Anyone give a damn about the "supposed feud" between 50 Cent and Kayne will be settled today?

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Kevin Nash continues to push TNA Wrestling to sign Scott Hall and Sean Waltman. Nash has told TNA officials that Hall has cleaned himself up and is back in wrestling shape. TNA has sent feelers out to Scott Hall on getting a potential deal done and have continued interest in Waltman.

Speaking on behalf of a lot of Cubs fans, the general feeling with Sammy is that we were deceived, not just by his surely steroid-influenced performance, but by his character as well, and no matter how many homers he hit, he's been removed from the pantheon of Cub greats in the minds of many, even though his career achievements would otherwise put him among Banks, Santo, Sandberg, et al. You may notice that not only is #21 not retired, not only is it not out of circulation, but it's already been given to Jason Marquis. I think that sums up how the organization feels about Sammy, and the fans agree, so kudos to them for doing the right thing and washing their hands of him. EDIT: Today's development: = I just read a story in my local paper on Sosa and how with his career winding down he is accepting the fact that he no longer plays everyday. Just being a humble vet. I am actually surprised Sosa has that image now in Chicago. Imagine if "Bartman" never interferred and Sosa got the Cubs to the World Series and won the thing? Would we have a LEGEND in Chicago then?

So I was thinking about BAD CONTRACTS in the NBA. After much thought, would the correct answer be for fewest bang for the most buck be...... JEROME JAMES?

All these recollections of WCW has got me itching for a Rise and Fall of the WCW DVD. Damnit WWE, give me the DVD. At least give us one pure WCW DVD.

My mind is cloudy during this period, but wa Ahmed acting like a heel feuding with Austin? Was the crowd mixed since Ahmed was also a face? Or was it 100% PURE AUSTIN 3:16 crowds?

That was an interesting Raw. I knew from the beginning of this thread it would be a letdown. Too bad Jericho was not the kid.

Does anyone read WWE magazine? There was an ad in one of the issues a few months ago that hyped up a special "500th issue". Does anyone know anything about this?

Why did Ahmed Johnson join the Nation again? Also, why was he kicked out of the Nation so soon? Did it bomb or something? Heel Ahmed looked like one scary dude. Steve Austin vs. Ahmed Johnson could've worked as a mid-card feud for the IC title in my opinion.

From wwe.com: So I guess Cena will drive a zamboni down the ring?

From wwe.com I'd like to say Big Daddy V just for kicks, but I have a feeling this is going to be a let down. I'm actually surprised they mention Stevie Richards in the Raw preview as well.

Too bad Hennig wasn't still around. Imagine a mark out moment if Mr. Perfect were to bust out that sports jacket and revise the "executive consultant" role once again. I think that right there would end all the talk about "Credibility" issues.

I know it's a stretch but there's a part of me that is hpoing Punk makes the whole ECW brand over, gets himself even more over and makes ECW at least the #2 show on the brand. I would really like to see Punk hold onto the title for quite sometime, but we'll see where that goes.

So it's just down to Cena and Austin for superstar DVD's? Is that Shawn Michaels actually official or not?

After posting something in another thread about Shawn Michaels and The Rock, what was the orignal reason for the heat between the two? I believe it has something to do with HHH?

When I think put over and jobbing, for some reason I think THE ROCK. Is it fair to say he tried to make Jericho a star TWICE within 6 months? I think he truly put over Jericho as a World Champion when he beat him for the WCW title and when he established him as a heel at the Royal Rumble. It's too bad Austin and HHH sandbagged Jericho from a great run as world champion. Also, would it be fair to included the Rock putting over Mankind on the RAw where he beat him to become World Champion? Also, I never saw the match but did Rocky put over Angle at No Mercy 2000 when he dropped the title to him? Rock-HHH ladder match to put over Hunter? I guess the Rock was the total package. Had everything, over as hell with the crowd and never bitched about doing a job, UNLESS you name is Shawn Michaels.

If the wrestling industry starting thinking like that all the time then they wouldn't be able to do half the shit that they do in the first place. There wouldn't be anything wrong with the proposed Flair angle, and the fans would've been into it in a big way over time. and in the end, as long as the FANS buy it, who gives a crap what Hunter and others think.

How did Bob Holly replace Avatar during the 1995 Survivor Series?

That Hunter quote is a new one, nice heel turn in the creative meetings. It was simple, they should've given Flair the belt during the World Title battle royal.

In his 6 years in the WWE, I would've said it was a flop, but I'm glad he got a Title run eventually. Too bad he couldn't go out one last time as Booker T.

I guess the WWE could certainly use Lashley right now. Just curious here, did the WWE ever have Lashley and Batista feud? I don't think that they have and maybe a freshly turned heel Lashley vs. Batista in a powerhouse program once he returns?

With everything going on in the WWE locker room from MVP, to Booker, Flair, the 10 suspended guys, etc...... Is ANYONE happy in the WWE locker room?

Honest question to you all: Was the Ultimate Warrior still over in 1996? Was the panick move worth it for the WWF for those few months? Should he have gotten a WWF world title run and Michaels' run abruptly ended? Would HBK vs. Warrior face vs. face match work?

Does anyone know who Eddie was suppose to defend the World Heavyweight Title against if the storyline went ahead and he didn't die? After defeating Batista was Rey his next opponent?

After re-watching One Night Stand 2005, how the hell did Sandman get into such tip-top shape compared to what he looked like in 2005? I mean, DAMN, he looks great today compared to then.
