Lil' Bitch

That's the reason?!! :shakes head:

Is there a story behind this?

I saw it today in the new issue of WWE RAW magazine (with the Dudleyz on the cover). This is it except Kane's face is gray colored and in the middle of the picture surrounded by red drawing effects similar to fireworks trails I guess I can best put it and the exact words of "Face Your Fear" as seen on this very T-Shirt is beneath his face placed horizontally and is also in a different (and smaller) text font and color. Looks like Kane is beating Shane.

You had Brad Bitt and Julia Roberts...where was the Mexican? By the way, I, for one, liked 7 Years In Tibet, now that was a good movie if you like drama.

Yeah, Val fought Test at the RAW house show I went to back in June. It certainly topped anyway Test / Steiner that has happened so far. Stacy was still with Test at the timeand Test did the usual "put Stacy in front of him to protect himself outside of the ring" tactic. Val beat him with a weird variation of the Rock Bottom. I never understood why Val got his hair cut. Either because he wanted to or he was another victim of WWE's militaristic hairstyle rule because he looks "too much like HHH" ?

RVD's push died that night at Unforgiven last year...

I'd mark out if RVD gave Vince the Five Star Frog Splash!

I hate that Prime guy...

Well, Guerrero did get two world title shots last year as much as I can remember. Once against the Rock on RAW and on the November 7th edition of SD against Brock Lesnar. I remembering reading a rumor on prowrestling.com last months that there were plans to have Eddie get a WWE Championship title shot at Survivor Series which is going to be held in Dallas, TX.

I, for one, hope they keep that up.

Another one of those things in WWE that I'll always be pissed about.

Angle / Lesnar was a dream match because of their amateur wrestling backgrounds (NCAA champion Vs. Olympic gold medalist) It didn't work out that way it should have because that aspect was barely mentioned on TV, but was nicely covered in one of the WWE magazines that focused on WM XIX. I think it would have worked out better if it was heel Brock vs. face Kurt. I think that's what it was supposed to be originally until Big Slow was clumsy enough to break Brock's rib. I'm glad they saved it for the main event, I was getting tired of all the Hogan / McMahon hype although I did enjoy the Street Fight.

I'm betting NGC will be the first one to die off!

I could give a shit about Part I and II, I just want to see Darth Vader go on a murderous rampage so I can mark out!

Did Luger ever have a match with Bulldog after the heel turn since they were the tag team of the Allied Powers or was this after Luger was gone? One day reigns...gotta love them. God, I was happy when that reign ended. Ah, memories of Booker Wee...

I'm glad he went for it ever since it caught me by surprise when I saw the famous OVW clip. I'd love to see Brock do it again, but doing it sucessfully so he can prove his critics wrong. He was interviewed one or two months ago in PWI and he said that exhaustion was the reason why he botched the move and that he shouldn't have gone for it so late in the match. Either way you look at it whether he botched it or not, it was still a Holy Shit sight. I found it more amazing that since it was probably one of the scariest moments in professional wrestling, Brock was able not only able to still move, but he got up and finished the match! To me, that was unbelievable what transpired those last 5 minutes of WM XIX. Maybe it would have worked out right had Angle just been closer to the ring post...

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a Mattitude push and I really enjoyed the Benoit / Hardy match on SD, but I can easily say that Benoit / Hardy wouldn't have been as good as the Benoit / Guerrero match we got at Vengeance. I'm just thankful we didn't get Billy Gunn U.S. Champ that night... Um...because they're not an asshole boss? I hope they reconsider. I would rather watch Kidman / Mysterio than Gowen / Hardy. I'm an MFer, but I can't stand Zack. What a bitch. YES! The Streak will end! Oh no...Wait til AS read this... You mean it wasn't Goldberg?!! What an asshole. I guess when he's feeling healthy, he's usually in the main event for obvious reasons. Back in June, he defended the WHT against Nash in the RAW house show main event I attended. They teased a Nash title win, but thankfully, it turned out to be a no contest courtesy of Earl Hebner.

I'm just hate when wrestlers bitch about their trademark moves being used, you can only be so original before you run out of something new / extraordinary to use. Hell, I remember when the DDT was a devastating finisher that nobody would kick out of! Besides the SSP alone is impressive, but seeing a 275+ guy doing it successfully is even more impressive (see OVW video)!

I was shocked Kidman didn't do his heel turn on this past SD after him and Rey lost the tag match. And fuck what Kidman says, if it wasn't for his SSP and him married to Torrie, he'd be a jobber for life.

I'm still blaming Hogan, Gowen wasn't even supposed to be in the match damn it!

I take it Trips is running out of faces to bury so he's gonna finish off his record by burying all the heels too?

Woooooooooooooooo! Of course, I didn't like it when they replaced Kane, but after I saw the film, Ken didn't do a bad job with the role of Jason.

Forgotten Classic: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs. Bret "The Hitman" Hart WWF Intercontinental Championship - Wrestlemania VIII - April 5, 1992 - Indianapolis, Indiana Backstory: In January of 1992, Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart was coming to the end of his WWF contract, and not wanting to have the title on Bret while they worked out a new deal (this sound familiar to some of you?), Hart dropped the title to The Mountie (Jacques Rougeau, Jr.) at a house show in Springfield, Massachusetts on January 17th. Using the excuse that Bret, after wrestling with a high fever in his title loss, needed time off, Rowdy Roddy Piper challenged the Mountie at the Royal Rumble on the 19th, winning the gold. This set up a natural match between Piper and Hart, and it was signed for April 5, 1992 at Wrestlemania in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Hoosier Dome. That is, it would seem natural today. Remember, this is 1992 WWF, where babyfaces rarely wrestled each other. In fact, there had not been a face vs. face title match since two years earlier, when Ultimate Warrior faced Hulk Hogan. In the weeks leading to the match, WWF made the surprising decision to not turn either wrestler into more of a crowd favorite. They would face off during interviews, with both getting their shots in at the other, but neither crossing the line into becoming a heel. Piper would talk about being invited into the Hart home for lunch, then toss in a shot that Bret's mother only put one slice of baloney on the sandwiches. Bret would say that Roddy Piper looked good with the title belt, but then remind everyone that Piper never beat him for the title. In one memorable interview, Bret turned to leave, and Piper held the belt as if to bash Bret over the head. Bret turned and Piper smiled at him and said "I could have had you", once again showing that neither man was going to take a shortcut to beat the other. Finally, during a pre-match interview, the sparks began to fly. Piper went to playfully pinch Hart on the cheek, and Bret told him to "keep his hands to himself". Bret tried to recreate Piper's "I could have had you moment", but Piper was ready for it, and shrugged Hart away. The battle of "good guys" now had a new element: Which one would lose their cool first? Pre-Match: Bret Hart came to the ring first, while Bobby Heenan, on color commentary, referred to the match as being a "streetfighter" vs. the "excellence of execution". Piper, looking very focused, walked to the ring, only occasionally reaching out to slap five with fans. Hart gave his trademark glasses to a fan at ringside. Gorilla Monsoon, doing play-by-play, predicted that the bout would be more of a "knockout, drag down" affair than a scientific encounter. Match: The bell rang, but Piper took his time taking off his T- shirt and kilt. The referee called them into the center of the ring, and Piper and Hart went nose to nose, neither saying anything. They circled the ring, and locked up. Piper turned it into an armdrag, and sent Hart to the mat. Hart circled Piper, but seemed tentative to lockup again. They did, and this time Hart armdragged Piper to the mat. Piper backed up to a corner. They locked up again, and Piper tripped Hart to the mat. Piper went for a waistlock as Hart tried to move out of it, but Piper stayed on the ride. Hart got his feet under him, and Piper held the waistlock. Hart dropped down, and flung Piper off his waist and through the ropes to the floor. Piper, aggravated, rushed back into the ring and got in Hart's face. Hart shoved Piper, and Piper spit his gum at Hart. The tempers were starting to flare. Piper called for a test of strength, and Hart agreed. After staying with the knucklelock for a moment, Piper stepped over one arm to break the hold, then twisted the other. Hart reversed with an armtwist of his own, and put the pressure on the arm. Hart hit the arm twice, an Piper tried to chop his way out of the armwringer. Hart maintained the hold. Piper took Bret to the corner, rammed him facefirst into the top turnbuckle, and continued to chop, but Hart would not let go of the arm. Hart rode Piper to the mat with the armwringer, then turned it into a hammerlock. Piper got to his knees, and Hart went into an armbar. Piper managed to whip out of it. Hart rebounded off the ropes and Piper missed a clothesline. Hart hit a dropkick, but clutched his shoulder as he landed on the mat. Piper got to his feet, but Hart was still down on the mat. The referee told Piper to back off, and he did. Hart then reached up and grabbed Piper in a small package for the first two count of the bout. Piper and Hart sprung to their feet, and Piper slapped Hart for the trick he had just pulled. Bret shoved Piper, and Piper grabbed Hart in a sideheadlock after a short right hand. Bret reversed the hold, and Piper shoved Hart to the ropes. Hart came back with a flying cross bodyblock, and Piper caught Bret, but Roddy stumbled backwards towards the ropes. They both flipped over the top and landed on the floor. Piper went back into the ring first, then held the ropes open and invited Hart back in. Hart warily entered, and there was no double-cross, getting applause from the fans. Piper pointed at Hart's untied bootlace, and when Bret and the referee bent over to fix it, Piper clipped Hart with an uppercut. Hart was laid out on the mat, and as he got up, Roddy attacked, hitting punches and stomping Hart on the back of the head. Piper lifted Hart off the mat, and Bret was bleeding from the head. Piper hit another right, then rammed Hart into the top turnbuckle. Piper grabbed a side headlock and delivered another right. Piper hit a running bulldog from the corner and scored a two count. Piper argued with the referee briefly about the count, then went back to Hart. Piper bit Hart on the head, then whipped him hard into the opposite corner. Piper slapped Hart, and executed a kneelift for a two count. Piper punched the wound again, and went for a backdrop, but Hart countered with a sunsetflip for a two count. Piper hit a series of jabs, knocking Hart to the mat for a two count. Piper lifted Hart again, and fired off another shot. He and Hart exchanged punches, then Hart bounced off the ropes and hit a flying forearm, sending Piper to the floor. Piper ran back into the ring, and he and Hart clotheslined each other. Both men were down, and although Piper's head was resting on Hart's side (and all four shoulders were down) no pinfall count was made. The referee began a ten count, but Piper was getting up at six. Piper went to the top rope, but Hart, playing possum, sprung up and ran to the corner. Hart hit Piper in the midsection, then held him by his hair and pulled him so that Piper was stretched out from the corner, with his feet hooked over the top rope. Hart drove Piper face first into the mat. Hart hit a reverse atomic drop and a vertical suplex for a two count. Hart delivered a side Russian legsweep for another two count. Hart delivered a side backbreaker and grabbed Piper's legs for the Sharpshooter. Piper kept grabbing Hart's foot so that he could not step over his legs and apply the hold, so Hart instead drove an elbow into Piper's head. Hart went to the second rope and went for another elbow, but Piper got his foot up to catch Hart in the face. Piper and Hart, on their knees, exchanged punches. They worked their way up to their feet, continuing to throw punches. Hart hit a headbutt and grabbed a side headlock. Piper shoved off Hart, who slammed into the referee, knocking him down. Piper then hit Hart with a clothesline, knocking him to the floor. Piper followed Hart to the floor, and rammed Hart face first into the ring steps. Piper tossed Hart into the ring, then grabbed the ring bell and followed. Piper stood over Hart, poised to hit Hart with the bell. Hart grabbed at Piper's foot, but Roddy kicked him away. Hart was on his knees in front of Roddy, but Piper hesitated, and didn't swing the bell. Piper looked at the crowd, who was starting to boo his action. Piper raised the bell again, then decided against it and tossed the bell to the floor. The fans cheered the move. Piper hit Hart with a right hand. Hart took a swing, but Piper ducked, and then clamped on a sleeperhold. Hart, near the corner, jumped up and kicked off the turnbuckles, sending himself and Piper backwards to the mat. Hart flipped over, and with Piper still holding the sleeper, Hart was cradled above his upper body. Piper's shoulders were on the mat, and the referee counted three. Bret Hart was the new Intercontinental Champion. Post-Match: Hart was bloody on the mat, while Piper sprung up, realizing he had just been pinned. Piper took the Intercontinental Title belt, and placed it over Hart's shoulder, then picked him up off the mat. Piper secured the belt around Hart's waist, and the two embraced. Piper and Hart then walked away from the ring together. Aftermath: Roddy Piper would leave the WWF for another sabbatical from wrestling. He would make a surprise appearance at Summerslam that year, then would make appearances at Wrestlemania X and XI as a special referee. He would come back for another brief run in early 1996, then in October of 1996 would show up in WCW to renew his classic feud with Hulk Hogan. ... Bret Hart had a busy year, losing the Intercontinental Title to Davey Boy Smith at Wembley Stadium, but bouncing back to win his first WWF World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Ric Flair via submission on his way to becoming "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be".
