    Overall it's working pretty good. There are a few PPV's that froze right as it started. I watched the beginning of the RAW where Tyson and Austin went at it last night.

    Looks like a lawsuit coming WWE's way. During Lesnar's tirade on the announce table, one of the monitors he threw hit someone right on the face and supposedly hit a child too.

    Now they're saying that the picture of the black eye came from a fake Twitter account. Hard telling with the wild toss of the monitor and crowd reaction.

    I always thought 1M would be a wash from 200k PPV buys. I'm sure Wrestlemania still had some decent PPV numbers alongside the network. Just wait til it's opened up worldwide.

    yeah that's just odd to me of all the stars Taker has gone against at WM losing to Lesnar (a part timer) is just stupid beyond belief. (and i'm NOT a taker fan)

    Here's why it makes sense to end the streak to Lesnar.

    1) Taker wanted to. All of the great wrestlers go out on their back in the ring.

    2) His matches have progressively gotten worse since his best one with HBK at WM 25. The time was now. Granted his two with HBK and two with HHH were great, the Lesnar one was so-so.

    3) Having an up and comer like Bray Wyatt or Roman Reigns end the streak would have given that wrestler way too much to try to live up to for the rest of their career and probably would have done more harm than good. Lesnar is established, relishes being the heel, going to be hated for ending the streak, but is someone who can handle the heat.

    4) The whole streak talk at Wrestlemania has gotten stale. That is how it's been booked for the past few years. Now if Taker wants to go at WM 31 (rumored against Sting for their final hurrahs) there is no streak talk, there is just time to build a better less stale story.

    I don't disagree with most of this other than Lesnar had to be the guy to do it. IF the WWE has gotten so.... bad that they couldn't find anyone who could "handle it" (beating Taker at WM) then the WWE is truly a lost cause.

    That's my beef too. I have no idea who wrestles anymore but there wasn't another legend or someone more "credible"? There was no rule saying he HAD to wrestle anyway. If he was sucking it up, just don't put him on the card.

    I only commented because I have always liked The Undertaker. I think wrestling is lame and I can't believe grown men waste their lives watching it but to each, their own.

    Carry on.

    Ultimate Warrior passed away yesterday (day after appearing on Raw). I did think to myself that he didn't look "good" (he struggled to even shake the ropes) but didn't expect this.

    Yeah that was insane considering he was just on Raw Monday night. At least he got one last curtain call.

    that would be odd as i seem to recall sting being ADAMANT throughout his career that he would not work for wwf/e it's also just another part-time guy that going to take up airtime which only retards the development of the younger full-time roster. i don't get it. its like wwe is going with the old wcw strategy of just hiring old guys that are well past their primes.

    He'll just be part time.

    EVERYBODY'S GOT A PRICE!
