That would make sense, but they don't even seem to be teaching these people whay THEY want them to know.

These stories only put more emphasis on the question: why does WWE frown on hiring people who know about wrestling? That has to be the most ass-backwards system I've ever seen. I mean can you imagine that in the real world? "Well Bob, you have 15 years of experience in what we do, but I'm afraid my boss doesn't want to hire anyone who knows about our profession"

Bret posted this pic on his website to celebrate his 48th birthday in June.

That's some pretty funny irony, considering the long standing story that the good Cowboy was banging Dark Journey and she's prominent in the latter half of the tape library.

I don't understand how they own Georgia footage and not Mid-South. I mean Vince got footage since Georgia-->JCP--->WCW--->WWE, so how come it doesn't work the same way since Mid-South--->UWF--->JCP--->WCW---->WWE? I'm not sure how I feel about WWE owning pretty much all of wrestling history from the mid 70s on up. I'm happy that it means the possibility for increased distribution, but (as someone who owns the one DVD Kevin did put out) there's something odd about watching 80s wrestling in a slick WWE produced package. World Class was one of the first wrestling companies I followed. I used to *run* home from school to make sure I didn't miss it when it came on at 4pm. I don't know if I like one person, especially someone like Vince, owning all my early wrestling memories. It seems like he buys this stuff as a "fuck you" to all the promoters who tried to beat him. It also worries me with the "less wrestling, more talk" mindset sweeping WWE. What if Vince gets hit by a bus and Stephanie decides to just lock up all the footage they own in a vault somewhere because she doesn't think people want to watch all that wrestling stuff? It's just odd they would purchase more wrestling footage when they want less and less wrestling in their own programming.

The Blade Runners weren't as impressive as you'd think. I would never guess in a million years that they both would end up world champions. I will say, whoever trained Sting did a hell of a job. They both were at the same level then and Warrior stayed there.

Can you imagine the markout of the century if Bret came out somewhere along the line to confront HBK?

Hopefully this means that at least they'll change the name of the DVD from "Screwed" to something less disrespectful.

They own the footage, so who cares if Sting likes it or not? They've included stuff with Bruno on DVDs already and I'm sure they didn't have an agreement with him.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.....

The best line was when Animal came out and challenged MNM to a tag match Nitro (I think) responded "You can't, your partner's DEAD!"

Not to mention Vince wanted to push smaller guys since the steroid trial was ongoing so that's why guys like Bret and HBK suddenly got main event pushes.

Saw some news bits and I couldn't figure out which one is funnier:

He was arrested when Kona Crush disappeared, and it's why he came back as "hardened criminal DOA member Crush" when he came back.

Isn't the 86 RnR-Andersons match on the Bloodbath DVD?

Maybe they want to do a Katie Vick angle with him and Sapphire.

They're also reporting Dusty's meeting with Steph as well.

With all the OMGWORKEDSHOOT~! bullshit WWE.com is doing, who knows what to believe on there anymore? He's probably doing stuff for the DVD anyway.

I think Vince didn't want to be liable for Kona Crush's neon outfits damaging people's TVs.

If that's the case, I wonder what HHH was worried about. WWE.com was hardly giving the sheets a run for their money.

This "worked shoot" phase at WWE.com is annoying.
