:lol: Austin and Cole almost bust out laughing near the end.

I'm sure he is.

He probably will come back to WWE somehow soon, after experiencing WrestleMania weekend once again, being around the WWE again and reminding himself of how awesome it is.

Additional side note: Wrestlemania X-7 was fucking awesome.

Damn right it was.

8 Rocks, 6 Austins, and 4 Hogans. 6 Rock matches that did not include Austin. 4 Austin matches that did not include Rock.

It's nteresting that Wrestlemanias 15-20 with the exception of 19 take the top 5 positions while Wrestlemanias 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 take the top 10.

Crap, you're right...

WM 23 got 1.2 million buys

WM 24 got 1.06 million buys

WM 25 got .96 million buys

WM 26 got .885 million buys

"You won't be able to get it out" *Now hug me, bitch*

Strange. I was watching a video with the Road Warriors shooting on Vince and HBK talking about how they may have something sexual going on and then I watch this vid and the first hold and the way Shawn looks at Vince was pretty weird and then at the end with the hug and rubbing the back too.

I've seen two straight men hug and stuff but not like that. Even the hugs from Flair seemed normal.

I was rollin when Nash started talking about that in his "fucked up" voice.

For all my anti Cena brethren... a pre-Wrestlemania gift
 

ENJOY!

Hell yeah. A real rapper writes about his hatred for professional wrestling characters.

There are no more names for moves. Only "a submission move" and "a slam".

Better go change your tipsters then Xero. :lol:

Rey Mysterio wins with A Strike.

As annoying as their/they're/there and your/you're is, it's also understable.

Then/than being mixed up I just don't get.

2 of Rock's were Rumbles. Most people buy it cos it's the Rumble. I doubt Rocky "Main Eventing" did much for the buys.

As time goes on I realize how badly WWE needs a new logo. It just doesn't fit anymore.

There was that "rumor" of a new logo awhile back that everybody took to be real:

http://images.wrestling-radio.com/newwwelogo.jpg

Obviously wasn't real but it's not a bad concept at all.

Also, just saw a guy in a bWo shirt on last week's SD.

Also, I'll say WWE finally got the Johnny Cash song right for Taker's theme down. They added a bit of a background beat and it works perfectly as a theme now and doesn't have any bad sounding downtime anymore. I approve.

Didn't notice any change on Monday.

I like it...I like it so much that if they kept it, I wouldn't have a problem...it's Undertaker "with an edge"!

Noticed it on SD. They added SOMETHING along with the chain sound and toned some things down. It just sounds better as a theme now.

That last one is a lot like the original song:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/66QcIlblI1U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I think the audio quality in the 1st one is not good enough to distinctly hear the chain sound, maybe other such instances will provide a better comparison (480p at least)

Changed make it ten times more bearable.

I still don't see any distinct change in those two videos. Playing the original song in 360p is like the 1st video and playing it in 480p is like the 2nd video, it was just the youtube video quality making it sound different.

LOL at 4:17

POOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE!

Wow CZW got the "Most illegal thing in the history of wrestling" video taken down and the guys account was deleted.

What a bunch of pricks. The guy gives CZW the biggest publicity they ever had and this is how he is treated? Gets them talked about on ESPN? Wow seriously fuck CZW.

What a bunch of dipshits.

We got a long way to go folks...

lol if they actually requested it. But it may have just gone down for a general copyright breach.

If they actually requested that, they're fucking insane, and it's why people have to figure out that while you SHOULD lock down your content, you have to let some get through, especially if it means such huge exposure.

The message indicated 3rd party complaints as well as copyright/trademark infringements.

^Still got that on tape. :)

From Angle's Twitter:


"To WWE wrestlers, Don't use my Finish. Get more Creative. Hmmmm- Orton. Did I say that?"
"I heard Orton had an Awesome match though. Ur welcome. Lol."
"I guess Swagger will use my Ankle Lock as well.Very creative. I'm the Best in the World. You Guys will never be Kurt Angle.can I get an AMEN"
"Kurt Angle will never die. TNA. WWE. I'm a leader. Not follower. :)"
"Why would WWE use my finishes? Is it because I won't go back? R Orton- Angle Slam. M Cole- Ankle Lock? They have some nerve."
"Jerry Lawlor did it too. But He is a Legend. WWE really stuck it to Me.No Love lost. I'm glad that I helped Your biggest Event of the Year:)"

^ Already been posted in WM thread. Check Ortons response....:D

Would it be too stale for a Mr. McMahon return and Cena to go corporate? Vince gets mad that Rock overstepped his authority, Cena becomes his "guy" and the Miz turns babyface by default..

lol, yeah, saw it on Twitter before I knew what it was referencing.

I imagine this will end well.

Bret and Vince Russo will tweet flame war back and forth saying "you don't know what you're talking about."

So who's pumped up for HOF/RAW/TE?


I pray to god something goes right and it's better than some of the wrestlemania stuff.

I was actually more looking forward to this huge block of WWE television more than Mania. I'm glad to see Tough Enough back since it was one of the "original" reality tv shows. Was I the only person who liked the Joe Schmo show? I hope not..

I think Austin gets to be Austin here...or at least I hope he does.

Del Rio pulled a similar spot at Mania.
