Maybe Batista will appear as one of the "former main eventers" like Vader did this week. By the way Vader looked pretty good for a 57 year old man. Still looks the same.

Not a current WWE watcher, but Amazon recently reduced the prices of the Wrestlemania anthologies.

Usually run ~$50 each, got volumes I-III for $30 each. Can't wait to go through some fond memories.

I miss the olden days when Stone Cold used this as opposed to his usual theme.

That show last night.....to say it was underwhelming would be an understatement. Ziggler-Sheamus was probably the best match on the show. The rest was lots of filler. It felt more like an episode of Raw than something someone had to pay $45.

Just read the results on WWE.com. Kind of surprised by two things:

Spoiler

1) I thought for sure that AJ was going to support Bryan, as it was the one thing they weren't potentially forecasting (would have been a kind of swerve)

2) I'm surprised McMahon didn't "screw" Cena, though I suspect he'll be on Raw tonight to that instead

Oh I've noticed to. If John Cena were to take those Soul Man pills like in the movie he would look just like that guy.

Pretty crap Raw apart from the first match IMO. I'm surprised that Laurinaitis actually got the boot. I figured they would keep him going until the next Wrestlemania, at least.

I have a feeling Vader will be in the HOF next year. Just have a feeling.

 

[karamazov80]

He deserves it in my opinion, but that would mean WWE acknowledging that a guy who achieved most of his success in the WCW deserves recognition for that. Sure, they did that with the Horsemen and a handful of others, but I'm sure it eats at McMahon whenever he does that. Notice that the WWE has never adopted War Games, despite it being a brilliant idea, probably out of pride.

 

[thenammagazine]

I dunno. He has the last laugh as far as anything WCW, and he still puts out WCW DVDs and uses their heavyweight belt to this day. If he was bitter about it, he would've just abolished it all after the takeover.

I had a feeling Vince McMahon wasn't too much of a Daniel Bryan fan when he made a comment about his size last week.

Vince McMahon Frustrated With Talent

-- Vince McMahon issued a directive to WWE scouts recruiting athletes as prospective talent; they must meet a size requirement of 6'2" and 240 pounds. The WWE chief is concerned that many of his top-tier talents are approximately 200 pounds, thus small by his standards. His remark to Daniel Bryan on last week's episode of RAW where nobody would believe him to be a WWE Superstar if he was spotted in a grocery store was based on his frustration with his roster's lack of sufficient size. McMahon believes many of his top stars are not reaching the masses because they don't possess 'the Superstar look.'

Reminds me of Honkeytonk and Valentine. Both were at WonderCon a couple years ago acting out that autograph scene from The Wrestler. Valentine kept falling asleep.

AJ is probably the cutest Diva, but for the love of god, raw should not be centered around one, stick a fork in this bit!
