Yeah, Bagwell's an idiot. I thought that story about him screwing himself out of severance pay was bad (and it's still the stupidest thing he's done that I know of), but damn - he basically screwed the last remnants of WCW out of existence.
Doesn't matter, WWE was going to display a disgrace to WCW regardless. Just like other than the couple One Night Stand ppvs where they went all out, WWECW was a total disgrace... Not interested in WWE's BS'ing with legendary promotions. I'm still bitter that they're using WCW titles.

LOL. Robbie E standing on the split table was gold. Give this man a push. (and a gif of that too)

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife

early WWECW was great tv. The change the channel chants are legendary.

LOL PUNK


WWE Champion CM Punk is getting some media attention for comments he made on criticizing Nike for signing UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones to an international endorsement deal, likely worth millions of dollars.

CM Punk sarcastically tweeted:

"Let's reward more drunk drivers with endorsement deals! #responsibility"

Jones was arrested for DUI on May 19 and had his license suspended for six months.

Nash defending his comments

Nash on his comments about the size of top guys in WWE today: "I’m talking about them as wrestlers, I’m talking about them as their wrestling persona as far as visual. I’m not talking about anything [else]. I’ve stated before, these guys are incredibly great technical wrestlers. All of them. But there’s a reason why Christian Bale in Batman has armor on and is bigger than life. There’s a reason why in all these Marvel movies if [the guys] don’t have gigantic muscles and aren’t oversized, they’re CGIs. I don’t remember Stan Lee when he started Marvel Comics making a 5-foot-7 guy."

Nash on HBK being an exception to the rule: "Shawn Michaels was 6-foot-1 and a half and weighed 225 pounds in his prime. That’s a big difference between 5-foot-7. That’s a difference between a 6-foot-8 power forward and a 7-foot-1 center. CM Punk doesn’t have Shawn Michaels’ physical ability. I mean, Vince Carter and [Michael] Jordan are the same size."

Nash on the PG Era in WWE and CM Punk: "I think the number one thing that hurts still is the fact that they’re PG. I’m a huge fan of Punk’s [but] I’m sorry, it’s hard for me to watch two grown men say they’re going to beat the crap out of each other. That’s my personal opinion.

"I’m also saying that it doesn’t look to me like he spends a lot of time in the weight room. I just think it would enhance his look and everything. We were all drug free and drug tested for years at the WWE, and there were a lot of guys that had great physiques. I think that comes with it."

Nash on the reaction to his comments: "You guys aren’t backstage, you guys aren’t around when the brass makes decisions. You guys aren’t around when they all say, ‘God, I wish he was bigger,’ [or] ‘God yeah, but the guy just doesn’t have enough size.’ It’s their opinion. I’m just stating my opinion. I’m not saying I’m right. But am I not allowed my opinion? I pay taxes, I’m allowed my opinion. In my opinion, that’s how I feel. That doesn’t mean anybody else has to jump aboard and say I have to agree with him because he says so.

"Number one, I’ve always been an Internet darling and always will be and if I were to say something and was just somebody that didn’t have an opinion, you wouldn’t be calling me. It’s just because Kevin Nash said it. Oh my God, Kevin Nash said it. Oh my God, Jericho rebutted.

"For Eddie [Guerrero] and Chris [Benoit], Eddie was a friend [and] Chris was a friend. When the tragedy went down with Benoit I think I was one of the few guys that went on TV and tried to make some sense of it. These people that think I’m desecrating deceased wrestlers; I’m talking about them as [wrestlers] and not the person. Sometimes I look at it and I just go you know what, don’t even have an opinion, be a sheep like everybody else."

Yep, intensity is there now if he could just get his weight down close to what he was in 2006-2007.

Joe has been great since the tag team stuff with Magnus and that Slammiversary match with Aries was fantastic.

What, AJ and Angle? Oh, this should be good.

Why can't TNA use the broadcast cameras for their youtube stream? It looks like they're showing the match on a camera phone.

Unlike Chris Brown, Jon Jones would fucking murder your old man face, Punk.

The first WCW match they threw on Raw, Bagwell and Booker T had a match to end Raw. Buff was awful and Vince canned WCW from being featured. They turned into a stable which was killed at Survivor Series the same year. It would have been like early WWECW with it's own show and ppvs.
that kind of goes to tell how dumb Vince is to feature Buff Bagwell. he was never good in wcw. when was a little kid i thought he was cool but when he actually got in the ring i realize he didnt do much. he was tag team with Scott Norton and later with Steiner. he was just there to flex his muscles and i guess thats what impressed vince.

Blame the fans that were at the Raw when the last Nitro episode aired. When Vince mentioned Buff Bagwell, the crowd cheered a lot. That is supposedly what made Vince hire Buff.
