They didn't get the rights to Adam Rose's original song because they didn't know it would take off so quickly because nobody in the entire company understands attention spans or the zeitgeist.

"Inaugural" Andre the Giant memorial battle royale? This IS going to be a one-off, isn't it?

There's apparently a plan to make it a Mania exclusive match every year to get as many guys on the show as possible. There's usually a battle royal there anyway, might as well make it mean something.

On Monday night they said the winner would hold onto the trophy for the next year but who knows if that was a throwaway line.

Which I'm OK with because it means more guys get an actual WrestleMania paycheque. Though what I'm not OK with is potentially fewer matches if 30 guys are locked into just the one. But we'll see once more matches get announced in the coming weeks.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

The original pitch Slaughter was talking about for the run against Hogan actually sounded pretty cool. America had gone soft and couldn't keep a tiny pussy country like Iraq from doing whatever they wanted, Evil Slaughter would return pissed and go dispense beatings unto morale improved. This was kind of where they seemed to be going at first with the angle, then it all went off the rails.

I don't really care if 3MB gets a Wrestlemania pay day, there is so much talent being wasted in that match that could have a solid singles match.

If you look at who is left for the remaining 10 spots in it, removing the announcers, people who haven't wrestled in a long time, it leaves roughly 23 people for 10 spots.

It really makes me sad looking at that list of wrestlers and trying to figure out what matches are going to put together to fill the rest of the card. You could pretty much get everyone a Wrestlemania pay day if they did Shield vs. Kane + 2 others in a 6 man, a 4 way Tag Title Match, and throw the rest of them into the battle royal.

Except they have a Shield 6-man, and a 3-way tag title match. Guys announced for the battle royal have been taken out of the battle royal as they've gotten other ideas. Like Ryback was the first to be put in that match, but now Rybaxel are in the tag title match.

The tag title thing did, yeah. I think Kane decided on it. Usos vs. Rybaxel vs. the Real Americans.

And he actually wrestled. I'm not sure how much of that was Angle but he really looked good. I was entertained watching that.

And the Big Valboski, was that trying to ape the big Lebowski?

I mean in the sense that he did a lot of punches and really basic wrestling school holds, yes, he wrestled. you're acting like he was better then than he is now.

I'm not saying he was better then, but I was more entertained with that match than some of his more recent ones. But again, it could have been more Angle than anything. It's been a while since I've seen the match.
