after not really following rasslin' for years, only seeing things here and there, I thought he was effectively retired from in ring? 

He pretty much has been....but he's making this announcement just to confirm for the one hardcore Triple H fan out there (himself)

I'm sure he'll get a nice ego boost the next time he comes out to the ring and the marks start chanting "ONE MORE MATCH!"

lol, that's hilarious, that probably IS the reason for this announcement. Get a "one more match" chant going. Give the pedigree to some poor sap and get a "you've still got it" chant going. Good ole Mr. Helmsley.

In honor of Trips, here's my favorite segment of his. It was actually after Raw went off the air. It's basically just Austin stunning him over and over. It's pretty funny. Just look at the thumbnail. What do ya think happens next lol....

And here's another Austin/HHH video. After Austin beat HHH in a house show match, a fan tries to attack Austin and HHH makes the save....

They always edit it out, but if you can find an original version of Hogan’s heel turn at Bash at the Beach, a fan tries to dive in the ring under the bottom rope and Scott Hall stomps the shit out of his head.

yeah, I've seen other wrestlers get pretty violent when protecting in ring talent, just never seen the refs do it to that extent.

it was good. Although I did miss the first half hour (forgot it was on, so missed the Steiner Bros.)

Looking forward to Wrestlemania today and tomorrow.

If wrestlemania wasn't 2 nights, I'd consider checking it out

overall it was pretty solid. Surprised Dolph retained against Bronn.

WM nigh one starting soon, guess we'll see Cody tonight, also the return of stone cold steve austin. Oh hell yeah!

igotid88

What if it's Bray instead of Cody?

DewieCox

Hunch it’ll be a Shane fake out and he’ll introduce Cody. 

Bray tonight and Cody Monday would be a pretty big coup for WWE as far as IWC.

Seth Rollins to Cody Rhodes "Welcome back to the big leagues, bitch." #WrestleMania38

DewieCox

Dang, this is pretty great. I thought Cody was more of heel. 

eeriepadave

Night 1 was great!

Cody Rhodes vs Seth "Freakin'" Rollinswas def. the match of the night although Bianca vs Becky Lynch was also great. Of course the return of Stone Cold. Wasn't expecting a 10-15 minute match brawl though. He took some crazy bumps like the suplex outside the ring on the floor. Also surprised at how well Logan Paul did. Give him props for that

Excited to see what night 2 brings.

Ledbetterman10

I thought night 1 was terrific. And I don’t think the smile left my face for a moment during Austin/Owens

DewieCox

Yeah, Austin’s wrestling wasn’t amazing , but he took some bumps and the package was overall great. Think they may feeling out a short term return for next year  and maybe didn’t want all the eyes a set main event would draw. 

Who sees an Undertaker speaking tour in the near future? Bet he has stories for years. Afraid it’ll draw too much of a Christian zealot crowd but could be cool to hear more behind the curtain stuff from him.

Zod

And there goes my being able to brag for the last 19 years that I was at Stone Cold's last match in Seattle...

still, it was cool to see him back.. good times.

I still think two 4 hour nights for Wrestlemania is a bit excessive.  We kind of zipped through and watched the stuff that appealed to us given we haven't really watched much WWE since Goldberg show up in WWE the day after Stone's Colds previous last match

eeriepadave

I missed pretty much all of night 2 cause I was out. Did catch like the last half of the Reigns/Lesnar match though.

Holy shit, just seeing this.  They stomped the shit out of that guy.  How this wasn't a lawsuit is beyond me.
