"Macho Man" Randy Savage brought a chaotic poetry to the ring. He's widely considered one of the finest in-ring competitors of all time, and his interviews were always a sight to behold. For the first time ever, fans can relive the entire storied career in Macho Madness: The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection, a 3-DVD set that spans two decades of exciting and intense matchups.

I can't wait.


And Swagger vs Christian was a HELLUVA match to say the least. God damn, I'm about to go watch it again.

Christian may have lost cleanly but "the art of losing and the power of sympathy" (quote from Bret Hart) made him come out looking almost strongerthan Swagger. Christian clearly had Swagger beat but couldn't pull off the Unprettier (Killswitch) because his arm was too worked over, so Swaggercapitalizes and they both come out looking strong in this match.

Conclusion:

1. Christian is the truth and clearly has what it takes to be main eventing anywhere he wants.

2. Swagger is the future.


Just found this :

Raw doin it big two weeks in a row

- Last night's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW scored a 4.1 cable rating, the same as last week. The showfeaturing John Cena vs. Chavo Guerrero in the main event and Triple H confronting Legacy did hours of 3.93 and 4.27.

 

[D Fly]

I just noticed that Christian thing DSK posted...good news to hear.

I'm glad they're just building him back up to this newer audience(which they they almost screwed up with Jericho) , and then by sometime this summeryou can throw him in a WWE or World Heavyweight title storyline or somethin.

What happened at the end of Raw with HHH and Legacy? My DVR cut it off.

you don't wanna know

it was basically a remake of The Shinning and HHHs audition for The Thor

 

[414hammerboi]

That was a damn good match b/t Captain C and Swagger. 1st match in a while where I didn't turn the channel once.

 

[agthekid]

Kizarny sent back down to developmental.

Homie is 35 years old? They might as well release him, heisn't good in the ring and I don't possibly see him holding gold. I had high hopes for him, but when I saw him in his first match he was terrible. Andhis finisher made Mike Knox's look like the Rock Bottom.

 

[aquagrape2345]

Idk y they would send Kizarny back down. But I cant wait to see how this WM plays out. But ? fellas where did this Fight to the undertaker come from and whatdoes it have to do with Shawn Michaels?

i think the only reason they stilll keepin him is because hes childhood friends with edge and christian and maybe they have something to do withhim still being around

 

[jules300]

Although previous reports stated that the reason behind Scotty Goldman's release were his look and a creative dead-end regarding his character, those maynot be the only reasons.



Apparently, his match against Umaga during his last televised match at SmackDown played an important part too. Goldman was supposed to get the Samoan Spike ina way that it looks more devastating but instead he made it look as if Umaga had missed the move. Vicky ordering the match to be re-started was a consequenceof this, so that the finish would look better on TV. This led to some backstage heat on Goldman.

Besides what GotHoles said.... he really needs alot of work wrestling wise. He's got the unique look and personality..he just is a noob in the ring tho.

Big Update on Jericho & Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The last word coming out of WWE was that the plan is for Mickey Rourke to be at ringside for WrestleMania 25 and get involved in the finish some way of Chris Jericho's WrestleMania match. The working idea involves them building Rourke up as a former boxer so the crowd would pop and the punch to Jericho would have an effect.

As far as Jericho's match goes, Vince is telling people he has the idea covered, but nobody seems to know what that idea is. One name that has came up as a rumor for his opponent is Jerry Lawler. Lawler is a legend and has been putting over how appalled he is each week at Jericho's actions. Also, Lawler has never competed at WrestleMania and at 59 years old, it's doubtful he will ever have another opportunity. Lawler still works some independent matches and could probably pull off a good match with whoever is in his corner and with Jericho's abilities.

There is a lot of talk that Hulk Hogan may be Jericho's opponent, but as of right now it could go either way.[/font]

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]if Jericho faces Lawler. Ipray that's not Vince's big secret.[/color]


Vince McMahon keeping his creative writers in the dark on Wrestlemania 25 plans.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As of Monday at RAW, the WWE creative team still didn't know the full card for WrestleMania 25. PW reports that Vince McMahon is keeping the writers in the dark regarding the big PPV. The writers obviously have a good idea of the direction they will be heading into, as the fans do because of the current storylines, but they haven't been officially told the full WM 25 lineup.

There are also no plans set for the WWE Draft as of yet. WrestleMania is the top priority right now, and no serious conversations have even taken place regarding possible draft moves.

There are various theories regarding why Vince is shying away from the creative team. The two issues that continue to come up are Vince's lack of faith in the writers, and his fear that there are leaks who will let the lineup information get out before he wants it to. He's been getting upset lately over the last couple months regarding the amount of info that's gotten out, most notably the information that Christian was supposed to be Jeff Hardy's mystery attacker[/font].


More on Freddie Prinze Jr. leaving the WWE; was he the leak?

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As noted earlier, Freddie Prinze Jr. was released from WWE last week. He was still in the loop on everything regarding last week's TV shows. Stephanie McMahon approached him a few months ago about adding to his duties and heading up new projects. He was offered a promotion and more money but politely declined and told them he was actually a few days away from giving his notice to the company. Stephanie was caught off-guard by this and talked him into staying part-time for a short period of time. Prinze had not traveled with the writing team in many weeks but was included on all script drafts that went out by e-mail and if he gave any feedback to those scripts, nobody is aware of it. Prinze did help WWE with their Oscars party in Beverly Hills last week and the feeling was that both sides hope to maintain some sort of a relationship even though he is gone from creative.

There has been speculation among WWE staffers that Freddie Prinze Jr. was one of the creative writers leaking WWE information. However, the official reason Prinze left WWE because of the demanding schedule, which is one of the main reasons other writers have departed from the company. There's no word on what project he will be taking on now that he's done writing for WWE, which he didn't do much of anyways by the sound of things.

Vince McMahon has been getting upset lately over the amount of classified info and spoilers that have gotten out to the internet, most notably the information that Christian was supposed to be Jeff Hardy's mystery attacker. The entire storyline was changed because of this, with Matt Hardy being Jeff's attacker and Christian being sent to WWE's ECW on Sci-Fi. It's gotten to the point where Vince is now keeping his own writing staff in the dark regarding WrestleMania 25 plans, specifically the ones regarding Mickey Rourke.[/font]

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Jericho facing Lawler would be the biggest @*#! you to Jericho.

The Christian Swagger match was really, really awesome. I wouldn't mind them not having a rematch for now if it meant Christian was to in MITB. I do hopethe 2 feud in the future over the WWE/World Heavyweight Championship

 

[D Fly]

Well Vince is smartening up in that aspect(with preventing stuff from leaking out) but I think info will always slip through the cracks no matterwhat..it'll just take longer to reach all the news sites or w/e.

Part 2

 

[T0INE]

^ God bless you DSK.

I'm about to watch it now.

If Lawler is Jericho's opponent @ Mania.

I'd rather have that no selling, orange skin *@*!###@@, otherwise known as Hulk Hogan fight Jericho.


EDIT:

Finally got around to watching the match and Imma co-sign you guys it was pretty damn good.

I think Jack Swagger is gonna have a bright future in the WWE; he reminds me a lot of Kurt Angle. especially with his All American American gimmick

 

[mjmoney23]

Swagger has far more potential than worthless Ted or "the prince of pro wrestling" Cody.

Please God let this me a lie.

Some stuff...

-- The formerly titled One Night Stand pay-per-view scheduled for Sunday, June 7, 2009 will now be titled "Night of Extreme." The June pay-per-view was re-named "Extreme Rules" a few weeks back.

^^^
So it will be "Night of Extreme" then "Night of Champions" following it? Quite repetitive

Very little has been said regarding WWE's new show on WGN America (debuting Thursday, April 16 at 8:00 p.m.), but what is known is that the company plans on putting forth effort into the program. The idea is for the show to not be based around the likes of Charlie Haas, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Kung Fu Naki, but to have the regularly featured stars appear, as well as storylines. However, this will only last as long as it can draw good enough ratings to make the effort worthwhile, and WGN isn't even a top 50 cable station. If nothing else, the show will be around for a while as WWE signed a multi-year deal to air the program not to mention that the long-term future of MyNetworkTV remains in question

Believe it not, but Sim Snuka is one of many currently under consideration for an announcing position on the upcoming WGN show, WWE Superstars. This should explain why the second generation wrestler has surprisingly not been let go yet. For all intents and purposes, his character on Raw has been dropped. Snuka has not been seen since the January 12th of edition of Raw where Ted DiBiase double-crossed him (and Manu) on his return.

^^^
WWE Show on Thursdays again

While it has yet to be officially confirmed, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is expected to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his arch enemy, Vince McMahon. This is according to columnist Ken Hoffman of the Houston Chronicle.

^^^
Not that of a surprise.

WWE released a statement touting Monday's strong Raw rating as it was the most-watched episode in two years. Monday's Raw drew a 4.1 cable rating with 6,031,000 total viewers - up 32,000 from the previous week.
