All of them are ending, WWE apparently had a one year contract for them all with Youtube, which has ended. I assume they're going to start some new shows, or try something or other new (like putting up weekly full length matches).

WWE signed a 1 year deal with Youtube to produce these shows. They couldn't come to terms to continue so the year is up tomorrow.

edit beaten like Santino

Ah alright thanks guys, Ryder just seems to be fading into more and more obscurity.

 

[canadian crowe]

Wrestling observer is reporting that

Spoiler

Hurricane Helms and Chris Masters

are spotted in Phoenix and could be in the rumble.

That's great, but I hope theyre being brought back at least part time since they're not old enough to be nostalgia acts.

 

[slightconfuse]

Arda Orcal is live tweeting the WCW panel. Lots of infesting stuff being said.

@arda_ocal: Nash talks DX invasion from WCW side. They were behind garage door ordering for it to be raised, were told no. #WCWPanel

@arda_ocal: Show says he, Taker and Crush (Brian Adams) would often play golf together. Can't pick up clubs w/o thinking of him. #WCWPanel

 

[Omega]

Have they announced if the Rumble or the Rock vs Punk match is last?

For the time it seems like they are giving the rumble an hour and the Punk vs Rock match is going to be over 30 minutes. So they have about an hour for the other two matches. If the Punk vs Rock match is last then it goes like this:

8-9: Tag match and Del Rio match
9-10: Rumble
10-10:45: Punk vs Rock

hasn't the rumble always been last?

 

[Pristine_Condition]

BEST KING OF THE RINGS time

1: The King of Harts, Owen Hart
2: Stone Cold Steve Austin(for the promo, really)
3: The Macho King
4: King Kurt

No King Booker? How can one man be so wrong?

Yeah this is good stuff. Even read his tweets during the DX panel and the Montreal Screwjob panel. HHH said that these panels at RR are a "beta test" and will probably do them for more future events.

 

[strobogo]

hasn't the rumble always been last?

Usually, but not always. It wasn't last in 1996-1998 or 2006.

 

[slightconfuse]

this seems about right

Arda Ocal ‏@arda_ocal
"Voodoo Kin Mafia" TNA question was asked. Road Dogg says "Russo was writing and we got paid weekly. Bad time in my life, bro!" #DXPanel

also glad nothing is off the table

Arda Ocal ‏@arda_ocal
Panel loosely poke fun at Chyna/XPac but then XPac puts her over: "there will never be another one like her". #DXPanel

"She would fart as loud as Billy would. She took so much protein they'd smell as bad too" - Road Dogg on Chyna
Expand

HHH talking Chyna, saying she was just as integral in DX's funny moments- like when she got breast implants and DX made it into a segment.

wonder if Mark Henry will be back. he is in town at the center

Apparently so is RVD...

 

[Linkified]

I could see them doing the rumble last with Punk winning so they can do the Tripple Threat

[cartoon_soldier]

Apparently, a Booker T action figure sale was inexplicably counted as a Hulk Hogan action figure sale for payout purposes. Wow. #WCWPanel

So sad

 

[Ithil]

So sad

I think Jericho mentioned that before. When in WCW, he got his own action figure, so he went out to a store and bought one to keep at home, and when scanned in it was registered as a Sting figure, so Sting would get the royalty money from the sale.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

The twitter stream is awesome

@arda_ocal
Nash says on private plane coming back from Nitro. Pecking order - they'd fly past Kev/Hall houses to drop Hogan off first. #WCWPanel

That's more than last year, isn't it? We had roughly 90 I think!

 

[Omega]

why does aj lee have odds to win the rumble?

putting aside that shes female, she doesn't even compete

 

[Kaladin]

We're going to need 4 rings to contain the Gaf Rumble this year.

 

[DKehoe]

That's more than last year, isn't it? We had roughly 90 I think!

Yeh, I think last year was about 90. I always think it will end up less than the previous year but it then ends up being more. The WrassleGAF Universe(tm) is expanding!

 

[strobogo]

So sad

WE COMIN FOR YOU, NIGGA!

 

[Entropia]

why does aj lee have odds to win the rumble?

Because we all know she probably will have a spot in the rumble. Didn't Beth have a spot a couple years ago?

 

[Aiii]

Because we all know she probably will have a spot in the rumble. YAY! Didn't Beth have a spot a couple years ago?

Fking fixed!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I think Jericho mentioned that before. When in WCW, he got his own action figure, so he went out to a store and bought one to keep at home, and when scanned in it was registered as a Sting figure, so Sting would get the royalty money from the sale.

No, the story was his girlfriend at the time bought a dual Jericho vs. Malenko pack at Toys 'R' Us. She called him and told him it rang up at the counter as a Hogan vs. Sting pack.

Sting is up in supermarket rafters changing barcodes

 

[Man God]

Scott Steiner is such a terrifying heel. He's going to beat the crap out of you and rape your girlfriend/mother/sister.

 

[Aiii]

Scott Steiner is such a terrifying heel. He's going to beat the crap out of you and rape your girlfriend/mother/sister.

Until you remember all those steroids most likely made him impotent.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

So very classy sir.

Why thank you, I doff my cap at you.

 

[Jamie OD]

So the mask arrived from Mexico!

Snazzy.

 

[billy beane]

Until you remember all those steroids most likely made him impotent.

Scott Steiner isn't on steroids silly. He's just a genetic freak.

 

[Man God]

The math proves it.

 

[Omega]

Because we all know she probably will have a spot in the rumble. Didn't Beth have a spot a couple years ago?

she actually competed, and was probably stronger than most dudes in the rumble

AJ couldn't even believably eliminate ryder or santino

What da hail!

 

[strobogo]

Scott Steiner is such a terrifying heel. He's going to beat the crap out of you and rape your girlfriend/mother/sister.

He'll rape everything. He don't give a fuck. HOLLAR. Tony and Hudson trying to justify why it was okay for Goldberg to jackhammer Midajah through a table, but was the worst thing every for Steiner to even look at Beth didn't fly for me. They're reasoning was that Midajah is a performer who has been involved in matches, so it is fair game for a 280 pound monster of a man to beat her up to make her boyfriend mad. Which, perhaps if it happened in a match or in the ring. But it didn't. Midajah wasn't even out there with Steiner, she did nothing to Goldberg. He went to the back, called her a whore, and put her through a table just to get back at Steiner.

Is that really any different than what Steiner did to Goldberg's girlfriend? I don't think so, but Tony and Scott insisted that they weren't even comparable.

 

[The Frankman]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, is our intelligence being insulted?

 

[sf2fanatic]
