP will go one-on-one on SmackDown with a trip to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in the balance. Which one of the former tag team champions (and rivals) will earn themselves a place at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania?

It sucks that Owen's legs got cut off and all, but yeah, for business and such this was the defining moment of the Era of Austin kicking the Fed into high gear.

That's awesome. The story also comes from Jake, so...

I get the impressions the Legends just do their thing when they show up. I highly doubt Piper's promo was written for him by Brian Gewirtz or whomever would be the one to do that. Jericho gave Piper some direction though.

Hopefully they've upgraded to HD this season. That all sounds pretty great.

I believe it was Dick Ebersol he mouthed off to, as the story goes.

I heard you can't even get HD on a PS3 without an HDMI cable. Ha! (Though I guess people who didn't buy a cheap off brand HDTV and it actually has an HDMI port, this makes no difference).

Does it say "pyro and ballyhoo" anywhere?

Not so sure about the Main Event Mafia and how things have gone since then, but Sting's "heel" work from last year that had the fans turn on Joe because everything Sting said was true.

Happy Birthday to fellow 1981'er and all around good poster mellow!

I know there is a title match between the two coming up on Raw despite Owen's promo. If I'm remembering right (and I think one of the best parts of 24/7 is when I don't and I'm surprised), it ends in shcmoz like fashion. This got the high school kids thinking Austin/Michaels was off of Mania (replaced by Austin/Tyson) and Owen/HBK was the title match.

I'll thread this up... eventually.
