Johnny is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all bangers

Who all have the dirt sheets reported as being "in the dog house" in the last year or so?

I remember Kendrick, MVP, Punk, and Bourne, but was anyone else reported as being in trouble at some point?

To tell you the truth, I'm not even that hungry...but when I see those marbles, I just lose it.
I have a question (of sorts, at least)
Back in Summerslam 2008, Undertaker slammed Edge through the ring, sending Edge to Hell, if you will. Now, I'm pretty sure...like 99% sure that at some point I read that someone from WWE Creative said that they were ready to bring Edge back, but they just needed to figure out a way to explain his return.

Then, all of a sudden, Edge returned at Survivor series and won the WWE championship and as far as I'm aware, they never explained or even mentioned his "visit to Hell" from Summerslam.

So, my actual question is: Did I miss something obvious, or did they just go all Kane on the continuity and just brought him back without explaining or even mentioning his absence?

What's to explain? Hell doesn't exist beneath a WWE ring.

I think they did it because they thought it was cool but didn't realize how ridiculous it was.

Edge did mention in some bitter promo after that about how he was awesome and even got chokeslammed to Hell so it kinda was referenced again

Are you guys saying that, in terms of kayfabe, WWE actually wanted us to believe that the Undertaker had sent Edge to the actual realm of hell?

He got Chokeslammed through the ring, and then had to take time off to rehab the grievous injuries. The Undertaker isn't really dead and can only send people to hell through the usual 'actually killing them' methods perfected by C. Benoit. IF Edge came back, that just means he got better from whatever happened to him.

Well, both that and having read someone from WWE Creative saying that they were trying to come up with a reason for Edge to return, and then eventually they just seemed to go all Kane on it and never mention it again.

Actual realm of Hell sounds goofy, sure, but just as goofy as it seemed when Undertaker chokeslammed him through the ring "with flames rising from the hole", as Wikipedia says.

All in all, my memory might be serving me wrong on this, but as said I'm 99% sure (I've tried to Google it with no luck) that someone from WWE Creative said that they were ready to bring Edge back but they just needed to figure out a way to do it. And eventually they didn't really figure out any explanation to bring him back, so they just decided to do it without explaining it at all.

And that's what I a)have issues with, and b)am not sure if I missed something obvious.

There was a ppv or RAW within the past year that had someone with a sign that was a giant cardboard cut out of John Cena's face, and it rose up from the crowd in an ominous manner. A gif was made of it and I need that gif and maybe even what show it was on. Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

I've never seen the ad but it was in the Observer. DVDVR had a thread with Observer quotes for WCW from 1998-2001. It's number 98 in their thread.

I'm well aware. And I'm calling bullshit. This ad doesn't exist and never happened. Nobody's ever seen a picture of it. Nobody remembers it. The only evidence that it ever happened is not even Meltzer, but a thread full of quotes ATTRIBUTED to Meltzer. It's reached legend status and I've never seen anybody question its authenticity before.

The thing doesn't exist. It never happened.

Not unless somebody has pictures that aren't 'shopped.

Mike Knox's beard is truly impressive, and he's still up and walking around after taking a shillelagh shot to the beard, which gives him the advantage over the Grizz, whose beard was not powerful enough to withstand the mighty boot of Brodie Lee.

I really like Mick Foley. But you can't make me watch TNA. So my question is, what has he done there and what is he doing now? If someone could do a little recap, plus some postives/negatives about his role, that would be a really good read :)

came in and announced he had purchased a large portion of stock making him the majority shareholder and de facto boss of tna (yet another authority figure), got irritated with the main event mafia, won the World Title at Lockdown from Sting, proceeded to have an absolutely lovely reign, lost it to Kurt Angle, dicked around with the Legends/Global/Beer Drinking championship for a while, and then went on to feud with Abyss for what seemed like forever.


positives: foley has a well paying job and works minimal dates

negatives: dear god, almost everything else he's done in the company.
