Apart from the botched 2/3 falls match with the Rockers, anything with the Heart Foundation in it is a gem

I remember one of those Coliseum Videos had a fan's choice match, that was supposedly Bushwackers vs. Nasty Boys

Ugghhh...My two least favorite tag teams of all time.

They really stretched it a bit with those "fan" requests. I was at a Superstars taping that had an Akeem/Hercules match. Months later it appeared as the fan request match on Supertape 2. Seriously who would pick that?

It looks like John Cena has filed for divorce

WWE star John Cena has filed for divorce.

Cena filed the docs in Florida, claiming his marriage to Liz Huberdeau is "irretrievably broken." John and Liz were high school sweethearts but only married three years ago. They have no children.

Now here's the kicker -- Liz has already hired high-powered Miami attorney Raymond Rafool, the same attorney who repped Linda Hogan during her divorce ... and took Hulk to the cleaners.

But it won't be easy -- according to the docs, Liz signed a crippling pre-nup in 2009.

Liz' lawyer has already released a statement, claiming, "Although it is indeed unfortunate that John Cena decided to divorce his high school sweetheart Liz Cena; particularly, after they have come so far in their lives and in his career together, Liz will and really has no choice but to pursue all of her rights and entitlements."

The attorney adds, "Sadly, divorce is not the way Liz thought her perfect love story would end."

With FL being a "no fault" state, she won't get what she thinks she's entitled to. Especially with a pre-nup.

You can't sue me!!!

Yeah Cena was smart. Just look at Hogan getting taken to the cleaners for 70% of his stuff. Now he has to watch some young punk kid driving his cars around town; not to mention using his boats, his jet skis; sleeping in his mansion, spending his hard earned money that he literally broken his back for.,etc..etc. All this while his ex-wife accuses him of being gay to the media.

LOL

Man, my reaction to this news story really proves to me how little I care about the personal lives of these guys

Well, on his bright side, he gets to sleep with his daughter's look-a-like. Some funny ____ and a LOT of it seems highly plausible. It's long, but well worth the watch if you haven't seen it. :

So apparently the WWE thinks we're stupid again.

Why would they have Hayman threaten Triple H with a lawsuit for a misdemeanor assault and battery when his client, in turn, would potentially be looking at the felony version and Hayman potentially for harassment and trespassing? Are the writers incapable of using Google?

The Laronidas vs. Show storyline is old. It was done better with Vince and the "Kiss My Ass Club."

Still looking to see if there's some type of discrimination lawsuit requiring McMahon to give Brodus a push. For the life of me I can't see how it's at all good from a business perspective maybe as a heel, but not as a babyface. And again with the ____ing kids and the genital shaking... WTF?!?!?!

Looking forward to seeing what Laronidas has planned to happen to John backstage so that he keeps his job and they can keep milking the tyrant storyline.

 

[karamazov80]

I think Laurinaitis will bring in a new rassler to interfere on Sunday to help him win. If he's not on the roster yet, then he can't be terminated. Otherwise, the rules they've set up seem to not give him many ways to win.

He can't do that. Any outside interference, remember? But what it didn't say is what he could do outside of the ring. Which I'm guessing he'll probably have Cena jumped by Otunga or maybe appeal to Big Show on Smackdown to jump him behind the scenes at Over the Limit, hoping to get his job back.

Speaking of using Google....

Running back and forth in between the commercials. Didn't give a ____ enough to check spelling. Especially regarding 2 d-bags. But you got the point.

I loved seeing Heyman last night. He may be a scumbag, and maybe he screwed over lots of wrestlers back in the day, but damn if he can't talk.


I remember that match. A friend of mine had the tape it was released on. Owen was great in the ring going back to his days in Japan or as the Blue Blazer. He actually started in the mid-80s in Calgary, so by 93, he was pretty seasoned. And the Steiners were really good back in the day, particularly Scott, who was really athletic. The Steiners also had a brief stint in ECW around that time.

Anyone here seen the first date Rick Steiner went on?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLF-vq_DYmk

I completely forgot about that Rick Steiner date vignette. I actually watched it back when it aired; I was a kid and I still cringed back then. WCW had the wackiest booking in that era. Does anyone remember when Robocop was on one of their ppv's and scared the hell out of the four horsemen? Despite some of the silliness, I loved that WCW era because their matches were so much better than most of the stuff you'd see on the WWF at the time.

Loved that Harts vs. Steiners match. Too bad we never got the Steiners vs the Hart Foundation or the British Bulldogs. A dream match for me would be the Steiners and Hardy Boys, their styles would really compliment each other.

RAW was awful, I know John Cena does a lot of good things for the children, especially for the make a wish foundation, you can see how much he means to those ill little boys and girls and I applaud him for that, but the whole show tonight just seemed aimed at little kids. You had Big show crying, a CM Punk comedy match guest starring Santino, and John Cena's promo that would only make a 10 year old laugh. Paul Heyman's promo was the only thing that was any good.

 

[The Ringer]

When the Rock leaves, everything goes to hell.

What did he say were the consequences for outside interference? Forfeiture of the match?

I agree on both counts. Robocop teaming with Sting is hilariously awful.

Sid as a Horseman. . . *sigh*

But yeah, look back around the early 1990s at some of those WCW PPVs or Clash of Champions and you inevitably get a handful of good to great matches, while with WWF, apart from Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, and a smattering of others their shows were littered with crap.

I agree. Lame show overall, though I thought the tag match with Punk was good minus Santino. I was expecting HHH to say to Heyman, "well, if you're gonna sue me anyway, I might as well show you what battery really means," then to walk over to the ring and chase him out of the building

 

[thenammagazine]

It said that there would be no outside interference whatsoever, nobody ringside, etc.. So I'm guessing it'd fall under a DQ and they've already stated that if Cena wins (no stipulations on the win), Leonidas gets the axe.

 

[DinoLast]

Big Show will run in and trip up Laryngitis or something like that thus causing Cena to be disqualified, then it will turn out that this was the plan all along and Big Show attacks Cena. Laryngitis then re-hires Big Show on Raw the next day, and we see Little Jimmy crying into his big show knitted hat.
