Sweet. I'm glad they did that segment early. I wanted to play NHL 10 very badly before going to sleep.
That was the first time since the RVD Title Quest that I actually got extremely excited in a wrestling angle. But really... you can tell Vince is heavily involved in planning this angle. He seemed like a kid in a candy factory sometimes during that promo. Like he was just so excited watching it unfold.

Is there a thread in TNA stating that Russo has left TNA? I'm too lazy to look

That smile on McMahon's face as HBK was walking down just screamed "Hah another sucker who thought it was real all this time"

I've lobbied for the Crow gimmick to return a number of times in TNA. But I'll be damned if TNA tries to have Sting do the Crow gimmick while Hogan reunites the nWo... and they try to push the nWo as faces.

This is stupid as hell. It should be done by the state's Boxing Commissions standards. I'm guessing it's Nevada, right? I mean they are the ones that sanction the fight, so shouldn't they be the ones setting the rules for this?

My god... her face slants funny.
That pic also may be the smoking gun in the whole "Ashley is a tranny" argument.

Bats in ,Orton out. Evolution-name out, DX in. Bats = Chyna Flair = Rude
They'd act like the original incarnation of DX prior to Michaels retiring. Shawn and Hunter feud 4 to 5 months later over who started DX and who the leader is. Batista is lost in the shuffle. Flair turns on HBK. Batista given ultimatum to choose sides. Batista doesn't, becomes tweener but never all that over. HHH takes Flair as a manager.. and HBK gets beat at WM by HHH.

Some funny things from the bios From Brodie Lees bio: 3) What are you favorite TV shows, movies and music? TV:Curb Your Enthusiasm, Big Bang Theory, Two And A Half Men, Jersey Shore, People's Court From Gran Akumas: 3) What are you favorite TV shows, movies and music? I listen to a lot of Punk and Ska, with a particular love for covers, the more random and inappropriate the better Just found those funny A ska lover? Give this man a rude boy gimmick with a Streetlight Manifesto song as his entrance song... then turn him into an indie kid and give him Ted Leo's "Where have all the Rude Boys gone?" as a theme song. Perfect.

Like I said, yeah, Shawn should apologize for that stuff, but I don't think he has anything to apologize for as far as the actual screwjob, he did what he was told. The only person who should aplogize at all is Vince, and even then, he had his reasons. My bad. Way too late for my head to be reading and replying. Totally misread.

You know... the more think about it, as far as the situation goes... why should Shawn apologize anyway? I mean I can see apologizing for saying he didn't know about it (on account of not wanting to get decked like Vince did), or their past of him being a prick.. but for the ACTUAL screwjob? It wasn't Shawn's call. He did what his boss told him to do. By the accounts of those that are in the shoot category, Shawn told Bret afterwards he had nothing to do with it. Bret told him he could prove it by not saying he had anything to do with it and was outraged like him the next night. Shawn promised Bret he wouldn't ham it up the next night at Bret's expense because he wouldn't betray his trust. Well.. yeah. Plus, from Shawn's own accounts he was just a complete prick towards everyone and was impossible to work with.

Kurt Angle without a doubt. He was major player for pretty much all of 2000's and put on the some of the most still talked about matches of the decade, while continuing to do so. Michaels has put on some great matches, but nowhere near on the consistency that Angle did.

That video does two things.
Reminds you how awesome late 90's wrestling was. Unpredictable and even the best of us weren't sure how much was real and how much was fake.
Bret's return to the WWF and not having Owen, Davey or Brian able to make a cameo is extremely saddening.

You know.. just judging by the accounts you get of people these days through teh googlez, I can see Shawn giving a legitimate heartfelt apology to Bret behind closed doors and Bret accepting. It might not make them friends, but they will get along fine professionally.
Triple H on the other hand. I have a feeling there will be some really crappy stories about Hunter coming out of this ordeal. I'm really scared Triple H tries to be funny and "edgy" and makes an Owen joke or try to say it was Bret's fault. At which point Bret storms off, quits , leaves McMahon without his big money WM angle and McMahon calls up Jim Hellwig to be Hunter's opponent for WM27 to "reward" him.

Hah.. watch Bret come back and really enjoy being in the biz again. Vince offers Bret the job as booker and gets to lay out storylines and who gets pushes, basically the big picture guy while Steph's job gets to changed to basically just writing what Bret wants. Triple H's is then caught sleeping with Chyna again.

This is kind of what I am referring to. Why do they HAVE to do some angle about Montreal? Is there some unwritten rule? Lest we forget, Austin got arrested for beating his wife-they did not mention it on the air. McMahon got put on trial for steroids-they did not mention it on television. And of course, there has been a glaring lack of the name Benoit on WWE television for a while now. When it comes to such intensely controversial and personal subject matter, WWE does tend to actually leave it out. And as I said, for all 3 men it is probably something they prefer leave in the past. So just why do they absolutely have to make something of it on the air? Because Austin becoming a wife-beater on TV is not good for business. Benoit being a murderer is not good for business. McMahon being on trial was not good for business. The screwjob is the last thing that people like me who grew up on the nWo and the Attitude era care about. Do you want to find out where that other 3.0 to 4.0 rating share from the market era went? It's people like me who hardly tune in anymore and people who don't tune in at all anymore. We haven't generated an emotional attachment to any of the new wrestlers enough that it makes us want to buy pay per views. It's the one last thing left from wrestlings past that can still draw money. WWE would not have paid to get Bret Hart to come back (that surely didn't come cheap) unless they were going to capitalize on this.
