Punk will be the new Macho Man. Every year, people will beg for his induction, and every year, it will either be an outright no, or a close but no cigar.
It's alright, they'll probably quit after awhile.

I wonder how much will really change once Triple H takes over-namely if he will ease up on shit like what lingo you can use. Triple H has always seemed to have a hard on for NWA, so I think if people want more wrestling, we will probably get more wrestling. Also if Madusa put over Eric Bischoff in her speech I am going to have to go and watch that speech like yesterday.

Like Vince is going to stay mad at Shawn for very long. As soon as they feel they need a DX reunion, it will be water under the bridge. He played a key part in a match at the granddaddy of them all less than 24 hours later

He played a key part in a match at the granddaddy of them all less than 24 hours later I was thinking along the lines of what business they were going to do after Mania weekend. I'm sure the stable alignment in Sting vs. Triple H match was already finalized by then, so even if they pissed each other off, they were still going to do the show before considering how much resentment there was going to be.

Madusa didnt put Bischoff over, she pulled his booked out of the trash can and put it aside and said, "but we're still friends" Is that really putting someone over? You cant tell me that they didnt now she was going to pull Bischoff's book out of the trash? I could have swore he worked for the company for several years anyways..
She did however say Shit (muted) Ass and Bitch several times.

This is a control think with Vince, and in an odd way I know he respects Shawn and Nash to a lesser extent, because if Vince was a "sports entertainer" or "wrestler" or whatever the hell you want to call it, he's be doing the EXACT same thing-what he wants, I believe he calls it "Ruthless Aggression" To get mad about someone using the word "strap" and "wrestler" is beyond ridiculous coming from a guy that killed 90% of the f***ing industry I don't believe it's as much of a control thing with Vince as much as it is a branding thing. The WWE brand (which is Steph's responsibility, is being pulled out of the old carny days and into the 21st century.

Oh Vince, still bitter about the actions of a competing company that you beat to the brink of bankruptcy, bought, and mothballed 15 years ago. "IT'S STILL THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS TO ME DAMMIT!"

As for the control part I mentioned, I Kind of thought it might be, because I will always think back to a remark made by a wrestler anonymously in the ECW book about Vince getting mad when he sneezes, because he had no control over it. A sneeze.

They wanted to do Razor and Diesel so they could later induct the nWo as Hall, Nash, and Hogan. They didn't want to induct all 3 of these guys under the same names in the Hall before that. I really dislike that idea. If you have all the dude's that were in a faction in the Hall of Fame, then that faction is already in the Hall of Fame. Let some other long overdue guy get in, rather than trot out Oz, then Vinnie Vegas, then Diesel, then Kevin Nash, then Super Shredder, then the Russian from Punisher. I know, the Hall is a bullshit thing for people on good terms with Vince rather than an actual honoring of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but still. Worse than that, at least for me, is that it erases the totality of a guy's career. Scott Hall has been the Diamond Studd, "Big" Scott Hall, Razor Ramon, and the founder of the nWo. He's wrestled all over the world for tons of promotions, with a career that stretches back well before 1992, his debut year in WWF. If a guy is a Hall of Famer, then induct his entire career; you can induct him as a member of a stable later, ala the way the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame will do something like inducting the individual Beatles and them as a group, but don't short change a gigantic portion of the guy's career. Otherwise, make it a Hall of Fame of gimmicks, not performers. If they get around to inducting Rick Martel, are they just going to want to induct "The Model", or are we going to at least hear something about his days as AWA Champion?

I love that Vince thinks that he can control the actions of HBK or Nash that DON'T even work for the company. One day someone's speech is going to be them going up there and giving Vince the double bird before walking off. lol He'd get an hour long standing ovation. LOL

Has it even been more than speculation that they wanted Razor and Diesel in so they could induct Hall and Nash as the nWo later on? It makes way more sense that they just want to induct a name they own. It's why Madusa went in as Alundra. Sting will probably go in as "the Vigilante" Sting.
Also, Vince is a freaking moron.
