The only thing that worries me about that is that in the event his WWE tenure bombs, El Generico remains locked within the WWE Phantom Zone Universe while the now TAFKA El Generico has to tweak his well established persona for an indie return. I'm hoping for a nice Antonio Cesaro compromise where he's the same guy with a new WWE name that won't pin him down. However that's really asking much when it's friggin' El Generico we're talking about.

I really don't think the WWE would let "el generico" fly, he'll prob keep the same gimmick but a different name. I also have a strange hunch he'll end up tagging with "El Local" at some point.

Generico trademarked his name a few years ago, so I assume he'd keep it if he left WWE.

I don't think the trademark is even needed. Lance Storm has said that if you came up with it before you got to WWE, it's yours, unless you're the Dudleys. I can't think of anyone else that invalidates his claim.

DDP posted a video on his YouTube account where him and Jake call up Scott Hall, as a plead for help from Sean Waltman. Quite a tearjerker.

I hope Hall accepts the help DDP is willing to give him. I really don't want to be reading "RIP Hall" or coming to the Scott Hall Memorial Thread anytime soon.

Damn.... This just further cements how good of a dude DDP is.

I think the fact that he needs to film it and post it online diminishes how good of a dude he is. Kind of trashy if you ask me to do that. That is the sort of good deed you do in private.

Point. However, the fact that he's taking on this daunting task (if Hall even accepts, which I'm sure he does or else DDP wouldn't have posted the video without Hall's prior approval) of trying to clean up Scott Hall is something in itself.

The fact that he's helped out Jake and hundreds of other "normal people" with his program and hospitality kind of cements that he's a good enough guy.

DA HAIL?

Did I just see an awesome mixed tag match? What dimension am I in?

Damn, I'm kind of surprised how good Jake is looking. Good to see some people can manage to turn it around.

hey guys

I won a WWE twitter contest back in November and finally received the tickets. I have 2 tickets to wrestlemania ($150 face value) and 2 general admission tickets to axxess the night before from 6-10pm ($90 face value)

wrestlemania tickets arent too bad. they're in the higest level concourse (section 324, 5th row) but almost directly across from the set.

id like to sell the whole group together for $200. price is negotiable. send me a PM if interested. thanks

The axxes tickets for that time frame seem kind of shitty because that is the time period they would be holding the Hall of Fame ceremony. So, unless those grant you access to that more than likely you wont be seeing anyone worth mentioning I would think.

Right now I'm assuming it does not. Kind of annoyed because the Blu-Ray otherwise has a lot more content than the DVD, but if those matches aren't on there, there is no way to get a any version that has everything there is to offer on the set. If the Best Buy version of the Blu-Ray doesn't have the two extra matches, I just assume get it from Amazon...same price and I'd rather give them my business. So, if anyone bought the Blu-Ray at Best Buy, let me know if those two matches actually are on there.

We can now reveal the content planned for the Best Buy exclusive Best of WCW Monday Nitro Vol. 2 DVD (pre-order on BestBuy.com). There will be two extra matches included on their version, which are listed below. Rey Mysterio & Lord Steven Regal vs. Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko 3rd November, 1997 WCW United States Championship Match Sting vs. Bret “Hit Man” Hart 5th October, 1998 In the United States these two extra matches will only be present on Best Buy’s store exclusive DVD. They will not be included on the Blu-ray edition. For the United Kingdom and Australia the Best of Nitro Vol. 2 DVD will include these extras as standard.

One of the guys at my local BBY noticed that I had the BD version in my hand and started started talking about it. I asked whether any of the BD's had the extra content but he had no idea.

I went ahead and picked up the BD version since it had exclusive content, but I have been contemplating returning it and picking up the dvd version and trying to find the BD on the cheap later on.

To compare vs the Best Buy DVD exclusive matches, here's the Blu-Ray exclusive content:

THAT...was a good thing.

What's trashy is when people look for an opportunity to diminish and disparage someone's kind act. That's the sort of deed that should be kept private.

It is trashy.

Thanks for the Nitro Blu info...I guess I'll get it since it still has far more than the DVD version even with the two extra matches on the BB DVD (plus I was at the Luger/Hogan title change match on the Blu), but it still sucks there is no baseline parity between the BB versions.

this is so great to see.

yea, they arent hall of fame tickets, just axxess. sheamus is supposed to be there from 6-7:30 for VIP ticket holders, not sure what these general admission tickets get you though

You all realize that youtube actually pays people who upload videos, right? If you have a really popular channel, it can amount to a good chunk of money.

Just saying that there is really no reason why DDP needs to film this stuff. Granted lots of people would like to see it, but that doesn't mean it needs to be done.
