I totally get the whole hair color thing now with the Divas, I am remembering how back during this time I couldn't tell the two Funkadactyls apart because they looked so similar.

Pretty sure this is the only "match" Sunny ever had.

She wrestled in 2007 for Women Superstars Uncensored, if that counts...

What exactly was wrong with the NXT Arrival live stream? I know it locked up during the Tyler Breeze entrance, but then didn't it come back on?

X-Pac's theme on that Raw sounded like some horrible Uncle Cracker knock off that they had to dub over. Went back to my original rip that I have, and I was wrong... that was his theme at the time.

People called Batista "Kanye", South Park made a joke about Kanye being a "GayFish". Kanye Batista = Gay Fish is the joke.

You probably could have explained it better by posting the original job from South Park

I always loved Brock's plan here. "I will cheat like a bitch, eat massive DQs if I have to, then make them all up since Angle is loving dead anyway."

Towards the end of the match, makes me wonder why Brock didn't just tap out to the ankle lock immediately, give Angle a fall to break the submission immediately, and still be up in falls.

Looking back on these older Raws, the Man on Woman violence sort of creeps me out.... X-Pac spitting at Torrie and giving her a spinning kick to the face, WTF?!? It just feels so weird.

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.

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.

Did this happen on Smackdown or something? Nobody watches that...

Watching Wrestlemania 29 on the stream, I am reminded how they are going to get to fill 4 hours with so few matches. A recap of the Pre-Show, two promo packages, and a Puff Daddy concern all between two of the matches

They should just do a Top 10 incarnations of the nWo and then never list them again.

Original - July 1996 - April 1998
nWo Hollywood - April 1998 - January 1999
nWo Wolfpac - May 1998 - January 1999
nWo "Elite" - January 1999 - April 1999
nWo B-Team - January 1999 - July 1999
nWo 2000 - December 1999 - March 2000
WWE nWo v1 - Hogan, Nash, Hall
WWE nWo v2 - Nash, HBK, X-Pac, Big Show, Booker T

I don't understand why someome wouldn't get the Network. If you can afford $10/month and like wrestling, its a no brainer. It's pretty awesome I can randomly just pick a show from the early 90's and watch it whenever. It's awesome.

And they also then get to complain every week about how they will "cancel their network sub" when their favorite wrestleman loses.

I think it was a bad timeslot insomuch as it was still competing against some very high quality sitcoms and reality shows? I don't know, Heyman spoke about it in an interview with...I think Jericho? I don't know how much crossover there was in demographics but it certainly seemed impressive to me.

I agree with this 10 years ago when they moved time slots. NBC alone with My Name Is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock and Scrubs was enough to keep me tuned in for 2 hours.

Now Thursday nights are horrible...

Really digging Attitude Era week so far. Renee hosting the Video Vault thing has been nice too so that it's mixed up with a PPV match between the previous and next Raw they show.

And that's where it all went horrible. Either he should have been allowed to give up the title, which would have gotten them the same pop in mainstream coverage Russo was so desperate for, or he should have been forced to defend it the next night and just gotten completely destroyed by some heel, which also would have gotten the same pop while also showing that he had no place in that ring or with that title.

It's one of those ideas that I can see working if you did it the exact right way, but the way they did it was the opposite of the exact right way.

You're acting like he had a lengthy run with the title.... He held it for a little over a week, and his "defense" the following Nitro before Slamboree had a gently caress finish.
