    Is this right, Randy Savage is just now geting into the WWE HoF? That seems wrong.

    The Macho Man and WWE had a rather public and ugly falling out when Savage left. Also the Poffo family (Randy's mother and brother) owned the rights to a lot of his pre-WWF matches so that had to get squared away. There was a lot of bad feelings between the 2 parties.
    Plus there has been the rumor that Macho Man and Stephanie Mac had a fling. Take that for what it is worth, but it has been out there for a while.
    Plus supposedly Vince was mad when Randy jumped ship to WCW and took the big Slim Jim deal with him.

    Loved Raw this week. But that was because 3 indy guys I know made the show. Ambrose's shrink was LA/TX indy guy Mike Dell. And then the Acension beat up this tiny Asian guy. That was Bu KU Dao who was under a WWE developmental deal last year. Then got cut when they did a cost cutting move. His partner for the tag match,who never got in the ring,was Carlos Socorro. They used to team as Juan Direction.

    Yeah. There were a lot of issues in this, the last of which was that Randy had told his brother that he wanted the whole family to go in with him, and that was a hang up. Lanny gave an interview yesterday that he "gave in" this year in order to give the fans what they want.

    That was a great go home show for the Rumble....Except for the fact that the Rumble is on the 25.

    Yeah, I read that. Nice gesture but was it a realistic possiblility for the whole family to get inducted? I'm familiar with Lanny but barely remember Angelo.

    Any hall of fame that has Koko B Ware and James Dudley can let anyone in.

    Still, I can see where WWE wanted Randy to be the headliner to drive ticket sales.

    Longtime glaring omission from the "celebrity wing" of the WWE HOF: Cyndi Lauper.

    She was hugely involved when Wendi Richter was women's champ, played on and helped produce The Wrestling Album (under the alias "Mona Flambe"), put Captain Lou and several other WWF wrestlers in her videos (the video for "The Goonies R Good Enough" has more wrestlers than Goonies in it!), and pretty much kicked off the whole Rock & Wrestling Connection in the 80s.

    Also, you just know her speech would be awesome.

    (Cesaro & Tyson Kidd)

    AWA World Heavyweight Title Tournament Final Match

    Triple H vs @WetRats

    I fear that would look something like this...

    BTW: Last thread I ever expected to participate in...

    No match for me defending the Hardcore 24/7 title? Or Taz's FTW title?

    I have them on the DVR. I hear TNA is good except for some minor stuff, and the NJPW is GREAT, so I look forward to a lot of wrestling this weekend. May even goo to see the Steel Domain TV taping if the weather doesn't suck.

    I'm saving that for the Bottom of the Barrel show next month being held live from The World (formerly WWF New York).

    By the way, what do you think your co-host Joe's reaction is going to be to the Corporate Crossover Team of Deathmate & Starblast?

    The Results are right here.

    Also, at this week's MACtion Zone tapings @SolitaireRose‌ pinned Cesaro in a 6-Man Battle Royal to win the WWE Internet Title...Sadly; at the celebration afterwards, The Man the call James Spader attacked @SolitaireRose‌ destroying the line of specialty designer pies that Christina Hendricks created.

    Seems like Havok AKA Jessicka Havok is done with TNA. She just worked the newest SHINE iPPV in Florida. Maybe with Awesome Kong back Dixie figured they didn't need another big good lady wrestler. Gotta keep Velvet Sky around for some reason that no one understands.

    The Royal Rumble was a poor effort from the WWE. The Lesner/Cena/Rollins match was good but the Rumble match itself was meh at best.

    Well...no, they don't.

    And I like Velvet. Not only is she easy on the eyes, but she works well, and can be a heel or face. Too bad that's she's too old for Vince to hire.

    My big issue with Velvet is she hasn't improved much since she started back years ago. And back then she was horrible. With the right opponent she can be carried to an OK match. But she really brings nothing to the ring. Plus with her having been around so long I bet she gets a bigger contract than most of the other Knockouts.

    You didn't watch last week's show did you.

    SPOILER ALERT! She's not getting paid any more by Dixie. I was trying to be subtle there...

    I am about 3 weeks behind on LU,TNA and NJPW on Axcess. Keep hearing she was brought back to please Bubba Ray Dudley. Who she is supposedly dating. Who knows. I just miss the Knockouts when they had mostly workers and a few pieces of eye candy.
