[Hunter Rider]

from Pwtorch Newsletter:

-The Undertaker did not attend the Hall of Fame Ceremony at WrestleMania 21 because he wanted to protect his character, but also because he and Hogan have long standing backstage heat. Undertaker has been bitter towards Hogan from his days early on in WWE when he worked two straight PPV's against Hogan. He heard that Hogan made a point of telling McMahon he wasn't ready for a top spot at that point and claimed Taker didn't protect him well during their matches including on a Tombstone piledriver.

Ever since then, he and Hogan have not gotten along. Many respected the Undertakers decision not to attend the ceremony. On that same note, some are saying that it took a phone call from Vince McMahon in order to persuade Steve Austin to attend the Hall of Fame Ceremony. There is also some heat between Austin and Hogan, but once Austin was there he seemed to enjoy himself and there are pictures of he and Hogan at the event speaking with one another.

-On another note, Undertaker is working with a bad hip and many say it's only a matter of time before he will require surgery in order to heal himself.

 

[John Constantine]

Not surprised with that beef Undertaker had with Hogan. Back in the day, Hogan was just as bad as Triple H or Jeff Jarrett in protecting the title. Hell, even look at that Hogan-Undertaker championship match at the Survivor Series. Undertaker only won the title due to interference from Ric Flair and he lost it to Hogan the very next week

Surgery for The Undertaker? Great...Yet another reason not to watch Smackdown. I hope this won't keep him out long.

Damn. Well hopefully he's not out for long. That long ass vacation he took before his ' american badass ' return nearly killed me. Well one cool thing will come out of it maybe.. he might 'madonna-ize' himself another time.

i like wwf wrestling.

you mean wwe wrestling the have been legally barred from using the wwf name for two-three years now
granted the injunction is in the brittish courts but there's not much sense in using wwe in england and wwf everywhere else right?

Starrcade (27/11/86) Scaffold Match vs. Midnight Express

I saw this match live. I was nine years old, and I was so excited. It was the wildest thing that I had ever seen.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Word has it that WWE has just signed Juventud and Psicosis. Anyone else think that Eddie Guerrero is gonna reform the LWO? here's hoping.

 

[John Constantine]

They also signed Super Crazy. I hope that this is a sign that the WWE is looking to shake things up with the cruiserweight division. Can you imagine the matches those three might put on with wrestlers like Paul London or Akio?

All they need is to move the Hurricane to SD and the CW division might be seen as an actual legitimate division again

 

[Duende Verde]

Word has it that WWE has just signed Juventud and Psicosis. Anyone else think that Eddie Guerrero is gonna reform the LWO? here's hoping.

I wonder if it's going to be the original Psicosis, AAA (a mexican wrestling federation) stole his name and gimmick and goes by Nicho now.

 

[Go Web Go!]

If only we could say the same for their shows...

 

[Hunter Rider]

TSN, which is the home of WWE Raw in Canada posted on its wrestling section of the TSN.ca website that Hulk Hogan will be appearing on Raw this forthcoming Monday.

TSN citing source says " WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan will appear this Monday on WWE RAW, to be aired live on TSN at 9pm et/6pm pt from New York's Madison Square Garden."

Interesting, as this is pretty much as close to confirmation as we are going to get that Hogan will be there on Monday.

also did everyone know Batista is 36 ?

 

[John Constantine]

Yeah, I was informed of that a few weeks ago. I was kinda surprised when I heard that, I thought we was in his early 30s at the most.....

 

[Sabretooth]

Damn.He's the same age as HHH,I always thought of him quite a bit younger.

 

[Go Web Go!]

36? Wow. He doesn't look that young, but I expected him to be atleast in his early 30's.

JBL needs to replace the Bashams with two new people.The Bashams just don't fit in his faction.I say get Luther Reigns and Jindrak in there.

 

[3dman27]

any idea whe rvd and eugene are coming back?

 

[The Techno Bat]

Didn't they used to be on TNA weren't they AMW? I can't remember the name, but they stole the Tag team titles on TNA.

Two different guys. America's Most Wanted are Cowboy James Storm and Wildcat Chris Harris, and they did battle a team called The Naturals Chase Stevens & Andy Douglas who resemble the team of Johnny Nitro and Joey Matthews a bit with the long greasy hair look, but they are three totally different teams.

I am glad that the WWE is actually trying to bring in new teams and do different things with the new tag team, and the addition of CCC Cabana.

I think signing Rowdy Piper for five years was dumb! I bet they did that just to keep him on a short leash or something.

Where's Ric Flair? WoOoOoOOOoOOOooooo!

 

[The Techno Bat]

any idea whe rvd and eugene are coming back?

Hopefully NEVER! I hate the entire Eugene gimmick, they actually had a "REAL LIFE" physically challenged individual in Zach Gowen, who wrestled with one leg, and then they turn around and make Nick Dinsmore, a great wrestler and very intellegent guy, into a physically challenged individual, I think even to this day it is very tasteless.

And RvD is just simple a spot wrestler, and really doesn't do it for me. He is notorious for injuring guys in the ring and hope that he never come back

Won't happen now with Reigns and Jindrak are at odds. Personally I don't mind The Bashams they fit that sleashy scumbag security team look that works with JBL's Cabinet. Besides that The Bashams are probably the most gifted and true tag team on Smackdown

 

[The Techno Bat]

also did everyone know Batista is 36 ?

Ya a couple of years ago when I was looking at this body building magazine featuring wrestlers they had Brock and Batista in it and told there ages. And I was completely taken back by the fact that at the time Batista was 34.
