spman 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/celebrityscoreboard/ Will Sasso's answer is the best. From the way a lot of these responses are worded, I get the impression that the majority of these celebrities don't even have the slightest clue who Vince McMahon even is.

As much as I hate Ashley, I wouldn't bitch so much about her winning the women's title if Trish came out and helped her beat Melina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 I doubt she'll be on-camera, and wouldn't want her to be unless she was coming back (which she certainly is not at this time). She's probably just at fan axxess events (with the other legends) and such, though I could see her emcee'ing the Hall of Fame, as I believe she did emcee'd some Canadian awards show.

Ed Wood Caulfield 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Sometimes I wonder if they even interview these celebrities, or they just make it up. Like those "Wrestler Interviews A Celebrity" interviews on their site. Did Ashley really interview Bow Wow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser_Brody_ 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Macho's still bitter: I think Savage is still mad: "You can callout Hogan all you want, and it's not that I'm a tough guy, it's just that he won't fight anybody. You couldn't find anybody that he'll fight. It's not that he's afraid of me…well, he might be afraid of me, I'm not sure, but as far as getting into a real fight, he just doesn't want to do it. He likes to talk a big game, but he's not that bad. There are no tough guys in wrestling. If you come in and act like you're a tough guy, you're in trouble the second you walk through that dressing room." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Watching some old WWE DVDs and I came across a question that has been bothering for sometime. We all know Kurt Angle was an olympic gold medalist from the 1996 Summer Olympics. But why did he come to the ring with TWO (obviously fake) gold medals while in the WWE, when i believe he only won one (in the heavyweight freestyle division, I think). The other is for the '95 World Championships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming this quote is from Savage, this is hilariously ironic considering that when Hogan & Savage ran into each other backstage at a TNA show in 2003, Savage ran away like a little bitch and even tried to file an unsafe working environment lawsuit against TNA.

cd213 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Is Umaga still sporting that undefeated streak going into 'Mania? I haven't watched RAW in almost 8 months. If he is I read that Lashley finally broke the Master Lock Challange, which means not only is he going to get the rub for breaking the Challange but also for ending Umaga's undefeated streak.

Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 WWE RETURNING TO NYC'S HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM IN JUNE World Wrestling Entertainment will run a Smackdown/ECW matinee house show on Sunday 6/10 at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. That was the original date and venue for the ECW One Night Stand event, which was later moved to 6/3 in Jacksonville, Florida so it appears WWE is honoring the booking. When the venue was booked for 2006, WWE decided to book it for 2007 as well. It should be interesting to gauge the crowd reaction at the show as one of the primary factors in moving the show was concern over how diehard New York City fans would react to WWE's dilution of the ECW brand since its relaunch in June 2006. Tickets for the house show are tentatively scheduled to go on sale in late April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
