When you said old school, I thought you mean the spikey blond hair and colored face paint

**JeffHCross** · 02-25-2011, 06:11 PM

That's what I thought too. I'd be more surprised by that.

Some great tweets in response to the complete ripoff video TNA made as their "shocking" announcement at the end of this week's Impact

It is incredibly disappointing to me that RoH didn't even get a chance with a TV deal back when they had amazing wrestlers (CM Punk, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Christopher Daniels, all on the same roster, *sigh*), yet TNA has had one practically the whole time they've been in this horrible rehash spiral.

Side note: That 3-3-11 promo is truly sad.

A great add to the WWE roster, Mistico who will be known as Sin Caras in WWE

**JeffHCross** · 02-25-2011, 07:59 PM

I'm genuinely surprised that WWE would sign any masked wrestlers outside of Mysterio, but not so surprised that they signed someone who's considered a "top star" at another promotion. They seem to like grabbing the top guys of other promotions, regardless of whether they need them.

Well Rey is a walking injury.

**JeffHCross** · 02-25-2011, 08:25 PM

True, but I'm more speaking the point that I haven't previously thought WWE thought very highly of masked wrestlers (Lucha type, not Kane type).

Have you seen the cash Rey has brought to the company?

Actually, no. But that does make sense.

:: shrug :: I'm just saying that, historically, I haven't thought that WWE management thought very highly of Mexican wrestlers, their heritage, or their style. Maybe with Rey, Del Rio, and now Mistico, that's changing? Or they're just picking guys that they can "convert" to their style.

He doesn't have enough hair to do that anymore. The jacket he wore was old school. Mixing the old and current look isn't a good idea IMO.

I could kick Sting in the ass for not showing up on Raw Monday night. I had my hopes way up for a Sting vs Taker match at WM 27. HHH vs Taker doesn't interest me one bit. Anyone remember their snoozefest match at WM 17? B-O-R-I-N-G!

It's quite the sum. That's why he's never been a bad guy.

I was glad for it for two reasons. One, that means I won't be tempted to by WM. If it had been Sting/Taker, they could have practically guaranteed a purchase from me. Two, that's about the only match they could setup for Taker at WM with no build. And less than a month isn't time for anything but shit build.

I can imagine. All those masks the kids wear is probably a significant sum, for example. I also think Rey might be mentally against being a heel though. As far as I can remember, he's never been a heel in any of the promotions he's been in ... in America, at least.

There's actually over 5 weeks left til WM, plenty of time to build, sounds like HBK will be the special ref from what I've read.

Well, it's plenty of time to build with someone like HHH that's already established. 5 weeks would have been insufficient to build someone new to WWE or not in the WWE main event. I guess that's what I really meant.

Hell, with HHH and UT, just the stare down (which I have named Longest-WWE-Segment-With-No-Words-In-History) was enough to build the match, lol.

**SmoothPancakes** · 02-26-2011, 04:43 PM

Damn, after watching the stare down on youtube, as well as after watching those videos from the Attitude era on the previous page, I might just have to start watching wrestling again, for the first time in years upon years, just see what they do to further build HHH-UT in the coming weeks.

Deflection for a HoF nominee or sour grapes?

- Bill Goldberg tweeted the following over the weekend in response to fans asking him whether he'll be a part of WrestleMania 27:

"No WWE plans on the horizon.....don't believe rumors. Is what it is."

**JBHuskers** · 02-28-2011, 12:17 PM

Gotta love this brewing social media feud between the Rock and Cena:

**JBHuskers** · 02-28-2011, 12:22 PM

Okay ABC, you might have finally sucked me into Dancing With The Stars with Chris Jericho as one of the participants LOL
