The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I doubt Vince could cover it up this time, though. Has anyone seen Mae Young since her and Jimmy went to the hotel together?

If they actually let Dupree beat Cena, that's gonna go over like a fart in church.

God, neither one of em sound any good to me. But for some reason I have a feeling Pink is going to pull it off.

I dunno, I would go with Rock-Hogan, since Rock-Austin had happened several times before.

from NYTIMES.com n the 11 years since Guns N' Roses last released an album, fans have often wondered what Axl Rose, the group's reclusive lead singer, has been doing. Apparently, attending how-to workshops for publicists has not been on the agenda. Last week, Mr. Rose issued an emotional and apologetic news release through the Business Wire to explain the recent departure of the new Guns N' Roses guitarist, Buckethead, and the group's subsequent cancellation of its May 30 appearance at the Rock in Rio concert in Lisbon. Advertisement "During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment - despite being under contract - creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence.'' "Regardless of anyone's opinions of me and what I may or may not deserve,'' the release added, "clearly the fans, individuals in this band, management, crew and our support group do not deserve this type of treatment." Mr. Rose's approach was not embraced by his newfound colleagues. Public relations professionals usually advise clients to distance themselves from bad news by letting a representative or corporate entity break the information, said Bob Merlis, who worked in publicity at Warner Brothers Records for almost 30 years, and whose firm M.f.h. handles media contacts for John Mellencamp and others. Lois Najarian, a publicist with Dan Klores Communications whose clients include Prince, called the dirty laundry Mr. Rose talked about in the release "a cringe factor." "The criticism that Axl gets when he does bold stuff is that he's showing some sort of instability or lack of reason," Ms. Najarian said. Still, she said some fans appreciate Mr. Rose's candidness. Few have ever doubted Mr. Rose follows a quirky muse. He has spent more than a decade working on his group's next record, and alienated his original bandmates in the process. The group's 2002 tour was nixed after Mr. Rose did not show up for concerts in Vancouver and Philadelphia. Buckethead himself is no stranger to eccentricity. Born Brian Carroll, Buckethead never appears in public without a wig, a mannequin mask and a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on his head. Despite Guns N' Roses' travails, the public's appetite for its releases has not abated. Last week, the group's "Greatest Hits" album made its debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart at No. 3, having sold 169,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Man........that was one of the worst World title matches on PPV I had ever seen. Two green guys with no one in there to carry them. I thought it was just fuckin brutal.

I thought Jericho's reign as champ was supposed to be a bust? Yet he headlined the most successful Rumble of all time.........

Hopefully he has improved. He used to suck all types of ass.

It would've been cool to let Venis work in his "Steele" gimmick that he used to use in Mexico. Wait, brainstorm......Venis comes into WWE as "Steele", the Hurricane's archrival......... Also, is the Antifaz "Antifaz Del Norte" who worked in ECW a few times?

Northeast Region 1 Eddy Guerrero 13 Jushin "Thunder" Liger 6 Rob Van Dam 7 Low Ki Northwest Region 1 AJ Styles 5 Tajiri 3 Shawn Michaels 2 Kurt Angle Southeast Region 1 Shelton Benjamin 4 American Dragon 6 Triple H 2 Brock Lesnar Southwest Region 1 Chris Jericho 4 Jamie Noble Paul London 2 Christopher Daniels

He was the first guy to come to mind for me, as yes, he did look utterly ridiculous.

Mick Foley. Ever since KOTR 98 he has been. Especially when I purchased a couple of tapes of what he had done in ECW (the anti-Hardcore stuff especially.) His first book just cemented it. I'm glad to have him back, he gives me a reason to purchase the PPV this month.

So, they have a guy who is 6"4, 270.......who can execute a Swanton perfectly and who has a very marketable look. Yet his less talented, less charismatic ex-partner Jindrak gets the push? Zuh? Yep, let's cut him. Hey maybe I will catch him live in 3PW or something, that'd be sweet.

Is he still banging Demi Moore?

On the plus side, at least she's hot.

But Jager is from Germany, which makes it better. Achtung! Crazy shit from Kentucky > even the most refined German drinks. I disagree. Nothing good has come from Kentucky. Jack Daniels is made in Kentucky. Also, in honor of this thread, I had 6 beers and 4 shots of Jager at the bar last night. And it was daaaaaaaaamn good.

Especially since he's done it in half the hotel bars in this country.

I don't believe in letter grades. I want a number.

Dave Attell taught me about the beauty of Jager shots. God bless that man, and God bless Jagermeister.

Well, he has worked with GNR in the past. Yeah he was almost Izzy's replacement in the early 90s. He also worked on the song "Oh My God" that was GNR's last "official" new song in 1999.

Isn't that what we do here in America?

30th Anniversary show to feature Justin Hawkins on vocals In a move that's sure to piss off a lot of people, Justin Hawkins, lead vocalist of The Darkness, will be filling in for Freddie Mercury during Queen's 30th Anniversary show. The show, celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Queen's first chart hit, is a charity benefit, with all proceeds going to Terrence Higgins Trust and/or Children in Need. For those of us not in England (and not willing to travel all that way), a charity record will be released featuring the concert. An official announcement is set to take place May 11th, following the 2nd anniversary of "We Will Rock You", a stage musical about the career of Queen. [credit: Blabbermouth.net]

You forgot about Chief Oh yeah, Chief. He quit drinking and decided to go on a diet, so he is a lot less fun lately. Besides, now I can't mouth off at bars then hide behind him anymore.

I'm pretty sure he works in OVW, but doesn't have a WWE contract.

Probably because this isn't the first time Scotty's been involved in something like this.
