So the guy who wrote/sang WORLD GOES WILD wants WWE to use it now:

Methinks he balked at first until he realized how much money he could make off of it, and/or get a Mania gig out of it

What a doofus. Should have realized earlier that it would mean good money.

Don't bet on it, first I've heard of it. Where'd you hear of it?

Was a linked article on my FB feed. Looking at the website I think its a fake now though. Seems to be a sports "Onion" type site.

This undertaker passing away story true? I hope not...

Which led to my next thought, my fave five intercontinental champions:

1) Jericho
2) Razor Ramon
3) HBK
4) Macho Man
5) Ultimate Warrior

In no particular order
--HBK
--Razor
--Bret Hart
--Mr Perfect
--Macho Man

Avatar bet is over? Bootaaay confirm? Anyone else on Team #NO confirm? I gotta have my muscles.

 

[Data West]

He's dead in the sense that our lord Bork ripped out his soul and ate it, Shao Khan style.

I watched a tape of SummerSlam '89 when I was younger, and only remember to this day Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude, because there was a moment where Warrior pulled Rude's tights and exposed his backside.

Which led to my next thought, my fave five intercontinental champions:

3. 'Legend Killer' Randy Orton
4. 'Grotesque' Cody Rhodes
5. Owen Hart

Undertaker died when he started texting "lol" to CM Punk years ago.

Wrestlemania 31 isn't for another 11 and a half months

It's only been a week. You still have 51 more to go.

I think Vince should have to keep the Bryan avatar for an extra amount of time for placing his faith in pancake tits Batista

Spoiler

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

My sources tell me the next WWE DVD is Def Comedy Cena, featuring the best comedy segments of Cena's 11 year career.

Preach, friends.

Giving Daniel Bryan credit for 3 hours of television he didn't appear on? That ranks right up there with saying he could ponytail his beard, comb his hair and look presentable.

This is a No Spin Zone. When it comes to ratings without actually appearing, give credit where credit is due: The looming threat of Sting.

Well in the Nitro times, if Hogan wasn't on the show and ratings were good, he's take credit for fans wanting to see him. And if he wasn't on the show and ratings weren't good, it was because fans were mad he wasn't on. And if he was on the show and ratings were good, it was because of him. And if he was on the show and ratings weren't good, it was because of all the small guys making people tune out. D-Brine needs to take the Hogan approach.

FIRST OFF that is wrong.

I don't deserve this.

SECOND OFF it was Triple H with the pancake tittays. Not Bateaster.

I can't believe you guys wouldn't take pity on me. After all I try to do for this community.

Unfortunately, I agreed with that monster Professor Beef that the bet would be for a month, so I'm stuck with this...thing for a few more weeks.

Real logic time!

Raw after WrestleMania was excellently booked and people want to see where this continues. Bryan coming back next week will obviously help since he's kind of the big thing right now.

Nobody gives a flying fuck if Sting shows up though. In the eyes of the non-IWC WWE fans Sting is either a complete unknown or that guy from WCW who hasn't been relevant in forever.

 

[strobogo]

Could you fucking imagine if Taker really just died? There would be a year of tribute shows.

And in the iwc he's a fucking geezer that no one should want around.

I tell you, Triple H is doing god's work putting over Bryan. I can't think of many other recent main event talents allowed to look how he looks. He pretty much looks completely incompatible with any kind of media tour. Whether that's the plan or what, who knows.

And I'm up for another avatar bet with the masses.

Will HHH put Bryan over at Mania?

a big YES or NO on your avatar to vote, loser has to wear an av of the person who ruined it (HHH or Bryan) for a week after Mania!

Anyone feel like doing this? I'll lead off on this communal bet. NO! NO! NO! Triple H isn't going to give Bryan that SPOTLIGHT.

You tossed that stip out when you changed the rules from "going over HHH" to "Bryan winning the belt". I say a month.

That would put a new spin on Heyman's "Brock killed Taker's streak" promos

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I say permanent.

 

[Data West]

2003-2004 Orton is the only good Orton

Then he got jacked up and boring. He needs to go back to being a dick irl, I guess.

 

[DMczaf]

I wish there was a whole documentary/film on the booking leading up to the Streak ending. I want something in the vein of Zero Dark Thirty.

 

[gurudyne]

What's "WRESTLEMANIA 30 FALLOUT 1" on the Network?

The Network's airing wrestlers doing LPs of old PC games. Time for Xavier Woods and AJ to put up or shut up.

Also now imagining a reskinned Fallout 1 with wrestler textures. Trips is the Master, Orton and Batista have fused into a boring two-headed super mutant commander of the military base, Junktown's ruled over by the Shield who war with crime boss Kane, and the thirty man Andre the Giant rumble participants are all random encounters. Except Cesaro. He goes on to become Frank Horrigan in Wrestlemania 30 FALLOUT 2.

Cole nearly ruined Bryan's moment at WM with his dumb ass calls trying to find one that'd be used for promo packages in the future.

MIRACLE ON BOURBON STREET!
MIRACLE ON BOURBON STREET!
MIRACLE ON BOURBON STREET!

Did he actually say this at the time? I don't remember seeing it on the show itself.

 

[Xater]

I don't even want to think about that. Taker just always was one of my favorites. Should Taker retire soon though I would love WWE to create a DVD /Blu-ray with his best matches and a documentary. That Is really something I would like to own.

Ratings are more determined by how the previous week was, and what is advertised for that week. The show itself doesn't affect it much beyond how large the hour to hour drop is.

 

[strobogo]

It makes me wish it was the 80s so Bork could take credit for Taker's death and get nuclear heat.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Hell, give us a whole film about the chaos going on in creative from Royal Rumble to Wrestlemania. I want to see how hard, long and painful it was for them to come to the conclusion to put the strap on Bryan.

 

[Heel]

I said this is a no spin zone, brehs. Time to stop acting like you won't mark out when Stinger comes down on a zip line and hits Daniel Bryan with a baseball bat. You know damn well that will spike a 5 share.

Undertaker strikes me as the kind of guy who'd be okay with that, like Paul Bearer. Assuming the death wasn't actually caused by Brock.

As someone who basically has almost no exposure of WCW I won't mark out. Most I have seen of Sting is probably from TNA.

 

[Sblargh]

I'm so dying to see something like this. Probably too backstage even in this non-keyfabe era, but still, damn. I hope a writer gets fired for bullshit reasons so he get angry and tell us all about it.
I don't even care that I am wishing for a hard working person to lose his job.

 

[Liquidsnake]

^^^^^^^^^^ your avatar is picture perfect man. Theres something about it.

Daniel Bryan not on RAW effect, IMO. Also, Ultimate Warrior's death and the potential debut of Sting.

I this even a thing anymore.

They fkd me over by not using him last week.

It all ends with Vince on the witness stand screaming "YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I BOOKED DANIEL BRYAN VS SHEAMUS"

Bret's 1997 promos were awesome. Then again, 1997 was the best year in WWF history.

 

[Data West]

2 lines of dialogue in a heavily edited promo that Bret didn't edit?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn Orton has aged since this gif

 

[Data West]

You are dissing one of the greatest feuds of all time.

Who's dissing the feud? I'm dissing that Bret can't cut a promo. He can't. Stone Cold and Bret's character(the whiny traditionalist) is what carried that feud out of the ring. Then Bret did the work in the ring. It wasn't because of Bret's promo skills.

No one remembers what Bret said in that feud. Everyone remembers 'Pink and black, what kind of crap is that?'

 

[slightconfuse]

That's because Bret's Real life personality is being a Giant Baby. It was all shoot

“If you put an ‘S’ in front of Hitman, you have my exact opinion of Bret Hart.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Damn Orton has aged since this gif

He just lost all the baby fat on his face.

 

[British Monsoon]

Watched the Gauntlet for the Gold from AIW's latest show, pretty fun match, no real surprises other than the return of Jimmy Olson (Colin Delaney's old tag partner and Equinox from CHIKARA). The Overbomb always amazes me, looks like it shouldn't be possible without him breaking his neck;

 

[Data West]

What the fuck was that first move? Who thought that was a good looking move?

 

[DMczaf]

Guy in green pants immediately getting up after first move
