Why is Mr T turning down money for anything in 2013? From what I've read, he wants nothing to do with WWE. He found it insulting that he was not the first celebrity inductee into the HOF dispute being the first celebrity to have a major role in WWE. He's refused all offers to be inducted ever since.

Yup. He posted this too: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} He took that shot? I wonder if he records on the shows he attends.

Mr T doesn't need WWE
He's OK doing World's Craziest Fools on the BBC

I will never understand this ass-backwards carny thinking in WWE. On-screen burials only harm the company don't buy it. No one has ever quit the company when newz says they have heat and most guys end up with more of a push eventually Plus, as far as I can recall you never see things like "WWE is blaming former IC champ and Nexus leader Wade Barrett for his broken arm due to being out of position when he was supposed to catch Dolph Ziggler as Big show eliminated him from the battle royal." It's always faces or tweeners or guys turning.

*sees that WWE is supposedly mad at No Job Rob, and supposedly buried him at 09/23 SD*
*tries to figure out if it's supposed to be 09/23 Raw or 09/27 SD"
*notices that RVD was protected in both cases, whether by winning the match on Monday, or by having Kofi eat the pin on SD*
Oh, yeah, of course. RVD has been buried.

Get Triple H on the case.

I like RVD, but I wouldn't be too upset if he didn't re-sign. There hasn't been any real benefit to his return. I would argue against that and I personally don't like the guys work, people are super into him and what he does and when that happens they make noise for him, a noisy crowd can make an otherwise mediocre RAW fun. But is he necessary when they have other guys on the roster who can get decent reactions from the crowd. Kofi Kingston Dolph Ziggler Prime Time Players (as much as I dislike their face turn) Cody Rhodes once they put him back on TV The Miz R-Truth Santino Marella Zack Ryder Alex Riley are all capable of popping the crowd. Even a heel like Damien Sandow or Fandango can get the crowd to make noise.

Lashley seems like a guy who liked wrestling, but hates travel. Because he still does igf and a couple of indies.
He also should be in the ufc right now with their heavyweight division. Doing something. Guy has had enough time fighting on regional cards.
Or if bellator signs him at least joe could get his win back

RVD doesn't need to re-sign from what I understand, his deal is an off and on thing, work this length of time, get that length off. The new contract thing, if there's real deal was probably, hey we'll give you this much more if you you drop the time off part

Maybe not, but they'll never get to that level as long as WWE continues to rely on past stars as a crutch. RVD is a good hand to bring in for milestone shows like the Xth episode of RAW or the Nth anniversary of SmackDown or as a Royal Rumble surprise entrant, but other than that, I feel that his presence is more of a hindrance than a help.

Awww, I intentionally removed Alex Riley from that list to see if you'd notice and react, ya didn't.

The RVD thing makes zero sense. If he's already 90 days on and then off...isn't he already signed? I can certainly see why WWE would want him full time minus the off time because it becomes a frustrating thing trying to book a guy 90 days at a time and then have to write him out. I don't understand why he is supposedly buried though. If it was this week's SD they're talking about he beat the crap out of Del Rio with a chair and wound up in a 6 man tag where Kofi ate the pin. The Orton beatdown on Raw wasn't really a burial either since he didn't even lose the match (double count out) and the whole thing was done to 1) Put more heel heat on Orton and 2) Put sympathy on RVD going into the Del Rio PPV match. The days make no sense either considering he didn't start back until July 15 at MITB, which would put that 90 day thing around mid October.
I bet they put the belt on him at the PPV, haha. It will just be an excuse for a Sandow cash in on the battered RVD.

Awww, I intentionally removed Alex Riley from that list to see if you'd notice and react, ya didn't. I know you did, but I just don't feel like going on another overly long Alex Riley is being held down rant. I know that people here pretty much mock me for my love of Riley, and I know that it's sad, pathetic and hopeless to hold out hope that he'll get a push, but I like the guy regardless and want to see him get another shot in the ring, even as just a jobber. Also, Daniel Bryan looks a lot better clean cut, I miss LOLHEEL Punk promos, Zack Ryder isn't as bad as he's made out to be (they wouldn't have him in a host role on WWE Classics if he was such an "abysmal talker") Miz is an awesome face and Cameron is the most entertaining part of Total Divas and I would date her just to hear her tell me that I'm thebomb.com.

Ya know, I think I'd be ok if Bubbeh came back to duminade. He may not have been the best on the mic, but he was pretty damn good in the ring.
And he had an awesome theme.

Wrestling's not real, ya marks. That makes it more reasonable actually because if it was an unscripted show, it would be out of the company's control to stop something from that happening. It is stupid for them to complain though. Congratulations to Daniel Bryan. I have always been a big advocate for cheese, but not enough to reproduce with it.

"It is reported Roddy Piper is not in WWE 2K14, because Mr. T would not agree to the license putting him in the game."
makes it sound like Mr. T somehow has ownership over Roddy Piper

I actually feel the same way, to be honest. I wouldn't mind him coming back at all. Especially if they got someone to talk for him (Heyman, Zeb, etc)
