    My simple question is ... how does one practice that ... and how does one have enough confidence in it to actually do the move?

    Watching the Rumble live for the first time, I became convinced that the Rumble isn't booked to the level of detail I would have expected. There were too many moments where it made little sense for a wrestler to be knocked out when he was, as opposed to a few moments later. Diesel is a particular example, unless they were trying to get the stare down moment in particular.

    Nash coming out as Diesel especially doesn't make sense considering he was Nash just a few years ago as part of the nWo. But, then again, the WWE seems to assume we don't remember what happened more than a few months ago.

    With Morrison it was a gamble....if he landed the spot, then it's one of the coolest things ever seen in a Rumble, if not then he's written off as eliminated as he wasn't going deep in the Rumble anyways.

    As for Nash, he is probably not going to be a full-time wrestler with the WWE, more like a backstage agent, so just for nostalgia they had him come out as Diesel, which I'm fully fine with.

    Agreed, I just thought it was a curious choice.

    Lots of people are discrediting it, but it makes sense. I don't think they would hype up ANOTHER Undertaker return like they did tonight. Taker is on Smackdown, 2-21-11 is a Monday. I doubt his big return would be on Raw.

    Some new details on Kevin Nash's return, he was on ESPN Radio's Pro Wrestling Report and mentioned a few things in the interview:

    He says that the WWE flew him out from Daytona Beach, where he lives, and gave him great accommodations while in Boston for the Rumble. He said that usually whenever TNA flew him anywhere, they made him drive 90 miles to Orlando first.

    He said that he signed some paperwork and got a physical when he got to the arena, and then after he checked out he talked with Triple H, Stephanie and Vince in the time leading up to the Rumble, catching up and discussing future plans. He also met a couple guys from THQ and talked about future WWE video games.

    Nash said that he is currently signed to a Legends contract, which will have him and his likeness involved in possible Toys, Games and DVDs. He said he is meeting with WWE officials tomorrow to talk about what he will do next and if he will have any thing else coming up.

    Also, he posted the following on his twitter:


    Quote:
    I want to thank everyone at WWE. All the fans in Boston. For giving me a night I will never forget. (GroundHog Day) I’ll relive that 1 over

    As long as WWE will have me in wrestling capacity and my body can handle it, I will wrestle. It’s what I do! Best decision of my life.

    When Vince McMahon is the boss and your best friend and his wife run creative and you see each other and hug and there is true emotion….

    Contracts aren’t needed. I will do whatever I’m asked. I was welcomed back into the Family. I wont make mistake of leaving again!

    Lots and lots of people discrediting the Sting poster.....but I still think that this could be him from the preview they showed on Monday.

    The New York Daily News newspaper is reporting today that wrestling icon Sting has signed a one-year contract with WWE.

    A "mild" spoiler from the Smackdown tapings regarding Booker T:

    Spoiler: show
    Booker T was introduced as the newest member of the SmackDown announce team at tonight's SmackDown taping in Long Island, New York, replacing Matt Striker. The team now consists of the returning Superstar, Michael Cole and Josh Mathews.

    He performed the "Spin-a-Roonie" in the ring before joining his new colleagues at the announce desk.



    My thoughts:

    Spoiler: show
    Striker is the best color commentator they have had in a while...hopefully he goes to Raw.

    Great interview with Del Rio (out of character) just a couple of days after the Rumble.

    Someone posted that video on the Facebook page of a wrestling writer I follow when I saw that video it reminded me of Chuck Taylor:



    Chuck Taylor is my favorite indy wrestler....WWE has even ripped off his move (Sole Food)....and gave it to Gail Kim

    I know you've seen this before, JB, but after watching Chuck Taylor's grenade, I just have to post it again:


    Must watch with sound.
