So we could see a match with balding Billy Gunn, XL-Pac, and the Old Dogg soon? Sweet! I love them, but X-Pac looked a bit out of shape in summer and Billy Gunn is reaching HBK status with the hair.

DX as a whole was almost inducted to the HOF this year, also according to Waltman.

@ADriftingPoet Well, we were almost inducted this year, but I'll step aside for Bruno to be inducted any day of the week.

Seeing his responses to everyone on Twitter (even the haters) about the Legends contract really made me think he's a pretty good dude. I hate to admit it to most people, but he was always like... my #2 favorite behind HBK.

The rumors were that the WWE was very disappointed in the shape that he showed up in during Raw 1000. Apparently they wanted to sign Billy Gunn right away and have him wrestle some more, but they didn't want Waltman anywhere near the cameras.

I'm hoping he's getting back into shape, and I hope to see him soon on TV.

I know he's been working the indies more, and stopped doing drugs as far as I know. I'm thinking (or hoping) this execution of his legends contract is signifying that WWE may start doing whatever they have had planned for him.

And just as we're talking about this, he posts this on twitter.

Im down to 206 from almost 240. I cant believe I got that heavy.

That's about what he was billed at back in the day so he's probably good then.

Rocky's on Extreme Rules, aww yeah.

- Irish stars Joey Cabray ('OMEN') and Rachelle St. Claire (Rachel Walker) have signed development deals with WWE according to No Limit Wrestling.

^Cabray aka Boogeyman Jr.

- There has been talk of having Daniel Bryan and Kane defend the WWE tag team championship at WrestleMania and playing out the angle to where they split up for good according to Raj Giri of WrestlingInc.com.

- WWE Champion The Rock has now agreed to work a number of post-WrestleMania dates for WWE, including the May 19th Extreme Rules pay-per-view in St. Louis.

- After the recent troubles with his knee that we've been covering this week, Rey Mysterio's future is in question. When he mentioned to one company official that he tore his good knee up about a week ago, it was brought up that he should consider retiring. While Rey avoided surgery this time, he is one major injury away from having to need a complete knee replacement. Rey currently has about one year left on his contract.

- Several sources are now reporting that former TNA Knockout Rosita (Thea Trinidad) got a backstage tryout with WWE this week. No word yet on how things went.

- Antonio Cesaro just passed the 200 day mark as WWE United States Champion, making him the 5th longest in the history of WWE's version of the title. Cesaro ranks behind MVP with a record 343 days, Chris Benoit, The Miz and Shelton Benjamin.

- We noted before that WWE parted ways with WWE Creative head Eric Pankowski earlier this week. Word going around is that Pankowski was removed from his position because he wasn't receptive to ideas beyond his own and that eventually cost him allies within the company.

Pankowski was described as not knowing how to deal with personalities while in a position that required him to deal with a lot of different personalities. There were a few incidents where Pankowski and some of the wrestlers got into arguments over what would work and what wouldn't on WWE TV. It was described as a "Hollywood mindset not adapting to the pro wrestling mindset, and instead trying to force the opposite."

Nobody within WWE was surprised by the change but some were surprised that it happened before WrestleMania 29.

Looks like I was right. I should collect from all those who said otherwise *Ted Dibiase laugh*

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

People just want to see him walk away so they can say "Told you so".

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Think Rock is also scheduled to work SSlam as well and next WM, gotta give him some credit for putting in the time for more then just one major event. He may not be wrestling all the time, but he seems to want to stick around.

**Redacted01** · 03-09-2013, 09:55 AM

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

I'm disappointed that he won't wrestle on regular TV once, but if he sticks it out until May and is around in August, him getting handed the title is not as bad as it could have been... depending on what goes down at Extreme Rules. Like I said in another thread, I'm thinking they go triple threat to give him a way out and so Cena has something. Or Cena loses the belt to the 3rd man and we can all celebrate! I still think it is a given Cena wins which makes the $60 or whatever not worth spending.

Its pretty funny when evidence keeps piling up to the contrary.

**TheShizNo1** · 03-09-2013, 11:12 AM

Go away Rock.

He's so.....idk the word. I don't want to blame the way he is on PG either. He's just bland now to me. I don't even care about the part time thing anymore. Just bland.

I'm sure he would, but they aren't going to book it. It's still new enough that having him wrestle on free tv just doesn't make sense, since people are still going to pay to see it.

Yeah, I have no doubt he'd wrestle every Monday if it was his choice.

Vince just doesn't want to risk it.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Meh I dont know if Rock would want to wrestle every week. Seems like a heavy enough load. Plus he really cant risk an injury like that.

If Im in his shoes I would probably avoid the normal workload as well.
