[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a match. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Managed to watch Punk-Lesnar unspoiled. Great match with the right outcome, seeing as Lesnar is probably off now until WM time.

Cena-Bryan was also awesome but I stumbled on the result when searching for it on Youtube. :lol:

Bryan. :(

I suppose the Orton cash-in had been teased for weeks anyway and Triple H's involvement made it the most likely outcome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HHH. GO AWAY!

[Marc Overmars]

:bow:

[Rors]

Did Cena ever take that one right in the mush or what?

Good stuff all round, I like that they teased the cash-in/turn we all saw weeks ago actually not happening. Orton/HHH in cahoots is the plothole of plotholes though - I guess attempts to murder wives/break into houses are all water under the bridge eh? Kayfabe :bow:

And Punk is da man.

[Cripps_orig]

Just read the results.

Sounds like an awesome event.

Punk and Lesnar :bow:

Cena and Bryan :bow:

Triple H and Orton :bow:

Del Rio and Christian :bow:

Even the pub team women's match sounded ok

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A bit like how Orton and Cena were able to put Orton's attempts to blow Cena up behind them...

[Cripps_orig]

WWE Title Match: John Cena © vs. Daniel Bryan w/Special Referee Triple H - Bryan with Triple H turning heel and Randy cashing in
World Heavyweight Title Match: Alberto del Rio © vs. Christian - Alberto del Rio
CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar - Brock
Ring of Fire Match: Kane vs. Bray Wyatt - Wyatt
Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow - Sandow
Dolph Ziggler and Kailtyn vs. Big E Langston and A.J. Lee - Dolph
Natalya vs. Brie Bella - Brie
Pre-Show US Title Match: Dean Ambrose © vs. Rob Van Dam - ambrose
6/8

I'd take that

[Rors]

A bit like how Orton and Cena were able to put Orton's attempts to blow Cena up behind them...

A pyromaniac one day, a thumbs-up 'fan favourite' the next...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We shouldn't expect continuity from them really given how hard it is for them to reference past events. It took them until way in to the Del Rio - Christian match to mention they had a feud beforehand...

[Rors]

Indeed. It's not even as if their last feud was with different character-alignment either (Heel Del Rio then, Heel Del Rio now). Creative team :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

And by that we mean: Stephanie and Vince.

[Rors]

:lol:

And by that we mean: Stephanie and Vince.

I've just thought. They are now going to be faces in this storyline aren't they? Great..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Until the shocking revelation they're all in it together...

[Marc Overmars]

How would Vince be a face if he was against Bryan being champion to begin with?

[Rors]

How would Vince be a face if he was against Bryan being champion to begin with?

They can play on the HHH/Vince tension leading up to it. I'd rather hope they don't of course, but you know what they're like.. :lol:

[Rors]

Until the shocking revelation they're all in it together...

Higher Power :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Higher Power :haha:

It's me Austin!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was me all along!

[Rors]

It was me all along!

Not an anti-climax at all :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

WWE is always better when the McMahons are involved

[Cripps_orig]

Read the raw results.

A bit shit.

Cena is out for 4-6 months. He's my tip to win the royal rumble.

Start of a new attitude era?

Bryan the new Austin? Shield have sided with Triple H and Orton backed by Vince and Stephanie.

[Rors]

"Four years ago I hit you with my finishing move unprompted, then kissed your lifeless body whilst wearing an evil grin"

"Ah come here and gissa hug you big lig yer!"

[Cripps_orig]

"Four years ago I hit you with my finishing move unprompted, then kissed your lifeless body whilst wearing an evil grin"

Yeah that bit made me think of what Orton did to her but that's WWE for you.

Best in the world at what they do

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Punk abusing the fatty in the front row. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Can the likes of Punk and Bryan step up as babyfaces seeing as their leader and the man who has carried them is out for a while?

[Rors]

Can the likes of Punk and Bryan step up as babyfaces seeing as their leader and the man who has carried them is out for a while?

Put it this way, the 4 to 6 months can't go slowly enough...

--

Can very much see a Punk/Bryan v HHH/Orton main event on a RAW or two soon, maybe even a PPV.

[Rors]

Punk abusing the fatty in the front row. :bow:

That's how it's done. If Cena had the gumption to do that to his haters rather than pretending every week he gets a pop greater than that the Sermon On The Mount received...

(It would mean each edition of RAW is about 8 weeks long though :lol: )

[Cripps_orig]

Think Cena is very harshly treated tbh.

He more than held his own v Bryan in terms of wrestling. Not as good obviously but he can wrestle.

They should turn him heel

In all fairness, Cena has been in a fair share of ****+ matches. It can be no coincidence though they have been in matches with ****+ opponents...

I reckon it's pointless now to turn him heel, as he'd probably be cheered. :lol:

Looking forward to seeing Punk and Bryan as the top 2 guys. Them 2 squaring off should be the WM30 main event IMO, they'd put on one of the best matches in history.

[Rors]

I reckon it's pointless now to turn him heel, as he'd probably be cheered. :lol:



I'm not so sure the 'smarks' would cheer him. They'd still think he sucks in the ring (there's a reason Khali is booed out of every building when he is on the heel side, and that is not down to him being an Imposing Monster). The kiddies would of course hate his guts. That said, I don't see it happening as Vince is terrified at the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% drop in merchandise net sales there would be...

He will be missed.

Great end to the show.

Punk and Heyman :bow:

Axel playing his part as well.

AJs pipe bomb :bow:

Rebel babyface destroying corporate champion's new car. That rings a bell.....

[Cripps_orig]

Start of the new attitude era tbh

[Rors]

http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/295708 Well well. What with this, and Warrior already confirmed for the new game, perhaps Cripps' Wrestlemania 30 dreams aren't quite so far-fetched after all. Sadly.

[Cripps_orig]

Hogan v Warrior part 2. 24 years in the making :bow:

Vince, make it happen

[Rors]

Just finished watching the 'The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior' documentary on YT. An hilarious watch.. What an absolute dingbat. The doc is often seen as a hatchet-job, but it seems pretty damn fair to me :lol: If you get a spare 90 mins, stick it on.

Still got tons of WWE DVDs to get through from my recent Silvervision sweep! Back to 'Smackdown 2009-2010' later I think.

[Rors]

Currently watching the Serena SES indoctrination/head-shaving. And doing the usual laugh I do at Hectoring Cult Heel Punk when I see this kind of thing now :lol:

[Rors]

According to the Mighty Wiki, Serena got the sack for "not living out her straight edge persona in public". Ah Vinny. Those 'living the gimmick' habits die hard after all huh? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

People are going to be very dissapointed when they find out Glenn Jacobs isn't a big, red monster.

I wonder if TL Hopper got the boot for not really helping unblock the bogs in Titan Towers..

Speaking of ridiculous gimmicks, Epico and Primo are being repackaged as Los Matadores. After all they're Mexican and everything.

'Real' sports have not been kind to him.

At first I thought it was Lex Luger. :lol:

[Rors]

Luger looks like Tony Benn these days :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Cody Rhodes the next big thing?

[Rors]

Could be in line for an upper midcard push I reckon.

And gee, that face turn sure worked out well for Ziggler didn't it? :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Cody is getting married which explains his time off for a bit.

Bryan getting his ass kicked 3 Raws in a row is getting boring. Faces need to retaliate.

JBL is awesome. Heel commentators :bow:

[Rors]

I still won't be satisfied until Lawler turns heel again :sulk:

[Rors]

Bryan standing tall (for a change) would suggest to me that he ain't winning at Night Of Champions. Indeed this one could go on for quite a while yet...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Edge. :bow:

Somebody fix his back. :(

Also, I wonder if they are going to curtail the Punk - Heyman feud sooner than expected and have him involved in the HHH is RAW storyline. Or they have Heyman join up with them. :coffee:

Goldust. :bow:

He's still got it.

Think the Punk-Heyman feud has run it's course now, not sure what else they can do once he's faced Axel and inevitably dished out a beating to Heyman.

[Cripps_orig]

Talk is he will play some part in the title storyline.

[Cripps_orig]

JR announces his retirement.

[Munchies]

Legend :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

JR. :bow:

What a man.

No one can sell a match like he did.

[Munchies]

Even survived Kane setting him on fire :bow:

Preferred Gorilla and then Vince but I guess JR was the voice of the WWE during its best era ever so deserves some praise.

[Rors]

Scroll down to 'notable supporters'. WTF??! :lol:

Jeff Hardy :bow:

Armageddon 2008? Watched that very event recently. HHH/Edge/Hardy a good conclusion and a decent moment of celebration (not that it took Jeff too long to fuck it up)...

A Jeff Hardy olive branch from WWE maybe? Don't do it Vinny!!

Usos.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah it was either the Players or the Usos for me.

Can't see this event being the best. Need Orton v Bryan to carry it

[Marc Overmars]

Bryan won. :unsure:

Although I read there was some controversy with a fast count from the ref, so maybe the decision will be reversed. This story is much better with Bryan chasing, so I think it's in their best interests to screw him again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah it was little bit fast. Most of the PPV was a bit shit really. Punk vs Ryback. :( Although with HIAC up very soon (though we have Battleground next :doh:) it should be resolved, if not then, maybe at Survivor Series.

[Rors]

This is all getting very confusing..! Starts with Bryan getting beaten down like he is nothing, Nigel Worthington gets fired, then at the conclusion of the show they re enact the ending to Wrestlemania X :wacko:

The Rock just posted this for his new Hercules film... :wacko:

[Marc Overmars]

Just watched the PPV, well the 3 biggest matches anyway.

Absolutely dreadful, was that really a PPV or just another episode of RAW?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Rock. :sick: Stop juicing man.

And yeah it was terrible. The Rhodes/Shield match was good though and Cesaro swining Khali around was fun but as I say, mostly crap.

Only three weeks until Hell In A Cell. :lol:

Cena :bow:

GOAT.

[Marc Overmars]

Wasn't he supposed to be out for like 6 months? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unless it's a massive swerve, then well this is what Cena does. He regenerates little bit quicker than expected.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well the best creative could come up with is...Cena and Orton as champions, again. :rolleyes:

[Rors]

Still not quite sure where they are planning on going with this... I didn't really fancy seeing the Jericho/Chyna IC angle dredged up, but they y'are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hogan might be coming back. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Survivor Series tonight. Only one traditional match. :rolleyes:

I'll stay up for the Punk/Bryan vs Wyatts match then go to bed I think.

[Rors]

There should always be at least two traditional matches. Grr.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or at the very least, a tournament of some kind. Might as well just call it 'Series' otherwise.

Isn't Survivor Series supposed to be one of the top PPV's?

Has a bit of a pub team feel about it now which is a shame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Used to be but I think even Money in the Bank has overtaken it now.

[Marc Overmars]

Just reading the results.

Unification match? It's about time IMHO, I don't really see the point of the WHC now the brand split has gone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking that way. Odd that they're teasing this early though, not sure when it'd be scheduled for.

I'd love to see a dusty finish and the winner of the Royal Rumble wins the Undisputed title tbf.

1992 Royal Rumble. :bow:

Can't believe they'd throw away a clear-decision Unification title match on a B-level PPV, surely!? Okay it would spike the buyrate for it, but even so

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I guess they might be thinking TLC - chance to put them in a ladder match at the same time.

[Marc Overmars]

Seem as though both titles will be on the line but no word of a unification. Maybe they'll save that for Wrestlemania.

Batista is coming back. Should make for an interesting Wrestlemania build up, always the best time of year tbh.

Batista the predictable winner of the Rumble?

Although it's interesting that Lesnar has seemingly made himself number one contender.

Wrestlemania season. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anyone but Cena.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WWE announed the WWE Network yesterday which will finally start sometime in February, in the US only sadly. Not for over here until much later in the year. :(

$10 a month apparently and you get all the PPVs in a year plus the most important part which is access to the library of all WWE and WCW PPVs from 1985. :wacko:

[Marc Overmars]

That's pretty good. A PPV alone over there costs like $40-$50 which I always thought was absurd.

Is this a TV channel or an online platform?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Online but across various platforms including PS3 and Xbox 360.

[Marc Overmars]

Royal Rumble tonight. :popcorn:

Going for a Batista win.

[GP]

Cena :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Punk is No.1 so hopefully he gets it. Then they can say two have done it and just ignore Benoit.

[Munchies]

What time will the rumble be at ?

Also, here's a pretty decent interview with CM Punk, released the other day, in his home :lol:

It's usually the last match so they can have the pointing to the WM sign.

I would say the Rumble match itself should be at half 2 but I am waking up at 2 to make sure. The PPV itself starts at 1am.

Haha same here man. Been a long time since I watched a WWE/wrestling event live.

I used to live very close to my cousins before, and they had all the channels, so I remember just crashing over at night and watching them.

My interest in WWE went down after 04/05 I guess, but I started watching TNA in 08 :lol: . Occasionally watching Wrestlemania matches over the years though.

[Marc Overmars]

I guess interest dropped for a lot of attitude era kids around that time.

From about 2006-2011 I stopped watching completely. The Rock coming back got my attention again though, he's gone now of course but I suppose getting the casual viewer back was one of the main things they hoped for in bringing him back.

[Munchies]

Yeah, The Rock has been my fave wrestler, I remember watching him training for Lesnar and thinking it was a massive deal back then, and when Lesnar beat him at Summerslam I was crushed (before I knew it was staged :lol:) but even so, then he left for the movies :( .

Might just give this one a rest tbf, cba staying up for it , will watch it in the morning through the usual avenues.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You know of any working streams Maccy?

FirstRow usually works for these events, if you don't plump for Wiziwig, of course.

[Munchies]

FirstRow usually works for these events, if you don't plump for Wiziwig, of course.

Yup, been using firstrow for UFC PPVs since 09 :lol: , never fail to work.

Ad-block and you're all set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WWE. :doh:

Crowd shitting on most of it. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

That was pretty funny. They couldn't give a fuck about Orton-Cena and certainly didn't like a certain someone waltzing back for a win.

Roman Reigns though. :bow:

If they're not careful Wrestlemania XXX will be panned by the crowd. Just give Bryan his moment FFS.

[Marc Overmars]

CM Punk has apparently quit. :unsure:

Allegedly unhappy with Batista winning the Rumble and not being in the main event at WM, where he was supposed to face Triple H.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hard situation to understand really. WWE unfollowed Punk on twitter which to me, seems a bit odd seeing as he still has six months left to run on that contract.

Clearly Punk won't be on TV for a while but I would be surprised if that was him done for good.

[Marc Overmars]

Reading reports on Twitter that Old Man Hogan is returning. :lol:

[Munchies]

Reading reports on Twitter that Old Man Hogan is returning. :lol:

:bow:

Confirmed, he's on this Monday night Raw

[GP]

:doh:

He's terrible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least he isn't supposed to be in a match. That'd be a new low.

Old Man Sting might be held off until after WM. :unsure:

Anyway, Elimination Chamber on tonight, SS1. It'll mostly be on fast forward I imagine. :lol:

[Munchies]

:lol: , TNA had him doing a little bit, looked damn awful !

I remember when the EC was first made, man the build up to it was amazing.

Also the WWE Network is releasing in US tomorrow, a free trial aswell which I'll see if I can get around :penguin:. Good idea, all PPVs/shows/previous back catalogue for $9.99 a month. Haven't watched WWE for a long time properly, but I'll go back to watching the attitude era straight away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think they're adding the back catalogue in slowly, probably the right idea, people won't give the rest of what's to offer a chance otherwise.

Also, EC: Mostly ok, Shield - Wyatts was fantastic. Batista - Del Rio was abysmal.

The EC match was alright, some great spots involving Cesaro but again Daniel Bryan losing quickly killed the crowd. Orton - Batista is going to be shat out the building if that's what they do at Wrestlemania.

Hogan as we know is going to be on RAW and 'Taker is also supposed to be on RAW tonight. Who will 'Taker face? Speculation it'd be Lesnar but there is concern his style could actually kill off Undertaker for real. :ninja:

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah Shield vs Wyatts was brilliant. Really impressed by both teams but in particular the Shield. Rollins is very Daniel Bryan like with his move set, Ambrose is a bit of a nutter and Reigns is just awesome.

Surely Bryan will have to be involved in the title match, there's no way they can get away with Orton-Batista.

[Marc Overmars]

Undertaker vs Lesnar it is. :popcorn:

Appears they may run with Orton-Batista. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't kill him Brock!

[Munchies]

They didn't seem to get along with each other outside WWE :


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVhO0M_QNE0

Bet Taker is putting extra intent on his moves :bow: :lol:

[Ernesto]

Really hope this isn't the end of the Shield after defeat at EC. I know tag teams don't last forever, and it's building up to in-fighting between Ambrose and Reigns, but if they can muster one last amazing match against The Wyatts at WM (and TLC it up for good measure) then I may just be tempted into purchasing the PPV...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

With Batista's promo on Smackdown it seems like they've saved face and turned him heel. Not that it matters a jot as to how many boos he would be getting anyway. That will surely mean somebody being inserted in to the Orton - Batista match or if not then Lesnar - Taker would be on last.

Also, RAW is in Chicago this week, with the prospect of no Punk. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Bryan will surely be involved and win, I'd put money on that. Don't think Taker-Lesnar should go on last unless the streak is going to end, which obviously won't be the case. I suppose it would be better than Orton-Batista getting booed out of the building though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd have thought that's the most likely scenario but I don't know, the resolution to this supposed endgame with Daniel Bryan never seems to arrive. If he is in the main event they will probably have him lose anyway. :lol:

[Munchies]

Just saw the annual Wrestlemania promos on sky.

They're giving Cena a break this year :haha: , who the hell are those 3 fatties ? First time I've seen them.

Can't believe it's so close, a year goes by so fast.

Tomorrow night :popcorn:

Who's going to watch it live on a stream?

The only WWE I've seen so far this year has been the Royal Rumble, hoping this is better.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm going to try and stay up to stream it but I'm seriously lacking in sleep this weekend, so we'll see.

Time for Daniel Bryan to save Wrestling tbf.

Same here, I'll see how it goes :lol:

And I'm not a fan of Daniel Bryan, he ripped off the 'Yes' stuff , he said he did himself , from a UFC fighter, and hardly gave any credit :


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjhKJMWDu0s

'YES! YES! YES!'

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stone Cold and The Rock are both in NOLA. :popcorn:

I haven't decided what to do yet but I know it won't involve staying up for it all. Maybe I'll wake up at 3am for the main event.

[Munchies]

I've decided to give it a rest, I'll either watch it on dailymotion or watch it in HD via d/l if my internet isn't going crappy.

[Marc Overmars]

Any decent stream links?

[Munchies]

Any decent stream links?

If the event starts at 12am, I'll probably catch it for a few hours.

I'll try posting any I find, but you can get the usual half decent half shit ones at http://www.firstrows.eu/boxing, click WM30 for the links.

Cesaro wins it

Cena's had a rest this year, never seen these fatties before

This Eminem promo is pretty good!

Feeling tired now :lol:

Will watch this Cena match then call it a night.

Wow.

Lesnar wins!!! OMG

That has to be Undertakers retirement.

Wow.


I literally said to my friend, before it started, that Lesnar had such good odds of placing a bet on winning, he was like 7/1 :lol:

Was thinking of putting a tenenr on it :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Enjoyed it overall, better than last years.


-Austin and The Rock together again. :bow:
Even though the promo wasn't that great I suppose they were only there for nostalgic reasons anyway.
Old Man Hogan messing up his lines. :doh:

-Disappointed they put the Shield in a squash match. They're better than that and should have had more time (and better opponents really) to show off their ability.

-Cesaro with his Hogan/Andre the Giant moment. :bow:

-Cena vs Wyatt was really good. Shame Super Cena turned up again though, as the crowd were really into Bray. He's awesome.

-Why Lesnar of all people to end the streak? The match wasn't even that great. As far as pure WTF OMG moments go though, it doesn't really get better than that. So glad I watched that live, would have been gutted if I found out via a spoiler today. Pure emotion.

-Bryan. :bow:
Hope he has a good run with the belt.

[Rors]

Sounds like a good WM from top-to-tail.

Terry spent the last four years trying to crush WWE (and of course failed hilariously miserably). Now he can't even be bothered to know the name of the arena he is I. Just piss off.

Bet Piper loved shaking Mr T's hand....


Go away now Cena. You're actually a good bloke, but the way you are being booked(not your fault of course) is killing any potential top heel right out of the gate...


Wrestling Observer suggest that UT himself wanted Lesnar to end the streak. Clean too. Would not have been my choice, to say the very least. I'm sure it will really help the mood of one Phil 'CM Punk' Brookes too :lol: As I have only read about it, I still can't quite believe that it has happened!

Hope Bryan carries it a long way, I fear though now he has his WM moment in the books he'll be kicked off the pedestal once again very very soon

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hogan. :haha:

One job to do and he couldn't get the stadium name right.

Can't believe The Streak is over. Taker. :(

Lots of rumours about Sting being on RAW tonight. Or at least there was last week anyway.

[Rors]

Yep the Sting rumours are all over the manor right now. And the day after WM is usually the event for big debuts..... I still can't quite see it myself. For the record, he is six years older than Callaway too!!

Stick to the Low ship, that's my advice......

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time has not been kind to 'Taker. Or maybe it's the suicide dives for somebody approach 7 foot that had something to do with it. Or the landing at WM25. :lol:

Also, well done to Daniel Bryan. I fear they'll feed him to Lesnar though.

[Munchies]

Sting returning ?
Been watching him in TNA all these years, but I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

I guess Sting v Taker next year at WM

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It wouldn't be a return, he has never been in the WWE before. Worth it for the novelty value.

[Munchies]

It wouldn't be a return, he has never been in the WWE before. Worth it for the novelty value.

Ah it felt like it , especially with the feud with Hogan :lol:

I remember playing with WWF/WCW figurines, and my cousin had one of him with the bat. Legend :bow:

[Rors]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afr0xwde0Aw

Oh my good gawd :haha:

[Munchies]

:lol:

Remember when there were loads of fake Stings with masks ? Then the real one showed up, remember seeing it on youtube a while back.

Also, look at Sting v Jeff Hardy a few years back, Jeff turned up completely pissed :haha:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiA65OUNpIM

PPV match ending in 2 mins, and Bischoff coming out, telling Sting that Jeff is high as fuck :haha:

[Rors]

Jeff joined TNA because "the schedule is compatible with my lifestyle". He wasn't joking.....

[Rors]

Blimey. http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/318932

Maybe they did call an audible and have Lesnar go over then? I don't think we've heard the last of this one.

On another note, if I was in an ambulance with a suspected concussion, the last thing I would want is to be sharing the back of the thing with Vinny :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heyman. :bow:

It was certainly the weakest Undertaker performance in recent memory, he just looked so old and beat up. Lesnar wasn't the right opponent for him.

[Rors]

There's an interesting suggestion in the comments there, reckoning that the original finish was Brock to win with the Tombstone, but then switched to an F5 as UT would be more protected by it physically. Conjecture of course, but I think that has legs.

Although I am still not 100% convinced the planned result was a Brock win...(that said I don't believe he "went into business for himself" or any nonsense like that)

[Rors]

The Ultimate Warrior has died. Fucking hell. :rose:

He was only on RAW on Monday cutting a promo.

[Munchies]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR08M6EUd0g

This is what he said:

Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I just thought it was his usual mystical phrasing but seems like quite a harbinger really.

RIP. :(

[Rors]

Especially when you consider he had just started an ambassadorial role/Legends Contract that would have meant him showing up fairly regularly, that promo was incredibly final...

Whilst it looks like a sudden heart attack, I rather suspect he knew he was unwell, and as pushed for all for HOF/RAW so he could finally bury the hatchets and mend fences when he had the chance.

[Munchies]

This vid doesn't have anything to do with Ultimate Warrior, but wow:
