Any WWE fans in the audience? (Part 1)

You talking about the emblem on their jackets?

It vaguely looks like a Heinz label, but it looks more like a Jack Daniels label to me.

The bright red trunks they wore on NXT this week.

JBL has a good interview with Stan Hansen on Legends. Hansen’s a pretty mellow guy, exact opposite of the scary cowboy he used to portray. They talked mainly about his WWWF, Mid South, and AWA runs and his time in Japan, which he loves. He won the AWA championship, but Verne Gagne didn’t tell him they expected him to drop the belt to Nick Bockwinkle the next day, so he walked. He later sent the belt back after he ran over it with a tractor. I think Bockwinkle had to use one of the tag team belts in the meantime.

I wish they had talked about his WCW days, because that’s where I remember him most. He was supposed to be in some cowboy angle with Dutch Mantel, Black Bart and some other goofball, but he hated the angle so much, he went back to Japan. I would love to have heard him talk about that.

He had a reputation for working stiff, and his eyesight wasn’t that good to begin with. When he wrestled Vader in Japan, he started by swinging his cowbell on the end of a rope to bonk Vader in the face and wound up popping out his eye. Vader pushed it back in and continued on with the match for another 30 minutes. Totally badass.

At the end, JBL asked him if there was anything he wished he could do over, what would it be? Hansen said “I wish somebody had taught me how to work.”

Chavo Guerrero Sr. (aka Chavo Classic), brother of the late Eddie Guerrero and father of Chavo Guerrero Jr., has passed away. Notably, he was the oldest holder of the original WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

Its the Toilet Stall PPV!!!

Wait, what? Elimination Chamber? Isn’t that the same thing? Its right there in the name, isn’t it?

Prepared for it by watching the fatal five way Cruiserweight match twice today.

Larry Fine is on the preshow again.

Glad Becky won, but there were too many forearms and lariats for my taste, I would rather have seen more flashy moves.

Too damned many rest holds in the Ziggler-Crews match.

Nothing really special about this PPV so far. To me, it seems like it is just extended TV matches. Hopefully the Chamber itself will make the show.

Goddamn I’m tired of Randy Orton and his fucking rest holds.

Naomi vs Alexa was the best match of the night IMO. Alexa’s facial expressions are priceless. Naomi’s outfit is a living acid trip.

Yeah, actually like Naomi’s outfit and am glad she gets a run with the title. As the audience said, she deserves it.

Bray Wyatt’s entrance was simply beautiful. The darkness, the smart phone fireflies, the purple lightning on each opponent as Bray stares at them… think I’ll put on some Floyd.

John Cena

is outta there!

Finally liked Corbin. Most of the time, he just bores me.

And that was a surprise. Didn’t see it at all.

Whaaaaaattttttt???

Do it bray!!!

Follow the buzzards!!!

Well, the rumors were true. So very very glad Mr. Rotunda finally gets the belt.

Daddy’s filing the new champ’s taxes for free this year.

Finally watching the post PPV Talking Smack. DBD immediately throws shade on the unpredictable booking and lack of planning, then comments on the yelling in his headset and just freaking pulls out the earphones and leaves them out. :smiley:

Good for him.

I must listen to too many podcasts, who read too many dirtsheets, cuz I’ve been hearing about a Randy/Bray 'Mania match forever.

Speaking of 'Mania rumors (And horrible ones at that): Did anyone notice last night that when Nikki and Nattie were feuding backstage, Nikki spilled some powder crap or whatever on Maryse? Sigh…bring on the Cena/Nikki vs Miz/Maryse mixed tag bullshit…

Wait, I’m confused…so DBD, on air, completely broke kayfabe in a million pieces and said that the booking is irrational? Or was it still the pseudo kayfabe that Talking Smack is?

I don’t think DBD (or Mick Foley) has any booking power. He’s having to echo what the bookers decide over the headset, and apparently they were still squabbling while he was on Talking Smack.
