I highly doubt that whoever got Danielson fired is keeping a close eye on the indies. No one who matters in this situation is gonna care.

O I thought that WWE has some say in it since its being released under there name. Like WWE can tell Mattel who they can offer them to and who they can not.

I think what gets you in WWE's bad books is trashing them when there's no money or self promotion involved.

From what I've heard, WWE is so thankful that Mattel is doing their toys that they don't want to rock the boat. I don't think they'd make any sort of demands like that, if Mattel wants their Macho King doll then by god they'll get it.

Like if someone tells Vince about it, Vince might see it as Danielson mocking what he got fired for, and that would essentially kill his chances to come back. Not really, I don't think Vince or whoever lobbied for his firing watches much Indy and like tzirean said, he'd probably see his side of "It's making me money, I'm gonna milk this for all its worth"

Given the WWE's new habit of acknowledging people's indie backgrounds, that Danielson has said he wants to "get more people watching indie wrestling" and that he's happily acknowledging his release but politely declining to discuss details, I think its clear that both parties have an agreement, and what he's doing is probably okay with them. If anything, every time a tie is mentioned it reminds people he was in WWE, and will probably be back by the end of the year.

The agreement is standard, wrestlers can't say anything bad about the company until the no-compete is over.

If anything, Macho apologized for leaving Vince without letting him have a chance to make a counter offer. Afterall, that's why we have the bad blood.

If he is invited I hope his speech is just an attack on Hogan and then he sings a song from his album.

The rumors are that Vince is softening his stance on Savage because he's one of the last main events for the Hall of Fame they can get. Thus the Savage DVD set and part of the reason for not protesting the figure. That doesn't mean they're actually at the point where WWE and Savage are actually talking and there's been no news of that. However, the figure is a contract with Mattel and WWE was not involved. Jakks did the same thing with Bruno Sammartino and Honkytonk Man, both of whom didn't want to sign Legends deals.

He did make the Warrior/Hogan Rumble showdown with his commentary though. Tony/Jesse worked better in WCW.

Would giving a quick one or two line for each summary of the questions and answers in the Dixie youshoot to save everyone the trouble of wasting their money on one of the worst shoots ever be against the rules? Don't know where summarizing a shoot video falls under the rules.

I'm sure the people who actually gave a poo poo about the incident don't even watch WWE often, let alone whatever tiny indy orgs, and given such, I'm sure it's a non-issue.

The same title that Steamboat, Savage, Michaels, Hart, and Mr. Perfect held. He was a pretty strong heel star at one point. I feel I need to say this so people remember.

Not to mention the fact that the dude is aging backwards and is in better ring shape now than he's ever been in his life. Probably doesn't fit into the conversation about rear end cream, but it's impressive nonetheless.

What was Bubba Ray's short singles run on Raw like ? I didn't have cable at the time and would see weird highlights on Smackdown of Bubba Ray fighting in main events and what appeared to be getting quite a huge fan reaction. It seemed weird and unsettling since it was out of context and I was never a Dudley Boyz fan.

Chunky Delight posted:What was Bubba Ray's short singles run on Raw like ? From what I remember, there wasn't a whole lot to it. He carried the Hardcore title for a little while, teamed with Spike for a little while, and had a mini-feud with Lesnar. In fact, I seem to recall the night Austin walked out when he was supposed to face Lesnar in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament, they replaced him with Bubba and blew off their feud as a way to try and make up for Austin. Seems like I also read the finals were supposed to be Lesnar vs Bubba, but don't quote me on that. I do know for sure though, he was supposed to face Triple H at No Mercy for the World title, but botched something the week before his push was supposed to begin and almost injured Triple H, so they killed his push pretty quickly, and gave us Kane vs Triple H with Katie Vick instead. That worked out well. It wasn't long after that, they moved D-Von back to Raw and that was that.

Bubba was essentially trying to re-create Mick Foley's feud with Triple H from a few years before, but without the storied fifteen year run building up to their match. I think HHH beat Bubba in a table match on Raw and then they reformed the Dudleys not that long after. I seriously can't believe they considered loving Bubba Ray Dudley as a main eventer.
