WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

I never thought I'd see the day where a pastor lays hands on Mark Calaway while praying over him at a pastor's conference.

Lost another one. I loved him when I was a kid. The "unslammable team" of Bundy & Studd. RIP.


King Kong Bundy, who was an icon of WWE during the Hulkamania era, has passed away. PWInsider has confirmed that Bundy passed way on Monday at the age of sixty-one. Bundy’s longtime friend David Herro first announced the news, posting to his Facebook, “Today we lost a Legend and a man I consider family. Rest in Peace Chris. We love you. Thank you for believing in me. #KingKongBundy”

He was an excellent heel back in the day.

Whoa!

Last night's Raw seemed Anti-Climatic, the whole Rousey thing, Batista, all just seemed Meh

The return of Bruce Prichard has me intrigued about Raw but not enough to tune in. Seems like nothing has changed by the Raw re-caps I read.

Its also WM season so they always seem to be "better" at this time of the year I mean you know Becky is gonna beat Charlette at Fastlane and the three of them are going to tango at WM should have had them (Becky and Flair) duke it out at Fastlane winner gets the spot at WM

I hope HHH beats Batista down like a rabid dog course it would be a twist if Ric Flair turned on Hunter costing him the match but being that Hunter is more exec doubt there'll be any twists

Watching Smackdown and Samoa Joe finally has a title in WWE.  He took the US Championship from R. Truth in a Fatal Fourway.   Good for him; the guy has worked his butt off in practically every federation that's ever existed.

Plus he uses a knockoff of the Godzilla theme for entrance music so what's not to like?

R.I.P.

RIP to King Kong Bundy, the monster heel with no neck. I wasn't watching during his first run, but I do fondly remember his role in The Million Dollar Corporation (Bam Bam, Nikolai, IRS, Karma [The Godfather], 1-2-3 Kid, Sid etc.)

I think this could get interesting.

I agree with Ross' own assessment of being able to still call matches.  And he's also a smart booker.  He could add a lot to a startup federation.

Indeed. Also throw in Arn Anderson too who was recently fired by WWE. I'm sure AEW has their sights set on him as well.

Mr. Yamaguchi-san passed away the other day. If you don't recognize that name right away, he's the guy who threatened Val Venis with a katana, saying "We're going to choppy choppy your pee pee"

Not sure how i feel about Miz being casted as a Face or the whole Kofi thing, I find it Hypocritical that Daniel Bryan is calling Kofi a B+ player, If its true then its cuz Bryan can smell his own. He's still IMO a B+ Player who is on borrowed time in the ring.

Announced today Main Event at Wrestlemania is Rhonda Rousey vs Charlette Flair vs Becky Lynch first time in WM history a womans match headlines the event

That's actually probably a smart move because from what I've seen of WWE programming lately the women are a whole lot more entertaining and interesting than the men - and not for sex appeal reasons either; their athleticism, characters and storylines are just a whole lot more intriguing.

Watching Raw for probably the last time in a while because baseball season starts this week. 

I really like Charlotte Flair's robes; they're feminine enough but still remind me of Ric's robes.

I know of Charlotte Flair but have never seen her wrestle,interview, etc. Does she whooo! like her father?

Yep!  She uses a variation of the Figure Four too.

That's awesome!

I agree it was a smart move, and yes the Women have been killing it like Toho said not cuz of their looks or sex appeal but because of their characters, athleticism, etc. I mean Becky Lynch right now has been compared to being a female version of Stone Cold Steve Austin. She's a bad ass, when she got busted open by Nia Jax she had captioned her bloodied face with "Irish War Paint" that hooked me in. Bad Ass!!!!!

Triple H vs Batista loser retires? Not sure what to think on that one.

I've even come around to being OK with Bayley ever since she paired up with Sasha Banks. I still don't like her but she doesn't annoy me nearly as much as she used to.

But I agree about Becky Lynch; she is a lot like a female, Irish Stone Cold. If only she'd drink a few cold ones in the ring.

And the main event at WM just got even more interesting because Charlotte Flair beat Asuka for the Smackdown Live women's title.  So now two champions are in the match.  Good call by booking;  I like Asuka but let's face it, her character has become stale.

OK, I'm now watching this Shane vs Miz thing.

I wasn't sure about Miz being a "face" either but now I buy it.  Shane's face is just so "punchable" and he's doing everything to play it up.  Plus I've always despised the concept of "Shane The Wrestler".  This may all end up being a swerve with Shane and Miz pulling the wool over our eyes but I hope not; I hope Miz just beats Shane and Shane goes back to being a normal "heel authority figure"; he has no right being in-ring talent.

Charolette is the only woman to beat Asuka twice now... Im sure that will come into play somewhere down the line but i guess from my reading it was a last min decision from Vince. Would be awesome if both belts were on the line then the winner take all in which case as I like everybody in that match id be routing for Becky Lynch

I just cant picture Miz as a face we shall see how this one goes

Kofi finally getting his title shot at WM awesome, but it really pisses me off when they refer to Kofi as a B+ player especially coming from a B+ player, if Danny Boy wants to move to the A+ level he needs to get on the caliber of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold well you get the idea hehe

And Superstar Billy Graham yells at cloud:

He wrote: “Is The WWE Serious???

I turned on my computer today and went to the wrestling news sites and what did I see? Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at mania. Talk is Vince is going to put that WWE belt on Kofi Kingston…. S—…..You…not me, will have a 145 pound WWE champion. This must of been an idea by the new Sr. Creative Lady Dana Warrior? Meltzer says she has been promoted to an extremely high position on the creative team and attends meeting that only Vince, H and Step are in…damn…how did she get so smart???

My friend Hannibal has been monitoring the Monday Night RAW steady decline in TV viewership. Well Hannibal, it dropped again last night in Boston, Monday, March 25th. Steady decline in TV viewership. I predict that this years mania will be so bad that next year, 2020, will not come close to selling out. The thrill is gone. Is anyone out there really excited to see these 2 light weights wrestle for the WWE Championship ? Oh, one more thing. I would love to see Kofi at 145 pounds put his newly won WWE belt on the line against Brock Lesner, great logistics, 1 man being out-weighed by a good 135 pounds, a total joke this thing is. – S.B.G.”
