^Notice the similarity between his 3rd theme and the Rock's theme? "The Black Hart" was part of the Nation of Domination, which also included the Rock. Rock's music originated from NoD, although as a whole they used a different theme. There were many bits and angles of Owens that poured over into other wrestlers. "The Game" angle was originally meant for Owen, but he died and it was given to Triple H.

On a happier note, here's a nice flashback. Sexy goddamn Candice Michelle, water, and 2 gawking Hardy's. Notice Matt's hilarious facial expressions from 1:39 to the end. :1orglaugh

WWE throws yet another one of their people under the bus.
"the flag stunt was NOT planned or approved by WWE officials." - - - My ass!

Heels do heel things, and the heel disrespecting the host's flag is one of the oldest staples of 'heeldom'. I'm sure the Brazilian fans know this and were fine with it, because they know it's a character(You can hear them laughing in the video when he does it, and laughing further when he's apologizing). What's supposed to happen after the kayfabe disrespect is that the face beats up the heel and then holds up the flag proudly to a cheering crowd. They never got the chance because apparently the Brazilian police didn't understand, so then the WWE corp. cover their asses by playing dumb and toss the guy on the front line to the wolves.
Y2J's taking one for the team, I guess.

^Maybe "tossing to the wolves" is the wrong way to put it. Whatever the truth of the matter was, they did what they had to do. Anyway...

I don't know about anyone else, but I want to see that "WCW: best of Clash of the Champions" dvd! Looks pretty cool.

Also, the tv description says Booker T interviews Big Show. So...I guess Booker is taking some time off...

This should be Daniel Bryan's favorite album.

If mods could rep people, I'd have repped you for this.

C'mon GUYS!!!! you have to know better than this! i have been watching wrestling ALONG time and you need to realize 99.9% of everything associated with wrestling is fake!
IS jericho really suspended for "desecrating" the brazilian flag OR is jericho and his band FOZZY just finishing up a new album and going out on tour??... well the album part is correct they have finished recording their new album but they will also be in england for a bunch of shows to start off JUNE. so half a months worth in June and then anything else related to the new release would AND could equal a month...or a month suspension!

From what I've seen, it's legit.

Well, Randy Orton has been suspended for violating the Wellness Policy again. No Jericho, no Orton. In case anyone is wondering, yes this is Orton's 3rd suspension but apparently it's only his 2nd wellness violation, so no termination. At least that's what's being said. Oh, one more thing, yes Jericho's suspension is legit.

I heard Randy loves that Yayo.

Here's a June 2012 calendar with Trish Stratus

 

[darkwarrior3007]

It appears that Randy Orton failed his drug test because he tested positive for marijuana and the steroid Dianabol. He was only gonna be fined $2,500 for the weed but further tests revealed the steroid and that's what got him suspended.

Cody Rhodes also failed a drug test but he has valid prescription for whatever he's taking and thus avoids suspension.

It's funny how 'Ran-dee' has such a strong following with kids (as heard every week on tv with the chants), when he is such a bad role model. Even before this drug suspension. "Nice guys finish last". Yeah, great lesson for the kids. Good riddance.
He'll be back, though. He's still too big of a draw for the younger audience. He could run an underground drug ring, have a hundred puppy heads impaled in his living room, rape a girl scout troop and piss on the American flag and he'd still get his job back because kids like him.

Randy probably thought he was above the tests.

See, thing is, with Orton and his spot on the roster - I'm curious what they do with him. This is Strike 2 and he's got the main event spot (should be Strike 3 but they "let one slide"). Once he returns, will he have it or will they kind of depush him and have others like Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett, and Cody Rhodes get the proper elevation? I hope so. Make him learn his lesson, and not - HEY, I GOT SUSPENDED, BUT WHO CARES, I'LL GET MY SPOT BACK ANYWAY!

WWE needs to grow balls and do the right thing.

 

[whalers90]

i know it's a week late but i watched the UHD replay of Raw yesterday (i can't watch/record Raw live) and this past weeks show was not very eventful. so now they are going to make Big Show look like some monster wrestler who destroys everything? why not have done that from the start? or mostly through his career? overall not a very good show

Well, everyone is saying that one of Randy's suspensions was for behavior issues, I don't remember that, but if it was then Randy only has 2 strikes for drugs. I do remember Randy picking on people backstage years ago but I don't remember him being suspended for it. I thought it was for drugs. You're right, he should be demoted but he won't be. He'll probably get punished for a week or two and then he'll have his spot back.

It was supposed to be Tensai, but he's getting repackaged now.
