Is anyone denying this? Fuck no.

He's Dave 'The Bastard' Mastiff, a big, fat bastard who's scarily agile and fast and crushes his opponents with all manner of suplexes, powerbombs and splashes. MASTIFF RULES!

Negative. He's a fat fuck who looks gross and needs to hit the gym so he doesn't look so disgusting that he alone makes me want to bomb the UK back to mainland Europe and then split them off again after I steal all their tea.

Man I seem to have the worst of luck with picking my first live show I go to. Now a third guy is hurt (Ilja Dragunov).

No way Rusev is debuting on the main roster soon if he lost to Kofi in this week's NXT. He'll stick around until this set of tapings ends at least.

That or Kofi is getting a super push.

They probably mean he will debut soon after Wrestlemania. It's rare they debut anyone in the Road to Wrestlemania since they would get lost in the shuffle. Fandango is the only guy I can recall in a long while that debuted during the Road.

Sounds reasonable. He can be this year's Curtis Axel, beating Cena once by count-out and completely losing his push as the audience, for some reason WWE doesn't understand, are not 100% behind him because of that massive win.

Fuck Vader. He's utterly worthless in 2013, unlike Mastiff, who's currently one of the best big men in European wrestling. Not that anyone outside of Europe gives a shit about European wrestling...their loss, I guess.

Fuck the promotion for bringing him in and not realizing what he was in 2013, which is a nearly 60 year old broken down wrestler who hasn't been a full time competitor in about a decade. Bringing him in and then being pissed he couldn't do anything is on them. And for people in the company to publicly shit on him is so unprofessional. That's some Ziggler/Ryder shit right there. Why would any names want to stop into the promotion if their staff/workers are going to put their negative shit out in public like that? You handle that shit internally.

Chair spot was just dumb? Why did he pogo it, when he could just push off the announcers table and wheel over?

Oh and Jomo's Rumble spot > all of Kofi's combined.

I'm shocked that you would need to ask such a question, Kofi's gimmick is the guy who jumps, no way was he going to wheel it over when he could pogo it over and live the gimmick.

So, Sting is apparently in negotiations again?

I honestly don't know why he doesn't just sign the deal and do the match, it's not like he is being better used in TNA.

Also, I saw the OSW review of the whole Arquette angle and man, was WCW a clusterfuck by the end. I mean I knew it was but I had never actually witness part of it. Insane.

Are you kidding? He just got done putting over Magnus and making him a huge star and he's about to do the same for ECIII. He's creating the future of this business while others his age can barley handle a part-time schedule.

I don't really want to see Sting vs Undertaker at their age now, but I gotta say Sting would probably make more money wrestling one match with Undertaker than he does doing everything he does in TNA for a year.

Doesn't everyone get paid something like 1,000$ per appearance?

Sting probably gets paid more by the WWE -now- in royalties.

So not worth it
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley wrote on his Facebook page that his current deal with WWE will soon be coming to an end.
In regard to his relationship with the company going forward, Foley wrote, "My official contract with WWE runs out soon, but we have mutually agreed to continue to work together on a case-by-case handshake deal – the same way I did some of my best work (remember the 2004 Randy Orton program) with WWE in the past. The only minor difference (other than not getting a weekly check…ouch) is that I will work prospective WWE dates and projects around my schedule, instead of working my schedule around prospective dates. With the success of my live shows (thanks everyone) I needed more flexability in my schedule. But WWE has shown some interest in partnering with me on these live shows in the future, and a WWE produced, first-class, multi-media one-man Mick Foley show has always been my long-term goal. As WWE showed with the roll-out of the new network, when they go into something, they go ALL in – and I’m crossing my fingers, hoping they’ll go ALL in on a fall 2014 15th anniversery “HAVE A NICE DAY” production – even if it’s just for a limited run."

Some StroFamily updates:

StroMomo still has one little spot that isn't healing and they may go back in to take more tissue out. She has her port in and starts chemo tomorrow. Went wig shopping today.

StroGrandma likely has a borked ankle. She's a diabetic and falls from time to time. The last time she fell, she twisted her ankle on the way down. Didn't hurt for the first few days, but now she can barely walk on it. Same thing happened a few years ago when she was walking on a broken ankle for 2 weeks before she went to the doctor. She also broke her hip about 2 years ago. We'll see. She's one of those old broads who won't go to the doctor unless she's dying.

I don't think I'd want to see Sting come back and lose. Even to Undertaker. Sting is just a bigger star in my mind even if that may not be true now. My last memory of him is the last WCW show. I don't want to see him now since he's likely much older and probably not the same.

I am afraid.

Wait are you serious? Since when is Magnus a huge star? If he is a "star" is because of the angle with Styles not with Sting.

Undertaker and Sting should do DDP Yoga together in preparation for the match. See if they can both lose the gut.
Click to expand...

The big difference is Undertaker taker is still doing 4-5 star matches with the gut. When was Sting's last 4 star match?

His match with Magnus was not great at all and if he signs with the WWE he got to take that shirt off and work with someone that can work to carry him to a good match.

edit: Found it. Stings last 4 star or better match was with Vader in 1993 yikes!

That's like getting the death kiss. Poor guy.

I still haven't figured out if the heat Dixie gets it's because she's a good heel or if people just want her out of the building. What a mess that whole story is.

I agree. Sting's work as of late doesn't match Taker.

But I think the reason for that is that Taker simply has more motivation to bring a great match. He is wrestling in front of 80 thousand people while Sting is performing in high school gyms.

Taker's opponents are also better than Magnus and the Aces and Eights gang.

Her biggest claim to fame is holding the belt for 10+ years. Which isn't such a good thing when you realize that she owned the title and just refused to ever put anyone over. Further to that, she's probably the reason why no one takes women's wrestling seriously:

The reason women's pro-wrestling in North America was and still in large part today considered a joke and just an opportunity to oggle at tits and asses is largely in part thanks to the way Moolah trained her girls and how Moolah wrestled. Moolah was not a good worker. Her wrestling style considered of hair pulling snapmare, headlocks, clotheslines and nothing else. Those that argue that women's wrestling was always like that and Moolah did nothing to change it are ignorant. In the '30s and '40s, female wrestling employed shooters and they wrestled in the traditional sense of the term. Tits and asses were used to advertise and get them in the building, but the girls worked longer and more technically sound matches than today. The champion was always a shooter, and the matches for the championship and leading up to the main event had to be high caliber. The reason Japanese women's wrestling was light years ahead of North American's is because of one person and one person only - Moolah. Mildred Burke, the original women's champion, popularized female wrestling in the world in the '30s. Japan, Canada, Mexico and America can trace women's wrestling directly to her. She used a hard hitting style and outside of being an attractive woman, her matches were no different from the men's matches of her day. Moolah was inspired by Burke, but could not work as well as her. Moolah was not a good worker and so the style she passed onto her trainees once she took over women's pro-wrestling in North America was Moolah-based. Moolah was never a shooter."
Click to expand...

That in itself isn't so bad, she worked with what she had and made a career with backstage power and limited talent which makes her no worse than the Triple H/Nash/Cena/Stings etc. of the world.

What makes her a terrible human being is the fact that she used her prominence to train lady wrestlers, then gave them a huge bill for the training, then literally pimped them out in order to pay off their "debts".
From the same article -

Lets get this out of way first, so I don't have to dance around the subject - Moolah was a pimp. From her sprawling 42 acre estate in Colombia, South Carolia, Moolah would send out her half-trained underage female-wrestlers to "photo shoots" that would by the standards of today be considered pedophilia and pornography. She sent trainees to wrestling promoters in set numbers. Renting them out to promoters in bulk, with the understanding that the girls would have sex with the promoter and all the wrestlers on the roster who wanted them. Promoters liked free sex, but what they also liked is for boys not to go outside looking for it and possibly running into trouble. Sex on a road with a steady and pliant group of semi-attractive women in return for money, that is what Moolah offered. The women that were sent out on this tours were not told of this "arrangement" ahead of time. They found out about it on the road. Those that refused to have sex with promoters and wrestlers, were raped. (see: Luna Vachon's, Sherri Martel's, and Susie McCoy's shoot interviews).
Click to expand...

I remember reading one article about a woman she had basically kidnapped and brought on the road. They let this woman out for an hour once to visit her family, then when the woman didn't want to leave again with Moolah and her posse they just beat the fuck out of the woman's family until she left with them. Can't seem to find it right at the moment though.

As someone who has been around many seriously ill people throughout my life, best wishes to your family. Hope it goes well.

I believe those things about Moolah have been known for many years and no one seemed to care. There were also rumors that she made her trainees perform sexual favors for her as well, but I don't think anyone has ever confirmed anything like that.

Best of luck, man. Glad things are going smoothly.

My mother just came out of a nasty decline (and teased death) after recovering from cardiovascular surgery on her legs. She lost her left one, with the right one barely healing...but she'll keep it. For nearly 3 weeks, she couldn't get used to breathing on her own and just couldn't keep secretions out of her esophagus on her own; resulting in the constant need to put her on a breathing tube over and over. Only yesterday she really improved, now able to talk, have vivid conversations, move her arms, etc. It's damn near a miracle. It was the most difficult 3 weeks for me, ever.

Back OT: I can't be any more excited about the surprise spots for the RR...
