It's been several years since that WM and I don't think they were so stringent about TV-PG at that point.
 
Kimbo Slice to make his pro wrestling debut...in Japan

Slice’s opponent will be Shinichi Suzukawa otherwise known as the former sumo wrestler who got kicked out of the sport for possessing cannabis. I don’t expect an exciting or action packed match, but the atmosphere in Japan seeing Kimbo wrestling will probably override the negatives of the match. At the end of the day as long as the match does a monster rating on television that is all that matters and I could almost bet that it will be a smashing success in that country.

Well that explains why she was having so much trouble making the face again at the Slammy Awards.
 
i had almost forgotten the rock's original character, man that was horrible. He looked like an aztec warrior with a jerry curl.
 
Lots of Wrestlemania tickets still available - that can't be a good sign for WWE.

I looked for cheap seats and found some not-quite-top-row for like $65 after fees.

I looked for awesome seats and found floor-level, third row seats for $896 after fees.

Yikes. By this point, WWE should have to be releasing extra seats for fans. If I still lived within a decent drive of ATL (7-9 hours), I'd take the weekend trip and buy the $65 ticket. Just so I can have seen a WM live, in person. But I'm more 15 hour drive now, so I ain't doin that.

EDIT: !!!

Random wrestling news of the day that makes me sigh:

(Spoiler-ed because some people like surprises, though nothing in here is concrete. Rumors and speculation.)

- Nash has confirmed contract negotiations have resumed with TNA.

- It's heavily rumored that Sting, Nash, and Lashley are all coming back to TNA at some point soon. Possibly as soon as the Feb. 3rd Impact.

- Jeff Hardy did not plead guilty this morning as planned, and there was another continuance until mid-February. Amusing side note: The two articles I've seen about this list his WWE accomplishments, and don't mention TNA at all.

- It's been discussed that a Nexus vs. Core match will take place at WrestleMania. I don't even begin to understand this one, as both groups are heel... and I have a hard time seeing either of them turning face. It would also heavily imply that Punk/Cena is going to have a short shelf-life, which makes me sad.

A far the third point on the spoiler goes,
no one wants to see two heel factions go at it. You either have a babyface vs. a heel, or two babyfaces, the latter of which is a nice draw since it allows fans to pick a side and can make for a good story if booked properly. However, two heels doesn't work because the crows officially has no one to cheer for, whihc makes for an uninteresting match.

Has a heel vs. heel match/feud ever actually worked?

Matches, sure. Plenty of times. Feuds, not that I can remember but it's certainly possible.

The only time recently that I can even remember any heel/heel PPV program was actually last year at the Rumble, where they set up that Orton/Sheamus title match. I don't remember much about it, but I think it was mainly designed to be gauge for management to see if people would get behind Orton.

What worries me about it, aside from the Punk/Cena thing I already mentioned, is that it makes it clear that, if that's a plan they're honestly considering, it means they don't really have any actual ideas for either group. That's the biggest issue I have besides the heel/heel thing... it's incredibly lazy booking. Two groups, too many guys to give singles matches to, so let's throw them together. I've also already voiced my opinion that the best thing for EITHER group is to just keep them the fuck away from one another.

I don't know... as I said, this is all rumor at this point, so it could be totally off-base, but I thought it was interesting enough to bring up.

I think that's one of the couple WMs I've not seen, so I guess that's why I don't remember it. The gif is awesome, though.
 
Awesome bit from a Jericho interview...

On not having a big send off at the end of his wrestling career: "I don’t ever want that big, overblown, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair goodbye. I don’t want it. Good for those guys that got it. I don’t want it. If I never wrestle another day, I wouldn’t feel bad about the fact that I never got my last applause and got to ride off into the sunset. I’m a bad guy. Bad guys are cowards. Bad guys die at the end of movies. And that’s it. You never see them again. That’s what I want to happen to me. I want to fall off the building like the dude in Die Hard and scream ‘Aaaah!’ all the way down. And it’s like, ‘That guy was a loser. I’m glad he’s dead.’ That’s what my mindset is. Although, I don’t want the ‘dead’ part to happen."

Here's the rest..including his thoughts on Edge as a face.

I skimmed it - looks like a great interview. Jericho states things in a straightforward manner and doesn't appear to be malicious or unrealistic in what he says. He lacks the delusion so many "shoots" do that it's very heartening to see. I'll actually fully read it at some point soon, however.
 
I love Chris Jericho. He has a good head on his shoulders and a good mind for general business. I hate to hark on just pro wrestling stuff, but I enjoyed this passage quite a bit:

"On his departure coming at a time when WWE’s roster was already thin: 'That’s their responsibility. That’s their issue. And I think it’s better for them if they lose a lot of top guys, because then they don’t rely on the same thing over and over again. They’re forced to make changes. They’re forced to use new guys. They’re forced to move forward, which is something they could have done a couple years ago, but they really didn’t. So now they have no choice….'"

I also love his views on heel characters and how he had WWE cancel most illogical merchandising options while he was heel.
 
Hey fellow wrestling fans... I just got back from a trip where I wasn't able to keep up with wrestling much... however I did meet someone who worked in the WWE and seems to know just about every wrestler alive.

Anyway, he told me that Matt Hardy debuted in TNA and it was hella boring. Is that true? What else has happened in the past month?

If they would have done one with just the title belt I might have gotten it. Then again if it's the spinner belt I'll pass.
 
Yeah, I'm interested in the story behind Dreamer and his dancing. Diddy's reply sounds about right.

I love Mad Catz (my, how times have changed, aye?)—but the graphics on those products are pretty bad. When I saw MarkMan's announcement, I thought they were going to design the FightPads with a character focus, like with the SSF4 products.

I would have bought a FightPad with, say, a Ted DiBiase or Curt Hennig design. I hope they later put out wrestler-specific-design BrawlPads.

Loved the Kendrick-Ray yoga stuff and the sheer look of Crimson. The dude looks like a star, has a swank suit, AND will impale you. If they don't fuck this up, they've got a star in the making with him - especially since they wisely retconned his "match" with Jarrett out. Rest of the show was pretty meh except for James Storm working out with beer and asking if anyone had some "suckee" in the NJPW clip. He and Flair RULED this show. Angle was on it a lot for a guy who's supposed to be fired, while Lethal-Kaz was nothing and I forgot Kaz won the X title while the knockouts title 4 way was somehow a tag match and was bad and Dreamer had me rolling with his comment about how he'll take out Jeff Hardy.

Screens -

Ouch

Angle - Before my ex-wife and her current husband fill the Impact Zone with mis-truths, I want to set the record straight. Karen, when you said it was about me and you - THAT WAS A LIE. IT WAS ABOUT ME AND JEFF. I brought you into the company, and I’ll give you props - you were an asset inside and outside the ring. Whenever I turned my head, you’d be standing next to Jeff Jarrett. You always said you were talking business, and I always believed you, but I didn’t have any reason to believe that you were together while we were married. BUT JEFF MADE THIS PERSONAL. But one thing neither of you will take away from me Is my character! I WAS A GREAT HUSBAND AND AN INCREDIBLE FATHER! And if I’m guilty of anything, it’s that I didn’t spend enough time with my family. But that’s because I’m not a bad husband or father - IT’S BECAUSE I WANTED TO GIVE MY FAMILY EVERYTHING THEY COULD HAVE DREAMED OF HAVING. SO KAREN, WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY! THE EASY WAY IS WE MAKE AMENDS, for the kids. OR YOU PROVOKE ME AND CONTINUE TO PROVOKE ME, AND I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL PULL OUT EVERY SKELETON IN YOUR CLOSET! (Team Jarrett comes out)

Tenay - THERE ARE JUST SO MANY PERSONAL LAYERS TO THIS STORY! KURT’S SON, KURT’S DAUGHTER…THEY’RE BEING RAISED BY THE JARRETTS!
Taz - As a father, I couldn’t fathom another man raising my son with my wife. I can only imagine how that makes Kurt Angle feel.
Jarrett - Folks, what you are witnessing is not only a lovely wife and a caring mother, but you’re also witnessing someone who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside - and that’s saying a hell of a lot.
Crowd - SLOPPY SECONDS!
Jarrett - YOU ARE ALSO WITNESSING…
Taz - Ouch.
Jarrett - You’ll love this - you’re also witnessing a victim! A victim of Kurt Angle. SO I wanna turn the floor over to MY WIFE - KAREN JARRETT!
Karen - I HAD A PRESENTATION PREPARED FOR Y’ALL. It’s arriving at the Impact Zone. I heard a few of the comments my PATHETIC EX-HUSBAND MADE, and I just wanna acknowledge them. First off, Kurt, you’re right - my husband is part-owner of this company, and guess what that makes me? As for your character - let’s take a trip back to ‘97 after you won your Olympic gold medal.

Anderson - Ladies and gentlemen, the Total Nonstop Asshole and Total Nonstop Champion, MISTTEERRRR ANDERSON! AN-DER-SON!
Taz - We saw the...well, no we didn’t, the beat-down of RVD and Anderson on Beer Money.
Tenay - We’re referencing the situation with RVD, Anderson, and Beer Money. Last week, they laid out Beer Money. Similar to that - RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
Taz - There’s the old “clap the hands and pretend we tagged in” deal.
Tenay - YEAH, NO TAG!
Taz - Former TNA Tag Team Champions, Beer Money.
Tenay - FOUR-TIME TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

I think it's correct to say that WWE owes DDP for how poorly they used his character. In all honesty, I think WWE's handling of DDP is, perhaps, the worst handling of a big name talent they've ever done.

And I look forward to the Best of Nitro sets. That is going to be fun. :)

Edit: After reading Jay's review and the comments about Impact, I just may watch the show they put on last night.
 
Since DDP fucking sucks, I don't think they owe him anything. That Undertaker one-sides feud is better than he deserved. Can't none of y'all tell me otherwise.

That said, the best of Nitro stuff should be good watching, but I'd just assume track down a bootleg full set.

I didn't see Impact but those Abyss screenshots are hilarious. Almost makes me want to watch.
 
I just finished watching RAW. Been without TV and internet for a week or so, so I'm way behind.

As a whole, RAW wasn't bad. Way more actual wrestling than I expected to see.

Also, WTF at Batistwo? hahahaha
 
DDP is awesome. Would be nice to see him do a few appearances on RAW maybe. While the WWE definitely misused him in a big way, I just loved seeing him on TV. Even though he was in a horrible lower-midcard status at the time, I loved his angle with Christian.
 
[quote name='cdubb1605']Most entertaining part of Impact. Crowd chanting "Sloppy seconds." When Karen and Jeff came out.[/QUOTE]

Indeed. The look on Double J's face was priceless.

Umad?
 
DDP sucks ass. That Undertaker feud was better than he deserved. Terrible promos, mediocre matches (don't kid yourself), only pushed because he was Bischoff's buddy/neighbor. And supposedly loaned his wife out to him (which, if true...well, it's understandable why he was pushed).

I don't have a problem with him hosting a Nitro program on their pay channel or whatever, but if I ever see him and his stupid old man face and lousy catchphrases actually involved in angles or matches again, it'll be too soon.
