RIP WildPeg, may you continue to have unexpected sexual releases on weight benches in heaven homie. *pours contents of 40 oz on ground*

IIRC, some local indy had "Superstars of Wrestling" trademarked, I think they actually did it at some point after the WWF show started. They sued over rights, WWF lost since the paperwork was all in the indy's favor. The logo gets blurred on any reshowings and I'm pretty sure it's why the show was renamed "WWF Superstars" at some point before it ended.

That would be horrible. He'd make them look tiny, he can't easily drop down to the mat, and it makes no sense for him to be involved in a shooty political angle. I agree, but it's not like Hunter's going to be doing any Tommy Young style sliding three counts here.

I seem to recall them showing footage of Harley Race winning in 1986, but I guess it could have been from anywhere and they were just pretending it was from the tournament.

If she's following a diet designed to get 0% body fat and is working out obsessively, then it can result in her looking like that.

I don't know if they were officially WWWF shows but they had a working arrangement with Tunney in Toronto. Bruno was up there a lot, I know that.

Punk mentioning that Cena's fans pee in their pajamas when he comes out got everyone involved in that segment to crack at least a smile. It also should be noted that Punk has pretty much turned face on his promos despite being matched up against Captain SuperBabyfaceMan. I guess you can argue how much of a percentage of fans watching every week are privvy to insider type stuff, but he's certainly tapped into a long ignored segment of the fanbase that is responding to what he's doing.

From what I can gather, the theory that seems to be gaining the most momentum involves her having some kind of exercise obsession and following some sort of diet plan where the goal is 0% body fat.

REAL SPORTS BUILD makes a comeback

Bret Hart even chimes in with a great response on Twitter:

It fit in the context of the whole Punk deal being all shooty and inside referential. Nothing at all odd about mentioning workrate and heel persona when you have Punk call out Johnny Ace for firing people over the phone and mentioning SHOOTNAMES~!. If he would have just mentioned it out of the blue then it would have been Russoific. Also it helped that Cena is 100% right when he said he will never win that crowd over.

Tonight, they had Cena largely stay away from the comedy and I thought he more than held up his end of the promo exchange with Punk. In fact, I think everyone was awesome in that final segment.

Was linked on the WO.com page today: He's way better at smarmy heel promos than I ever expected. I love the added touch of all the HHH merchandise behind him.

And Booger Red for Undertaker. Then there's the WWE's penchant for scripting Cena to give his opponents awful nicknames like Y2Cheap and CM Sucks. God, this. I keep wishing for Cena to use some of his capital to change the verbiage of his promos. Nothing makes him look lamer than the awful attempts his character makes to insult the heel, especially when there's usually a million more obvious (and better) jokes to make. It makes an odd sight, as they seem to be continually be trying to bury the guy who's the cornerstone of the entire company by making him look like a bigger and bigger goof in his promos. It makes it even more infuriating when he does a serious promo and is awesome doing it, then within seconds they have him do some painful comedy that just flushes it away again.

Vince will protect anyone who sells merchandise (it seems to have saved Sin Cara's job for the time being), so as long as Punk keeps moving product I would think Vince will overturn any "eating Pedigrees" plans.

All past logos other than the scratch WWF logo are intact on VOD programming. I think they just want people to get accustomed to the block style WWE logo since that's what they use on new Legends branded merch.

Will he have a choice? I strongly doubt he has veto power in his contract. I strongly doubt he would have signed a contract that didn't give him some say in storylines he's involved in. I doubt he has Hogan level creative control, but the whole reason his last deal went down to the last month ( assume he signed right before the first promo) was because he wanted certain conditions. I doubt he'd trade months of eating Pedigrees for a week off.

Bryan had to do the post-TNA PPV show by himself tonight/this morning because apparently Dave fell asleep.

I'd like to know what drugs people expect Punk to start taking to go along with a gameplan that involves him eating Pedigrees.

Watching the Ricky Steamboat HOF matches on demand, and one is a tag team match where he teamed with Sting. It struck me that after 15+ years of the dark haired version in some form or fashion, Surfer Sting now looks completely alien to me. It's like a completely different person.

So I don't understand something here. TNA and AAA have a deal. From what I can tell, they mention TNA on AAA TV. However TNA doesn't mention AAA at all to the point of having a false plate made to cover the AAA world title when Jarrett has it on TNA TV to cover the AAA logo on the front. What was the point of making a deal if they can't name the promotion or show a TNA guy going to another promotion and winning their title? It's like they don't want to be seen as a real promotion instead of a small time indy fed that gets to have its shows at Universal Studios.

Haven't heard eiter of those stories, anyone have details? When the Wellness Policy first came into play, Masters lost a lot of size, easily 20-30 pounds of mass. He was off TV for a while afterwards and it later came out that he went into a depression over being so small after being jacked for so long, and that it was a known but little mentioned side effect of roid use that guys get psychologically dependent on them since they can't handle seeing themselves get small again. He also got mocked by DX on an episode of Raw for being so noticeably small, but I can't remember if it was before or after his depression was known. I want to say after, since it started a mild furor on the interwebs how it wasn't cool to mock a guy who A: followed company policy and B: had legit emotional problems about it.

When someone leaves WWE for say, TNA, if they show footage of that person at all it's usually just footage of that person losing or taking a beating. When someone who was in TNA for a cup of coffee makes it big in WWE, they use it as a centerpiece to hawk their online On Demand subscription site.

He (or whoever he pasted that from) just read the daily WO.com update and listened to yesterday's Dave show and paraphrased it into a GRAPZ NOOZ report.

Also World Class had Bill Mercer on commentary when they had one of the hottest territories on the planet, you sure as hell can't give him any of the credit for that.
