rest in peace to the American Dream Dusty Rhodes



.Ric Flair photobombed the nba tv crew while they were filming and then straight up crashed the set......on air live....before game 4 in Cleveland




WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ya gotta love Naitch!

I'll look into it. Thanks

RAW has really improved lately, thanks in large part to the influx of quality divas and Cena's US Open Challenge. I never thought Cena would be a consistent positive but he has proven me wrong.

I'm not sure how I feel about SummerSlam being a 4-hour show. I think it's COMPLETELY lame The Undertaker is going to fight Brock Lesnar. You know Undertaker's going to get his "revenge" and win. I just wish he'd retire already.

Tough Enough is an absolute joke! Nothing against ZZ, but that kid should have been gone WEEKS ago. I can't believe Patrick and Mada got voted off.

This Hulk Hogan thing looks ugly. WWE dropped him off of the face of the earth.

Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper dead at 61.

Man...this kills me. RIP Hot-Rod.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE NEWS WHEN I READ IT.

One of the best Raw's in awhile. Surprise appearances from Ric Flair, Sting, and the Dudley Boyz are back! Awesome!! I just hope the WWE doesn't utilize them to "get over" today's tag teams (which I know they're going to do). Right now I think they're probably the best team in the division and should be champs at some point soon!

I'm not big on the prospects of a Rollins-Sting PPV title match. Beyond that (and the divas repitiveness), very strong RAW. Love the New Day as tag champs with the Dudleys now in hot pursuit. And the new blacksheep Wyatt has scary potential.

I'm a little surprised too Sting is going to challenge Rollins for the title. I don't see Sting get a running with the strap since his schedule seems to be even more limited than Brock's. I'm sure this is just a way to get Rollings over more by beating Sting.

I was sad to see the Prime Time Players lose the titles at SummerSlam, but if the Dudley's can beat the New Day for them, all's forgiven.

How long until this new blacksheep Wyatt goes the way of Rusev? Undefeatable/unstoppable for a time and then just another mid-card guy.

And, I knew the Undertaker was going to win on Sunday (although I wish he wouldn't) but that ending was terrible! Complete spit in the face of the fans and a horrible way to end the PPV! Overall, as much as they hyped the PPV, I felt it didn't deliver.

When are they going to start pushing Cesaro more!? That guy needs a strap around his waist. I'm thinking the Intercontinental Title. I also wish they'd go back to the Bad News Barrett gimmick and keep him a contender for the IC belt.

They are relying on part timers and former stars hoping they would get the ratings up instead of trying to get them up with good booking and quality storylines. That's why WWE sucks now.

It also sucks because the WWE roster has never been the same as the attitude era. The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, HHH, etc. Plus the Diva's like Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Stacey Keibler, Lita, etc. Not to mention the tag team division with the likes of The Dudley Boyz (SO glad they're back), The Hardyz, Edge & Christian, etc.

Nowadays you've got John Cena (whom I'm SICK of seeing), Randy Orton (never been a big fan of him), Sheamus, etc. Seth Rollins isn't bad but honestly, my favorite wrestler right now is Brock Lesnar, which is sad since he's a part-time wrestler. 2nd favorite wrestler at this point: either Cesaro who they refuse to push or Samoa Joe who was on NXT, what, once!?

And the Diva's, they're nothing compared to what the division once was. Granted, I'm happy to see them actually wrestle more and I'm a fan of the Diva's revolution, but overall, nothing special (I am a Bellas fan by the way).

What is hurting WWE is weak storylines, too many title changes (it doesn't seem to mean anything anymore since it changes so often), and a weak roster. Oh how I wish we could have the glory days of wrestling back (1996-2000).

I haven't watched the WWE in so long I don't know who's still in it. So The Undertaker is still wrestling? I thought he'd retire by now. Is Kane still wrestling?

The Undertaker only wrestles WrestleMania once a year now. He wrestled SummerSlam but it was his first match outside of a WrestleMania since 2010.

Kane doesn't wrestle as much anymore. He's part of "The Authority" now with HHH and Stephanie McMahon. But he's been off TV for quite a while now.

It's terrible compared to attitude era, everything was going downhill before the invasion storyline , and it's sicking how bad they used all those guys from WCW & ECW,

Also should have been undertaker vs sting at WM

Don't tell me Kane wears a business suit

Oh yeah Mig. Business suit, no mask. Corporate Kane

Older wrestling fans might remember Jimmy Superfly Snuka.

He had two claims to fame.

One was he would stand on the top rope jump off and head butt a down opponent.

I never saw any other wrestler do that before.

Next was he was arrested when they found his girl friend dead in 1983. Well according to my wife he was arrested and charged with her murder today

No body no murder.

American Dream dead, Hulk Hogan exposed as racist, Rowdy Roddy dead, Superfly charged in a murder from 1983?

This is all within 3 months.

I always thought Superfly had the wrong stage name his character/finishing move seemed to have been based on Cyrus from the film,The Warriors. He even slightly resembled the actor.

Vince McMahon could, and should, be charged as an accessory.

This was before Hogan. He was gonna build the company around Snuka. He coached Snuka and paid off prosecutors to protect his investment.

Vince has a lot of blood on his hands.

The abuse of steroids has been encouraged and it has destroyed lives. The intense work schedule has led to chronic pain and resultant misuse of painkillers for umpteen wrestlers. Look at what it did to Kurt Angle for example. The guy is completely broken down physically and mentally.

The wrestlers are "independent contractors". They are treated like cattle if they aren't John Cena or Undertaker.

@Moe,

I never thought about what kind of influence that Vince would have, but you're right.

I figured maybe a plea deal to a lesser charge, but no charges filed.....at the time?...wow

When I grew up, these wrestlers were larger than life, like super heroes...too bad a lot of them were lowlife scum ...F Jimmy Snuka for beating a woman and then leaving her to die like that.

John Cena Prank Call

Glad to see that Kane is back to being Kane.

Seth Rollins suffered major injury in Dublin last night. Tears to the ACL and MCL plus other injuries. WWE has already vacated the title.

I heard. Unfortunately, no matter who's in the tournament, I'm sure Reigns is going to win the title. I'm just not sold on Reigns. I don't hate him, but I'm not sold on him yet.

I remember WWE did a Survivor Series tournament for the title years ago where The Rock turned heel upon winning it. Awesome moment!

ISIS are planning an attack on Survivor Series according to Anonymous.

flashback of the ......winner and New Potus

Yes, POTUS is in the WWE Hall of Fame. Not the first office holder though; that would be onetime Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura.

You're right, Blonde.
Never liked Ventura as a wrestler. I remember when he was tag team partners with Adrian Adonis.
He was pretty good as an announcer/commentator though.


When I went back and was able to check out wrestling history, I saw that both he and Hulk Hogan were clones of Superstar Billy Graham. I started watching wrestling in the Bob Backlund era so I didn't see that they were clones.

Ivan Koloff & George "The Animal" Steele both passed away this week.
