Oh I fully expect in about 2 months for his entrance to be taken away and for him to be getting squashed by Alberto del Rio as they prepare ADR for his next two month push.

Don't forget changing his name to just Rose

[Brigstocke]

i can't get on board with this Adam Rose entrance... The bus should be driving into the arena and they should have paid whatever it took to keep the original entrance music.

WORLD GOES WILD! WOOOOO!!!!

[Brigstocke]

Bo's new entrance from the latest NXT better be kept in its entirety for the main roster second debut or heads will roll like a Westerosi Wedding.

Blame the original band of the song for that.

The story going along is the band immediately demanded the WWE to stop using their song. The WWE ended up making a knockoff version which has been selling well enough that the band has been begging the WWE to drop the knockoff and go back using their version. WWE's been refusing their requests.

Supposedly either the WWE got the rights from the band's studio without the band knowing or the band reconsidered giving those rights and ended the deal.

Rose has a pretty cool entrance for his gimmick. Quite a catchy tune.

Too bad he will most likely end up working dark matches with Brodus Clay. Cuz WWE.

They could have left him in NXT to wrestle Brodus.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I must watch this Connor video. :(

[Mr. Nerfect]

Random Noid thoughts:

* I'm really digging The Shield together as faces. Each has developed their own unique personality. Roman Reigns is the cool badass; Dean Ambrose is the crazy guy you just love to love; and Seth Rollins absolutely shines as a high-octane hero. That match against Evolution was a classic and I can't wait for the next battle between them. I also think they could build to a pretty highly anticipated Sheamus vs. Ambrose US Title match for SummerSlam or something. Although Ambrose seems "above" the belt for now.

* Love Paige, but people haven't been conditioned to take Divas seriously. Got no clue where they go now. I actually think a heel turn for Natalya would be the best main roster decision they can make. Paige beats her and Nattie is all "Congratulations honey!" then attacks her from behind.

* Rusev vs. Swagger would be awesome. Especially with Lana and Zeb Colter at ringside. Hearing Colter promo on Lana would be money.

* Steven Richards was always pretty good. His credibility was always hurt after Right to Censor, which was a fun role, but it was just too hard to take Richards that seriously after it as anything more than a hard-working babyface who ultimately falls short. He had a pretty long stint with the WWE, however, and had some great moments with the company. It wouldn't be unusual for the WWE to bring him in as a trainer. He seemed to get all aspects of the business fairly well.

Creatively, I'd have loved it if Richards had gotten a tag team run with a guy who had far more credibility than him. Imagine Richards teaming with a Dave Batista-type, or something like that. If Richards managed to somehow get his hands on a 2nd or 3rd tier title (like the IC Title, or more likely, the European Title when it was around), I think he could have had a fun Honky Tonk Man-style run.

I want to know who Zeb Coulter had covered up on his Deportation List Sign

I think it was Adam Rose.

I think maybe the sign was made with all the names written on it, probably to save time or so the handwriting wasn't different or whatever, and then Adam Rose's name was covered up.

Next week, I'm expecting Zeb and Swagger to come out with that sign, but with Adam Rose's name being visible and Zeb saying that he added Rose's name after what happened last week.

Blame the original band of the song for that.

The story going along is the band immediately demanded the WWE to stop using their song. The WWE ended up making a knockoff version which has been selling well enough that the band has been begging the WWE to drop the knockoff and go back using their version. WWE's been refusing their requests.

Supposedly either the WWE got the rights from the band's studio without the band knowing or the band reconsidered giving those rights and ended the deal.

I just went and listened to the original version as I've never heard it before. Apparently, the band's name is Above Envy. Never heard of them before and I get the feeling they're kicking themselves now. Pretty stupid move from them. Personally, if I had a band, and the WWE used one of our songs, even without asking us, I wouldn't complain as I know that the WWE using the song would most likely lead to more fans and maybe more work with the WWE in the future, like what happened with Rev Theory.

Before the WWE used those guys, I had never heard of them, then suddenly, Rev Theory songs were pretty much all over the place in the WWE.

But anyway, I listened to the original and I personally wasn't a fan. The WWE/CFO$ version is better in my opinion.

* Steven Richards was always pretty good. His credibility was always hurt after Right to Censor, which was a fun role, but it was just too hard to take Richards that seriously after it as anything more than a hard-working babyface who ultimately falls short. He had a pretty long stint with the WWE, however, and had some great moments with the company. It wouldn't be unusual for the WWE to bring him in as a trainer.

If Richards managed to somehow get his hands on a 2nd or 3rd tier title (like the IC Title, or more likely, the European Title when it was around), I think he could have had a fun Honky Tonk Man-style run.

I was thinking about the European Championship when I was typing my Richards spiel. I miss that title. It would have been pretty cool to see Richards be a crazy Heel and bring it back at one point, but it wouldn't be officially active. He would just carry it around claiming to be European Champion but nobody would want to face him for it as it's not been officially reactivated. That would then lead to Richards claiming to be the best European Champion in WWE history and also claim that everyone is afraid off him.

This would slowly lead to Richards turning Face, then some Heel who's Intercontinental Champion would mock Richards, saying that he's a joke and how the European Championship means nothing, which would be the point when Richards would turn full Face. Richards would then play mind games and manage to get the Heel to offer him a Intercontinental Championship match, by claiming that the Heel is just like everyone else and that he's scared to face him and how the European Championship is better than The Intercontinental Championship. The Heel would get mad hearing that, from Richards of all people, and challenge Richards to a match for his own Intercontinental Championship to prove him wrong. Richards quickly accepts and leaves, leaving the Heel confused at first, then realising what he's just done to himself.

The Heel would come into the match really confident but Richards wins the match and the Intercontinental Championship to the surprise of the Heel, and the crowd goes nuts. It then turns out the whole European Championship thing was all a plan by Richards to get an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship.

I see why you do this kind of stuff Noid. It's fun. :y:

Well, in this particular case, it is probably so that their calls can be heard by the camera as well.

Well yeah, that's obvious. But I've came across people doing that when I'm on the bus or sitting in class and even when I'm at McDonalds.

Dirtsheets:

What we do know about Tough Enough is that they are starting on plans for it. The show will be filmed at the Performance Center in Orlando, with a season filmed over 30 to 40 days. We don’t have a date for it, but it is believed filming will start in June, if all goes according to current plans. An idea batted around is for it to have all “Andy Leavine’s.” The last Tough Enough had two “ringers,” so to speak, Christina Crawford and Leavine, who were already under contract, and the rest came from tryouts. There is talk to limit it to talent already under contract. The idea would be that it would be talent getting ready to appear on NXT that they expect to eventually make the main roster, with the idea if you follow Tough Enough, you’ll see them first, as the concept, perhaps even throwing in some name indie guys who haven’t started on TV yet.

People bought more merchandise for The Ultimate Warrior in the month of April than anyone else, including John Cena. The internet merchandise numbers were Warrior first, followed by Cena, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, The Wyatt Family, The Shield, Evolution and Hulk Hogan. At live events, Cena's sales are so far ahead of everyone else that it's not even close. The latest best-sellers at arenas have been Cena, Bryan, Randy Orton, Warrior, Rob Van Dam, Brock Lesnar, The Wyatts, Batista and Sin Cara has broke into the #9 spot.

WWE has changed other plans going forward. WWE, right now, is looking at the top four singles babyfaces for down the line to be John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and Sheamus. This was the plan as of a little more than a week ago. The last time an internal list was made, Orton, Batista and Roman Reigns were near the top, right behind Cena and Bryan, with Sheamus as the big names planned as the top faces for down the line

New WWE United States Champion Sheamus was reportedly involved in a physical altercation with Sin Cara at this week's WWE TV tapings in New York.

No other details are confirmed at this point except for that Cara got the better of Sheamus.

Also, nice veteran instincts by the kid to hook the leg. WWE obviously had big plans for The Crusher with him going over HHH clean and in record time. Too bad his carreer was cut so short. He was going places.

Cons: Seems to be utter shit on the mic and that would probably hamper him from ever main eventing or anything. Also, cool name would probably be changed to "Jerrell Sampson" upon being signed.

The next Ezekial Jackson/Big E/Titus O'Neil.

[Emperor Smeat]

Many fans have been wondering why NWA, WCW and UWF TV (Mid-South) TV has not been added to the WWE Network at this time. There are a few reasons why they haven't been added.

The first thing is that all of the material that WWE has digitized has to be cleaned up.

Once that is done, WWE legal has to check the footage to make sure there are no issues with music rights.

Then the footage is sent for any additional editing as well as the footage being closed captioned for the hearing impaired.

Once all of that is done, the footage is then uploaded to the data base that houses the footage for the network.

Know in WCW's case, there is a big chunk of footage that can't be fixed or needs other sources because of how badly WCW handled their library.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dirtsheets (all from the Observer):

I’m told that there is a change in plans regarding breaking up The Shield. I take that to mean the breakup plans from earlier this year that were considered delayed for a while because of the feeling they were getting over strong as a face trio, are not even being talked about for any time soon. Originally the break-up was going to have already happened ... What that would seem to mean is they are going forward now with The Shield as a group based on several months out projections (what they recommend to those they do business with when it comes to marketing is based on creating things now that won’t hit the marketplace for months) as opposed to a Reigns singles push, and they are bullish on Cesaro as a babyface within a few months.

The idea of giving wrestlers time off to recharge and heal up has been talked about as a strategy down the line. The feeling right now is that may be a good thing, but the depth doesn’t allow it. There is trepidation right now about the idea of consistently running shows without either Cena or Bryan as the advertised headliner.

There is talk of moving NXT tapings to bi-weekly instead of every four weeks. The negative is obviously greater expense for a show they aren’t getting paid much for. The positive is the show will be better, since at a lot of the tapings, the crowd is hot for the first two shows and starts dying off after that. It’s also more competition for TNA if/when TNA returns to Orlando after its run of shows for most of the summer out of Bethlehem, PA and New York.

As best we can tell, WWE hasn’t contacted anyone from the March tryout camp (the one with Kevin Steen, ACH, Rocky Romero and Roderick Strong) at this point

Well, yes. But not just that.

There seems to be a trend of "big, muscular black men" that get pushed based on their look and amount to very little. Zeke went nowhere and got released recently. Big E won the IC Title, lost his surname, did very little, then lost the IC Title. Titus was fine in a tag team, someone "saw something in him" (hint: he's big, muscular, and black) and broke him away into singles competition where he's done so very little.

Maybe this guy will buck the trend?

Might be done with TNA by then since his contract ends later this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Because of this recent obsession with big men dropping "unneccessary" parts from their names. Rusev, Cesaro, and no more Langston for Big E. They'll likely do this more for no real reason because WWE marketing.

It kind of reminds me of once upon a when, and they started putting everyone's "nicknames" in the middle of their name unilaterally (For example, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase became Ted "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase, or Randy "The Macho Man/King" Savage, etc.,) simply because they felt like it.

George is very well spoken. It's pretty good.

The ones to avoid are Honky Tonk Man, Brutus Beefcake who are both full of it and Barry Windham who is very dry. Venis and Rikishi are boring and im surprised Rikishi didnt try and blow himself.

Nash, Cornette, Superstar Billy Graham, Bruno Sammartino, X Pac, Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Larry Zbyzsko and Greg Valentine'S are all great. Ivory'S and Russo's are good and Vader'S is decent.

Bret Hart is doing a WWE 1994 and Cornette is doing WCW 1988 coming soon.

[whiteyford]

Got hold of the Steele one, Shane Douglas doing ECW '94 I think and Al Snow booking the Attitude Era.

He hasn't been that bad so far. He just sort of mentioned it in passing, saying they were off with each other backstage or whatever. Figured if it was anything 'serious' it'd be well known.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dirtsheets:

John Cena reportedly wants to work with Big E. at some point down the line. It's possible that they'll do something after SummerSlam. We reported several months ago that Cena and Big E. are very good friends and Cena was the one that lobbied WWE management to give him a push.

Last night's episode of TNA Impact Wrestling drew a 0.86 cable rating with 1.06 million viewers. This is down from last week's 1.131 million viewers and 0.93 rating.

After last night's Impact Wrestling tapings, Jeremy Borash announced that they did not know when they will be back to tape future editions of Impact.

Dixie Carter also confirmed this on Twitter, stating that they will be "headed to NYC for a while." She also mentioned that there was nothing on the books for TNA to return to Universal Studios.

Impact episodes are currently taped up until June 12th, which is right before TNA Slammiversary. They have a live Impact taping in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in the middle of June, which is likely going to have more than one episode being filmed.

After this, there will be TNA tapings in New York City, which will carry the company through August.

David Benoit's pro wrestling debut ended up being cancelled. There's more in the new Observer, but the gist is that he was never actually trained by anyone and Smith Hart still tried to get him to work on the show, anyway. Once Chris Jericho and Harry Smith (David's closest friends in wrestling) intervened, it was a matter of time before Chavo Guerrero pulled out and the whole thing stopped.

There continues to be talk about putting WWE United States Champion Sheamus into the Evolution group at some point. It's possible that whenever Batista does leave to do movie promotional work, the Evolution group will remain.

Bo Dallas will make his return to the main roster at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Greensboro, North Carolina

Word is that we will be seeing a lot more angles done on the WWE Network pre and post-shows for RAW, SmackDown and pay-per-view events. There's been talk within WWE of tightening up these shows and doing angles on them that would lead to the next WWE TV show or pay-per-view. These changes are expected to start taking place soon.

Kalisto impressed me on NXT this past week. Made me mark out like when I first saw Tajiri. He's small even for a small guy, but there's an energy there that I like. His team with Ricardo Rodriguez could be fun.

[Optimus Bone 69]

Do any of the older guys actually enjoy Wwe these days or like my myself watch when your drunk in the hope of something good
Uk fans i remember the good old days when you had 4 hours back to back of insane shit on a friday
which was the main reason i refused to touch my now wife in the vagina on a friday
ya dig?

[Mr. Nerfect]

So is Chris Sabin a free agent now? Would love to see him and Alex Shelley re-unite The Motor City Machine Guns. Those guys in the WWE would be insane. Shelley, especially, had some of that charm that could have allowed him to survive as an actual character in the mid-card with room to climb. Being a smaller guy doesn't hold people back as much anymore either. I could just imagine Shelley following Brie Bella around with a video camera in order to get Daniel Bryan's attention for a title match.

Chris Sabin showed some potential in his World Title run with TNA too. His dickhead-abusive-boyfriend stuff was good. But that'd only be if he went singles. Bring in Shelley and him to feud with The Ascension in NXT with shitty names.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like Big E, but I'm still not sold. I liked his work with Barrett, but there's just nothing he really does better than anybody else currently receiving a push. Cesaro's feats of strength are not only more impressive, but he's a better overall worker and closing the gap in terms of mic skills. Roman Reigns is learning how to do explosive better in even singles situations. I'm not really sure where Big E plugs in right now. Maybe it's time to start the five-count thing with him against jobbers. Try and re-build the guy before you insert him into another major program or something.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want Chavo Guerrero back in the WWE. I imagined him doing a random NXT appearance against Camacho the other day. Have no clue why. Make the guy an NXT trainer that occasionally gets into the ring.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Christian would make a good commentator when his in-ring career is over, I think. I liked the way he went back-and-forth with JBL that one SmackDown he sat down in the booth. His style was so different in the ring to JBL's that I think he would provide an entirely different perspective from the booth, and that the contrast between them could make for a great dynamic. Give it a try on SmackDown one week and see how it holds up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

TNA has been pretty laughable lately. It seemed like they had some clear stuff to build up to:

* Magnus finally getting conquered by Samoa Joe.

* Eric Young taking responsibility for the monster he helped unleash.

* Bully Ray and Bobby Roode just beating the absolute shit out of each other.

* James Storm and Gunner also beating the shit out of each other.

* Kurt Angle returning from injury and getting his revenge on Ethan Carter III.

* Rockstar Spud standing up for himself in a comedic way and challenging his tormenter, Willow.

* Angelina Love and Velvet Sky using their numbers advantage to try and leverage the Knockouts Championship from Madison Rayne, who has a rookie in her corner.

* Knux making his feel-good debut, following his dream and sending money back to his dad.

* Sanada and Tigre Uno concluding their friendly rivalry for the X-Division Championship.

* The BroMans finally getting fed to The Wolves.

* Kenny King getting his arrogant ass handed to him by MVP, or someone representing MVP because he wants to "stay out of the spotlight."

It was so simple. Everything was laid out there. I understand that there were a few injuries here and there, but come on. Kurt Angle re-appeared for a little bit and basically had a TV match with EC3. Angle could have at least helped Willow out against EC3 if he wasn't cleared for Sacrifice. Joe was also out, but you could have had MVP give the shot to Austin Aries, Bobby Lashley or someone like that. MVP could have taken it himself, and teased the possibility that he is becoming corrupt with power.

[#1-norm-fan]

I was kinda getting into TNA a month or two ago. It didn't last long. Just when they get something going, they get content and lazy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked what I saw of Brittany, but I'm not sure if the company knows how to present her.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's really sad that the company doing women's wrestling the best right now is the WWE.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They're also arguably doing the best with tag teams.

[Juan]

So apparently, Sheamus beating Ambrose was supposed to be Sheamus' heel turn but the crowd didn't bite lol

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ambrose is awesome, but he's also the most heelish of The Shield. Well, he's been a face and he's plucky and all that, but he's got this villainous quality about him. He's the crazy one and will win over fans, but his appeal isn't as mainstream as the pure face thing Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins can do.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I thought it came off as opportunist and Sheamus sounded like a bit of a dick where he made he sound like he had no hard feelings for Ambrose. It's just a nuanced heel who isn't suddenly a coward or overly angry. He's just slid into "see a shot, take a shot" mode.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bleh. I miss when heel turns were impactful.

They could have at least had him cheat a little to retain it on Smackdown just to signify his turn.

It was just like he was envisioning giant spiders climbing in the cage at him. He was flipping out. He started a riot. I was swinging chairs to get out.”

Maybe now he can go back to being "champion of all the United States" and wearing the red, white, and blue ring attire.

Just kidding. That ship sailed years ago. Being an arrogant prick heel should be enough fresh air for him over the arrogant, happy-go-lucky prick face he has been.

Anderson recalled an incident in 1975 in Phoenix when Chris hallucinated during a cage match: “He’d taken some kind of junk. He got in the cage and thought he saw some giant spiders. It was just like he was envisioning giant spiders climbing in the cage at him. He was flipping out. He started a riot. I was swinging chairs to get out.”


HOW IS THIS NOT ON THE NETWORK?

[Dark One]

Alternatively:

Did someone say spiders in a cage?

According to both the dirtsheets and a few news sources, NBC is expected to reveal this Thursday that they agreed to a new deal with the WWE for their tv shows. The new deal is rumored to be worth at least double what the WWE got in the previous deal.

"There are those within the TV Industry that believe the deal with WWE is done with NBCU and they're going to announce it on Thursday. I have no idea about the money but I would think it's going to be a match of whoever the highest outside bidder was."

NBCU and WWE have not announced anything just yet, but WWE may be waiting to allow NBCU to announce the new deal at their upfronts this Thursday in New York. For the last number of years, NBCU has held their cable upfront parties separately, but this year will be holding one big event for all 17 of their channels including the USA Network, Bravo, E!, Oxygen and others.

WWE executives told anyone that asked that they hoped to have a new deal signed by May, as well as have it announced within the month too. So if NBCU announces the new deal this week, it would come as no surprise. WWE hoped to sign back on with NBC, now they may have. This despite rumored interest from Discovery and even Disney.

Dirtsheets:

There were major concerns about money at this past week's set of TNA Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando, specifically with the production crew.

People in production were upset about being behind on pay and it was said that if they weren't caught up on pay by a certain point, they were going to walk out in the middle of last week's sets of tapings.

These threats clearly made their way back to TNA management as checks were issued to people and everything cooled off. There was a 24-hour period where there was a lot of tension backstage. As noted earlier, money is tighter than ever right now for TNA.

Kind of wish Dean Ambrose got to keep the US Title and was just forced to defend it like twice a week for a while.

I had hoped he'd at least make it to next Monday and drop it to somebody worthy after being able to then claim he'd held the title for exactly one year.

I hope I'm proven wrong, but I don't think Sheamus as United States Champion will fare very well, and I fear it may even dimimish the title's prestige even more than Ambrose not defending it more than perhaps a half-dozen times in nearly a year.

Honestly think maybe the best thing that could happen to the United States Championship would be to have it unified with Bad News Barrett's Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam.

Dirtsheets:

Jerry Lawler noted in a new interview with Bleacher Report that he's working on gathering the entire Memphis Wrestling tape library and is in talks with WWE about making the library available to the company so they can use it on the WWE Network.

To clarify Chris Sabin's TNA departure, he was offered a new deal but turned it down. He wasn't outright released. The deal was believed to be for less money than he had been making.

Katie Ryjavec, who been handling TNA's live event marketing and media buys, recently gave notice and will be leaving the company. She has been with TNA since 2011.

There continues to be concern within TNA about their future with Spike TV. There has been no new deal signed but the United Talent Agency is representing TNA in ongoing negotiations. Word is that UTA will be shopping TNA around to other networks instead of jumping right into a new agreement with Spike.

Word coming out of last night's RAW is that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan has a broken neck. It was described as a minor break. Bryan will be undergoing a simple procedure this Thursday, not something complex like neck fusion surgery.

The belief is that he will be out of action for 6-8 weeks. At RAW last night, WWE officials were looking at SummerSlam for a potential return.

The injury came from years of Bryan working the in-ring style that he does, not just one instance. There were some people talking like the diving headbutt from the forklift & pallet at Extreme Rules may have furthered the injury but that hasn't been confirmed.

Regarding the status of the WWE World Heavyweight Title, the belief is that when they get done with surgery, if there's nothing too bad discovered then they will likely keep the belt on Bryan. If they get a bad report from surgery, then Bryan could be stripped. Obviously WWE could decide to keep the title on Bryan and then change their minds at any moment..

[James Steele]

If they are smart, they will find a way to turn this into a fresh re-hash of the angle where they refused to let Austin wrestle.

TitanTron Tuesday

[Cool King]

I liked Raven during his time in the WWE. I liked him a lot. I thought he had a really cool look, cool theme, cool name, cool titantron, cool attitude, cool everything. His matches were great too. Even though he was a big name in the Hardcore division at the time, his non-Hardcore matches were quite entertaining too.

I liked the way he was really innovative when it came to Hardcore matches, bringing in bowling balls, shopping trolleys (cart), potted plants and even a Frankenstein Doll into his Hardcore matches. When he debuted in the WWF in 2000, I was 11 years old and I was familiar with who he was but I only knew him as being a "WCW guy" and that was about it. I didn't know at the time that he had a past with ECW and Hardcore Wrestling, so when it came to him having Hardcore matches in the WWF, it was all new to me and I thought it was great, and it made me love Raven more and more.

Then there was a period where he drastically changed his look. He had blonde dreadlocks, no facial hair and began wearing some kind of Kilt thing. I liked it, but not as much as his previous look, but it was still a pretty badass look. He also got a new theme, which again, was pretty badass to me at the time. I still list to it occasionally today, along with the theme posted above.

Then came his move to commentating on Heat, but that was pretty short lived. He was a pretty good commentator though, I enjoyed listening to him and he didn't have an annoying voice like some commentators do. Not long after that he was released.

I think one of my fondest memories of Raven during his time in the WWE, is his Hardcore match against Kane and Big Show at WrestleMania X-Seven. That was such a great entertaining match. It's stuff like that, that makes me miss the Hardcore Division. The Hardcore Division was a nice escape from your usual wrestling show of "good guy vs bad guy in the ring" thing. You would have just this random assortment of guys beating the hell out of each other in the most random places with the most random objects and the majority of the time, they would manage to insert a good amount of comedy moments into them, even though Hardcore matches are supposed to be these brutal serious matches.

Lord Alfred Hayes was freaking great as a heel manager.

Here he is in Florida managing Baron Von Raschke.

Raschke will always be one of my favorites. He and my late paternal grandfather were acquaintances years ago.

Ok, so I finally finished Timeline WWE 1984 Roddy Piper

I say finally because it's 3 and a half hours long. Piper rambles ALOT, tells stories that go nowhere and half is either b.s or incorrect. It's entertaining, but takes it with a grain of salt. His Lord Alfred Hayes stories are hilarious. Apparently Hayes had a giant cock andwould chase other wrestlers around the dressing room twirling it around with his hand.

Not the greatest timeline, but still worth a watch.

thats fine and dandy but he really needs to go in by himself. Longest reigning WWF Champ of the 1990's kind of determines that.

Nash doesn't deserve to go in for a long time imo.

The others who could actually work and paved the way should go in while they still are alive.

I'd like to see them actually acknowledge more older wrestlers. I would also like them to add more international wrestlers to their HOF.

Mickie James is not HOF worthy.

If she were ever on good terms with the E, Chyna as well.
