It was always a work, but not in the traditional sense and so in that way you could say it was a move. Frankly it must've made Vince shake legitimately and with that I mean it must've made Vinny Mac pop a boner that one of his wrasslers on the roster still has balls.

I honestly couldn't care less. I have ZERO shame when it comes to my love for wrestling. I've been hyping up the fact I'm going to WrestleMania and wore my old-school Rick Rude shirt to work a couple of weeks back. Honestly, I think it's pretty damn sad if you have to hide what you enjoy. This isn't high school, man -- like what you like.

If the Chicago crowd is really organizing in a substantial fashion, the most damaging thing they could do is walk out of the arena in mass, our at least out onto the concourse.

My buddy works out at the same gym as Punk. Said that her wears a hoodie with the hood up the entire time he works out and that he has someone watch him as so not be bothered during his pump. Had I found this info out earlier I would have had him corner Punk in the locker room to get some scoops for you guys.

We should've hired The Rock to take him out!

Also holy shit that must be terrible if you have to have someone bodyguard you/work out in secret. Fuck that life.

Old Vince folded to Hogan and Warrior multiple times. He even folded to Honky Tonk Man. And HBK constantly in the 90s.



Starrcade 1998 REMASTERED

The difference is Warrior tried to get one over on Vince and failed, Hogan always succeed. So did HBK.

Starrcade 2000's main event is Scott Steiner versus Sid Vicious. Huh, I think I've seen this match somewhere before...

Question, is anybody else having issues with the network on their PCs? Normal streaming works ok but i can't get PPVs to work.

It works ok on my cellphone so i'm thinking i will keep it.

Yeah it won't work on Opera at all today. Switched to IE and it works fine. This fight is at least better than the one at Sin...

Just finished watching Summerslam 2013: One of my favorite PPVs ever. I'd put it up there with X-7 on the back of the two main events.

The ending is goddamn hilarious; Bryan wins, gets the whole pomp and circumstance/PPV is over, and THEN Orton shows up and pees on his porch. I was going crazy on the group Skype chat my friends do for PPVs;

'Well, the pyro went off, so it's all ove-uh oh'
'Wait..why is HHH still in the ring?'

Sigh.

Has anyone ever asked Piper what message he was trying to convey by painting himself half black at WM6? If there was a message at all, I sure can't figure out what it was.

To be a racist idiot.

He says he regrets ever doing it though.

Because the paint took days to get off.

Even that doesn't make sense. I'm going to paint myself half black to make you feel bad? I don't get it. His pre match promo edged near racist territory talking about Bad News' big eyes and nose, but that same promo could be made about any heel of any color without it being tied to any ethnic background. But then he pulls out the Michael Jackson glove and...I just don't understand what he's trying to say.

It's really deep stro. You see one half is Hot Scot while the other is Hot Rod. It's like that one episode of Star Trek, only nothing like it.

I found this article:

Recently, Roddy Piper was interviewed by The Score's Arda Ocal and discussed a couple of his most memorable WrestleMania moments. One of the moments that Piper discussed at length was his feud with Bad News Brown at WrestleMania VI, which saw Piper cutting a promo and wrestling the match with half of his body painted black. Here are the highlights:
On painting himself half-Black for WrestleMania VI: "First of all, you know, I was born in Saskatoon. There are no Black people that I know of that are dumb enough to go to a place that cold. [Laughs.] So, there's no racism in me at all.

"At the time, I was walking down the hall of some arena. Maybe the Hoosier Dome -- some place. I'm not sure. Vince McMahon says, 'Hot Rod, I need to speak with you.' I walked into a room and you could have cut the air with a knife. It was Bad News Brown, Pat Patterson and Vince McMahon. I said, 'What's going on?' He says, 'I want you to wrestle Bad News Brown at [WrestleMania VI].

"I'm looking at Bad News, who was a really good judo player and just a so-so professional wrestler. And here's what's going through my mind. I'm looking at him and I'm going, 'I'm going to have 45 interviews about this guy.' And I'm thinking Nelson Mandela at that time had said something that really stuck with me.

"Nelson Mandela was put in jail for 20-some years for political crimes. Every morning, he was the first man when the guard came to extend his hand to the guard. What a hell of a man. At the same time, Cindy Lauper had 'True Colors' out. In my mind, what I was trying to do -- there is no difference. I needed material on Bad News Brown. I did something where I sang 'True Colors' and I did a thing about Nelson Mandela. But, they don't seem to remember that. [Laughs.] The thing I didn't do so well was when I came down, I pretended to be Michael Jackson. I don't quite dance like Michael does, I guess. [Laughs.]

"So, [I got] just about the same reaction from you as I came out. Nothing. So, I had the match. I came back and the stuff they had painted me with, Vince had made special. So, when I broke a sweat, it wouldn't come off. There was a special clear solution to take this special black off. When I got there, the lady started rubbing my cheeks and in about five minutes, I started bleeding. Andre The Giant had taken that solution, poured it out and put water in it.

"Now, I'm in Toronto, half-Black. I decided that's there nothing much to do other than to go out drinking. So, I go and I'm drinking and I'm half-Black in the bar. Next morning -- and don't judge me -- I wake up and the door of my hotel room is blown completely off and there's a cowboy hat in the middle of my room. I don't know who's. [Laughs.] I wake up and I'm half Black. I got to go from Toronto to Portland, Oregon. I got a four foot Mickey Mouse with me that I bought for my daughter.

"So, because I didn't know -- I put the hat on, and I've got a four foot Mickey Mouse, a Halliburton and a hang over. And I'm half Black. ... I'm completely half black other than the scar under my eye. So, I'm going through Chicago and I'm going through customs. When you're half black and half white, they just go, 'Go right ahead.' They part like the Nile. In Chicago, I had to change planes and the flight attendant -- that I later called waitress, which really gets over -- wanted me to check Mickey because it was too big. So, I bought Mickey a first class seat and me and Mickey drank all the way to Portland, Oregon.

"The way I got it off was that I had to sit in the sauna. Took me about a month of rubbing this stuff off. But, what am I going to do? Go beat up Andre? [Laughs.] But the reason I painted myself half Black was more the meshing. I did the Nelson Mandela, I did the 'True Colors'. Bad News Brown didn't take it that way. So, I'm glad you asked me."

Eh, I'd say it's still done its main goal (Get Bryan way over). It just feels like it went on too long and whatnot.

Same thing happened with Goldberg; they wanted to slow burn it and it just went weird. HHH likes long angles.

Also, Bryan could do with getting one up on The Authority once in a while :p

Graves' entrance when he turned heel when he sulked to the ring, hanging on one of the ring post is one of the dumbest, laziest entrances today.
