What's this I'm hearing of 100 hours of Nitro?

Not surprised he needs new material.

The way Lawler told it on Austin's podcast was that the next day it was the talk of the city, take it for what that's worth. It looks like Roddy Piper might be on the outs with WWE. He said in a stand-up routine recently that he told Vince off backstage, saying he was a failed concert promoter, a failed bodybuilding promoter and a failed football promoter and that the only business he's ever been successful at was the one his dad handed to him.

I asked in I think the SummerSlam promo how do you get rid of Brock because eventually (and I think sooner than later) he'll want to quit. Coffey's idea made me think the best thing would be an entire locker-room beatdown not that different from Undertaker at Royal Rumble '94.

Pretty sure he wore it at the first Survivor Series and in his SNME match with Sika from a bit earlier than that.

Someone said on Twitter that Raw has a completely new set tonight.

That's what I was thinking.

At least they are adding stuff from shows otherwise not on the network I believe.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/WWE-Macho-Man-The-Randy-Savage-Story-Blu-ray/111068/ Just saw this pop up. I wonder if Vince is going to open up about his side of what happened with Randy when he left. Lanny appeared on WWE Network for something not long ago, so he must be taking part in this.

What's even more strange is the comment Monsoon made during the WrestleMania match that "win, lose or draw it's the final time we'll see that particular belt" but Hogan continued to wear it until the following February.

How would you book Lesnar's exit?

Those would be good interim feuds to lead up to Mania. What's Bryan's situation with his neck? I'm not sure I want to see Lesnar brutalize him either but if he can recover fully from this it would be a HELL of a story.

It's too bad Mero never had a feud with Piper in WCW. Mero would have been an interesting addition to the NWO, not unlike what happened with Bagwell.

Exactly why. Otherwise it'd just be another show and I wouldn't mention it at all. When they were doing the guest host thing every week, I'd always hoped they'd get Robin to do it one week.

I know wrestling is in it's own bubble and everything, but I can't help but feel Robin Williams' death will make tonight's Raw feel a little awkward for a lot of people watching it.

It's gotten positive buzz and has already recouped its budget, which was at $100 million (and brought in close to $120 million). You'll see it between 130-150.It wasn't going to be Guardians or Transformers, but I think it's respectable These kinds of movies always seem to recoup their budget, if not here than overseas. Dwayne is definitely a movie star, but he's always kind of hovered just above B-movie status (the big studio films he does wind up doing are either slotted in late summer like this one was, or is a sequel to an established franchise) and hasn't worked with the kind of director or material that knows all of his strengths and can work to them well. I always thought Tony Scott could have done something with him if Denzel ever stopped working with him.

His basic insinuation that Randy only got the belt because he was over with "the boys" is a bit ludicrous too. He was on his way to eclipsing Hogan in popularity.

I hope they get back to putting those up, I know the reason why they stopped was that they weren't getting much attention but I think if you keep putting stuff up it'll attract enough attention. The house shows frankly were a big reason why I subscribed in the first place. Digitizing the content is likely what is setting them back there, and with regard to their other libraries.

Any word on more MSG/Boston/Philly house shows?

Natural Disasters/Nasty Boys, and push the eventual title change to SummerSlam. LOD/Money, Inc. in a No-DQ match. Re-arrange the 8-man a bit to include Berzerker and Davey Boy and a few others (maybe Owen and Skinner too). Instead of taking Hogan off TV entirely, Just use him sparingly for the rest of the year. I'd think even a Hogan/Undertaker vs. Flair/Sid match could work, if you took the title off Flair in between the Rumble and WM.

"Total Non-Stop Agony" is a good name for a book.

WWE.com had a report saying Orton has been suspended for 60 days due to wellness violation. Key word being had now that it's down.
