It's a shame Spivey was injured and the character so short-lived. They could have fed him to Bret Hart in a months-long title feud (I'm guessing Hart was champion at the time).[/QUOTE]

Funny you should mention that. I noticed this on the sidebar to the first video I posted, but didn't think much of it until you mentioned Bret. Turns out they did have a match:

I also love how Mercy's theme was kind of a cross sbetween Dear God by XTC, and Classical Gas.

Thanks for posting that Waylon Mercy match. Even 15 years ago, I loved that character. I knew it was a rip-off of DeNiro's character in Cape Fear - but if you're going to rip off someone, Scorcese is a fine place to start.

Spivey was believable as hell in that role - kicks to the ribs, a *gorgeous* brainbuster - the moveset he used as Mercy was that of someone who had little regard for the wellbeing of his opponent. Mercy wouldn't have worked if Spivey was doing armbars and headlocks. I'm not totally sold on the sleeper as a finisher, as it doesn't scream "Mercy." But it allowed WWF to feature his bug-eyed, maniacal look, so perhaps that's why they went with it. I would prefer the Stump Puller (or some similar maneuver to make his opponent 'beg for mercy," but at the time it was a move that was on its way out of wrestling (and I believe Doink and Big Bully Busick used it as well).

I think Diesel was the champion for most or all of Spivey's time in the WWF.
 
[quote name='ShinSolidus']I wish I was going, but as of now, I'm not. Plans could change though. Especially if Kojima or, if by some stroke of luck, Muta shows up. I'll find a damn way to get tickets.[/QUOTE]

I saw a lineup a few weeks ago, Kojima was on it. I doubt you'll see Muta, as he's been w/ AJPW for ages now, yeah?

EDIT: Diesel vs. Mercy? Hmm. Big-man vs big-man sometimes works, but I dunno about those two. They both perform moves like Black Sabbath plays notes (i.e., slow, not necessarily awesome).

Ex-creative guy is posting a ton of stuff...spoilered because it's a fair amount and shows a possible WM match.


Former WWE creative team member John Piermarini has started his blog (http://wrestlingrecall.blogspot.com/) in which he has released a ton of scoops regarding things that occured in the company during the two years he was employed. The blog has since been pulled (the Website does say it will be back soon) but we have managed to retain some of the things Piermarini said. Below are some notes:

* The storyline between Daniel Bryan and The Bella Twins was actually first pitched by The Bella's. WWE has planned to run with a similar storyline for Evan Bourne before he was injured.

* There was talk that Drew McIntyre would be the man to take out the Undertaker before it was changed to Nexus.

* On the Undertaker, the plan right now is for him to wrestle Wade Barrett at WrestleMania 27, but of course this could change.

"Vince’s philosophy on Daniel Bryan is he isn’t an ass kicker but he can beat you because he can capitalize on your mistakes. In this instance, it works. On the other hand Vince thinks John Morrison can’t kick anyone’s ass in a real fight therefore he can’t be a top babyface. Morrison has the chance to take the ball and run with it, but he is running uphill."


"As much as it seems Christian turns into the fan favorite choice to win Money in the Bank Match each year it’s not going to happen. Christian is seen as a good hand that can help some of the younger talent and does not have a lot of support from higher ups to be a Main Event guy. Edge vs. Christian as a Main Event program has been pitched to death and rejected every time."

"Before Christian was injured a story was being developed to turn Christian heel and work a program with Matt Hardy. The seeds were being dropped on Smackdown at the time Christian was injured."


Here is what he wrote about last year's Money in the Bank PPV which backs up the belief that WWE changes its plans on a regular basis:

"Walking into the arena that day Drew McIntyre was set to win the Money in the Bank briefcase. But Drew wasn’t the Superstar who was originally set to win. That was Kane, but was changed later after Kevin Dunn agreed with my philosophy that it would benefit a younger guy to carry that briefcase for a while. So it was set one week before the Pay-Per-View, Drew was to win Money in the Bank. While in the production meeting hours before the show a case was made to have Kane win the briefcase and cash in that night. The thought process? Sheamus was retaining the WWE Title; Miz was winning the RAW Money in the Bank (more on this later) and certain people felt like the average fan would have the feeling too many heels won. Keep in mind Kane would turn heel by defeating one of the most popular WWE Superstars in WWE by cashing in. None to less, the feeling was that this was the first ever Money in the Bank PPV and something needed to happen to brand this PPV as 'anything can happen.' I gave the argument that the current storyline had Kane wanting to capture the holy grail for his brother and by doing so tonight took away any future story you had with Kane trying to take it off a someone who may have 'took out' Undertaker. I added Kane should challenge Mysterio at Summerslam and go over there."

Piermarini also mentions that Randy Orton was originally scheduled to win the RAW Money in the Bank before WWE settled on The Miz.
 
If nothing else, the blog reinforces that they're nowhere near the McMahon/Patterson era of booking 6 months in advance.

It's 9-10 weeks away from WM, and we haven't seen the Understaker at all, let alone seen prospective opponents for him. Is it too early to say this year's WM will be a disaster? Or perhaps we'll see once we get past RR in a week?

Regarding the blog:

I saw that blog a little while ago on another site, but didn;t see the stuff about McIntyre. Glad he's not scheduled to be the one tot ake out Taker. I like Barret, and wouldn't be pissed to see him finish Taker's streak. Him, Punk, Sheamus or Swagger are the only guys I'd actually be 'comfortable' with break Taker's streak.

The taking out Tkaer reference was in regards to the buried alive match. Not at taking him down and ending the streak. It has long been said and even Vince has agreed that streak will not be ended by anyone except the Taker when he retires. That kind of a rub is way to much to give anyone considering that is a permanent rub they could take with them anywhere. Vince will never ever give away that type of power to anyone.

Oh, ok. Did not know all of Nexus took out Taker. As I said in an earlier post, I just got back into wrestling, and just assumed when it came to Taker, it was referring to the streak. Excuse my dumbness
 
Random bit of trivia: at the 2001 Royal Rumble, the 29th entrant was Haku. At the time, Haku was also the reigning WCW Hardcore champion (as Meng). Haku had given the belt to The Barbarian in real life as a gift, and the championship was never again mentioned on WCW television.

aaaand Sean Waltman talks about trying to kill himself:

http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/01/22/2028140/former-wwe-star-x-pac-turning.html

The former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar attempted suicide in his hotel apartment in Mexico City.

“I was in Mexico for three years. When I was there, things got really bad,” recalls Waltman.

“I got in a heated argument that turned into physicality with my girlfriend [Alicia Webb] (Ryan Shamrock). I ended up striking her back. I always told myself that I would die before I would hit a woman. So when I did that, I was overcome with guilt and shame. I had no tools to handle it. The only thing I could think of was take a whole bottle of Valium or what was left of the bottle. It was probably around 400 milligrams of Valium.

“I hung myself from the roof of my apartment. It was the darkest moment of my life, or one of them, to get me to do that. It was a lot of build up that I didn’t know how to deal with.”

Webb, known to wrestling fans as Ryan Shamrock or Symphony, found Waltman.

“I was dead,” said Waltman.

“She got me down, which I don’t know how she did it. She is like superwoman. I swear. She did CPR and all that. She kept me alive for 45 minutes until the ambulance arrived. Then I was really on life support for three days.

Interesting interview.

“I contracted Hepatitis C somehow, and that’s the main reason I’m not with TNA. At least publically, that is their reason. I can wrestle. There just can’t be any blood involved. People can’t be cutting their heads or things of that nature, just have to be mindful. There are guys who have had and still do have the same thing. They just choose not to be open like I am.”

Would he return to TNA?

“I would work for TNA strictly for the money,” said Waltman.

“Then try to last as long as I could before I go %$#$ing crazy because their writing sucks so bad. I was on my show, and somebody was talking about it. I told them they dip their pen in $%^& before they write their shows. I have a relationship that is deeper than wrestling in WWE. Honestly, TNA it would strictly be for the paycheck. I really don’t feel any emotional equity with those people at this point.”

I read this on LOP a few minutes ago:

-- WWE creative has discussed reuniting Randy Orton and Edge as a tandem after the Royal Rumble. The duo is scheduled for a dark match at this Tuesday's SmackDown taping in Cincinnati, Ohio against WWE Champion The Miz and Dolph Ziggler.

Orton and Edge formed an alliance known as Rated-RKO in October 2006 to challenge the team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels. The group captured the World Tag Team Championship in November 2006 and officially disbanded in May 2007, after Edge moved to the SmackDown brand.

My DVD player was acting up yesterday, so I decided to use my PS3 instead. One of the differences between the two is that the PS3 automatically stretches to image to fit the screen. Since nearly all of the WWE DVDs are 4:3, it stretched it to widescreen.

Why am I posting this?

I put in the "Greatest Superstars of the 90s" DVD.

That one is hosted by Tazz.

That was pretty unfortunate for him.
 
I think some broad stole $1500 from Pac that time he was in New York.. think that was the same weekend he got arrested for having a joint on him. Hep C must be some common thing in showbiz, I was listening to Howard Stern last week and Steven Tyler from Aerosmith was on, he said he had the same shit. I think Pam And Tommy Lee have it too.

So a bunch of people who slept around with probably not the highest quality of people all ended up with Hep C.... color me shocked.
 
Yeah, I don't understand Kofi on the cover either. Though, I think an interesting question is will Miz be in the game? If they don't put their current champion in a game, then that's just retarded.

Edit: Also, Undertaker. He needs to be in this.

[quote name='guyver2077']wow hogan on there is a big wtf... even more so than RVD in smackdown[/QUOTE]

I'd say it comes down to the fact that WWE has likely come to realize that not only was Hogan's foray into TNA a bust, but that TNA has zero name recognition. This time last year? Hogan *never* would've been in the game, let alone on the cover. This speaks volumes about how WWE views TNA right now. Remember, even if wrestlers make a deal with THQ, WWE has final say on who gets in the game. Mick Foley in Legends of Wrestlemania, anyone?

Plus, really, even if they both work for TNA, you're questioning Hogan being in an 'All-Star' game more than the completely and utterly random appearance of RVD in Smackdown? Cover aside, it'd be more conspicuous if Hogan wasn't in a 'Legends' game... RVD is just a baffling choice for a secret character all-around, especially given the other people included this year.

I mean, c'mon. ;)
 
Hepatitis C is most commonly spread through contaminated blood contact... such as sharing syringes for IV drug use. I think Hep C is rarely spread through sex...
