Too hype for Wrestlemania and Poker night.

[nothing]

Just finished watching History of Wrestlemania. Man, this year’s show seems so many notches below past events; not hyped for it at all.

It has arrived… And it does not disappoint.

Yeah pretty much what I got out of it, that and Vince really doesn’t seem like the douche my childhood portrayed him as.

That is a nice shirt.

[maxx]

shiiit that may be the best shirt wwe have ever made.

HHH would just come out there again later on in his wheelchair, squash the newest rising superstar with a cane, and win the WWE Championship… then re-retire.

I dunno, if we get Wheelchair HHH and he’s half as entertaining as Wheelchair Flair, then I’ll be happy.

At a MVC3 tourney yesterday I got to meet Sabu and Hacksaw Jim Duggan who are both in surprisingly good shape, Raven’s gonna be at the place on the 16th too.

ADR shirt is ordered and paid for. Now just gotta wait for it to be released and shipped. =D

the image of dx reunion one last time with hbk having better knees than trips is amusing…especially since hbk did alot more crazier shit than trips.

That shirt is pretty beast. Not sure if I’d buy it though. Iunno. I’m way picky about my wrestling swag.

Apparently, World WRESTLING Entertainment are offended that they are perceived as a WRESTLING company.
TVWeek.com put out a headline mentioning ‘Drew Carey inducted into pro wrestling Hall of Fame’. Later, they received an email from WWE publicist, Kellie Baldyga, demanding that they change the headline, mentioning that “We are no longer a wrestling company but rather a global entertainment company with a movie studio, international licensing deals, publisher of three magazines, consumer good distributor and more.”

Baldyga added “No, we don’t do wrestling events. They’re entertainments. And we don?t call them wrestlers. They?re superstars and divas.”

TVWeek refused to change the headline. They just removed it. She then followed up, writing “I know the perception is that we are a wrestling company but we are actually much more than that–we are a global media company which is how our Chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon, positions us.”

This is one of my pet peeves regarding WWE. Vince has used the “sports entertainment” for a long time, as well as calling calling wrestlers “superstars”. That’s fine and all, but when it gets to the points where the company disassociates themselves from the word “wrestler” it really upsets me. They want to be seen as more than a wrestling promotion, but ignoring that it’s the core of their business is really off-putting and borderline offensive to me as a wrestling fan.

pretty sure its to avoid legal shit. wrestling implies a sport which implies certain taxes.

[Da_Boogeyman]

I am hyped for wrestlemania. Hmm so far there is the two title matches, dashing/mysterio, snooki, hhh/taker, punk/orton

Cole/Lawler
speculation on

corre vs kane/show/???/???

Mitb with sheamus, christian, kofi, daniel brian, and others would have rocked

Mania just is missing something without mitb this year
And without mitb so

Wrestlemania will be changed to, Superstarmania, or Cenamania, or maybe HulkShawnTakerCenamania.

First the good.

• Jeremy Borash suffered a concussion from a Brother Ray kick at last week’s iMPACT tapings.

-According to f4wonline.com, it’s possible that Christian will be added to the Smackdown World Heavyweight Championship Match between Edge and Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania 27.

Now the bad.

• The backstage morale after this past week’s iMPACT tapings was very low. People in TNA are down on the company’s direction more than ever.

• Wrestlers in TNA are under the impression that Jeff Hardy will be brought back as a babyface soon. No one expects him to be fired

TNA has no fucking clue.

[odin]

E&C + ADR IN A SINGLE MATCH??

Maybe WM27 won’t be so bad…

[Geese_Pants]

HTF can you be a babyface…when you are facing drug charged in federal court?!?

[maxx]

lol edge showed you the way to breaking the karma wheel.
