[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

Uh huh.

Someone find a picture.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

I believe the WON listed Johnny Fabulous as Cena's dad's gimmick name

[k thx 0]

"Hi, I'm Johns Cena's Dad."

 

"BOOOOOOOOO"

So, which is it? Is he estranged for real, or is he announcing? Because the two kind of contradict each other.

[Guest GoJoe]

Jim Ross had been estranged from the WWE for real...

 

He's obviously now back in the fold and will be announcing.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

HAD been estranged, not IS estranged

"Foley will be writing a 3rd installment of his autobiography, and Tietem Brown is being green lit as a movie."

 

What the hell is there more to tell? Foley's secret life as a drag queen? Does he die at the end of this one?

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Probably his life from the end of Foley is Good to now.

[Rob Anybody 0]

Giant Dalip Singh has been pulled from SD! Post WM plans. He was originally going to be in a 3 way vs Mark Henry and Undertaker at Wrestlemania

 

And we missed out on that dream match?

Gold.

 

 

Not gold, I would hope any other parent with at least one young child would agree with me.

Probably his life from the end of Foley is Good to now.

 

No one cares about Foley's life from then till now.

[Guest Dam(o)nYankees]

Backlash’s line up looks to be: RVD vs Shelton,

SO NICE WE HAD TO SEE IT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Brian]

Can someone post what Meltz wrote on the ESPN poll?

Only Chris Jericho knows the answer to that one.

I found it interesting that Tietam Brown was greenlit to be a movie. Book was pretty good, nothing groundbreakingly awesome, but a very solid effort from a first-time novelist. The movie is gonna be FUCKED UP, though. Anybody else read that book? It involves testicular mutilation, exercising in the nude, analingus, brutal beatings, and Rambo II.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Don't forget the car wreck near the beginning. Seeing THAT on my big screen might warp some people.

[Guest Dam(o)nYankees]

Can someone give me a good reason why they're running that awful Benjamin RVD match again?

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Because they want to prove neither guy can work and thusly justify why they haven't used either guy to their fullest potential yet.

 

I've stopped feeling bad for either guy. Benjamin hasn't improved at all in the past, what, 4 years?

But, but, but, but... He's got talent! They're just not letting him show it God damn it. HHH is holding him down. And racism. Don't forget about that one.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

In 2003 I called Benjamin one of the guys to watch because he did have talent. I was, however, working from the assumption that he would take his athletic gifts and get better with experience. In 3 years he is still where he was at in 2003. He just doesn't know how to work. Part of the blame goes to the WWE because not a lot of people show improvement in their company, but most of the blame goes to Benjamin because it doesn't matter how bad the WWE is, after 3 years, the responsibility is on you to show some improvement.

[The Niggardly King 0]

He's actually gotten worse.
