Just a little bit of random news:

Scott Hall "managed" his son Cody at the Believe in Wrestling event in Orlando last Friday. No word on how Hall has been managing himself lately, but there were no reported mishaps.

Also, former WWF/WCW talent Sean O'Haire has taken up a new profession in hair styling. I dare say that beats working the indy circuit, as does just about anything.

Brock vs HHH with HBK in the corner. What a surprise! I wish Shawn Michaels would get his own identity already and quit living in HHH's shadow. I really hope Michaels thanks HHH every single day for the career that he has given him.


Wait... now you're accusing HBK of riding Hunter's coattails?

Not a chance Mont. You know where I stand on HHH's success. Without HBK involved it would be another HHH borefest. Really Looking forward to seeing HBK super kick Brock though.


Then, I think you accidentally got the two guys switched in the last sentence of your post:

I really hope Michaels thanks HHH every single day for the career that he has given him.

And, as always, I will point out that Hunter's first title run & big push came BEFORE his relationship with Stephanie; a fact you CONSTANTLY neglect...every time.

That's good; very befitting a man his age and in his position.

Now, let's see if he can convince his buddy Shawn to follow suit. Can you see this, toy boy? It's not 1995 anymore, and you're well past your 20's...and 30's...and, the skullet thing with cowboy hat, gay biker chaps and Nasser-eye make you look ridiculous and pathetic...even more so now.

OLE BIG

C/O LOP:

WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race and his former protégé in World Championship Wrestling, Vader, came to blows in front of fans at today's "Legends of the Ring" convention in Monroe, New Jersey. Details remain sketchy, but Race punched Vader in the face after the two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion became belligerent. Vader attempted to punch back at the 69-year-old—who now uses a motorized scooter to get around—but accidentally struck and hurt a worker who came between them. Race and Vader then went into the hallway to discuss their issue.

Ha... Even at 69 and relegated to using a Hoveround, Harley is STILL a bad-ass!

Vader has got a bad habit of other wrestlers punching him outside the ring.

Yeah; in WCW.
I don't recall what it was about, but apparently, Paul came out from the shower wearing flip-flops and drilled Leon, knocking him down.

Its  good thing Race is an old man, even a 50 year old version of him would have been enough to cause serious damage to Leon at will. Orndorff hammered him, Meng simply told him he didnt want to have to get up from his seat  ;D

I love Harley Race. 

Poor Vader.  He should be one of the baddest guys around and he gets the worst of any altercation.

True.
So many guys used to think he was being a prick in the ring, but they didn't realize that he's a good guy who liked to work stiff ala Japan.

LOP:

New details are coming out about The Undertaker's status for WrestleMania 29 and it's said that The Deadman is not in good shape at all. One thing that wasn't reported after his WrestleMania match with Triple H this year is that the hip replacement he had a few years back was damaged pretty bad.

There is talk that some of the surgical work he has had done over the past few years is really beat up to the point that he's back to square one. Taker had been going to see specialists in New York but he is so beat up now that WWE has been flying the doctors to his home in Texas instead.

There is also a lot of talk within WWE that if he does end up doing anything at WrestleMania 29, it likely won't be a big time physical match like we are used to. As we have noted, there is talk of having Taker work the Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant with the idea he can do a few memorable spots before being eliminated.

Right now The Undertaker is not being figured into any major WrestleMania plans internally. The feeling is if he wants to do it and feels like he can do it, WWE will make room for him. It wouldn't be the first time but it's possible could see The Undertaker skip a WrestleMania in 2013.

Some people within WWE are under the impression that the "end of an era" hype from this year's WrestleMania against Triple H really was the end as far as big time WrestleMania matches for The Undertaker go.

The Undertaker should hang up the boots. He's already destined to spend the majority of the remainder of his life in a wheelchair. His body is completely torn up from all the wear and tear.

The official WWE website reports that Brad Armstrong, who most notably competed for the National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and briefly for WWE in 2006, was found dead in his home this morning. He was 51-years-old.

Their message states, "WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of Brad Armstrong, 51, one of four sons of “Bullet” Bob Armstrong. Brad Armstrong last participated in the ring for the ECW brand in 2006. WWE understands that Brad saw his physician last week for a medical issue and was found unresponsive this morning. WWE extends its sincerest condolences to the entire Armstrong family."

Brad is the brother of WWE referee Scott Armstrong and producer Brian "Road Dogg" James. The brothers, as well as Steve, who wrestled for WWE in 1992 as Lance Cassidy, inducted "Bullet" Bob Armstrong into the WWE Hall of Fame last year.

Wish more then anything he would come back home to us and lead the Federation into another Attitude era.


I really doubt Linda will seek a third run - particularly with the substantial margin by which she lost. She reportedly outspent her opponent 8:1 this time around. IIRC, she spent in excess of $60 million on her first bid four years ago.

While it's impossible to predict for sure, I'd say her campaign aspirations are behind her. If that is the case, I would expect to see the family resort to extreme measures to re-build their business empire - especially given the old man's ego. They know what sells, and there is no longer a fear of reprisal from campaign opponents or voters.

NOW, GIVE US BACK OUR F'ng SHOW!!!

PWTorch has posted a list, including a photo, of WWE Studios films set for release in 2013.

"No One Lives" w/ Brodus Clay

"Dead Man Down" w/ Wade Barrett

"The Marine 3: Homefront" feat. The Miz

"12 Rounds: Reloaded" feat. Randy Orton

"The Hive" feat. Halle Berry w/ David Otunga

"Leprechaun: Origins" feat. Hornswoggle (my personal favorite!)

WWE Studios is also partnered with the French foreign film company Kare Productions, and will be credited in association with their upcoming film "Les Reines du Ring". The movie feature "WWE trademarks, footage, consumer products and incorporate cameos by some of WWE’s biggest stars including WWE Superstars CM Punk, The Miz and Eve," according to the April press release from WWE.com.

That film is also expected to be release in 2013, although WWE will likely be producing and re-releasing the film in English at a later date.

The old man has done so much for professional football simply by no longer being a part of it.

I wish he would have done the same for wrestling around 1990.  8)
