  1. Vince McMahon No Longer A Billionaire...

    Not surprising, but it won't break them by any means. Seemed the stocks were a bit inflated, it'll adjust. People have to be questioning how the revenue stream will adjust to PPVs shifting to the WWE Network's monthly subscription deal in the US. From the US side of things, one also has to...
  2. WWE WWE.com Lists: Top 25 Greatest Nicknames

    I wanted to say "Big D" and "Big Daddy Cool" were cool nicknames. But I can't say they worked out very well for Nash considering he drew worse than a vanilla midget while he used those monikers. Seriously, the Bad Guy is probably still one of my all time favorites. It fit the Razor Ramon...
  3. Original WWE Payback Plans for Daniel Bryan, Batista Turns Down Match, Why He's Leaving

    "Blockbuster" is such a relative term and a reflection of whoever wrote the article. It can't really be seen as much of anything until they look at final figures for how much they made in theaters, merchandising, video on demand, etc. I'm sure the term was chosen due to it being a high...
  4. How WWE Plans on Getting Bill Goldberg Signed for WrestleMania

    Goldberg has sometimes said he'd be open to doing a big match for the WWE under the right conditions, especially so his kid could see him work once in person. I don't think we'd ever see him come back to an arrangement like Brock Lesnar's. Certainly won't see him do anything that has him on...
  5. CAN I HAVE SOME DECORUM PLEASE

    I'm digging the new direction with the character. I just wish he'd lose this infatuation with the jacket / cape thing he's been trying to do on his entrance since he came to the WWE. Overall though, I think the guy is getting pretty close to figuring out how to really connect with the audience.
  6. Warrior has passed away

    While some could argue past steroid use could have been a factor, heredity could have been something he couldn't avoid, short of diet, medication, and surgery. A Bleacher Report article cited a deposition from one of the early lawsuits where Warrior spoke of his father and both grandfathers...
  7. Warrior has passed away

    I thought it was a pretty good promo myself. The guy was basically out there saying how no matter what anyone does, it's the fans that decide who they like and what they want. Fans' reactions are part of what makes a special moment legendary, make them seem even bigger by the stories they...
  8. Warrior has passed away

    I'm expecting them to show short highlights going in and out of commercial breaks through the night, maybe a couple full segments at the open and close to honor the man. I'd be good seeing them make the night one of career highlights and matches, but I get the feeling that would be more for...
  9. Washington Post publishes opportunistic smear job on WWE and drug use as a result of Warrior's death

    Lol @ the Andre caption where they pointed out his relatively young death. Nevermind that doctors told him very early in life he's never make it past 40.
  10. Warrior has passed away

    Hysteric, tabloid sensationalism masquerading as journalism. Her interview with Elizabeth Smart says all one needs to know about Nancy Grace. Watch it some time and see what a true piece of crap she is. I didn't see this video until that link was posted because I didn't think the irrelevant...
  11. So Lets Discuss The Streak

    The concussion more than anything may decide whether Taker ultimately retires. He may have decided his body isn't quite there anymore and wants to open up a spot to the new generation of wrestlers. He very well could have just done this as something to give back to help give someone else an...
  12. Warrior has passed away

    I'm not really seeing anything unusual myself, but I'm no doctor. The dude has a very strained gait, but he completely blew out one knee a few years ago working that comeback match in Spain. Even before he totally blew out that knee, he had a very labored walk like had bad wheels. No...
  13. Warrior has passed away

    You just never know when it's someone's time. He's one of those I thought would live a long time. You never heard stories of him indulging, in fact he tended to be like Jack LaLaine as far as believing in engaging in a very disciplined life of vigorous exercise and strict, clean eating...
  14. Raw WWE RAW 31st March 2013 - LIVE Discussion: The Final Showdown

    And it would be rehash of what Rock did as host of WM a few years back, when the match seemingly ended on a double count-out draw and said it had to continue. Total long shot going that route, but I could see them trying to pull some sort of swerve to make the fans think at least for a...
  15. Raw WWE RAW 31st March 2013 - LIVE Discussion: The Final Showdown

    Long shot prediction, but I somehow see Triple H winning the match. Of course he'll cheat somehow, or just pull an angle where the ref is used as his insurance policy. Bryan still works the championship match though via a last second bit of interference by the Wrestlemania host, Hulk Hogan...
  16. WZ Article: Why John Cena Must End The Streak

    Cena will be around a long time yet, unless some catastrophic injury forces him out. I think ending Taker's streak would indeed be another mile post for the guy's reign at the top, and he still remains a top draw. It's old school to have a guy leaving put over the guy remaining. Triple H's...
  17. Raw WWE RAW 17th March 2013 - LIVE Discussion

    Nice Taker / Brock video segment, but someone needs to edit the scripts or pay closer attention when directing the voice actor doing the narration. "Unmerciless" makes no sense.
  18. Where in the World is CM Punk?

    So this video, while very fake, sums up how bitchy some people can get about wrestlers who "turn their back on the WWE". Punk may very well be an ass hat, I don't know him personally. He isn't exactly known for having a gracious attitude with crowds or fans. But this notion about...
  19. SmackDown Live Sin Cara OVER?

    It's not completely far-fetched. And as much as the WWE prefers to give wrestlers a new character and new name, they also have a history of using pre-existing names and characters owned by someone else if the guy is over enough or they feel they can work with that. Seems a lot more rare these...
  20. Possible Mania Match for The Ultimate Warrior

    I could at least see something similar to what they did with Hulk, Eugene and Hassan did at Mania years ago. Not a full on match, but you still got to see the gimmicks and trademark moves.
