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

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.Quote:

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

:D 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.Quote:

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

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