HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa...

You're missing the best part from the crowd

maaaan I was JUST as shocked when I heard that. lol

I'm getting more and more behind Santino. I swear, whoever writes his stuff is classic. "Did you have dinner with him? Did you have kibbles with the bits." "I should have been in the bank money match or the Royal Battle" :tpg:

first off gt...nice name. lol



okay...apparently mine got flipped too...

The whole board flipped >_> It some usual GFF crazyness going on.

LawL At HHH


Face HHH is so much more entertaining than Heel HHH.

So here is an article about the end-of-wrestlemania events. I won't paraphrase this one because I basically have already had what the article said in a previous post:

Fireworks injure dozens at Wrestlemania - Yahoo! News

Not the way to end their biggest eventof the year.

As was stated, Taker and McMahon came to the ring after the show ended.

Here is a link that shows what happened afterwards:

Bigupload.com - Ric Flair Raw Tribute After Raw Went Off The Air

It is really amazing that his career is finally over AND the WWE let him go out on a good note. Save for Trish Stratus, how many feel-good moments have they gave with wrestlers who have contributed so much?

I still think back to when I saw him in 94, and thought that his career was over (he had that career Vs career with Hogan and lost). Of course he came back, which I was happy for as they showed a video of his career up to that point and I felt I was missing out. I'm glad that I was able to see roughly the latter half of his career.

Ultimately, I forsee Flair coming on occasionly for T.V. appearances. I don't forsee him becoming the GM again, a manager, or an announcer. Then again, this will truly be a test for Flair because this is truly the first time he will be gone from wrestling. Yes, he was gone for a few months last year to sort things out, and yes his last few months have been mainly T.V. appearances, and yes he has been out up to a year with previous injuries (albeit it was when he was much younger and had more 'energy' that made it hard for him to just sit around), but this will be the first time that he is truly away from it.

I do forsee the possibility of him coming back for one match. If he does, it will be Mania 25. Dunno who'd he face. Maybe Michaels in a rematch if Michaels did a heel turn (unlikely, I forsee Batista doing so). Maybe Triple H as Trips was the other guy Flair would have liked to have ended his career with. Sorta a way for him to do both. And that would be good for Trips as it would show that he is letting the future talent step up as he steps aside from the Mania main event which he has been apart of for the last several years since Mania 20 (excluding last years due to his injury).

I think Flair stated in an interview that hes going to be in more of a company role doing PR or something like that.

YouTube Video

here is a better version of the video and i don't know if its just me or is big upload just very very slow.

Starcade DVDs, especially the one where he fought Steamboat(but that was at Clash of the Champions I think) and it ended in a draw is going to be selling for a ton of money on ebay.

Heh, I remember I found a video store that had these years ago and I was in heaven. Too bad they were old tapes that I couldn't bootleg. I think '90 and '85 are the only one I still need to see. I loved the tournament structure in 89. Main event for 84 sucked...They stopped it at like 5 minutes in because Dusty was bleeding. Bah...

And yes, you're think of a Clash. It was actually a win for Steamboat after 54 minutes and the controversy (both men's shoulders were down) led to Flair winning the belt back at the next PPV. Maybe you're think of the 45 minute time limit draw with Sting (which was an amazing match, BTW). This was the very first Clash.

Nah I was definitely thinking Flair/Steamboat. It was "THE DOUBLE CHICKEN WING!!" as so hilariously shouted by Tony. Ricky was one of those guys where winning the title was more of a chore than anything :(. But by far all my favorite Flair matches were the ones with Vader.

Well, I have heard they are making a Starcade Anthology/DVD box set or something like that.

The Flair/Steamboat match is actually on the Ric Flair DVD. A fun match to watch.

Some other fun matches with Flair would be:
Flair Vs Savage (WCW battles, especially in Jan/Feb 2006 where the title bounced between them), Flair Vs Undertaker (Mania 18 I believe), Flair Vs Triple H (2003), Flair Vs Edge: TLC, Flair Vs Angle, Flair Vs Windham (Clash of Champions).

There are, of course, several others but those matches are fun to watch. Seeing him against Angle, Edge, and Trips were all awesome because it showed Flair could really go when he needed to.

Apparently the incest angle they had with Paul Burchill is getting dropped. Since WWE wants to go back and target a younger crowd again. Which means (if there is anything that should fucking go right in the wrestling world) the pirate gimmick may come back.

Where'd you find this info out?

So the cycle continues. What was it? 99? 2000 that they tried this angle then put it to rest a few weeks later? At least this time the angle lasted a few WEEKS before (thankfully) ending.

Given that the fans reminded him repeatedly about his pirate gimmick, you'd think it would be in the WWE's best interests to bring him back as that character.

Oh, and I am taking it that if this be the case, we won't be seeing any 'heelish Cena raps' from 2003 anytime soon.

I guess considering they haven't been on TV...for a good solid month or so I guess you could assume its getting dropped

Don't worry, they will be back. HIs manager will be his 'girlfriend' and he'll say, "My name is 'Frad'", and he'll wear drunks with a smiling pirate on them.
