Wow; don't think I've ever had the chance to post first. So, um- how's Essa Rios?
ReplyDeleteIf the Cesaro push was done right last year and he got tired of living in the shadow of Brock/playing 2nd fiddle with Heyman, would you be pumped for a Brock/Cesaro main event at Mania?
ReplyDeleteUhhh, yeah
ReplyDeleteJeff Jarrett. Enough fucking teasing dude!
ReplyDeleteNever in a million years would Vince McMahon let Cesaro be a WrestleMania headliner, let alone WWE champion.
ReplyDeleteI hope Reigns doesn't try to snatch Conan's mug or something.
ReplyDeleteBoD Mania should have a tug of war match. Book it Bayless!
ReplyDeleteI think Vince's plans for a Batista vs. Orton main event at Mania 30 revealed that he was going senile.
ReplyDeleteI think Vince sticking to a Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns main event at Mania 31 reveals that he IS senile.
Exclusive footage from last night's Tug of War for the WWE title!
ReplyDeletehttp://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/tinytoons/images/2/2e/Tug_of_war_with_Arnold_the_Pitbull.png/revision/latest?cb=20140429013434
Just think about what next year will have in store for us....
ReplyDeleteSufferin' Succotash, Conan!
ReplyDeleteImagine Cesaro with a 6-8 month run as US/IC champ after Mania last year. Eventually he drops the belt and Heyman was busy with Brock so he finally explodes. Could be a great match and angle. Not sure if Cesaro can be a #1 guy but the build was available
ReplyDeleteReigns vs Cena, where the crowd boos both wrestlers!
ReplyDeleteSamoa Joe as a challenger to Reigns, despite WWE fans not knowing him. I bet they play it up like he is Reigns cousin too
ReplyDeleteOnly way it works is if Brock beats Reigns to a bloody pulp and he Reigns either gets a fluke win or passes out
ReplyDeleteThey'll just be having fun, Maggle.
ReplyDeleteWay to make your new champ look strong though
ReplyDeleteI wish they did Orton vs Lesnar
ReplyDeleteJBL: "Which one is Reigns? I can't tell 'em apart, Maggle!"
ReplyDeleteBooker: "Are you saying all Samoans look the same?"
Nash, Hogan, Sting, now Samoa Joe - TNA INVASION IS ON
ReplyDeleteA Field Day match
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDelete50 yard dash, hurdles, and rope climbing too
ReplyDeleteI refer you to Barrett, Bad News
ReplyDeleteWaking up at work, hurray for special sections!
ReplyDeleteThat really will be a big test for Reigns. If he can't come across well on those kind of TV shows, that's really going to hurt his star power.
ReplyDeletePlenty of time for that when Lesnar retains
ReplyDeleteThat brings up the point Meltzer said in his epic piece - you wouldn't know if he could be a top guy, but you'd at least try.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how poorly they ended RAW last night. How the hell was that supposed to make Reigns look like a main event guy?
ReplyDeleteI liked the HHH/Sting and Cena/Rusev stuff but that was garbage. And Snoop/Hogan/Axel was a great segment too. That was super fun. But how they ended the show was crap.
It was definitely a scene where you expect their dad to come out of the bedroom, break the belt so they stop fighting over it, then send them to their rooms for the rest of the night.
ReplyDeleteWhile Samoa Joe eats all the hot dogs in Queens check out Flair versus Arn within Rock Star Gary's review of WCW Fall Brawl 1995! It's on Scott's board:

Enjoy!
'OK guys, what we want you to do is go out there and have a tug o' war with the Championship Belt, then 3,2,1 and we're OUT'
ReplyDeleteYou mean you'd rather your two stars have a pull-apart with refs rather than a tug of war? You mean a brawl at the end would have been better than playing 2nd grade recess games or games during company outings?
ReplyDeleteDodgeball?
ReplyDelete"Tell me you didn't just say THAT!"
ReplyDelete31 predictions: Usos win the tag titles, Sheamus wins the battle royal, Bellas win, Sting wins, Bryan wins, Cena wins, Wyatt wins, Orton wins, Reigns wins, Rollins cashes in and wins the title.
ReplyDeleteThrow that in too.
ReplyDelete"How the hell was that supposed to make Reigns look like a main event guy?"
ReplyDeleteYou can apply this question to 90% of what they've done with Reigns since his return from injury.
Sufferin' succotash son you are right about that.
ReplyDeleteRollins cashing in is a scenario I'm negotiating as a solid finish. Anything but babyface Reigns standing tall is okay with me.
ReplyDeleteAnd he looks like a chump. And they took away the best thing about his character for no apparent reason.
ReplyDeleteI'm really kind of stunned Vince doesn't "get" Cesaro. You'd think a freakishly strong dude that can spin full size human beings on his shoulders, hands-free, would be right up Vince's alley.
ReplyDeleteNo way are they jobbing Reigns to Rollins on the same night
ReplyDeleteBoD RAW will be up later today for those who care.
ReplyDeleteGROUP TITLE HUG
ReplyDeleteEVERYBODY GET IN HERE
NO NOT YOU CESARO
EVERYBODY ELSE GET IN HERE
Plus the swing was a money move. Now, it gets an okay pop.
ReplyDeleteCould it have been done? Of course. But just because it COULD be done doesn't mean Vince would've done it. He doesn't "get" Cesaro. Therefore Cesaro isn't going to headline WrestleMania or become WWE champ.
ReplyDeleteI'm just dealing in realism here.
Oh, I think they just may, but I don't see it closing the show.
ReplyDeleteSo Sting-HHH closes? Or Cena-Rusev?
ReplyDeleteWell, sure, but it's obvious that pops don't matter to Vince as much as what he personally pops for.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Nothing would be able to follow it if it happened.
ReplyDeleteI think it's hilarious that the most deadly finisher in the company right now is the Rack Attack.
ReplyDeleteSee, that's the problem. I have no idea what closes the show, because I don't see Sting standing tall to end it, Cena is anti-climactic as fuck, but do you have your new babyface champion getting Batista'd as you go off the air?
ReplyDeleteIt's one of many corners they put themselves in this year.
WWE is always doing things halfassed. I could totally see them hedging their bets by having Reigns beat Lesnar but put the title on someone else.
ReplyDeleteTraditionally, WM doesn't end with a heel standing tall.
ReplyDeleteAnd while he's not a great talker, neither is Reigns. And while he doesn't have great hair, neither did Austin, Hogan, or Rock, his three biggest stars.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, don't know what Vince doesn't get.
Exactly, it seems like we either get a "that was the main event?" moment or a copy of Mania 2000 with Rollins standing tall.
ReplyDeleteThey've tried to hard with Reigns to end WM like that, for me if they were smart they'd have Brock pulp him so he gets some respect when he wins but it also wouldn't surprise me that Brock gets the duke. The Rollins stuff is the one thing I don't think they'll do
ReplyDeletehttp://deadspin.com/jon-gruden-breaks-down-the-battle-royal-field-in-his-ow-1693301830
ReplyDeleteAlso hilarious how they are using title matches to build to a non-title tag match.
ReplyDeleteSufferin' succotash,this is brilliant
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKUMV_YXCGw
Going to be sad seeing Joe as a dancing Samoan.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a God, then Triumph The Insult Comic Dog will interrupt Roman's interview on Conan tonight.
ReplyDeleteI don't get Vince's obsession with wrestlers with long, luxurious hair.
ReplyDeleteHis three biggest stars -- Hogan, Austin, and Rock -- all have baldness issues.
He can dance with Dean.
ReplyDeleteMisread that as tittie matches.
ReplyDeleteDancing and calf muscles.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine Vince hates Europeans unless they're Irish because of his dad. You'd figure Antoni O'Cesaro would work...
ReplyDeleteMight as well be that.
ReplyDeleteAn ESPN documentary on NXT sounds like it would be awesome, albeit a bit strange. I really hope Vince recognizes what he has and leaves NXT alone.
ReplyDeleteCena isn't exactly rocking a mane either, nor Randy Orton or Batista. Strangely though, some of the worst drawing champions all had full heads of hair.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't watching too intently, but Raw was okay overall. The end with Lesnar and Reigns grabbing at the belt was really dumb only overshadowed by the 6 wrestlers climbing the ladder and throwing each other off when there was no match.
ReplyDeleteIt would be dumb to Tommy Dreamer Reigns, but at this point it may just be their best option considering how poorly thought out this whole angle has been.
ReplyDeleteTEAM CHALLENGE SERIES!
ReplyDeleteFat chance, especially if NXT keeps getting more positive coverage than RAW and keeps selling out shows.
ReplyDeleteThe torture rack looked badass back in the day. It's s shame its spiritual descendant found its way to a worse wrestler than Lex.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that I find every single participant of the Diva's match at Mania attractive.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to find out what his NXT name will be
ReplyDeleteWhat is more likely: Vince takes NXT and tries to make it more like Raw? Or Vince sabotages it and lets it die?
ReplyDeleteEven two of the "best" long-haired champs: Shawn and Bret had some hair issues. Shawn lost a good amount of hair on the front from Bret pulling it out (or it just receding, take your pick) and Bret's hair was just gross with the Exxon Valdez oil slick in it.
ReplyDeleteDoes more damage to her knees than her opponent
ReplyDeleteSo should I actually go to Wrestlemania next year considering I've stopped watching the product pretty much completely but I've never been to a big show of any kind, much less a Wrestlemania?
ReplyDeleteMake it more like Raw, which sabotages it and kills it off?
ReplyDeleteBrock Lesnar has a crewcut.
ReplyDeleteBlack Lesnar was bald/shaved.
Punk and Bryan on the other hand...
Even the way he won the Rumble wasnt exactly career making.
ReplyDeleteAnd neither Michaels or Hart were huge draws, especially compared to the Bald Trinity.
ReplyDeleteThe latter option. Remember how he really weakened Smackdown! when it was outdrawing RAW in 2002 or so? The dude doesn't understand how internal competition is not the same as external competition.
ReplyDeleteI'd argue Vince has already been sabotaging NXT when you look at acts like Bo Dallas.
Uh....no?
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, the first Wrestlemania had Hogan fight Piper in a title match a month before to set up the tag match main event..
ReplyDeleteI've been to two manias and it's so fun. There's so much wrestling related stuff to do all weekend. I highly recommend it. I'm going this weekend and can't wait.
ReplyDeleteWomen don't count.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the WWE random name generator should be fun.
ReplyDeleteFunny profile name. I remember seeing Vader squash Randy Hogan in 1993 or so and Jesse Ventura saying stuff like "Hogan is a lot smaller than I remember, Tony!"
Going to a Wrestlemania is always worth it as far as spectacle, but this year's version is shaping up to be one of the worst so I wouldn't spend a ton on the ticket(s). Fan Axxess is more fun IMO though.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine it being a bad weekend. Go for the story if nothing else. Unless it's a travel ballache or too much money.
ReplyDeleteMick Foley tweeted will be inducting Kevin Nash: https://twitter.com/realmickfoley/status/580244461969485824
ReplyDeleteThat... seems like an odd choice.
Diesel was the shits, and HBK wasn't much better in 1996. I don't recall the Undertaker doing great business in 1997; he was overshadowed for much of his reign by the Hart Foundation. Triple H had some dog years as WHC.
ReplyDeleteI think reigns should win the belt on Sunday,then Rollins runs out to cash in. Reigns snatches the briefcase from his hands then we end wrestlemania with a mitb tug of war.
ReplyDeleteI was at the barber shop this weekend and some dude kept talking about how his son was all obsessed with Paige.
ReplyDeleteBiff will now cry.
ReplyDeleteGotta make up for that refereeing blunder at Bad Blood 2003 somehow.
ReplyDeleteLol, true, but I'm sure that those three all worshipped Bret ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved that part of Luger's WCW run in 1997 when he Torture Racked everything in sight, including the big guys.
ReplyDeleteTraditionally, people give a shit about the face in the main event.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't blame him.
ReplyDeleteVery weird choice. I'd expect hbk or hhh.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how every time WWE gets a Diva with a unique look - AJ, Paige, and Lana for example -- they're much more over with fans than the typical Kelly Kelly-like models.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they'd learn.
Even Magic Johnson would be a better choice!
ReplyDeleteYeah I was thinking about bringing those up, but didn't.
ReplyDeleteWarrior had tons of hair too.
I'm still convinced that Hulk Hogan has no idea who Bret Hart is.
ReplyDeleteThat would also apply to Lita in the early 2000s.
ReplyDeleteKelly Kelly might be the least over diva ever that they tried pushing as the face of Division. Did anyone want her beating Beth?
ReplyDeleteMy dad was at your barber shop?
ReplyDeleteSee ya there maybe
ReplyDeleteWith a tear in his eyes, Austin confessed to Bret that Bret's hair could work a 5 star match better than Austin's now shaved blond tresses.
ReplyDeleteI guarantee everyone here will shit bricks if the WWE makes a Samoan Four Horsemen the night after Wrestlemania with Reigns, Samoa Joe and the Uso's.
ReplyDeleteThat is so strange. Why not HBK, Hunter, Hall, Austin, Hogan, or some ring rat? Did Foley and Nash ever wrestle each other? I guess there's some odd Vinnie Vegas vs. Cactus Jack match out there somewhere, but...okay. It really should be Reigns inducting him with Nash passing the worst drawing WWE champ of all time title on to Roman.
ReplyDeleteAnd Chyna before her.
ReplyDeleteI hated the Kelly Kelly push. She had that fake smile and Lawler kept gawking at her in a creepy way.
ReplyDeleteHitman had great hair!
ReplyDeleteWith tears in his eyes, Austin confessed to Bret that he shaved his head knowing that his hair would always be a 4/10 compared to Bret's.
ReplyDeleteI still mark out a bit watching old footage of Chyna just beating the tar out of some of the superstars. It was just so unique at the time.
ReplyDeleteIf Raw truly wants to be episodic, they should start having Raw pick up exactly where the previous one left off, and open Monday night with Lesnar and Reigns still tugging on the belt.
ReplyDeleteThere was that weird bitter Bundy interview recently where you could tell he still viewed Shawn Michaels as some skinny guy from the Rockers. Bret is probably still a prelim tag guy to Hogan
ReplyDeleteIf motor oil is your thing, sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hart isn't even closer to Hogan-Austin-Rock on the drawing scale.
It was obnoxious. For as much as I get annoyed with the Divas division today, it's Trish and Lita compared to 2011.
ReplyDeleteThat would be such a train wreck, but I'd watch more often, at least the beginning and ending, just to get more laughs.
ReplyDeleteWell that would actually be somewhat unique and interesting. But what will really happen is the Authority will come out and make mean faces and send Kane and Big Show after Reigns.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember Foley mentioning Nash much in his books, so it's not like they were super-close backstage
ReplyDeleteI randomly came across a match between her vs Molly Holly and Ivory the other day and the pop she got was bigger than most main eventers get today.
ReplyDeleteHa, it was sort of funny because the barbers had no idea what he was talking about. He was like "But I told my boy, those women are HIGH MAINTENANCE!"
ReplyDeleteValid point, which is why I said they're kind of in a corner here. You generally don't end WM with a heel standing tall, but you also don't have any faces to end WM standing tall that will get the right reaction, a big enough reaction or won't be anti-climactic.
ReplyDeleteOnly if it's managed by Rikishi and he says "We're doing this for the people!"
ReplyDeleteI still say Austin vs. Chyna at SummerSlam '99 would've done massive numbers.
ReplyDeleteThat was the definition of a squash. Not sure he wrestled again after that, Vader beat the shit out of him!
ReplyDelete"Bret Hart? The guy who wrestled in that tag match with Danny Davis while I was bodyslamming the 800 pound Andre the Giant?"
ReplyDeleteDo we even know if Nash will even make it to the HOF ceremony? He might pull his quad getting out of a jeep or something.
ReplyDeleteOnce Reigns was the guy for sure, his already weak push turned into total limp fish.
ReplyDeleteGo back through the history of modern wrestling. Being bald or going bald seriously seems to be an advantage.
ReplyDeleteVerne Gagne, Hogan, Austin, Savage. King Kong Bundy and Earthquake even.
HBK wasn't God mode until he started balding.
Meanwhile, Nash and Hall couldn't move the needle in a big way until they got Hogan in there.
Bad hair seems to help a little as well.
"We're Making A Difference™"
ReplyDeleteWhy does WWE keep booking these segments where wrestlers want to grab the title? It means NOTHING. Do they think we think that's how titles change hands?
ReplyDeleteAustin would've gone home before he did that match!
ReplyDeleteSomeone must've seen the concept somewhere in a mainstream movie (not with a title but something else) and think it's an impressive plot device.
ReplyDeleteProbably, but I mean he would've gone over. Have Triple H help Chyna cheat to help Austin keep some of his heat of getting beat down at times by a woman.
ReplyDelete"Stone Cold vs. the country of Chyna...you can't do that! She's woman!" - Vince
ReplyDeleteVince Sr would have pushed Cesaro to the moon!
ReplyDeleteNope and Nash has done about a zillion podcasts and shoots over the years and I can't remember him once mentioning Foley either. Maybe they can talk about how frugal they are with their money because they're among the only wrestlers I know of that have never had financial issues post wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all aware of that. Lying in the corner for 15 minutes doesn't exactly make you look like a tough guy.
ReplyDeleteJim Duggan is currently the WWE European, Hardcore and Cruiserweight champion after finding all 3 belts in the trash
ReplyDeleteHe's a machine now that he's got down to 225lbs. Lucha Jim.
ReplyDeleteWhile it is confusing, I'm all for it. Mick will probably do a good job with it and I'm a little burned out by clique appearances at these ceremonies.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Women's Champion
ReplyDeleteAnyone else note that Hogan continued to pad the WrestleMania III attendance 28 years later? 93K was always the inflated number but it was really 94,000 jack
ReplyDeleteThat's a hilarious point. It's like, do the Cleveland Browns gets to be Super Bowl champions if they sneak into Patriots HQ and steal the trophy?
ReplyDeleteOh God if there was footage of Hogan running into Bret backstage at Mania with him calling him Stu followed by Bret saying Stu was his dad and Hogan responding, "Sorry, Owen" and walking off, that might be the funniest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteRikishi 2.0
ReplyDeleteOnly on-screen WWE interaction I remember with them was Foley reffing the Nash/HHH HIAC match.
ReplyDelete.......how will they pull off Reigns not talking on Conan? Though I guess Conan is taped earlier in the day so maybe thy are letting the WWE production people edit it before it airs.
ReplyDeleteOr Steve Nash.
ReplyDeleteIt's their way of trying to make titles seem important.
ReplyDeleteYea..I was like oh come on we all know 93 is BS but you are now going to add another grand
ReplyDeleteAnd even that was one of those "ooookay...why is Foley here?" moments. Yeah, he's the HIAC guy, but it was still odd.
ReplyDeleteIt's fucking dumb. Call your opponent a pussy whose ass is going to get kicked. Don't try and take it like a 4-year-old.
ReplyDeleteFoley did give him some advice when he was Vinnie Vegas - basic stuff about what a big man does and doesn't do.
ReplyDeleteVince's mind = the title is sooo important everyone wants to get their hands on it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Roman will try to dance before a commercial and be told to sit perfectly still
ReplyDeleteShould have been CM Punk.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked pretty badass when Abyss and A-Train did it.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that in all other sports, most athletes won't touch the trophy if they haven't won it before because they consider it bad luck.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that's a moot point for the IC title since I'm pretty sure even I had a 2 day run with in back in '08.
In two years time it will be 100,000 fans, including the Rolling Stones and the Pope at ringside to see their records get broken. Paul McCartney sent a text congratulating him and he and Andre did a podcast with Roddy Piper afterwards that was aired on YouTube. The next day Hogan and Andre broke Google and it took them another 8 years to get the internet back up and working again.
ReplyDeleteDid the podcast happen before or after Andre died the next day after the slam?
ReplyDeleteIs this going to be so they can take more shots at WCW for the Fingerpoke?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will, it's just that Foley is probably not even in the top 20 of people I'd associate with Nash's career.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nash gave him advice on conditioner.
ReplyDeleteThis would be gold.
ReplyDeleteHe can send a text.
ReplyDeleteMoves are what big men don't do apparently.
ReplyDeleteI didn't say it was a GOOD way. It's just their way.
ReplyDeleteSadly it happened during it.
ReplyDeleteAndre on a podcast is a funny thought.
ReplyDeleteShould be Jim Cornette so he can recap Nash's six moves.
ReplyDeleteIf you are discussing this on social media remember to use #SlamMeBoss
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the WWE hasn't redubbed all the old footage with Cole, Lawler, and JBL and inserted hashtags.
ReplyDeleteThey probably would but then Vince would get pissed when hashtags from the 80s and Attitude Era are trending over #WWERomanEmpire
ReplyDeleteAmbrose and Truth are the only 2 in the match to not of held it before and of course they did most of the stealing of it so yea.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess HHH can only induct so many people..Hall is probably a bad idea..X-pac....bahahah. Hogan probably didn't want to do it...so they figured get a fan fave who is fun to listen too.
ReplyDeleteThey did some feud in TNA didn't they? Not sure it ever became a match. Nash didn't do too many matches
ReplyDeleteI mostly watched the hulu version of raw...was there any mention of Sheamus?
ReplyDeleteor after weeks and weeks of Sheamus returns videos is he not even
showing up at mania?
I used to mark out when a babyface like Magnum TA would drop Ric Flair in some sort of confrontation, grab the NWA belt and either stare at it or hold it up before dropping it back on the champ. That works because it makes the title seem important, but also the babyface wants to win the belt not take it.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading once that Hogan and Owen were actually on
ReplyDeletereally good terms with each other. Can’t remember where though.
I think you're right -- wasn't Foley commish or something and he hated the Band or whatever nWo 4.0 was calling themselves? But does this even count since only WWE matters?
ReplyDeleteI can't get mad at Hogan for doing it anymore. He's an old man.
ReplyDeleteThe Superdome/Silverdome.
Just found this photo from Owen Hart's funeral while googling something else, I'd never seen it before: http://www.dory-funk.com/stu%20and%20wrestlers.jpg
ReplyDeleteMichaels? DDP?
ReplyDeleteCould Bret put on a suit, for God's sake? Hogan even has his black bandana on.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Hogan was in his Stone Cold F.U.N.B. phase.
ReplyDelete
