The WWE Thread

I love when Mark Henry talks back to the crowd.

That's not accurate, Warrior did not sign a contract with WWE itself, just 2K.

"According to F4WOnline.com, while The Ultimate Warrior has been announced as a playable character in the upcoming WWE 2K14 video game, and he did film a commercial for the game which you can check out at this link, the deal Warrior signed is with 2K and not WWE.

The company that produced the commercial was a group called Zambezi and the shoot took place in Los Angeles. As of this writing, Warrior is not scheduled to appear on WWE TV to promote the game."

But it suggests his relations with the WWE are warming, otherwise they wouldn't have licensed the use of his character to begin with. Same with Macho Man, as he had toys, a DVD, and playable character in video games all happen over the last few years.

Just referring to your signature quote. I've always been into sad bastard poetry.

It's not sad, it's empowering!

Raise your voice in swells
Find your meanings, then
Use your signs inside
To relive, and live again

No point in holding back on what you're holding
No matter it be **** or it be golden
Foundations shift, instead of shifting
We set up, we set up our falls

Hold on tight to your fears
‘Cos that's your hatred
And that's your love as well
Learn to use all your fears
As a fuel, as an engine
To get you where you need

I must always remember;
There's no point to surrender

No point in holding back on what you're holding
No matter it be **** or it be golden
Foundations shift, instead of shifting
We set up, we set up our falls

Hold on tight to your fears
‘Cos that's your hatred
And that's your love as well
Learn to use all your fears
As a fuel, as an engine
To get you where you need

I must always remember;
There's no point to surrender

Trust me, you don't want to see that.

I sure as hell do.

Your quote is. "April is the cruelest month, breeding. . .lilacs out of the dead land. . ." is not, IMO

 

[Tornadoflame]

Why's that?

RVD is nowhere what he used to be, and even in his prime he was botching moves consistantly. And now he can't make it through half a match without sucking wind. I don't think he has any 4 star matches left in him, let alone 3 star matches. He just botched the ladder spot Sunday with Sheamus pushing the ladder inwards.

He shut them up pretty quick, didn't he? The "you tapped out" died in an instant.

For sure!

 

[karamazov80]

Well I wouldn't expect a genuine 4/5 star match at this point with RVD, but I would still like to see those guys go at it just because they are two of the greats IMO. Last night proved to me that RVD still has something in the tank.

 

[FLOSI]

It will take awhile to get his wind and timing back. All in all he looked better than 90% of the roster last night.

Because Vince agreed to recognize the whole family of Randy Savage instead of just him. The whole family wanted to be shoved into the HoF and Vince agreed to that at some point even though they're now trying to just get Randy in.

Warrior has said in 2K14 interviews that he isn't talking to the E right now and just accepted when 2K offered him to be in the game.

I wouldn't mind seeing Warrior back in talks with the E but I doubt it'll happen.

Have you watched Wrong Side of Town?

Even if he did go back it would probably be for a HOF induction and maybe a funny Legends appearance or two. This commercial and his involvement in the game suggests that the WWE doesn't think of his insane right wing opinions as poison for the company, which could be the start of. . .something. Since WWE apparently owns the right to the "Ultimate Warrior" character I guess they could release any DVDs they want to anyway, but if he's involved giving his side of the story it would be much more interesting.

Never even heard of it, but after a quick Google search I would say the chances of my ever seeing it are slim to none I never said RVD could act!

 

[karamazov80]

I see now that David "the Demon" Defalco is the director of that DTV Van Dam movie. I know of him from this review:

Good stuff!

No you should check it out. It's one of those movies where its so bad, its good. RVD is actually the bright spot in the movie.

I love RVD and I love his shoot interviews. Nobody ever has a bad thing to say about him. I hope to meet him one day.

I love your avi, Tornado.

I love your avi, Tornado.

You should see the shirt I'm wearing at work today.

 

[FLOSI]

Are you from the area?

 

[Tornadoflame]

Naw, from Virginia. Been a Niner fan since 4 years old.

 

[FLOSI]

Same here... My whole damn life. My father was a season ticket holder at Kezar. I didn't miss a game from a the time I was four or five till I was in High School. I only caught the 4th quarter of a Monday Night Game against the Giants because of some high school football awards ceremony I had to attend to get my letter. Anyway, I love the 49ers. : Nice to meet you.

 

[karamazov80]

Being a Saints fan, considering they were formerly of the NFC West, I saw many 49ers games in the 80s and 90s. . .of course, we were the 49ers' whipping boys for many years.

I hated Jerry Rice SO MUCH as a kid.
