I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

1. Strong yes.
2. One of if not the best of their feud so far, but started slow and Nakamura should've won.
3. She lost to Carmella because she was staring at Ellsworth standing on the ring apron for nearly a full minute. NOT GREAT.

1. Great I loved their first match
2. Good.
3. Do I want to know why she was staring at James Ellsworth? He can be kinda odd looking but he's not that odd.

EDIT: Were the MITB matches any good?

I'm glad both the MITB matches were good, they had some good line ups.

The last couple of pages caused me to remember "The New Rockers," consisting of Marty Jannetty and Al Snow ("Leif Cassidy" - though way too early, an FCW-rear end name if there ever was one). I mean that went about as well as you would expect. I recall them having a really good "Free For All" (PPV pre-show) match vs the Body Donnas at. I think the last thing Marty did (before the mid-2000's cameo appearances) was to basically be enhancement talent for a debuting Goldust?

He was a jobber in WCW for a couple years.

They got the name Leif Cassidy by taking two 70s teen heartthrobs, Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy, and putting them together.

This is kind of morbid but did Rick Rude cut his penis off and/or kill himself? I was sure that he at least had done the latter but I'm not sure.

No, to both. He died of heart failure.

Rick Rude died of an overdose. I have never heard the penis story and I'm sure if he had I'd have heard the story by now.

A lapsed fan was asking about rumors regarding Rick Rude and I remember him dying tragically but wasn't sure how.

Heart failure due to overdose, so I imagine the steroids played a role.

Does anyone remember John Petrie's Monday night recaps from way back in the day? He was one of the few entertaining ones I used to read. I've been going through them again off and on and it's awesome being able to relive what the feeling was like during the Monday Night Wars and hearing what the current rumors and innuendos are. Even more so when I can fire up WWE Network and re-watch the big segments. It's a fun little trip down memory lane.

Rude was apparently a James Dalton-esque legend as a bouncer, story went that if he slapped you with his right hand, you wouldn't be causing any more trouble

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

That is supposedly what he did to Warrior. Warrior was stiffing him. "You do that one more time and I'm slapping you." Warrior stiffed him. SLAP

I heard Rick Rude not only cut off his penis he cut off the penis's of the entire locker room and then wore the penises as a necklace.

I know this is true as my friends uncle works for wwe, Nintendo division.
