My favorite part of the book is that he gives a lot of advice/hints on how they created some of the bigger WCW storylines. There are a lot of aspects of that book that are applicable to industries that have nothing to do with wrestling ... basically, any industry involving creativity has some application of what he says in the book. And that was very, very cool to me.

Does he talk at all about the Bret Hart situation? I know that Bret has always claimed that Bischoff never really figured out how to use a character such as the Hitman.

Eve? Heel? Hotter? That post is worthless without pics.

here ya go

Pretty predictable ending to the main event there.

so now i'm guessing, laurinaitis hires big show back after knocking cena out. and all to change him to a heel?

Yep. Thought of that when he got fired on Monday because it wasn't really out there that Show wanted time off, so I assumed he'd be back and help Big Johnny tonight.

why the change though? he was actually a fairly liked character by the fans as a face. i just dont get that decision....

Yeah I don't know either. Except he's much more of an effective wrestler as a heel though.

Damn, that is wrong in every right way.

[baseballplyrmvp]

whoa whoa whoa....hold the phone! laurinaitis re-hired big show on saturday? that would mean that big show, who would have been a member of the roster, interfered with the match on sunday, and should be fired again.

[baseballplyrmvp]

santino cracks me up. lol

Interesting.

- Alex Shelley, whose contract with TNA Wrestling is set to expire, is reportedly jumping ship to WWE. This is according to former WCW broadcaster Mark Madden. He wrote on Twitter:

"Good luck to Alex Shelley, WWE-bound. A real talent. Let's c if he's used rite. Shame 2c MCMGs break up. Best tag team in U.S."

Also Dean Ambrose is working dark matches now for Raw and Smackdown, should be on TV soon I hope.

[baseballplyrmvp]

read a rumor a couple of days ago that melina and john morrison might be tna bound.....

i hope its true....imagine the knockouts division then.

[JBHuskers]

Actually, I read when Morrison left that he was quoted as saying he is loyal to the WWE and the door is open for him to return there when he wants, and rumors are that it may be soon.

[DariusLock]

WWE won't give Morrison a good push, he'd be champ in TNA.

Alex Shelley is the shit but WWE will fumble that one too prob.

Yeah all of those guys are awesome.

Mini Goldberg? Are you talking about Ryback?

I actually kinda like the Ryback gimmick, though it's very similar to Goldberg, the crowd is usually dead for him. Probably because it's a squash match.

[JBHuskers]

My favorite right now and has been for years now is Jericho. Punk and Daniel Bryan are also way up there. And once Dean Ambrose debuts....if Jericho leaves again, Dean will be my favorite. That dude is the real deal.

[DariusLock]

Lol he chokes on the pyros coming out.

On this day in history - Sunday May 23, 1999 - The crowd inside the Kemper Arena fell silent on what turned out to be the saddest day in professional wrestling as an unfortunate accident took the life of Owen Hart. Owen was set to face off against The Godfather (Charles Wright) in a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Owen was set to be lowered from the ceiling of The Kemper Arena into the ring in superhero-like fashion. However, something went terribly wrong and rather than being lowered, Owen 78 feet straight down hitting chest first onto the top rope about a foot from the nearest turnbuckle throwing him into the ring.

Viewers at home did not witness the fall as at the moment the accident occured a pre-recorded vignette was shown. EMT's worked on Owen while commentator Jim Ross repeatedly told viewers watching the pay per view that this was not an angle and was not part of any storyline but a very unfortunate accident. Owen was transported to Truman Medical Centre where several attempts were made to revive him until he died from his injuries. Some believe Owen died in the ring. The cause of death was later revealed to have been internal bleeding from blunt chest traum. Owen Hart was 34 years old. 13 years have passed since that fateful night. Owen Hart may be gone, but will most certainly not be forgotten. May you rest in peace.
