Hawk 34

WWE wasn't that interested in him the last time around beyond the point of just keeping him away from TNA. Foley, Cena and Punk won't be able to change McMahon's mind and I don't see anyone else in the company strongly going to bat for him. Joe would likely know he's better off working NOAH/ROH again in and out of the ring.

I thought he was done reviewing wrestling. Where is he at these days?

I know Dr. Andrews is the foremost doctor to all athletes but WWE really keeps the guy in business, don't they? That didn't take Rey that long to suffer another injury but it wasn't the knee this time, which is a surprise.

AI needs to fulfill its plus size black female requirement and skinny girl was already covered. No one really stands out enough as a probable winner, a couple of those guys just really felt like they had no reason to be there other then to be easy eliminations. Is it safe to say that one uber gay dude (Danny Noriega, I think his name was) will be this year's character act? I just hope they have better categories this year.

The supposed lack of size and the very brief run as lightweight worker wasn't Christian's biggest hindrance. It was years of being the sidekick to Edge and Jericho.

That was the Exploitation of Eddie effect. Prior to that, Rey was quite over.

It's old news but it's still good for them.

There's a big difference in UT's entrance with a small walk-way in 1993 when his entrances were still quite low-key and the big spectacles that UT does for WM these days. My favorite Taker entrance is still Slam 1992 with the hearse.

How would people feel if UT won by DQ? Keeps the streak active but doesn't take the title off Edge.

Just imagine how great Pillman would have been during the height of the Attitude era.

McCool will end up back with Chuck in a "shocking" swerve. Jamie disapears from SD for a bit and becomes more of a regular on ECW. I can't wait for Kelly to do her next love interest angle and they won't even acknowledge Balls.

The SD EC match should be fine once they clear Khali and BDV. Finlay/Batista/Taker are more then competant brawlers and MVP will be a good bumper. However, MVP is likely to be the first guy out. I'm starting to worry they won't do Matt-MVP at WM and if they do, all that momentum they had built up won't be recovered in time.

True but his involvment didn't do anything positive for the company. (who'd induct him? Bigelow is gone and Nash isn't doing it) Mr. T along with Lauper (another "deserving" candidate) were huge players in the popularity of WWF in the mid 1980's. Uecker was practically a WM regular and he'd be fantastic to have do a speech in the likely absence of Heenan. Ali is a legend beyond everyone else. LT would demand money and wouldn't care about it.

Which makes you wonder... Where do you think WM 25 will be? I know a lot of people are saying Glendale, Arizona, but does anyone think it might happen somewhere else? Vegas and Dallas are the other popular predictions.

I suppose Bravo is out of the question? Yeah. I'm fine with MNTV.

Batista is the best option, really. It's quite easy to set up as well. Batista is also left in the dark and unless they feed him the returning TBS, there isn't a top name guy left for Batista we haven't already seen or isn't already in a spot outside of Shawn and Flair and we can probably assume they'll stick with that plan of those two together.

If WWE wanted positive attention for a change, they'd extend an invite to Ali. However, I don't get how Mr. T isn't already in or doesn't do more stuff. He's quite the attention whore and will do anything.

There's only two, Rose and Perry. Not much of a wing right there. Uecker, Tyson, Mr. T and Ali should be ahead of LT. It's a matter of who would actually appear.

Who wouldn't want that?

You can't tell me that having schools/training camps around the country with different trainers who specialize in certain things wouldn't be more beneficiary for talent. Learning how to perform professional wrestling is not unlike any other trade. The more you study from different sources, the more skills you develop. In a just world, they'd have at least 4 schools set up with different practices and have those talents cycle around those schools like they were territories. Now they'll have to cut a great deal of people because they decided to put all their eggs into one basket.

That and being willing to appear. Bruno would have been the second guy in after Andre if he agreed to be there.

At least a couple years ago. Kidman's doing the occasional indy show right now.

This isn't the first time she played a bisexual on a tv show. What's the big deal?

Actually, didn't Spanky do a gimmick where he went by the local minor league baseball/hockey team mascot? I didn't mean Dreamer wearing the local sports teams. I meant like "Ray's Putt-Putt World" and shit like that.

Expect Dreamer to wear a shirt promoting that auto shop next week. That'd be a good gimmick, have him promote local shit.
