QuestionMan

Vince seriously must be saying some hardcore shit if men like Mick Foley or Tazz can't even handle it.

Yes, Coach definitely left on good terms. In fact, I remember reading when WWE was at ESPN with John Cena, they found Coachman and got a lot of footage of him.

WWE announced today that Sunny, Torrie Wilson, Molly Holly, and Victoria would be participating in the WM25 Diva battle royal.

Jim Ross has been constantly saying on his blogs for a while that "I don't care if I get drafted to ECW" which makes me think he will be (or at least was supposed to be).

I seem to remember a few months ago an article came out about Tazz possibly being unhappy. Anyone else remember it?

Man, Vince has got to be pissed for this to happen right before WM.

Watching Tazz on WWE 24/7, he never sounded too happy about where he was. Jim Ross always referred to him as "angry" on his blog. Is Tazz one of the ECW Originals backstage at TNA today? PWI has it member-blocked too.

This is looking to be one of the worst WrestleManias in a long time. There's nothing remotely exciting to look forward to on this show except for HBK/UT, but everyone knows by now that UT is never going to lose at WM. Couple a pathetic card with a $55 price tag during a brutal recession, Vince better be ready for a WM13 buyrate.

TV-PG Steve Austin should be pretty hilarious in its own right.

I thought use of the word "gig" was forbidden around here?

OH MY!

Notice how everytime, it's him who makes the first derogatory comment? Classy.

You speak of Firefox like it's a bad thing.

Windham jumped back to the NWA.

According to Russo, there was some special Friday Night Raw or something in September 1996 that only drew like a 1.8 rating. At the time, he says he went to McMahon and said, "A 1.8? Things need to change. Your direction is stale and sucks." Russo thought he was going to get fired for what he said, but he ended up getting put on the booking team. They also pulled in Ed Ferrera, who had previously been writing for "Duckman" on USA. By the time WM13 rolled around, Russo was fully in charge with Ferrera as his right-hand man.

That venue was the Civic Center in Lowell, MA. It was also the arena where HBK did his "lost my smile" speech, The Rock beat HHH for his first I-C Title, and the one where HHH and HBK did the fake European Title match.

Sting never once came close to going to the WWF while WCW was still around. But he admitted that he was very, very close to going a few times after WCW died. In fact, he was so close to going in 2003, Vince told the creative team to start coming up with ideas for a HHH/Sting feud. But he backed out and they went after Goldberg instead. He also said that before he agreed to go to TNA full-time, Vince was practically begging him to come in and face The Undertaker at WM22. Sting ultimately declined and he ended up facing Mark Henry in a shitty casket match. He said all the times he's talked to Vince, Vince has always been really nice to him.

Savage's angle with Jake Roberts is a masterpiece. Every person training to be a wrestler should watch every single bit of that angle if they haven't already. It's just a shame the angle ended so abruptly to sent Roberts towards Undertaker and Savage toward Flair. And shit, even announcer Randy Savage managed to make his feud with Crush in 1994 look like a huge deal.

Holy shit. Windham "Tank" Rotundo lost a ton of weight.

Sir, may I suggest not posting when you have no clue how a board works. It would help a lot for you here. Encouraging members not to post now? Nice way to increase board traffic and drive discussions. Have fun with that, see you later everyone else. Shut the fuck up. You seem to have no problem bitching about anything I post.

Holy shit.

What a bunch of bullshit.

MTV.com interviewed John Cena yesterday and instead of focusing on Cena's movie "12 Rounds," they spent the whole piece talking about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as both have ventured into acting. Cena did the usual "I love wrestling and will never leave it no matter what stuff" that he has been doing for a while now. He said that the fans are hold it against Johnson that he left them behind for Hollywood. Then, he finally swung for the fences when he said, "I've been trying to wrestle him. It's not that I don't think he'll accept the challenge; he truly has a full plate. I think our fans would like to see him come back to the ring. Dwayne Johnson or the Rock or whatever he wants call himself vs. John Cena. Let's say 'WrestleMania 26' in Phoenix." http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1607906/2...326/story.jhtml

Yeah. The original plan for Edge when he came back in 2004 was to eventually go head-to-head with Triple H in a feud that, I presume, HHH would have come out on top in. I say that mainly because I never heard of any plans for Edge to actually beat HHH, just feud with him.
