I wish Rose would be sent home for several months and brought back as Leo Kruger and that Dunny the Bunny would just disappear.

Ok. You win.

"And starting this moment, from now. From this moment on, this will be the moment. Starting now, of the Genesis of McGillicutty"-Michael McGillicutty

I had stepped away around that time. I had to look it up... Wow!

 

[Donnie Darko]

I wish Rose would be sent home for several months and brought back as Leo Kruger and that Dunny the Bunny would just disappear.

It sucks when I can't fast forward through Adam Rose segments. It's like, I don't ever want to show support for an Adam Rose/Bunny match, but I always want to show support for Tyson Kidd matches, thanks to the last few months on NXT.

 

[zeroapoc]

The Bunny stuff I can do without. The Rose character never bothered me though.

 

[JabarR]

Anybody gonna watch tonight's Monday Night War ep.?

 

[Donnie Darko]

So if Team Cena loses Sunday, they are fired now? WELP! There goes ANY doubt about which team wins now.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If what I'm hearing about ROH management is true, Sinclair Broadcasting is shooting to be a worse wrestling owner than Dixie Carter.

 

[sweetre15]

I just bought the Macho Man documentary for 12.99 on ITunes. So far it's a great watch.

The Bunny needs to unmask...so to speak if it's an actual WWE Superstar.

As a Booker of independent wrestling and someone who is "in" the business, this **** pisses me the **** off if it's true.

So is ROH trying to move away from the other indy promotions to become #2 with TNA falling off?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The ONLY wrestling company in the world that should have contracts is WWE.

Not for nothing but I think that needs to change. WWE was much better when their status as #1 was on shaky ground. It forced them to be the best they could be. If ROH needs to make moves like this to try and move up in the wrestling world then so be it. You can call it bad business, you can call it good business but it's business.

 

[sweetre15]

I highly recommend the Macho Man DVD...Very moving watch and one that did his legacy justice. A lot of the talking was done by Lanny and his mom but I was glad to see Ziggler, Sheamus, Punk, Steamboat, Flair, Rhodes, and Hogan involved as well. Excellently done documentary and might be the best WWE produced documentary period.

Anything on there about the rumor that Stephanie snapped into it?

Lol They kinda addressed the rumor in a roundabout way actually

 

[JabarR]

O.K. Who watched The Monday Night War ep., "Divas Gone Wild" tonight and what were your thoughts? IMO, I loved it and they gave most of every Diva on there the right amount of time and spotlighting the 12/06/04 RAW main event on Lita and Trish (when the truth is, Lita is the only WWE Diva in history to main event RAW, not once, not twice, but 5 times in a row).

Wow. I was not expecting that answer. lol

Marc Mero Says He Won't Need Heart Surgery Right Now

Yes, Mero was a jerk back then, but he's made amends over the years. Being a positive role model for kids these days, he deserves all the respect in the world and I wish him well.

Which only proves my point even more. I was actually a bigger Punk fan than I was an Austin fan, but if you go by "great moments" in WWE history, that King of the Ring promo stands above the Pipe Bomb promo based on impact on wrestling and pop culture in general alone.

Just depressing when you think about it. Some of the PPVs where Cena main evented made sense (EC, WM, ER), but after that, Punk should've had the focus on him during his reign. He also didn't get an immediate rematch and win over Helmsley to give him a bigger rub. And he damn sure should've won the Royal Rumble this year. Had WWE actually given a sh**, they could've made a lot of money with Punk being The Guy to cater to hardcore fans and attract new ones instead of him sitting at home not a fu** about the industry anymore because McMahon can't let go of Cena.

Anything on there about the rumor that Stephanie snapped into it?

The segment on the documentary starts with Lanny

Spoiler

mentioning that Randy was unhappy at Triple H for calling him a dinosaur in an interview. Savage then made a home-video and said “Triple H, I’ll b*tch slap you and then take your girl.”

This video actually plays on the documentary. Lanny then gives a knowing look and says “All that does is throw gasoline on the fire.”

It’s almost as if the documentary makers wanted to touch on the Stephanie rumour, but could only do it in this roundabout way. “Obviously we don’t know the full story and as they say in heaven we never will,” Dusty Rhodes says.

Some fans will take The American Dream's words of context as he clearly states Savage isn't here to clear things up. The fact of the matter is Savage got banned for taking the Slim Jim contract with him to WCW costing McMahon millions of dollars that he needed badly at the time seeing how the company was in financial dire at the time. McMahon took it personally.

According to Piper, Savage slapped McMahon at a bar so that doesn't help matters either.

I'm so tired of the Steph rumor. If something did happen, Savage would've gotten the Benoit treatment, plain and simple.
