I remember when I first became an RVD fanboy in 2001, going to the local stores and buying everything that I could find his name attached to it. One of those DVDs was Anarchy Rulez '99 and it was the one I was the least excited about. I mean, some of the DVDs I had found were RVD vs Jerry Lynn, RVD vs Sabu, RVD vs Bam Bam Bigalow and, while there were some other good looking matches on the card, but the headlining match was RVD vs... Balls Mahoney? Who the hell is Balls Mahoney? That DVD landed on the bottom of the stack as I devoured through the rest. When I finally got around to it, my expectations were not all that high. I mean, Balls Mahoney? Not Lance Storm, not Taz, no, Balls Mahoney. As it turned out, it was the best DVD of the bunch. A great card that exemplified ECW at its best and the biggest surprise of all, that main event that earned its spot on a loaded card. Don't you know how skeptical I became once I laid eyes on Balls. And then, RVD and Balls went out there and had a hell of a match, and it wasn't all RVD. Balls was one of those Paul Heyman guys long before the term was WWE-ized. Here was this big guy who can actually work, but had the kind of look that would have landed you some idiotic gimmick in WWE that would barely hit midcard status... and Paul E. gives him a gimmick that might actually sound worse on paper (His name is Balls and he hits people with decorated chairs). Yet, somehow, it all comes together to work in a way that only seems to happen in ECW and you have to give a lot of credit to Balls for making it work. But man, Balls was one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" lessons. RIP. |

Bad move, the one good thing about the League is so long as Sheamus and Del Rio are in it, they can't be booked into feuds and cut promos on each other that make watching paint dry an enjoyable activity. |

I knew there was something I liked about the League of Nations, but I could never put my finger on it, but there it is... The League keeps Sheamus away from a microphone. |

I'm not hating on Sheamus here. Maybe back in 2012 I grew tired of seeing him knowing he was buddy buddy with Triple H, but over the years his ring work has gotten better. For as shit as the feud was with Reigns, that TLC match they had was pretty good because Roman beat the hell out of Sheamus. Sheamus is pretty versatile in he can work stiff with certain guys, but others he can tone it down and still make it fun. However... his mic work, whether heel or face... just bad. If there's any guy that WWE needs to bring back on screen to be a manager to cut promos for some guys, Sheamus being number 1, it's Joey Styles. I know he's never been a manager before, but he's got the voice, he's comfortable talking, and he's over with the fans. WWE's had Joey Styles under contract for years and he's been doing behind the scenes work, but Joey's got talent and it should be used. I don't even know if he'd be into doing it, but it's something that should be attempted because I think we need more managers in WWE as Heyman can't do promos for everybody and Zeb Coulter is really a one character act. |

Almost like they could have used Wade Barrett for that, but they've blown that chance. I really can't think of anyone to manage Sheamus who would be a good fit with him. I could see Joey Styles excelling as a manager, but not with Sheamus. I think is best suited on his own and shutting up. No jokes, no long winded promos, just say as little as possible. |

And if you remember when he first debuted, that's who Sheamus was. It wasn't until after he was turned babyface in 2011 he had to start talking and ever since then he's been insufferable. |

Bret's always prided himself on "never hurting anybody" when he wrestled, but I wonder if he were 20 years younger and was working in today's WWE if he'd be able to say the same thing. The working style today is totally different and Vader, who still wrestles now and then, had been doing Strong style for years before debuting at the Rumble. Bret just didn't like working with Vader, which is fine, but he's complaining he felt numb and stuff... that directly contradicts what he said in Wrestling With Shadows where he says, "after a match you're supposed to feel like you've finished a long, hard days work." This quote is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read though. Bret makes it sound like Vader is more like Viscera wrestling Simon Dean.

WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels recently appeared as the first guest on the new podcast of former WWE, WCW and TNA head writer Vince Russo, “The Brand,” which is available right now at PodcastOne.com. During his appearance on the show, HBK shared a story about some advice he received from the late, great WWE Hall Of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. Michaels explained that Piper told him early in his career that the follow-up to a main event program in the wrestling business is potentially more important than the main event itself. HBK noted that this is “something that the WWE clearly struggles with today.” Additionally, Michaels explained why he never listened to fans when it came to his matches. “I don’t listen to fans … fans listen to me. I’m the wrestler,” said Michaels. “They don’t tell me what to do. Nobody is going to tell me if my match was good – I TELL ME if my match was good!” Source: http://www.sescoops.com/shawn-michaels-on-not-listening-to-the-fans-advice-he-got-from-roddy-piper/ |

WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated the Q&A section of his official website, JRsBarBQ.com, fielding questions from fans on a number of topics. In his latest update, “Good Ole’ JR” touched on topics such as Shane McMahon running RAW the past few weeks despite losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, Sami Zayn’s potential in WWE, rumors that AJ Styles has been working too stiff in his matches since joining WWE, the controversial subject of ChrisBenoit in the WWE Hall Of Fame and more. Below are some of the highlights from JR’s latest Q&A update. On why WWE didn’t have Shane McMahon beat Undertaker at WrestleMania if they were going to have him run RAW anyways: “Don’t have an answer for you…sorry. It’s obviously not that big an issue to WWE or they wouldn’t have forsaken their top Wrestlemania stipulation after 24 hours. Dave Meltzer and I address this matter on this week’s Ross Report Podcast.” On Sami Zayn’s potential in WWE and rumors that AJ Styles has been working too stiff: “Zayn is a main eventer in waiting and he’s likely not going to be waiting long. Talented, dedicated pro. BTW working stiff isn’t a crime but working in a careless manner is. Don’t believe all that you read or ‘hear.'” On if he thinks ChrisBenoit will be, or should be, inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame: “Old question with the same answer…if Chris could chime in I feel that he would not want to be inducted due to it becoming a distraction and all about the final days of his life and not about his in ring contributions.” On what it would take for another brand split to work in WWE: “The full and total commitment by upper management to pull the trigger. It won’t work unless the brand split stays clean IMO.” Source: http://www.sescoops.com/jim-ross-on-shane-mcmahon-running-raw-sami-zayns-potential-chris-benoitwwe-hof/ Edited by pokajabba, Apr 15 2016, 09:19:43 AM.

So the history books say that Raven won the WWE Hardcore title a record 27 times, but I honestly do not remember a single time he won it or lost it. |

My question is, why the fuck are there still people who want WWE to do another brand split?!

Well during those early years of the original brand split Raw was more story focused and Smackdown was more about the in-ring wrestling product. So they felt like different shows. In a sense if that was brought back and Raw was left as the Roman Reigns Fellatio Extravaganza and Smackdown was essentially NXT with a bigger stage and blue ropes, it could work. Mind you I'm not hoping there's a brand split. |

It worked back then, but there was also a roster large enough to sustain it. Nowadays, they have very few guys to work with and struggle to even make ONE show watchable. It'd be pointless nowadays, and besides, I'd hate to have to miss out on half the roster entirely, 'cause I'm NOT going back to watching Smackdown every week as well. I ain't got time for that shit.
