sek69 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 WMania plans remain Orton/Angle Edge/Foley Vince/Shawn Cena/HHH Taker/Henry Hogan, Austin, Rock and Bret are all still no’s with Hogan being the only likely change Dave speculates that SNME will see Cena vs Edge blowoff and Flair vs Shelton (not confirmed by anyone) WWE contacted baseball’s AJ Pierzynski for an angle for WMania, He turned them down (Dave says it was most likely a FU to TNA since AJ had done a TNA PPV before) Dave was told by WWE employee that’s management lost a lot of wrestlers respect with the Eddy is in Hell storyline. Chavo Gurrero put his head in his hands during the taping of the segment. Rey’s Rumble win was the longest one man, one match performance since Pedro and Bruno fought to a 65 min draw in 1972 Tatanka is 44 years old. (Warlord was contacted at 46, and Greg Valentine is in his 50’s) Vis squshing Matt Hardy in the royal rumble was a continuation of his punishment Dave thinks Angle/Henry was Kurt’s worst match ever and said the live fans were leaving SD! Ratings went up 400,000 for Boogey man’s segment recently, but Rey is still by and large the most consistent draw Sandman was a cornerman in Mexico recently, during a break he and a bunch of kids were horsing around in the ring. Sandman was drinking heavily throughout. Juvi gave a Mexican interview (in a suit) and said he was going into the Bird food business. He also said he was receiving offers from AAA, CMLL, TNA, and NOAH Emory Hale was Hogan’s hand picked #1 Heel for the XWF, before Hogan backed out Christian and Jericho both got roles in the movie “Shoot’em up” Mike Goldburg, Christy Hemme and Dennis Rodman all participated at the Lingerie Bowl PPV Nikoli Volkoff is now a vegetarian and is considering a run at local politics in Baltimore Wesley Snipes officially pulled out of doing any MMA bouts Shawn Micheals asked to be removed as a full timer after WMania. He will come in for big shots ala Hogan. Micheals was frustrated by the lack of promotion for his book as well Angle reinjured his neck vs Micheals on jan 16th. Eddy will be getting the HOF nod this year Ashley and Matt hardy are broken up Angel Williams blew out her knee WWE will soon have a Fidel Castro Parody and a “tag team doing a modern day Bushwackers gimmick” Johnny Ace used Eddy Gurrero’s funeral as a recruiting center and that how Charlie Haas got resigned. Ace’s actions annoyed a lot of people. Haas wasn’t the only one either… In the new RAW magazine, RVD said he has bumps on his head from hitting the glass ceiling so often. He puts over being held back due to Backstage politics. Wow, nice to see WWE staying current with a Castro parody. That's cutting edge social commentary. I'm guessing the Bushwhackers 2006 team would be the Highlanders in OVW. All reports seem to say they suck so at least they won't be killing any potential stars with that one. HBK going to special attraction status seems to suggest Big Dave was right when he thought Shawn was hiding an injury. What more can be said about Johnny Ace treating Eddie's funeral as a networking opportunity? Stay classy, WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack D. Ripper Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Nikoli Volkoff is now a vegetarian and is considering a run at local politics in Baltimorethat's so random, but i'd vote for brother nikoli Wesley Snipes officially pulled out of doing any MMA boutsbeing Blade must've gone to his head, if he's talking about doing mma. i'd watch Wesley Snipes vs. Chuck Liddell or someone...can you say Bart Gunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 apparently the worker who will be playing the Castro gimmick (Osama) is a great talker but lousy in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm trying to wrap my head around how skull-crushingly boring a 65 minute Bruno vs Pedro match must have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Famous Mortimer Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't Ric go longer than an hour in the 1992 Rumble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I think Bob Backlund lasted over an hour in the 93 match, he was #2 and the last guy eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHawk Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Flair went 1:00:18 (entered at 1:44, the match went 1:02:02) in 1992. Backlund went 1:01:14 in 1993. Benoit went 1:01:48 (i think) in 2004. And Rey went 1:02:15 this year. 34 years since someone topped 62 minutes? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Next year the entire Rumble PPV will be HHH making snow angels in the ring so he can be the first guy to go over 2 hours in a WWE ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I don't know if Backlund's really counts because he spent most of the match out on the floor after the Bezerker attacked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dangerous A Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Actually, if you watched this year's Rumble, you'll notice HHH and even Rey spend a significant amount of time on their backs selling and not doing much of anything for long stretches of time. The astounding thing about Flair's performance in 92 was he was working damn near the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alfdogg Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 My VCR must be fucked or something...I timed it and got 62 for HHH and 64 for Rey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
