MEGABUCKS

Not a wrestler but I always felt Jim Ross when he debuted in WWF seemed out of place. For some reason I used to hate JR during 1993. I didn't like him coming in and taking over Wrestling Challenge and some of the the ppv's. I always wanted Vince or Monsoon to commentate at Wrestlemania 9. He just didnt fit to me. He grew on me abit a few years down the line around 1995 though

I came in to say Bulldog and Anvil in WCW too in 98. I just didnt get that no one gave a shit as they were a focal point on Raw just few months before. I wonder if both stayed in WWF how the landscape would have been like? Owen may have still been alive and Bret would have been back sooner than later. Davey may have even still been alive today.

Can't wait when Waldo's theme hits the PC "my money doesn't jiggle jiggle, it folds". Although I can see Virgil doing a run in as Goldberg ignored him backstage where Macho was busy.

WWE Network is free for a temporary time

Just watched some AEW clips from last night. The atmosphere was night and day compared to WWE's empty arena shows. WWE can learn from AEW with the presentation for these shows.

The reason they are doing these Raw's and Smackdowns in an empty performance centre and not just airing 'highlight shows' is to condition us to watch Wrestlemania like this and not be too surprised or critic it that much as it will be less of a shock. We would have 3 weeks of empty Performance Centre shows so by the time its Wrestlemania so we wont find it too odd to watch although obviously it will be. WWE will not change how they produce the matches. They will go exactly how they were meant to. Vince just wants this disaster to be over with and collect the cash from sponsors. They will try spin it as if they are heroes to never cancel anything when in reality they would have if there arses were covered.

There are rumours that WWE are bluffing with it being held at the Performance Centre hoping Orlando would shut it down so they can claim back their cost. And are looking to postpone it to June at MSG. I've just read this so could be all bullshit.

Trump said they will review UK flights. I think UK will also be banned to USA soon

Tampa officials say they aren't cancelling it yet, but are asking people to "strongly consider postponing those gatherings or scaling them back considerably" and that they'll review the situation next week. WWE says it's planning on running the show but has a backup plan in case the city cancel it.

Basically it's getting cancelled, but neither side wants to be the one that makes the decision.

How can they have a back up plan just days before the event? It's going to effect alot of people with travel and cost no matter if they change the location. And even then who's to say the back up plan won't get shut down? They should just postpone the event.

I love how they've decided marrying into the Hart family is classed as a Career Achievement.

Plus he divorced Diana

Trump has banned all flights from Europe to USA for 30 days from this Friday with the exception of the UK. So I assume anyone from Europe planning on going Wrestlemania (if it doesn't get cancelled) can catch a flight to the UK and fly to Tampa

The NBA has suspended the rest of the season until further notice. Maybe the XFL, WWE and other leagues will have to follow?

Would be crazy to see Wrestlemania being cancelled

I've not watched this week yet but I seen a YouTube clip of the nWo. This rewriting of history that Waltman was/is a big part of the group is a nonsense. 

Yeah. It should either be just Hogan, Hall and Nash or the entire nWo...  and they also like to re-write history on who carried the bags. If anyone carried Razor and Deisel's bags it was Triple H

I dont really watch much AEW, maybe as background noise when it's on but WOW Jake the Snake is still brilliant. I checked out the video on youtube and he still has that aura about him. Plus his voice seems alot better. I think doing his Unspoken word tour the past 3 years has given him alot of practice. He is a massive guy, back in the day everyone was huge so you just didnt notice it much. AEW know how to utilize legends and have them part of the show. There are no full time legends in WWE at all

The evil Mr. Fuji killed Adnan's dog, cooked it and fed it to Adnan

Dink, Pink and Wink

Love Goldberg! Him being in a championship match at Wrestlemania will definitely get more buys/subscriptions for wrestlemania. The Fiend was eventually going to get killed off anyway might aswell be by big Bill

Danny Deals doing Momma Storm that first week was fine. Second week not so much. I'm glad his "Guy" is a serious beefy wrestler who has beef with Tim Storm rather than some comedy act where I thought this was going

Jacqueline nipple flashing at Fully Loaded 98

Beverley Brothers

Ricky Starks reminds me of a very young Rock when he was Flex Kavana from all the memphis footage I've seen.

British Bulldog returning in 99 and defeating Big Boss Man for the hardcore belt

That is mad, I remember when Rock had his first child in 2001 like it was yesterday. Time goes so fast.

I hate the McMahon Helmsley era, which was pretty much 2000 wasn't it?

1997 shits on 2000 in my book.

I agree. For me late 1996 - March 1999 was the greatest era after the golden late 80s/early 90s. 97 and 98 was so good
