Shit, I remember being an 8 year old obsessed with what was inside that egg. I'm still not sure what the it was.

A turd(ucken).

I think Camacho is out with an injury, an ACL tear maybe.

edit: No, wait. That's Hunico.

Bringing this over from the other thread re: Attitude Era DVD

There is no blurring of the WWF “scratch” logo present on the DVD footage, nor muting of any WWF utterances. The only ‘bleeps’ present are for swear words that had already been censored on broadcast TV originally. A couple of crowd signs are blurred (due to copyright or sensitivity), but language, middle fingers, and blood are all left intact throughout.

doc is one hour or so and moves quickly, the rest of the 8 hours are matches/segments. Apparently Russo is interviewed.

also, best of WCW Nitro details:

For six years WCW Monday Nitro went head-to-head with WWE Raw pulling out all the stops to gain the upper hand in the escalating Monday Night War. The place “where the big boys play” produced such a wealth of non-stop thrills action drama and controversy that we could not possibly scratch the surface in one volume. Host Diamond Dallas Page returns to present Volume 2 of the wildly successful Best of WCW Nitro series. Sports entertainment fans will relive eight more hours of the poisonous n.W.o, electrifying cruiserweights and unparalleled star power that delivered an endless supply of timeless matches and moments. All the greatest WCW stars are included such as Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Sting Kevin Nash Rey Mysterio Eric Bischoff Goldberg and more. Plus check out the Nitro Girls Nitro parties, WCW’s spring break bashes, celebrity integration, and several matches never-before-released on DVD

To be fair, WCW never really put out any DVD's (only VHS), so aside from volume 1 and a few compilations, most matches have never been on DVD.

Most people thought it was going to be Dibiase's mystery partner inside the egg at the time. Part of me kind of wishes it was and they combined the two gimmicks. Huge guy in all black with a turkey head emerges from the egg, then dances with Mean Gene before tombstoning him.

Interested to how Ambrose does now that he has been moved up. One of the few indy darlings I'm legitimately excited to see on a big stage.

Chuck Norris, Ray Combs, Jerry Lawler's 3 knights, Doink, Dink, Pink, and (twink? ) - the "thanksgiving night tradition" is historically a bevvy of wrestlecrap.

Not sure that they'll capitalize on these guys going after Ryback. Remember how amped you were about the NXT revolt that led to D.Brine's firing for the necktie chokehold? Remember how you felt 4 weeks later when John Cena, recently fired, showed up on Raw wearing kneepads under his jeanshorts?

Yeah, that's the quality of work I anticipate from WWE at this point.

Yep. At this point I expect the WWE to have Goldbe... I mean Ryback squash all these guys at the next PPV and will be quickly forgotten about five minutes later.

The news about the Attitude era collection is good news. Same with the Nitro volume 2 one. I'll probably get both although I'll need to check the match listing for the Attitude one, it might be tons of stuff that I already have elsewhere.

OK...who is Jon Moxley?

EDIT: Never mind, just did a little research on him. He hasn't been anywhere I've ever followed except a little DGUSA.

It's 2012, and the Survivor Series card included CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Tyler Black, and Jon Moxley. Weird.

Throwing this into this new ark because we went through several years of garbage and it's hopefully time to rejoice,

And because it's quite possibly the last time in the foreseeable future where I'll reference the Linda McMahon senate failures.

Cue the "this confirms 2012 is the end of the world" posts.

I truly hope this is the beginning of a page turn for WWE. Like most people who frequent these threads, I've been a lifelong wrasslin fan, want to like WWE's product, and have every desire to see wrasslin for adults and not kids.

Not that I want HLA or another necrophilia angle, but damn it, enough "you are poopy"-and-"maybe he'll ask Jim Neidhart if he can take her out on a date"-level commentary, promos, and angles. I am a grown-ass man and this shit is embarrassing.

Not wanting your children to watch it ≠ "adult."

Late night Cinemax ≠ adult.

I just want a product that respects the audience and respects itself. Which is not only about writing, but more importantly about production.

Any and every good thing WWE had going for itself in the last 10 years they have completely destroyed. This is the realization I have come to that made me finally stop watching their product. They find a way to ruin everything and I dont see that changing any time soon. As long as they are a publicly traded stock and only care about being a mainstream product to make as much easy money as possible, wrestling fans are screwed.

right-o. After last night, we're Charlie Brown and WWE is holding the football for us.

Whether or not we believe we're going to be allowed to kick it is up to you.

WWE's website has a new article up on NXT Champion Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns - the men who attacked Ryback in the main event of WWE's Survivor Series pay-per-view. Here's what they wrote about each man: Seth Rollins: "Seth Rollins is the first ever WWE NXT Champion, having won a tournament to crown the inaugural titleholder. This native of Davenport, Iowa, came into NXT with a sterling reputation from his work on the independent circuit and immediately made an impact in WWE’s developmental system. Perhaps the word best used to describe Rollins would be “chaotic.” His in-ring style is calculated, yet frantic. Employing a combination of high-risk maneuvers and devastating strikes, Rollins’ offense is spectacular and elicits show-closing ovations." Roman Reigns: "Like his fellow WWE NXT standouts, Roman Reigns is a fierce competitor and an exceptional athlete. Inside the ring, Reigns is a heavy hitter, and he is just as aggressive outside the ring. The powerhouse always acts with a sense of purpose, depicting power and commanding respect. Put simply, Roman Reigns views himself as the most valuable commodity in NXT." Dean Ambrose: "Dean Ambrose is every bit as effective as Rollins, but there's something slightly off about this dangerous competitor. From the moment he marched onto the scene, WWE NXT fans were unable to take their eyes off Ambrose. Fearless, wild and always unpredictable, the iconoclast more than lived up to his reputation as a world-class competitor and infamous troublemaker." "In October last year, Ambrose created quite a stir when WWE champion CM Punk appeared at NXT for an autograph signing. Ambrose decided to verbally assault Punk on the microphone, resulting in a raucous and unforgettable scene when The Straight Edge Savior challenged Ambrose that evening. The 30-minute showdown between the two physical competitors blew away the lucky fans who witnessed it."

With today being the official one year mark of Punk holding the belt, I feel like tonight would be the perfect time to introduce the new title.

Come on, you know that isn't happening. It'll be neat to have some fresh guys cutting promos about how the company sucks and all that, but this time 2 months from now it'll be on to more important stuff like Rock's 3 month visit and The Game cerebrally assassinating Brock Lesnar.

Just from that description of Rollins I fear that he's going to get Kofi Kingston levels of "controlled frenzy!!" out of Cole.

Long overdue, but probably won't happen.

It seems Colt Cabana suffered a mysterious and rapid infection in one of his fingers that requiered surgery, even after being admitted to the hospital and being put on IV antibiotics. Pic below, but not for the squeemish.

Are you SURE you really want to see this?
