MVP and Nathan Jones are the only 2 that come to mind, so this new idiot, "Fandango," If he decides to actually wrestle, would probably be 1 fight and he is back to dancing because he sucks at fighting.

Gah, that match between Albert (Tensai) and Nathan Jones still haunts me. Jones horribly missed the boot as Albert came off the ropes, clearly not touching him at all. Albert stopped, looked bewildered for a sec then threw himself backwards like he'd been hit. I think I turned it off there, but that's been burned into my mind so much when i hear those two names, that match/scene pops into my thoughts =(

I'm with Seven Churches: There's no way that Taker reaches that many more Manias, unless they wheel him out in a chair and have someone just lay down for him for the 123. He barely made this year, unless something miraculous happens, he's not even doing another one next year. If they have him go over Punk (and I'd be shocked if they had Punk beat him this year) hopefully they plan ahead and build someone to beat him next year: I don't care if it's Cena, or Barrett, or Cesaro, or whomever, but someone should end that stupid streak and get the 'rub' from it, and then Taker can retire or whatever.

Johnny Curtis is a decent wrestler - nothing great, but he's still better than a lot of guys that are currently on the main roster, and if you include his personality, he's easily better than a lot of more established guys. (his run on NXT with him/Bateman/Kaitlyn/Maxine was, at the time, the best angle in all of the WWE, IMHO)

I still think Punk is going to go over UT. Its so obvious that UT is going to win to keep his streak alive that my gut feeling is UT is going to let Punk end his streak (if UT does whats RIGHT for the business and not stroke his ego).

For burtog, an interview with Kaitlyn.

Quote:

SALISBURY — Houston native Kaitlyn has risen through the ranks from contestant on the show “WWE NXT” to become one of the top stars in World Wrestling Entertainment.

The recently-crowned Divas Champion answered a few questions for GO! Magazine ahead of her stop at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center.

Did you follow wrestling as a kid?

I wanted to be exactly like my brother, and he loved wrestling, so I naturally loved wrestling. I was a tomboy and super athletic, and loved any kind of sports.

It’s funny; I had a few favorites that were super-random like Vader and Goldberg. I really liked Goldberg because he was such a bad (dude), and now I’m using “the spear” as my finisher as a little bit of a tribute to him. That’s a pretty cool full-circle moment.

How did you get involved with “WWE NXT”?

I played competitive soccer for about 15 years, and then I made a decision not to play in college. I got into fitness and bodybuilding, and I competed for a few years. And then I started wondering, “What’s next?” When you’re on stage for that kind of competition, it’s a little bit of a static, one-dimensional version of you, and I felt like I had more to offer than that.

I’ve always loved a challenge, so I tried out and won, and the rest is history. I loved it from day one, and I still love it. Whatever happens in this crazy circus that I’m part of, I have this weird love for it; it’s the best thing ever.

What was the transition like to the WWE?

It was so mind-blowing for me. I’ve been an athlete my whole life; I ran track, I played soccer and I was always super fit, but this was a whole other beast. There’s so much that goes into it. Anyone can do the moves, but it’s so much more than that. You have to think about who you are as a fighter, what’s your identity, what way are you going to wrestle, what way are you going to show people what you’re all about.

We’re telling a story with our bodies, and there’s so much that goes into it that you don’t even think about. Just the physical aspect of it; there’s nothing that can compare to being super out of breath and having to do a crazy flip, punch, kick death-drop. There’s nothing that can prepare you for getting the wind knocked out of you like that when you’re already tired.

How much did it mean to you to get the WWE Divas Championship?

I fought so hard for it, and I was such an underdog, but I won the title. It was the most amazing moment of my life. I had worked so hard for it, and no one expected it from me.

I won the title and it was in my hometown, and I felt like I deserved it. I had really clawed my way up from the bottom. It was such a special day, and I cried so much that day.

What are you most looking forward to at Wrestlemania?

When it comes to Wrestlemania, I’m such a fan. Even though I’m part of it, I’m literally surprised and every single week — even when I’m watching from backstage — I can’t tear my eyes away from the show. Wrestlemania is our Super Bowl. So every show, as it gets closer and closer, something insane happens.

At these live events, it’s such a cool experience for us and for the fans because it’s not a TV thing. We’re not worried about camera angles or commercial breaks; we’re actually just there to interact with the fans. So, it’s a really cool experience and tensions are really high. You never really know what’s goingto happen.

According to a certain YT ranter (yes, that one) WWE is set to become even more PG for a moms and the kids audience.

I've often contemplated when i'll stop watching wrestling and if that is true then it helps me decide. Loyal fans who have spent countless hours enjoying the WWF/E are getting the short end of the stick here with the new outlook. They shouldn't concentrate on what specific audience they want, f'n concentrate on the product! Do they even realise that it is in turmoil? The stories are getting weaker and more retarded, just take the Big Show story for example, they are making a story out of nothing, even Cena and Pancake was just thrown together out of nothing and was a waste of time, before f'n WM!
And the talent are becoming more boring. Rock is a perfect example and Undertaker is too, he has really toned down. UT couldn't even be assed on Raw and they should be setting a good example. Rock is champion and more interested in his PR campaigns to sell whatever he has to next.

Thanks to you sharing those videos of the guy, I believe his channel popped up in my Youtube homepage for recommended channels to subscribe. TheBradRants? Sounds about right. Anyways, the funny thing is that past studies show that the majority audience in WWE's product was and still is, males 18-34 (or 18-49, whichever). You'd think they'd realize that. Vince McMahon himself said in a past quarterly conference call that they have went "too far" in PG. So I don't know what to make of the possibility of them going more PG, if that will even happen. I figured Saturday Morning Slam (which nobody here watches) was enough.

Quote:

Mark Henry suffered an apparent leg/knee injury at Saturday night’s WWE Smackdown live event in Norfolk, Virginia. Henry was working Kane when the injury occurred. They went home quickly and the referee used the X signal, indicating a legitimate injury.

Henry limped to the back and appeared to be in pain. We have no further details as of this writing.

Oh I hope it's nothing too serious...

An interesting day today, notable birthdays...

Quote:

- Former WWE star Barry Horowitz turns 53 years old today while TNA star Daniels turns 42, WWE star Epico turns 31, Jack Swagger turns 31 and The Undertaker turns 48.

Yeah, 21-0 or 20-1 seems like the number to stop at.

I still think a few years have been shaved off his age.

This is why they hesitate to put the strap on him. He seems to be injury prone (as well as Barrett and Mysterio).
