EyeballKid: FirstNationalBastard: Obviously, they need Orton and Cena to be unbeatable champions again.

Sorry, the answer we were looking for is "more time for HHH to talk." *

After he breaks the streak, and remains in a corporate position, he's taking it all...

Ed Becker: BTW, Praise Cheesus, I appreciate your posts and nearly crop-dusted the room reading your story about Pat after Mexican lunch.

Man, then you'll love the tale of the time Ric Flair did a two week guest appearance in our territory. He whined and moaned when we explained to him our territory was so small that he was not getting ferried from show to show on a private jet, as the longest drive between venues was 2 hours. Instead, he was allowed a car and driver - old Roy rented my mom's Cadillac Fleetwood for two weeks from her and hired my brother to drive it to get him around the territory. The only time he got on a private plane during that time was to and from Los Angeles - he flew commercial from North Carolina to Los Angeles, then flew from Los Angeles to Sacramento on a private jet I begged use of from my adopted grandpa.

The funniest part - Ric and my brother were in attendance at the TV taping the night before his run with our company started. They were sitting off camera, next to the promoter as I ran around making sure the guys were ready and aware of what order they were going on in. Apparently Ric commented to Roy that he was going to "get him some" of me before his run was over, within earshot of my brother. After the taping, my brother mentioned this to Pat. This was one of the weeks where we were in Sacramento for two days - taping on Thursday with a Friday night at the Memorial Auditorium, so the usual ritual after taping was dinner at a local coffee shop that held a private room open for the crew. I rode over to the coffee shop with the boss and when my brother arrived, Pat got out of the back of the Cadillac and Ric was nowhere to be seen.

We thought maybe they had dropped him at the hotel.

We thought wrong.

My brother was about halfway from the car to the restaurant when he turned and trotted back to the car. He put the key in the trunk lock, opened it and up popped Ric. Pat explained, once we were all seated, that my brother had mentioned Ric's ungentlemanly intentions towards me, so he stuffed him in the trunk at the studio. He then reminded Ric that if he continued on that train of thought, he might not make it out of the trunk the next time.

jj325: Came in here for lulz and found out a lot of folks take this stuff seriously. I had no idea. Not judging--to each his own. But backing out slowly









Wicked serious.

whizbangthedirtfarmer: rudemix: It's a generational transition thing. Happens every 8-10 years I bet. An older group of fans leave as they develop different tastes. A group of younger people than begin to grow into bigger fans when they realize it isn't just a bunch of herculean men yelling at each other, but controlled homo-erotic soap opera at it's finest.

I was reading a book the other day that talk about the "homosocietal" implications of a frat house--a place where you could be exclusively in the company of men, talk about men, and have a cadre of affectionate "brothers" without ever having to question your sexuality. And then I think about all of the times I heard of frat houses having "wrestling nights" and putting on WWE or WCW on the big screen, well, I think that says a lot.

So you spend a lot of time thinking about latent homosexuality do you?

The absence of a certain funkosauras has hurt ratings.

Ah, another article from the Bleacher Report ):/

DNRTFA Summary of article about WWE ratings on the Bleacher Report by their staff 5th grader:

"I like wrestling. Some people don't like wrestling, but i like wrestling. Ratings were ok for wrestling. Sometimes more people watched than other times. Maybe it was because so many people watched the Super Bowl. The end."
