superstar collection: Daniel bryan, dvd - august 7th

Mine!

 

[Kaleb]

Fan reports from Friday’s RAW live event in Glens Falls and Saturday’s event in Syracuse say that John Cena appeared out of it, uninterested, tired and out of energy. Cena defeated The Miz on Friday and Dolph Ziggler on Saturday.


Feel sorry for the guy, Really wish he would take a break and take care of his personal stuff.

 

[The Sage]

I'm guessing Cena will take time off after Over the Limit.

Owww! Have Mercy!

- We noted before that ECW Original Axl Rotten fell asleep at the wheel and was in a car wreck while returning home from the Extreme Reunion event in Philadelphia last month. Axl, who defeated Balls Mahoney at the event, says he's wrestled his last match. He wrote on Facebook:

"This is very easy to say. No tearful videos or thank you's. I had fun wrestling Balls Mahoney at Extreme Reunion. I will keep my thoughts on the other matches and event as a whole to myself. I think I'm done. I had 24 yrs doing what I love. I'm not going to wrestle another match. Thanks for the ride. It ended in a bang....Literally.- Axl Rotten"

- WWE Hall of Famer George "The Animal" Steele wrote on Twitter last night that he was just released from the hospital after an extended stay.

- After Big Show was caught by picking on John Laurinaitis at last week's RAW Supershow by Eve Torres, the angle with Show and Laurinaitis continued over to SmackDown where Laurinaitis has demanded an apology this coming Monday.

In a new storyline article, WWE is now speculating that Big Show may be fired on RAW. WWE also teases that Triple H may have a role in the Laurinaitis vs. Big Show storyline.

The official WWE Twitter page is teasing the possibility of WWE Hall Of Fame announcer Jim Ross (along with former WWE Superstar William Regal) returning to television commentary (kind of).

The tweet states that JR and Regal "may end up announcing" the new WWE NXT shows which will be taped at Full Sail University.

JR re-tweeted the information, which you can check out below:

WWE 24/7 ‏ @WWENews24_7

Regarding the new @WWENXT and #FCW tapings at Full Sail University, @JRsBBQ and @RealKingRegal may end up announcing those shows. #WWE

If the WWE don't get their head out of their ass and stop worrying so much about keeping their top face even through such a difficult period of his life, they're going to make Cena really start to hate his job.

 

[TX85]

The man needs a break,I guess WWE don't realize that IF they keep pushing him stay more&more they can drive away by him deciding to take a hiatus from wrestling for a while than just a few month to rest!!

 

[Benstamania]

Read about Cena's upcoming divorce and how it's going to make the Hogan divorce look like a play date. I really hope Vince allows Cena some extended time off. If he gets totally burnt out you could have a walk out on your hands.

Break downs do happen. Even for the #1 Company Man. Ask Stone Cold.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I agree with everyone else here that Cena needs a break.There's a house show here tonight.(I'm not going though)He's scheduled for the main event tonight.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'm certain that if Cena requests it, that Vince will (reluctantly) allow him to take a break.

WCW - Sting - Rick Rude Confrontation

Glorious! It takes balls to wear what Rude had on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVJewb2pfwg

The Boss (Big Bossman) WCW Debut vs Rick Rude

Great match, was supposed to happen in WWF in 90/91 but Rude left.

Thanks for posting these! Man watching these videos really highlights the difference in the heels from back then to now. In fact, it highlights the difference in wrestlers in general from the different eras.

The wrestlers seemed like true men back in the day and like they were true tough guys. So many guys today look like boys or someone you could take on yourself.

Rude was the Burt Reynold's of heels

Hunter posting all of these glorious pics of the women made me start thinking about my favorite women of wrestling.

Who is your top 5 favorite current Diva/Knockouts? Who are you favorite Diva/Knockouts of the past?

Triple H's idea. If it was Vince McMahon, he would have used it to make fun of JR, because he gets a chubby out of that.

Is NXT still on tv, or primarily online?

Online. I suggest you start watching because it's a solid wrestling show with some good little story development.

What is your favourite Sting vs Flair match?

I completely forgot to answer this question.

The first Clash of the Champions match is up there, for obvious reasons, but it would probably be one that most would never pick and that was Sting's match with Flair on the next Monday Nitro after Spring Stampede 1999. It was Sting's first match on television after many months and it was Sting's first match with Flair after many many years. It was a complete nostalgic moment when those two locked up. Sting yelling at Flair "for old times sake" and those two hitting all of their classic spots was terrific. You could see the fun those two were having after so many years and both guys had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands. You could hear the fan in Tony Schiavone come out during the match as it was obvious he was having a blast calling it. Just great stuff! I still have this match recorded on a VHS tape.

Another fun couple of moments during that night were Sting's promo to open the show and Flair, Arn, and "Little Naitch" Charles cutting promo with both Macho Man and Sting coming out. Fantastic promos that were filled with energy and fun.

That alone will make watching the show worthwhile let alone getting to see some future stars in the making.
