Is Cena anywhere near as strong as Mark Henry?

Cena's pretty strong, for a guy 150 pounds less than Mark Henry.

But Sting... it's impossible to explain especially if you just started watching in the past 10 years or so. It's literally like trying to explain the relevance of Flair or Hogan, except they seem to get the benefit of the doubt from newer fans and Sting just gets "Uhhhh gently caress him. "

Now, that's just not true. I don't care about Sting or Hogan.

Who was the earliest person people remember doing silly dances before moves while their opponents had to lay there not doing anything?

Do top rope moves count?

Due to following a series of Youtube videos that I won't explain (:v:), what was up with the Lesnar/Angle kiss? I vaguely remember it from before, but just what was that all about?

It was after the show went off the air, they were just messing around (or were they actually lovers???)

So how the gently caress does the relationship between these three men make any sense? Taker and Hogan are equal, Vince and Hogan are equal, but Taker is miles ahead of Vince???

Obviously, Hollywood Hogan is much more powerful than Hulk Hogan.

Usually there's a minute or three in between the end of the show and the post-show, while someone is celebrating in the ring or whatever. It's a long enough pause that you can tell.

For one thing, he has more charisma and is a better wrestler than any midget wrestler in the world (I base this on my extensive experience watching the WWE Junior Division)

The rana involves a pin. It translates to "Hurricane Pin" while a Frankensteiner doesn't have to end in a pin.

Rana means frog!

I believe it refers to the specific pin where you're sitting on the guy and hooking the legs.

The Wellness Program includes annual physical examinations and blood screening for all WWE talent. The examinations and screening are undertaken with a goal of identifying issues before they manifest into symptoms of disease, illness and/or injury.

There was a scary incident that took place before the Wellness Policy was enacted...

quote:

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Cowboy Bob Orton had hepatitis as a teenager and had actually forgotten he had it because it was 35 years ago. Apparently he was just sick for a couple weeks then never thought about it again. Randy also had no idea.

Bob was recently tested by a WWE doctor who is friends with The Undertaker and was alarmed when he was bleeding all over him in the Hell In A Cell. Bob then got another test was was told he was fine, which is what he initially thought as he has had tons of blood baths, always drank, and never made anyone else sick before. He is blaming the doctor for alarming everyone about it when there was really nothing to worry about.

Taker was alerted and was furious at Johnny “Ace” Laurinaitis, who knew the results of the test and didn’t tell Taker. Johnny Ace had to go to a house show and personally talk things out with a very unhappy Undertaker.

How big is a WrestleMania pay cheque?

According to Meltzer, anywhere from $10-$25K for low-carders to VERY high amounts for the main eventers. Orton reportedly got $600K last year for the main event. This year's show is expected to do substantially better, so the bonuses will be bigger.
