  • How do you think Ric Flair's body is holding up? Every time I see him on TV it looks like he is going to have a heart attack or burst a blood vessel in his neck. That guy should really think about full retirement. He must be in some kind of financial or legal trouble to keep on going like that.
  • He must be in some kind of financial or legal trouble to keep on going like that.

    I read at pwinsider.com the other day that he keeps wrestling because he has a lot of bills to pay...he's on his third marriage.

    It's sad really...the spirit of "The Nature Boy" is dead and buried.

    I thought it was funny that USA was pushing to "not miss the first 10 minutes of Raw".

    So, I tune in and the power was out.

    I hope this is foreshadowing.

    The power went out as soon as they went live...for about the first 10 minutes, there were no lights (except for spot lights) in the arena...no pyro, nothing.

    They were scrambling.

    I flipped over late.....saw the darkness at the beginning of the match between Lena and Candice Michelle....thought it looked odd........Edge as the ref had me a'changing the channel.

    Didn't you mention at one time that Edge had gone back to his wife, thus dumping Lena, and that the WWE would not let them end the storyline of them as an item????

    As far as I know, they are not a couple anymore. I don't know if he's gone back with his wife, but they sure do play it off well.

  • I liked it back in the day when they had the NWO and "Hollywood Hogan". What ever happened to Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Especially when they would give someone a beat-down and then spray paint them. Ha ha.

    That was a great time...mainly because they broke some taboos. Hogan turning heel is something no one expected and Hall/Nash coming to WCW as invaders from WWF was pretty cool.

    Hall is away from the business...Nash is sometimes featured in TNA.

    ha! classic!
    I read that blurb about "don't miss the first ten minutes"!

    Alas, I missed them. Then I proceeded to miss the next 110 minutes as well.
  • TNA Impact has been pulling around a 0.7 to 0.9 rating recently. Do you think the Angle announcement will have an immediate effect on ratings, even for a curiosity factor?

    Also, I've been looking forward to the day when a Kurt Angle DVD was released. Do you think WWE squashes any plans to make one, or do they release one to make a quick buck on a lost commodity?

    Quick buck on a lost commodity...........that would explain the Ultimate Warrior dvd.

  • Looking forward to TNA Impact next week. They will be doing a sit-down interview with Angle.

    This week's Impact was pretty good. Great development in the tag-team division... it's incredibly refreshing to see a bunch of tag teams capable of competing for the tag belts.

    TNA's promo videos continue to impress me. They do a fantastic job of building PPV suspense and recapping the Impact shows.

    It's great to see the heels fight over posession of the title belt. It shows that each is only concerned about their own, and to hell with the typical face vs. heel standoffs.
  • I'm trying to figure out a way for the wrestling world to grab my interest the way MMA has.

    I rarely even tune into the shows anymore (could be because of the spolier information...but it could be that the shows are boring).

    I watch (and look forward to) the UFC shows the same way I used to look forward to the WWE/WCW products.

    It's time to re-invent themselves...it's not about entertainment...it's about wrestling.

    I've really wanted to go to an ROH show. They come to the Chicago area (Chicago Heights) once every 5-6 months or so, but I've had schedule conflicts each time around. Same holds true again for their next Chicago show on October 28th. arrrrrgh!!!!!
  • The Flair 5 tonight was the best moment in the WWE in some time

    That sucks, because seeing their shows live is awesome. Have you ever actually seen ROH dvds or anything? If not, you really need to pick up some of their DVDs. They're really good if you're into the WRESTLING part of pro wrestling. The first ROH show I went to Eddie Guerrero wrestled, and at the time was the best show I was ever at. They used to have a TV show here in PA too, but since that went off the air, I haven't had a chance to see to much recent ROH. I still follow it and watch it every now and then, and it's so much better than TNA....and WWE of course. People that are fans of only WWE never seem to like it, though. But yeah, once you make it to one of their shows, you'll be blown away.

    some sad news..
    Roddy Piper announced via his official website that he's been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and will begin treatment to battle the disease immediately.

    The cancer was found after Piper was hospitalized for the removal of a benign tumor in his back that had been causing Piper tremendous pain. As we noted earlier today, there had been great relief when the tumor was ruled benign, but additional tests found the lymphoma.

    Piper, on his official website, commented, "It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life. But this fight, is one I am gonna win!"

    Everyone here at the site sends Piper and his family the best as he battles Lymphoma.

    all the best Roddy

    Truly sad.........just when his career might regain some spark.

    Fight on, Roddy, fight on.


    In other news, I have heard that the "Big Slow" has torn his rotator cuff and will require surgery.
