They're changing Burchills gimmick so he won't be a pirate anymore, but if Warwick Davis showed up I'd mark out. Best. Leprechaun.Ever.

I heard that... what the hell? They've kept dumber gimmicks going way longer. If they want to revamp someone, it should be someone who doesn't get a pop or draw real heat, like say, Umaga. Oooh, it's a guy from Three Minute Warning with marked smeared on his face because that was the closest thing Vince could get to Samoa Joe.

I'll be honest, I mark for Umaga. I think he's cool as hell. I'm pissed because I liked pirate Birchill , as long as he still uses the C-4 I guess I can deal with it but I won't be happy lol.

I don't want to like Umaga, but I kinda do just because he's filled with 80s silliness. And his manager is awesome. Hell, the fact that he even HAS a manager is awesome.

That's my deal, I think Armando is awesome so I like Umaga just because lol. Yesterday my cousin and I were watching the 2006 Hall of Fame and when we saw Sherri we talked about how Armando and Daivari are the only real managers these days, I guess you can count Melina as well but its a matter of principal.

I'd rather see Daivari wrestle personally, but I suppose someone has to be the voice for Khali. Unfortunately, I fear he will be stuck in that role as long as Khali is around. Lesnar eventually got good on the mic and dropped Heyman. There's no way I want to hear Khali talk for more than 15 seconds.

Lesnar good on the mic? In what world? Not to mention the guy looked like a shaved gorilla.

(in the high-pitched effeminate Lesnar voice): Here comes the paaaaaaaaaain!

Lesnar had arguably the best one-liner ever on Smackdown! when he was feuding with Eddie and had a Mariachi band in the ring.

"Come on Eddie, these guys swam a long way to be here!"

Yeah, that's a pretty good line. Still, my favorite Lesnar moment was in a backstage promo where he was talking about #1 contender match or something going on that night. He tried to say "one of you" but he ended up saying something that sounded like "one-is-ya".

My favorite Lesnar moment was when he tried to do a shooting star press and landed on his head. Good times, good times.

What about his Wrestlemania match against Goldberg where Lesnar had just quit and Goldberg had just been released and neither one of them wanted to get injured and they just sort of danced around for a minute before either one of them did anything? The worst part is that is could have been a great match. No wait, the worst part is that Goldberg took a stunner from Drunky McSpousal Abuse, the only man with worse knees than Hogan.

Ugh, that 'dream match' was terrible, and the audience let them know it. Now, Rock vs. Hogan was an awesome dream match. Probably moreso because I saw Rock vs Hogan 2 live.

Posted: Jun 18 2006 06:14 pm

Agreed. The Rock VS Hogan matches were great, particularly the first one. Supposedly at Wrestlemania XX, Hogan and Savage tried to sell McMahon on a retro dream match based on their very real personal grudges. Vince didn't like the idea though, because Vince is a douche. And now Savage is going to be on the Surreal Life. I will probably watch it, because I am a huge Savage mark. Still, I'd like to seem him get one last run somewhere. If Hacksaw and Kamala can get TV appearances, why can't the second most prolific wrestler of the 1980s?

It took me a moment, but when you were saying Savage I was thinking of Sgt. Slaughter.

Lesnar should write a book called "How To Ruin A Wrestlemania"

Too late. Pete Rose and John Cena already co-wrote it.

I liked the Pete Rose Wrestlemania appearances, I thought they were great.

Did anyone catch ECW last night? I was kind of annoyed with it, particularly one match. They took three great things The Sandman, Macho Man Randy Savage, and Nacho Libre turned into one pointless squash match that lasted all of two minutes. Macho Libre pissed me off immensely, especially since I don't remember the Macho Man saying everything twice.

Hasn't the industry outgrown squash matches? They bring back bad memories of pre-taped Monday Night Raw crapfests from the early 90s. Hell, they've been doing it on WWE programming with alarming frequency. If I have to see Umaga or Khali or whoever come down to the ring to fight yet another unnamed opponent who's already in the ring, I'n gonna snap.

It seems like every week their gonna have the Sandman totally beat down a joke character. Last week it was Zombie, last night it was Macho Libre, and next week itll probably be Ultimate Alien. A Cross between Ultimate Warrior and an Alien, since they don't like the Ultimate Warrior...or maybe that Vampire they keep showing. Why did they mock Macho Man anyway? I don't read internet WWE rumors, so I'm not sure exactly what goes on behind the scences, but is there some bad blood between Macho and the WWE?

Posted: Jun 21 2006 07:40 pm

I'm not sure... I've been wondering that lately too. As far as I know, Savage isn't in the hall of fame and the WWE seems unwilling to bring him, but they'll bring in just about everyone else: Hogan, Hacksaw, Piper, Tatanka, Kamala, Vader.... Savage can put as good a match as any of those guy.
