Enigma

I was just waiting for someone to start a thread over this. Thank you for fulfilling my prophecy, EvanderHolyfieldsMissingEar. Now with that being said, please get the stick out of your ass. He clearly wasn't using it to be racist. He was just trying to be funny and make fun of the slang use of the word "nigga". If anything, he just used it as a segway for Booker's old catchphrase. And why are people acting as if Vince McMahon is the first person ever to do this, as benevolently as he did? Another great case of wrestling mysteriously being held to a higher standard than other forms of entertainment. I even showed the segment to some of my black friends, and they thought it was hilarious to see this old, rich, white guy refer to a white-guy-who-acts-black as a "nigga". None of them wanted to slit Vince's throat when they saw it. I think a lot of this sentiment just has to do with people generally disliking Vince and looking for absolutely any reason to throw shit at him. Learn to laugh sometimes, my nigga.

Mugshot from this morning.

He can forget ever being governor of North Carolina now.

I remember when Angle came back as a face in mid-03 and told the fans to keep chanting "You Suck" because it made him laugh and he considered it to be one of those weird bonds with a crowd.

Looks to me like title reign #11 for Trips.

It was an absolute shock to me. I saw the news in a post-sleep haze and immediately woke up.

I don't think it would be in the best taste to do a Buried Alive match right now.

Annoying? Why, because she was drinking water? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Obviously coughing annoys him.

Rick Rude said that when he was in the WWF, Vince hinted at the fact he would promise him a push if he got "on the gas".

I remember when the steroid shit was just hitting the fan with Vince in 1991. The media went to WCW's guy in charge, Jim Herd. When they asked Herd if WCW tested its wrestlers for steroids, his great response was, "We don't test for dumb stuff like that. We test for the hard stuff."

Phil Mushnick is still out there? Wow.

No more W-E-E-D for R-V-D.

Well, considering Vince almost went to jail for 20 years over steroids in his business...

From WWE.Com at 10:19am EST: NEW WWE DRUG POLICY Vince McMahon announces new WWE drug policy. Check back later today for more details. ======== From WWE.Com at 10:45am EST: In a joint meeting today with the Raw and SmackDown rosters in the United Kingdom, in Sheffield, Vince McMahon announced that within the next several weeks, a new drug testing policy will be implemented in which performance enhancing drugs, such as steroids, etc., recreational drugs, as well as abuse of prescription drugs will be banned. In addition to the new drug testing procedure, there will also be an emphasis on cardio vascular examinations. The specifics of the drug policy will be announced over the next several weeks. More details to follow. Check with wwe.com for the latest information.

I remember that one night on RAW when he did his old rap schtick on Carlito, HBK, Angle, Big Show, & Edge. I was thinking, "Why did he EVER go away from this stuff? This is what made him."

Austin said he didn't go to Pillman's funeral because he probably wouldn't be able to handle it and probably would have had a breakdown.

Meltzer said Orton was going to win the title at the originally scheduled triple threat match anyways, so whatever.

Explain.

From PWInsider We don't have much in the way of details where the Eugene situation is concerned but I have been told by one source on the European tour that "when a guy is taken to the hospital then sent home and suspended, the reason is very most probably exactly what you would think it is." I won't say any more than that at this time, but I think the message there is pretty clear.

The Plane Ride from Hell ocurred on the way back the United States. They are still in Europe.

They just aired that Survivor Series commercial here promoting Batista vs. Eddie on Tuesday night. Someone really needs to get that fixed.

"Look at my face. It looks like I've aged 15 years in the last 5." What a creepy statement. And whoever made the statement about Kurt's head, I agree. Watch his WWE.Com testimonial to Eddie Guerrero. It looks like his head has a diagonal median in it and the top-left-half is going to explode. It freaked me out.

I remember when I was doing my WON notes for this board (which WILL be returning this week), there was a bit in there during Kurt's run as GM that Meltzer said, "WWE put Kurt Angle into the role of Smackdown general manager mainly to let his neck rest, but they are trying to emphasize to him that he needs to slow down. WWE is even willing to demote him back to mid-card status if Angle doesn't get the message." Looks like WWE didn't stick to that.

I think the WWE.Com option is probably the most you're going to get.

There was a link to the online guestbook of Eddie's local newspaper. Do you want that?
