    It's called "The Victory" or "The patented move" Please note: DrVenkman has a trademark on the joke that the move is called "The Victory".

    Wow. Melina kicks herself in the back of the head 4-5 times - quite the visual!

    The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania Thread

    I'm surprised Rourke would make such an announcement. You'd think Vince would want the angle to start on wwe programming. I mean why is Rourke after Jericho? Did Jericho badmouth him on wwe.com or something at least?

    Austin did much worse to Mcmahon than kicking him in the head.

    UFC polices JustinTV pretty strongly, does wwe do the same?

    Royal Rumble 2009

    Another spot I think we can expect is for Zeke to keep catching Kendrick after he's thrown over the ropes and putting him back into the match. While the spoiler participant would have been fun as a surprise, folks who want to be surprised shouldn't be on the internet, especially so close to the show. The talent in question should have known better really - Cena knew how to keep his mouth shut last year.

    Or he introduces himself to the person he just eliminated, and when they shake hands, that person pulls him out. OR there will be a bit where he'll enter the ring and introduce himself to everybody in there one at a time, basically stopping the match - then all will gang up on him and toss him, before going back to fighting.

    Randy Orton makes it on ESPN.com

    And he explains why he's a prick to fans - at least some of the time - he's workin' it old school.

    Royal Rumble 2009

    They're going to start the HHH is married to Stephanie behind the curtain reveal in the RR. Orton will already be involved in the match and HHH will make his entrance and go right after Orton, and the announcers will be at a loss of an explanation why. Cowboy Bob Orton will probably be involved in a backstage segment or two with Randy, as they're going to try and sell the boot as a huge deal and big mistake by Orton.

    TSM Wrestling Spotlight: The Big Show

    The Wwe doesn't know how to book somebody his size. They let Matt Morgan walk for some unknown reason after saddling him with a stuttering gimmick, and Khali has gone the way of Kurrgan and Silva for the most part. They build up big guys as a threat, but once they're jobbed out to the champion they really don't work well as undercard guys. I think the other top guys (read Undertaker for one) were threatened by Morgan, a muscled up, cut, seven footer, good looking guy who could work the mic well enough (why they gave him the stuttering gimmick). Also the giants have to be heels for the most part, because of their size advantage, they're always fighting the underdog. And it's hard to keep heels consistently over, because eventually the scrappy face David needs to vanquish Goliath. Only chance to book a giant as a face is to make him act a goof it seems. Big Show's size makes him an upper carder, but he's not in the title picture - so it's hard to use him a lot of the time. I threw out the idea of putting him in the tag division at one time. I still think it could work, I mean Big Show could reasonably beat Primo and Carlito, Kendrick/Zeke or even Miz and Morrison if they were forced to abide by the tag rules. Also since Big Show would be "outnumbered", it would allow for him to be booked as a non-goof giant face. Big Show could also reasonably lose to tag teams as well because afterall it is two-on-one, and given the tag titles are midcard, it would allow for Big Show to be out of the upper card while giving him something to do. It wouldn't hurt tag teams that much to lose to one person as that person is 7ft tall and 400lbs, and it would be competitive matches, rather than DX vs Spirit Squad squashes. Big Show - the One Man Tag Team.

    The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania Thread

    Source: PWInsider.com From sescoops.com (I assume this was ripped off from one of the pay sites but no credit was given) I know it will never happen, but it would be interesting if Rourke, while on wwe programming for ain interview segment or something, was confronted by a wwe wrestler for some reason or another. Rourke could say he wasn't a wrestler but is a fighter(boxr), but the guys he was in the movie with were wrestlers. R-Truth could be involved as he was in the movie, but it could be like Bam Bam vs Lawrence Taylor where Taylor brought back-up - Rourke could bring in some of the indie guys with him so for one night they could live the dream - guys like Necro Butcher and/or the old timers who are still trying to eek out a living on the indie circuit to give them one more night in the spotlight at WM25.

    TSM Talks (to the voices in their head): The Legacy

    Snippets from a recent Randy Orton interview that you can read in full here Harry Smith is the only developmental with the size Orton is looking for, and even then Harry isn't muscled up like Batista was and likely never will be given his wellness strike and familial history. Here is the most up-to-date picture of Harry Smith from last nights FCW taping -

    Rise and Fall of the IWC

    oowrestling.com Online Onslaught didn't pay their domain bills and it was purchased by a squatter who jumped on it because of the traffic volume. It's basically kept around for it's messageboard these days, which is very insular.

    95% of wrestling fans

    More likely that 95% of the fans know wrestling is fake and wouldn't hold scripted television against a legit sports anchor.

    2009 Hall of Fame

    From idiotsrunningawebsite.com Not to mention Flair will draw certain interest on his own, both in helping fill the seats and to draw television viewers. Maybe Terry could request Foley and Dory could request Kurt Angle...

    WWE General Discussion - January 2009

    I get the "loading..." message as well. I just wait a bit and find it on youtube. Truth be told, I think Goldman's two episodes pretty much suck. It's like he's a kids show host, like he should be hosting "Double Dare" or something.

    I got it from this site, which credited the Observer - http://www.idiotsrunningawebsite.net/idiotsrunningawebsitenews/headlines/234665454.php. If it's bogus, just delete all relevant posts on the matter.

    WWE General Discussion - January 2009

    From idiotsrunningawebsite.com Wwe Creative's idiocy never ceases to amaze me. At least it looks like Goldman has some backers as he did get his own wwe.com vid segment (new one out today for those who don't get the dreaded "Loading..." message). So maybe there is some hope for him. If he can get an on-screen interviewer role, at least that will be a foot in the door if you will, because Coach wrestled and Adamle was training to wrestle, so eventually Goldman would get back into the ring. Scotty Goldman would make the Ricky Ortiz gimmick work. Too bad Scotty didn't have the ink and big hair...I guess that's what the wwe decision makers think a tv star is supposed to look like.

    Given Bob's rep, I think he'd be smart to stay off the indie circuit.

    Royal Rumble 2009

    Vince was heeling up on Randy before Randy snapped - I mean fans were chanting for a RKO. Vince has been a heel for most of his on-screen career so the faces shouldn't have any avenging to do, and since Orton is a heel now, other heels won't give a damn either. I don't think many fans could accept McMahon as a face in any feud really. I think Orton HAS to win the Rumble, as it would be a storyline reason why Vince/Stephanie couldn't fire him. Otherwise why was he going to be fired before, but after the kick Vince decides to keep him around? If Orton doesn't win, then the only other Raw competitor I could see winning would be HBK. JBL would then try and buy the title shot from him, essentially giving Michaels financial security for life, but the plucky underdog will not sell it.
