She used to be pretty terrible on the mic, like so many of the Divas, but this last 9/10 months as a heel have made her a lot better.
Eve's potential MMA style offense (she's starting to incorporate some of it in, anyway) versus AJ's more high flying (and yes, flexible) style, good match.
The best stable Layla has ever been in.
lol what in the blue hell
War Games 2000: Russo's Revenge is so bad. Team Russo, which consisted of Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, WCW Champion Kevin Nash, Vince Russo, and the Harris Brothers vs Sting, Booker T, Kronik, and Goldberg. It was in the 3 tiered Ready to Rumble cage. The rules were that to win the match, someone must climb to the 3rd cage, retrieve the belt, and make it out of the cage with the belt. Even though it was a team match and the champion was on one of the teams, anyone who walks out with the belt wins it.
Sting and Jarrett start off with some brawling, Steiner comes out next. So some double teaming happens for a bit. Then Kronik comes out. Then Russo comes out and brings the Harris Brothers who aren't actually a part of the match, I guess. He immediately gets a beat down from Sting. Next up is Kevin Nash, who does THE WORST teasing of a turn I've ever seen. He attempts a chokeslam on Jarrett, Steiner, and Russo, but with the most half assed, this shit is fake and I want a beer posture and facial expressions he's ever had in his career. It's so awkward and stupid and no one bought into it in the slightest. The next out is Booker. Last man out is Goldberg. The only guy anyone cared about and was chanting for. He comes out and is immediately taken out by Vince Russo and a bat, and then handcuffed in the corner. Sting is also handcuffed in the second cage. Kronik and the Harris Bros have brawled away somewhere and are no longer even in the arena. Because you see the bottom cage has a door that isn't locked, and also a giant, man sized gap for the camera man that is about as wide as a door. So people are coming and going anyway.
Booker gets the belt, crowd pops thinking he won the match, since that'd be the logical thing, but Tony has to remind the viewers that those aren't the rules. Apparently they weren't explained to the live crowd. So Book brings the title down to the ring and is ambushed. Russo now has the belt, taunts Goldberg with it, and The CAT has a run in. He kicks Vince in the face and takes the belt, holds it up like he is going to walk out with it, only to get powerbombed by Nash. Goldberg, who has been almost catatonic from one bat shot to the back from Vince Russo, see Nash with the belt, breaks the cuffs, kicks Nash down, takes out Jarrett and Steiner, and punches Russo. So now he has the belt. He's about to walk out of the cage, and instead of just walking through the door that was already open, or the door sized hole next to it, he stands there so someone can slam the door in his face. That someone is Bret Hart. However, Goldberg no sold it completely, but was hit with a pipe by Steiner. So now Steiner has the belt. And then Jarrett has the belt. And then Russo has the belt. Then he gives it to Nash and they hug. Still world champion, Kevin Nash. Who literally took one bump and stood on the outside of the ring almost the entire time he was involved. It's so bad. And its 20 minutes total for a 3 cage match with 10 or 11 guys involved. TNA has a long way to go to get to that level of stupid and shitty.

I wish Kelly would come back.
The best stable Layla has ever been in.
No I think she can model for pictures just fine without ever coming near a WWE ring again.
I liked her theme music.
I hated it.
You might think I'm being overly hateful (in that "everything about that person is stupid!" way), but I would have hated that music even if Daniel Bryan used it.

Funny enough, I loved LayCool's theme when Kaval had to use it.

I promise no more than one or two posts from me if Punk/Ryback goes sideways. I can't be bothered to rage anymore.
Screw that stupid idiot, Kelly's only a GIMMICK, she's not even really a blonde bimbo, it's just an act to draw in guys, she's a POSER!

Like Juvi used to say with his amazing La Cucaracha gimmick - "La Cucaracha say..."
At this time, The Undertaker's physical health is becoming a concern for WWE officials. 'Taker badly damaged the replaced hip he got several years ago during his WrestleMania 28 match with Triple H. The Undertaker was flying to New York to meet with doctors but now WWE has been paying to fly the doctors to The Undertaker's house in Texas because it's becoming such a frequent process.
The talk as of now is that Undertaker may work the Royal Rumble, make his entrance, do a few spots and then get eliminated.
As far as working WrestleMania goes, it is being left up to Undertaker as we've been reporting. It is also being said that if he does work WrestleMania, it will not be an intense of physical match like he has had the last few years.

The money he's made and badassery he's gotten to perform is great but looking at a third hip at 49 is crazy.

Not this year. If your going to do that match Ryback has to run crazy for the next year and win the Championship at least once. Then he wins next years Rumble and turns down the title matches to face Taker. Start printing money.

It was just a joke i would fully expect Ryback to hurt Taker.
It was Lesnar it came early and ended early

Why wouldn't they do that match if The Ryback was over enough? He would be a great guy to add to Takers streak.

The CHIKARA stream has started.

Takers too old he wouldn't be able to take the stress of that match. Plus putting him in there with Ryback would be a danger to Takers body. I can see them doing Ryback vs Lesnar though
EDIT: Free stream you say
Undertaker seems to be really beat up and might not even be at Wrestlemania. He might show up for the Royal Rumble buts thats it.

I didn't get a chance to catch "Tales of Masked Men" when it was aired on VOCES, but I managed to watch it today.
I really like the idea that the masks that some of the wrestlers wear and the names they use are totemic; it's an idea that has some strong parallels to American superheroes, and I've always had the thought running in the back of my mind, but I've never really been able to codify it as well as it was presented in this documentary.
I found it interesting how close Lucha Libre's roots are to the other forms of wrestling out there. I had always assumed that it started in Mexico outright. But apparently it stems from the same Grecco-Roman influences as Catch wrestling, and when it made its way to Mexico, it adopted a whole bunch of pre-Hispanic cultural influences. I'm reminded of the Congolese wrestlers that were mentioned in February's OT, and how there seemed to be a mix of WWE's style of wrestling and an amalgamated version of wrestling with staged witchcraft (they call it "fetish wrestling" for some reason.)
It's a fascinating documentary. I should probably check out the other parts of VOCES, even though those are about other parts of Latin-American culture and history.
Wrestling game betrayals are the best, because they're pretty much part of the game already. It'd be weird if you didn't stab the other player in the back every chance you got.
Now Mario Party... that's a game series that breaks homes and ruins friendships. That's the one you gotta watch out for.

He did face Sting as part of his first streak - WCW Monday Nitro [9/14/1998]
That list is missing tons of info. There's no Thunder data, no WCW Saturday Night, no WCW Worldwide. Goldberg defended his U.S. title on those shows too.

Taker would only be taking a couple big moves and he's not taking anything he's not comfortable with plus Taker could control a good portion of the match on the ground with his MMA. He's not taking 20 plus chair shots like this year.
As for Brock vs The Ryback I keep thinking of Vince salivating at the thought of those beast in the ring.
Hope the match goes alot better than Brock vs Goldberg.
They were both leaving so I don't think any fucks were given.

neither guy really cared going in and once the crowd gave them shit it became a fuck you your really not getting anything type of deal. Brock and The Ryback would be great.
