WWE Off-Topic

Sex sells. If you can wrestle and look good there's no problem with it.

The chicks that wrestle now are great in the ring and many look good. There's nothing wrong with it.

And yes, many wear *way* more revealing stuff.

And let's not forget all the **** Mickie did, has nudes and stuff etc. And again, guess what, there's nothing wrong with that. She was great in the ring and was/is hot. So what?

Her comment was asinine and unnecessary.

Just saw the HBK/Razor episode of WWE Rivals.

One bit of news I never knew before was that the WM10 ladder match for both titles was "legit". As in, there really were two titles because Shawn refused to ship back the original title (which he had at the time as the champ, but failed a drug test so they suspended him/stripped him of the title) so they actually had to make a new title.

I'm sure the Madusa moment was more to blame than anything, but now it has me thinking this moment could've also contributed to the screw job?

A big name like Shawn Michaels refused to give back the title that was in his possession. Wouldn't be surprised if Bret had some comments backstage or directly to Vince at the time too regarding that, so when the roles were reversed under different circumstances where Bret was the one expected to give the title back, maybe Shawn remembered/heard about the reception to him keeping the actual title and didn't agree with any scenario where Bret "gets away" with keeping the belt and then returning it in proper fashion the next night.


Speaking of which, HBK vs Razor at WM10 wasnt even those two first ever ladder match (they did it at house shows). But also, Bret vs Shawn was actually the first ladder match in WWF.

Anybody watch that Stephanie's Places show?

I only have the basic ad-supported package of Disney and Hulu so it's not available to me. I'm sure it's up on the usual sites where we can watch wrestling, but didn't know if it was worth checking out.

Just feels like some extended YouTube behind the scenes thing.

Rusev has re-signed with the WWE as he was apparently at WWE Headquarters finalizing everything for his return. No word if Lana is coming back as they apparently got re-married but have to think we'll see the pairing of Rusev & Lana back after Mania at some point.

I kind of think he may have been better off in TNA, less bloated and more opportunities versus WWE's bloated roster. Anyhow... Happy Rusev Day!

He'll get the typical return pop/hype but I could see it fading quickly.

When he left I think you could pretty clearly make the case that he should've been higher up than he was, but I'm not sure where he really fits in the current roster.

Meh. What's he gonna do. Another guy I don't really miss.
