According to the dirt sheets the other montage is for HBK and HHH to return as evil DX to end Takers Mania streak. Apparently it will be HHH v Taker with HBK as special referee. I hope since HHH is a booker now he doesn't do the arrogant Kevin Sullivan thing and book himself to win. Taker's mania streak should remain undefeated.
Well apparently he's after Cena, thank god! - Hopefully that will start a feud leading to the next significant PPV, dust off the old King of The Ring maybe? ;)Quote:

I too hope that doesn't happen, being I am a little biased due to me being the Biggest 'Creature of The Night' aka Taker fan! :p:D, as I too believe that Taker's WM record shouldn't ever be broken - It's a record that is easily one of the most historical ones in the entirety of the Pro-Wrestling business. ;):cool:

I posted this on my facebook page. 3:10 best chairshot ever!:D
I got a huge shock when Rock said hes never gonna leave the wwe again!
The 'You cant see me' ribbing of cena was gold!
I wonder if the network had any grumbles after Rock used so many words that wwe are not using with their PG rating?
LOL! :DQuote:

(That last Powerbomb onto the chairs looked stiff as hell! :eek:)
I remember one where Bubba-Ray hit Taker insanely hard and busted the chair in one shot over his head - Taker's head then immediately donned the 'Crimson Mask', this was back in the original Brothers of Destruction days. :cool:
I can't find the match specifically, but I did find this which brought back some fond memories. ;):D
Too Right! it was gold, :D:cool:Quote:

It'd be interesting to find out whether Fox Sports over here censored it or not. :confused:
The Rock was censored over here unfortunately. But the you tube version isn't censored:D. I loved the bit with Michael Cole and the Raw GM's email. That was gold:D
I hope The Rock is telling the truth and he doesn't leave. He isn't the best wrestler (although the WM main event with Austin he had was awesome) but he is definitely the best entertainer.
Hulk Hogan has come out and panned The Rock saying that the WWE spent 5 years building up Cena and in 30 seconds The Rock had the crowd chanting "Cena Sucks". This coming from the guy who held everyone else down and refused to put anyone over. Also for years any male over the age of 13 who watches WWE has been sick of Cena being rammed down their throats. They've just been looking for someone else to cheer for. Now they have him:)
Never have truer words been spoken about Wrestling! :eek::cool:Quote:

Im still gutted i havnt seen the Rumble, its the one ppv a year i purchase and i missed the weekend completly. Nash would have been a shock
Who would have thought that at his advanced age Hogan would know what an internet troll is and how to be one.Quote:

Rock v Cena next year at wrestlemania. Darn a lot can happen over the next 360 odd days!
LOL, this reminds me of the time, at the age of 5, that I lept off my best friends couch and dropped the elbow directly into his father's sternum. I winded the poor guy and I'm prertty sure I stepped on his face trying to stand back up. :eek:Quote:

Here's the news.

Famed US pro wrestler Randy Savage dies in crash
Reuters
Sat, May 21, 2011
FLORIDA, USA - US professional wrestling great "Macho Man" Randy Savage died after a car crash on Friday near his home in Seminole, Florida, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The colorful former champion -- known for his husky voice, gaudy costumes and "oooh, yeah!" catch phrase -- appeared to have lost control of his 2009 Jeep Wrangler at 9:25 a.m. local time, crash investigators said.
He drove over a concrete median into oncoming traffic lanes before crashing head-on into a tree and later died of his injuries at a nearby hospital, a crash report said.
He was 58.
While some media outlets quoted his brother as saying the retired wrestler suffered a heart attack while driving, the Florida Highway Patrol said that could not be confirmed until an autopsy is performed.
The crash was not alcohol-related, authorities said.
The wrestler, whose legal name was Randy Poffo, and his wife, who was a passenger in the car, were both wearing seat belts. His wife was hospitalized with minor injuries.
Once a minor league baseball player, Savage rose to fame as "Macho Man" in the 1980s in the World Wrestling Federation, now known as the WWE (WWE.N). He was considered a charismatic and athletic performer in the choreographed world of professional wrestling and he held numerous championships.
He was "an iconic figure," said hall of fame professional wrestler Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes on Friday.
Under contract with the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1993, he competed against fellow stars including Hulk Hogan, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He later was a star in the World Wrestling Federation's now-defunct competitor World Championship Wrestling.
His entrance music was "Pomp and Circumstance" and his signature accessories were sunglasses, bandannas and colorful cowboy hats.
His father Angelo Poffo and brother "Leaping" Lanny Poffo also wrestled professionally.
"WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of one of the greatest Superstars of his time," read a statement posted on the WWE site on Friday. "Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends."
Savage in recent years lent his voice to characters in animated movies and TV shows.
RIP The Macho Man OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a shame about Savage. I still think his match against Ricky Steamboat at wrestlemania 3 is one of the best ever.
A dedication to the late Macho Man. One of the best matches ever.

Figured I can add to this thread somewhat.
Was watching Charmed last night with the missus, one of the episodes had Buff Bagwell, Booker T and Scott Steiner. Scott's name in the show made me laugh though, was Mega Man :p
The only one I respect out of those 3 is Booker, coz I Dig-It! :DQuote:

I agree, I remember her in the late 90s/early 00s still being able to take a bump which was truly impressive - She doesn't look any younger though in that clip. :pQuote:

So what exactly qualifies her to be in the Hall of Fame then? - They must be running out of Actual Female Wrestlers to induct. :p
Well she did beat Moolah originally and was a big part of the Rock 'n' Wrestlin of the 80's which helped put WWF on the map.Quote:

That's sounds closer to the truth IMO. :p:DQuote:

You guys must be too young to remember that far back. :P
No I remember Wendi Richter in her prime but like now I've never been a fan of female wrestling. I was a fan of the mass of tag teams in the early-mid 80's in the WWF. Brittish Bulldogs and U.S Express were particular favourites.
Naturally I didn't like The Dream Team:p
I was born in 85. :p
I started watching wrestling in the early 90s and damn got into it after King of The Ring '96. ;)
Maybe but he was bigger in his prime! :DQuote:

I was at Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans this year. Awesome experience!
Pfft. They threw Taker's legacy out the door by getting him to job to that kumquat , Lesner.
Still not clear who's decision it was to end the streak though. Not sure if Taker's or Vince...?
is jericho back? he's the only reason for me to watch wrestling. I love that he brought back his lion tamer near the end of his last run.
I'd say it was Vince's to further push Lesner -what's better than defeating the man who was 21-0 on the biggest stage of them all? Ive been a lifelong fan & to see his streak come to an end was dissapointing to say the leastQuote:

As for taker's streak - if you happened to watch WM XXX, the reaction of the crowd on TV does not nearly reflect the reaction of the crowd in the stadium that night. Hearing 3/4 of the crowd in the arena turn silent and the amount of jaws you could just about hear dropping to the ground was surreal.
Still. As much as I like Lesnar, pushing Lesnar by giving up the streak doesn't make any sense and would be poor judgement on Vince's part if what you say/think is true. There are talks of taker actually wanting Lesnar to be the one to end the streak. If that's true, then who is anyone else to argue?
